Chapter 74

Can This World Still Get Better?

The crashing island …

The people in the town subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the huge island that was gradually enveloping them. All of them were pale with fear.

The threat of death appeared in everyone’s mind.

“Help me!!!”

A resident screamed and ran out in a panic.

His actions caused the residents of the town to fall into chaos and disperse.

The Marines were also confused and fled out of town.

There is no way to stop such a thing!

“Hey, what a joke, what is that!”

Leda’s hands and feet were cold, and she subconsciously changed into a girl’s posture. However, this huge island was so huge that it could cover Germoro, which made her lose the courage to fight.

Even meteorites are not this big!

“Kuro!”

She subconsciously looked at Kuro and was about to cry.

Crowe also subconsciously looked at Kuro, and cold sweat poured from his forehead. No one can survive the fall of an island of this level.

“Mr. Kuro, I suggest we retreat with Geppō (Moonwalk). We can’t fight against such a natural disaster.”

Crowe couldn’t think of anything other than a Geppō (Moonwalk) retreat.

He couldn’t ask Kuro to cut open the meteorite.

Kuro can do this, but even if it is cut in half, with the size of this island, it will become two islands from one island, and the outcome will not change.

Kuro took a step forward and held the handle of the knife on his left waist with his right hand. Haki appeared in the entirety of Huazhou. Its density even began to emit tentacles, as if it was going to climb somewhere else.

He gritted his teeth and his expression was extremely ugly. “It’s useless no matter where we run. If we don’t cut it, we’re finished. You two, get out of the way.”

“Do you really want to cut it? But Mr. Kuro, even if you cut it, it’s useless.”

Crowe looked back at the island that was almost touching his face and swallowed hard.

It was so big. What could it do even if it was cut open?

ZANG!

Blade, unsheathed.

A huge black and gold slash flew out as his blade was unsheathed, knocking open Mayor Mendel’s house and slashing straight at the flying island.

Chi!

Bang!!!

The Soaring Slash cut open the island, and the moment it was cut open, the island seemed to have been cut by thousands of slashes and cracked in the air, gradually splitting into small pieces of gravel.

Like fireworks, they bloomed in the air.

Rustle!

Tiny gravel fell into the sea.

Those residents and Marines who were in a panic and some even chose to jump into the sea looked up at the meteorite that exploded in the air with their mouths open and eyes bulging.

F-What happened?

“Hey, this is too exaggerated!”

In the mayor’s residence, Leda jumped on the spot several times in excitement and stared at Kuro with wide eyes. “This level, you… How did you do it? That’s high-level Armament Haki!”

Advanced Armament Haki. Lida knew that Kuro would do it. With his Haki, he would definitely do it. But to be able to use Advanced Armament Haki to this extent, it is not just ‘can’ explain it.

Sure enough, hentai is hentai!

Crowe’s face was sweating. Just now he was sweating for the impact of the island, but now it seems that Kuro is more worthy of his sweat.

Although she knew that the gap between her and him was too big, the gap was too big.

He would accept it even if you cut an island. You can cut the island with a blade, but you can only cut the island with a flying slash. What is this!

“Hu…”

Kuro let out a long sigh of relief and put the [Hua Zhou] back into its sheath. He glanced at Leda. “Oh? You know about Advanced Armament Haki?”

Cutting open the island is actually nothing, it is no different from cutting a mountain, but to cut it into pieces, it is two different concepts.

Armament Haki, ‘Wrap’, ‘Hardening’, and more advanced techniques that can release Haki out of the body to attack the target and can even destroy it internally.

Kuro uses Advanced Armament Haki to attack and destroy the interior of the island with a single slash.

However, he did not look much better.

Kuro’s eyes flashed with a trace of red light, and his hair fluttered, making the mansion shake.

Kenbonshoku (Observation)!

Kuro’s perception tentacles looked straight in the direction of the island.

He wanted to see who did these things.

He has already come to the weakest place in East Blue, how can there be such a thing!

Kuro felt his entire body trembling and his hands and feet were cold. What was wrong with this world? Could it be better for people like them who yearned for safety?

How can he live safely? At the thought of this, tears flowed down his face.

If it was a random natural disaster, then forget it. But this is obviously not the first time, so it is not a natural disaster. Someone must have done it. Otherwise, how can an island drift to the East China Sea and then land?

Wait …

A drifting island?!

Kuro’s Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki was still in his perception, but he suddenly thought of something and was stunned.

There seems to be such a person in East Blue.

A certain golden-haired old idiot who escaped from Impel Down 20 years ago and there is still no news of him.

Observation Haki sensed a trace in the sky above East Blue. There was a lot of life aura there, and the aura was obviously a man, and it was very strong!

That feeling was as domineering as a lion.

It’s him!

“WDNMD!”

Kuro gulped. “How could I have forgotten about this!”

“What’s wrong?”

Leda was still watching the fireworks of the ‘island’ that landed. When she heard Kuro swear, she quickly turned her head.

What happened to him?

Was he also hungry and angry?

“Golden Lion…”

“Huh? Who?”

Kuro’s eyes were ferocious. “Golden Lion! This guy came to East Blue. F*ck!”

“Golden Lion?”

Crowe was puzzled. “I think I’ve heard it somewhere.”

“Gold … lion?”

Leda tilted her head. “Is it a golden lion? Is it delicious? I have never eaten golden lion meat and I don’t know the taste… Wait, you mean a golden lion?!”

Her voice suddenly rose an octave. “You mean, the legendary great pirate, Pirate Admiral ‘Golden Lion’?!”

“Golden Lion?”

Crowe’s pupils shrank. “The big pirate who disappeared twenty years ago?”

He remembered.

Crowe is thirty-three years old this year. He was thirteen years old twenty years ago. Naturally, he has seen the newspaper. He escaped from Impelton, the Impel Down city where no one has ever escaped. He is the legendary great pirate!

“The Big Pirate who fought with Pirate King is in East Blue?” Crowe swallowed hard.

Kuro’s face was gloomy.

“I shouldn’t be in East Blue. Why did I come to East Blue? Isn’t it good for me to go to the other Three Seas?”

He forgot that because it was too long ago, he lived for more than 20 years and could remember some big events or because he was thinking too much every day, so that he could perfectly avoid these things.

However, a pirate who has never appeared for 20 years and has no news about him must have gradually forgotten about him.

If he had not sensed it, he would have thought that it was a natural disaster.

“What should we do? Report to Headquarters?” Crowe panicked.

Is there such a terrifying pirate in East Blue?

How did they survive before?

“I want to… but it’s too late. That guy is rushing here.”

In his perception, the powerful man with the aura of a lion was coming this way.
