Kapitel 44: Fight With Kuro Again!
The originally lively banquet suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Kuro in confusion, then at Gawain, before realizing what had happened.
"Deputy captain, you-"
Before Buchi could finish his words, he was held down by Gin.
It is normal for crew members to challenge the captain in a pirate group, especially for someone like Kuro, who used to be the captain and was in control of everything.
Everyone who reacted focused their attention on Gawain.
"Okay"
Gawain smiled faintly, slowly picked up his sword beside him, and said: "I'll satisfy you."
"Snort."
Kuro's mouth curled up: "Your arrogance is still so infuriating. I want to see if you can still smile after you lose."
"That's right."
Kuro said mischievously: "Don't cry if you lose later."
Gawain was stunned, then he remembered what he said last time and sighed: "A vengeful fellow!"
Everyone quickly cleared out a space for Gawain and Kuro.
The food and wine had been taken away, and only the fire in the center was still burning, just like the rising fighting spirit in Kuro's heart at this moment.
A wave of heat swept through.
The two men stood opposite each other without saying a word. They just took out their weapons silently, with nothing else in their sight except the opponent in front of them.
An inexplicable atmosphere of solemnity condensed in the air.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Sham's forehead, and he nervously pulled Buchi back a distance.
Jango followed suit and also stepped back, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the two men.
"Jango, Buchi, who do you think will win this time?"
Buchi did not hesitate: "Of course, it's the captain."
"The last time, that guy, Kuro, was beaten head-on by the captain. He had no power to resist at all."
"That's true."
Sham nodded.
Jango, on the side, looked at Kuro and frowned slightly: "I don't think so."
"How is this possible?!"
Sham was stunned: "With the captain's strength, how could he lose? Even if that guy Kuro has become stronger during this period, it should be limited, right?"
"And I heard from my companions who participated in the battle at Raven Harbor that the captain was able to suppress the devil fruit user Marine. Such power is simply a monster."
Jango swung the ring-bladed flying knife with his fingertips and looked at Kuro with a look of tangible awe: "I just heard from Gin that during the battle between Kuro and him, he awakened a power called Observation-Haki, which can greatly enhance his perception ability. Not only can he perfectly control the Pussyfoot Maneuver, but he could even push the Pussyfoot Maneuver's speed to a higher peak."
"At such a high speed, if it is also flexible, even a monster like the captain may even have the possibility of overturning."
The Nyaban Brothers were silent for a moment. If they had a choice, they would certainly prefer to follow Gawain.
After all, everyone knew exactly what life was like following Gawain and what life was like following Kuro.
Who would want to have a captain with a fickle temper who would even treat his subordinates as disposable?
"Captain, you can't lose!"
The two of them muttered to themselves.
In the pirate group, most people think the same as the Nyaban Brothers.
Kuro took in everyone's reactions and said to Gawain: "You are a popular captain, but unfortunately, I will be the winner tonight!"
As the sound landed.
Bang!
Kuro took the lead in attacking; he stomped on the ground until the stone slabs were completely crushed. With the help of the feedback force, he was in a state of Pussyfoot Maneuver in just a second.
The scene in front of Kuro's eyes was distorted; the sounds in his ears were mixed, and even his skin felt a tingling sensation.
It was the pain caused by the skin hitting the air at ultra-high speed.
Having lost all five senses, Kuro simply closed his eyes, and his fully mastered Observation-Haki suddenly activated, and everything around him appeared clearly in his mind.
The extremely fierce aura makes Gawain's presence completely impossible to ignore!
"Gawain!"
"I see you!"
"The last barrier that once held Pussyfoot Maneuver back has been completely broken through by me. My speed will be raised to a higher peak!"
"Yeah?"
Gawain responded indifferently; his facial expression remained unchanged, but his heart began to struggle.
How much strength should be used to win this battle without hitting Kuro?
Forget it; let's give it a try!
The next moment.
The sword in Gawain's hand suddenly thrust out, colliding with Kuro's crossed claw blades…
Bang!
The sharp blades collided, making a sharp buzzing sound, and the onlookers subconsciously covered their ears.
However, Kuro only felt an extremely powerful force coming from the Cat Claws, and there was an obvious sound of bones breaking from his ten fingers holding the weapon.
His body was directly knocked away, smashing the wooden building in the distance.
Boom!
After a shocking explosion, everyone finally reacted and looked at Gawain in astonishment.
"No."
"Has the captain ever been this strong?"
They couldn't close their jaws after seeing the scene in front of them.
Forcibly intercepting Kuro's Pussyfoot Maneuver and defeating him was something Gawain had been able to do before.
But to knock Kuro away so easily, like now, is not the same as before.
Kuro is getting stronger, but Gawain is also getting stronger and even faster than Kuro!
Realizing this, Jango inexplicably developed a feeling.
As the gap between him and Gawain widens, the help they can bring to them will become less and less, and one day, they will completely lose their value and become a complete burden rather than a help…
So is Raven Harbor the retreat captain Gawain left for them?
Even if they can't follow him to the Grand Line, they don't have to fight other pirates for survival if we stay in the East Blue?
After thinking this through, Jango felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He just turned around and looked at the Nyaban Brothers: "Hey, Buchi, Sham."
The Nyaban Brothers turned their heads and looked at Jango: "Um?"
Jango took off his star-shaped sunglasses, rubbed his eyes, and put them back on.
The fire flickered, and the Nyaban Brothers couldn't see Jango's expression clearly.
They only heard him say in a firm tone: "I just realized that Raven Harbor is the retreat that Captain Gawain left for us ordinary companions."
"Even if one day we can no longer keep up with the captain, we can still have a stable life here."
"No matter what the outcome of this battle is, I will stand on Captain Gawain's side. What about you?"
The two looked at each other and grinned at the same time: "Isn't that a matter of course?"
"Captain Gawain is a different being!"
At the side, Gin silently took in the reactions of the three people, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So."
"Kuro."
"The battle has barely begun, and you've already lost."
"No matter what the outcome, this is Mr. Gawain's pirate group."
