Not Much

"Moonlight, watch out!"

"Oh no!"

Seeing this, Nami and Usopp hurriedly shouted.

First Zoro, then Luffy—the enemy's strength had already surpassed all expectations!

Even a Devil Fruit user like Luffy had fallen. Could Moonlight really stand against them?

"Kid, you're pretty capable, but can you take all of us on by yourself? Especially now that they've been hypnotized by me—their combat power has increased tenfold!"

Jango sneered.

Moonlight was indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he was only one person.

"I'll give you another ten seconds!"

Kuro began counting down directly. He was already extremely impatient!

"If you don't want to make the captain angry, hurry up and finish him!"

Hearing this, Jango's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted in every direction.

The hypnotized men also trembled, as if those words had stirred their hypnotized souls.

They became even more frenzied!

"Kill him! Hurry up and complete the captain's mission, or he'll be unhappy!"

"We absolutely cannot make the captain unhappy, or we're dead!"

"That's right! We have to complete the captain's mission. We only have ten minutes!"

Everyone grew anxious.

"Moonlight!"

"Run!"

Nami and Usopp hurriedly shouted.

"Don't worry. They're nothing to me!"

"On the other hand, you two should stay farther away. It wouldn't be good if you got caught up in this."

Moonlight smiled and walked toward them without a care.

"Stay farther away?"

"Get caught up in this?"

Nami and Usopp were baffled.

"He actually charged over here alone!"

Jango snorted coldly. Moonlight was looking down on them far too much.

"Damn it, I'm a member of the Kuro Pirates, after all. When have I ever been looked down on like this?"

"You're courting death!"

"Die!"

All the Pirates instantly flew into a rage.

They were hardened men who lived by the blade, killing and plundering!

Moonlight was looking down on them far too much.

"Looking down on you? That's just what you think."

Moonlight smiled.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

His pupils flashed, and a blue wave of energy violently burst outward from him!

Everything within a hundred meters was caught in it!

"Thud... thud!"

One after another, the charging Pirates froze on the spot, then collapsed unconscious, foam spilling from their mouths!

In the end, every Pirate within a hundred meters had fallen unconscious and lost the ability to fight!

Some had even soaked themselves completely!

Even Jango's eyes widened as he suddenly dropped to his knees!

Though he was in better shape than the others, he looked as if he had just suffered a nightmare. Sweat drenched his entire body, and he had lost his ability to fight!

The Pirates beyond a hundred meters, who had been about to charge forward, stood frozen in place as if immobilized!

Jango was weakened, and the hypnosis was broken!

"What just happened?!"

"What happened?"

"Is this for real?!"

Their faces were filled with shock.

Yet no one knew what had happened!

They stood where they were, not daring to take a single step forward!

"What happened?!"

Usopp's face was filled with utter shock.

"Did Moonlight do this?"

Nami was equally stunned as she looked at Moonlight.

"Hm?"

Kuro's pupils contracted as he adjusted his glasses!

His feet flickered!

"Silent Killing!"

He appeared behind Moonlight without a sound, both clawed hands thrusting forward!

"Heh."

Moonlight smiled faintly and swung the Kusanagi Sword!

"Three-Stage Slash!"

"Bang!"

A crescent-shaped Sword Aura bloomed from the blade!

The Sword Aura erupted, instantly unleashing three consecutive slashes!

"Crack!"

Kuro's iron claw on his left hand was instantly sent flying!

Half his body was blasted away along with it by the Sword Aura!

"Captain Kuro!"

"He actually blocked Captain Kuro's Silent Killing!"

"How could this happen?!"

Seeing that Kuro had not only failed but had also been seriously injured, all the Pirates were stunned!

That was Captain Kuro, known as Hundred Plans!

"He's amazing! This Moonlight is really amazing!"

Usopp stared at Moonlight with his mouth hanging open, his face full of shock.

"It's more than amazing. This is a complete crushing victory!"

Nami was also stunned. She had seen much in her life, but this was the first time she had encountered someone as powerful as Moonlight!

"Too weak. With this little strength, you think you deserve to be captain?"

After sending Kuro flying with one slash, Moonlight said disdainfully.

"Heh."

However, Kuro did not care at all. He merely gave a cruel smile!

One hand hanging at his side, his body began to sway like a drunk man!

Seeing that posture, all the Pirates cried out in terror.

Their expressions were as though they had seen something terrifying!

"No, Captain Kuro! Don't use Spoon!"

"Ah! That's Spoon! Captain Kuro, please, don't use that move!"

"We'll listen to anything you say! We'll do whatever you want, just please don't use that move!"

"Ah, Captain Kuro!"

All the Pirates wore expressions of impending doom, filled with terror and despair.

Clearly, this move was no ordinary technique!

"What is Spoon?"

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Usopp and Nami were confused.

"It's Captain Kuro's ultimate technique, a deadly secret art centered around Silent Killing. It's so fast when used that even Captain Kuro himself cannot control that speed, so it's an indiscriminate killing technique!"

Jango explained in a trembling voice.

Seeing Captain Kuro in that stance, he began trembling as well!

"What?! An indiscriminate killing technique? That means even he doesn't know who he's killing?"

Usopp and Nami could not help but shudder.

"That's right!"

Jango nodded, his face full of despair.

Now, no one could stop Kuro!

"Silent Killing Technique? Just a petty trick that damages the body and moves at high speed. Heh!"

Hearing that, Moonlight laughed disdainfully.

"Heh, I admit that you're powerful, but you're underestimating Captain Kuro too much. This Silent Killing Technique is far more terrifying than you imagine!"

Jango laughed coldly, unconvinced by Moonlight's confidence.

"Is that so?"

Moonlight smiled faintly.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, Kuro's body suddenly vanished!

The Silent Killing Technique had begun!

"Ah, Captain Kuro, don't!"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Stop! Please, stop!"

Seeing this, all the Pirates broke down and pleaded repeatedly.

"Hmph!"

Moonlight sneered!

The Kusanagi Sword was drawn!

"Buzz!"

A crescent-shaped Sword Aura swept out in a fan-shaped arc.

One slash cut across the sky, and in the next moment, a violent explosion rang out!

Kuro, who had vanished, was instantly sent flying, and the iron claw on his right hand disappeared as well.

His entire body flew backward and smashed viciously into the artificial hill behind him!

"Bang!"

Blood sprayed wildly. Severely injured, he passed out completely!

The entire area fell silent!

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, too stunned to speak.
