A Man Like You Can’t Hide
“Silent Step!”
Crowe kicked his feet on the ground a few times and disappeared.
Tashigi felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously turned around to block the knife.
Dang!
The claws of his five fingers were placed on Tashigi’s blade, causing a spark.
“Famous blade…”
Kuro looked enviously at the knife in Tashigi’s hand.
Famous Saber [Flash Rain] belongs to [Fast Saber].
[Fast Blade] does not belong to the 83 Blade Blades of the Grand Line, but it is still a [Famous Blade].
However, Kuro was not interested. He either did not want it or he wanted one of the 83 swords.
Otherwise, Luffy would not have reached Roguetown yet. The weapons shop had [Third Generation Ghost Hunter] and [Snow Walk]. However, the two swords only belonged to the ranks of [Famous Swords], so Kuro was not interested.
Although the famous sword has been used by a good swordsman for a long time and will sooner or later be promoted to one of the 83 swords, there is no need to spend so much effort on Kuro.
Isn’t it good to be a freeloader?
“That move…”
Smoker’s focus was on Crowe. He didn’t think that he was strong when he first saw him.
He did not have a good impression of Shichibukai. He did not believe Hawkeye’s words. He only believed what he saw with his own eyes.
Although Crowe gave people the feeling that he was hiding his strength, he was not very strong.
But this move surprised him a little.
“It’s like ‘Shave’. It’s a little troublesome for Tashigi.”
Smoker’s heart sank, but he was a little suspicious. “Is this kind of person really forced to join the Pirates?”
“He has a heart that yearns for justice. Isn’t that enough?”
Kuro chuckled. “Worried that your subordinates will lose? It’s not a big problem. After all, Crowe is the strongest person in our group of Marines!”
“No, if it’s only to this extent, Tashigi will win.” Smoker shook his head and said.
Tashigi barely blocked Crowe’s attack. She took a step back, but her upper body leaned forward, and the blade cut up Crowe’s claw blade and cut his throat.
The other party is a man recognized by the number one swordsman in the world, so there will be no problem if I go all out!
The cold blade light came very quickly. Crowe’s pupils shrank and he subconsciously squatted down. Tashigi turned her wrist and turned it into a chop and chopped down heavily.
Bang!
Crowe’s body fell heavily in the distance. He rolled over and got up in a sorry state.
His meticulous hair was a little messy and there was a wound on his cheek.
If he had not dodged quickly just now, that knife would have killed him.
He almost… died.
“I am angry, Marine!”
Crowe’s pupils almost turned into vertical pupils and his voice was as cold as ice, making the Marines who were watching the battle feel cold.
“Are you serious, Mr. Crowe, let me see your Kendo!”
Tashigi was even more excited. She felt that Mr. Crowe would get serious.
Crowe’s hands hung down as if he had no strength and he swayed like a pendulum.
Killing intent was spreading.
“Spoon!”
His figure disappeared.
The killing intent was completely gone.
Chi!
Five deep marks were drawn on a Marine building.
Tashigi was still looking forward to it when she saw the surrounding buildings crack into several gullies. Then, the ground in front of her suddenly cracked into five marks and went straight to her side.
“Tashigi, lower your head!”
“Yes, Colonel Smoker!”
Instinctively, Tashigi lowered her head.
A cold light flashed across Tashigi’s head and a wisp of hair fell and was cut into pieces.
Dang!
The ten steel hands collided with the claws, revealing Crowe’s figure.
“You…”
Crowe was surprised to see the claw blade lingering in a cloud of smoke, and above the smoke was Smoker’s upper body.
Bang!
Smoker punched Crowe and grabbed his head and pressed it to the ground. “You don’t have the same name at all. You are ‘Hundred Strategies’ Crowe. I didn’t expect you to still be alive. How dare you sneak into the Marine Corps. You have guts!”
“Mr. K-Kuro,” Crowe struggled.
“How dare you call Kuro. That idiot was deceived by you.”
Smoker said coldly, “After all, you have the title ‘Hundred Strategies’. At first, even I didn’t think of it, but your strength is not worthy of Hawkeye’s praise. Humph, I don’t know where the rumor came from.”
“Hey, you should let go.”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Mixed with a strong wind.
Leda transformed into a girl and kicked horizontally, but her leg pierced through Smoker’s body.
“Nature?”
Leda looked surprised.
“Ability user?”
The ten hands in Smoker’s hand shot out. Leda turned sideways and grabbed the ten hands with one hand, but coincidentally, her hand grabbed the front end of the ten hands.
“I can’t use my strength. Is it a Se-Seastone?”
Leda almost fell to her knees.
“Another one. So it’s an accomplice.”
Smoker raised his hands and smoke surged around his body as he gradually turned into elements. He snorted and said, “I can catch you, Darsaki!”
“Yes!”
At this moment, Tashigi came back to her senses, turned her blade and slashed at Leda.
Whoosh!
Dang!
A golden slash accurately hit Tashigi’s knife, and the huge force caused her knife to fall out of her hand in an instant. Felicitous Rain flipped a few times in the air and stabbed steadily into the ground.
“Flying Slash?!” Tashigi was shocked.
“That’s enough, give me some face.”
At some point, Kuro appeared beside Smoker and grabbed his shoulder. He deliberately said loudly, “Let’s stop here and find a place to have a drink.”
Smoker looked shocked. He glanced at Kuro and put away his ten hands. In front of the Marines, he was pulled away by Kuro.
It was not that he wanted to let it go, but when he was elementalizing, he was caught by Kuro.
“Haki, Flying Chop.”
Smoker’s eyes were solemn. “Are you hiding so deep?”
Kuro scratched his head and looked straight at Smoker. “Don’t be so serious. Let’s find a place to drink.”
Smoker looked at him for a long time and nodded. “Okay.”
“Hey, you two come here too.”
Kuro called out to Leda and Crowe.
… .
A restaurant in Roguetown.
Everyone gathered around the dining table. Leda wolfed down her food while Crowe cleaned his glasses. Tashigi watched them warily with her knife.
“Luciru Kuro.”
Smoker took a deep look at the man who had just taken another cigar from him and was smoking. “Hiding in Marine for ten years, what do you want?”
“What are you saying? I am not a bad person. I just want to live a peaceful life. Although it may be difficult for you to understand, this is indeed my wish.”
“No, I understand.”
Smoker looked at him and said, “This kind of thinking, there is an old guy who also has it, a model of working but not working. The man Hawkeye is talking about is you, Kuro.”
Kuro nodded helplessly. “I didn’t want to fight, but Shichibukai is too willful.”
“Sure enough, Mr. Kuro is the one who can make the world’s number one swordsman.”
Tashigi said excitedly, “The name must be wrong. Don’t worry, Mr. Kuro, I will clear your name!”
Crowe glanced gratefully at Tashigi, and the trace of resentment that had been entangled by this natural dork dissipated without a trace.
Good man!
Kuro’s mouth twitched. Did his slash just now be too light?
“In short, please keep it a secret for me. I don’t want to be targeted by the higher-ups. It’s too troublesome.”
“What a pity, Mr. Kuro!”
Tashigi retorted, “Those are useless. A man like you, no matter where you are, is like a firefly in the dark, so bright and outstanding!”
Sure enough, that slash was really light.
Smoker exhaled a cloud of smoke. “I’m not interested in what kind of justice you maintain. That’s your choice. Just remember your Marine duties.”
He glanced at Crowe and said, “It’s not unheard of for a pirate to join the Marine, let alone a ‘dead man’.”
“Right, that’s it. You are still very reasonable, Smoker.”
Kuro laughed and said, “Let’s go, let’s go. It’s my first day in Roguetown and I haven’t seen anything yet. By the way, this meal is on you.”
Smoker opened a bottle of rum and ignored Kuro’s departure. He was still thinking about something.
A Great Swordsman praised by Hawkeye and a good Marine. In any case, Marine has a strong enough combat power to join.
In this world, there are many strong people with eccentricities.
In his opinion, Kuro was the kind of strong person with eccentricities.
“Humph, you want to be safe? You are right, that kind of man can’t be hidden.”
Smoker smiled. “Bill.”
“Colonel Smoker, 300,000 Berries.”
The boss walked over with a smile.
“?”
Smoker glanced at the plates stacked high on the dining table.
“That little girl… Hey, Kuro!”
Smoker roared outside the door.
Kuro had slipped away long ago.
It’s not easy to raise a foodie.
