Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Hahaha, Captain, you don't know, as soon as I walked out of Madam Lingling's inn, I felt someone staring at me from behind. When I turned around, I found this guy hiding behind a tree."

"The funniest thing is that the tree was not even as thick as his legs, and I caught it directly. On the way, he kept begging me not to send it to you, fearing that you would beat him to death."

Ryan couldn't stop laughing. This kid always did stupid things like this.

"Haha, Ah Er, how do you want Paul to cook it for you? Braise it or steam it."

"Captain, can I choose not to be made into a dish? I really don't taste good, Captain."

When Er heard Kuro say that he was going to be cooked, he was so scared that he hugged Kuro's legs and started crying.

"A-er, listen, everyone has to go through this step, you just got there earlier. Don't worry, my Butu Yuhun is very sharp, I'm sure you won't feel too much pain."

Kuro took the Budu Yuhun and rubbed it on A'er's neck, which scared A'er so much that he twitched.

"Okay Captain, stop teasing him. I have something to tell you."

When Kuro heard that Clo had something to tell him, and then saw Clo's serious expression, he knew it was a serious matter.

He kicked Ah Er off his legs and led Clo into the living room.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Kuro signaled that he could speak.

"Captain, I called Sengoku this time to inform him to send a warship to pick us up, and he agreed. But after I hung up the phone, the Five Elders called me."

"Five Elders? What do they want from me?"

"They want us to kill a group of pirates."

When Kuro heard the Five Elders' request, he raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtful.

"Who is it? And why do we need to take action?"

"Lion Burley, the user of the Animal-type Lion-Lion Fruit, with a bounty of 120 million Baileys. He is now on the Beast Island not far from us."

"As for why they asked us to take action, the Five Elders' answer was that our current reputation is not enough, and we still need a battle to shock the pirates to prove ourselves."

When Kuro heard what Kuro said, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, to come up with this reason, the Five Elders are really stupid. I'm one of the Seven Warlords now, do I still need to prove myself by fighting?"

After laughing, Kuro looked at Clo with sharp eyes. He felt that the Five Elders had become confused due to old age!

"Humph, their real purpose is not to drink, they actually want to see if I have eaten the fruit."

"At the same time, they also want to know whether Vegapunk's artificial fruit was successful, and by the way, to see how strong I am."

"Tell the Five Elders tomorrow that our ship is broken and we are currently in the shipyard, building a new ship. It will take half a month. We can talk about this matter after the ship is built."

Kuro finished laughing, and a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes. "Five Elders, don't you want to know the power of the fruit? No problem, I will definitely do my best to put on a big show for you."

However, since I have contributed, you should give me some benefits.

There's no benefit. I don't have time to serve you.

"Okay, Captain. I will contact the Five Elders tomorrow. Also, Bebo has offered 50 million to the Black Ship."

"You decide. After all, you built the black ship."

"Okay Captain."

"Have all the things on the ship been taken down? And has Mrs. Lingling paid?"

"We have taken down part of it, including the Baileys, wine, and food. The rest is still on the boat. Mrs. Lingling gave us 50,000 Baileys."

"okay."

After talking things over with Clo, the two walked out to the yard, where the crew were drinking and chatting.

Seeing the captain coming out, everyone raised their glasses to the captain and invited Kuro to have a drink.

Kuro walked to where the wine barrels were piled, picked up a barrel of fruit wine, and punched a hole in it.

"Come on, guys, let's have a drink first."

"Cheers, Captain!"

Kuro picked up the barrel and drank half of it.

"What we need to do today is to relax and have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, I will train you for half a month."

"In the next half month, I require you to master the Armament Haki, even if it is just a simple defense. Can you do it?"

"No problem Captain!"

"We'll try hard Captain."

"Hahaha, I have already mastered the armament color, Captain, can I not train?"

A'er said with his tail up that ever since he was taught a lesson by Ji Hai when he was snatching meat last time, he has been working hard and wants to learn the art of armament.

In the future, I will use armed Haki to bite his butt hard in retaliation for his almost broken teeth.

Thinking back on it now, Ah Er still feels a dull pain in his teeth.

So since that day on, Er would always ask Ryan to teach him Armament Haki, relying on the foundation that Kuro had taught him before, plus the teaching of Ji Hai during this period.

This kid managed to master the hardening of armament color after just two days, mainly because of Er. The funny thing about the hardening of armament color is also his teeth.

So, today, when Kuro proposed special training in Armament Haki, Er quickly stood by, showing off his big black teeth to everyone.

"Alright, alright, shut up. We know you can use the Armament Haki."

"But it's not enough. You only have Armament Haki in your teeth. You can't even use Armament Haki to catch a Nature-type. So you need special training as well, even Ryan."

Ryan heard the captain call his name and quickly looked at the captain.

"For the next half month, you and I will be in a team. I want to test how much your strength has improved recently."

"Okay Captain, I promise to give you a surprise."

As soon as Kuro finished speaking, Ryan immediately assured him, with a look of confidence on his face.

"Okay, after I finish this barrel of wine, I will go back to my room to rest. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the devilish training. Brothers, enjoy today's indulgence."

After saying this, Kuro drank the barrel of fruit wine, then walked into the room, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

Today was the last day of indulgence for the crew, so they quickly pulled Paul over, cooked a bunch of food, and indulged themselves like crazy.

The next morning, Kuro opened his eyes.

He moved all the joints and muscles in his body, walked out of the room, and looked at the crew members who were sleeping crookedly in the yard.

Kuro went into the kitchen and took out two iron basins.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

A burst of slapping woke everyone up.

"Hey, congratulations everyone, life in hell has arrived."

Kuro showed a ferocious smile on his face, and then drove the crew to the abandoned quarry to start training.

Arriving at the quarry and looking at the flat land around him, Kuro felt very satisfied. This place was so great.
