Squeak!!
Gryphon moved, his feet scraping against the floor with a sharp, grating sound, and smoke rose from the ground.
He shot forward at high speed, hurtling towards Kuro. His legs, as thick as an elephant's leg and twisted like steel bars, delivered a horizontal kick that slammed into Kuro like a heavy object, accompanied by a whooshing sound.
Just by looking at its imposing presence, one can sense its violent power.
Kuro spun the Luo Gui, and the materialized killing intent coiled around the blade like two snakes, directly slashing at the incoming leg.
"drink!!"
A sharp glint suddenly appeared in Gryphon's eyes. He roared and, without dodging or avoiding, quickened his pace, directly colliding with the incoming blood-red longsword.
Bang!
The shockwave exploded, and the collision between the knife and the leg created a dent in the ground that rapidly spread outwards, cracking and splitting. In front of the long knife, buildings were sliced in half and fell to the left and right.
In the direction from which the leg was kicked, the building in front was also blasted open, as if it had been hit by a heavy object, creating a large hole from the center and opening up several buildings.
In the clash between the blade and the leg, Gulliver's leg barely managed to touch Clow's blade.
"His mastery of domineering style is truly impressive!"
Kuro was startled. His slash first cut through Gryphon's Haki, and then when it touched his body, it was blocked by the Haki!
"Um!!"
With a muffled roar, Gryphon kicked out, forcefully blocking Kuro's sword and pressing it towards him. At the same time, he clenched his left fist and punched Kuro's head with a whooshing sound.
Have you ever seen a fist as big as a clay pot?
Kuro has seen it now, and this color is also the bottom of a damn black pot.
He crouched low, and the long sword Luo Gui slashed directly past Griwo's legs, then rose like a blood moon, transforming into a streak of blood light that pierced through the gap in Griwo's punch, flashing straight toward his throat.
Gryphon's eyes widened, and he spurted out a stream of air like an arrow from his nostrils. With a thud, his body landed heavily on the ground, but his fist still slammed downwards.
when!
The crimson light appeared, transforming into the long sword Luo Gui, its tip aimed directly at Griwoon's throat, but it could only leave a bloody mark, breaking through the skin without advancing an inch further.
Is your body that strong?
Before Kuro could even be surprised, the fist came crashing down, piercing through his body.
Kuro's body vanished like ripples on water, his afterimage dissipating under the force of that punch.
"Physical abilities? No, something is holding me back."
Kuro appeared not far from Grimoire, tossed Luo Gui aside, and said in a low voice, "You're an Ability User too, aren't you?"
The two slashes were not stopped by Haki. Gryphon's Haki mastery was very high, but Clow's Haki level was not low either. In addition, he used Killing Intent Entanglement. The slash directly cut through his 'Haki Release'. However, at the same time as it touched his legs, in addition to the covering Haki, there was something else that was stopping Luo Gui.
Just now, when I touched the throat, it was stopped by some force.
Kuro looked at Gryphon, whose shin had been ripped in the clash with Luo Gui, and a bloodstain appeared on the iron-like muscle.
But it was just a bloodstain, like the bloodstains on the throat.
It's hard, but it's definitely not muscle strength.
Moreover, the opening in the building behind Kuro when the sword collided with his legs was not simply a result of Haki power.
laugh!
Another wisp of white smoke, like an arrow, escaped from Gryphon's nostrils. He adjusted his posture slightly, assuming a fighting stance, and muttered:
"I am a 'Wave Man' who ate the 'Wave' Fruit. Adjusting my breathing, stimulating my potential, and sensing the Way of Qi are the supreme uses of the physical body!"
Kuro paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "A fluctuation? A ki gong?"
The 'fluctuation' here is not the 'Adorgen' in Kuro's common sense.
Instead, it involves comprehending the fluctuations of Qi, strengthening oneself, and using Qi to entwine the body, something similar to a swordsman's "Iron-Cutting Breath," allowing one to experience the wonders of all things.
This thing already exists; the swordsman's slash and the fist impact of a martial arts master basically belong to this level.
But this thing can only be produced through years of cultivation.
Devil Fruit ability... that's truly a miracle.
After all, there are too many ways to acquire power in this world.
A mere master of physical skills is not invincible, nor is a mere swordsman.
A complete power user is one who combines physical skills, swordsmanship, Haki, and Devil Fruit abilities.
Especially the power of Devil Fruits; the power unleashed by the right Devil Fruit is definitely not as simple as 1+1.
Simply put, Devil Fruits are a unique feature of this world, and everyone has to try them.
"Relying on the fluctuations to resist my blade?"
Kuro clicked his tongue. This guy... is quite imposing.
This domineering skill alone is enough to make Kuro take it seriously.
As for this level of physical skill precision, even though they've only exchanged one blow, Kuro could foresee that this guy was definitely a master of physical skills. He certainly didn't have the talent of Lida, but with his current strength, he could take on several Lidas.
In addition to his special ability to enhance his physical body, there was also his almost overwhelming, intense fighting spirit that could be smelled from a great distance...
A martial artist who is as pure as can be.
In some ways, it is even more threatening than the Four Emperors.
Because he is not afraid of anything.
"Kuro!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Kuro.
Lida, along with Kro and Sazel, rapidly approached this direction, followed by a large number of marines.
"Oh no, Kuro, the Celestial Dragon is dead!" Lida shouted even before she got close.
That kind of thing is in the past.
Kuro exhaled and said, "Go further away. Also, move all the people in the Golden City who are being controlled out of the city. Mobilize the ships in Gion and squeeze them out. Get all the irrelevant people out of the Golden City."
“Mr. Kuro, we have information that Rob Lucci is approaching with ten warships. Now that the Celestial Dragons are dead, this place…” Kuro said.
"That's why I'm asking you to move all the irrelevant people out!"
Without turning his head, Kuro said, "Also, notify those ten warships to come and take people over first. After that, they can bombard us however they want, but my orders must be carried out first."
With the Celestial Dragon dead, regardless of Rob Lucci's original purpose in bringing ten warships, the Buster Call must be launched now to destroy the Gran Tesoro; this is the most urgent task.
Kuro knew the World Government's nature, but when would the Buster Call be activated...?
This can be addressed.
He's different from Sakazuki. Sakazuki either strictly follows the rules or stubbornly adheres to them, but Kuro himself will find loopholes in the rules.
Whether it's sooner or later, the Buster Call will still be launched, and the World Government won't investigate this matter too deeply.
