Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was so serious in the conversation that I forgot about you, Colonel Smoker."

Kuro scratched his head embarrassedly.

"asshole!"

"White blast!"

Smoker's entire body transformed into an element, turning into a puff of smoke and attacking Kuro.

"Hey, Ryan, open your eyes and watch carefully. I'll show you the power of Armament Haki!"

After saying this, Kuro hardened his armament Haki in both hands and pounced towards the thick smoke, while at the same time locking onto Smoker's stomach with his observation Haki.

"found it!"

One Punch, Vomiting Blood

Kuro swung his punch hard, hitting Smoker's body directly, making him hunch over like a shrimp.

"Cough"

Smoker immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lying on the ground, his face full of pain.

"Hey, I see. Without Ryan, a natural ability user, once he transforms into an element, we can only use armament color to deal with him."

"Of course, attributes that counteract each other are also possible. For example, when you fight Crocodile, the sand crocodile from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, if your hands are covered with water, you can still catch him."

"However, the Sand Crocodile's ability will absorb water, so if you are not strong enough, even if you are soaked, you will not be able to hit it. Instead, you will be drained of water and turned into a mummy."

After the fight, Kuro ignored Smoker who was lying on the ground and continued teaching Ryan.

After all, Kuro didn't want to kill him at the beginning. Although Smoker was a navy, he could clearly distinguish between good and evil.

The G5 branch he later led was even more of a weird one in the Navy.

They are more like pirates than the navy. They do not follow the orders of the navy headquarters and they also do some very bad things, killing the pirates who commit crimes.

Overall it's a good navy that really protects civilians.

"I understand, Captain. I will work hard to train in the future. Please train me twice as hard. I will try to master the Armament Haki as soon as possible!"

After seeing that the nature-type ability user couldn't be harmed even with his full-strength attack, and was knocked down by Kuro with just one punch using the Armament Haki.

Ryan's upward heart began to become restless again.

He hurriedly expressed his opinion to Kuro.

"Hahaha, work hard, Ryan. Once you master the armament color, I will give you a surprise."

Kuro said mysteriously

"Yes! Captain! I will try my best!"

"Um, can I ask what the surprise is?"

"No."

"Oh."

Kuro looked at Ryan who wanted to continue to inquire but ignored him.

Walked towards the prone Smoker.

"Bai Man!"

As soon as Kuro approached, Smoker turned his arm into smoke and spun towards Kuro.

Kuro ignored him and flashed above Smoker's head with a step in the air.

I grabbed his head with my right hand and pressed him to the ground with great force!

boom!

The ground just broke apart.

"You can't beat me, Smoker."

"But I am very curious. The old man Zefa is famous for his domineering nature. He is known as the Iron-Fisted Zefa."

"How come you, as a disciple, haven't learned anything at all?"

"Eh? Did you faint?"

After asking, Kuro realized that Smoker had fainted.

"Well, stop standing there watching, Chloe."

"Come out."

Kuro said as Kuro walked out in the alley.

"Just as I thought, this guy is no match for you, Captain."

Chloe adjusts his glasses

"As a natural ability user, Smoker's strength is not weak, but he relies too much on the fruit."

"Remember that in this world, only your own strength is worth relying on. Other than that, whether it's weapons or fruit abilities, they are just auxiliary."

After Kuro finished speaking, Ryan and Kuro said they understood.

"Well, let's go now, before the commotion gets too big and there's no trouble for the navy to round up us."

After saying that, he took Ryan and Clo and left.

All that was left was rubble on the ground and Smoker lying among the broken bodies.

"Captain, I have asked Zang Gao to find the purchasing crew. Once they are all there, they will come back to the ship and wait for us to return."

"So we can just go directly to the port and board the ship."

"Not bad, Clo, you have arranged everything very well."

After Kuro finished praising him, Kuro just adjusted his glasses and smiled.

Soon the three of them walked to the shore where the ship was docked and looked at the people waiting on the black ship.

Kuro waved.

Then we got on the boat.

"Captain, are you all right?"

"Captain, have you met that mad dog in the navy?"

After getting on the boat, a group of crew members came up and asked Kuro questions in a flurry.

"Navy mad dog? Who are you talking about?"

Kuro thought to himself that he had never heard of anyone with this nickname.

"Captain, he's talking about Smoker in the Navy."

Zangao walked over and was relieved to see that Kuro was okay.

"Smoker, isn't his nickname the Smoker? When did he get another nickname called Mad Dog?"

Kuro found it a little funny.

"Hahaha, it started from the navy, saying that he even talked back to his superiors, like a mad dog."

Hearing what Zangao said, Kuro felt that it was quite appropriate. That kid would not only provoke his boss, but he would even dare to mess with the Seven Warlords of the Sea when he gets crazy.

“Hahahaha that’s a really apt description.”

"Alright, boys, I need to give you a meeting before we go out to sea again."

"This time we are going to the Grand Line, where we will be faced with endless dangers and terrifying enemies."

"So, if anyone doesn't want to go, you can get off the ship here. After all, it was me who threatened you to get on the ship in the first place."

After Kuro finished speaking, all the crew members looked at each other, then no one paid any attention to Kuro and went back to their own work.

"Hey, you guys."

Kuro wanted to say something else.

At this time, Clo came over.

"Maybe some people wanted to get off the ship when you forced them to stay on the ship at the beginning, but after such a long time of getting along and fighting, everyone has already recognized you, the captain."

Clo adjusted his glasses and said

"You guys are really touching. I originally wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys if anyone wanted to get off the boat."

After saying this, Clo shed a crocodile tear.

"That's too much, you bastard captain! x20"

Everyone on the boat gritted their teeth and roared.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Kuro looked at everyone on the boat and smiled happily.

"Alright guys, the entrance to the Grand Line is ahead! Once you enter, the enemies you encounter will definitely be stronger than the last."

"All you have to do is train harder! Survive! Follow me and attack the top position!!!"

"Oh!!!"

"Long live the Captain!!!"

"Captain, we will definitely become stronger!!!"

After Kuro finished speaking encouragement and goals to everyone, the crew members were all excited.

Kuro felt very proud when he saw the crew members shouting happily.

At the same time, I have a lot of expectations for the Grand Route.
