1264 I Will Never Leave Again!

Katakuri subconsciously widened his eyes. He could ‘see’, and his Observation Haki, which could predict the future, allowed him to see what happened after that.

He knew the trajectory of Kuro, where Kuro appeared, and which part of his body would be cut open.

What he ‘saw’ was that Kuro appeared behind him and slowly put away his sword. Then, he was cut from his right shoulder to his left waist.

Since he saw it, he could avoid it. As long as he used his ability in advance and turned into a ball, splitting his body, he would not be able to hurt him.

Thinking that, he does it, only …

Phew.

When the wind brushed past his body, Katakuri had just had this thought. Then, he seemed to have noticed something and turned his head abruptly. He saw that Kuro had already appeared behind him, maintaining the posture of pulling out the knife and raising it.

Seeing him turn his head to look at him, Kuro straightened up. Autumn Water drew a knife on her hand and the tip of the knife began to enter the sheath.

At this moment, Katakuri’s chest area turned into a ball and bloomed, as if he deliberately dodged such an attack, creating the same gap as Autumn Water.

He dodged it?

Katakuri lowered his head and stared at his chest. He wanted to say that he had dodged it, including just now.

Even if it was Jin Lu, it’s not that he can’t resist, he can still block this blade… and so on.

But just as he was about to say this, he was stunned again because he ‘saw’ the appearance of his wound bursting with blood and the words of the person behind him.

“Can’t you hear me?”

Behind him, Kuro dropped Autumn Water into the scabbard, and these words were repeated by Katakuri, “The soft sound of the wind.”

Chi!!

Blood spurted out from the gap in Katakuri’s chest that was deliberately exposed, and then his body fell forward and fell to the ground.

Kuro smacked his lips and looked back. “You even said my lines at the end.”

There was no answer, but his body was rising and falling, indicating that he was still alive.

He did not dodge Kuro’s move.

Because he could not hide.

Even if he could foresee it, it did not mean that his body could keep up.

Sometimes, there are too many things that happen when you see things with your own eyes and your body can’t react in time. Although Katakuri has been trained for a long time, it will still be too late when he meets the more unconventional Kuro.

Katakuri could see it, but he had no time to react because Kuro was faster and stronger.

Kuro did not hold back. Although he used Autumn Water, it was a profound meaning in itself.

But this is Katakuri after all. Of course, it is impossible to kill him with a profound meaning, and it is really impossible for Kuro to kill him.

Kuro re-ignited a cigar, inhaled, and then blew out a mouthful of smoke. He looked at Katakuri’s undulating body and said, “I won. Everything in the past is written off. Be a good boy and be your Shichibukai. Don’t play tricks anymore.”

Of course, Katakuri still did not answer.

But Kuro didn’t care. Such a man is a man who keeps his promises.

Kuro is bullying him because he will keep his promise. Otherwise, whoever plays a duel with him would have already changed to another method. He might not even count this person in the Shichibukai.

But now the opportunity has come. Not only is the other party making a choice, but he is also making a choice. In terms of strength or character, he will naturally not fail if he chooses the better one.

Ka’er and Yamato are actually not bad, but Yamato doesn’t agree, so he naturally chose Ka’er.

If he wants Shichibukai’s position again, he can only defeat the original Shichibukai and replace their position.

This was the rule set by Kuro before. Although it was not said openly, everyone knew it.

Shichibukai, which he leads, does not accept great failure. Once the failure is reported on the news and cannot be suppressed, Shichibukai will be replaced.

Now that Karl won the bet, the last empty seat in Shichibukai was naturally filled. He no longer had to worry about Shichibukai.

He ignored Katakuri, who was lying there, and went straight to the Pavilion of Heaven’s Guardian. Kro, who was already prepared, appeared there and commanded Marines to carry Katakuri to the medical room for treatment and began to prepare the Shichibukai contract.

As usual, the last route is handed over to Katakuri, who can collect a toll tax, but 20% of the total income must be turned over to the World Government, 15% to Marines, and 15% to G-3.

Although he is in the Country of Peace, he has not lost the title of G-3 Base Commander. The current Country of Peace can even be called Fortress G-3, but it is a little bigger.

According to Mr. Kuro’s instructions, after bandaging and treatment, he asked Crowe to bring the contract to the submarine port.

There are still people waiting below. If you want to treat your injuries, just go back and sign the contract.

“Okay, it’s almost done.”

In the hall, Kuro leaned against the recliner with a cigar in his mouth. “The last piece of the puzzle is complete. The first half of the puzzle is watched by Shichibukai, including the front end of the New World, which can contain many pirates. As for my place, in an environment like the Country of Peace, no pirates can enter. It’s safe!”

How could it be unstable?

Kuzan hasn’t come back yet. He alone can block a large number of pirates…

“What about Kuzan?”

Kuro rubbed his chin and asked, “Kaz is back and Kurzan is not back?”

“Mr. Kuro, there is no news of Mr. Kusan for the time being,” Crowe said honestly.

It was true that he could not be contacted. Even as a member of the Spider Group, Crowe could not contact Kuzan now.

“This guy… won’t run away directly, right? Didn’t he say he would come to me to find a position?”

Kuro rolled his eyes, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. That lazy man did not refuse. He was probably just doing a part-time job here.

Kuro did not think that something would happen to Kurzan. Otherwise, there would have been intelligence on the battle fluctuations. Now that there is no movement, it is obvious that he ran away after finishing it.

But it doesn’t matter if there is one more or one less. If he has made up his mind to stay here, then nothing will happen to the Country of Peace. Now that the situation has entered a calm state, as long as he waits for a long time, the Country of Peace will become more and more stable. At that time, Kuro will also become more and more stable.

He was already guarding here and did not take the initiative to contact the outside world. Even if this place is the back end of the New World, I guess no one would be willing to come to such a dangerous place.

Before the Country of Peace was ruled by Kaido, it was very difficult for people to go up there. After being ruled by Kaido, no one could enter for 20 years. Now that it was Kuro, could he do worse than Kaido?

The Country of Peace!

In the future, his ruling territory will be placed here in the Country of Peace.

No one can move him at all. He has had enough and will never leave again!
