nActually, I Want to Leave, I Don’t Want to Stay

nAt that speed, they would be here soon.

nEven if they leave now, it will be too late. Marine still needs to reorganize. While they are reorganizing, Golden Lion will come over. He can’t expect Golden Lion to not be domineering, right?

nMoreover, there are people on this island.

n“Calm down, calm down!”

nKuro took a deep breath. In the face of such a famous pirate, he had to think.

nI can’t expect him to be like the main characters and be helped by the heavens.

nInstead of counting on that kind of thing, it would be better to count on a bolt of lightning to kill this old thing now. He still had to strike it in a direct manner. It wouldn’t work even if he missed. He would definitely be killed by one bolt.

nHowever, in the face of known opponents, Kuro was not too afraid.

nWhat humans think is the most dangerous is, of course, the unknown.

nThis was also the reason why Kuro felt that he was not strong enough and did not want to go to the Grand Line, let alone to the New World.

nThere are too many peculiar metahumans.

nHis swordsmanship is a barrier ability that even Gods can’t cut.

nThe ability to make people age backwards by more than ten years.

nIt also has the ability to turn people into toys.

nOr the ability to make people smaller and older.

nThe ability to be abnormally depressed after being pierced by a ghost.

nThis is the power of a miracle. It’s best if it can only effectively hit the body of an ability user. Hit ability? No one can do that yet.

nAbove the sea, there should be more than these treacherous abilities.

nThere were also those powerhouses who were so powerful that they could almost destroy the world.

nThese were the ones that Kuro did not want to encounter. He was still too weak.

nBut now that he can’t avoid it, the known is better than the unknown.

nHe could still operate a wave.

n“Let me think. Golden Lion is now in his seventies or eighties. His physical fitness will decline as he gets older.”

nThe older, the stronger?

nStop it.

nWhen you are old, your physical fitness will definitely decline.

n“Moreover, he disappeared for 20 years, that is, 20 years without fighting. There is no big impact, and his combat experience will degrade a lot.”

n“I remember that this guy has a rudder on his head, which affects his Haki performance. Haoshoku should be gone, and Kenbonshoku (Observation) will also degenerate a lot.”

n“As for my current strength, the old man is right. I am a general candidate and there is a gap between me and the generals and Yonkō (Four Emperors), but the current Golden Lion is also a gap from them.”

nKuro narrowed his eyes. “It can operate a wave!”

nActually, he wanted to leave, but he didn’t want to stay.

nHowever, the Golden Lion was clearly close.

nI can’t leave!

nIf he passively waited for Golden Lion to come over, he would have to consider his subordinates and civilians in the battle. Moreover, if he fought in front of them, the outcome would be known and it would not be in line with his original intention.

nThen there is only one choice!

n“Lida, Crowe, follow me!”

nKuro gritted his teeth. “Let’s go and meet that legendary big pirate!”

n“No way, that’s a Golden Lion.”

nLeda’s face was strange and she shouted: “You are going to deal with him?!”

n“Well, can I stay and reorganize the Marines and civilians? I think they need me.”

nCrowe raised his hand.

nHe did not want to go at all.

n“Do you think I want to go?!”

nKuro glared at Crowe. “I don’t care. You have to follow me. I can’t be safe, and you want to be calm? Dream on!”

n“Besides, your combat power is enough. One more person and one more combat power.”

nWith that, Kuro stepped on the air and directly stepped out of the wall that had been shattered by the slash, turning into an afterimage and flying out.

nLeda sighed. “Crossing the sea… It’s so troublesome. I’ll be hungry again.”

nShe adjusted the snack backpack on her back and followed him with Geppō (Moonwalk).

nCrowe had no choice but to step into the air with Geppō (Moonwalk) and step towards the sea.

nGeppō (Moonwalk) is the most practical of the Six Moves. As long as you have enough stamina, no one can stop you from stepping from East Blue to Headquarters.

nBut basically no one would be so bored, and no one has so much stamina.

nKuro didn’t stop and sensed the location of the Golden Lion. He stepped on the air above the sea and went straight forward.

nAbove the East China Sea, there are several huge islands. The islands are connected together, forming a group of floating islands, and on the largest island, there is a palace.

nInside the palace, an old man with valiant golden hair, a rudder on his head, and a cigar in his mouth smiled.

n“Oh? The meteorite I controlled was destroyed?”

nHe could naturally sense the island under his control. Now that the size of the island is gone, it must have been destroyed.

n“I just saw a town and wanted to destroy it. I didn’t expect there to be a surprise. Is there a strong person?”

nThe man sitting on the throne revealed a sinister smile. “The strong masters of East Blue, it must be interesting to destroy them!”

nHe did not think that it could be destroyed by cannons. The size of the island is so large that ordinary artillery shells cannot do it. Moreover, the island that he threw down was destroyed in an instant.

nPuff, puff, puff, puff…

nA series of extremely strange fart-like footsteps sounded.

n“Master Shiki, three people were observed approaching.”

nThe person had a clown face that looked like it had been washed by white powder. He raised his hand and a projection appeared on the opposite wall. On the projection, it was the scene of Kuro and the other two gradually approaching.

nGolden Lion’s eyes widened and he said incredulously, “Hey, it can fly?!”

n**TIP**

n“It’s Geppō (Moonwalk)!”

nIndigo hit Golden Lion and said, “Master Shiki, it’s Marine.”

n“Marine? Marine…”

nShiki looked at the projected image. “Have we been discovered by Marines?”

n“Yes, but these Marines seem to want to come and find out.” Indigo laughed.

n“Hahahaha!”

nShiki laughed boldly. “Young people nowadays are so bold to come here. Hey, Indigo, when will the IQ be completed!”

n“Soon, Master Shiki.” Indigo smiled.

nShiki grinned and said, “Then let’s start with an appetizer. Let these young people remember the fear of Golden Lion!”

n“Twenty years, twenty years. Soon, the World Government, Marines… the top war and fear will come soon!!!”

nHe had spent 20 years for this IQ creature, and now he was about to succeed!

n“Roger, the sea where you were born is about to be destroyed by me. Well, it’s best to use it to commemorate you, although it’s twenty years late.”

n… .

n“Kuro, there is an island there, it is so big!”

nIn the sky, Leda jumped in the air with Geppō (Moonwalk). Soon, she pointed to a huge floating island in the sky and shouted in surprise.

n“It’s really big…”

nCrowe looked up at the sky and swallowed his saliva. It was more than big. In addition to the large and small islands, the large island in the center was actually surrounded by seawater, forming a floating sea!

n“Fruit ability users are really monsters!”

nKuro cursed and sped up.

nAokiji can freeze the sea surface to the extent that a person can walk for four or five days.

nNow, this old guy directly floated the seawater up.
