Chapter 258
Stagnated Growth
Who is the overlord of the sea.
World Government? Marine? Revolutionary Army? Pirates?
‘Neither.’
It’s these Sea Kings that inhabit the sea!
Small Sea Kings can prevent ships from sailing in the sea.
A large Sea King can threaten the survival of an island.
As for the super-large Sea Kings, that is to make the island cease to exist.
This is a super-large Sea King. Even the largest little Ozzy that Kuro has seen is just a gap between its teeth.
How did such a big anglerfish appear…
A slash was thrown out. For a Sea King that could swallow an island, it was at most an additional wound. At the mouth of the anglerfish, a trace of blood skin that had been minced into minced meat was lifted.
The anglerfish’s eyes clearly showed pain, but this pain made it more violent. Its mouth was obviously bigger and the suction force was stronger. The whole island was shaking, the buildings rumbled and a lot of debris fell from the top.
The surrounding residents looked at the huge anglerfish and fell into a panic.
Ordinary people can’t deal with this size, even Leda. Maybe she can do it if she takes enough energy, but there is no time for her now.
Kuro floated in the sky, and the smoke rising from the cigar at the corner of his mouth made it difficult to see his expression. He held the handle of the knife and put it back in the sheath, and took a posture.
“One Blade Flow: Hundred Shadow Slash!”
One slash, one hundred slashes.
He waved his saber and hundreds of black and gold slashes went straight to the anglerfish, blasting on its body and lifting its skin, revealing the scars.
A hundred slashes made the suction force of the lantern fish’s mouth stop for a moment.
“Damn, do you think I’m flipping a knife for you!”
Kuro gritted his teeth and said.
This was just an ordinary slash with Haki. If he used hundreds of slashes with high-level Haki in one go, he would not be able to withstand it.
“Poof!”
After the stagnation, the anglerfish suddenly turned from sucking to spraying. A large amount of seawater formed a tsunami wave and surged down from above.
This amount can make the island flood back and forth three or four times.
“My… God!”
In the distance, Basil’s mouth was wide open as he watched this scene in a daze. Such a wave can’t be stopped at all. It’s not something that human power can stop!
Even Mr. Kuro, who is also an ability user, can’t be overturned by the waves.
“Run away!”
The residents shouted and fled in panic.
But where can this wave go?
“Lion Wei…”
Kuro welcomed the waves and stretched out his arm. The moment his palm touched the seawater and the other seawater was almost on him, he activated his ability.
“Imperial City Scroll!”
The overwhelming seawater rolled in at this moment and turned into a huge lion head, roaring and suddenly hitting the anglerfish.
The seawater hit the anglerfish and separated from its body. Its momentum made the anglerfish move back a distance. The seawater entered the sea and rolled up waves, making the sea surface as turbulent as the stormy weather.
If it was just inanimate objects, Kuro was confident that he was also at the forefront in terms of application.
Perhaps there will be more special Devil Fruit, but this anglerfish can’t be.
Even though Kuro tried his best to control it, the movement caused by the water entering the sea still drowned the beach and the port. The water level began to spread nearby, making Kuro grimace.
“You f*cking came to the sea with me. If I don’t exhaust you to death, my name is not Kuro!”
If this was on the sea, he would have time to waste with this anglerfish, but this is his territory now. If he spends time here, he will be fine, but something will happen on the island.
Because it is too close to the island, no matter what moves are used, if the range is large, it will affect the island, and if it is too small, it is useless for the size of the anglerfish.
“Ah…”
The anglerfish continued to open its mouth and made a dull sound that made people’s scalp tingle.
It seemed that it still wanted to continue sucking, as if it really wanted to suck the island in.
However, its gaze was not on the island. Its huge eyes were staring in the direction of Kuro.
That desire was keenly detected in front of Kuro, who opened his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki.
“I?”
Kuro pointed at himself with a strange expression. “My luck is not that bad. I really don’t cheat people.”
Even the heavens can’t stand me, sending a super-large Sea King to teach me a lesson?
It can’t be that unreliable.
Kuro did not believe it and moved to the side. Sure enough, the anglerfish’s eyeball turned slightly.
It really is him…
“Could it be that he still likes any part of my body? Hey, Fish, do you want my cloak? Marine cloak, symbol of glory, you can’t buy it even if you have money.” He shouted at the anglerfish.
The anglerfish did not speak, and Kuro did not have the Voice of All Things, so he naturally would not let it understand, so it opened its mouth wider and prepared to use the same trick.
This scene felt familiar to Leda.
It was as if he had heard such rumors somewhere.
She stared at the huge eyeball of the anglerfish. As its eyeball turned, Leda looked at Kuro, who was moving in the air. As he moved, the earrings were even more dazzling in the sunlight.
Subconsciously, Leda had an idea.
“Kuro! Pure gold! It’s pure gold!” Leda shouted.
“What is it?”
Kuro looked back at Leda and froze.
Of course, he knew about pure gold. The legendary magical gold that can make people eternal youth. With it, one can achieve true agelessness.
But he didn’t have that thing.
Are my earrings made of pure gold?
‘Don’t be ridiculous.’
The World Government has this thing for me? He is not Im.
Wait …
“Pure gold? Lantern fish?”
He touched his chin and fell into deep thought. In his memory, there seemed to be such a thing.
“That’s Lord Lantern! Legend has it that as long as there is pure gold, it will exist! The light in your ear is very likely to make Lord Lantern misunderstand. It yearns for that light, draw it away!” Leda roared.
Lantern fish and pure gold?
It’s getting more and more familiar…
“Forget it, let’s not care about it for now. You want my light, right? Okay!”
Kuro quickly flew forward and appeared on the side of the anglerfish, stabbing it under the eye.
“So what if you can turn into a giant of light? If you want light, then come!”
Chi!!!
Kuro appeared under the eyes of the anglerfish and made sure that he could see the light of his earrings. Then, he slashed forward and the black saber turned into a straight light, breaking the skin of the anglerfish and bringing Kuro back.
“Ah…”
The anglerfish cried out in pain, but its eyes kept moving towards Kuro. As he moved, its huge body slowly turned around.
He really followed Kuro.
Kuro flew straight forward and left the range of Moe Island. He only stopped when he could only see the outline of Moe Island.
The huge anglerfish also slowly swam over, its head slightly raised, as if it wanted to swallow Kuro.
He looked down at the anglerfish from the sky and a sinister smile appeared on his face. “When I get to this place, I won’t hold back.”
His arm was raised high and then fell heavily.
“Let’s see which is bigger, you or my treasure house!”
The sky suddenly turned black.
It did not become night, but something covered the sky nearby. Above Kuro’s head, countless islands, factories, and weapons formed a black curtain that covered the sky, bringing a heavy feeling.
It was as if the sky had collapsed.
“You will sink into the sea, beast!”
The black curtain quickly descended and objects larger than the anglerfish hit the anglerfish.
The impact of something falling from the sky is naturally incomparable.
Rocks, islands, and weapons hit the body of the anglerfish as if they were going to crush it, leaving a dent all over its body.
The pain made the mouth of the anglerfish bigger, and seawater flowed out of the mouth and into the sea.
That was its stomach juice.
Such a huge impact made it start to vomit.
A large number of fish rushed out of the sea, which were all things that it usually swallowed, including some huge Sea Kings.
In the depths of the mouth, the outline of an island appeared.
Boom!
An island was spat out of the mouth of the anglerfish and poured into the sea, floating on the sea.
This scene made Kuro’s mouth twitch.
Fortunately, he retreated in time. Otherwise, this thing would run over and bite Moe Island, and it would be gone.
After spitting out the island, the body of the anglerfish was obviously flattened. It was not hungry, but it was smashed by Kuro’s treasure house. It turned over on the sea and kept panting. Its breath was like a strong wind, sweeping the sea.
“Another round!”
Kuro’s palm rose and fell, and the object rose to the sky again, ready to hit it again.
However, at this moment, the anglerfish seemed to feel something. One of its eyeballs on the sea looked deeply at Kuro, and then its body sank into the sea.
“Escaped?”
Kuro watched as the huge shadow on the sea gradually shrank. It was obvious that it had entered the deep sea.
This stunned him. He couldn’t raise his arm or drop it.
What is this?
Come over and spit out an island performance for him?
“You even vomited quite a lot.”
Kuro looked at the island below. When the entire island was rolled up and spat out in the belly of the anglerfish, it was probably squeezed and destroyed, leaving obvious traces of compression on the island and making a mess.
But faintly, there were still some architectural outlines that could be seen.
And in the depths, he saw an extremely bright golden light.
Kuro narrowed his eyes and landed. He waved his blade and the wind pressure swept away the nearby buildings. At that moment, the light was even greater and shone on him.
“This is…”
The moment he was illuminated by the light, Kuro felt that something was wrong.
In this world, he would die if he was not careful, so he was very meticulous about his body. He could even feel the slightest movement.
And now it was obvious that he felt that his growth had been halted.
No, to be precise, it was an extremely slow progress. That degree of slowness could almost be regarded as stagnation.
He pried open the ruins around the light and took out a transparent jar. In the jar, a golden pebble was soaking and emitting light.
