Chapter 423: Too Many Solutions

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The golden half-moon slash swept past Crowe and whistled past him, hitting Bartolomeo heavily.

Bang!

With a loud sound, the slash stopped a little bit from Bartolomeo’s body and stayed there for a long time before scattering.

The slash was scattered, and Basil, Stork, and Fanny all looked surprised.

“Hey, are you kidding?” Leda’s eyes widened and she jumped out of the boat.

“It can actually defend against Kuro’s slash?”

She could see that the strength of the slash was not low. Even Haki might not be able to completely defend against it. Now, it was actually defended and broken.

It was scattered, not scattered. Leda could feel it.

Is the defense of this green-haired man so terrifying?

Bartolomeo was also shocked. The slash that almost reached the sky really frightened him. His body subconsciously took a few steps back, but the slash did not break his defense, which made him relieved.

“Ha ha ha ha, you are just so-so. You can’t break my barrier! Ha!”

He was relieved.

This blow allowed Bartolomeo to walk out of the shadow of his time in Roguetown.

“I will never forget the scene of Senior Luffy in Roguetown. I also know you, Luciru Kuro!”

He stretched out a hand, his index finger and middle finger overlapped and he pointed at Kuro and shouted, “You were also there during the War Of The Best. Those who blocked Senior Luffy are all unforgivable. All of you, go to hell!”

Sizzle…

Kuro descended from the sky and bit his cigar without saying a word. The Autumn Water Blade in his hand began to glow with golden electricity.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Kuro appeared in front of Bartolomeo and slashed down.

Bang!!!

A loud sound echoed in the air, causing the surroundings to tremble faintly.

The black blade hit Bartolomeo and did not move an inch.

However, this slash also squeezed Bartolomeo’s face and he took a lot of steps back, almost flying out.

“I already said it’s useless!”

He stood still and quickly crossed his hands, maintaining the gesture of folding his index and middle fingers.

He broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, “Stop fighting. My defense is invincible. It’s because of my invincibility that it’s called a barrier!”

“It can be pushed, but it can’t be destroyed?”

Kuro exhaled the smoke and said lightly.

Of course, Kuro knew about the Barrier Fruit.

It is said that it is a powerful fruit that can block Oden’s slash. Now it seems that what he said is true. The physical slash can’t do anything to it.

“But I’m not willing!”

Whoosh!

This time, Kuro appeared above Bartolomeo. His black blade was like light as it slashed down heavily.

BOOM!!!

Bartolomeo’s body moved down. In his vision, his transparent barrier would not be broken, but he could not stop the force. With one blow, the entire barrier moved down, lifting the surface formed by the roots and smashing him deep into the soil.

“I already said that this is useless!”

Bartolomeo sank deep into the ground, and more and more sweat appeared on his face. After all, the power emitted by this man was too great. He wanted to say something fierce, but in front of this power, he really could not say it.

This man… Why does he have such a powerful attack that even the barrier is pushed!

“Well…”

Kuro slashed Bartolomeo into the ground and his body naturally flew up. He stood upright in the air and looked down. “Physical attacks are indeed useless.”

These words delighted Bartolomeo.

He kept his hands in position and walked up step by step to the ground. He shouted to Kuro in the sky, “Since you know that it’s useless, surrender obediently. If you apologize to me, I can let you go. Otherwise, even if you can escape, your subordinates will definitely be killed by me!”

“He’s really arrogant…” Leda’s face fell and she said, “I feel it. That ‘Barrier’ is now a sphere. Is it so arrogant to become a turtle shell? Is there really no way to deal with him?”

“How can there be no way? There are too many ways to deal with an existence that only knows defense.”

Kuro sneered and looked at Bartolomeo. “The simplest way is that as long as I surround you here, you will starve to death in less than three days. At that time, how will you have the strength to maintain your barrier here?”

He could not break this barrier, but it did not mean that he would let Bartolomeo leave. If they surrounded him for three days, he would definitely be too hungry to have any strength.

These words made Bartolomeo’s face change.

“But this is too slow…”

Kuro continued, “There are too many ways to deal with you. Although that ‘turtle shell’ has no blind spots, you don’t seem to be strong.”

He reached out and grabbed the air. Immediately, the ground around Bartolomeo suddenly rose and pounced on the barrier like a wave and stuck to it, forming a semi-encirclement.

“The barrier can’t isolate the air. Otherwise, how can I hear you? At least I can trap you inside and make you gradually lose oxygen. This is the first point.”

“Second, there is a more intuitive way.”

Kuro raised his five fingers and the surrounding wall that wrapped around Bartolomeo’s barrier gradually rose up, lifting Bartolomeo into the sky.

“You say… I throw you into the sea, can your ability still be used? Or are you preparing to forcibly break my siege wall, but your barrier has a limit, breaking my siege wall…”

Kuro held Autumn Water and pointed at Bartolomeo, whose face was already pale. “Then prepare to be cut down by me. Believe me, I will be quick.”

“I…”

Bartolomeo was about to push the barrier to push away this inexplicable wall, but when he heard Kuro’s words, he maintained his hand gesture.

There is indeed a limit to his barrier. The area is only that big, and it can only be controlled that much. If he forcibly pushes open the wall, one side will definitely disappear. With this man’s sensitivity…

He would really be cut down.

“That’s why I said… It’s good to be your Acura in East Blue, but you have to stir up this muddy water. Pirates… Then you have to be a pirate in the sea!”

Kuro waved his arm and the surrounding wall rose with the frightened Bartolomeo and quickly moved towards the sea.

“No, don’t!” Bartolomeo shouted in horror.

However, he did not dare to let go of his hand and could only watch as he gradually fell into the sea.

Plop!

Like a stone sinking into a lake, Bartolomeo splashed on the surface of the sea and sank completely.

“Boss!!”

The subordinates of the Barto Club shouted and subconsciously ran towards the sea.

Boom!!

At this moment, a powerful murderous aura descended from the sky. Under the influence of the murderous aura, these pirates rolled their eyes and fell down trembling.

Kuro slowly put the knife back into the sheath and landed lightly on the ground. He bit the cigar and said, “Why did you provoke me for no reason… Arrest them all, Wilbur, they are yours.”
