nThe Crafty (1)

nBang!

nIn just a moment, the thick shell caved in.

n“Wow!”

nBarker transformed into his original form and spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after, his scalp went numb and he rolled over on the ground. A slash appeared on the ground where he was, plowing a deep gully.

n“How is that possible? This steel-skinned curled worm that I have transformed into can’t even be hit by knives and spears.” Barker rolled a few times and looked up in disbelief.

n“That depends on what kind of weapon it is. Ordinary weapons can’t do it, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t.”

nCrowe pushed up his glasses and stood leisurely. “It’s an interesting transformation, but if it doesn’t dazzle me, you will die here.”

nThe user of the sixth form has mastered all six forms, and the combat power that he can erupt with is very fierce, the kind that can cut rocks.

nBack then, Rob Lucci cut off a steel plate on the Judicial Island, and I, Crowe, used my claws to release a blue foot that dented steel.

n“Disguise!”

nBarker gritted his teeth and roared. He transformed into a rhinoceros with huge horns and charged at Crowe with anger.

n“It’s a rhinoceros.” Leda recognized the animal.

n“Oh? You know him?” Kuro asked.

nLeda nodded and drooled. “I’ve eaten it before. It tastes very good. Don’t look at the thickness, but when cut, the meat inside is very tender. Later, that group of rhinoceroses disappeared for some reason and I don’t know where they went. I miss that taste so much, even without any seasoning, it is very delicious when roasted.”

n“I’m not asking if this thing is delicious… Forget it, anyway, it’s only different for you.”

nHow did it disappear?

nI’m afraid you ate it all.

nKuro pulled the corners of his mouth and blew a smoke ring in silence. Fortunately, he had the base of the Headquarters canteen and he still had a lot of savings.

n“Oh? Are you so angry that you can’t think straight? If that’s the case, it’s hard to use Kenbonshoku (Observation).”

nCrowe chuckled and moved at high speed to avoid the impact of the rhinoceros, allowing the rhinoceros to charge forward. The horn of the rhinoceros hit a large rock more than five meters high, shattering the rock, showing the strong impact.

nBut what was the use if he couldn’t hit anyone?

nAt the moment it smashed the rock, Kuro flashed to the back of the rhinoceros, “If the thing you changed into is injured, you will also be injured, Finger Gun.Claw!”

nChi!

nCrowe spun and slashed his claws on Rhino’s back, easily cutting open Rhino’s back. Just as Crowe was about to continue his attack, Rhino roared angrily and turned into a huge silverback gorilla, suddenly swinging his arm at Crowe.

nIt’s too late to hide!

n“Iron.”

nCrowe’s body tightened as he forcefully swept his thick arm over.

nBang!

nCrowe’s body flew out like an arrow and hit a small hill, raising a cloud of dust.

n“What’s going on.”

nBarker transformed into his human form and stared at the smoke with an ugly expression.

nThe blow just now seemed to have hit steel.

nThat guy… a real Marine Elite!

n“Six styles… Sorry for the trouble.”

nBarker let out a heavy breath. The pain in his back calmed him down and there was a red light in his eyes.

nI can’t hide anymore, or I’ll really die.

nWhoosh!

nThe dust was blown away by a strong wind. Crowe walked out and stood on the ground, patting the dust off his suit.

n“That’s it?”

n“It’s useless, don’t anger me.”

nBarker smiled. “I’ll show you the horror of the metahuman!”

nHe suddenly jumped up and turned into a vulture, diving towards Crowe.

nCrowe narrowed his eyes slightly and held his claws in front of him, ready to meet the attack. However, at this moment, his pupils shrank and he suddenly jumped from the spot.

nBOOM!!!

nA huge solid cannonball smashed into his original position. It did not explode, but its mass was enough to make people suffer.

n“Can this thing be changed?” Kuro was shocked.

nThe vulture just now turned into a huge cannonball in midair.

n“Wow, can it be turned into food…” Leda bit her finger.

n“What the hell.”

nA trace of cold sweat flowed down Crowe’s forehead. If it weren’t for the fact that he dodged quickly, that individual would have hit him hard.

nAs soon as his feet landed on the ground, a claw blade swung over. However, the huge cannonball instantly shrank and turned into a Gopher. Its two claws dug into the ground and quickly drilled into the hole, causing Crowe’s claw blade to miss.

nWhoosh!

nBefore Crowe could retract his hand, a few vines suddenly extended from the hole and wrapped around Crowe’s arm. Crowe was shocked and subconsciously retreated, but the vines had been wrapped around his hand and there was no length at all.

nJust as Crowe was about to cut the vines with his claws, the vines suddenly softened and turned into Barker’s body.

nThe distance was closed.

n“My fruit ability is that I can ‘disguise’ their appearance after looking at them once, including their characteristics and effects. However, I can only disguise each object once. You forced me to use my many years of storage, so you have to pay the price!”

nHe smiled sinisterly and pulled his other hand back.

n“Local Disguise, Transformation, Ox Footprint!”

nThe hand turned into a huge ox hoof and fiercely imprinted on Crowe’s chest.

nBang!

nCrowe spat out a mouthful of blood and his body hit the ground like a cannonball.

nThis time, he did not even have time to use the iron block.

nKuro glanced at the ground that was stirred up by the smoke and shook his head. “So, the high bounty is not unreasonable. Paramecia’s ability is too treacherous. You have to take it as a warning and don’t be careless, Leda.”

nBecause of this, Kuro hates going to the Grand Line, especially the New World.

nNone of the pirates who survived in the New World were simple.

nEspecially ability users, Devil Fruit is an existence that can surpass miracles.

nLeda nodded. “Anyway, will Chloë be okay?”

nKuro said, “He wants to test his own combat power. It’s natural for him to be injured, and at this level, it’s not impossible for him to move.”

n“Cough, cough.”

nThis time, it was Crowe who coughed up blood. His slicked-back hair was a little messy, a few strands of hair fell to his forehead, and he knelt on one knee, panting.

nBarker also landed on the ground at this time and said with a sinister smile, “How about it, Marine, don’t underestimate me, I am also a person who challenged Yonkō (Four Emperors)!”

n“Stop being arrogant, Pirate!”

nCrowe straightened up and swooped down, dragging his claws on the ground. His speed became faster and faster, until even his afterimage could not be seen.

n“Speed Shave Tiger Claw!”

nTen crossed cold lights appeared in front of Buck, and Crowe was long gone, leaving only his voice.

nSpeed, too fast!

nBarker could not dodge in time and could only roar, “Disguise, South Sea Shell Spine Crocodile!”

nHis body expanded and spikes appeared on the surface of his body. His entire body turned into a huge thick-skinned crocodile with spikes.

nChi!

nTen intersecting marks were imprinted on his chest and a ball of blood spurted out. Barker did not collapse and turned into his human form, kneeling and gasping.

nAnd Crowe appeared behind him, hands crossed, one knee on the ground.

n“Eh?”

nKuro and Leda both made a soft sound.

n“Kuro, that move…” Leda was a little surprised.

n“Ah, like my ‘One-Line Sky’.”

nKuro smiled. “Sure enough, he still has the aptitude. After watching for so long, he finally learned a little.”

nOne Blade Flow • One Line Sky.

nIt was once used by Kuro to stop Monka from reaching the Dao Integration Stage, and its speed was many times faster than shaving.

nKuro had also shown this move to Crowe, but he didn’t expect him to learn some of its essence.

nIt’s good to have aptitude!

nThe stronger Crowe is, the happier Kuro will be. In that case, if anything happens, Crowe can replace him.
