As soon as he entered his sister's room, he saw Kurozumushi Kure lying on the ground, staring at the doorway with hatred in her eyes.
"Sis! What's going on? Why are you lying on the ground?"
Kurozumushi Maru hurriedly stepped forward to help Kurozumushi Kure up, and he instantly sobered up from the alcohol.
Looking at the red mark on his sister's neck, Kurozumushi Maru had a bad feeling.
Sometimes when he was doing that kind of thing, he also liked to choke someone there.
Could it be that Sharo came here just now and did that to his sister?
The more Kurozumushi Maru thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, Sharo was a lecher.
What if he just liked girls like his sister?
Lost in these wild thoughts, Kurozumushi Maru didn't notice the expression on his sister Kurozumushi Kure's face at all.
"Where were you just now? Your sister almost died, and you didn't even know!"
Kurozumushi Kure grabbed Kurozumushi Maru's ear and shouted.
"Sis! Sis! Let go quickly. It's going to be pulled off. I was just in the pleasure district of Wano Country and just came back!"
Hearing that he was in the pleasure district, Kurozumushi Kure got even angrier.
"Do you know what Sharo came for? He found out that we're from Wano Country. Just now he threatened me to hand over the training method of Ryuo Haki. He almost killed your sister for this!"
Kurozumushi Kure shouted at Kurozumushi Maru, still pulling his ear.
"What! This guy actually dared to threaten my sister. I'll go and kill him right now!"
After hearing what Kurozumushi Kure said, Kurozumushi Maru got so angry that he immediately wanted to cause trouble for Sharo.
"Come back! Can you beat him?"
Kurozumushi Kure grabbed Kurozumushi Maru and said.
"Uh... I... I..."
Kurozumushi Maru stammered and couldn't say a word after hearing Kurozumushi Kure's words.
"Are you going there to get yourself killed?"
Kurozumushi Kure looked at her useless younger brother Kurozumushi Maru and felt a headache coming on.
"Humph! I can't beat him, but he won't be able to kill me either!"
Kurozumushi Maru said this with great confidence.
This confidence stemmed from his Devil Fruit ability.
The Paramecia-type Barrier Barrier Fruit gave him invincible defense.
The main reason why the siblings were able to join the Rocks Pirates and become cadres of the Rocks Pirates was this Barrier Barrier Fruit.
"Forget it. We'll settle this humiliation with him later. Anyway, he didn't get the training method of Ryuo Haki from me!"
Kurozumushi Kure shook her head. It wasn't worth causing trouble for Sharo now.
After hearing what Kurozumushi Kure said, Kurozumushi Maru let out a sigh of relief.
Don't be fooled by his brave and fearless act just now. In fact, it was all an act.
Just the thought of Sharo's slashes sent shivers down his spine, let alone fighting him.
...
After getting the training method of Ryuo Haki, Sharo returned to his training ground. After checking Kurozumushi Kure's memory, Sharo found that the so - called Ryuo Haki was to make the Haki flow like a liquid, which really surprised Sharo. After all, Armament Haki was about hardening. Whether it was covering the body or weapons, it could enhance the lethality or defense.
Of course, what's even more crucial is the ability to seize the physical form of Logia Devil Fruit users. That's the most crucial part.
Otherwise, without Armament Haki, it's absolutely impossible to defeat Logia users.
"Let's start by practicing the flow!"
After seeing the training method of Armament Haki, Xia Luo immediately decided on his training sequence.
This day.
Xia Luo was still training near his base.
"Boss! Boss!"
An urgent voice rang out.
Xia Luo stopped punching and looked in the direction of the voice.
Around Xia Luo were all broken stones and wooden fragments, which were smashed when he was practicing punches.
Seeing it was his crew member, Xia Luo asked.
"What the hell's going on? Why are you so rushed!"
"Boss! Our supplies are all used up, and we're broke!"
The crew member ran over and said.
Hearing that they were out of money, Xia Luo frowned as well.
Since he practiced every day and didn't go on raids, it was inevitable that he would sit idle and eat up all resources. But he didn't expect to run out of money so soon.
If they wanted to get money, robbing was definitely the fastest way!
"Go and prepare the ship. Let's set sail! I'll go tell Rocks."
Xia Luo gave the order.
Then he put on his clothes and headed towards the center of the island.
His ship had been built before. He was also very satisfied with it. It was a rare wooden sailing ship on the sea, 120 meters long and 20 meters wide, big enough to hold over 800 people.
If it were an ironclad ship from his previous life, a ship of this size would be able to hold over a thousand people.
However, for such a large ship, it would take nearly seventy helmsmen.
Even the combat personnel were required by Xia Luo to know how to operate the sails.
When he reached the hall, Xia Luo smelled the scent of wine and various kinds of food.
"Yo! Isn't this our Xia Luo baby? Why are you here today!"
Xia Luo didn't even need to look to know who was speaking.
"John, if you don't want your head, I can help you take it off for free!"
Xia Luo gave John a cold look.
"Jiehahahaha! Exactly! Exactly! John, if you don't want it, I can also help! Jiehahahahaha!"
Shiki the Golden Lion also laughed heartily.
"Guahahahaha!"
Whitebeard also laughed.
And John was looking at Shiki the Golden Lion with a livid face.
What Xia Luo said didn't really anger John. After all, they'd been together for almost half a year, and this guy always had a poker face.
But when Shiki jumped in, it was a different story.
Watching the bickering among the cadres below, Rocks didn't interfere.
"Xia Luo, did you come here for something?"
Rocks asked while sitting on the throne.
After hearing Rocks' question, all the pirates who had just been laughing and joking around all shut up and looked at Xia Luo.
"My division is out of money. We need to go out to sea and rob some!"
Xia Luo said indifferently. It was as if robbing was as normal to him as eating and drinking.
" Wahahahaha! No problem, of course it's no problem. We're pirates after all! Isn't it normal to plunder?"
I'm giving you a task. Go raid this kingdom, chop off the king's head and bring it to me. I'll let you keep half of the treasures."
Rocks tossed out a map with a kingdom marked on it.
The Kingdom of Colente.
This kingdom was right next to their waters.
No one knew what it had done to piss off Rocks.
Charlotte felt pity for it.
After taking the map, Charlotte nodded.
"Got it!"
Then he walked out of the hall.
As Charlotte walked out, Rocks mused to himself. Here was a cadre who cared nothing for treasures, nor the fun and feasts. All he wanted was to get stronger.
Rocks wasn't worried that once he got stronger, he'd break loose from his grip.
He was just worried that the guy didn't give a damn about anything. Rocks really admired this kind of genius.
This was the kind of guy he'd been after all along.
How the hell can you make it big without a few good underlings?
