Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"clang!"

"clang!!"

"clang!!!"

Tisha, Ada and A'er fell on the ruins with big bags on their heads.

Kuro looked at the three of them angrily, with steam coming out of his hands.

"You bastards, I just got home and you gave me such a big surprise!"

"Are you going to rebel?!"

Kuro's eyes were about to spit fire. If Golden Lion hadn't used the power of his fruit to hold on at the moment of collapse, his pirate group would have been wiped out!

"Captain! You're really back!"

Ryan ran happily to Kuro, who had kicked the glass in the corridor and broken it when the castle collapsed, and jumped out with Paul.

So the two of them were not covered in dust at all, unlike Kuro and the others, who were also covered in dust even though the golden lion controlled the castle and prevented it from falling down.

"I'm back, I'm back. You must have grown taller recently."

Kuro looked at Ryan, who was about the same height as him, and his eyes curved into crescents with a smile. Ryan was his first crew member, and he always had high hopes for Ryan.

Fortunately, Ryan did not disappoint this expectation, and in the past few years his strength has caught up with the first-line combat forces.

Kuro was very happy to hear that Ryan had completed the awakening of the fruit.

"Hehe, after fighting with Garp and the others, I grew a little taller. Captain, I can fight with Garp now, but I just can't last long."

When Ryan heard Kuro's question, his usually ferocious face suddenly became embarrassed. He touched the back of Kuro's head with a simple and honest look on his face.

"I know. Clo told me. How about the fruit awakening? Can it be controlled?"

"It's okay, Captain. Do you remember the time I lost control before?"

"out of control?"

Kuro thought for a moment.

"You're talking about the previous battle with Big Mom, right?"

"Right. Now that I think about it, I actually had some idea of ​​awakening my fruit that time, but I couldn't control it. The sound of eating her kept echoing in my mind. If you hadn't knocked me out, I might not be myself anymore."

Ryan had a look of fear on his face after he finished speaking, but Kuro nodded with understanding on his face. Ryan's look at that time should have been close to the state of the Jailer Beast.

If you rush through, the fruit will awaken. If you can't rush through, you will be eaten by the fruit and become a monster that is neither human nor animal, just like Jailermon.

He has a strong body but has lost his mind, and is no different from a wild beast.

"Luckily you succeeded."

Kuro reached out and patted Ryan's shoulder. He almost lost an important partner because he was not here.

"Hey, Captain, Ryan is very powerful now. Without him, I would not be able to control the entire underground arms market."

"Did Ryan help you get it?"

Kuro looked at Ryan with some surprise. It seemed that his previous judgment of Ryan's strength was wrong.

"That's not the case. Captain, have you forgotten Ryan's fruit ability? He can control metal."

"When others were still relying on military factories to manufacture weapons, Ryan could make hundreds of them in minutes if he was given the blueprints."

"And he doesn't need to smelt steel. Even scrap steel, scrap iron, or even broken weapon fragments, as long as they fall into Ryan's hands, they can all be turned into the weapons he wants to make."

"Just because of this, when I first started to get involved in the underground market, I was far ahead of others in terms of raw materials alone. Moreover, the weapons made by Ryan were also stronger than those made by others."

Clo talked endlessly about the underground arms and kept praising Ryan, who was even more proud with a smile on his face.

"Captain, I'm not bragging. In order to produce better quality products, we even found a swordsmith from Wano Country to help. If it weren't for the fact that it takes a certain amount of time to make a famous sword, I would have planned to directly mass-produce the famous swords!"

After Kuro finished his compliments, Ryan reached out and created a samurai sword on the spot and handed it to Kuro for inspection.

"Dang~~"

Kuro flicked the blade with his fingers, and a melodious metallic sound rang out. Kuro drew his sword and swung it, and several ancient trees growing in the distance were cut off in an instant.

The samurai sword in Kuro's hand broke.

"Eh?!? How is this possible?"

"Don't be surprised. The fact that this thing can hold out long enough for me to swing the sword at it is enough to prove its strength."

Kuro held up the broken blade in his hand and looked at the broken gap. The cross section was solid, and it was indeed a good weapon.

But with his current strength, even if it weren't for the big sharp sword, he wouldn't be able to keep fighting.

"Captain, let's have a fight later!"

Ryan said to Kuro with hope on his face.

"Why? Do you want to fulfill your wish when you first got on board?"

"Hey, let's spar first."

"Hey kid, I promise you, when Barrett and the others come back, we'll find a place to fight."

After Kuro finished speaking, the fire of war in Ryan's eyes was ignited. Whether he could meet the requirements he had set for Kuro when he first got on the ship depended on this battle!

"Now."

Kuro flexed his hands and walked over to the three people lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Feeling Kuro approaching, cold sweat immediately broke out on the foreheads of the three men.

"I'll deal with these three guys first."

Kuro's words sounded like a death knell to the three of them. Er even activated his fruit ability right after Kuro finished speaking. The next second, a big black dog jumped up from the ground and ran away!

Ada followed closely behind and fled in the opposite direction.

Only Tissa opened his eyes stupidly, looking at the two black shadows at a loss.

"Hey, these two fools."

Ryan saw the two running away, sneered and was about to move, but Kuro reached out and stopped him.

"Let me do it. I haven't fought enough yet."

After Kuro finished speaking, the next second only a whirlwind was left on the spot, and Kuro rushed to A Er using the Moon Step.

"Go around!"

As soon as Ah Er said a word, he flew backwards and spit out a mouthful of stomach juice!

"Captain is so fast."

Ryan's eyes widened as he watched Kuro leave an afterimage in the air.

"Whoosh!"

A'er directly knocked away Tisha who was standing there in a daze, and the two flew in the direction where A'da escaped.

Kuro left a series of gas explosions in the air and was already in front of Ada.

Ada knelt down and braked, sliding in front of Kuro.

"Captain, I accept the punishment!!!"

"boom!!!"

Hearing what Ada said, Kuro smiled slightly, and also kicked him to go on a journey, and the three of them bumped into each other directly!

Kuro walked up to the three of them.

"Captain, could you please stop hitting me in the face?"

"Hey, you've been with me for so many years, don't you know how I do things?"

"When I hit people, I hit them in the face!"

"No!!!!!"

In the future, when the crew members think of what happened today, they can't help but tremble. The scene was like hell on earth.
