Chapter 1270: Give Me a Little Fun, Will You?
Chapter 1270: Give Me a Little Fun, Will You?
"Whether I become your commander isn't your decision to make! Cut!"
Law swung his blade swiftly, slicing through the air around Kuro. But with a sharp clang, Kuro extended a finger from his left hand, blocking the attack at chest level.
The sound came from his index finger.
That finger had turned jet-black, radiating Armament Haki.
"Oh."
Kuro glanced at his finger, then at Law, saying coolly, "Compared to before, your power's increased significantly."
"Command Stick!"
Law slashed again. The Golden Lion warship hovering in the crater suddenly vanished, reappearing high above Kuro before plummeting downward.
The Surgery Fruit's "teleportation ability" had no restrictions on mass, volume, or quantity—anything within range could be moved.
"Die!" Law snarled.
"This thing..."
The falling Golden Lion halted midair, suspended motionless.
"Are you trying to joke with me, Law?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow, flicking his finger upward. The Golden Lion soared back into the sky.
Has he gotten arrogant after a year? Trying to crush himself with controlled objects?
"Tch, seems like my ability's control still lacks precision."
Law didn't stop the warship's ascent, merely muttering. Within his ability's range, he could manipulate objects freely. After extensive training, he'd wanted to test the limits of his control's finesse.
Right now, his control still lagged behind this man's—but it didn't matter. Controlling wasn't his specialty anyway.
Law pointed Ghost Cry at Kuro's heart position. "Scalpel!"
The opponent remained unfazed.
Law flash-stepped to Kuro's side, forming a thumb strike toward his chest. A surge of electricity crackled across his hand.
"Heart Pulse Shock!"
Another ability of the Surgery Fruit—releasing electric currents to create impact damage. It could fry internal organs, electrocute the body, or even cleave a person in half with a single strike!
Smack!
A hand seized his wrist mid-thrust.
Kuro stared at him, expressionless. "Are you done playing yet, Law?"
"Don't flatter yourself—"
Law wasn't alarmed; instead, his lips curled into a grin. He reversed his palm to grip Kuro's wrist, then surged high-frequency electricity through his Yokai Blade Ghost Cry before slashing downward.
"Let's keep playing! High-Frequency Scalpel!"
This strike carried Unified Haki within the electric current!
"I know if I'd used full strength from the start, you wouldn't have easily caught me. But now—" Law's grip tightened, "—with you holding my wrist, you can't move freely!"
"Not even you can withstand my High-Frequency Scalpel!"
This technique had damaged even Big Mom and Kaido. Compared to them, Kuro's defensive power was clearly inferior.
This strike should decide the battle!
"Is that so?"
Kuro watched the scalpel descend. Finally, his right hand moved. He flicked his thumb, drawing Autumn Water's black blade from its scabbard. A golden electric current flashed as he parried Ghost Cry.
At that moment, Law's grin widened. "Move!"
His body vanished, ignoring Kuro's grip on his wrist. He reappeared at Kuro's side, Ghost Cry already slashing toward his neck.
This was exactly what he'd anticipated!
Clang!
Autumn Water's black blade intercepted Ghost Cry mid-strike.
Kuro's other hand emerged from behind, gripping the sword to block the attack. He smirked slightly.
"Just this?"
"Command Stick!"
As the blades clashed, Law shouted again. Both himself and Ghost Cry vanished, while a nearby building disappeared, reappearing above Kuro to crash downward.
"Here we go—"
The building halted midair. But before Kuro could finish speaking, his expression sharpened.
Law stood at a distance, while Ghost Cry reappeared alone in front of Kuro, still crackling with electricity, slashing downward.
"Take this!"
Law roared, "This is my plan! The moment I've been waiting for!"
He'd predicted everything—Kuro's counterattack, his own strike being blocked from another angle.
But in that split second of defense, he'd moved a building to force Kuro's reaction. And in that opening, Ghost Cry had materialized, striking!
It connected!
Law watched Ghost Cry descend, its edge touching Kuro's forehead. He could even see the blade's edge pressing against Kuro's skin.
With this strike, even Kuro's defense—
Clang!
As Ghost Cry met Kuro's scalp, a visible tortoiseshell phantom image erupted, blocking the strike.
Law froze, fingers twitching. Ghost Cry vanished from Kuro's front and reappeared in his hand.
Before Kuro, the Black Tortoise's phantom shell, along with an emerging snake head, shattered under cascading electric currents, disintegrating into fragments that faded away.
"Not bad..."
Kuro sighed. "You've improved significantly, Law. I hadn't expected my faintest defensive Haki to be forced out by you."
"Save the lecture!"
Law leveled Ghost Cry at Kuro, assuming a kenjutsu Middle Guard Stance, thrusting forward.
"Injection: Launch!"
The blade surged forward, delivering a powerful impact at blinding speed.
But in that instant, Kuro's body dissolved into a phantom image, rippling like water waves before vanishing.
"You know..."
A voice echoed from behind Law, making him startle.
A shadow emerged, flashing a wisp of Black Light.
"Afterimage Slash—I can teleport too."
Clang!
Law reacted instantly, swinging Ghost Cry backward to block Autumn Water's descending strike.
The force made him grit his teeth, legs instinctively crouching as his other hand gripped the hilt to withstand the pressure.
Whoosh!
As the pressure eased, he vanished again, reappearing at Kuro's side. Ghost Cry slashed downward, crackling with electricity.
Kuro didn't even look. He casually flicked his blade, sparking against Ghost Cry and halting its advance.
Law clenched his teeth, gripping Ghost Cry with both hands for another strike.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Sparks flew as Kuro single-handedly parried the frenzied assault, advancing leisurely through the chaos like a stroll in the park.
"You know..."
Clang!
Kuro's arm pressed downward, pinning Law's blade.
Punch!
Kuro's left fist, crackling with golden electricity, slammed into Law's abdomen.
Law's head jerked forward, body instinctively curling—but he bit down, vanished, and reappeared at a distance, eyes locked on Kuro.
Kuro swung his blade, smirking mockingly. "How about giving me a little fun, huh?"
