Kuro clicked his tongue and cursed at Shuten-dōji, "Where did you come from? What are you doing hiding here, trying to rule the world?!"
"I have no interest in that!"
Shuten-dōji took another sip of sake, his expression suddenly darkening: "But since you have disturbed my sleep and destroyed my dwelling, then I will go to the sea and spread terror, so that you humans will remember fear!"
"Oh? That's really impressive. Let's see if you can get out of here alive first."
Kuro completely disregarded what this guy said, and even spread fear? Even if the three over there didn't have Logia-type abilities, their pure Haki and physical skills were enough to deal with him.
This guy looks like a Mythical Zoan, but apart from his abilities... he doesn't seem to have anything special about him.
"call..."
Kuro exhaled and said, "I don't have time to play any fighting games with you. I'm very busy. Do you know how complicated it is to deal with the affairs of an entire world? All you do is put on some childish act and talk about feeling fear. Now I'll show you what fear a real person can give you!"
Without needing Luo Gui, Kuro simply drew Shusui, gripped it with both hands, and the Absolute Void burst forth from his own body, then merged back onto the blade, leaving a blood-red ribbon imprinted on the blade, making it gleam with golden light.
"The Profound Mystery of the Unknown God's Romantic Journey..."
Whoosh!
Kuro flashed forward, and before the monkey could react, he slashed at the center of the monkey's body with his sword. Just as the golden blade was about to strike the gourd the monkey was gulping down, the monkey shrank back, and a strange power surged around its body, as if it wanted to dodge.
At least, he removed the gourd.
Pfft!
Golden light descended, sweeping out from the very center of the monkey, shooting out a burst of golden light from the top of its head all the way down.
"Disillusionment".
Kuro maintained his downward slashing stance with both hands gripping the sword, raised his eyes, and said calmly, "Can you feel it? The whisper of the wind of death."
While it was impossible to dodge that kind of force, it wouldn't have hit him completely like this. In Kuro's mind, if this guy could dodge, he would have slashed down at its shoulder, and the result would have been the same. But the reaction on the spot was different. It was already quite good that he could make an evasive maneuver at Kuro's speed.
But instead of dodging, he moved the gourd away.
After slashing down with his sword, Kuro flicked the blade before straightening up and asking, "Is this gourd very important?"
Shuten-dōji swayed slightly, glanced at the gourd he had forcefully moved aside, and gritted his teeth, saying angrily, "None of your business!"
After saying that, he paused for a moment, his body trembled, and then his core began to turn into ashes, which gradually spread outwards, from his chest up and down, to his neck, chin, cheeks... and his eyes, filled with resentment but also with a touch of nostalgia, staring at the gourd that had fallen onto the ice.
Kuro raised an eyebrow. As the ashes scattered, he bent down, picked up the gourd, shook it, and felt a heavy, trembling sensation.
An unusual aroma of wine emanated from the mouth of the gourd.
"Good wine..."
Kuro sighed, "It's been a long time since I've smelled anything this good."
"Oh dear, is that all?"
Kuzan walked over, scratched his head, and said, "You're still pretty fast. As expected of you, Kuro."
"Come on, don't give me that!"
Kuro rolled his eyes and grumbled, "If you three were serious, you would have found him, killed him, and come back to report by now! Are you kidding me? Three admirals in the Navy, whether you've retired or not, and you can't even handle a small island? You had your fun, but what about the Navy's reputation?!
Kuzan and the old man go without saying, and Sakazuki was probably provoked by them, so he also used his abilities to fight only those ghouls.
Kuzan smiled and said, "Well, don't worry about it. It's a rare moment of relaxation. Didn't you take this opportunity to come out? It's not like you gained nothing. This island... the Island of Wine, I know a little about it."
"Know what?"
"Ah, when I left the Navy, I traveled around a lot. I've heard of this place. Fifty years ago, it was a famous sake-producing island, but it was destroyed because of the covetousness of others. Since then, there have been few people here, and no news has come out. But now it seems..."
Kuzan stroked his chin, glancing at the spot where everything had turned to ashes. "Perhaps everyone who landed here became one of those ghouls. And that monkey... hmm, the brewing techniques of the Island of Wine seem to be related to monkeys."
"I don't have time to listen to stories!"
Kuro rolled his eyes, floating with the gourd in his hand. "Alright, stop waiting here. Go back and deal with your business. And pretend I was never here. It's embarrassing to have the three of you handle something that I, the world's head of government, have to deal with. As for the wine... I'm taking it. It's a trophy, after all. It smells good, it should be quite fragrant."
Peng!
After saying that, he flew directly into the air and flew into the distance without stopping at all; he seemed to be very busy.
"Ara la..."
Kuzan scratched his head, saying regretfully, "I heard that the sake from the Island of Sake used to be incredibly delicious, and quite potent too. What a pity..."
...
Two days later, Kuro flew back to Kaitian City. Before he could even rest for a moment, he was bogged down by heavy tasks and obediently went to deal with the documents.
"You're all completely incompetent! How can I manage the ocean with a bunch of insects like you?!"
While grumbling, Kuro pushed a thick stack of documents to Kro, who was waiting in front of him. "Go, process these according to my instructions, and then pass them on to Cass. You all should see my approach and learn from it!"
