Pirates: Rush to the Peak

In the evening, a bonfire was lit on the island, people sat around it, and the ground was filled with food.

The aroma filled the air and Kuro's mouth was watering.

It smells so good, it's worthy of being called the Island of Chefs. Just the smell is even better than the food in the restaurant on the sea.

"Okay, the first glass of wine today is to the Kuro Pirates, because they came and defeated the Wild Boar Pirates and saved us."

Grandma Fanglan raised her glass and expressed her gratitude to Kuro and the others.

"Cheers to the Kuro Pirates."

The islanders also raised their glasses.

"Everybody, let's drink together!"

Kuro and the others also picked up their glasses and drank together.

"This second glass of wine is for Paul, who is always the first to charge forward whenever the enemy attacks."

"He protected Weierzhou Island and the people on the island. Now he has joined the Kuro Pirates. Let us wish him a safe journey."

"To Paul, may he be at peace."

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Paul was already crying and sobbing.

The islanders also had tears in their eyes.

"This third cup is for the deceased islanders. May their spirits in heaven bless the living and bring them happiness and health."

"Cheers to the dead."

After the third glass of wine, all the islanders burst into tears, and Kuro and the others remained silent.

This is the cruelty of this world. I couldn’t understand the impact of Roger’s words when I watched anime in my previous life, but when I really got here, I realized how terrifying those words were.

This one sentence drives people in this world crazy and makes them rush into the sea fearlessly. However, after sailing for a while, they will find that food and clothing are problems.

When people are starving, they have lost their moral bottom line and will resort to burning, killing and looting to fill their stomachs.

Roger gave people the fantasy of treasure, but at the same time, he also brought the suffering of rampant pirates.

Therefore, Kuro understood one thing since he was a child: weakness is the original sin.

It is precisely because of their weakness that the parents of this body died tragically, and it is precisely because of their weakness that the residents of the island died.

Therefore, becoming stronger is Kuro's only belief. Become stronger, become stronger than everyone else. I want to be the strongest man in the world!!!

Suddenly, a red light wave appeared around Kuro's body.

hum!

The light waves were released in all directions. The surrounding islanders and crew members all felt a powerful pressure, and then they were all shocked and fainted, losing consciousness.

"What is this? Overlord Haki?!!!"

Kuro looked at the people who had fainted and realized that he had awakened his Conqueror's Haki!!

Before, Kuro thought that it was impossible for him to awaken the Conqueror's Haki because he had no ambition to become a king.

So I never forced it.

But seeing the islanders crying today touched his desire for strength, aroused his ambition for strength, and made him more determined in his beliefs.

This belief combined with his ambition enabled him to directly awaken his Domineering Haki!

At this moment, Kuro finally got the admission ticket to become a strong man.

"Hahaha, Four Emperors! Wait for me, it won't be long before I, Reed D. Kuro, will take your place!"

Kuro laughed loudly, bombarding the surroundings with his domineering color.

"Okay, let's eat."

After Kuro finished laughing, he immediately started showing off.

Are you kidding? Everyone has fainted and all the food belongs to him, so why not eat it now?

When they woke up after a while, it was too late.

(The domineering color means that it is embarrassing to follow you.)

After a while, Ryan was the first to wake up.

"Hmm...what happened just now? I felt like I was knocked unconscious by an iron rod. I feel dizzy and groggy."

Ryan supported himself on the ground with one hand and held his head with the other, and his whole body was shaking.

After waking up a little, Ryan saw his captain staring at him with a bone stick in his mouth and a steak in his hand.

"Oh, you're awake Ryan."

"Captain, what happened just now? Are there any enemies?"

When he thought of the enemy, Ryan quickly stood up, turned into human-beast form, held the mace in his hand, and looked around.

Looking for the enemy.

"Hey, don't be nervous. My ability just awakened, so you were knocked unconscious."

Kuro bit the bone in his mouth and swallowed it, then said indifferently.

"What? Ability awakened? It knocked us out?!"

Ryan leaped up and landed in front of Kuro.

"Captain, can you teach me this ability?"

"Well, I can't teach you. This is a type of Haki, called Conqueror's Haki. It is awakened by oneself, and it all depends on God's will. It can't be achieved by hard work."

"To be honest, I don't even know why I was able to awaken."

After Kuro finished speaking, Ryan looked envious, but it was a pity that he couldn't learn it.

"He's already strong enough, and he's awakened such a powerful ability. How can we catch up with him, Captain?"

Ryan's tone was filled with frustration.

"Is it possible that even if I don't awaken my Conqueror's Haki you won't be able to catch up with me?"

Kuro patted Ryan's shoulder and comforted him carefully.

"Thank you, next time you can't comfort others, then don't comfort them. Also, don't rub your greasy hands on my clothes after grabbing the steak! This is not a rag!"

Ryan's shout woke up all the people who had fainted.

Everyone shook their heads and asked what had just happened.

"What happened? Captain, why did I faint?"

Ada got up and asked Kuro.

"I don't know what happened. I passed out in an instant. I just woke up, right Ryan."

Seeing the captain winking at him, Ryan nodded and said yes even though he didn't know why the captain lied.

"That's really strange. Everyone fainted. Fortunately, no enemy came to attack us, otherwise we would have been wiped out."

Zangao looked relieved and said he was very lucky.

"Yes, yes, fortunately nothing happened."

The group of people just thought it was a special situation and continued to hold the banquet.

As he watched the fragrant beast meat being brought in from the kitchen, Kuro felt like he had been cheated!

Just now, I took advantage of them fainting to show off the delicious food. I thought these were the only dishes.

I didn’t expect that there was a feast in the kitchen. I should have left some food for myself.

Touching his round belly, Kuro suddenly thought of something.

He quickly slipped to the side, found an open space, and started training.

I am now full of energy, so I cannot recharge myself (I cannot eat food). So, isn't it all right for me to just consume this energy?

Kuro immediately started the high-speed training mode.

No one could see what he was doing. They could only see a figure flashing, and then after a long while, a sound of a rumbling stomach came from the figure.

Kuro stopped quickly. He looked thinner, with his cheeks and stomach shrunken.

He staggered to the meat, opened his mouth and ate it without restraint. His body gained weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone who saw it was stunned. What the hell? He had a bulging belly just now, then he did some exercise and became like a hungry ghost. Now he came back and ate something and became fat again.

"Oh, don't mind it, my body is just a little special."

"Your words make people more concerned!"

The crew members were used to this and they all started to force people around them to drink.

In this way, the banquet lasted until the early morning.

Then, under the arrangement of the islanders, we rested directly in the hotel on the island.
