Hong looked sadly at Constance who was lying on the ground, closed her eyes, and gave up resistance.
"I will not give in. It's just that I was cut off by powerful evil, but ideals will never give in."
She raised her head and opened her eyes, her eyes filled with determination, "The ideal of making people happy is absolutely unmistakable!"
call!
"Yeah?"
The sound of the wind mixed with Kuro's voice reached her ears, and she saw Kuro appearing in front of her, raising the black knife, and his cold eyes made Hong close her eyes again, waiting for the black knife to land.
Snapped.
Soon, she felt a light hit on her head, and then heard Qrow's voice.
"Lida, I'll leave it to you to take care of her. Keep an eye on her for me."
No pain?
Hong opened his eyes, just in time to see the headphones on his head split into two pieces and fell to the ground.
Didn't kill her...
Why?
Hong looked up at the man who had put away the knife and turned around. There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. She opened her mouth and finally asked: "Why don't you kill me?"
Kuro kept walking, took out a cigar from his arms, lit it, and said: "Firstly, you are not a pirate, and secondly, you have not caused any casualties. It's just that I don't like it. There are too many people and things in the world that I don't like. If you want to kill them one by one, how long will it take?"
"after all..."
He paused there and said calmly: "I am not qualified to make people give up pursuing their ideals."
With that said, he walked straight to the castle tower. Lida looked at his back with some distress, "Why are you in a bad mood again?"
"Hey... you come with me, I'll find a place for you to keep you."
Lida walked up to Hong and said, "I don't like you very much, but if Kuro doesn't kill you, I won't do it."
The way to deal with this woman is too simple. She has no strength. Just let the navy grab a sea tower stone chain and imprison her directly in the castle tower.
Of course, Lida also asked for some information. This woman was the kind of person who could talk about anything. Soon, she happily ran to the fifth floor and opened the sliding door of the main hall where Kuro was.
"Curo Kuro, do you know what Red's ability is?!"
At this time, Kuro was leaning on the balcony, sitting on the futon, with one leg bent up and the other down, one hand on his knee, and the other hand hanging down. He was still holding a white wine porcelain bottle in his hand, looking sideways at the gradual descent. of the setting sun.
The sun shone on his profile and body, seeming to emit a faint glow.
But somehow...sad?
"Cullo?" Lida asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Kuro heard the voice and turned to look at her, "Oh, Leda...it's nothing, I just thought about the past."
Lida walked over obediently, sat next to Kuro, tilted her head and asked, "Before?"
"Um..."
Kuro raised the bottle, took a sip, and then said: "Sometimes I can't understand it. Ideals are indeed sacred, and they always have to be adapted to local conditions. To put it simply, the sea has its own feelings. It's not something. Ideals are suitable for continued persistence.”
"But..."
He looked at the setting sun again and sighed: "Whether this woman or that old man, they are still the same people he met before, but their ideals can always stick to it, even if it is not in line with the times, even if it is wrong of."
"possible..."
He stretched out his hand and looked at his palm, "That's why I don't have the color of a king."
Although that woman is said to be easy to deal with, sometimes the sea cannot decide who is right and who is wrong by force.
People have feelings and hearts.
They can think, they can struggle, and they can think deeply about the truth.
It's not that Qrow thinks his current ideal is wrong, he just reached a critical point because of that woman.
"I thought I would get used to it after seeing it on the sea too much, but it turned out that I still felt a little emotional..."
He sighed and took another sip of wine.
Now, it's just a feeling.
Feeling that I have given up...
My original intention when I was young.
"Roger, Kaido, Big Mom, even that bastard Tikki, and this woman... all want to change the world."
Kuro said: "It's actually very difficult to change the world... But they just want to change the world and have never changed. Don't they know how difficult it is? Maybe they do, otherwise they wouldn't shrink in the new world after so many years. One corner has been delayed, but why don't you give up..."
He looked at Lida and said: "I gave up a long time ago. Because the sea is too big, the islands are not connected, there is a lack of information transmission, the bloodline is deep-rooted, and there are strong men who can destroy the world at every turn. I have to admit that force is right or wrong, but it can kill the buds of some ideas. The people have no ability to resist. Even if they are awakened, they are unable to protect their awakening."
"They are not living a bad life. The sea is very big and the supplies are very rich. They cannot starve to death, and they have not reached the point where they would rise up. Although there are situations like that, there are too few compared to the sea."
"I found a lot of disadvantages, so I gave up and just lived my life."
Kuro took a sip of wine and said: "There is a saying in my hometown, which is that if you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be alone. It does not mean wealth, but a person's thoughts and strength. I can't 'da' and help the world at the same time." If you don’t care about the world, you can only live alone and live your whole life comfortably..."
"I don't understand."
Lida tilted her little head: "Crow, you are very good, kind and just. Although you have a bad mouth, you are very kind and a good person."
Kuro tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Don't give me the good guy card! It's really...forget it, I'm just complaining, it's meaningless. By the way, what ability did you just say about that woman?"
"Yeah! She is a Devil Fruit user. She said that she ate the 'Soothing Fruit', which can soothe people's hearts and calm people, but it seems to be able to stir up people's emotions. What does she mean by the ability of a Moon Clan woman? , can produce beautiful dreams through singing, and when combined, it becomes like that." Lida said.
"You're quite good at playing..."
Kuro raised his eyebrows, "Singing girl? Forget her identity as a member of the Moon Clan, the people above want her probably because of her ability. The Celestial Dragons...are just like these weird things."
Today's 'Empress' Boya Hancock is such a product.
That domineering ability to kill and petrify all men, women, old and young, was only given to Hancock by the Celestial Dragons for their own amusement at the beginning.
Those people... don't care about anything.
Kuro put down the porcelain bottle, picked up the cigar that was still lit next to him, bit it in his mouth, and turned to look at the setting sun.
"How to solve it..."
