Haoshoku and killing intent intertwined and collided with each other, making the city tremble inexplicably. The dust on the ground rose and fell, and the seawater outside the port surged.
"Mr. Kuro…" Kro transformed into his human-beast form and was barely able to resist the red-haired man's domineering aura, but after being stimulated by Kuro's killing intent, he couldn't hold on anymore.
Kuro glanced at him and took a step forward, standing in front of Leda and Chloë. Just this step lightened the pressure on both of them and they felt that the air was much smoother.
Similarly, Red Hair also took a step forward and stood in front of those cadres, his tyrannical Haoshoku blocked Kuro's killing intent.
Ben Beckman was not blocked by Red Hair. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He said to Kuro, "It's really exaggerated."
In terms of strength, he is not much weaker than Shanks, just like other people are the Emperor's Vice-Emperor, he is the Vice-Emperor and his strength is very strong. It can be seen what Kuro's killing intent represents.
He could be sure that in terms of killing degree, this guy is unparalleled in the whole world. No matter who it is, they are not as good as him in killing degree. After all, the degree of this killing intent can show too many things.
Ben Beckman glanced at the surrounding cities and said, "Hey, Shanks…"
"Ah, I know."
Shanks responded and suddenly strode forward. He pulled out Griffin from his waist and slashed at Kuro.
The corner of Kuro's mouth curled up, and the black light at his waist flickered, and the autumn water glowed with the light of golden lightning, and the blade of Griffin's sword came down.
Clang!!
The sky was even darker, as if it was rolling in.
This was Shanks' Haoshoku (Haoshoku) winding, but it was blocked by Kuro's Unified Haki.
Boom!
With one slash, the ground was fine, but the seawater on the other side of the port rose and fell violently, bringing a mass of heavy air straight into the sky, making the surrounding air much heavier.
This move …
Kuro narrowed his eyes.
Did he not want the people of the city to suffer?
Or is he deliberately showing off his exquisite swordsmanship in front of me?
Provoke me?
Shanks' sword skills are not low. Before he became a Yonkō (Four Emperors), he often fenced with Mihawk when he still had his arms. Later, he went back to East Blue and lost his arms, Mihawk lost interest.
But that was many years ago, and now, although he has lost an arm, it can't be said that his swordsmanship has declined greatly.
Dang!
Kuro pushed Autumn Water up and parried Shanks's famous sword 'Griffin'. He turned his wrist and the blade turned into hundreds of afterimages and slashed at Shanks from all directions.
"Hundred Shadow Slash!"
"You only have one knife, Kim Luong."
Shanks took a step back and the sword was placed on the left side.
Those afterimages disappeared, leaving only a black saber on the Western sword.
Dang!
Boom!!
With a crisp sound, the seawater on the other side of the port suddenly separated into two deep ravines. Similarly, the ground did not suffer any damage, and there was not even a tremor.
Shanks smiled and was about to say something when a fist appeared on his face.
Bang!
A black fist hit his face, causing Shanks to subconsciously take a few steps back. A red mark appeared on his nose, and a layer of Armament Haki slowly faded from his nose, making him frown.
Kuro raised his fist and grinned. "One-armed man, it doesn't feel good to be missing a hand."
Shanks was missing a hand. In a battle of this scale, he was no match for Kuro because he had an extra hand.
As for whether it's fair or not…
What's wrong? As a normal person, if he doesn't use his own hands, does that mean he doesn't use his other hand?
That's not fair, that's stupid.
"Hey!"
Ben Beckman frowned and called out impatiently. His arms began to tense up, and the cadres of the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates behind him also made fighting postures.
Shanks shook his head and glanced at the residents lying nearby. "Don't fight here."
With that, he said to Kuro, "You have the same idea, right, Kim."
"What, you don't think my skills are weaker than yours, do you?" Kuro sneered.
He knew Shanks was a man who knew his limits, and so did he.
In this place, Kuro himself did not want to fight. If it were Kaido, Lingling or Tiki, he would have used his ability to open up another battlefield. But for Shanks, he did not need to do this.
There are too many things to worry about. The people in the surrounding cities have the most to worry about. We can't let them fight freely. This guy tested him with skills before, so Kuro naturally fought back with skills.
He knew that they were not born to fight.
This guy is here to make trouble for Tiki. What does it have to do with him? The Duchy of Faya is not Tiki's territory to begin with. Red Hair has no reason to come here. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he suddenly wants to take over the entire Astya.
Otherwise, how do you think Akagami (Red Hair) came about?
"Is it?"
Shanks smiled and suddenly stepped forward. Griffin slashed horizontally, bringing with him an inexplicable momentum.
Haoshoku winding?
Kuro's pupils shrank and Autumn Water stepped forward. The light of Golden Lightning shone on the blade and blocked the attack full of Haoshoku.
Clang!!
Under the collision of the blades, Shanks suddenly exerted strength in his right arm. The blade of Griffin, wrapped in Haoshoku, directly pushed against Kuro's blade, making his body move a little to the side. At this time, the blade of the blade crossed and the blade of Griffin and Autumn Water burst into a cluster of sparks. Shanks' body was close and he was in front of Kuro. He smiled at him, and a touch of Haki appeared on his big forehead and directly hit him.
Kuro raised his left arm and was about to block it, but at this moment, he was suddenly stunned and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late. His chest was kicked by a foot and he took a few steps back.
"You don't think my skills are really weak, do you?" Shanks teased.
Kuro looked down at the dirty footprints on the uniform, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face fell. He looked at Shanks with a little blood in his eyes. "You did a good job, One-Armed Kid."
"I told you, if you get angry so easily, you will die early." Shanks smiled and said, "Compared to that year, you seem to have a lot of temper, Kim Jung. Has the ability of the fruit affected your character?"
These words made Leda and Crowe nod subconsciously.
It seems that his temper has become much worse. In the past, when he was angry, Crowe was very afraid. Now that Kuro is angry, he is even more afraid.
Although Leda is not afraid, Kuro will get angry and ignore everything.
Kuro's face was dark. "You are a pirate on the sea, you have the right to say that I died early? I think you have lived enough. You are exactly forty this year, right? Do you think you have lived too long?"
"Really? But I already said that I won't die for the time being, hahaha." Shanks laughed.
