"Stolen from the pirates?"
Usopp listened, suddenly pausing.
However, considering that Tushan could casually block his hidden ammunition with just an orange seed, dealing with some pirates might indeed be a trivial matter for someone with such terrifying strength.
"But even if you aren't pirates, what are you doing here?"
"Coming here is naturally related to what I heard from those pirates."
Tushan casually responded, "At that time, I beat those guys so badly they were rolling on the ground, and someone on the ship dared to threaten me, saying their captain Kuro wouldn't let me go..."
"I was curious, wasn't the Hundred Plans Kuro of the East Blue already captured by the Navy years ago?"
Hearing this, Usopp, Kaya, Makino, and Nami were all drawn into Tushan's emotionless narrative.
After all, as people from the East Blue, they were all aware of the story of the Hundred Plans Kuro.
He was indeed confirmed to have been captured by the Navy!
While they were still puzzled, Tushan continued with the lines he had constructed in his mind.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
The group unconsciously echoed.
"Heh, that guy actually told me that Kuro being captured by the Navy was just a play put on by Kuro himself!"
"The real Kuro actually hid his identity, pretending to be a butler in the villa of Syrup Village, aiming to gain the trust of the villagers and the villa owner, and eventually seize all the property!"
"As someone who has always hated evil, I naturally couldn't just ignore it..."
Tushan clicked his tongue as he spoke.
"Of course, it's also to eliminate future troubles. Since I dealt with his pirate crew, to prevent him from targeting me in the future, I might as well come to him today and completely resolve the matter!"
As his words fell, the entire place fell silent!
No one knew that the pirate Kuro had such a follow-up!
Moreover, Usopp and Kaya finally realized something was amiss...
"That butler..."
"Could it be..."
"Klahadore?!"
Usopp and Kaya simultaneously turned their heads, looking incredulously at Kuro, whose expression had drastically changed.
"Butler Klahadore... is what he said true?" Kaya asked, covering her mouth in disbelief.
For the past three years, Kuro's meticulous care hadn't shown any signs of being suspicious.
Being suddenly told such a thing was indeed hard to accept!
But now, upon reflection, it seemed that Kuro's disappearance and Klahadore's appearance happened around the same time!
Listening to Kaya's inquiry, Kuro's eyes flickered as he suppressed the cold anger in his heart, pondering how to respond.
Although he could clearly see that Tushan was just making things up, the problem was that what he made up matched his situation perfectly!
This left Kuro unsure whether to believe what Tushan said.
He didn't know if his Black Cat Pirates had really been dealt with!
However, having endured for three years, Kuro didn't want his plan to be ruined inexplicably.
Forcing himself to calm down, he smiled, "Miss Kaya, it seems this guy is just a big talker from who knows where."
"His storytelling ability is on par with Usopp here, wouldn't you say? Haha."
"If Miss Kaya were to be deceived by such an unknown person with just a few words, wouldn't my actions over the past three years seem too ridiculous?"
"Miss Kaya, I believe you are no longer the kind of girl who can be easily fooled."
After Kuro finished speaking, Kaya frowned and blinked.
Indeed, she had truly witnessed Kuro's behavior over the past three years.
Being suddenly told that someone who had cared for you like family was actually a villain was something hard for anyone to accept!
The balance in Kaya's heart quickly tilted towards Kuro.
Tushan could also sense Kaya's hesitation at this moment.
However, he felt no worry in his heart.
After all, his earlier lines weren't meant for Kaya and the others.
What he wanted to do was to disrupt Kuro's mind.
With his clumsy performance, he aimed to make Kuro, the master of acting, unable to continue his act!
After all, he needed to gain Kaya's trust.
And relying on his words alone was impossible.
Only by making Kuro unable to keep pretending could he stop his own act...
Seeing Kuro gradually regain some composure, Tushan merely smiled casually, "Heh, whether others believe it or not has nothing to do with me."
"I've said it before, I'm here to eliminate future troubles and completely get rid of you!"
"If you want to keep pretending, go ahead."
As his words fell, Tushan finally put away his smile, and a large sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
It was none other than the Executioner's Blade from the world of [Naruto]!
As soon as the large sword appeared, Usopp and Kaya, who hadn't fully grasped the situation, were startled and quickly retreated.
Then they saw Tushan's demeanor change, his body rapidly charging towards Kuro.
The large sword in his hand was raised high, directly aiming to strike Kuro!
Tushan's speed was greatly restrained; otherwise, Kuro wouldn't even have a chance to dodge.
But now, with his current speed, Kuro would have to reveal his true strength to evade!
Watching the rapidly approaching figure, Kuro's expression changed.
If he showed his true strength, his three-year plan would evaporate in an instant!
Turning his three years into a complete joke!
But if he didn't dodge, the guy in front of him might really chop him down without mercy!
Thinking this, Kuro finally gritted his teeth and pretended to be panicked, falling to the ground.
He was clearly prepared to keep pretending!
"I refuse to believe... what this guy says is true!!"
Kuro shouted internally.
What Tushan said earlier, along with his clumsy acting, was clearly made up!
Although he didn't know why the other party knew his true identity, Kuro decided to gamble!
Gamble that Tushan wasn't really here to kill him!
As Tushan was about to reach Kuro, seeing the other party seemingly determined to continue acting, his eyes also changed slightly.
If he killed Kuro just like that, it would be hard to gain Kaya's trust!
A hint of malice appeared on his face.
His charging figure didn't pause at all, but the position of the sword's strike shifted slightly.
Finally!
Under the surprised gazes of Kaya and Usopp, and Kuro's suddenly somewhat crazed eyes.
The Executioner's Blade fell.
Kuro's arm was severed.
A spray of blood erupted in the scene!
Tushan indeed didn't deliver a killing blow.
But he wanted to see how long Kuro could endure!
Feeling the intense pain from his body, Kuro couldn't help but let out a scream. Looking at his severed left arm, a monstrous killing intent finally rose in his heart!
He was known for his weapon, the 'Ten-Blade Cat Claws,' wielded with both hands.
Now, with one arm severed by Tushan, even if he could act his way through, it would be a huge blow to him in the future!
And at this moment.
Not only did Usopp and Kaya believe Kuro was being wronged, thinking Tushan was a complete mad pirate, but even Makino and Nami from afar thought perhaps Tushan had made a mistake.
Before anyone could speak.
Tushan, standing high above, once again raised the large sword with a cold smile.
Aiming at Kuro's other arm.
"If I cut off another arm and you still don't react... then it seems I really misunderstood you. I'll apologize then~"
Tushan spoke with a sinister expression, the large sword in his hand mercilessly descending towards Kuro's right arm!
"Tushan!!"
"Butler Klahadore!!"
In the scene.
Several cries of alarm rang out simultaneously.
Finally.
The always pretending-to-be-weak Kuro let out a fierce roar!
"I'll cut you to pieces!! You bastard!!"
