Chapter 942: Are You Referring to Ruining My Clothes?
Chapter 942: Are You Referring to Ruining My Clothes?
Kaido and Charlotte·Big Mom exchanged glances, their expressions turning grave.
That visible aura could only be Killing Intent.
They already knew Kuro possessed Killing Intent and acknowledged his strength. But even strong men had tiers. In Kaido and Big Mom’s eyes, Kuro was still a "youngster"—a junior they admired and praised, but never placed at their own level.
Beyond his insufficient raw power at the time, there was one critical lacking—Conqueror’s Haki!
That innate strength ability possessed by only one in a million people.
Or more precisely, the Conqueror’s Haki Encasement—an ability so rare that even the Grand Line’s elite struggled to master.
Given Kuro’s current strength and age, perhaps in another decade they’d consider him their equal. But that was the future.
Inflicting wounds on them wasn’t particularly impressive.
Only possessing the strength to kill them would be a true threat.
Now, Kuro wielded that strength—his Killing Intent, rivaling theirs’ Conqueror’s Haki, and his blade’s Killing Intent Encasement.
Crackle!
Black thunder erupted from Kaido’s Wolf’s Spirit Thundercloud, surging wildly.
Charlotte·Big Mom’s Napoleon flared with white-flame lightning aura.
Being slashed by that Killing Intent Encasement wasn’t just about leaving scars.
But still—
“Ho-ho-ho-ho! Kuro, come at me!” Kaido roared with laughter.
Whoosh!
Before his voice faded, Kuro’s figure blurred, springing forward to slash downward.
Kaido raised his club to counter, but the blade’s silhouette suddenly vanished at extreme speed.
Clang!!
On the other side, Charlotte·Big Mom swung Napoleon, twisting mid-air to intercept Kuro’s sudden appearance, sending shockwaves rippling through the earth.
“Mamamama! Such a sneaky attack won’t work!” Charlotte·Big Mom cackled.
Hoo!
Kaido reacted instantly, slamming his club backward toward Kuro.
Kuro’s body shot upward, narrowly avoiding the Wolf’s Spirit Thundercloud’s thunderous strike. But as he evaded, Charlotte·Big Mom unleashed a wisp of lightning-fast impact.
“Viguo!”
“Tch!”
Kuro’s form flickered mid-air, leaving afterimages as he retreated from the shockwave’s range. The attack blasted skyward, but before he could stabilize, Kaido retracted his club and spat a wisp of flame energy.
“Heat Breath!”
Kuro’s eyes widened. He slashed the energy ball in half, splitting it into twin streams that scorched the ground.
The Energy Sphere Explosion tore two craters into the earth, igniting flames.
Humanoid-shaped compressed flame energy?!
Boom!
Simultaneously, Charlotte·Big Mom’s fist erupted, spewing fire that struck Kuro the moment he finished deflecting Kaido’s Heat Breath, slamming into him.
“Black Tortoise!” Kuro’s blade spun, his voice cold as he released a tortoise-shell-shaped defense.
Crash!
The turtle shell shield materialized before him, blocking the flames, which then spread outward along its surface.
“Ho-ho-ho-ho!”
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky—Kaido, gripping Wolf’s Spirit Thundercloud with both hands, crashing down with a thunder-charged strike aimed at shattering the tortoise shell.
Too fast to dodge!
Kuro’s eyes twitched. His two fingers glided rapidly across the Yokai Blade, its blood-red surface radiating golden light.
“Shinmeiryu Style—Ultimate Mystic Art!”
“Thunderous Trigrams!!”
Crack!
The Black Tortoise Mystic Art shattered. Kaido’s Iron Mace hurtled toward Kuro’s skull.
“Ultimate Mystic Art!!”
Kuro swung his blade upward in a reverse slash, meeting the mace mid-air.
Boom!!!
The ground beneath Kuro cracked and exploded, rubble flying as the shockwave carved a massive crater.
Yokai Blade and Iron Mace locked, Killing Intent and Haki swirling at their point of contact.
“Heh!” Kaido grinned malevolently at Kuro.
“Viguo!”
Charlotte·Big Mom materialized at Kuro’s flank, Napoleon unleashed a shockwave that engulfed him, sending him flying backward into a hillside, piercing through it entirely before skidding across the earth, leaving smoke and dust in his wake.
“Mamamama!” She laughed hysterically.
“Ho-ho-ho-ho!” Kaido landed, slinging Wolf’s Spirit Thundercloud over his shoulder, laughing too.
“Mother, it hurts!” the island cried.
“Mamamama, bear with it!” Charlotte·Big Mom replied, turning toward the smoke.
From the haze, a figure emerged.
The blood-stained Yokai Blade swept the smoke aside, revealing Kuro’s battered form—his clothes torn, full of holes.
“Nice power, right Kuro?” Charlotte·Big Mom taunted.
“What power?”
Kuro lifted his head, his voice cold. “Are you talking about ruining my clothes?”
Rip!
He tore off his shredded upper garment, revealing the twisted Sun Mark on his chest.
“Haa!”
In one breath, he expelled white energy, then inhaled it back, reapplying the Black Tortoise Body’s defensive aura.
Withdrawing the Yokai Blade, suddenly the sky rained countless fist-sized slash projectiles.
Before Charlotte·Big Mom and Kaido could react, Kuro swung his blade.
“White Tiger!”
A colossal White Tiger phantom emerged, claws slashing outward to lock onto them—its slash-based Mystic Art pulling targets into its killing range.
An unavoidable strike.
Clang! Clang!
Kaido and Big Mom raised their weapons, blocking the tiger claw slashes. But as they did, the rain slashes struck them.
“Azure Dragon Rain!”
Hiss! Hisss!
The rain slashes transformed into a dense network of cuts. However, their effectiveness was limited—mere scratches against their resilient bodies and Haki.
“Vermilion Bird!”
Kuro swung Yokai Blade again. A phoenix-shaped Vermilion Bird of slashes soared toward them.
“This trivial technique!”
Charlotte·Big Mom gripped Napoleon, smashing “Viguo” through the bird, tearing a hole through it.
“What are you doing, Kuro?!”
She shook her blade, repelling the rain. But the water immediately reformed into two colossal sea-water spheres engulfing her and Kaido.
The reconstituted Vermilion Bird closed in.
Boom!
Kaido swung his club, shattering the water sphere, then struck the Vermilion Bird with a thunder-encased Conqueror’s Haki strike, obliterating half of it.
“Take this seriously, Kuro!!” he roared.
“Old Man, I am serious!”
The voice echoed from behind Kaido.
Startled, he turned to see Kuro leaping down with both hands raised, delivering a thunderous overhead slash.
“Ultimate Mystic Art!!”
“Ho-ho-ho-ho! Still not enough!”
Kaido spun, swinging Wolf’s Spirit Thundercloud upward, black thunder crackling as he prepared to clash head-on.
But as his club neared Kuro, the latter’s form faded into a phantom image.
Hiss!!
Blood spurted from Charlotte·Big Mom’s waist.
