In One Piece With The Barrier Fruit

Kuro admitted that he underestimated this bounty hunter. This guy not only had Devil Fruit abilities, but also had a weird sword.

But, as a pirate captain, how could he join the ranks of pirate hunters?

"Then I choose to kill you!"

Kuro sneered and said, what does it mean for this guy to protect these weaklings? This guy seems to have some of Marine's righteous qualities, which can be used.

See how many people you can protect!

"Shakushi!"

Kuro immediately used his strongest move. Under the silent step of moving at high speed, he used the cat claws in his hand to carry out indiscriminate attacks. The speed was so fast that even Kuro didn't know what he would hit!

"You can't even control your moves. With your IQ, you can only come up with this technique?"

'Barrier ball!'

Basire crossed the index and middle fingers of his left hand, and a huge spherical barrier ball suddenly enveloped Kuro, who was slashing randomly, allowing him to drift and slash inside the barrier ball for his own entertainment!

He is already a little doubtful. Is this Kuro of a hundred plans, the man Oda said has an IQ second only to Benn Beckman in the East Blue, is he really that smart?

At this moment he doesn't look that smart, he actually looks like a kid who doesn't know how to fight, throwing random punches...

"You still haven't stopped? If that's all you can do, then so be it!"

'Barrier Ball: coffin!'

Basire stretched out his left hand and held it in the air. The huge barrier ball, which was more than ten meters tall, wrapped around Kuro who was running around. It shrank at an extremely fast speed and suddenly squeezed Kuro, who was slashing indiscriminately, into a body of less than two meters inside the barrier ball.

Kuro, who is two meters tall, cannot even stand upright inside the barrier ball. His sword cat claws cannot even be opened, he can only cross his hands over his chest and press against both sides of the barrier ball. He used all his strength to stop the barrier ball from shrinking.

"Have you finally stopped? Do you want to die or live?"

Basire stood in front of the barrier ball that continued to shrink, looking at Kuro indifferently. The cat's claws also began to bend under the strong contraction pressure.

If this continues, Kuro will cut himself with his own sword and be squeezed into a ball of flesh!

"Mr. Bounty Hunter, please don't kill Butler Klahadore. Give him to the Marine, then you can still get the bounty!"

Kaya suddenly ran up. She was kind-hearted and didn't want to see the butler she had been with for two years die in front of her.

"You, go away!"

Basire glanced at this weak little bean sprout with ruthless eyes. She was too weak and useless to be worthy of his attention.

Merry and Usopp immediately pulled Kaya back and looked at the brutal bounty hunter in fear.

"Kuro, I don't have that much patience. I thought you were a smart person, but you disappointed me so much!"

'Barrier Magic: One Sword Pierces the Heart!'

There was a gap in the shrinking barrier ball. Basire aimed Sandai Kitetsu at the gap and stabbed it in with a push, completely intending to end the life of Kuro and letting the cursed sword drink a full meal of blood!

"Wait!"

Kuro saw that the sword had been pressed against his heart, and he could no longer be arrogant at this moment.

But Basire didn't seem to hear it and continued to push in slowly, giving Kuro enough mental and visual pressure.

Kuro, who still wanted to negotiate some conditions, immediately shouted.

"Wait! I want to live! Captain!!"

Kuro was sweating profusely and realized that this bounty hunter was more ruthless than him and his grasp of people's hearts was no worse than his.

"You know the consequences of betrayal!"

Basire showed a 'kind' smile and looked deeply into his eyes. When he saw Kuro's cold sweat breaking out, he felt satisfied.

However, Kuro quickly adjusted and showed a nervous smile.

"Don't underestimate the pirate's promise, my devil captain, you have released another devil!"

Kuro's eyes were crazy, as if he saw a guy who was smarter, more powerful, and more cold-blooded than him.

"I hope your brain and strength can meet my expectations, otherwise you will really die!"

Basire smiled and casually dispersed the shrinking barrier ball, picked up the sweating Kuro and patted his collar.

Basire, who is currently 2.5 meters tall, is still quite tall in East Blue, Kuro is only 207 centimeters, and Zoro is even shorter now, only 178 centimeters. In front of Basire, he is like a dwarf. (Yep, no imperial system, viva la revolution, metric system banzai!)

"I hope the captain's strength can always crush me, otherwise you will die too!"

Kuro looked at Basire without fear, as if he had found his ambition again.

~Bang!~

Basire punched Kuro in the stomach, causing Kuro to immediately fall to the ground holding his stomach, with blood flowing from his mouth.

"That's a nice look! You are qualified to be my crew member, so work hard from now on!"

"However, you still have to respect the captain and never do this again!"

Basire picked up Kuro again while Usopp and Kaya were stunned when they saw this scene.

Is this recruiting a crew?

Why are you so cruel? Are you really not afraid of betrayal by the crew?

"Really a devil captain, but I like it!"

Kuro wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his tone was indeed more respectful, as if he had really surrendered to Basire.

And Usopp's eyes became weird seeing this, butler Klahadore seemed to have a strong masochistic tendency. The more he was beaten, the more respectful he became?

"Keep up with the pace, broaden your horizons, don't waste time staring at these rich villagers, I am ashamed of you!"

Basire said in a disgusted tone, and Kuro did not refute, but something did change in his eyes, maybe he was insulted, maybe he was awakened.

This scene made Usopp even more convinced that Kuro was a pirate with masochistic tendencies, and seemed to have developed a serious disease called "Stockholm Syndrome".

Kuro followed Basire expressionlessly out of the mansion, his thoughts were a bit complicated. He stared at Basire's back and was really impressed by Basire's strength, but also wanted to take his place and take revenge.

But rationally, he couldn't beat this guy, and he had already joined this guy's crew, so he didn't bother to do such a thing as betrayal.

Unless he can defeat this captain head-on.

'Don't ever let me surpass you, Devil Captain!'

Kuro showed a cruel smile, this bounty hunter really woke him up. With his cleverness, the pattern of planning to inherit Kaya's fortune was indeed too low. Maybe he should follow this guy to the Grand Line to make a living!

"Ah, finally gone!"

Usopp suddenly fell to the ground. The pressure from these two guys was really too terrifying.

"Usopp, you were brave just now!"

Kaya helped Usopp up and said gently. She looked at the two figures again, and she seemed to see the appearance of two big figures.

On the other side, this guy Zoro somehow broke out of Kaya's mansion and came to the coast, which made him extremely crazy. What about the enemy Kuro? ?

At this time, a black cat-headed pirate ship appeared on the sea, and the pirate flag on it was also a cat-shaped skull.

"I encountered another pirate ship. Forget it, ignore Kuro. Let's capture them first!"

Zoro looked at the Black Cat Pirate Ship getting closer and closer with bright eyes. He began to hold the Yubashiri and Wado Ichimonji in his hands, excitedly waiting for the prey to approach!
