In Hawkins's cards, the meaning of a proper 'Emperor' is to make people ambitious and full of confidence. That kind of confidence can make a person very strong.
However, his fruit is 'Straw Fruit' and his related ability is 'Curse'. As long as he activates his ability, it will always be reversed.
If one were to reverse the 'Emperor', one would not have much confidence, and if one loses confidence, their strength will naturally decrease greatly.
The purple spiritual light in the card was drawn out of the card.
Effect, activate!
In the air, Kuro felt that his nose was a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his nose and looked at the huge scarecrow phantom, feeling a little inexplicable.
"What is that thing used for? It doesn't fight or move. Is it used as the background for the battle?" Kuro smacked his lips.
"Let me try!"
Seeing that the curse seemed to work on Kuro, Apu was eager to try and suddenly knocked his head, "Scratch."
The slash brought by the sound wave went straight for Kuro's neck.
Then, it was blocked by his Armament Haki.
"Yes?"
Kuro tilted his head and looked at Apu on the ground.
"What's going on? Why is it useless? Scrape . Explode!"
Apu tried again.
Boom!
This time it caused an explosion on Kuro.
Then it was blocked by Armament Haki.
"Annoying…"
Kuro took a few steps in the air and his body turned into an afterimage and disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared behind Apu and slashed down.
Pfft!
With just one slash, Apu's back was torn and his eyes rolled back and he fell down.
"Why… didn't you say that there is no confidence?" Apu reached out and looked at Hawkins.
Hawkins turned his head away from him.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Kuro asked suspiciously, "No confidence? What do you mean?"
"ROM!"
At this time, Law seized the opportunity and replaced Apu and Urki. His huge body descended in front of Kuro and punched him.
Kuro narrowed his eyes and his figure disappeared. "One Blade Flow: One Line Sky."
Before Urki's fist even landed, a ray of light went from his arm to his chest.
Pfft!!!
Urki's arm began to split from his chest and a large amount of blood spurted out. Under this knife, his figure completely shrank and he lay there panting.
This time, he used Armament Haki, so the power was naturally different.
One cut was enough.
Kuro appeared behind Urki, shook the blood off the blade, and sheathed the knife. "It's good for you to lie down. Why don't you listen?"
"Hey, Hawkins!" Law was a little angry.
"That's impossible…"
Hawkins's eyes rippled with disbelief. "My curse will not fail."
"What curse?"
The voice came from behind him, and Kuro appeared behind him, the blade of the knife opening slightly.
Hawkins remained expressionless. He had always been a stoic person, so it was difficult for him to show an exaggerated expression.
Although he was very afraid now.
"Reversing 'Emperor' will make you lose your ambition and confidence. Why… you still haven't changed."
Not only his strength, but even his mentality did not seem to have changed at all.
"Oh, that…"
Chi!
Kuro made Hawkins lie on the ground and the scarecrow phantom above him gradually disappeared. He looked at everyone and said, "Because…"
"I never had any ambition or confidence."
"?"
Jo Ellie Bonny tilted her head and stared at Kuro for a long time before she said, "Huh?"
"Are you surprised?"
Kuro moved his feet and appeared in front of Jo Aili Boni. He kicked her in the chest. The kick containing Armament Haki sent her flying and she hit a building in the distance, collapsing the building.
"I am a person…"
He moved away at a high speed again, and this time he appeared in front of Kira. He slashed up diagonally, bringing with him a pool of blood.
"It's always been…"
Whoosh!
This time, he jumped to the central section of the huge castle. The blade had been sheathed and he was in a posture of Iaido.
Chi!!!
With a horizontal slash, the center of the huge castle was cut open and more than half of it collapsed inside. The huge castle fell on its back and the moment it fell, it turned into Capone Becky's short and fat appearance. There was a huge wound on his abdomen.
Kuro landed gently on the ground and finished his last words.
"There is no such thing as ambition or confidence."
'Ambition?'
His ambition is to live a safe life.
This thing is called ambition?
He had been hiding in East Blue for ten years, but in the end, he still left East Blue.
Confidence?
Where did his confidence come from?
Can he shatter the Red Earth with one slash? Or can he cut the four seas into eight?
How dare you say that you are confident in yourself when you are not capable?
Bah!
Besides, he has no confidence in these metahumans.
Even if he faced four at the beginning, he would still rely on high-speed movement and then cut them down.
When had he ever fought back?
Now that he was fighting against nine, he activated Armament Haki all over his body and still did not dare to fight them head-on. He still moved at a high speed and chopped them down.
The ability user is too dangerous. If there is any move that can break Haki, he will fail.
Kuro would not bet on this probability.
So he had no confidence in the first place.
"String!"
Kidd hit Kuro with his metal arm.
"ROM!"
Law flipped his palm, and the wounds of the people who had just been cut by Kuro healed, and their breath became uniform.
"You are really annoying."
Kuro easily dodged Kidd's attack and slashed at Law.
However, although his speed was fast, it was still slower than Law's teleportation. As soon as the blade arrived, Law and a stone were replaced, making Kuro lonely.
"It's better for them to lie down, really, I won't lie to you." Kuro held the knife and hinted to Law.
He didn't want to catch them, but he couldn't let them go easily. Wouldn't it be good to cut them and let them lie on the ground obediently after he left?
Surgery Fruit was really annoying.
Law ignored him and reached out again. "ROM!"
Kidd appeared behind Kuro, and the metal palm pressed down.
Bang!
Kuro stuck Kid's giant metal arm and asked curiously, "Why are you so persistent? Shouldn't you run away now?"
Kidd grinned. "Of course it's because I want to kill you. Your knife has been hit by my magnetic devil twice!"
Crack crack crack…
This time, Huazhou trembled even more.
Kuro frowned and was about to use his actions when he realized that he was surrounded by people.
The Supernovas who were healed by Law, except Drake, jointly attacked themselves.
"Moonwalk."
Kuro jumped into the sky and stepped on the air, looking down. "For some reason…"
"Moonwalk!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side. Drake maintained his Draconian form and appeared in the air at the same level as Kuro. His fist wrapped in Armament Haki went straight for him.
He has been waiting for a long time!
"Yes?"
Kuro subconsciously narrowed his eyes and slashed.
"ROM, shock shock!"
Kuro found that his body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his whole body was entangled by electricity. In front of Haki, this electricity was naturally useless, but his face and chest were not.
This paralyzed Kuro for a moment.
"Magnetic Absorption!"
Kidd's huge metal arm pointed at Kuro in the air, making the knife in Kuro's hand tremble.
And what Law wanted to seize was this moment!
"ROM, replace!"
The knife in his hand disappeared along with the scabbard at his waist, and a soft long leaf appeared in his hand.
The knife had been replaced.
Yes, this is Law's Plan D!
