Conqueror's Haki.
Only one in millions of people has this qualification.
King Cheng's qualifications.
Although in Kuro's eyes, Conqueror's Haki is practically everywhere.
But upon closer reflection, aren't there only a handful of people who possess Conqueror's Haki?
These are all figures who, over the decades, have defeated countless losers to rise to the top of the world.
The Supernovas also fought their way up; out of so many pirates in the world, how many can safely reach Sabaody Archipelago?
You think it's a lot, but it's actually not.
You think it's not much, but actually... it really isn't much.
In this era of fierce competition, only the strong survive.
If you take it lightly, you'll eventually capsize.
Once the navy had regained consciousness, Kuro picked up Hancock and they set sail for Marineford on three warships.
At this moment, in the warship's office, Hancock sat directly on a chair made of coiled snakes, looking up at Kuro in front of her.
She specifically asked Kuro to dismiss everyone around her, wanting to be alone with him; this was her condition for boarding the ship.
This condition made Kuro think hard, and after nearly three seconds of anxious contemplation, he finally agreed with great reluctance.
"Hey, man."
Hancock spoke up, "I'm very curious, do you know about my past?"
Kuro sighed, "Since you've asked, I won't hide it anymore, that's right..."
He looked at Hancock and gave her a wicked smile: "I know your secret!"
Hancock's expression changed, and she subconsciously bit her thumb.
"If you're so eager to know, then I'll tell you."
Kuro gripped the table with both hands, leaning forward with a sinister smile: "You, Boa Hancock, what you received wasn't the curse of 'Gorgon,' but rather..."
"Yameh!"
Hancock put her hand to her forehead, leaned back dramatically, and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Yamete!"
"It's a Devil Fruit, right!"
Kuro, with an expression that seemed to see through everything, leaned back, a cigar dangling from his lips, and an air of arrogance on his face. "I know perfectly well that you don't allow outsiders into Kuja because you don't want knowledgeable people like me to know that what you're doing isn't a curse, but rather petrification caused by eating a Devil Fruit power, right? I'm telling you, you underestimate the Navy. This kind of lie is too low-class."
"You man!"
Hancock stopped what she was doing, stood up, and glared at him fiercely. "I will find out!"
As she spoke, she walked straight to the door, opened it, and saw Lida stumble and rush in.
"Um, I wasn't eavesdropping."
Lida retorted, "I was just passing by."
This is the top office, there's only one room. Which way do you go?
Kuro rolled his eyes, watched Hancock leave, leaned back in his chair, exhaled a puff of smoke, and muttered, "Why bother finding out so much? It's better for everyone if we don't say anything."
Why bring it up? It's not something to be proud of.
He prides himself on not being a pushover, but there's really no need to dredge up other people's wounds like this.
It's not honorable to say it out loud.
Even Lucilfer Kuro wouldn't resort to threatening someone with such a disgraceful secret.
Being targeted by Hancock was completely unexpected.
It's all because of that idiot, Kro!
Lida went into the room, her little nose sniffing around like a dog.
Hmm, I didn't smell anything strange, except for that annoying woman's scent and Kuro's cigar smell.
"Kuro, what does she want in your office?" Lida looked at Kuro suspiciously.
"I want to know about a past I don't want anyone to know."
Kuro said, "She's a rather pathetic woman."
Kuja has been a pirate kingdom since ancient times. Due to the Calm Belt, there is no trade here. The only way to travel is to rob outside the Calm Belt.
But everything comes at a price.
If you become a pirate, you must be prepared to be killed by the Navy.
This is the only possible outcome for pirates.
Other things, such as slavery...
Anyway, he doesn't like it.
This thing can destroy a person's soul from the very beginning. Even Tiger, the sun in the hearts of fishmen, still had a shadow in his heart in the end.
This shadow will stay with you until you die.
Someone with a strong mind like Tiger can control himself, but someone with a weak mind like Aaron is a completely different story.
The tattoo on Arlong's crew in the East Blue is essentially no different from the hoofprint of the Celestial Dragons.
Not only will the dragon slayers become dragons, but those who escape from the clutches of dragons will also become new minions of dragons.
That's so damn annoying.
Kuro shook his head, picked up the Den Den Mushi next to him, and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, this is Lucilfer Kuro. Boa Hancock has accepted the summons and is now returning to Marineford."
...
Outside the office, Hancock stepped out of the ship's fortress and onto the deck. The sea breeze ruffled her hair, making her eyes look somewhat unfocused.
That man definitely knew.
Why not say it...? That annoying man, given his sleazy ways, should tell me.
Hancock was torn. On one hand, she hoped Kuro would tell her where he got the information so she could cut ties with the Navy and put an end to this worry. Even if the outcome was bad, she knew that once a secret was known, it was no longer a secret, so it was better to end it now.
