Kuro?
Hearing Marco's shout, Choba, who was making medicine, subconsciously glanced in that direction. With just one look, his whole body… not quite a human body jumped up and exclaimed:
"It's the censer general!!"
Kuro's face fell. "I am Kim Jung, say it again, Kim Jung!"
Choba was stunned. "Eh? Didn't he say that he is a Vice-Admiral?"
Kuro's neck stiffened. "Is that your focus!"
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, and the frost on the bodies of those semi-Green Ghost people turned into white airflow and rolled towards Kuro, which was absorbed by a woman with a curvy figure.
"Okay! Okay!"
The pirates and warriors moved their bodies and found that there was no longer any cold feeling. They all cheered.
"This…"
Choba's mouth was wide open, he didn't understand how it was done. He was making laborious medicine and the Ice Ghost disappeared just like that?
"Yo, Raccoon Doctor, long time no see."
Fanny raised her hand to greet him. The extent of her movements made her chest tremble for a while, making people dizzy.
"It's reindeer, bastard!"
Choba called out subconsciously and then looked at Fanny and quickly remembered this person. "Ah! You are the doctor who can't remember the medicine!"
Back in Sabaody Archipelago, they had crossed paths.
"Did you add golden herb to your hunger pill? It's much better than shaking herb." Choba remembered the pill that he pointed out as wrong.
Fanny nodded. "Did you say Marine's 'Strength Pill'? It's in. Very good. Thank you, Dr. Raccoon."
Choba's eyes turned into wavy lines as his body twisted. "It's a reindeer, bastard~"
Beside him, Basil had a strange look on his face. "Strength pills? Don't the side effects of that thing make you lose your appetite?"
He remembered this matter the best. Fanny swore that her 'strength pill' had reached the Greater Mastery stage and would not make people hungry. After eating it, besides becoming stronger, she would also be full.
At that time, for some reason, Basil believed Fanny and really ran to test the medicine. In the end, he was too strong and did not feel hungry. It seemed that there was no problem.
But this thing can never feel hungry. The feeling of fullness is too strong, and it can't eat anything for several days in a row. But where does the nutrition that the human body must absorb come from?
Coupled with the increase in strength, the consumption of the human body is even faster. The positive effect of the pill is only half an hour, and the side effects can last for several days. Helpless, Basil can only run to get a drip and survive the side effects period.
The pills are better than the previous hunger, but you can't say that the side effects are flawless, at least it is a big problem.
Fanny looked up and said, "It's already very good. I'm already correcting it. General Kuro praised my pills and said that they are good for weight loss!"
You're still proud. What happened?
You're a doctor. Your medicine has a lot of side effects. Don't you feel ashamed!
Basil opened his mouth to say something, but he realized that Fanny had always been like this and didn't know what to say.
Marco saved this awkward side in time. He asked again:
"Hey, Kuro, you haven't answered my question. Why are you here? You Marines never step into the second half of the New World. What are you doing here?"
Kuro chuckled. "You don't seem to understand? Marco, you're an old man at sea. Don't forget that once upon a time, Marine's footprints were all over the world. Stepping into the second half is not without precedent."
A few decades ago, Marines were indeed all over the world, but there were too many pirates, and they could not stand fighting pirates all year round. Finally, under the control of the World Government, they gave up the territory in the second half of the Grand Line and focused on the first half and the four seas, which is why they are called the 'New World'.
Marco shrugged and shook his head. "Hey, are you trying to take this opportunity to arrest everyone here? Aren't you afraid of starting a war with all the pirates?"
"Don't sound so serious, Marco."
Kuro bared his teeth, revealing a flash of white light. "At least if you don't resist, I might let you go back and continue to fight with Tiki. He hasn't been doing well recently. You have a chance to take revenge instead of getting involved in the Country of Peace's shit."
When Marco heard this, his bespectacled eyes narrowed and the pineapple hairstyle on his head moved. Then he looked back at Choba and looked up at the top of the Fangtian Guardian Tower. He turned his head to face Kuro and sighed:
"I can't."
He shook his head and said in a relaxed tone, "Well, I'm already here. If I leave now, I will be scolded."
"Ha…"
Kuro placed his left hand on the hilt of his saber and his gaze gradually sharpened. "You're not giving way?"
"Sa, it's hard to say." Marco said softly, "Anyway, thank you for your people removing the Ice Ghost and letting me fight freely."
Without these Ice Ghosts, he didn't need to use Cyan Flame to maintain the treatment and freed up his hands.
He would definitely not win, but if he dragged it out, it would definitely not be a problem.
The pirates who originally belonged to the Beast Pirates and the warriors of the Country of Peace suddenly stood up and shouted, "We will help you!"
"You helped us maintain time and keep us awake. We are on your side!"
"Yeah, so what if it's Marine, don't even think about going in!"
The pirates held their weapons tightly and faced the Marines with smiles on their faces.
Although the samurai did not know what a pirate was, they had seen Marco and Choba's efforts before. Now that someone was against them, they naturally had to be moral, so they also drew their weapons and aimed at Kuro and others.
"Well…"
Fanny raised her hand weakly and asked in confusion, "Didn't I save you?"
"…"
The pirates and samurai looked at each other and loosened their grip on their weapons.
That seems to be the case?
Their attention was on Marco and Chopper's efforts and they forgot the main point. They seemed to have been saved by this woman.
"But Marines are the enemy!" Pirate shouted.
"But we don't know what Marine is and we have never seen it," the samurai said, puzzled.
Under the seclusion of the country, the Country of Peace, which has not contacted the outside world for a long time, naturally does not know anything about the world.
World Government, Marine, Joining Countries, how would they know these things?
These people were not on the same side in the first place. There were pirates and warriors who helped Luffy. They were fighting against each other before. Because of Quinn's "Ice Ghost", they were attacked together and unified the front line.
Now that the Ice Ghost Virus is gone, there is naturally another disagreement.
Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel over this, Marco hurriedly said, "They are the enemies of Straw Hat."
Straw hat?!
'Luffy?'
The savior who is fighting Kaido?
When the warriors heard this, their faces were solemn and they gripped their blades again.
"Then I'm sorry!"
A samurai said in a deep voice: "Sorry, this person called Marine, although you saved us, we want to save the country more and will not let you in!"
"Look…"
Marco smiled and said, "No one agrees."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, his body stiffened, and a scarlet wind rushed out in front of him and blew in their direction at an extremely fast speed. The fishy smell that erupted from it made Marco lose his focus for a moment.
Is that… Haki?!
No, that's not right!
Marco perked up and looked. There was no Scarlet Wind, but the man glared at him.
Clank!
The sound of a weapon hitting the ground.
Marco looked around and saw that everyone around him was frozen and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably. Their weapons did not even react when they fell to the ground.
He gritted his teeth and spat out, "Killing intent!"
Kuro approached with a smile. "Good quality, none of them fainted."
"Stop lying!"
Marco tensed his body, and the cyan flame around him became more violent, revealing a guarded look.
They did not faint because this guy did not take them seriously at all. The amount of killing intent he used was not worth mentioning!
But no matter what, he had to protect this man!
If he goes in, who knows how chaotic the battle will be!
Tap, tap, tap…
However, Kuro's steps seem to have a demonic nature. In his eyes, the closer this man gets, the more ferocious he becomes. It is as if he is not a human, but a fierce beast with strong killing intent, opening its mouth to devour people.
Gradually, he looked at the dire beast in a daze.
"Roar!"
The dire beast suddenly roared, making Marco shudder. His eyes flashed and the dire beast transformed into Kuro.
He is very close to me!
When did he get close? Why didn't he notice?
Marco gritted his teeth and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. "Illusion?"
He was a veteran. With a little thought, he knew what situation he had just entered. It was an illusion formed by killing intent.
Kuro stood in front of him and looked into his eyes. Just as Marco could not stand it anymore and was about to attack, Kuro smiled at him and said softly, "Your stamina is so severely consumed, are you worthy of blocking me?"
With that, Kuro passed by this person and passed by Marco with his subordinates, as if there was no one around.
"Rest well. I'm counting on you to give that bastard Tiki a little trouble on the sea."
Behind him, Kuro's faint voice sounded.
A group of Marines entered the gate. The footsteps disappeared and the surroundings became quiet.
"Ha, ha…"
Marco suddenly gasped for breath, as if he had been pulled out of the water. Even the cyan flames on his body could not stop his sweat.
He clenched his fists unwillingly, but he thought of something and smiled bitterly and sighed. "It's getting more and more terrifying…"
Compared to the young Kuro when his father was still alive, the current Kuro is obviously much more terrifying. From a young beast, he has completely evolved into a dire beast.
He admitted that at that moment he was absent-minded and afraid.
He did not want to die. He still had the mission to let the remaining 'family members' live. This was the mission that his father had given him.
By comparison …
The matter of the Country of Peace is not as important as his mission!
But is this really okay?
Ace's brother is still in the battle…
He is also very important!
Marco gritted his teeth and wanted to turn around and chase after him. "I still can't…"
"Marco!!"
Suddenly, an angry voice came from not far away. "What did you do? You killed my beloved brothers!"
In that direction, Perospero approached with a group of people with a face full of anger. He obviously saw the triplets who died here.
"Okay, don't hesitate."
At this time, Marco showed a smile of guilt or relief. "There are new people to stop. Sorry, Luffy…"
