Outside the cave, Kuro slowly wandered here. He bit his cigar, listening to the sounds of fighting coming from inside, and blew out the smoke.
"Russiru Kuro."
Beside the cave, a figure walked out and said seriously: "Please don't hinder us."
The man was slender and wrapped in a hood, only revealing a delicate face.
"You're the one, why don't you take a break...forget it."
Kuro said with great interest: "You should have discovered me very early, right? Although the aura is only here, your ability can see me. Why didn't you do anything?"
When he gave the pirates on the island a free lifetime tour of hell, he felt someone watching him several times. The only one who could make him feel like he was being watched on this island was the one who ate the 'Reflection Fruit' A capable person.
If this guy can form a 'reflection' from the location of Pegasus Island to here, then it will be very simple to do this.
Siutika did not answer Kuro's words, "I saw your performance in the top war. Hernando is very confident and thinks he can deal with you, but I don't think so, so..."
What?
Want to fuck me early?
You don’t have that object either.
Kuro raised his eyebrows, placed his left hand on the handle of the autumn water knife at his waist, and put his thumb on the blade, preparing to kill this ability user with one strike.
For those with abilities, he usually solves them quickly to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
"I hope you won't stop Hernando, please!"
Shutika suddenly knelt down and placed a standard 'earth seat' towards Kuro, with her head touching the ground.
"We know that we have committed a heinous crime and have insulted the navy, but as long as Hernando is allowed to complete his purpose, we will pay the price when the time comes!"
Kuro relaxed his thumbs slightly and looked at Xiutika who was kneeling on the ground, with a strange expression on his face: "Huh?"
Sciutica raised her head and said sincerely: "Hernando actually respects Teacher Zefa very much. He is willing to give up everything for Zefa, even if his family was killed by pirates because of Teacher Zefa's wrong decision-making back then. kill."
…
boom!
Bang bang!
Zefa's left hand was armed, and he punched Hernando, but he blocked it with one hand.
"Back then, I respected you so much, trusted you, and believed that the justice you insisted on was the real justice. The navy's duty is to catch pirates, and the trial should be left to the judiciary. How right is that!"
Hernando waved Zefa's hand away, punched Zefa, and knocked Zefa away with one punch.
"I caught that pirate with my own hands because I believe in your justice, but my family has become a victim of this justice. Why! Based on your 'no killing' rule?!"
"From that day on, I hate you!"
…
"Hernando does not hate Teacher Zefa. Although his family died because of this, we are the navy, and the price... we have been prepared for it."
Shoutika's words were quite agreeable to Kuro.
The navy is also a high-risk profession. Although most people in this world are idiots, there are still people who are unscrupulous. There are people who can do things like massacre the enemy's family members just to vent their anger.
When you are in the Navy, you have to keep your head on your belt...
…
"What did you get from your 'no killing' rule? No, you got nothing! Your arms and your students all disappeared because of your rule, your justice!"
"That pirate is still alive!"
"Hernando!!" Zefa said angrily: "Why do you bring this up!"
…
"Seven years ago, Teacher Zefa was attacked by someone, causing the whole ship to sink. Only Ain and Binz were left. Teacher Zefa lost an arm because of this. Since then, Teacher Zefa's condition has been... It’s never been good.”
When Xiutika said this, her face became a little sad.
"We respect Teacher Zefa very much, but it is because we respect him so much that we begin to wonder if, if Teacher Zefa starts killing people, will he become stronger and no longer be threatened!"
"So, Hernando decided to do something..."
Determination began to appear in Xiutika's eyes, "Let Teacher Zefa kill people!"
"As long as Teacher Zefa starts killing pirates, the pirates on the sea will definitely be frightened by Teacher Zefa's reputation, and Teacher Zefa will definitely regain his strength!"
Qrow closed his eyes slightly, looked at her for a long time, and said, "Then you are really... idiots."
Change the belief of a strong man?
It is not easy to do this. Even though Zefa is wavering at this time, his belief is not so easy to change.
Kuro hadn't seen Zefa before, so he didn't know much about it, but now that he had seen it and fought, he understood that this old man's belief was still very firm no matter how late he was.
The bad things the World Government did a year later, in Kuro's opinion, were not enough to make Zefa disillusioned with the Navy.
What does the world government have to do with their navy?
But if a navy who was once hailed as his successor becomes a pirate who commits many evil deeds, and he personally breaks the rules and has to kill him, then this is very possible.
"Get back on your feet?"
Qrow exhaled smoke, "I'm afraid it's becoming nondescript. It's so stupid that it makes you want to laugh."
What the old man cared about most was justice and students.
His students were killed by pirates, and then some became pirates.
And if his justice is betrayed again, Zefa may go to an extreme.
For example, if you want to destroy the New World and let all the pirates be buried with you, you can accept any price for this, even if you take all the innocent civilians in the New World with you.
At least in his memory, Zefa did this, although it was unsuccessful because he was dragged into the theater version by the man who wanted to be the 'One Piece'.
But the reality is not that mysterious. Judging from Kuro's experience, the thief king will probably be beaten when he meets Zefa.
"Don't call us stupid!"
Shutika stood up and said through gritted teeth: "In order for Teacher Zefa to return to the person full of hope, we have bet our own future and our own honor!"
"We have dishonored our honor, we burned, killed and looted. We are beyond redemption long ago. We deserve to die for this crime long ago!"
The smell of blood on Xiutika's body was very strong, and Kuro could smell the 'evil' smell on her body without even looking at her.
In Kuro's case, this is a damned person.
Kuro was silent for a moment and said, "So, you have been begging for death for a long time, right?"
"Yes, our mission has been achieved from the moment we met Teacher Zefa."
Siutika smiled and said, "I don't have the willpower of Hernando to face Teacher Zefa, but as a navy, you can fulfill my wish. The crimes of pirates should be punished by the navy. "
