Chapter 152
A few years later, the Straw Hat Pirates won the battle of Onigashima, and the air battle was won by Straw Hat Luffy defeating Kaido.
The Straw Hat Pirates at this time are far worse than those a few years later.
After all, after the end of the war on the top, the entire Straw Hat Pirates practiced hard for two years.
Zoro now can’t be compared with him a few years later. After all, Zoro had mastered two colors of Haki at that time, and even seemed to have the initial domineering color Haki. He studied for another two years in Hawkeye’s hands.
His strength has been greatly improved, and he can easily deal with the pacifists who couldn’t be defeated by the three main forces in the Sabaody Islands.
Although he lost the good sword, Xuezou, that he got in Rogue Town when he was on the judicial island.
But before the chapter of Wano Country, Zoro had already obtained another black sword, Qiushui, in addition to the black sword Ye in Hawkeye’s hands.
Well, it seems to have been returned later, after all, it is the national treasure of Wano Country.
But at this point, Kuruda has to complain. The black sword Shusui is Ryuma’s sword. His full name should be Shimotsuki Ryuma. He is Zoro’s ancestor, but he is his descendant. Even if it is a national treasure, what’s wrong with giving it to Zoro?
However, Zoro also obtained the demon sword Yanma in Wano Country. With the original Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu, a good swordsman with a good sword, Zoro’s strength was infinitely close to that of an admiral at that time, and he was truly a top-level vice-admiral.
However, such strength is still a certain gap compared to Hawkeye. After all, Hawkeye’s strength should not be worse than Shanks, who is one of the Four Emperors.
Although most One Piece fans believe that as long as Zoro is given a few more years, he may not be able to surpass Hawkeye.
However, in terms of swordsmanship, Kuina, who is much stronger than Zoro, would not have died young because of jealousy.
In this sea, the title of the future great swordsman must have a place for Kuina. Even compared to Zoro, Kuina is more likely to pull Hawkeye down from the position of the world’s number one swordsman.
However, let Kuruda and Ainz make it possible.
“Okay, leave it to me, Captain.” Ainz, who already understood a little, immediately walked in front of Kuruda.
He picked up his proud magic wand again and cast the magic of resurrection of the dead.
After obtaining this new ability, Ainz also studied it for a long time, and had tried it once, so it became easy to cast the magic of resurrection of the dead again.
Soon, the magic circle appeared above Ainz’s head again, and with a wave of his big bone hand, the magic circle flew to Kuina’s grave.
After contacting the burial ground of the dead, the magic circle also began to work.
Kuruda, who was watching all this from behind, also showed the same amazement as Azisa before, and analyzed the multiple energies in this magic circle.
But at the same time, such a huge energy naturally alarmed the real owner of Shimotsuki Village and an unexpected visitor.
The two people who were drinking and chatting in the swordsmanship gym were all stunned, and then looked in the direction of the huge energy.
Coincidentally, there was a window that allowed them to see the distant forest outside the window, and the huge energy coming from the forest.
One of the sturdy men with a hedgehog hairstyle, a dark green robe, and a special red tattoo on his face was still in a daze, and he sighed.
“What an amazing energy, who is it? And this energy is not the energy generated by the attack, and why would such a strong man suddenly come here?”
It is obvious that this man is a strong man who can say such words, and he is still the top in the world, otherwise he can’t make such an analysis.
At the same time, the man also knew that on this island where Shimokatsuki Village is located, there is no other strong man except the man next to him who looks extremely gentle. Obviously, the owner of this energy is an outside strong man who suddenly appeared here.
However, the man did not notice what he was thinking at this time, but the gentle man next to him changed his face, and even couldn’t help but pick up the ordinary-looking real sword next to him and rushed out.
And the direction he rushed to was naturally the specific direction where the energy was emitted.
There was no way. Seeing the direction where the energy was transmitted, this strong man who was also a father of a daughter could no longer sit still.
“Well, Koshiro, what’s wrong?” Although the man who spoke before was very confused, he still flew up while speaking. Yes, he flew, and he used the power of wind.
“Let’s talk about it when we get there.” But the gentle man just said this simply, and continued to move forward anxiously.
The man behind him could only helplesslyNai didn’t say anything for the time being and continued to fly.
But suddenly, they were stunned this time. When they were about to fly into the woods, a golden light column, full of vitality, suddenly rushed into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the two were a little dumbfounded and stopped for a while, but only for a while, and the two continued to move towards the woods.
However, they didn’t know that when the golden light column rose, it meant that under Ainz’s new magic ability, a person who had died in this world was once again given life and wisdom and reappeared in this world.
At this time, on the side of Kuruda and Ainz, just after the light column disappeared, a woman with fair skin, graceful figure, and long black hair appeared, who looked about 20 years old.
“Haha, that’s great. The age when she died, plus the years after her death, Kuina is now 20 years old. Haha, that’s good. After all, we can’t let the young Kuina face Zoro and the current Straw Hat Pirates.”
Kuruda couldn’t help laughing. Obviously, after the resurrection, Kuina was not young, but really not dead. It really seemed that she had lived through the past few years and was about 20 years old.
Kuruda was very happy. Just as he said, he didn’t want the young Kuina to face the Straw Hat Pirates and Zoro. How to say it? That scene would be very embarrassing.
At this point, it is not difficult to hear that Kurda’s plan for the Straw Hat Pirates must be delayed for a while.
Kurda did this, first of all, he said that he wanted to save face.
But there are actually two other points.
Through the previous investigation of the Ghost Corps, he already knew what the combat effectiveness of the Straw Hat Pirates was now.
Second, it was just an investigation by the Ghost Corps. He wanted to really see what kind of combat power the Straw Hat Pirates have now, so he would help Kuina improve her combat power in a while, at least to have a combat power that can be 40% to 60% of the current Straw Hat Pirates.
Many people will be curious and confused, why is it 40% to 60%, is this to make Kuina lose?
But the fact is indeed so, Kuruda did want Kuina to lose to the Straw Hat Pirates in the end, because this is the third and last point.
At that time, Kuruda wanted Kuina to wear a mask, disguise her identity, and deal with the Straw Hat Pirates as a bounty hunter.
He can also explain to Zoro as a bounty hunter that she is not dead, but was just concealed by her father.
It is considered to cover up the fact that the Fallen Pirates have the ability to resurrect the dead.
There is no way, because this ability is too powerful and incredible on the sea, and it can arouse the greed of many people.
Especially the World Government and the Five Elders, they will never allow such a force to fall into the hands of the Fallen Group. No, they will not allow such a force to be in the hands of any party, but in their own hands.
Kuruda is very clear about this ability, and it must be concealed. Except for their group, the less people know, the better.
So the Straw Hat Group is naturally still not good enough at the moment. They must make up a white lie about the appearance of Kuina.
But then, with Zoro’s familiarity with Kuina, he will be completely surprised in the battle and then reveal Kuina’s identity.
But this is also within Kuruda’s calculations. As long as Kuina loses at that time, with the relationship between Kuina and Zoro, her ideals and the strength she has shown, it is not impossible for her to join the Straw Hat Group.
Anyway, he has already let Kaya join, and now there is another Kuina. As he said before, he also wants to see the improvement of the Straw Hat Pirates’ strength. Whether it is to deal with the World Government in the future, he needs such a force, and it is also to solve some of the unsatisfactory feelings when watching One Piece at that time.
However, although Kuruda is still very satisfied now, Kuina appeared here at the age of 20.
But he is still very confused. Why is this? Why is Kuina, who was resurrected by Ainz, not the same age as at that time.
“System, what’s going on?”
Kuruda also hurriedly asked the system.
“This has nothing to do with me, but it actually has something to do with it.”
“Well, what do you mean?”
Hearing the system’s answer, Kurudatons asked with a puzzled look.
“First of all, this is not the reward I gave you. You helped Ainz choose the magic of resurrection of the dead. What was the appearance and image of the dead before death, and the most important age, what will it look like after resurrection?” The system said.
“Then what’s going on in front of you?” Kuruda said.
“Host, it was the world consciousness of this world that intervened, which allowed Ainz to be resurrected.Kuina appears in her current form. ”
The system answered again, but this answer really shocked Kuruda. He never thought that this matter would involve the world consciousness.
And the world consciousness is actually watching them. Kuruda must face this kind of thing seriously.
Because if this thing is not handled well, it will be more than a hundred times more terrible than the world government.
However, what the system said next immediately dispelled Kuruda’s concerns.
