Chapter 81 It wasn't me who should have fled, it was them...
Having vented his frustrations, Kuroro walked out of the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] with a satisfied look on his face.
He noticed that the group members were all looking at him with a hesitant expression, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kuroro asked, puzzled.
Finally, Nobunaga walked up to him and whispered, "Commander... if you need to use the restroom, you can find a secluded place... you don't have to go to the apartment."
Nobunaga cautiously glanced at Kuroro's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"That apartment... has no running water, so you can't flush..."
"......"
"?"
That bastard spread rumors about me!
Kuroro's gaze swept over the group, but Bonney instinctively looked away.
Stop hiding, it's you!
Finally, after stacking the fifth large bag on Bonney's head, Kuroro clapped his hands with a refreshed expression.
"We should go now."
"By the way... where are the others?"
Kuroro looked surprised; they had been stuck here for quite some time.
Those two groups are much more reliable than Akin's combat group, why haven't they returned yet?
"Run! Run!"
"They're coming..."
Kuroro turned around at the sound and looked at Wapol, who was tied up like a dumpling.
Actually, he was very curious as to why Wapol was running away when they arrived, trying to escape his kingdom.
They flew in from the air, so they shouldn't have been exposed—
He had noticed it from the beginning: Wapol looked terrified and kept muttering something.
He got up, walked over to Walpo, and slowly knelt down in front of him.
"I noticed it from the beginning; you kept saying they were coming. Who's coming?"
Wapol recovered from his fear and looked at Chrollo with a complicated expression.
"It's them..."
"I received a message..."
"It's... the Blackbeard Pirates are coming!!!"
"You said you received news that the Blackbeard Pirates are here?" Kuroro asked with interest.
We met so soon?!
and many more......
He finally remembered what he had forgotten on Drum Island.
That means the Blackbeard Pirates once came here searching for something, and after failing to find it, they carried out a brutal and inhumane annihilation of the country.
This is why, in the original story, when Luffy and his crew arrived here, they encountered a paralyzed country and survivors who were extremely hostile to pirates.
"What's that Blackbeard guy looking for here?"
Almost instantly, Kuroro realized the truth: the Gluttony Fruit!
In the original story, Wapol received a tip-off before the Black Organization arrived, allowing him to escape in advance and become a pirate.
Unexpectedly, they caught us red-handed this time!
Blacklisted groups are great! Their bounties are quite high.
With their current strength, they are perfectly suited to clash with the current criminal gangs!
"This has potential!" Kuroro's eyes flashed with joy.
Wapol looked at these people who seemed indifferent after hearing about Blackbeard's reputation and thought they were ignorant fools who had never heard of the Blackbeard Pirates!
So he struggled frantically and roared:
Do you know who they are?
"Blackbeard!" Wapol muttered to himself.
"A pirate with a bounty of 540 million Berries! You're doomed if you run into him!"
"Ah—" Upon hearing this number, Kuroro's eyes instantly flashed with a blazing light comparable to a searchlight.
Walpo spoke fearfully, his voice trembling with tears:
"That person... is a monster! I heard he doesn't need to sleep! He looks like a demon! He's an absolutely dangerous individual!"
"If we don't escape... we'll all die..."
"I don't want to die..."
Kuroro pulled out the wanted poster the government had printed for him from his pocket and threw it at Wapol's face.
"Escape? Why should I escape?"
"Do you know who I am?" Kuroro asked in a smirk.
Wapol was stunned for a moment, then his eyes caught sight of the bounty poster that Kuroro had thrown in his face, and his eyes showed an expression of utter astonishment!
He first looked at Kuroro to confirm his appearance, then looked at the long string of numbers on the bounty poster and read it out in shock:
"720 million Berries!!!"
"That's right~" Kuroro squinted at him.
"So, as one of my most important collections, you absolutely cannot die."
Kuroro raised his head and looked towards the coastline on the other side of the mountain:
"It shouldn't be me running away, it should be him..."
Kuroro looked at the Fate Echo Compass on his wrist, sensing the emotions of everyone, and using this to determine the possible location of the Black Clan.
The intelligence team remained calm, and Pike and Shalnark conveyed to Kuroro that everything was going smoothly.
Obviously, they didn't encounter any shady groups.
The emotions conveyed by Machi and Nami, however, were heavy and urgent.
"It seems the supplies procurement team ran into trouble..." Kuroro quickly made a judgment.
However, the absence of panic or confusion in their expressions suggests that the battle has not yet begun.
"There's still time, but we need to hurry."
However, a hint of confusion appeared on Kuroro's brow.
Nami's side is alright; aside from all that, there's only anger... Clearly, the Black Organization's massacre has begun.
He just couldn't quite decipher the emotions of Machi, Shizuku, and Korbi that he sensed from the compass markings...
The emotion was one of solemnity and wariness, but also mixed with shock, disbelief, and a hint of hostility...
"Strange... do they have so many complicated emotions when they encounter the Black Gang? They shouldn't even know who Blackbeard is..."
Kuroro looked puzzled.
........
at the same time......
The observation deck located halfway up Drum Mountain at the end of the direction Kuroro was looking.
Machi and her three companions were hiding here, watching the town engulfed in flames below the watchtower.
Machi covered Nami's mouth tightly to prevent her from crying out.
In the small town,
A brutal and indiscriminate massacre is underway.
The members of the Black Gang are venting their anger over their failure to capture Wapol, and are indiscriminately attacking the citizens.
Blackbeard stood in the very center of town, an ambitious smile playing on his lips.
Beneath his feet, a heavy, despairing blackness spread like a tide, engulfing everything in its path and turning it into nothingness.
Burgess stood in a corner of town, holding a red-nosed man in his hand and laughing wildly.
With a red nose, bruises, and swollen face, covered in heavy clown makeup, and looking utterly miserable, it was clearly Bucky Barnes.
Before them lay houses reduced to ruins, and citizens beaten beyond recognition...
Van Augur's expression was as cold as ice as he held the golden spear.
Each trigger pull precisely takes away a life that tries to resist or escape.
Poison Q was still in the same dead state, slumped on his sick horse.
In front of him were rows and rows of plague victims, their faces turning blue or purple, struggling and collapsing.
Lafayette spread her pure white wings, circling in the smoke-filled sky, looking down at this hell on earth, a twisted smile on her face:
"That's fate—"
On the observation deck,
Nami looked down at her people who had fallen like weeds, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling violently with anger and sorrow.
But unlike Nami's pure grief and anger—
Machi, Shizuku, and Kubi stared intently at the only man in town who hadn't participated in the violence.
The man stood behind the group of people in the Black Gang, as quiet as an outsider.
With striking red hair, wearing a white performance costume adorned with playing card patterns, a beauty mark under her eye, and a faint, enigmatic smile playing on her lips.
The Magician - Hisoka.
Machi's gaze was extremely complex, a mixture of shock, disgust, vigilance, and an indescribable worry.
She gazed at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, whispering in a voice only she could hear:
"Something terrible has happened..."
"Commander... you'd better hurry!"
