Bab 45: I, Gawain, Am A Great Actor!
In the ruins, Kuro pushed away the wooden board pressing on his body with one hand and stood up blankly.
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
After subconsciously asking three philosophical questions in his mind, Kuro looked up at Gawain and saw that Gawain also had a confused expression on his face.
Kuro's mouth twitched immediately: "So this immense strength is the trump card you have been hiding, right?"
Kuro suppressed the surging blood in his chest and showed an expression that seemed to see through everything: "Unfortunately, strength is nothing compared to my speed!"
Gawain was speechless for a moment.
He was originally worried about how to explain so that Kuro wouldn't completely lose hope.
Now, it seems that he was too narrow-minded.
For a suitable leek, self-strategy is a must!
Moreover, this attack also made Gawain finally understand how exaggerated the increase in his comprehensive quality, which was almost doubled, could bring him under perfect coordination.
The growth in strength alone is definitely not as simple as doubling it literally. The instantaneous burst of power can even increase by three or four times.
Only this way could he knock Kuro away so easily!
You have to know that he only used 50% of his strength just now!
If it was a full-strength attack, there was a high probability that Kuro would not be able to stand up after this blow.
This also made Gawain subconsciously control his strength.
Far away, Kuro rubbed his sore shoulder and moved his fingers. After making sure that the injury would not affect his movements, he tiptoed on the spot and disappeared into the air the next moment.
For a while, the only thing around was Kuro's flickering figure. Even the flames on the fire were blown all over the place by the wind created by Kuro.
Whoosh!
The familiar scene reminded the people around them of their companions who had been seriously injured or even killed by Kuro's move, and they all subconsciously moved backward.
But halfway through, they were surprised to find that there was not a single extra scratch around.
"Wrong!"
"Kuro really, really has perfect control over the Pussyfoot Maneuver!"
"We don't have to worry about being accidentally injured anymore!"
Sham turned his head and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
The stone slabs on the ground were constantly crushed by Kuro's feet, and his figure completely disappeared into the air.
"Kuro's speed is even faster than before!"
Jango uttered a cry of surprise.
Originally, when Kuro used the Pussyfoot Maneuver, he could still see a vague shadow, but now he can't see anything clearly.
This only means that Kuro's speed has been pushed to a higher level!
Faster!
Stronger!
For a while, everyone looked at Gawain with a hint of worry in their eyes.
With such speed, can Captain Gawain really handle it?
Although the attack just now was powerful, it would be useless if the speed could not keep up!
"It should be alright, right? After all, even with Kuro's speed, shouldn't the captain be able to react?"
Just as Buchi's words gave everyone a sense of security, a piercing sound appeared in the air in the distance…
Whoosh!
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in Gawain's leather armor. Perhaps due to good luck, there was no obvious bloodstain.
Everyone's heart was instantly lifted up.
"Even the captain can't keep up?"
"What to do?"
"Are we really going to follow Kuro?"
Sham ran his fingers through his hair.
If he had not experienced what happened in Raven Harbor, he might have been able to accept his previous life, but now there is no going back.
Buchi and Jango clenched their fists and secretly worried about Gawain.
Only Gin looked at Gawain suspiciously and asked doubtfully: "It shouldn't be."
"Captain, you weren't at this level the last time you beat me up! Is it because of your bond with Kuro that you can't do it?"
"Hateful!"
"I will definitely surpass you, Kuro!"
"I will be Captain Gawain's most capable subordinate!"
While Gin was strategizing on himself, Gawain's clothes got a few more cuts, and he had a constipated expression on his face.
Not only must he control his desire to attack, but he must also control Guanze Masamune from slashing down…
It's so hard for me!
Kuro, who was charging forward, was laughing like crazy.
"Really!"
"After I increase my speed to another level, even your nerve reaction speed can't keep up with me, Gawain!"
"Hahahaha!"
Kuro's triumphant laughter echoed all around, and everyone couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure in their hearts.
Gin clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: "Mr. Gawain!"
"No matter how kind you are to your subordinates, there must be a limit!"
"You'll really get hurt if you keep going like this!"
For a moment, the situation on the scene was strange. Kuro kept attacking, leaving scars on Gawain's body, but none of them hurt his flesh.
Ten minutes later.
Gawain felt that it was about time, and a look of seeing through you appeared on his face: "I found your weakness, Kuro!"
The next moment.
A silver-white light appeared on Kuro's path, but it turned over the moment it hit Kuro. The sharp edge that was originally slashing toward Kuro instantly changed to the blunt back of the sword, and then it collided fiercely with Kuro's chest…
Boom!
At the same location, Kuro crashed into the ruins for the second time. He struggled to stand up, but his hands were completely powerless.
Kuro felt the pain coming from all parts of his body and knew that his body had reached its limit.
But he was not discouraged at all because, this time, he felt that the gap between him and Gawain was much closer.
It's no longer like it used to be, with no hope at all!
"I will definitely beat you next time!"
"Gawain!"
"I'll be waiting for you in the captain's seat!"
Gawain responded, then pretended to be out of breath, walked up to Kuro, and pulled him up with a smug smile on his face: "It seems that I am more skilled than you!"
"Snort."
Kuro snorted coldly, but a smile appeared on his face: "A complacent fellow."
The battle ends here.
There was a burst of cheers all around instantly.
The banquet, which had been suspended due to Kuro's sudden challenge, started again.
The Nyaban Brothers and Jango were so excited that they danced a strange dance around the fire, causing everyone to laugh.
The musicians in the pirate group also began to play familiar music at this moment.
The White Knight Pirates were relieved and enthusiastically sang along with the musicians' accompaniment.
They were tone-deaf and couldn't remember the lyrics, but they sang with great emotion:
"Yo-ho-ho~ yo-ho-ho."
"Yo-ho-ho~ yo-ho-ho."
"Gather up all of the crew; it's time to ship out Binks' Brew."
"Sea wind blows, to where, who knows? The waves will be our guide."
"O'er across the ocean's tide, rays of sunshine far and wide."
"Birds they sing, of cheerful things, in circles passing by."
"Bid farewell to weaver's town, say so long to port renowned."
"Sing a song; it won't be long before we're casting off."
"Cross the gold and silver seas; a salty spray puts us at ease."
"Day and night, to our delight, the voyage never ends."
Even Kuro was infected by the singing of the crowd. He drank cup after cup of beer with Gawain.
Seeing the smile on Gawain's face, Kuro was slightly stunned: "Why did this guy not even sweat?"
"Impossible!"
Kuro shook his head: "I must have seen it wrong. I still have hope!"
"As long as I work harder, I can defeat Gawain and regain the captain's throne!"
Gin sat quietly aside, looking at Kuro from time to time while sneering in his heart: "Just wait and see. I will defeat you and become the captain's most capable subordinate!"
Gawain looked at Kuro, whose fighting spirit was unprecedentedly burning, and then looked at the system panel. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face at all.
If you work harder, I will be able to reach the peak of my life, punching the four emperors and kicking the Celestial Dragons!
