Red looked sadly at Constance on the ground, closed his eyes and gave up resisting.

“I won’t give in. I’m just cut off by a powerful evil, but ideals will never give in.”

She raised her head and opened her eyes, which were filled with determination. “The ideal of making people happy is absolutely not wrong!”

Whoosh!

“Is it?”

The sound of the wind mixed with Kuro’s voice reached her ears. Kuro appeared in front of her and raised his black blade. His cold eyes made Red close her eyes again and wait for the black blade to land.

Snap.

Soon, she felt light on her head and heard Kuro’s voice.

“Lida, I’ll leave her to you. Watch her.”

‘No pain?’

Red opened her eyes and saw that the earpiece on her head had split into two pieces and fell to the ground.

Didn’t kill her …

‘Why?’

Red looked up at the man who had put away his sword and turned around. There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. She opened her mouth and finally asked, “Why didn’t you kill me?”

Kuro did not stop walking. He took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it. He said, “First of all, you are not a pirate. Second of all, you did not cause any casualties. It’s just that I don’t like you. There are too many people and things in the world that I don’t like. If I want to kill them one by one, how long will it take?”

“After all…”

He paused and said lightly, “I am not qualified to make people give up the ideal of chasing him.”

With that, he walked straight to the Sky Watch Pavilion. Leda looked at his back and was a little distressed. “Why are you in a bad mood again?”

“Hey… come with me, I’ll find a place for you to watch you.”

Leda walked to the red heels and said, “I don’t like you much, but I won’t kill you if Kuro doesn’t kill you.”

The way to deal with this woman is too simple. She doesn’t have much strength, let Marine take a Seastone chain and lock her up in the Celestial Guardian Pavilion.

Of course, Leda also asked for some information. This woman was the kind of person who would say anything. Soon, she ran to the fifth floor excitedly and pulled open the sliding door of the hall where Kuro was.

“Kuro Kuro, do you know what that red ability is?!”

At this moment, Kuro was leaning against the balcony and sitting on a futon. One of his legs was bent and one of his legs was put down. One hand was on his knee and the other hand was hanging down. He was still holding a white wine porcelain bottle in his hand and looking sideways at the gradually falling sun.

The sunlight shone on his side profile and body, seemingly emitting a faint glow.

But somehow… sad?

“Kuro?” Leda asked worriedly. “Are you okay?”

Kuro heard the sound and turned to look at her. “Oh, Leda… It’s nothing, I just thought of the past.”

Leda obediently walked over and sat next to Kuro. She tilted her head and asked, “Before?”

“Well…”

Kuro raised the bottle and took a small sip before saying, “Sometimes, I can’t understand it. Ideals are indeed holy and must be adapted to the environment. In short, the sea has its own feelings. Not all ideals are suitable to continue to persist.”

“But…”

He looked at the setting sun again and sighed. “Whether it’s this woman or that old man, or those people I met in the past, their ideals can always stand firm, even if it doesn’t conform to the times, even if it’s wrong.”

“Maybe…”

He held out his hand and looked at his palm. “This is why I don’t have Haoshoku.”

Although that woman is easy to deal with, sometimes the sea is not determined by force.

People have feelings. People have hearts.

They will think, they will struggle, they will think deeply about the reason behind it.

It was not that Kuro thought his current ideals were wrong. He just reached a critical point because of that woman.

“I thought I had seen a lot in the sea and got used to it. In the end, I found that I was still a little emotional…”

He sighed and took another sip of wine.

Now, it was just a feeling.

Feeling the one he had given up on…

At the beginning of youth.

“Roger, Kaido, Big Mom, even that bastard Tiki, and this woman… they all want to change the world.”

Kuro said, “It’s actually very difficult to change the world… But they just want to change the world and have never changed it. Don’t they know that it’s difficult? Maybe they do. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stayed in the New World for so many years, but why didn’t they give up…”

He looked at Leda and said, “A long time ago, I gave up. Because the sea is too big, the islands are not connected, there is a lack of information transmission, the bloodline is deep-rooted, and there are strong people who can easily destroy the world. I have to admit that no matter what is right or wrong, martial strength can kill some thoughts. The people have no resistance. Even if they awaken, they can’t protect their awakening.”

“They’re not doing bad either. The sea is very big and the supplies are very rich. They can’t starve to death, and they haven’t reached the point where they will rebel. Although there is such a situation, it is too little compared to the sea.”

“I found a lot of drawbacks, so I gave up and just live my life.”

Kuro took a sip of wine and said, “There is a saying in my hometown, ‘If you reach the top, you will help the world. If you are poor, you will only care about yourself. It’s not about wealth, but a person’s thoughts and strength. I can’t ‘reach’ and I can’t help the world. I can only live comfortably for the rest of my life…”

“I don’t understand.”

Leda tilted her head. “Kuro, you are very good. You are kind and righteous. Although you have a bad mouth, you are a good person.”

Kuro’s lips twitched. “Don’t give me a Good Person Card! Really… Forget it, it’s just a complaint. It’s not interesting. By the way, what ability did you say that woman had?”

“Yes! She is a Devil Fruit user. She said that she eats ‘fruit’ which can soothe people’s hearts and make them calm, but it seems to have the ability to stir up people’s mood. She said that the ability of a woman of the Moon Clan can create beautiful dreams through singing, and combined, it becomes like that,” Leda said.

“He really knows how to play…”

Kuro raised his eyebrows. “A singer? Putting aside her identity as a member of the Moon Clan, the higher-ups probably want her because she has this ability. Tenryubito… just like these strange things.”

The current Empress Boa Hancock is such a product.

That overbearing ability of men, women, old, and young can kill both humans and non-humans and petrify them. In the beginning, it was tenryubito who fed Hancock to them.

Those people… don’t care about anything.

Kuro put down the porcelain bottle and picked up the cigar that was still lit. He bit it in his mouth and turned to look at the setting sun.

“How to solve it…”
