42- Ethan VS Kuro

"AAAAAA, MY ARM." The skinny person cried out in pain as he fell to the ground, firmly grasping the place where his arm was cut to stop the bleeding.

"BROTHER." The fat person exclaimed anxiously when he saw that his brother had cut off his arm.

At this moment, Kuro appeared at the top of the cliff while looking at his defeated pirates, only two of them remained on their feet.

Jango and the fat person get scared when they see Kuro, Jango tries to explain what happened but the words don't come out of his mouth out of fear.

"The sun has risen a long time ago, why didn't you stick to the plan?" Kuro said in an angry voice which made Jango shiver even more, Kuro looked at Ethan and the girls, "I didn't expect that you couldn't defeat these kids. The Black Cat Pirates aren't as strong as they used to be, ha Jango."

"You are all useless, so I will get rid of all of you." When Kuro said this, Jango felt frightened while the fat person felt angry.

"Who is useless? How dare you say that, Captain Kuro." The fat person said as he gritted his teeth and his eyes became bloodshot. "It is true that you were stronger than me three years ago but now it is not."

After the fat man finished his words, he quickly ran towards Kuro while trying to cut him with his claws, but Kuro disappeared from his place, moving so fast that no one could see him.

When Kuro appeared again, he was wearing the gloves to which the katana was attached, and the katana was stained with blood or more specifically the blood of the fat person, and Kuro killed him without any effort.

At this moment, kuro felt someone approaching behind him so he turned his face and saw that it was Kaya and was shocked that she was here, "Kaya-Ojou-sama, Wh.. why are you here?"

"Stop acting Klahdore or should I say Kuro, I know everything about you now," Kaya said angrily while looking at Kuro who used a gentle tone to ask her earlier.

'What is Kaya doing here? Didn't you promise to stay in the palace?' Ethan thought anxiously, he and his crew are far from where Kaya and Kuro are so if Kuro attacks her now he definitely won't be able to save her.

"Koro, I'll let you run away because you spent three years looking after me, but if you don't get out of here I will shoot you." Kaya aimed her gun at Kuro while gritting her teeth.

When Kaya did this, Kuro started telling her about the three years he had taken care of her which made her hesitate to shoot. Then Kuro quickly grabbed the gun from Kaya's hand, while saying, "All those three years were just for the moment I'm killing you now."

After Kuro said his words, he stabbed Kaya's chest with his weapon, tears were falling from Kaya's eyes as she looked at Kuro and then at the weapon piercing her chest and then fell to the ground. When Ethan saw this, he felt very angry for the first time since he came to this world.

From the moment Kaya appeared Ethan was moving towards her but he didn't arrive in time, he was moments late to get to Kaya, when Kuro killed her.

Ethan approached Kaya and looked at her face that was covered in tears and there was no trace of life in it, he closed her eyes that were open and said sadly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you."

"Why do you show sadness to someone who you just met yesterday, and I also couldn't understand why you tried to stop my plan." Kuro doesn't understand why Ethan is acting like this even though he's a pirate too.

"I'm the one who should ask you, how do you carelessly kill someone you lived with for three years? Why would you kill a nice person like Kaya?" Anger was burning in Ethan's chest, then his arms started to change and black scales started covering Ethan's arms and his nails started to lengthen to form claws.

Ethan moved toward Kuro and tried to punch his face, Kuro tilted his head aside to avoid her, so Ethan used his other hand to swing his sword toward Kuro.

"Stealth Walk"

Kuro used his feet skill to quickly move from his spot and disappeared.

Then he appeared behind Ethan and swing his claws to try to cut his back. Ethan discovered Kuro's actions so he quickly turned around and used his sword to repel Kuro's attack. After that, Ethan took a deep breath and let out the flames from his mouth in the direction of Kuro, but Kuro disappeared from his place. "Damn, he's so fast."

All the girls were watching this fight and Nami and Makino had worried expressions. Nami looked at Lucy and Zora and said worriedly, "We have to help Ethan. He's having trouble facing this person."

But Zora and Lucy didn't say anything and kept watching the fight which made Nami upset. "If you don't go help him, I will go help him."

When Nami started walking towards Ethan and Kuro, Zora grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to her original spot. "Nami, don't interfere in their fight."

"Nami. Zora is right, this is Ethan's fight and he should defeat that bastard." Lucy said seriously, then laughed lightly. "Shishishi, Don't worry, I'm sure Ethan can kick this bastard's ass."

When Nami wanted to argue, Kuina looked at her, "If we went to help him, it would be considered an insult to him."

"How could that be an insult?" Nami didn't understand Kuina's meaning, she was going to help him in the fight. How could that be an insult?

"If we go to help him that means we don't trust his strength and we think he can't defeat his opponent, and that's an insult to him" Alvida patted Nami on the shoulder and explained to her, but inside she also wanted to help Ethan while thinking 'We pirates don't care about honor, we can use any A way to take victory.'

But after thinking about it, Alvida shook her head and let the idea of ​​helping Ethan out of her head, 'I don't care about honor but if I did and Ethan got mad at me that would be bad.'

Alvida then notices the skinny person whose arm was cut off by Ethan holding his severed arm while trying to escape from the scene.

Alvida grabbed her mace tightly and quickly walked towards him 'Do you think you can escape'
