Chapter 47: 47. No words

"King of Pirates?.... Ha?... Hahahaha..." Kuro laughed out loud when he heard Luffy declare such a vast ambition. He was laughing at the naive kid that had appeared. He had been in the sea for such a long time. Even in East Blue he had seen some monsters that could take him down.

And then there was the navy!!

And the Grand Line was more terrifying. This kid was delusional. Seeing Kuro laughing, Luffy did a hand seal and used water bullets from his mouth to shoot at the face of Kuro. Luffy made sure not to shoot powerful bullets otherwise this person might die.

Kuro was shot at the face and he had to use his hand to stop the remaining bullets but it still stung his face and hands.

"Even a kid like you dare spit on me ..." Kuro was really angry now as he put his gloves in his hand. He used his gloves that were special and held long sharp blades at each finger. He was ready to teach this guy a lesson with his blades and kill him. He was just being spit upon!! Though he didn't understand how a person could have such strength in his spit, he didn't care.

After bringing out the blades he made a run towards Luffy who was just looking at Kuro with a smile. As Kuro took a few steps he felt something was holding him back in his legs and before he could stop himself from charging forward he felt a tug from both of his feet and then he fell right on his face.

The tug which he felt was a steel thread woven by Luffy long before he came here. Luffy deliberately allowed him to be on the run as he was making a trap for him. The trap was making almost threads of steel in the surrounding with the help of kunai and connecting them.

And Kuro fell right on this trap. Not only his feet got entangled, his neck too was now on the strings that were attached to various kunai that was lodged on the trees. If a person needed a visual reference it was something like Itachi did to catch an Anbu with just small tricks of kunai and threads.

Luffy's technique wasn't as capable as Itachi was; who was almost the master in that at such a young age, but he could easily hold someone like Kuro. Luffy didn't want anything to happen to Kaya and thus he used his brain to make a full proof plan. Luffy was always very meticulous when it came to fighting, and now more so as he had already lived a life.

Kuro looked in horror at how his feet and his neck were tied in threads. He tried using his hands to free himself but he couldn't. The more he struggled and pulled the threads the more he felt painful, mind you, these threads were made of steel and were extremely sharp.

"What is this?" Kuro asked slowly as he was trying to use his blades to cut the threads but couldn't.

"A gift from my brother. Now stay here while I bring Miss Kaya to her home." With that Luffy vanished as he was returning to the mansion while Kuro was just left on the ground unable to move due to pain. This was the greatest humiliation Kuro had ever faced in his life. Even the navy who had been searching for him couldn't do what this kid did.

While Luffy was on his way to the mansion to bring Kaya to safety, Zoro had finally been able to reach Jango and Zoro had used the spatial awareness multiple times and corrected his course and finally was able to reach Jango who was on his way to the mansion.

Jango was the first person to come out of the ship that flew the flag of the Black Cat Pirates.

"I have been searching for you for such a long time." Zoro said as he was sweating. He had been running around for quite a long time and finally was able to catch his breath.

"Who are you?"

"Your doom!!!" Zoro was having none of it and was ready to bring him down. Zoro bent his legs as he slowly held the hilt of the red sword in his hand and took in a mouthful of air.

'Thunder Breathing second form : Rice Spirit'

Jango was in a confused state when Zoro attacked him. He released five arched slashes at Jango which was accompanied by thunder, before Jango could take out his chakrams to defend himself he was blown away or rather electrocuted away by the 5 slashes that landed on his body. He flew back like a dead rock with a burnt smell coming out his body and slammed at a nearby tree.

This single move of Zoro made Jango unconscious and almost reached the door of death. Zoro was finally starting to use the Thunder Breathing. The ones Zenitsu never did, and it was much harder for Zoro. Zenitsu never learnt it and it was Zoro alone who was trying to unravel all the forms of thunder breathing as he had seen his master did in the simulation and not having the character was seriously a huge block for Zoro.

But Zoro was not ready to give up. He finally was able to perform the second form. It was tough but he did it. He was breathing heavily as he did that. Zoro looked at Jango for a few seconds before walking away. Now it was time to bring down the pirates that had made their new home on the beach.

As usual he again got lost in his way and had to use beast breathing to correct his course, but after one hour of running around he finally reached the place where the pirate ship was anchored. Zoro approached the ship openly. The crew members from the ship saw an unknown man approaching and asked the two brothers to take care of this new guy.
