Chapter 1492 The first shot is fired

All I heard was a crisp sound of "crack~pop!", as if something hard was breaking. Then, a dazzling ball of domineering energy suddenly erupted in the air, exploding in the air like fireworks, emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

After briefly blooming in the air, this ball of energy did not dissipate quickly like an ordinary explosion, but slowly shrank, as if being pulled by an invisible force. As it shrank, its light gradually dimmed, but the powerful energy did not weaken, but seemed to be compressed to the extreme.

Finally, the ball of energy shrank to a tiny point, and then flew straight towards Kuro at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it penetrated Kuro's body like a meteor and disappeared without a trace.

Kuro's body trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, trying to control his breathing, as if he was feeling the powerful energy that had just entered his body. Not far away from him, Aokiji was struggling in pain, his eyes glaring at Kuro, his eyes full of resentment and resentment.

However, no matter how Aokiji struggled, he could not change his current situation. Suddenly, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, which shot out like an arrow and splashed on the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.

As the blood spurted out, Aokiji's breath dissipated at an alarming speed. His body became weaker and weaker, and his originally tense muscles gradually relaxed, as if he had lost all his strength.

Kuro did not taunt as others expected. He just stood there quietly, staring at the enemy in front of him with an indescribable look.

This silence made the atmosphere around them become somewhat solemn, as if time had frozen at this moment. However, an inexplicable emotion surged in Kuro's heart, and he himself could not explain why.

Ever since defeating Im, this feeling has come to him from time to time, but never as strong as it is now. He couldn't help but start to wonder, does this victory really mean that everything is over? Or is it just a new beginning?

"Captain, what are you standing there for?" Ryan's shout suddenly broke Kuro's thoughts.

Kuro came back to his senses and saw Ryan looking at him with a puzzled look. He quickly shook his head and said softly, "It's okay."

However, when his eyes fell on Aokiji on the ground again, a faint sadness surged in his heart. Aokiji's body gradually lost its vitality and finally died completely.

Enel's ears moved slightly, as if he had sensed something, and he said, "He is dead."

This news was like a stone on a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. When everyone heard the news, they all showed excitement on their faces, and they began to cheer and shout Kuro's name.

However, Kuro did not respond to all this. He just looked at Aokiji's body silently, and his confusion and bewilderment became more and more serious.

After a moment's silence, Kuro slowly took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms.

The entire body of this Den Den Mushi is a deep blue, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, as if it were carved from the finest sapphire.

Kuro placed the Den Den Mushi in the palm of his hand. After a while, he finally reached out and pressed the button of the Den Den Mushi.

The Den Den Mushi immediately gave off a slight buzzing sound and then began to ring.

The ringtone was clear and melodious, echoing in the empty battlefield.

Kuro waited quietly. After the Den Den Mushi rang a few times, it was finally connected. A deep and powerful voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Captain."

"You won, let's do it." Kuro's voice was calm and decisive, without any hesitation.

"Awesome!" There was an exclamation from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, obviously very excited about Kuro's victory.

"Captain, I knew the navy was not worthy of standing in our way." Mori's voice was full of confidence and pride.

The corners of Kuro's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Stop talking nonsense and just act according to the plan we made before." Kuro's tone was still serious. He didn't want Mori to forget the importance of the mission because of his momentary excitement.

"The Red Earl should have given you the right to control that army," Kuro continued to ask.

"Yes. Please wait for Morgans to report to you on the next matter." Mori replied.

After saying this, he seemed a little impatient to hang up the Den Den Mushi and go on to carry out the next task.

Seeing this, Kuro didn't say anything more, but just said lightly: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Then, he hung up the Den Den Mushi without hesitation.

Morrie's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, his mouth stretched wide as if he was about to laugh, and suddenly, as if propelled by a powerful force, he couldn't help but sing, and the song echoed in the room, full of joy and excitement.

In the other corner of the room, Katakuri seemed unusually calm. His eyes were like deep lake water, staring at Mori calmly, seemingly unconcerned by Mori's excitement.

Mori noticed Katakuri's reaction, he stopped singing, grinned to reveal a row of white teeth, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and said to Katakuri: "The captain won!"

Katakuri replied expressionlessly, "I heard you."

Mori was somewhat dissatisfied with his indifference. He came forward and said loudly, "Why aren't you excited at all?"

Katakuri's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but that smile revealed a hint of coldness, he said: "I never thought we would lose."

Katakuri's cold look makes many women crazy, but Mori doesn't care about it. He looks at Katakuri and suddenly says, "Will you die if you don't pretend?!"

After saying that, Mori raised his hands, raised his middle finger, and "greeted" Katakuri in a less polite way.

Katakuri completely ignored his existence, as if he was just an insignificant person.

"Now that the battle over there is over, should we start taking action?" His voice was cold and without any emotion.

"You're right. Now that this matter has been resolved, we naturally can't just sit there and wait for it to happen," Mori replied.

"I just specifically asked the captain for instructions, and the captain ordered us to act," he added, as if wanting to emphasize that his actions were authorized.

"Then what are you still dawdling about?" Katakuri said impatiently. He stood up suddenly and walked towards the door without hesitation.

"Hey, wait for me!" Seeing this, Mori shouted hurriedly, then hurriedly chased after him.

The two walked out of the room one after the other and came outside.

Outside the door was an endless sea of clouds, rolling like a turbulent ocean.

The Pluto was like a small boat, floating quietly above the sea of clouds, being carried slowly forward by the Cloud Island.

"Tell me, how powerful is Pluto?" Katakuri asked casually while standing at the bow and staring down.

"Just try it and you'll know," Morrie replied.

Katakuri heard this and looked down.

Not far below, I saw the building of the new naval headquarters towering into the clouds, and the naval flag on the roof fluttering in the wind.

The naval soldiers who remained at the headquarters were guarding the entrance of the new naval headquarters with full concentration, looking around vigilantly.

Seeing this scene, a light like a cold star flashed in the depths of Katakuri's eyes.
