"Kuro!!"
In the steam-filled area, William roared, startling Sazel.
Instinctively, he swayed his body like a willow branch, directly dodging the column of steam that shot out from beneath his feet.
This thing is so hot that Sazir could sense it even before it was attacked.
However, he had already done everything he could to avoid it.
This, however, made William even angrier.
What is Kuro of the East Blue? What is Kuro of the Grand Line?!
He clearly dodged my attack, yet he's spouting nonsense here.
Isn't that just looking down on him?
Or rather, he completely looked down on the pirates of the East Blue, and even distanced himself from the East Blue.
Too arrogant and conceited!
boom!
A large number of steam columns rose again around Sazir, forcing him to frantically use his paper drawing. However, the temperature inside was also getting higher and higher. Sazir, who had used up all his Haki by using 'Myō-ō-sō', had some stamina left but could not use Haki. Without Haki, he did not even have the power to resist the steam.
However, he couldn't withstand this kind of power in the first place. How could a nature-type being easily withstand it?
Moreover, the high temperatures involved are not something that Haki can withstand. Even if Haki can temporarily block Logia-type attacks, the environmental damage caused is the most harmful.
Blisters have begun to appear on Sazir's skin.
"You're injured, and you still don't intend to fight me? You're not even going to use your sword!" William roared. "Don't look down on pirates from the East Blue, Kuro!"
I may look down on anyone, but I would never look down on you!
Sazir roared silently in his heart.
He does look down on the East Blue pirates, thinking they are too weak, but this guy is clearly an exception!
Seeing Sazir's injured appearance, Elmira frowned and said, "Could he be right, and he really isn't Kuro?"
"That ship is real. Could there really be two ships with the same name?"
William yelled, and the greatsword, shrouded in steam, suddenly swung outwards and violently towards Sazir.
"Overheat Slash!!"
Steam, besides humidifying, can also be superheated; it is a form of power in itself!
"You're from the East Blue, yet you keep talking about the Grand Line. Remember, the Pirate King is from the East Blue too! Let me show you the power of the East Blue pirates! Come on, Kuro! Fight me!!"
Sazir stared wide-eyed as the massive steam-powered greatsword came crashing down. The instant the sword struck, Sazir felt an intense heat that instantly caused numerous blisters to form on his left arm.
If you get hit by this move, you will be instantly vaporized.
I'll die, I'll die!
call!
Just then, a black and gold slash suddenly appeared, directly cleaving through the column of steam that was shooting out like a pillar, and then cutting into the steam greatsword. Where the slash passed, it directly cut through the steam greatsword, revealing the rapier inside. The golden slash erupted into a whirlwind at the steam greatsword, blowing away the surrounding steam and making the surrounding environment clear.
At that moment, Elmira, Montblanc, and Sverre were all taken aback.
"Hey, this intensity..."
Montblanc broke out in a sweat. As a martial artist, he was more sensitive to auras than they were, and therefore more certain that the aura that had appeared ahead was terrifyingly strong.
Besides its immense power, it also carried a strong, pungent smell of blood—the smell of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
"Ku, Lieutenant General Kuro!"
Sazir looked back and was immediately overjoyed.
Behind him appeared a group of marines, among whom Kuro waved his Shusui sword, looked at the steam giant, and clicked his tongue: "As expected, a Logia-type... Lida."
Lida walked over and pressed on Sazir's back. Instantly, Sazir straightened his back, and the blisters all over his body disappeared.
“Thank you, Miss Lida.” Sazir breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you to find a treasure chest uncle, how did you end up with these things?" Lida gave Sazir a disdainful look.
"It was an accident, but..."
Sazier looked at William and the others and said, "These people are very strong. If they are this strong, why are they still in the East China Sea? They must have a conspiracy!"
At this moment, the steam giant rapidly faded away, transforming into William's figure. He stared blankly at Kuro, his body beginning to tremble.
Yes, that's him!
Although more than ten years have passed, you can still see the shadow of his youth in his appearance.
The moment William saw Kuro, he knew for sure: this was Kuro, the powerful Kuro!
At this moment, William calmed down. The excitement he felt when he first met Sazel disappeared, and he began to use his Observation Haki instead.
It was only then that he realized that although this 'Clow Reed of the Grand Line' was quite strong, it seemed that he could defeat him without even using his abilities.
But that real Kuro...
That kind of power is truly terrifying!
"Huh, this thing..."
Kuro stared at William, who had returned to human form, for a moment, and then took out the portrait and photograph from his pocket.
blond hair, blue eyes, and handsome features...
“Sam William?” he asked.
William's eyes widened. "Do you know me, Kuro? I'm your neighbor across the street, William from the Sam family!"
“No, I don’t know you.” Kuro’s next words startled William.
