What Is Goro?
Kuro closed his eyes slightly and looked at the tragic scene in front of him. After pondering for a while, he said, “Hey, Witch, will these manic beasts do these things?”
“I don’t know, it’s my first time seeing…”
Fanny’s face was ugly as she fought back the urge to vomit. “Fruit monkeys are completely uninterested in meat. They have a gentle personality and they don’t actively attack people. They even help people and give fruits to hungry people. But why is this happening?!”
Those fruit monkeys are eating people!
“The smell of Lion Ape? Where is it now?” Kuro asked.
Crowe pointed in a certain direction. “Over there.”
Kuro’s eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and said, “It has a lot of breath. I want to see what it wants to do!”
From his perception, there was a large amount of life aura in that direction.
It was probably a town.
The Lion Ape is attacking the town?
Bang!
Kuro’s body floated up and created a shock wave in the air. He flew out at a speed that could not be seen clearly. The impact was like a strong wind, sweeping through the trees and grass.
Soon, Kuro saw the outline of a town ahead.
At this time, at the periphery of the town, a group of people piled debris into a defense line. Outside the defense line, there were already a few people lying on the ground. Further back, a group of wild beasts gathered and roared at the people inside the defense line.
In their group, there were cows, horses, and wolves. All of their eyes were red and they would trot from time to time, looking very manic.
Inside the defensive line, a group of civilians were holding pitchforks and wooden sticks. Some of them were holding torches, while others were holding guns with solemn faces.
“Roar…”
A wolf took a step forward.
“Don’t come over!”
An old man waved a torch and made the wolf that was moving forward take another step back, as if it was afraid of the fire.
“You animals!”
A burly man held a musket in his hand and looked at the group of corpses lying outside. His breathing gradually became heavy. He jumped out of the defensive line and pulled the trigger at a wild beast. “I will kill you and avenge my brother!”
“Don’t go out!”
The old man with the torch shouted subconsciously, but it was too late. With a gunshot, the strong man fired the musket. The accuracy of the lead bullet was too low and it only hit the foot of the wolf. However, in the next moment, a cry came from the sky.
“Shriek!!!”
A huge eagle swooped down from the sky and its iron-like claws penetrated the burly man’s head, leaving a few bloody holes.
The burly man stared at the eagle that flew back into the sky in shock. He wanted to raise his gun, but just as he raised his trembling hand, he fell down and stopped breathing.
“Shriek!!!”
The eagle circled in the air and let out a cry again. Immediately after, there were some dense dots in the sky. They were all birds of prey in the sky, eagles, falcons, vultures, and even crows. All of them swooped down towards the humans in the defensive line.
At the same time, the beasts on the ground rushed over.
They were very fast. Without waiting for the people in the defensive line to react, the big eagle in the lead pounced on the head of one of them. It opened its claws and a few bloody holes appeared on that person’s head.
“Shanos!”
The old man shouted in grief and indignation. He looked at the wild beasts that were pouncing on him and was in despair.
“Hurry up and escape, Grandpa Locke!” Someone pulled the old man and prepared to retreat.
“You can’t escape…”
The old man let go of his hand and let the torch fall to the ground. He covered his face and cried, “Karma, this is karma. If we don’t die, Goro will not be appeased!”
These words seemed to have a curse, making those who were about to escape freeze. However, at this moment, the bird of prey in the sky and the beast on the ground broke through the defense line. A wolf opened its mouth and was about to bite the old man.
They seem to have… given up resisting.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over.
A gentle breeze blew and the old man felt a strong wind blowing from behind him. Then, he smelled the smell of blood and his surroundings became quiet.
Beast roars and birds chirping, at this moment, silence.
“This, this…”
With a surprised and frightened voice, the old man did not feel the pain of being bitten by a beast. He opened his eyes and saw a pile of flesh pieces in front of him. The cut was smooth as if it had been cut by a fast knife.
Beast meat and bird meat were hoarded together, forming a meat field.
“Someone is in the sky!”
A man pointed to the sky and shouted.
The old man looked up and saw a person standing in the sky, slowly putting the knife in his hand into the sheath.
He flew in the sky?!
“That cape is Marine?!” Someone exclaimed.
Kuro slowly landed on the ground and looked at the group of shocked people and slowly said, “Goro, what is it?”
“Mr. Kuro!”
Behind him, Crowe had turned into a werewolf and ran here with Leda and Fanny.
“Wolf, werewolf?!”
The civilians turned pale and subconsciously raised their weapons, but soon, not only did their faces turn pale, but there was also a trace of fear, because after Crowe arrived, he took human form.
Devil Fruit is a common thing for Kuro and others, but for civilians, Devil Fruit can be regarded as a legend in some areas.
In a place like the Twin Horse Kingdom with the legend of the Witch, werewolves are also a kind of legend, the same as demons, the kind that can scare children to tears.
Now that werewolves can become human, for them, this is fear.
“What about that thing?”
Kuro asked.
Crowe sniffed and shook his head. “It disappeared. It was already gone when you got here.”
Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki can’t be sensed. Even if Kuro’s speed is enough, it seems that Kuro’s speed is not enough, and he can’t surpass the Lion Ape, causing Kuro to be unable to catch that thing.
This made him a little irritated.
He reached out and pressed his hand on the ground. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Tell me the location. Since I can’t catch the person, I will force it to show itself.”
He did not believe that he could not catch that ghost even if he turned the entire island over.
“Hey, you’d better hold something tightly. Otherwise, you may vomit later.” Kuro looked up at the crowd and said.
People looked at each other as if they had not recovered from the shock.
“Sir!”
Suddenly, an old man came out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, “Are you here to catch Goro? If possible, can you not kill him and bring him here? We want him to see something.”
“Grandpa Locke, Goro is a vengeful spirit, how can he be caught!”
“Yes, many of us have died. Besides, although this is a Marine, we may not be able to catch Goro. Let’s go first, we can’t stay in this country.”
“Shut up!”
The old man listened to the words of the civilians and roared with his veins showing, “It’s all our fault. If we were braver at that time, Goro would not be so angry!”
These words made Kuro freeze. He retracted his hand and stood up. He asked curiously, “So, what exactly is Goro?”
“Please come with me.”
The old man bowed to Kuro and walked into the town shakily.
This made Kuro a little speechless.
He looks like he wants to tell me a story.
Speaking of which, you guys are already dead, do you still want to tell me stories…
