Chapter 23

A Cigarette After the Event

Today, there are executions in Roguetown. There are violent winds, rainstorms, clamors, and executions.

What is a pirate’s execution of a pirate?

Marine’s execution of pirates is called execution!

The pirates who took advantage of the chaos to plunder were all killed by Kuro.

“One Blade Dovenom.”

It was another street. The fleeing pirates did not even have time to run when they saw a figure pass by quickly and appear in front of them.

Kuro ignored the head that soared into the sky behind him and slashed the door with his blade, causing blood to spill out.

He swung his blade and looked at a shivering green-haired man in the alley.

The green hair curled up and hid behind the trash can with his hands on his head. As he shook, he whispered, “You can’t see me, you can’t see me.”

Vaguely, he felt an aura in front of him. When he looked up, he screamed and crawled back a few meters.

“I am not a pirate, I am not!”

It had a tall green airplane head and two black marks hanging from the corners of its bull eyes to its temples. Its mouth was very big and when it grinned, it had a mouthful of sharp teeth, making people wonder if it was of Merman blood.

Bartolomeo, the mafia leader who rules as many as 150 streets in his territory.

Seeing Kuro looking over, Bartolomeo waved his hand and almost cried, “I am really not a pirate, don’t kill me!”

Bartolomeo was very melancholic. Today, he was actually quite shocked. He saw a scene in Roguetown that he thought was enough to be printed in his life. There won’t be one in his life. Before he could come back to his senses, the pirates riot.

So be it. It has nothing to do with him. It’s fine as long as he doesn’t destroy his own industry. After all, most of those rioting pirates were under him before.

But soon, there was news that many pirates died in the streets, most of which were streets ruled by themselves, and all of them lost their heads.

This is even worse. How can you destroy his territory? Some people are even his underlings.

Bartolomeo angrily began to patrol the streets he ruled. He would find the culprit.

Then he really found it.

Then, he felt that there was another scene in his life.

What a joke!

It was impossible to see the figure clearly, nor could he see the move clearly. He only knew that the Marine in the black coat flashed his saber and everyone’s heads were gone, which made his neck cold!

This kind of person is impossible to deal with!

Even if he erected the barrier he was proud of, he felt that it was useless.

“Then don’t be a pirate, and be a good gangster with a promising career.”

Kuro glanced at him and continued forward.

Bartolomeo waited for the footsteps to get further and further away before he carefully poked his head out and made sure that the other party had gone. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and collapse to the ground.

His body was already covered in cold sweat.

After lying down for a while, he got up and looked at the headless corpses on the small street. He gritted his teeth and said with a trace of fear, “Monster!”

… .

“I’m starving!”

Leda punched a fleeing pirate and swallowed. The sound of her stomach made her yearn to eat.

But she didn’t dare.

She had never seen Kuro’s attitude before, and she had seen many headless pirate corpses along the way. If she cut corners, it would feel very bad.

She had been maintaining this form for a while. Even if she did not use all her combat power, the consumption was huge.

Although she is a fruit user and the essence energy she absorbs will make her fight more bravely, it does not say that she is not hungry.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been hungry for years.

“Hey, Crowe, hurry up!”

Leda kicked a pirate who ran past her and shouted at Crowe not far away.

“Shave!”

Crowe quickly rushed to a pirate and his claws tore five deep wounds on his chest.

Many pirates have not had the time to take hostages. Marine is dealing with these pirates and they should be captured alive, but when Crowe thought of his boss’s cold face, he did not dare to catch him and killed him.

He glanced up just in time to see Smoker turn into smoke and fly over.

“Tsk, ability users are really convenient.” Crowe curled his lips and continued to kill pirates.

Smoker in the air was actually more shocked. Looking down from the sky, he saw more directly.

A street …

Two streets …

Three streets …

He saw at least seven streets filled with headless corpses.

“This kid is really angry. Is he a guy who cares about civilians…”

Smoker saw a group of pirates and swooped over.

In terms of catching pirates, I won’t lose to you! Smoker thought.

In the street, Kuro left another body behind him.

He revealed a relaxed smile. Under his Haki perception, there were no more pirates holding hostages.

Marine will handle the rest.

Kuro looked down at the saber in his hand. Without Haki, this saber had reached its limit. After slashing so many people, it was already cracked.

“It seems that only Famous Sword can withstand my torture. Ordinary goods are ordinary goods. Every time I cut people, I can’t get used to it.”

Kuro casually threw it away, took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and blew out the smoke.

“Ah… I feel better.”

A cigarette is better than tenryubito.

Without the hostage-taking pirates, Marines can naturally exert their full combat power. In addition to a few people with considerable combat power, it is too easy to catch pirates.

Soon, the riot was stopped by Marines.

In a ruin, Smoker smoked a cigarette and watched Marine escort the pirates forward.

Tashigi stood to the side with her knife, her face a little gloomy.

Crowe sat on a large rock. The reflection of his glasses made it impossible to see his expression.

Leda maintained her maiden appearance and kicked the pirates passing by from time to time.

You made me unable to eat happily!

The atmosphere was a little dull.

“Hey, what are you doing? Why are you so quiet? You should be happy that you caught a pirate. Smoker, you stopped a big riot.”

Kuro walked over with a cigar in his mouth and smiled.

“Kuro!”

When Leda saw Kuro’s expression, she looked happy and returned to her little girl appearance.

“Hey, are you done?”

“Go! You can’t say anything good at such a young age. What do you mean I’m good? I’ve always been good!”

Kuro flicked Leda’s forehead.

Instead of being angry, Leda was even happier. She took out some potato chips and ate them.

“Kuro…”

Smoker looked at Kuro with a complicated expression and said, “You killed so many people, are you finally going to announce your existence to the world?”

“Ah? What? What do you mean I killed so many people? Who did I kill? Where is the evidence? I didn’t do anything.”

Kuro’s face was full of denial. “You solved the riot. As the Colonel in charge of Rogue Town, this is your duty. It’s none of my business.”

Unless the dead can come back to life and point at his nose and say that he was killed by Kuro, Kuro will never admit it.

He had roamed the world for so many years and relied on one word: stability.

“As for ‘safe’ justice… Forget it, it’s your business how you maintain justice. From my personal point of view, you are a very excellent Marine and I look forward to working with you.”

Smoker shook his head and suddenly asked, “What do you think of the Revolutionary Army?”
