Kaido and Charlotte Linlin exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat grave.
That aura, visible to the naked eye, was unmistakably murderous.
They knew that Kuro had a murderous aura, and they also acknowledged that Kuro was a strong person.
However, even the strong have different levels. In Kaido and Linlin's eyes, Kuro belongs to the 'young people' and the 'juniors'. They admire and praise him, but ultimately they do not place Kuro on the same level as them.
Aside from the fact that their strength was not up to par at the time, they were missing something crucial—Conqueror's Haki!
That's the kind of innate talent that only one in a million can possess.
Or rather, it's the power of Conqueror's Haki, a power that only a very few people on the high seas can master.
Given Kuro's current level of strength and age, perhaps in another ten years or so, he will be placed on the same level as them, but that will be in the future.
To be precise, leaving scars on the two of them is nothing to be proud of.
The real threat is the ability to kill them.
The current Kuro possesses this power, a killing intent no less than their Conqueror's Haki, and the killing intent swirling around his sword...
Sizzle!
Kaido's spiked club crackled with black lightning.
Charlotte Linlin's Napoleon was also shrouded in white, fiery lightning.
Being struck by that murderous blade would leave more than just a scar.
but...
"Horo horo horo! Kuro, come on!" Kaido laughed loudly.
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuro flashed and quickly jumped in front of Kaido, slashing him with his sword.
Just as Kaido was about to swing his club, he noticed that the figure that had unleashed the blade was rapidly fading away.
when! !
On the other side, Charlotte Linlin wielded Napoleon, turned around and slashed, colliding with Kuro who appeared behind her, causing a commotion on the surrounding ground.
"Oh my god! This kind of sneak attack is useless!" Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly.
call!
Kaido reacted and slammed his club at Kuro behind him.
Kuro leaped upwards, dodging the thunderous spiked club, but just as he dodged, Charlotte Linlin unleashed a powerful attack.
"Wei Kingdom!"
"Tsk!"
Kuro's body flashed through the air, creating several afterimages as he quickly retreated from the area covered by the shockwave, letting the attack hit the sky. However, before he could stabilize his body, Kaido, who had just retracted his staff, opened his mouth and spat out a stream of fiery energy.
"Heat Breath!"
Kuro was startled and swiftly slashed at the energy ball, splitting it in two and sending it flying to the ground on both sides.
The energy burst forth, creating two craters in the ground and bursting into flames.
Flame energy compressed beneath a human form?!
boom!
Just then, Charlotte Linlin unleashed a punch, her fist wreathed in flames, spewing out a ball of fire that struck Kuro just as he severed Kaido's 'heat breath,' arriving right in front of him.
“Black Tortoise!” Kuro said coldly, turning his blade.
Bang!
A tortoise-shell-shaped defense was released in front of Kuro, blocking the fire attack and allowing the flames to spread in all directions along the tortoise-shell defense.
"Horo horo horo!"
At that moment, a figure appeared in the sky. Kaido, holding a spiked club in both hands, suddenly jumped over and slammed the club down on the turtle shell defense.
They coordinated too quickly; there was no way to dodge!
Kuro's eye twitched, and he swiftly flicked two fingers across the blade of the Luo Gui sword, causing the blood-red blade to glow with golden light.
"The ultimate mystery of the unknowable divine wind..."
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
Click!
The tortoise shell of Xuanwu's profound technique shattered, and the iron rod headed straight for Kuro's head.
"Huanglong!!"
At that moment, Kuro, wielding his sword with both hands, slashed upwards with his reversed kasaya, colliding with the iron rod.
Boom!!!
The ground around Kuro immediately cracked open, sending rubble flying outwards, and the aftershocks of the force created a large hole in the ground.
Luo Gui and the iron rod clashed together, their killing intent and domineering aura swirling and mixing at the center of the blade and the rod, locked in a stalemate.
"Heh!" Kaido grinned menacingly at Kuro.
"Wei Kingdom!"
Charlotte Linlin appeared directly to Kuro's side, grabbed Napoleon, and unleashed a shockwave that engulfed Kuro's figure, sending him flying far away and crashing into a hillside in front of him. The shockwave pierced through and annihilated the hillside, then swept across the ground, kicking up dust further ahead.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" she laughed heartily.
"Horo horo!" Kaido landed on the ground, hoisted his spiked club onto his shoulder, and laughed out loud.
"Mom, it hurts so much..." Island said in a pitiful voice.
"Okay, okay, just bear with it for now," Charlotte Linlin said, then looked at the source of the smoke and dust.
A figure slowly emerged from the smoke.
The black-backed blood blade emitted smoke, which was then swept away to reveal Kuro's body.
His clothes were now tattered beyond recognition, riddled with holes.
"Pretty powerful, isn't it, Kuro!" Charlotte Linlin laughed.
"What's so powerful?"
Kuro looked up and said coldly, "Do you mean you tore my clothes?"
Tear!
He casually ripped open his shirt and threw it away, revealing the distorted sun symbol on his chest.
"call..."
In that instant, he exhaled a breath of white air and shot it straight out, then inhaled again, covering his body with the 'Black Tortoise Body' once more.
He pulled Luo Gui back, and at that moment, a large number of fist-sized raindrops suddenly fell from the sky.
