Chapter 177: Burning Bones and Strengthening Version

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

These three people were very familiar.

When Buck Arlo was in prison, he would think of them from time to time.

If not for them, he would have returned to Paradise long ago and lived a carefree life.

Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and glanced at the man in prison uniform and asked suspiciously, “Who is it?”

“It looks familiar…”

Leda finished licking her fingers and wiped them on Kuro’s clothes.

Crowe pushed his glasses with the palm of his hand and said, “Mr. Kuro, this person… Buck Arlo, is the pirate we met in the East China Sea and were discovered by Admiral Kizaru and he voluntarily surrendered.”

“Buck… Arlo?”

Kuro thought for a moment, and suddenly, his eyes focused and revealed a trace of anger. He said hatefully, “It’s you, it’s you who promoted me?!”

He remembered that it was this person who forced him to participate in this dangerous war!

“Shit, I changed…”

Buck Arlo was about to transform when Leda suddenly reached out and pressed against him.

Immediately, his body went limp and became powerless.

“Ah, I remember. The guy who can transform into rare animals.”

Leda held him down and said, “He’s really lucky. He was hit by Kuro’s attack, but he was still unharmed. How did he do it?”

Kuro pulled out Autumn Water and his Haki wrapped around the blade and swept it away. “Let’s see if you can continue to revive!”

“Wait, wait…”

Buck Arlo saw Kuro coming with a knife and said intermittently, “I have information, I…”

Chi!

His head was cut off by Kuro, and then he waved his blade and cut everywhere, blowing the head into powder.

Because it was too fast, his neck had not bled yet.

Chi!

Just as blood spurted out from the broken neck, Kuro slashed again, splitting the body vertically into two. At the same time, he slashed twice and turned it into ashes.

“Wow, so cruel.”

Leda retracted her hand and her body shrank. She looked curiously at Buck Arlo’s original position. “Hey, will he be resurrected?”

Kuro stared at the empty space with only a trace of human-shaped mark and said, “Last time, he was clearly cut into powder and he could run. It means that his ability has a similar effect to a substitute, but his main body should still be there. Although this time, he cut off his head first and will definitely not be resurrected, in the past, what if…”

Sizzle…

A trace of golden lightning appeared on Autumn Water’s blade.

“You two, stay away,” Kuro said.

There was no need for him to say anything. When Leda saw the lightning flash again, she had already run far away.

“That’s Haki…”

Crowe swallowed. “Can Haki do this?”

“The highest level embodiment of Armament Haki, the Country of Peace of New World is called ‘Sakura’. It is said that it can destroy objects from the inside.”

Leda thought for a moment and said, “When we were in the East China Sea, the Kuroche Broken Island used this move, but at that time, it hasn’t been able to materialize yet… It’s indeed a monster. Now it can break through to the materialization level visible to the naked eye.”

“Which one told you?”

Kuro glanced at Lida and said, “Don’t follow the crowd all the time. The ‘Sakura’ of the Country of Peace is just the local name of Armament Haki. It’s just that their country is too good at Armament Haki, so the name was replaced by Haki for a while. Just like the ‘Heart of Sky Island’ is the local name of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, they are very good at using Kenbonshoku (Observation).”

Hardening, entanglement, externalization, and internal destruction. As Armament Haki is cultivated and strengthened, the degree of application will also be enhanced.

These can all be used together, and if they are completely integrated, they will become the highest level embodiment of Kaido’s full-body Haki and Kuro’s current blade.

However, this was not a light burden for Kuro.

But just in case …

“One Blade Flow, Rock Collapse!”

The blade swung down and cut the humanoid mark.

BOOM!!!

The ground broke apart under this blade and turned into fine stone powder that fluttered in the air.

In front of him, a huge abyss dozens of meters long and more than ten meters wide appeared.

The airwaves that spread out shook Leda’s white hair.

“Ah, my hairstyle! Damn Kuro!”

Leda cried out in alarm.

The dust formed by the stone powder was cut open by Kuro and blown far away.

He put away his knife and looked at the huge gully in front of him. He bit his cigar and exhaled the smoke. “If you can still be resurrected, then I will accept it!”

This slash passed through the island and went straight to the bottom of the sea.

If he could still be resurrected, he, Kuro, would really accept it. Then, he would find an opportunity to shrink him into the sea and put him in the sky as a specimen.

“What are you doing, Kuro.”

Suddenly, Akainu’s voice came from ahead.

He happened to be standing at the end of the huge abyss, looking at Kuro with a serious expression.

“Ah… General Sakasugi, I just met a pirate and used a little too much force.”

Kuro put away his sword and said to Akainu.

“Pirate?”

Akainu looked at the bottomless abyss and was a little stunned. “This is Marin Vando. It’s not easy to repair it.”

With that, Akainu squatted down and reached his palm into the abyss. A large amount of magma burst out and gushed into the abyss.

Immediately, a large amount of heat rose from the ground.

“It’s hot.”

Lida shrank her feet and felt that the place where she stood was a little hot. She quickly retreated a distance.

As the magma gushed out, the abyss was gradually closed by the magma and gradually turned into a road of magma.

After doing all this, Akainu stood up. “When the magma burns out, this place will become an obsidian road.”

Oh boy …

At the side, Crowe’s forehead was sweating. At this time, Buck Arlo is either dead or dead.

His bones were crushed by Kuro and he was even melted into the magma by Akainu.

He didn’t know if he was lucky or unlucky to be attacked by these two monsters…

Akainu looked at Kuro and smiled. “However, you have done well. This is how you should deal with pirates. This way, pirates will be afraid and those ‘evil’ will disappear.”

No, I didn’t mean that. I was just venting my anger.

Kuro opened his mouth and looked at Akainu’s gratified gaze. For a moment, he could not speak.

“That Marine, did you solve it?” Akainu stepped on the road of lava and asked Kuro.

“Yes, I persuaded him to go back.” Kuro nodded.

“That’s good. Unless necessary, I don’t want to kill a colleague.”

Akainu nodded. “This old man will go first. Scuado has been disturbed. Next is the plan to surround the wall.”

The task of interfering with Scuado, which was personally formulated by Sengoku and carried out by Akainu, has been completed.

With his hatred for Pirate King Roger and Ace’s identity as Roger’s son, he distorted it and gave a guarantee to Scuado, which made the pirate agree.

“If the siege plan is launched, will Whitebeard be finished?”

Leda came over at this time. To be honest, she was a little afraid of Akainu. When she saw that serious face, she felt uncomfortable all over. Only when he left did Leda dare to approach.

As for Crowe …

She hid further than him.

He used to be a pirate.

“If that old guy really wants to escape, no one can stop him, but…”

Kuro looked at the port and sighed.

40 years ago, Lox was destroyed and 20 years ago, the Pirate King died. This great pirate, who has experienced two great eras and is now gradually reduced to dregs, is probably determined to come here.

“He has long pressed Bao in the new era. If he comes now, he will choose a perfect place for himself to exit. There is no better place for pirates to exit than Marine Headquarters in this world.”

“But it’s too high of a standard to take so many people to the grave with you. Pirates are pirates, and their dreams are getting bigger and bigger. My home is still here, how can I let you destroy it so easily?”

Kuro held the hilt with his left hand and walked towards the battlefield.

“Let’s go and bury that old guy.”
