Chapter 1422 Battle

"Hu~~" Kuro took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, as if to release all the fatigue and stress in his body.

He twisted his neck, and the joints made a crisp "cracking" sound, which was particularly abrupt in the silent environment.

At the same time, Luffy's laughter still echoed in the air, it was a reckless and extremely hearty laughter.

While Kuro's attention was drawn to Luffy, Nami took a step without hesitation and ran quickly to Chopper's side like an agile rabbit.

"Chopper, Chopper!"

Chopper lay quietly on the ground, his eyes closed, and he had lost consciousness.

However, when Nami got closer to it, she could feel its faint breathing, which made her feel a little relieved.

She hurriedly bent down and carefully held Chopper in her arms, fearing that she would aggravate his injuries.

Then, Nami hugged Chopper and ran towards Zoro hurriedly.

Her heartbeat quickened rapidly, her mind filled with worry about Chopper's condition.

"Zoro, come with me immediately." As soon as Nami arrived in front of Zoro, she asked impatiently, with obvious nervousness in her voice.

Zoro had a cold face, but still tried to reassure Nami: "I'm fine, take Chopper to see a doctor."

However, the wounds on his body mercilessly told of the fierce battle he had experienced. The blood stained his clothes red, forming a sharp contrast with his pale face.

Nami would naturally not be fooled by his appearance. She clearly saw that Zoro's injury was not optimistic.

She was about to ask him to go with her, but at this moment, Zoro suddenly interrupted her.

"Go! This is not a place you can stay." Zoro's voice was low and firm, revealing an irresistible force.

Before he finished speaking, Kuro in the distance suddenly burst out with a terrifying energy, like a detonated bomb, instantly sweeping across the entire space.

"Ah!" Nami screamed in horror, her body trembling involuntarily. She hugged Chopper tightly, as if only in this way could she find a sense of security.

Just when Nami felt desperate, Sanji appeared in front of her like a ghost.

Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled Nami behind him, using his body to block the terrifying energy.

"Hurry up and go! Chopper looks like he can't hold on any longer." Sanji's voice sounded a little anxious, but he still remained calm.

"Yes, we are here." Zoro also echoed, with a solemn look on his face.

After hearing what the two said, Nami's entanglement in her heart suddenly dissipated. She took a deep breath, said "Everyone must survive", then turned around resolutely and ran towards the residential area without looking back.

After the previous battle, Luffy and his companions bandaged their wounds in a hospital in the residential area.

Nami believed that as long as they could get there, they would be able to get treatment.

After Nami left, the surroundings became unusually quiet, with only Sanji's gentle breathing and Zoro's heavy panting being heard.

Sanji's right hand trembled slightly as he took out a cigarette box from his arms.

Then the cigarette box was opened, Sanji skillfully popped out a cigarette, and then gently placed it at the corner of his mouth.

His movements seemed a little slow, as if he was thinking about something.

Then he lit the cigarette with a lighter, and the fire illuminated his slightly pale face.

"Huh~" Sanji exhaled a long puff of smoke, which spread in the air, forming a light gray color.

As the smoke dissipated, his gaze fell on Kuro and Luffy who were confronting each other.

Neither Kuro nor Luffy spoke, they just stood there quietly, their eyes meeting each other, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Sanji watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly bitter smile, and said: "I didn't expect that I would end up dying with a green algae-head like you."

Zoro did not respond to Sanji's words. He just snorted coldly and said, "Humph, I don't want to die with you."

Sanji didn't get angry after hearing what Zoro said. He just took another deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly.

"Huh~" Another puff of smoke, this time thicker than before, covering Sanji's face.

Sanji's eyes became a little dark. He looked at Luffy and said softly: "This is not up to us."

There was a sense of helplessness and despair in his voice, as if he had accepted his impending fate.

In the center of the battlefield, Kuro's face was as gloomy as water, and lightning formed by domineering aura kept flashing around him, as if he was completely covered by a layer of blue electric light.

"I'm getting more and more cowardly as I grow older..." Kuro muttered to himself, with a hint of self-mockery and unwillingness in his voice, "I actually lost my mind just because of the awakening of a fruit."

However, before he finished speaking, Kuro's body suddenly began to undergo amazing changes. His body seemed to be controlled by a powerful force and began to gradually twist and deform.

First, a pair of ferocious dragon horns suddenly burst out from his head. The horns were as hard as black steel, and there were flashes of lightning on them. Then, Kuro's limbs became thicker and stronger, and his already strong muscles bulged like a hill, full of explosive power.

Not only that, Kuro's height also increased in an instant. His originally tall figure became even more mighty at this moment, like an unshakable mountain.

The surface of his body was quickly covered with a thick layer of scales, and then the armament color domineering intervened. The scales immediately turned dark black, with faint golden lines on them, flashing a heart-pounding light under the sun.

This series of changes happened in just a moment. When Kuro completed his transformation from human to beast, he exuded an unparalleled aura of oppression, as if he had transformed into a real dragon.

Seeing this scene, Luffy's laughter gradually stopped and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Because he could clearly feel that Kuro was more than twice as powerful as before.

He could feel the threat from deep within his soul.

"Huh..." Kuro let out a long breath, as if releasing all the strength in his body. Since the fruit awakened, he has never had the opportunity to truly use the power of humanization to fight the enemy. But today, he is finally going to show his true strength!

"Monkey D. Luffy." The corners of Kuro's mouth slightly raised, revealing a row of sharp teeth and a cold murderous intent.

"I'm going to kill you." His voice was low and cold, as if it came from hell.

Hearing this, Luffy's brows knitted tightly. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from Kuro, which made him feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

However, just as Luffy was thinking about how to deal with it, Kuro's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. It was as if he had never appeared, leaving only an empty ground.
