"Mom!!"
Weevil, who was being beaten up, saw Miss Barking die and roared in pain. His eyes turned completely red and his whole body shook. He directly let go of the guillotine and his fists shook to the ground. The huge force brought about a vibration and actually made the attacking Marines freeze.
But soon, an afterimage flashed down from the sky, and his feet were like guns, piercing into Weevil's lumbar spine.
Dalmatian!
"If you lose your mind, you won't have Kenbonshoku (Observation). Don't be afraid of him, keep fighting!" Dalmatian said.
"Mom…"
Blood seeped out of the corner of Weevil's mouth. His already injured body was so angry that he didn't even have time to protect himself with Armament Haki and his lumbar spine was damaged by Dalmatian.
If it were any other time, he would definitely be able to fight again. This kind of injury can only be said to be an injury for his physical fitness and he has not lost his combat power.
But now, he seemed to have lost his will to fight.
Miss Barking was his mother, true or not, but in Weeble's heart, he thought that it was true. When the important person died, there was no will to fight.
Just like Zephyr back then, his family died, and so did the students who regarded him as their family. All of them died in the hands of pirates. After being a Marine for so many years, they still found that the sense of powerlessness that pirates could never cut off was not much different.
Although Kuro did not kill Miss Barking on purpose to make Weevil feel heartache, it was just a priority to deal with people according to the level of threat, but Weevil's appearance was no different from Zephyra back then.
An eye for an eye.
Kuro bit his cigar and exhaled a mouthful of smoke as if sighing. He turned his wrist that was holding Autumn Water and in an instant, a shadow appeared in front of Weevil's face.
"Untamed God's final profound meaning…"
Kuro wiped his two fingers on the blade, and the sky suddenly darkened. With a rumbling sound, a golden thunderbolt fell from it, wrapped around the blade like a dragon and emitted golden light, and slashed down.
"Huang Long!"
The power of the complete 'Yellow Dragon' is naturally stronger than that of Kuro's Instant Cast. His movements can't be regarded as movements, they are the accumulation of momentum and swordsmanship. As he chants and prepares, the accumulation of power is completed, and the Instant Cast Yellow Dragon is something he developed recently. It focuses on speed, but he has abandoned a lot of power.
Chi!!!
With a flash of golden light, Kuro quickly sheathed his sword and walked past him towards the port without looking at Weber.
At this moment, Weevil's body stiffened and a golden line suddenly appeared from his forehead to his chin. The golden line expanded and revealed a red color. There was no gap and no blood. Only Weevil's head tilted to the side and there was no more sound.
This made the nearby Marines freeze.
The people here are all strong people who have been trained by Zephyr. They can distinguish whether a person dies or not.
Since everyone was dead, there was naturally nothing to fight.
"Why? Vice-Admiral!"
Ian ran over and shouted, "He should be tortured more!"
For this reason, Ian did not use his ability.
If it was a one-on-one battle, Ian would not have the chance to use his ability on Weevil. That powerful Haki would isolate her strength, and his strong physique would make him unable to use it.
But with so many people fighting, she must be able to find a gap and directly disappear Weevil.
But she wanted Weeble to suffer more. She wanted the pain that Teacher Zephyr had once suffered to be reflected in him. That was why she used a pistol.
"Enough."
Kuro shook his head. "That's just a fool, a somewhat stupid fool. This level is enough. We are not pirates. We will not do things like them, but we are also human. We will also take revenge, but revenge does not mean that we have to become like those despicable people. We are Marines. We have our own pride."
He looked at Ian. "If Teacher Zephyr is still here, he doesn't want you to be like this, Ian."
As long as it was about Zephyr, Ian would lose control of his emotions. She had an abnormal respect for Teacher Zephyr, a fatherly respect.
Ian's lips quivered and he lowered his head.
"Holding the past cannot make you happy. You have been in G-3 for so long and you have been quite silent. Holding the shackles of the past, there is no way to move forward. You will only retreat further and further," Kuro said to her.
Kuro had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but there was no good reason. After all, he was living well on the surface. How bad could a colonel be? Moreover, G-3's welfare treatment was not bad.
I can't tell Ian that you came to my office alone. I want to explore your heart.
It was easy to think of him as a hooligan.
Kuro patted Ian's shoulder and looked at the sea in front of him and said slowly, "Think about it. You know, people can stagnate, but the waves of the sea will not. If you don't move forward before it raises waves, then when the waves come, you will be the first to be submerged."
"Yes, I know." Ian's eyes were red. "We have avenged Master Zephyr!"
"Yes, it has been reported."
Kuro smiled and walked around Ioan to the harbor. He looked down at the crashing waves and said, "Bring some wine, Sherry. I know you all brought it."
The people he talked to were Marines who came from the rear to take revenge.
These Marine officers smiled and nodded and ordered their subordinates to go to the ship to get the wine. After a while, Marine soldiers brought the wine over. These Zephyr disciples each held a bottle and stood behind Kuro, also watching the sea.
The Mole said behind him, "Kuro, thank you for letting us vent our anger."
Kuro shook his head. "What are you thanking me for? I'm also a Marine and have been taught by Zephyr. Although I haven't been as long as you, I recognize your teaching. You make it sound like I'm not Zephyr's disciple."
The Mole smiled and said no more.
Although this man was not born 'orthodox' like Smoker and he was a layman to them, he had long been recognized by them because of his style of doing things. In their eyes, this was a Marine with a very high 'purity'.
Kuro uncorked the bottle, aimed it at the sea, and poured it down.
The Marines at the rear followed suit. They actually did not understand this tradition, but at this moment, there was a tacit understanding that they should do so.
Kuro was almost done pouring. He stood at attention and shook the bottle at the vast and endless sea in front of him. "Marine men are not just a nickname for pirates. We Marines are the same, and our home is also the sea. So, to Zefa, to those who died fighting pirates."
Phew!!
Like the sound of the wind, the Marines at the rear uniformly knocked the bottle forward and opened their mouths to drink the remaining wine at the same time as Kuro.
"Teacher Zephyr!!"
Ian couldn't help but feel sad. He couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
She had been holding it in for such a long time. After taking revenge, she could not help but cry.
The moment she cried, the people around her could not take it anymore.
Recalling the scene of Zephyra leading them back then, they all looked sad.
Crash—
The waves rose high and hit the beach with an inexplicable loud sound.
"The sea is watching…"
It was unknown who started it, but a voice sounded in the crowd, which seemed to affect the hearts of these Marines, and they continued together:
"The beginning of this world."
"The sea also knows."
"The end of this world."
The voice became louder and louder, and even the Marine soldiers on standby sang together, and the grand voice gradually resounded on the island.
"So what it invites is the road that should go forward."
"So what it guides is the right world!"
Kuro sang the last line and stared at the sea.
"The Whitebeard Pirates are known as the 'Strongest Pirates' because they will fight to the death against the enemy if they lose a person, but there is no reason why we Marines can't do what pirates can do!"
"We want to let the people on the sea know that we Marines are not to be trifled with. If we sacrifice one Marine, ten pirates will die! If we sacrifice a ship of Marines, we will turn that sea upside down!"
**TIP**
Kuro forcefully smashed the bottle into pieces and said through gritted teeth, "Warning those pirates, as long as there is Marine, that place should be absolutely safe!"
As long as Marine is safe, he is safe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to show his power and establish Marine rules, no one will provoke him.
Let's all win.
