Usopp couldn't believe that the story he had just made up was actually playing out in front of him.
He had to tell Kaya!
With that thought, Usopp turned and ran, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Ka...!!!"
But before he could finish, Kuru's Ten-Blade "Cat Claw" plunged into his chest.
His blood stained the blade.
Intense pain shot through his brain.
Darkness seemed ready to engulf him at any moment.
But even now!
He absolutely couldn't!
Retreat like he had before!
His dream was to become a warrior of the sea.
He had been a coward for so long, even if he could be brave for a moment before he died, that would be enough!
"Kaya! Run!!!"
His voice was heart-wrenching.
Anyone who heard it got goosebumps.
Without hesitation, Usopp fell backwards.
He let Kuru's Ten-Blade "Cat Claw" leave deeper wounds on his body.
He had to buy Kaya and the others more time!
Kuru clearly hadn't expected Usopp to make this choice.
He stumbled and was knocked to the ground by Usopp.
But Usopp's voice had already reached Kaya and her parents.
Kuru pulled the Ten-Blade "Cat Claw" out of Usopp's body.
Blood dripped from the blade.
After pushing his glasses up, Kuru muttered to himself, "My identity is exposed. It seems I'll have to kill you all."
Kuru looked at Kaya's parents, who were walking out of the big house, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"I, I won't, I won't let you touch Kaya!"
Usopp, already seriously injured, seemed to possess an incredibly strong will.
Enduring the dizziness, he stretched out his bloodied hand and grabbed Kuru's ankle.
At this moment, Kaya also came down from the stairs.
She couldn't believe that the man who seemed so gentle just now had turned into a murderer!
Kaya, who was already very fair-skinned, looked even paler at this moment.
Kuru raised his foot high, then stomped down on Usopp's hand, crushing it.
Without any emotion, Kuru walked towards Kaya and the others.
The Ten-Blade "Cat Claw" dragged on the ground, like a death knell, constantly echoing in Kaya's ears.
Kuru raised his "Cat Claw" high, the sunlight shining on the blade, but it reflected a chilling cold light.
In an instant, the blade fell.
Kaya's parents' chests instantly bloomed with a bloody flower.
They fell to the ground.
Kaya was stunned.
She wanted to run away.
But her legs wouldn't obey her.
They were heavy, as if filled with lead.
She couldn't move.
"Blame this long-nosed guy. If he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have acted so quickly."
Kuru grinned, then said, "You and your parents can live a little longer!"
With that, Kuru raised his arm again, aiming for Kaya!
"A Hero Arrives"
On the other side, Ryuya and Jango were quickly moving towards Kaya's location.
Suddenly, they heard a heart-wrenching cry.
Ryuya's brow furrowed. After confirming the direction,
His legs instantly turned into shadows, repeatedly tapping on the ground.
The powerful recoil directly propelled Ryuya's body forward.
"Soru!"
Jango instinctively saw a blur, followed by the dust flying up in the air.
And the cracks on the ground beside him.
It made Jango gasp in astonishment.
"This is the strength of White Dove-sama? Just this speed alone, he could beat countless people!"
"Ding!!!"
A crisp sound echoed through Syrup Village.
Ryuya's figure had already arrived in front of Kaya.
Peak Armament Haki wrapped around his arm, directly blocking Kuru's attack.
Kuru felt a numbness in his arm.
The "Cat Claw" in his right hand shattered against Ryuya's block.
It turned into a broken blade and fell to the ground.
His white cloak billowed.
Ryuya protected Kaya behind him.
Seeing the blood everywhere, Usopp and Kaya's parents lying on the ground,
Ryuya's aura erupted!
"Kuru of a Hundred Plans, you've successfully angered me!"
Since coming to the world of pirates, Ryuya hadn't truly been angry.
Coincidentally, a strong wind picked up, and dark clouds instantly covered the sky.
Thunder rumbled above, looking quite terrifying.
"Pay for your actions!"
As soon as Ryuya finished speaking, he kicked out.
The speed was so fast that Kuru couldn't react.
"Bang!"
Kuru, like a kite with a broken string, was kicked hundreds of meters away by Ryuya.
However, Ryuya directly used "Soru" to get behind Kuru.
He didn't give Kuru a chance to react.
"Finger Gun: Yellow Chain!"
Ryuya first bent his index finger, then combined it with super-high-speed shooting, stabbing towards Kuru's body, then changing the position of the next shot up, down, left, and right.
This was Ryuya venting his anger.
Killing Kuru instantly would be too easy for him!
Ryuya wanted him to experience despair!
In an instant, Kuru felt as if countless bullets were constantly piercing his back.
Blood splattered, staining the ground.
When Ryuya stopped attacking, Kuru knelt on the ground, constantly coughing up blood.
He used his broken "Cat Claw" to wipe the blood from his mouth.
Kuru, struggling to support his body, said to Ryuya, "You forced me to do this! Once I use this move, no one here can escape!"
" Nukiashi!"
Kuru was incredibly confident. This was his strongest move. He used high-speed movement and the "Cat Claw" in his hand to attack, killing a large number of enemies. It was so fast that even the attacker didn't know what they would cut!
It was an indiscriminate attack!
Kuru began to move quickly.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
On the trees, on the ground, on the stones...
Kuru's "claw marks" could be seen everywhere.
Kaya also felt the powerful force of Kuru's attack.
She immediately reminded Ryuya, "Be careful!"
A fierce glint flashed in Ryuya's eyes. "I'm not in the mood to watch you use your Nukiashi. Now, go die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryuya directly arrived in front of Kuru.
The so-called "speed" was just child's play in Ryuya's eyes.
"Bang!"
Ryuya extended his palm and directly pressed it against Kuru's head.
Before Kuru could react,
He felt his body lift off the ground, then slam heavily into the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The ground cracked, and the cracks extended for hundreds of meters.
Within a hundred meters, all the trees were shattered.
This scene was witnessed by Jango, who had just arrived.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
He couldn't believe that his captain, who in his impression was invincible,
After using his strongest move, was directly crushed by Ryuya.
It was as simple as crushing an ant.
"This is too terrifying!!!"
"Is this the strength of an Admiral?"
"Too, too strong!"
Jango felt like his entire worldview had been shattered.
But...
