Chapter 144

nThe Sound of the Divine Wind

nAlthough Xela’s legs are short, he is big. For Kuro, he can run very fast.

nAutumn Water Blade opened slightly and Kuro disappeared on the spot, and a black stream of light appeared at the feet of Xila.

nKuro appeared on the other side of Xela. Autumn Water had already returned to her sheath. With a soft click, the last part of the blade returned to its sheath.

n“One Blade Flow: One-Line Sky.”

nChi!

nAt this moment, a huge spark appeared on Xela’s metal leg, leaving a knife mark on it.

n“So hard?”

nKuro clicked his tongue. “Much harder than Lida.”

nOf course, this is talking about Leda’s aggressiveness.

n“Ga!”

nXela turned her head to face Kuro and flapped her wings in exasperation again as she ran over.

nWhoosh!

nKuro instantly appeared on Xela’s head, his eyes narrowed, and Autumn Water was pulled out.

nAnother black stream of light appeared in Xela’s head.

n“One Blade Flowing Moon.”

nChi!

nA series of sparks erupted from Xela’s eyes, and its eyes were also full of metal lumps. Ordinary slashes seemed to be useless.

nNo wonder Marco couldn’t do anything to him.

n“Ga!”

nIt spread its wings and suddenly smashed towards Kuro in the air.

nKuro flew back and easily dodged Xela’s wing attack and landed on the ground.

n“Although its speed is slow, its defense is really top-notch. The monsters of the New World are really dangerous.”

nKuro’s expression was a little strange. He turned his head and looked at the townspeople who had already hidden far away, either under the rock or behind the big tree.

nLiving in such a dangerous world is hard on them.

nAfter missing Kuro, the strange bird flapped its wings angrily, then paused and stared at Kuro. It suddenly opened its mouth and stuck out its barbed tongue. Its soft tongue shook and it looked very flexible.

n“Your tongue is quite flexible.”

nKuro glanced at it and smiled. “But you are a bird. Otherwise, many people will like you.”

nThe strange bird ignored him. After shaking its tongue, it moved to the left and pulled hard to the right.

nWhat does that mean?

nProvocation?

n“Ga!”

nSuddenly, the strange bird let out a strange cry and its barbed tongue turned into an afterimage and shot straight at him.

nThis speed…

nKuro was shocked and quickly raised Autumn Water to resist. His tongue pressed against the Autumn Water Blade, but there was a metallic sound.

nDang!

nA strong force came from Autumn Water, forcing Kuro to retreat and his feet slid back against the ground.

nBang!

nKuro hit a house and directly created a big hole in the house and came out of it. He slid on the ground for dozens of meters before stopping.

nThe tongue stopped on Kuro’s blade, dozens of meters away, connected to the long beak of the strange bird.

nKuro could not help but swallow his saliva. “Are you a grandmother?! Your tongue can be so long and so fast?”

nKuro was really shocked.

nShocked, there is a bird with a very long tongue in the New World. Then why is it so long? What is going on? Kuro is also curious. Now he will take you to understand why the tongue of this strange bird is so long.

nLike hell!

nKuro tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and a smear of black came out from the handle and climbed up the blade.

nIn an instant, the strange bird seemed to have felt something and retracted its tongue into its mouth.

nThis stunned Kuro.

nHis Armament Haki only covered the handle of the blade…

n“You can smell the color?!” Kuro’s eyes widened in disbelief.

nMonster, Observation?

nWhat the hell is this?

nThe monsters of the New World are so terrifying?

nThe strange bird ignored him and flapped its wings, and a large number of metal spikes rushed towards Kuro.

n“Zhanbo!”

nKuro instantly slashed out a golden slash, but the slash only knocked off half of the metal spikes that were shot over before dissipating, and there were still many metal spikes behind.

nIn particular, this strange bird was still flapping its wings and continuing to shoot those metal spikes.

nKuro had a strange expression on his face. Could it be that this guy saw that he had Armament Haki and wanted to use this attack to consume his Haki?

nThe hardness of this metal spike is not bad. Chop can only knock it off, but not destroy it.

nThe monsters of the New World are indeed terrifying!

n“Wait, it’s hard…”

nHe looked at the metal spikes coming at him. The size of this thing was similar to a dagger.

nGood stuff!

nKuro’s eyes lit up and he gave up the idea of using Haki Slash. Instead, he reached out and grabbed it.

n“Lion Wei Ground Scroll!”

nA thick earth wall rose in front of him, and a large number of metal spikes hit the earth wall and sank deep into it.

nKuro smiled excitedly. He liked such a hard and big thing. It was comparable to Tina.

nAlthough Tina is longer than it, she is not as hard as it is.

nIf there were more, Kuro would be so happy.

nFree wool, why not rake.

nBang!

nSoon, under the bombardment of many metal spikes, the earth wall formed by Kuro was destroyed, and the spikes mixed with soil fell to the ground.

nKuro took a step back and clenched his fist again, raising another earth wall with a lion’s head and letting the metal spikes hit him.

nThe earth wall quickly collapsed and Kuro reached out again, “Triple Lion Gate!”

nThree huge earth walls formed a tall gate, and at the top of the gate, a mighty lion head appeared.

nThe strange bird spread its wings angrily, as if it wanted to shatter the Lion Gate, and the metal spikes were released more and more densely.

n“More, more, I like it!” Kuro grinned.

nThere were more and more metal spikes, the first, the second, and the third.

nJust as Kuro was about to continue reaching out, he realized that the strange bird seemed to have stopped, and there was suspicion in its eyes.

nSeeing this scene, Kuro immediately showed a frightened expression, holding his chest and panting heavily, looking very tired and afraid.

n“I, I can’t hold on anymore. Damn it, this strange bird is so scary…”

n“Ga!”

nThe strange bird spread its wings again and the metal spikes attacked.

n“This… is my last strength, Xela!”

nKuro stretched out his hand with difficulty, clenched his fist, and roared, “Fivefold Lion Gate!”

nThe huge earth wall became five.

nBehind the earth wall, Kuro immediately straightened his body and whistled.

nPop, he would kick hard.

n### NOT DEAD YOU.

nThis strange bird is quite useful.

nIt’s a pity that he ate a lot. He probably ate some kind of metal. Otherwise, how could he release so much metal? Coupled with his actions just now, he seems to eat people?

nOtherwise, he would want to subdue such a smart monster.

nEven if he didn’t eat people, just eating other things, Kuro wouldn’t think about this size.

nThere is already a foodie at home, and this is a foodie.

nCome on, let’s eat metal… I can’t afford it.

nFive Lion Gates were shattered.

n“Ga!”

nThe strange bird showed a very proud expression, wings

nHis mouth was wide open.

nLike a crab …

nKuro became even weaker at this time. He half-knelt on the ground and reached out his trembling hand. “I, I still have the last bit of strength. Monster, I will try my best to stop you. As a Marine, I will protect civilians.”

n“Marine Big Brother!”

nSuddenly, a sound came from the forest.

nShyri walked out with a determined expression, followed by a group of people who seemed to have made some kind of decision.

n“Little brother, you have done well enough.”

nThe burly man smiled and said, “Although I don’t know what you are here for, we will not be looked down upon by Marines. We… are the people protected by Whitebeard, how can we be protected by Marines!”

n“That’s right, in terms of protection, it is us who will protect Marine and prove the strength of Whitebeard!”

nOn the other side, another group of townspeople stood out, each with a weapon in his hand, facing the strange bird.

n“Hey, little brother, quickly escape. This is our business, it has nothing to do with you.”

nBang!

nThe burly man fired a shot into the sky and roared, “Let Marine see the ambition of the people under Whitebeard!”

n“Charge!!!!”

nA group of people, regardless of age or gender, rushed towards Xela.

nKuro was in a daze.

n‘What are you doing?’

nI’m acting as a bird, not a human!

nBut it seemed that it was useless to say anything now.

nThis was because the strange bird let out a cry and a large number of metal spikes appeared on its wings, about to burst out.

n“Really, what the hell…”

nKuro sighed. The fleece scheme had failed.

nHe raised Autumn Water horizontally and rushed up domineeringly. Then, he wiped his fingers from the blade.

n“Unseen God’s killing sword…”

nWith Kuro’s voice, Autumn Water’s blade had a golden light mixed with the black.

n“Ga!”

nXela, who was about to attack, screamed. Her eyes, which were full of metal bumps, were full of fear. She flapped her wings and the metal spikes were put away and her body was about to take off.

nKuro held Autumn Water with both hands and raised it above his head.

nWhoosh!

nThe body tens of meters away from the strange bird swayed like a reflection in the water.

nIn the next moment, Kuro appeared in front of the strange bird and slashed down.

nChi!!!

nThe domineering black saber landed on the abdomen of the strange bird. Under a series of sparks, it quickly split its surface defense and shot out a huge ball of blood.

n“Flood Dragon!”

nThose who rushed towards the strange bird all stopped and stared blankly at Xela who was bleeding.

n“He actually broke Xela’s defense.” The strong man said blankly.

nThat’s a defense that even Marco can’t break…

n“Ga!!!”

nThe strange bird shook its body and cried out in pain, but at this time, it still flew up, left the ground, and rushed up.

n“Little brother, it ran away!” The strong man exclaimed.

nAt this point, it could break Xela’s defense, but it still escaped.

nIt would be a pity to run away from such a rare opportunity!

nThere will never be such a chance again…

nAnother person patted the burly man on the shoulder and said, “Forget it, they have already done enough. We have no right to ask them.”

n“What a pity.” The strong man looked up at the strange bird that had risen to the height of the building and sighed. “If we could be stronger…”

nThere was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

nKuro turned around and expressionlessly shook off the blood on Autumn Water and slowly returned Autumn Water to her sheath.

n“Did you hear that…”

nBang!!!

nThe body of the strange bird above suddenly expanded like a balloon from the inside and suddenly exploded, dropping countless flesh and metal pieces in the sky.

n“The soft sound of the wind.”

nClick.

nThe last section of the blade completely closed.

n
