Chapter 225

Lifting the Island and Sinking it

At this moment, Kuro raised his eyebrows.

Although he did not know why the old man was so easy to talk to, this was a good thing. He did not have to be restrained.

“Hey.”

Kuro walked up to Nero and kicked him. At the same time, he released a murderous aura, which made Nero shudder and his expression became much clearer.

“I have something to ask you. Do you know who Lisara and Rhys are?” Kuro asked.

Gugas’s words bothered him.

“Lisara… Lisara…”

Hearing this, Nero, who had just regained a little clarity, went crazy again. His entire body trembled as he began to spout nonsense. “It’s not my fault, Lisara. It’s not me who wants to burn you to death, not me!”

Well, crazy again.

“Lida, Crowe, get on the ship and bring this old man up.”

Kuro pointed at Nero.

Crowe pushed up his glasses and grabbed the old man. This crazy man only knew how to shout something about atonement and did not know how to resist. He was easily brought onto the ship.

Kuro faced the town and looked at these huge buildings. He smacked his lips and touched the ground with his palm.

Q: How can I be safe after reaching a dangerous island?

A: Raise the island and sink it into the sea!

“Lion Wei Imperial Ground Scroll!”

The seawater surged and squeezed towards the town as if there was a great pressure.

Rumble…

The town began to crack, and the tall and beautiful buildings collapsed into pieces. The earth cracked, and a large crack appeared. The entire town rose little by little under this huge roar.

When the island leaves the sea, it will naturally cause the sea to flow backward.

“Hold the rudder! Don’t be knocked over by the waves!”

Crowe staggered and almost lost his balance and immediately commanded.

Battleships are not so easy to withstand the turbulent sea.

Just as he finished speaking, Kuro waved Autumn Water in the direction of the Battleship. The Battleship flew up and landed in the distant sea, escaping the seawater vortex.

The Battleship landed on the calm sea outside the whirlpool, causing a wave. Crowe turned his head and watched a town leave the sea and float on the sea. He couldn’t help but sigh.

“No matter when I look at it, I still feel shocked.”

Devil Fruit’s ability, in the hands of some people, can sometimes turn into great power and achieve miracles.

Kuro clenched his palm, and the buildings in the town completely collapsed at this moment. Land and building fragments rolled together and became a solid lion head, wrapping the flame monsters that were shattered by weapons inside.

“I’ll seal you in the sea and see who you can take revenge on.”

Kuro pressed his palm down and the big solid ball suddenly fell into the sea and sank.

He had no time to look for the culprit in the depths and then ask him the reason before killing him.

It was easy to guess the current situation. People like Nero had burned a woman named Lisara to death, and the man named Les wanted revenge, which led to the current situation.

If this curse had started five years ago or even earlier, that person might have been in this kingdom for even longer. For him to not be discovered for such a long time, it means that his forbearance is very strong.

At least his intelligence is not low. Facing such a person, he would be crazy to go inside the kingdom.

There are a few dangerous auras like Gugas in Observation Haki alone.

It would be fine if he could find different auras of living people. He could also take a look and execute a decapitation tactic. The key is that the person behind the scenes hid too deeply and those crazy auras completely covered them.

It would take forever to find it.

He already had the information he needed. Now, he just needed to make a judgment.

What is the judgment of a kingdom full of dead people who only rely on their ability to maintain normal living scenes?

Demon Slayer Token and Sinking Sea, choose one.

If he sank into the sea, at least he could choose a specific time. The Demon Slayer Token did not have a time. They were already pitiful enough. Kuro did not want them to not even enjoy that peace during the day.

“Next…”

Kuro looked at the town behind him that was exposed because of the loss of the gate. He was about to clench his fingers, but at this moment, he suddenly smiled. “Have I appeared!”

In Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki’s perception, there was an aura different from that of madness that appeared on the top of a huge palace behind the town.

Kuro rose and flew over. As he approached, he saw a black-robed man standing at the top with a hood covering his face. He looked up at Kuro in the sky.

“Marine, why are you meddling in other people’s business?” His voice was soft and full of reason without the slightest hint of madness.

“It’s you, that bastard named Les.” Kuro gritted his teeth and said, “You have caused a lot of trouble. You can even destroy a country.”

“Country…”

Rhys’s hand reached out of his black robe. It looked so sickly pale, as if he had not seen sunlight in a long time.

“What is a country, Marine, do you have a country?”

Of course, Kuro has a country. Although the town of Shields has a naval base, it was obtained from the kingdom that it belongs to. The legal power is still in the hands of the kingdom.

“From the looks of it, you also have a country, but if you have a country, why don’t you stay there? Don’t you have a sense of identity? You, who don’t have a sense of identity with the country, chose to go to sea and be a Marine. Then, I, who was abandoned by the country, have no reason to take revenge on the country.”

His tone was sincere and filled with a sense of matter-of-factness.

“Look at your bitter look…”

Kuro spat out the smoke. “What? Because your woman was burned to death by the people here, you simply killed everyone? I hate people like you the most. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Whoever burns your woman, burn them. Don’t be angry!”

After saying this, Kuro felt a chill around him. He smiled and said, “You can’t stare me to death. You should put down your hat and stare at me. Otherwise, who can see your expression clearly?”

“Tada Kingdom is a doctrinal country…”

A voice sounded from the black robe again.

“There are no doctors here. When they get sick, they can only be saved by the church priests. The way they save people is to collect money and give them a bottle of so-called holy water. Holy water does have the effect of treating illness, but the effect is too weak. If it is usual, they can still deal with it.”

“Fifteen years ago, there was a great plague here. The holy water had no effect. Countless people died in the plague, including my parents and sister. The population of the kingdom was extremely low. Everyone was worried that they would not live past the next day.”

“Later, a doctor came with advanced medical experience and cured the patient. Everyone in the Kingdom of Tada received the doctor’s favor.”

“But the church was afraid that the doctor would affect their status, so they asked the people to tie the doctor up. The people did as they were told. Even though they were saved by that doctor, they still did as they were told and burned her alive one night.”

“Ah…”

Rhys looked up at the dark night sky. “It’s a night like this. No moon, no stars, just fire and the laughter of the abominations.”

“This country should not have existed from that day.”
