1145 New Battle of Etwall

Shanks’ sword made Kuro seem to know him.

It was only a year ago or two ago. He had just transmigrated back and had a fight with Roger.

That guy’s knife feels like this, it’s incomparably domineering.

Shanks gave him the same feeling.

“Oh? You know my Captain? No, you were only two or three years old when the Captain died?” Shanks said.

In response, Kuro’s two words made Shanks’ eyes widen.

“God avoids,” Kuro said lightly.

“How do you know!” Shanks exclaimed.

When the Captain was arrested, he was already seriously ill and had not shown his combat power for a long time. At that time, Kuro should even be able to remember things, let alone know the Captain’s moves.

Karp or Sengoku?

Will the older generation of Marines talk about Roger’s deeds?

Even Garp couldn’t do it.

“Oh? No memory?”

Kuro showed a hint of a smile. “Your old captain’s knife attack more than twenty years ago didn’t feel good.”

Shanks was stunned. Then he remembered something and looked at Kuro in disbelief. “It’s you?! It’s impossible. How could you…”

Then, he calmed down and said with some realization, “Ability? No wonder Barrett attacked G-3 at that time. Before he got off the ship, he kept shouting that he wanted to find you and defeat you. If it weren’t for your knife, the Captain wouldn’t have found a terminal illness.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? My knife doesn’t carry germs and plagues. Your old Captain is sick himself. He just died early.” Kuro spoke mercilessly.

“Hey, don’t be so mean. Captain doesn’t allow you to insult him.” Shanks’s face turned cold.

Kuro bared his teeth and said, “I’m a Marine, it’s only right to scold pirates.”

Shanks tightened his grip on Griffin. “Then it’s only natural for pirates to fight Marines.”

“Yes… Speaking of which, among the Yonkō (Four Emperors), I don’t seem to have fought with you before.”

Kuro slowly turned Autumn Water around and held it even harder. “I’m curious, how are you going to fight me without your ability?”

Relying purely on Haki?

Even if Shanks can replicate a move like Roger’s ‘God Evade’, so what? No matter how strong Haoshoku’s entanglement is, it’s only entanglement. No ability means that it can’t be combined with ability, and there is no full power form.

One less form is a very big drawback.

Mihawk is the same. He is the world’s number one swordsman, not the world’s number one powerhouse. There is a difference between the two.

The number one swordsman in the world was praising his swordsmanship and did not represent his true combat power.

When they competed back then, they were also competing for the title of the world’s number one swordsman, not to see who was stronger.

As for who was stronger, based on the combat power of Kaido and Lingling, Mihawk was definitely not his opponent.

Shanks was the same. Kuro was actually a little suspicious of Shanks’ title of ‘Yonkō (Four Emperors).

It hasn’t been long since he became Yonkō (Four Emperors). Including these four years, it has only been ten years.

Although it was longer than Titch, Titch Kuro had tested it himself and almost capsized.

That combat power, Tiki is qualified to become Yonkō (Four Emperors), and as long as he lurks long enough, in a few years or ten years, he will be like Kaido and Lingling, steadily becoming Yonkō (Four Emperors), whether in strength or power.

There are two fruits, and I can plunder other metahumans.

But Shanks, he had to put a question mark.

He did not show his strength and even lost an arm in East Blue a few years ago. Only he could make such a big joke.

“Speaking of which, I’m curious…”

Kuro raised Autumn Water horizontally, and the light from the blade reflected in his eyes. As he spoke, his figure suddenly flashed. It seemed that there was no change, but it made Shanks directly wave Griffin, and the sword blocked in front of him, directly creating a spark.

Clang!!

A black light blocked the path of Griffin, and the blade was stuck on the blade. Kuro himself appeared there, and Kuro behind him gradually dissipated like a ripple.

Shadow Cut!

“You lost an arm in East Blue back then, do you regret it? How can you say such an embarrassing thing out loud?”

Kuro held Autumn Water in one hand, and the huge force pressed Shanks back a step. Just that step allowed him to find a gap. He quickly lowered his body and Autumn Water slid down along Griffin’s blade, making a sharp sound. Then he stabbed directly at Shanks’s abdomen.

Shanks leaned to the side and withdrew his Western sword like lightning, directly standing in front of his abdomen.

Dang!

The blade caught the Autumn Water Blade again.

“East Blue? Who would have thought of that? It’s just a hand. Without a hand, I’m still Shanks, ‘Red Hair’ Shanks.”

Shanks’s right arm swung forward violently, pushing away Kuro’s Autumn Water, and his rapier pulled a Z-shaped trajectory in the air and rushed towards Kuro’s head.

Kuro didn’t even look at it, his body didn’t move, he just turned his head to the side and avoided this tricky stab, he smiled and said: “Then you have to work hard, broken arm, red hair, this feature, there is a person in the new era like you, he also has Haoshoku, but he is an ability user, in case he has that talent, your position will be replaced.”

“Just like you replaced Shiki? Kuro.”

Shanks took a few steps back and pulled away from Kuro. Suddenly, he thought of something and shook his head with a smile. “I believe in Captain, and I also admire Captain. I claim to be Captain’s successor, just as Captain gave me the hat. And you replaced Shiki, that Golden Lion. Is this the new Battle of Atwall?”

“Ha!”

Kuro seemed to have heard a funny joke and bared his teeth in joy. “You think you’re worthy? I’m different from you. You’ve never surpassed your dead Captain. As for me, it was a real sword and a real gun that killed that golden-haired old man on the rudder. Atwall? Do you think you can win with a different metaphor? Storm…”

Kuro pointed towards the sky, and the cloudy sky, which was triggered by Shanks’s strong Haoshoku, directly opened a hole under this finger, revealing the clearer sky above.

As the hole opened, the trajectory of the dark clouds gradually dissipated. In an instant, with the hole as the center, a large area scattered.

“I won’t allow it, the sky can’t even rain! What storm!”

Kuro’s eyes were ferocious. “I have never made a mistake like Shiki. I am not as arrogant as him. In contrast, you are much more arrogant. You are a self-proclaimed savior and guide who wants to change the world. If the world was so easy to change, I would have started it more than ten years ago. It is not your turn to be a pirate here. Stop being so proud!”
