Chapter 1125: Don't Ask—Call It a Shipwreck!
Chapter 1125: Don't Ask—Call It a Shipwreck!
Prophecy Man?
Who—or what—was that?!
Kuro suddenly felt like he’d encountered more treacherous Devil Fruit users today than his entire life combined.
But one thing was clear.
"Did you deliberately target me?" Kuro asked.
"Of course."
Edmund grinned as he nodded. "I handpicked these Devil Fruit users just to capture you. Not bad, huh? They won’t embarrass you, our esteemed Admiral."
Edmund had absolute confidence in his subordinates.
After all, this was an Admiral—a man wielding the 'Float-Float Fruit.' To neutralize his abilities, they’d prepared this sealed chamber. It was an isolated space with no external connections. Kuro’s movements were confined to this Banquet Hall. Worse, due to the realm’s illusory nature, even his weapons couldn’t manifest here. His combat power had been drastically reduced.
But this was only the first layer of the plan.
Initially, Edmund had hoped to manipulate Kuro into compliance, smoothly establishing a contract. When that failed, he had no choice but to take the alternative path.
Maros could isolate him from his subordinates, while George, the "Crashman", could pin Kuro down with his ability to crash through anything. Blumer’s song wasn’t useless—it was designed to disrupt opponents. That ear-splitting melody carried an extraordinary ability to cause mental disturbances, further weakening Kuro.
Meanwhile, Richard, the Photo Man, could seize the moment to activate his ability. Once Kuro was frozen, even an Admiral wouldn’t escape unscathed.
To ensure success, Veed, the Prophecy Man, played a crucial role. While he couldn’t directly affect Kuro, his foresight into others’ futures could trap Kuro in a desperate situation.
If Richard failed to capture Kuro on film, prophecy would guarantee it. Then, whether Kayla stripped Kuro’s soul or Tawish forced him into a body-swap contract, Edmund could seize Kuro’s physical form and command its immense power.
With Kuro’s strength at his disposal, the list of things he could achieve was endless!
He’d willingly sacrifice the immortality his own ability granted—just to claim Kuro’s power, just to claim his Brain Sea.
Suddenly, a few fragmented scenes flashed across Edmund’s mind.
A handsome young man lying in a pool of blood, smiling at him.
Civilians with grotesque faces, wielding weapons.
A corpulent world noble cackling wildly, encased in a bubble helmet.
"Best friend... I’ll make them see my wrath!"
Edmund’s eyes burned like a wildfire. He inhaled deeply, then roared at Kuro, "Hand over your body, Kuro!!"
"Crash!!"
As he bellowed, George lunged midair toward Kuro. This wasn’t just a wild charge—itwas a locked-on assault. No wonder he’d kept up with Kuro’s speed.
"Ahhh~~~"
Blumer opened his mouth in ecstasy, unleashing a soundwave that shook the Banquet Hall. Everyone, except Edmund, winced in unison.
It was unbearably hideous, disrupting their focus.
But that was the point—it affected Kuro too.
Richard, the Photo Man, had already assumed his stance. He framed his thumbs and forefingers around his eyes, ready to freeze both George and Kuro in a single shot.
Kayla appeared on the other side, targeting Kuro as the contingency plan. If Richard failed, he’d ensure Kuro’s soul got peeled out.
Veed inhaled sharply, preparing to speak. He was about to unleash his prophecy.
As long as he foretold that Richard would capture Kuro, it would happen.
"The next move, Richard will definitely—"
Boom!
Before he could finish, his body stiffened, his face twisting in horror.
Not just him—even Edmund’s eyes widened in terror.
A blood-red aura suddenly flooded the space, suffocating and oppressive.
Killing Intent!
An overwhelming, paralyzing Killing Intent!
Bang!
The next instant, a thunderous noise erupted.
George’s body collapsed midair, a gaping hole torn through his chest. A fist shimmering with golden lightning pierced from his front to his back.
George opened his mouth, trying to speak, but only a gush of thick, sticky blood spilled onto the floor.
The fist retracted, and his corpse thudded lifelessly to the ground.
Kuro hovered midair, his bloodied fist scanning the crowd below. His crimson-stained eyes were calm. "Who said I can’t kill without a blade?"
Once you understood an enemy’s ability, killing them became simple.
These foes, no matter how treacherous their powers, were physically weak. Kuro hadn’t even warmed up.
His Killing Intent alone was enough to shatter their resolve.
"George!"
Kayla roared, leaping upward, his arm transforming into a claw. "I’ll peel your soul!"
Smack!
A fingertip crackling with Haki blocked his strike—not by physical contact, but by an External Release of Haki that repelled him entirely.
"Even Big Mom wouldn’t dare threaten to strip my soul. You dare?"
Kuro shook his head in disdain. His arm pivoted—his index finger blocked Kayla’s claw, while his bent middle finger flicked forward, striking Kayla’s head.
"Fishman Karate."
Bang!
The flick punched a bleeding hole through Kayla’s skull.
"I prophesize—"
Veed finally tried to act under the Killing Intent’s pressure, but Kuro’s glare cut him off.
"Eye Sword."
Veed clutched his chest, writhing in pain.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Kuro vanished from midair. Before anyone could react, he reappeared before Veed.
"Prophecy Man—vanish from the Grand Line!"
With a punch, Kuro blew Veed’s head clean off. Then, in a blur, he kicked Maros in a single arc. His leg slashed like a sword, piercing Maros’ heart.
"The most annoying one was you. Daring to disarm me? Oh, and that dwarf who stripped a layer from my Autumn Water—do you even know what that felt like? Both of you deserved death."
Kuro withdrew his foot without glancing at Maros’ blood-spewing corpse. He faced Edmund. "You probably don’t understand why I became an Admiral. No worries—I’ll teach you today. Today, you’re not just a King. Even a world noble won’t save you. Don’t ask—call it a shipwreck!"
As Maros fell, the space rippled. Suddenly, the surroundings shifted, revealing many new figures.
"Kuro!"
Lida’s voice rang out behind him. Kuro turned, smiled, and with a flick of his finger, summoned Lida’s Autumn Water into his grasp.
"When someone dies, their ability fades."
