BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77
“Strange, aren’t they coming?”
Kuro had been holding the hilt of his sword since just now, thinking that Golden Lion would come over when he sensed him, but it seems… nothing happened.
“Strange, but come over, where are they, Indigo.”
Similarly, in the palace of the Central Island, Golden Lion is waiting there. Some of the pirates in front of the palace who were invited by him are already ready, but those Marines who can use Geppō (Moonwalk) do not seem to show any signs of coming over.
Puff, puff, puff, puff…
“So noisy!” Golden Lion roared to the side.
Indigo walked up to Golden Lion and said, “Boss Shiki, we can’t observe it once it’s on the island. Maybe it landed on some island.”
“Strange, since they can fly, they should come to the palace. Don’t they want to know who is here?”
Golden Lion touched his chin with a strange expression. “I’m Golden Lion Shiki. If they don’t come, how can I make them feel fear?”
“Maybe he landed on an island and was entangled by the dire beasts on the island.”
Indigo smiled and said, “Boss Shiki, let Marine experience the power of S.I.Q.”
Golden Lion sneered. “That’s a pity. It’s a pity that they can’t see me.”
… .
On the island, Kuro was still waiting.
Logically speaking, Golden Lion should have come. Three unfamiliar auras have inexplicably intruded on the island. Can’t his Kenbonshoku (Observation) sense them?
Does it really not know Haki?
Kuro shook his head and pushed the stupid idea out of his mind.
How is that possible?
On the island they were on, dire beasts were constantly attracted by the bloody smell of the beast that Crowe had just killed and appeared one by one.
“Speed Shave Tiger Claw!”
Crowe dismembered a rabbit-shaped dire beast and took a few breaths. There were already several dire beast corpses around him.
If he kept using this move, his stamina would not last long.
He looked enviously at Lida on the other side. The other party was quite satisfied. A dire beast pounced at her, but she easily dodged it and brushed past the dire beast with one hand. The dire beast fell to the ground as if it had been struck by lightning and stopped moving.
“What are you thinking, Kuro?”
Leda asked Kuro.
He did not move much just now and stood there like a statue.
Kuro took out a cigar from his arms, lit it, and blew out smoke. He said, “Lida, why do you think Golden Lion won’t come?”
Leda paused. “Why did he come here?”
“Because I won’t go there. There are a lot of auras there, including people and beasts. As the enemy’s nest, if we go there, wouldn’t we be stepping into a trap? Only when he comes will we not be so passive.”
He had already entered the enemy’s nest, and he was not stupid.
Leda nodded. “I understand what you’re saying, but why did he come over? He’s a Golden Lion.”
“Does he need a reason to come here?” Kuro asked.
“Don’t you need it?”
“Do you need it?”
“Don’t you need it?”
“Need… Forget it, if he doesn’t come, then I will start from here.”
Kuro originally thought that if the Golden Lion came alone, he would be alone, and there are three of them here, especially Leda, who has a slight BUG fruit ability. As long as he touches the Golden Lion, he won’t lose his combat power, but his energy will definitely be reduced.
If the other party decreases by one point, then Kuro will become stronger.
‘What?’
One-on-one?
Whoever likes to fight one-on-one will go.
But if Golden Lion is not moving now, then Kuro has another plan.
In his previous life, before fighting a Boss, he needed to clear the monsters first.
There are too many monsters here. In any case, in order to prevent being besieged, the ‘monsters’ need to be cleared first.
Kuro gripped the hilt of his knife and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The air in the surrounding area seemed to become heavy.
“Ao!!!”
When Crowe saw a lion dire beast running out of the jungle, he howled and fled with his tail between his legs.
It is terrified.
“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just…”
Crowe curled his lips and looked down at his trembling legs and gritted his teeth. “It’s just killing intent!”
Shua!
A mad bee appeared behind Kuro. Kuro didn’t even look at it, his left thumb gently opened the handle of the knife, and with a flash of cold light, the mad bee was cut in half.
“One Blade Flow.Crush.”
WHOOSH!!!
A wave of air rose from the direction of Kuro’s blade, stirring the grass and the jungle.
In Leda’s perception, the life aura in that direction instantly weakened.
In the direction where the saber was moving, the dire beasts that were looking for food, the dire beasts that were fighting, and the dire beasts that were roaring at each other, at this moment, their eyes turned white and they collapsed one by one.
Those more powerful giant beasts ran around in fear at the moment when the murderous aura spread, but they all fell after taking two steps.
The direction of Kuro’s blade was silent.
There were no more sporadic roars.
“Lida, Crowe, stand behind me.”
Kuro turned around and changed direction again.
There was no need for him to speak. The two of them had already obediently walked behind him.
Leda wiped the sweat from her face. No matter when she looked again, this murderous aura was still terrifying.
Even if it did not affect them, the killing intent that filled their bodies was so dense that it was almost like juice.
Kuro turned his wrist and waved in another direction.
“One Blade Flow…”
… .
On the other side of the island, it is connected to the floating sea. There are several Pirate Ships parked at a natural port and there is a small town on the land ahead.
There were no ordinary people in the town, only pirates.
Or rather, it was Golden Lion who invited all the big pirate groups.
They were a few of them, stationed on this island, waiting for the legendary Great Pirate, Lord Golden Lion to give orders.
“I heard that the operation is about to take place. Dr. Indigo has declared that the S.I.Q. production reserve is almost complete. In a few days, we will declare war on the World Government and Marine.”
In one of the buildings in town, several captains were talking together.
“As expected of Lord Shiki, the legendary pirate. He does things differently from others. He wants to destroy East Blue.” A captain took a sip of wine and sighed.
“Hahaha, we will also participate in it and we are also excited! The hateful World Government and the hateful Marine, we will show them!”
“To Lord Shiki, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
A captain wearing a triangular hat had just raised his glass when he suddenly trembled all over, his eyes bulged, cold sweat flowed, and his body was shaking involuntarily.
He was not the only one. The other captains looked similar to him. Some of them were weak and had already fallen down.
“This is…”
The triangular-hatted captain was about to stand up when his eyes rolled up. A strong sense of fear and suffocation surged in his heart, making him unable to breathe for a moment, and the wine glass in his hand fell with his body.
Click.
Kuro put away his knife and used Kenbonshoku (Observation) to perceive the entire floating island group.
“You still don’t come over? Are you too arrogant, or you can’t find it at all? If it’s the latter…
Kuro’s eyes were ferocious. “Then you are really old!”
