Chapter 33
My heart is as clear as a mirror, everything I do is justice
‘Not Chloë?’
Impossible. Apart from him, who else could release that golden Flying Chop?
...“Whoever you are, no one can stop me!”
Crocodile turned into sand and his eyes were cold.
Unlike the last time when he was slashed to the point of doubting his life, Crocodile took the initiative to elementalize this time. He would not be unprepared like last time. In the end, he was cut until he did not even have time to react.
No one could stop him.
“Corrosion Wheel…”
His voice stopped abruptly because a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The one with Huazhou on his waist was not the Crowe that Crocodile had seen before. He looked a little stronger than Crowe and his black coat was open with the word ‘Justice’ printed on the back.
It’s Marine all right, but … who is this.
This man covered his face, making it impossible to see his appearance.
Seeing this person walk over step by step, he held the knife in front of him and slowly pulled out the blade, then rushed towards Crocodile.
Crocodile was furious in his heart. A small Marine who didn’t even dare to show his face dared to attack him.
As for Crowe, who was lying on the ground, it could be seen from the tens of thousands of people lying on the ground. Perhaps Crowe did it, but he fainted from exhaustion.
“I am in a bad mood now, boring Marine, die.”
Crocodile turned into sand and faced Kuro with one hand.
He wants to suck Kuro dry!
“Unseen God’s Sword of Slaughter: Flood Dragon.”
Crocodile’s hand touched the man, but he suddenly heard a slight sound and saw the man pull out the knife completely.
He drew his sword and slashed horizontally.
Kuro’s figure quickly passed by Crocodile and cut his sand body.
Chi!
Crocodile froze there and looked at the wound on his right chest in disbelief.
“You… how is that possible? Is that water?”
The knife will be covered with water?
There were no such traces before, so how did he do it?!
Crocodile, who was already injured, could no longer support himself and fell.
“How troublesome. Fortunately, I was prepared.”
Kuro sheathed his sword and heaved a sigh of relief.
Kuro would not underestimate a veteran Shichibukai like Crocodile. He could not underestimate him either. He would not be preconceived by his previous life and think that Crocodile was weak.
Moreover, he is indeed not weak. He is a veteran pirate who has challenged Whitebeard and his Kenbonshoku (Observation) is not weak. He has developed Logia better than anyone else and fought with Kuro at full strength. Anyway, he can fight for a few days and nights.
Kuro does not underestimate any pirate. The sea is too treacherous and no one can tell until the last moment.
Why is Kuro so cowardly… No, why is he so steady?
It’s all because he’s not strong enough!
Is it fun to be famous if you are not strong enough?
Yonkō (Four Emperors) is so awesome and looks so strong, but don’t some supernovas want to pull them down together?
This is not because of pure strength. There are always some people who want to become famous.
Fame is not everything.
Moreover, if a Destiny’s Child or someone with an extremely abnormal fruit ability comes out, Yonkō (Four Emperors) may also go into the water.
In Kuro’s opinion, Devil Fruit has the power to surpass miracles, especially Nature’s Incarnation. Except for Haki, which can touch their physical bodies, they can only restrain each other.
Kuro felt that he could win because his move could restrain Crocodile. The move of the ‘dragon’ is to control the water in the air to slash, and Crocodile’s sandification will not work when it touches water, it will reveal the physical body.
And he was already seriously injured. Kuro was sure it would only take one stab.
Even so, he didn’t really want to fight.
Unfortunately, in Kuro’s perception, Luffy doesn’t seem to be able to hold on anymore. In addition, this old crocodile seems to want to take the others away in one wave, which of course touches Kuro’s bottom line.
It’s your ability to play the conspiracy trajectory. Even if you really steal the country, it’s something that the government has to deal with and has nothing to do with his Marine.
Even if Alba completely disappeared, it had little to do with him.
But there are also countless civilians here, and Crocodile is a pirate.
Then it does matter.
So Kuro, strike.
In the sky, dark clouds gradually gathered and connected in the territory of Alabasta.
Tick-tock …
The rain gradually fell.
Kuro stretched out his hand and smiled. “Smoker, you have your own style.”
All of Alabasta’s territory is raining?
‘A miracle?’
What a joke.
Even if Luffy turned Crocodile into ashes, it would not have such a large range.
The reason for Alabasta’s rebellion is that the drought caused by Crocodile’s use of dancing powder has caused the people to be unable to live, and the only place that can rain is the Rainland outside the capital Albania. Coupled with the rumor that the king uses dancing powder, this makes people resentful.
It is not a problem of scarcity but of inequality.
Crocodile took advantage of this, and it was easy to crack it.
It was what Smoker was doing now.
A Big Dance Pink Cannon and a rain in Alabasta is enough to eliminate the resentment in people’s hearts.
What happened next was simple. Crocodile lost his ability to fight and was arrested by Tashigi, who led the team. The truth was revealed and Straw Hat, who was seriously injured, was let go by Tashigi.
Now, Tashigi lowered her head and her face was terribly gloomy. She bit her lip and looked at Crocodile who had fainted, her face full of unwillingness.
Justice has no strength to execute.
They couldn’t even get past Nico Robin, they could only watch Crocodile arrogantly go over, and that straw hat kid, he was also a pirate, but as a Marine, they had to show him the way.
“Mr. Kuro, what is justice like?”
Tashigi was a little confused.
‘You’re asking me about justice?’
Kuro looked at the people around him who were gradually waking up, and then looked at the obviously confused Tashigi and sighed. “Is that kind of thing very important?”
“Mr. Kuro?”
Tashigi did not quite understand.
Kuro said, “I’m not very good at that kind of idealistic theory, but you think that as long as you’re right, it’s justice. Isn’t there a saying that my heart is as clear as a mirror and everything I do is justice?”
“My actions and my heart are as clear as a mirror, everything I do is justice…” Tashigi murmured, and her eyes gradually brightened.
“I see. Thank you, Mr. Kuro. You are not only a powerful person, but also a very philosophical wise man!”
… .
“My heart is as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice?”
On the Battleship, Smoker also murmured this sentence and looked at Kuro, who was taking out his cigar.
“You know how to say such things? Your justice… is really not worthy of this kind of dignified words, Kuro. Also, buy it yourself!”
Smoker punched and Kuro dodged and lit his cigar. “What, my justice is not justice?”
He was very satisfied with his security strategy. There was nothing more in line with his state of mind than this. How could it not be justice?
