Pirates: The Steady and Responsible Person in the Straw Hats

twin capes coast

'bang'

A figure hit the rock, creating a crack-shaped hole in the stone wall.

The messy figure slipped down and knelt on the ground, panting heavily. A few drops of blood from his forehead dripped down the corners of his eyebrows and onto the ground.

Yuri wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Kurokas who was panting slightly in the distance, "Old man, can you tell me who invented the 'Seeing, Hearing and Color' practice method?"

"Why, kid, you look very resentful."

"Nonsense, you can only train by being beaten, as long as it's something normal people don't like."

Kurokas smiled and said, "Stop rambling. If you want to quickly feel domineering and even control yourself, just be obedient and let me love you hard."

"Come on, come on, as long as you can't kill me." Although Yuri's whole body hurt like crazy, in order to become stronger, he still had to close his eyes, calm down, and began to carefully sense the airflow around him.

When Kurokas saw this, he raised his mouth and rushed over. He raised his 'armed' fist and struck at Yuri who closed his eyes again.

However, Yuri, who had clearly closed his eyes, seemed to have guessed the trajectory of his attack. He swayed and dodged the incoming attack in an instant.

Kurokas wrapped his fist around Armed Haki and punched the air. His body passed Yuri and directly smashed a hole into the rock wall.

'collapse'

Kurokas's eyes widened. This was the first time his attack failed in the few hours he had beaten the brat.

"Oh? Did you avoid it? Then let me see, little ghost head, whether you relied on luck or really mastered the 'sense of knowledge'?" Kurokas turned around and stared with interest, still closed. Eyes of Yuri.

As he spoke, the figure ejected again, and the thighs condensed with colorless weapons swept directly towards Yuri, who was standing quietly.

Yuri felt that the surroundings were very quiet at this time, as if he was in a completely claustrophobic dark space. The bottom of his feet seemed to be stepping on water that could reflect human figures. Circles of ripples started from the soles of his feet and slowly spread to all sides.

This feeling is the same as before.

No, it's even quieter than before, like space is absolutely still.

Where will Kurokas attack from at this time?

Um? Should I avoid this feeling with my upper body?

Yuri completely gave up using his consciousness to control his body, and instead let his body's conscious instinct to avoid the incoming 'wind'.

Kurokas' thigh that quickly swept over fell completely in vain. Looking at Yuri, who was expressionless and leaned back to avoid the attack, his eyes flashed.

The leg that was sweeping past suddenly stopped and fell straight down.

boom

The earth and rocks cracked.

Seeing that his attack failed again, Kurokas had to believe that this kid had really mastered the 'sensation color'.

How long has it been!

It’s only been a few hours, how could anyone be so fast!

However, he didn't know that Yuri had actually used the color of seeing and hearing before, but it sometimes worked well and sometimes not.

But even knowing it is shocking enough. After all, if you want to master the preliminary Haki, you can't do it overnight. You have to go through many cruel battles between life and death before you have a chance to awaken.

This little devil seems to have gone through a lot of hardships.

Kurokas didn't think too much and rushed forward again. This time he used a little more of his 'knowledge color'. After all, Yuri was enough for him to use another kind of domineering force.

Sweeps, straight punches, uppercuts, downward slashes, and even throwing out a pile of huge rocks were all avoided by Yuri easily or hastily.

"What an incredible young man, then try my move again." Kurokas decided to stop the trial after using up this move.

After all, I am getting older, and my old bones will not be able to bear it if I continue to beat myself up.

I saw Kurokas's legs slightly bent, one in front of the other, his right fist hanging on the side of his waist, a force different from the colorless weapon before, but wrapped around the entire forearm, dyeing the entire forearm dark. color.

Armed Color - Hardened.

Yuri frowned with his eyes closed. He felt that there was a terrifying momentum rising in front of him, as if he would die if he didn't escape in the next moment.

Maybe death is not that easy, but serious injury is certain.

'boom'

The floor cracked, and Kurokas' figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Yuri. His hardened right arm had been blown out in half, and a biting wind blew Yuri's coat and hair flying.

At this time, Yuri was a little unable to react, because the opponent's speed was so fast that he could predict it.

As soon as he felt the roar of the wind, the attack was already close at hand. Yuri only had time to turn his body slightly to one side to avoid the attack in the center, but was hit by the impact from the periphery.

huh~

Yuri's body was directly knocked away, and he flew straight out of the shore with a whistling sound. After rubbing along the sea surface for dozens of meters, he sank into the sea with a gurgling sound.

……

The air quieted down.

Kurokas stared blankly at Yuri who was blown away. Although he realized that he was too impulsive just now, so he moved the attack away a little early, but Yuri still touched the shock wave and was directly knocked away.

"Oops! This kid can't just die like this..." Kurokas saw where Yuri sank in front of him, even the blisters were gone. His face changed with fright, and he rushed forward and plunged into the sea. .

After dragging Yuri, who was unconscious and pale, back to the shore, he felt that his chest was still rising and falling, and understood that the kid was still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh...fortunately, this kid's physical fitness is strong enough."

...

That night.

Yuri opened his eyes slightly and looked blankly at the dark sky, dotted with stars, and a bright moonlight hanging high in the sky.

"I'm still alive." Feeling the temperature of his body, Yuri knew that he had not been beaten to death by the real Kurokas.

"Wake up, little devil."

"Old man..." Yuri supported his upper body, which was still a little painful, and looked at Kurokas who was sitting cross-legged in front of the campfire.

The other party was swinging a huge piece of meat that was being roasted sizzling and exuding the aroma of meat.

"Gollum..."

It smells so good, so hungry...

"Are you hungry?" Kurokas noticed something strange about him and handed him a piece of cooked thigh meat with a kind smile.

"Thank you."

"I'm starting, ah woo."

Yuri devoured the meat in big mouthfuls. At this moment, he only felt that his body was extremely empty, as if he had been hungry for three days, and he chewed the meat with a ferocious expression.

"Boy, can you tell me your origin?" Kurokas looked at the bonfire in front of him calmly. The warm light of the fire dissipated the coldness caused by the late night.

"I, ah, I am a villager on a small island in the East China Sea. I am an orphan. I have worked as a waiter and as the captain of the security team."

"Oh? I thought you were the son of a prince or noble. After all, your talent is extraordinary."

"Haha, right, I think I'm a genius too," Yuri boasted, throwing away the remaining thigh bone and looking at the food that was still being prepared.

"This is mine. If you want to eat it, go get it yourself." Kurokas showed no mercy at all and decisively declared his sovereignty over the food in front of him that was several times larger than the piece of meat before.

"Stingy."

"You brat, don't forget that the piece you ate just now is also mine."

"Then I'll spit it out and give it back to you," Yuri said, about to pick his throat.

"..." Kurokas didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Old man, I should have mastered the knowledge of sex, right?" Yuri crossed his legs and looked at the other person expectantly.

"Well, I'm still surprised when I think about it now. I didn't expect you to be familiar with its use in a few hours." Kurokas said with admiration on his face. He really underestimated this kid.

"Haha, it's actually not a few hours. I've been in this state before, but I just couldn't grasp it..."

"Oh?"

"Well, it's a long story. Is there still meat? I'll tell you slowly..."

As Yuri spoke, he couldn't help but think of his first prediction, which was to avoid a certain 'idiot''s tiger attack, and his heart was filled with sadness.

Sure enough, people are forced out.

"Well, take it... No, why should I give it to you!"

"Hahahaha, don't be so stingy."
