Chapter 794: The False Mermaid is Fragile, the True Mermaid is Impervious to Blades and Spears
Chapter 794: The False Mermaid is Fragile, the True Mermaid is Impervious to Blades and Spears
Neptune’s fist halted mid-swing.
Navy?
They belonged to the same World Government faction. Why stop a World Noble?
Everyone with even a shred of knowledge about that colossal slave knew how it met its end.
“That guy—his Killing Intent was terrifying for a moment.”
In the Flower Country’s camp, an elderly man wearing loose robes adorned with chrysanthemum patterns and a prominent “2” embroidered on his chest glared at Kuro, eyes narrowing.
“Swordsmanship? Can one truly manifest such intensity with the eyes alone?”
He was the head of the Second Treasure Navy, sent here to accompany King after the Eight Treasures Navy’s disappearance in Dressrosa.
As the family’s patriarch, his cultivation was formidable—enough to discern how that giant slave had died.
The Royal Family Guards were all elite warriors, rivals to the Navy’s most powerful.
Though shocked, the truth was undeniable: that slave had been cut down by the Navy.
But why would the Navy dare strike a World Noble’s property?
Is he trying to get himself executed?
“Is that Golden Lion?”
“Exactly. I’ve heard of him. He’s famous.”
“What a pity. Such a strong Navy officer, ruined by defying a World Noble.”
“Shh, keep it down. Let them fight amongst themselves. We’ll watch.”
The murmurs spread among the crowd.
“Slave #3, get up! What are you doing?!”
The giant’s collapse with a thunderous crash sent Charloss into a rage. He kicked the motionless body and glared fiercely at Kuro.
“You—”
Kuro’s confrontation with Charloss drew mixed reactions. Some sneered, others frowned, but most remained indifferent.
A conflict between Navy and World Noble?
Unheard of.
No matter how it unfolded, the spectacle promised entertainment.
Charloss marched up to Kuro, staring blankly at him for a moment. Kuro, biting his cigar, looked down at him with a smirk.
“Oh!! My friend!”
Charloss’ idiotic face split into a grin as he slapped Kuro’s shoulder. “Long time no see, buddy! This slave really was fragile, huh? Sorry you had to see that. Don’t worry—when I capture that giant mermaid, I’ll let you play with her too.”
What in the world?
The crowd froze, struggling to process Charloss’ cheerful expression.
A World Noble calling a Navy officer “buddy”?
Kuro twitched his lips. “Been a while, trash. What nonsense are you spewing now?”
“I wanna make her my pet!” Charloss beamed.
Kuro seized his shoulder, steering him toward the exit. “Didn’t I tell you? Don’t run around aimlessly unless you’ve got a reason.”
“But I’m in Mariejois! Can’t I play here? I don’t care—I want her!” Charloss sniffled.
“What use is she? Your aesthetic sense is broken. A World Noble needs refinement. Otherwise, you’re no better than ordinary mortals.”
Kuro turned, pointing at Shirahoshi. “Look at her. Fragile, weak, collapsing at a touch—her body’s as brittle as paper. A few bumps and she’s already wounded. Only her looks are decent. She’s fake, trash. Go for the real thing.”
“The true mermaid? They’re like Grand Line legends—just hearing their song steals your soul. Their shrieks can unleash destruction. Impervious to blades and spears, with a colossal body no weaker than Shirahoshi. And they’re not ugly. You’re not that unattractive, are you?”
“In short, one’s reality, the other a legend. As a World Noble, why settle for ordinary mermaids? Chase the unique legends.”
“False mermaids are so weak, even ordinary men dare kill them. True mermaids are impervious to blades and spears, their mere scream unleashing devastating power.”
“Exactly! That’s Big·mom!”
Kuro nodded solemnly. “A World Noble like you should aim for the unparalleled. Only then can you prove your worth!”
“Is that so? Big·mom, huh? Is she really the biggest, strongest mermaid?” Charloss’ eyes widened.
“Of course! She’s terrifyingly powerful—I’m not even her match!” Kuro nodded furiously.
He guided Charloss toward the exit. “So stay out of here. Don’t you want your kin to envy you? Go home, prepare thoroughly, no matter how long it takes. Hunt the world’s greatest mermaid—Big·mom.”
With a push, he sent Charloss stumbling outside.
“Alright! I’ll definitely catch Big·mom as my pet! And I’ll let you play with her, my best friend!” Charloss bounced away, already imagining his kin’s envy.
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, trash.”
Kuro waved, watching Charloss skip off. His smile vanished instantly.
He turned to the guards at the entrance, snapping, “What the hell were you thinking? Don’t you know this is the World Meeting period? Why let every random bastard in? You think guarding these Royal Family brats is easy for us Navy? If someone gets hurt, it’s not just their ass on the line—it’s ours! Where’s the Navy’s dignity?!”
“Vice Admiral, that’s…”
The armored guard hesitated. “But he’s a World Noble—we can’t help it.”
“So what if he’s a World Noble? Can’t you solve problems creatively? Just lock the gates and tell them to get lost!”
Kuro rolled his eyes, cursing. “Now shut the gates and vanish!”
“Yes!” The guards saluted, hurriedly closed the doors, and slunk away.
“There, there. No harm done.”
Kuro clapped, turning back with a grin. “Carry on with your banquet, your dances. Just a small incident—nothing to worry about.”
“Hah! Kuro, you handled that well,” Garp chuckled, approaching. “But Big·mom? What if he actually goes after her?”
“Let him. The fool deserves to chase shadows. Big·mom’s no easy catch.” Kuro bit his cigar, exhaling smoke.
“You’re cruel. He’s already stupid enough,” Garp laughed.
Kuro shrugged indifferently.
Nearby, David and the other Kings stared, stunned.
So this was how close the Lord and World Nobles were. No wonder he dared act so recklessly.
With such connections, who wouldn’t fear nothing?
