NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Die
"It's just that afterward, I need to kill all the people present to be safe."
Thinking of this, the murderous aura in Kuro became increasingly difficult to suppress, and even his subordinates around him subconsciously chose to stay away.
Soon, the distance between the warship and the pirate ship was shortened to less than a hundred meters, and the almost close-range bombardment was blocked by the two men with their weapons.
Bang!
The two ships collided with a deafening noise.
The most intense fight broke out in an instant.
The pirates under Gawain showed an overwhelming advantage in the early stages of the hand-to-hand combat. After all, the skills and experience of both sides were not on the same level.
In just a dozen seconds, more than a dozen bodies were lying on Kuro's ship.
If it hadn't been for the existence of the Nyaban Brothers, the pirates under Kuro would have been completely suppressed in the first encounter.
"What's wrong with these people?"
"Ordinary pirates have this level of swordsmanship?"
"I'm afraid they are from some swordsmanship school!"
Sham waved his claws to deflect the blade that was slashing toward him, but just in the next moment, more people rushed over excitedly, and swords and claws clashed again.
He and Buchi barely manage to deal with the pirates under Gawain's command, but their situation is extremely difficult.
… … …
On the battlefield, the two captains tacitly did not take any action. They exchanged glances and sensed absolute confidence in each other's eyes.
"When did a person like you emerge in the East Blue?"
Kuro slowly wears a pair of black-furred gloves, and the silver Cat Claws reflect cold light in the air.
"There have been many people from the East Blue. Some have won the title of king in the New World, while others have been praised by the Marines as heroes who saved the world."
Gawain said calmly: "Would you like to be my crew?"
"Oh."
Kuro sneered:
"If it were a few years ago, I would have considered taking you under my wing, but now I'm tired of playing the pirate game, so I can only send you to hell."
"That's a pity."
As soon as the voice fell, both of them attacked at the same time.
Whoosh!
There were two explosions in the air that almost completely overlapped with each other, and two figures, one black and one white, rushed towards each other at the same time.
Sparks flew in the air as the Cat Claws and the knight's sword collided, followed by a series of dense raindrop-like sounds of metal clashing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sparks flew in the air, but only the sound was heard, and no one was seen.
Both of them specialized in speed.
One has mastered a skill that makes him so fast that he's almost invisible to the naked eye.
While the other one awakens the swiftness feature, his nerve reaction and sword-drawing speed are superior to ordinary people, and he even has a strong physique. He can be said to be a real monster.
As the confrontation became more intense, the weapons of both men began to show gaps to varying degrees, but the looks in each other's eyes became brighter.
Kuro kept swinging the Cat Claws in his hand, but he felt that the long sword in Gawain's hand was like a poisonous snake that could penetrate any hole. Even if it was just a tiny flaw, Gawain would seize the opportunity and stab it with his sword.
Whoosh!
A silver-white sword flashed, and blood splattered; Kuro was injured.
Although only the skin on his shoulder was scratched, Kuro's eyes could not help but narrow.
"Suppressed!"
"I was suppressed in the aspect of speed, which is my best skill!"
"Interesting! Really interesting!"
Kuro's suppressed fighting spirit was fully awakened in the increasingly fierce battle, and the pain in his body made his spirit even more excited.
The opposite is the increasing speed.
Originally, people around could barely see Kuro's afterimage, but now, even the afterimage can't be seen; only claw marks keep appearing on the ship's deck.
"It's the Pussyfoot Maneuver!"
"The captain has taken action seriously!"
"Oh no!"
A member of the Black Cat Pirates had a terrified look on his face. He just let out a scream, and the next moment, a row of neat scratches appeared on his chest, deep enough to penetrate the bones and injure his internal organs.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell on his back.
At the same time, the members of the Black Cat Pirates who reacted no longer had the will to fight and retreated one after another, some even jumping into the sea because only in this way could they avoid Kuro's indiscriminate attack.
This trick called Pussyfoot Maneuver is simply beyond the control of humans!
"Sham, go!"
"The captain has used that ability. This is now his territory. No one can survive!"
"If we continue to stay here, even we will be-"
Before Buchi could finish his words, several scars appeared on his shoulders.
Fortunately, he had thick skin and was not seriously injured, but the fear of this move in his heart was fully awakened at this moment.
"Quick!"
"That White Knight Gawain is dead. No enemy has ever survived this move!"
"Even pirates returning from the Grand Line with bounties exceeding 20 million Belly have been badly hurt by this move!"
Buchi covered his wound, turned around, and went into the cabin. Sham raised his hand to repel the attacking pirates and followed him in.
On deck, one pirate after another fell down in a daze, and some even had their heads and limbs chopped off.
In just a few seconds, except for Gawain, there was no one left standing on the deck.
Kuro, who has used his Pussyfoot Maneuver, is like the God of death; he reaps lives with a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Once this move is used, I can barely control the direction. As for what I will hit, it all depends on luck!"
Kuro's voice came from left to right as if it was everywhere.
"It turns out that it was Morgan's fault. All my plans were so perfect."
"As long as I kill him, I can successfully shed my identity as a pirate and have a peaceful and comfortable life."
"But as long as I kill you, everything will be fine!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck!"
"Yeah?"
Gawain looked calm.
His eyes moved rapidly and followed Kuro, who was moving at a high speed and in an irregular manner.
In addition to transforming his body to make it faster, swiftness also greatly improved his nerve reflexes.
Things that are invisible to ordinary people are clearly visible to him!
"Your abilities are even better than I thought!"
Gawain exclaimed: "I am increasingly tempted to recruit you under my wing and make you my right-hand man, Kuro!"
"Stop joking!"
Kuro's angry roar was heard in the air. At this moment, he felt that the man in front of him was extremely stupid. He was still thinking about such things when he was on the verge of death.
"Die!"
While moving at an extremely high speed, Kuro's eyes barely caught sight of the last figure on the deck.
Who else but Gawain?
After trying several times, he finally placed Gawain on his path; then his claws spread as he rushed towards Gawain...
At this moment, he almost saw Gawain's death, his chest and abdomen torn open, his internal organs spilling out onto the ground.
But the next moment…
Bang!
A sharp explosion resounded through the sky, and Kuro's rushing figure suddenly stopped. He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a cannonball, and his internal organs were about to come out of his mouth.
The surrounding scene gradually became clear. Kuro came out of his dazed state and found that the hilt of the sword in Gawain's hand was directly against his chest.
Kuro was not interested in the pain in his body and looked at Gawain in shock: "Can you see it?!"
"Yes, I can see it."
