Chapter 66 If we can't reach an agreement, then let's not talk about it at all!
"A fight is about to break out—!"
"Don't push me!!"
Bucky pushed the clueless Mochi down and peeked out from the bushes first, his red nose standing out in the moonlight.
"This tense atmosphere... it's incredible!" He exclaimed, his eyes wide with amazement.
"Boss Bucky, aren't we here to watch? Why are we hiding?" The henchman behind him scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Idiot! Is that even a question?" another pirate immediately blurted out.
"Lord Buggy must be afraid that his aura is too strong and will affect those two's performance! That's why he deliberately hid, giving them enough space to fight!"
"Oh, I see!" The younger brother who asked the question suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up.
What else is there to say?
"Awesome... Awesome... Buggy! Buggy!..."
The underlings immediately murmured in unison, their voices filled with admiration and fervor.
...........
"Lend me all your abilities, then go to the apartment."
Kuroro spoke expressionlessly.
No one in the group spoke again, and no one objected.
Instead, they all placed their hands on Kuroro, lending him their abilities, and then jumped into the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] one after another.
Everyone knew perfectly well that their leader had lost his temper.
As partners who have been through countless trials together, the spiders know:
When Kuroro is truly enraged, it's not when his expression is ferocious... not when he roars and shouts... not when his killing intent boils over...
And it was precisely this expressionless demeanor.
Whenever Kuroro acts like this, it means that the other person has touched a forbidden zone that Kuroro absolutely cannot tolerate, and it also means that he is about to fight to the death...
It's been so long since we've seen this side of Kuroro...
Pike turned back to look at Kuroro's expressionless profile, his thoughts drifting away.
Ever since their leader's Nen ability evolved, it seems that nothing is difficult for him anymore.
Meanwhile, those around him... their strength gradually fell far behind his.
In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone, including Uvogin, could feel it...
They don't seem to be able to really help Kuroro.
He alone is enough to solve everything...
Although no one said it, everyone was desperately trying to become stronger, to become even stronger, and to become even more useful to Kuroro...
Therefore, everyone was incredibly excited to arrive on this dark continent.
This place is full of those miracle fruits that can enhance their power and make them stronger.
However... this place is also teeming with monstrously powerful beings...
Parker's hands unconsciously clenched and then relaxed...
"Heh... how weak they really are..."
"You have to survive... Kuroro..."
.........
Things went wrong...
Kuroro's expression was extremely serious.
He didn't know why Kizaru would appear here at this time, and it seemed he really intended to attack them.
Kizaru's appearance was completely unexpected, since he wasn't even in Loguetown at this point in the original story...
Kuroro frowned.
"What exactly led to this moment...?"
If Kuroro knew that Smoker had been relentlessly pursuing them based solely on their connection to that small island off the coast of Sorbet,
Furthermore, they exaggerated their information through some association and reported it to the Navy.
That's why Kizaru ended up here... He probably wants to kill Smoker the most...
Kuroro doesn't see himself as Luffy, with an incredibly powerful background, or someone who would let Kizaru show mercy when facing him.
Therefore, the opponent is unlikely to show any mercy in this battle.
And most importantly... Bonney was captured, so she couldn't steal the Year-Year Fruit!
That means I can't use the move "Year Fruit - Twisted Future" to improve my attributes.
Kuroro gave a bitter smile...
That was too fast!
It was so fast that Kuroro couldn't react at all...
He couldn't abandon Bonnie and leave alone; that wouldn't be in line with his personality, nor with the captain's.
Therefore, only one battle remains...
Feeling the surge in his own power after all the crew members lent him their abilities, Kuroro silently planned his next battle strategy:
The first step... is to touch Bonney in Kizaru's hands!
Make good use of information asymmetry!
The amount of intelligence is the main factor that determines the outcome of battles between ability users!
This isn't just empty talk.
Kizaru has no idea what his true abilities are or what the conditions for activating them are!
For targets whose abilities have already been stolen, Kuroro can steal their abilities again simply by using his body.
Therefore, as long as he touches Bonney, he can steal the power of the Year-Year Fruit and transform himself back into his state three years in the future.
Only in that state can I numerically contend with a monster like Kizaru.
The second step... is to use one's diverse abilities to deal with him.
Kizaru's Armament Haki is definitely superior to mine, and he also possesses Observation Haki that allows him to foresee the future... His physical combat, Devil Fruit abilities are all top-tier.
If Kuroro's combat power is 7000 at this moment, then his is at least 20,000 or more!
Therefore, only a constant stream of new abilities can truly be one's trump card in dealing with him!
The third step... means of survival...
I have already secretly told Nobunaga that I went to find the Revolutionary Army.
Dragon won't just stand by and watch Bonnie get taken away!
Only if I can stall until Dragon arrives, then in a two-on-one situation, I'll have a chance to snatch Bonney from Kizaru and escape this place!
Kuroro raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Kizaru.
Unfortunately, Kizaru was holding Bonney, so the instantaneous displacement technique couldn't be applied to individuals who were imprisoned; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!
I'll swap her with me, then we'll all go into the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] and let Kizaru find her!
"........well."
Kuroro desperately wants a billion, having already exchanged it for the Door-Door Fruit.
This way, they can open a door next to Kizaru unexpectedly, snatch Bonney away, and then make a quick getaway!
The doors in the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] require users to manually set the entrance and exit points by touch, unlike the Door-Door Fruit which allows users to open doors from any location conveniently.
"Damn it... I'll never waste money again!"
Kuroro looked regretful. After all the members had entered the [Four-Dimensional Apartment], he closed the door and began to stretch his muscles.
"Eurasia, let's discuss this one last time~"
"Could you give Bonney back to me? In exchange, I'll release Lucci and the others..." Kuroro looked at Kizaru and asked tentatively.
"Oh dear, oh dear~ That won't do~" Kizaru still had that smug look on his face, his eyes filled with a meaningful gaze.
"After all, Bonnie is much more important than those other people."
"So, we can't reach an agreement." Kuroro's eyes gradually turned cold.
"That......"
Kuroro's figure vanished from the spot, and the blue book of the Thief's Ultimate Techniques flipped through thin air.
A dark purple, poisoned dagger flashed from his right hand and was plunged viciously into the unconscious Lu Qi below.
"Let's not talk about it anymore—"
