Chapter 17

"Hey, look at his posture..."

"Could it be that he's going to use that trick?"

"Just to deal with that person?"

"No, no!"

Seeing Kuro standing in the same place and lowering her head like a zombie trembling gently from side to side, the pirates' faces were all shocked, even so they couldn't move because they were still affected by Kondo's killing intent.

"It's that move! It's really that move!"

"Does he care whether we live or die?"

"You are so ruthless, Captain!"

"No, Captain!"

One by one, the pirates shouted.

Before the enemy said anything, they panicked first.

Kondo, who saw this could only say that this was Kuro's trump card, as if he had entered a dying state, but in reality, he was using silent steps to attack indiscriminately, accelerating his speed to the extreme, so fast that he even can reach the next moment. Don't know what to cut. This technique is called...

"Shakusi!"

After two minutes of silence, Kuro's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the next moment, in the air, on the rocks, and among the crowd, there were continuous flashes of swords, lights, and swords.

The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh, was followed by the screams of people screaming in pain.

"Captain! You can't do this to us!"

"Please stop! Captain!"

On the pirate side, the blood-red light stuttered continuously. A place with more people is more like hell on earth. Many pirates had barely any uncut flesh on their bodies. Their appearances were hideous, and they fell directly into the pool of blood, dying.

Right now, Kuro is more like a tragic horror killer.

Gradually, he finally forced Kondo's side.

Kondo's eyes narrowed, and he injected Reiatsu into his Zanpakutō.

In an instant, the blade was enveloped in flames that were slightly larger than before fighting the Hollow, with the combination of Shunpo, Zanjutsu and Spiritual Sense being pushed to the brink.

Where did Kuro's sharp sword come from, Kondo moved very quickly and blocked Kuro's attack.

"Then... that person..."

"Is he also a devil fruit person?"

"Good... very strong..."

Some of the lightly injured pirates were still paying attention to the battle here, constantly exclaiming at the abilities Kondo had displayed.

No matter how many attacks Kuro made, he was blocked by him. Kuro's dozens of slashes didn't hurt a single hair on Kondo.

"I said, you should have had enough fun, right?"

"So now it's my turn"

The killing intent reached its peak, Kondo moved, his Zanpakutō injected most of his Reiatsu and the flames which could only partially cover the blade, started to cover the entire blade and the flames started to expand and the temperature rose even higher, Kondo Shunpo was right in front of Kuro, then quickly slashed between Kuro's chest.

A torrent of blood spurted out without warning, and Kuro suddenly fell to the ground, and everyone saw him again.

The fire on Kondo's Zanpakutō slowly dissipates and returns to its normal Zanpakutō appearance.

Kuro's glasses were knocked off and he lay on the ground with an expression of disbelief.

Who is this child?

At the same time, Zoro slashed Butchi who was fleeing to the ground with [Santoryū • Onigiri]. Jango was also knocked down by Usopp with [Hisatsu • Gunpowder Star].

Luffy also gradually wakes up.

"What is it?" Luffy woke up and looked left and right, the battlefield was already in chaos.

"The evil housekeeper is here too, I will knock you out!" Luffy finally aimed his target at Kuro, and then he aimed at Kuro, his arm suddenly stretched out:

"Gomu Gomu no bazooka!"

Kuro just got hit hard and got up from the ground with great difficulty, and then was hit between the waist and stomach by Luffy. After that punch, Kuro immediately fainted...

Kuro was defeated, and Kondo felt his power increase and he looked at the system panel.

{Template: Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni}

{Process: 12.9%}

{Zanpakutō: Ryūjin Jakka, Shikai (Sealed), Bankai (Sealed)}

{Kido: Hado#1-Hado#20 Bakudo#1-Bakudo#20}

{Hakuda: Ikkotsu (Locked) Sōkotsu (Locked)}

{Hohō: Shunpo (Unlocked)}

{Zanjutsu: Rhino Strike, Remnant Heart, Shushō}

Seeing the increase in his strength, Kondo was slightly surprised, 'Come to think of it, during the previous hollow fight, I drained more than 50% of Reiatsu, but after defeating him, not only did he recover to full state, but also my strength increased greatly, probably due to defeating the rest of the pirates. Ghost Fist and beating up those pigs and monkeys allowed me to touch kido no.11 to no.20'

For Kondo this is really good, he is getting closer to his shikai and getting closer to unlocking other techniques.

...

The Black Cat Pirates, including Kuro, were all expelled from the village. The village was as quiet as ever, as if nothing had happened.

Inside the restaurant in the village.

"It's really thanks to you, if it weren't for you, this village would be over."

Usopp sincerely thanked the four.

Kondo: "Don't say that, what happened is forget it"

Luffy devours: "That's right... that's right."

Nami: "Don't say that, our treasure is still there."

Luffy was eating fish, and he ate it so hard that the fish bone stuck in his throat, his whole hand went into his mouth, tears came out, but he didn't let them out.

At this time, Kaya came.

"Hello, Miss Kaya." You take the initiative to say hello.

Kaya said directly: "You... don't you need a ship?"

When Luffy heard this, he didn't know where the power came from, but he suddenly took out the fishbone, showing an expression of great joy: "Are you going to give it to us?"

After this, Kaya brought some people to the beach.

"Wow!"

"What!"

"This is good!!"

A sheep-headed ship is stationed in the harbor, and Luffy and the others exclaim.

Merry stood under the boat and said with a smile: "I have made you wait a long time, although the style of the boat is a bit old, but this is what I designed. A Caravel, I named it [Merry Go]."

Luffy raised his fist happily: "Do you really want to give us this ship?"

Kaya is very generous: "Yes, please take it."

Seeing that everyone liked it so much, Merry was also very happy: "Next, I will give you a detailed method of operating the ship..."

Kondo didn't listen because he wasn't interested.

Nami understood everything. Of course, this guy Luffy didn't understand a word, but he still looked up and down the entire ship: "This is a very good ship..."

Kaya smiled: "Everything you need to go out to sea has been put on board."

Luffy looked at Kaya stupidly: "Thank you, you are really arbitrary!"

There was a drop of cold sweat on the back of Kondo's head: "Should be 'wise', right?"

"Wow ah ah ah ah..."

While some people were talking they saw Usopp rolling down the slope.

Turns out he was carrying a backpack twice his size, it was full of stuff, he lost his footing on the slope and lost his center of gravity, and was rolling around in a ball.

Kaya: "Usopp?!"

Luffy scratched his head: "What is that guy doing?"

Kondo folded his arms: "Anyway, help him stop first, or he'll crash into the boat."

So Luffy and Zoro facing the direction Usopp rolled over, each of them extended a leg and placed their foot firmly on Usopp's face.

"Thank you...Thank you..." The two of them supported Usopp not to roll over into the sea, and Usopp also thanked them.

Kondo: "You're welcome, you're welcome."

On the beach, a small boat has stopped a long time ago, it turns out that Usopp himself is already preparing to become a pirate.

Seeing this, Kaya showed an obviously sad expression: "You...Are you going to leave..."

Usopp put his luggage on the boat: "Yes, before I change my mind, I have to go. Don't hold me back."

Kaya sighed but she wanted to say something but stopped.

Then Usopp pointed at himself with his thumb: "When I come back, I will definitely tell you a better adventure story than lies."

"Well, I will wait for you."

Then, he turned to Kondo and the others: "You also have to be careful, we will definitely meet at sea."

Kondo: "What are you talking about brat?"

Usopp spread his hands: "Huh? You are really slow, I will be a pirate from now on, we will meet at sea."

Zoro leaned against the mast and pointed at the boat: "What are you talking about? Get on here quickly!"

"What?"

Luffy: "Haven't we been friends for a long time?"

"This..." Usopp was stunned for three seconds when he first heard this, then slowly opened his eyes and ran to Merry, "The captain...the captain is me!"

Luffy's head gets bigger: "Nonsense! The captain is me!!"

"Then I'll be vice-captain first!"

Kondo and Luffy have the exact same posture: "The vice-captain is me!!"

And just like that, Usopp joined Luffy's gang.

Seeing Merry sailing away, Kaya sat sadly under a tree.

Merry put his hands behind his back: "Miss, you actually want to keep Usopp from leaving, right?"

Hearing this, Kaya couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and buried her head in her knees...

"Cheers!"

With new friends and a new ship, everyone is very happy and toasts.

No matter how difficult the road ahead, the five people inside believed they were headed in the right direction. And they believe that no matter how difficult the adventures ahead may be, they are closer to happiness than standing still.

With large ships, pirate groups also formed, and less pirate flags.

So, Luffy splattered ink onto a piece of black cloth, and in less than three minutes, he completed his masterpiece: "Done!"

He held up his work confidently, and the four of them frowned as they watched.

The skull in the straw hat, twisted and twisted, the shape is barely visible.

The four stood in a row, just like the four judges. Nami was the first to speak: "This guy, at a glance, knows that he has no talent for art."

Kondo touched his chin: "No, from a certain point of view, this is also a kind of art (abstract painting? But this painting doesn't look abstract, maybe a little tense)."

Zoro folded his arms: "Pirate flag is a symbol of death, you..."

Luffy still smiled stupidly, as if he didn't understand everyone's words: "How is my drawing?"

Usopp looked serious: "You are too ugly to draw, I will draw it!"

It didn't take long for Usopp to finish his own "job".

This painting is pretty good, and it sure could be hoisted, but...

The image is of a long-nosed skeleton with a mesh hood, and the two skeletons behind it are two catapults.

Usopp still wants to seize power and become captain.

Luffy, Kondo, and Zoro punched one by one.

Usopp "reluctantly" created it again, and a beautiful straw hat and skull flag appeared before everyone's eyes.

Usopp waves the flag.

"Done! The pirate ship [Merry Go] is finished!"

I don't know how many days have passed, on a quiet afternoon, [Merry] was sailing on the sea, Zoro was taking a leisurely nap and Kondo was training on the back deck of the ship, Doing physical training 5000 times each and swinging his katana 10000 times, he now wearing the Shihakusho without the Haori.

Suddenly, with a cannon blast, Zoro woke up from his dream but Kondo ignored him.

"Scared me, what are you guys doing?"

Zoro looks at the side of the boat, Luffy and Usopp are operating small artillery.

Luffy aimed his muzzle at a small rocky mountain in the distance, but missed several shots.

"You are so stupid, look at me!"

Usopp pushed Luffy aside, took aim and slightly adjusted his position.

"It should be about the same, right?" Usopp thought to himself, and shot straight.

"Boom", the cannon smashed into the rocks in the distance.

"Wow! One shot worked, Sugoi!" Luffy was surprised.

'Totally on point!'

In fact, Usopp himself didn't think about it, this is what is called talent.

"That's called strength! If you admire me, call me captain!" Usopp was so proud that he didn't know why.

Luffy: "I decide, you will be everyone's sniper!"

"What, not captain!"

"The captain is me!"

"Okay, I'll let you go for a while. If you don't pass the job, give me the position of captain immediately."

"OKAY."

While the two were chatting, two big men with swords got on the ship and kicked the wooden barrel next to them: "Get out you guys, you Bastard pirates! I want to kill you all!"

Zoro thought it was too noisy on deck, and didn't know when to go back to the cabin to sleep, but Usopp saw that the two men were aggressive, so he hid aside in fear.

Kondo who heard the commotion still ignored him, he thought Luffy and Zoro would definitely be able to take care of them, so he continued his training until it was finished, "9893....9894....9895"

Lutfi: "Who are you?"

"No matter who I am, an unknown pirate like you, just die!"

One of them took out a sword and slashed straight at Luffy, Luffy's figure was as agile as a monkey, and he immediately dodged the slash.

"Don't wreak havoc on my ship!"

Even though Luffy is usually dim-witted, he is also a temperamental person. When he saw this, he immediately became angry. He stretched out his hand and punched his face firmly on the deck.

Zoro in the cabin who heard the movement finally came out.
