Chapter 16

The Black Cat Pirates looked really scared when they saw Kuro. Jango looks like he's about to pee his pants.

"Captain K-Kuro, these kids are monsters!" Jango stammered making Kuro look at everyone there with annoyed expressions.

As her eyes fell on the smiling Luffy, all she could do was stare at him with an expression of pure hatred before she reached into the bag she was carrying and took out a pair of furry gloves with long katana blades at the tips of each of her fingers. Luffy saw this and looked at Zoro and spoke.

"Finish your fight Zoro and get off this slope" he said. Kuro looked at Jango and spoke in a deadly tone.

"You have five minutes to clean up this mess Jango" he said as he started to put on the gloves "otherwise I'll kill you" Luffy descended the slope to help Nami fight Jango quickly, while leaving Zoro to finish off Sham.

When Luffy reaches the bottom of the cliff Jango doesn't know who to fear more, Kuro or the man who just slapped one of his crew members penetrates the entire ship. As Luffy got closer, Jango immediately tried to hypnotize him, but before he could react, Luffy was behind him with his forefinger stuck to the back of his neck.

Before he could do anything, he felt an electric shock at the base of his neck causing him to pass out. Luffy then looked at Nami and spoke.

"Why don't you immediately clean up their treasure Nami" he said causing Nami to grin widely before rushing to the ship with Usopp to steal their treasure.

Luffy then looked up the slope and saw Zoro had finished defeating his opponent and was walking towards Luffy. Kuro looked really annoyed, he couldn't imagine how a bunch of kids had caused all his plans to be ruined this big.

Three years of planning went down the drain thanks to these kids. He looked at Luffy and his crew with a death look in his eyes before he headed off towards them. He was moving too fast for Zoro to track but Luffy could see his every move.

Luffy then went after Kuro at a much faster speed than him and intercepted him in the middle of the slope with his fist sinking into Kuro's stomach, which caused Kuro to fall to all fours from suffocation.

"Why?" Kuro asked from his position on the ground making Luffy look at him with raised eyebrows "Why are you interfering?" he asked. Luffy chuckled and spoke in a deadly tone.

"I'm bored. So, I'll pass the time by killing you" he said making Kuro even more annoyed. Kuro then attacked and slashed Luffy's head but was surprised when Luffy tried to dodge.

His eyes widened even more as his cat claws sliced ​​Luffy's head clean, but instead of blood all he saw were sparks of electric blue light from Luffy's neck and his head separated.

Then suddenly Luffy's separated head turned into lightning and rejoined Luffy's body. Usopp, Zoro, Nami and Kuro gaped at what they had just seen. Luffy just looked at Kuro with a deadpan expression on his face before he spoke once more in a bored tone "Is that all?" he asked.

"W-who are you?" asked a confused Kuro. Luffy chuckled before answering.

"Demon," said Luffy before punching Kuro in the face causing him to bounce 10 meters before finally stopping. After about five minutes, Kuro shakily stood up and looked at Luffy before she spoke.

"My plan... My plan... My plan must not fail!" he shouted at Luffy causing everyone there to look at him as if he was crazy.

"I think I hit him too hard" Luffy joked, making Kuro even angrier.

"I'm going to kill you Straw Hats! You, and your asshole friends! Then I'm going to make Kaya sign a will so that all of her wealth goes to me before I kill Him!" Kuro shouted not realizing there was a teary eyed Kaya behind him. Luffy chuckled before speaking.

"Before you do all that, I have a question for you" Luffy said confusing Kuro and everyone there. "Have you ever been kicked with lightning speed?" Luffy asked, making Kuro confused, then suddenly his eyes widened when he saw Luffy appear and crouch in front of him.

Luffy then kicked him from a crouched position just under his chin, sending him flying 50 meters into the air. Luffy then turned his body into lightning and teleported to Kuro's left side with his left leg, electroplated from the knee down.

Luffy then twisted his body to the right and delivered a lightning speed kick to Kuro's midsection, sending him flying to the ground at lightning speed causing Kuro's body to tumble faster than the speed of sound before hitting the ground.

As Kuro's body hit the ground, the impact created a 5 meter wide crater with his mangled body lying in the middle. When Luffy landed back on the ground he put his hands in his pockets and went to check the crater and winced slightly when he saw Kuro.

Kuro has four ribs sticking out of his chest, his neck is clearly broken, and his right leg is facing the wrong way. One thing is clear, the great Captain Kuro is dead.

"He did all that with just one kick?" came the terrified voice of one of the Black Cat Pirates that got Luffy's attention. Luffy turned to see some of the Black Cat Pirates starting to wake up making him realize that Zoro didn't kill them.

"I strongly suggest that you take the strange man with the ring and get off this island before I slaughter you all!" Luffy's words sent them all running to retrieve their comrades who were still unconscious before jumping back into their ship and sailing away in terror.

Luffy then walked up to Kaya and spoke to her smiling "Miss Kaya, how about I treat you to breakfast?" Luffy asked making Kaya avert her eyes from Kuro's corpse "You have had a bad start to your day. So what do you think?" Kaya looked at Luffy with teary eyes and nodded before she spoke.

"But, what about Klaha... I mean Kuro's body?" Kaya asked. Luffy smiled before he looked up at the sky making Kaya and his crew look up too. They all saw a small thundercloud start to descend from the sky onto Kuro's body and engulf the corpse before returning to the sky.

"What body?" Luffy asked making Kaya smile. He then turned to his crew and spoke. "Hey, are you three going to stand there all day, I'm already hungry?!" he asked rhetorically making them run towards him and Kaya before they all walked back to the village.

* Timeskip: 5 days later *

Luffy and his crew are currently standing on the south coast of the Island looking at their ship. The Going Merry, the cannons have been upgraded, the sheep's head statue has been repainted and a lot of the wood on the ship has been replaced making it a bit stronger than before.

Luffy and his crew were saying goodbye to Kaya and Merry when they heard someone screaming behind them. They all looked up the hill to see Usopp carrying a large bag and then tumbling down the hill.

"Someone please stop me!" he is screaming. Luffy and Zoro walked forward and stuck out a foot to plant it right in Usopp's face effectively stopping him. "Thank you," said Usopp as he fell to the ground.

"Don't worry," replied Luffy and Zoro. Usopp then cleaned himself up and told Kaya that he would go to sea like his father to become a brave warrior. Luffy chuckled as he and Zoro got on the ship. As Luffy climbed up he leaned over the railing and spoke to Usopp.

"So Usopp, will you be joining my crew?" he asked. Usopp looked at him and put his finger to his chin and thought for a moment before he answered.

"I'd be happy to join your crew as Captain!" he declared proudly making Kaya giggle at his antics.

"Try again," said Luffy in a flat voice.

"As your vice-captain then!" he announced once more.

"But that's Zoro, but I need a sniper," said Luffy. Usopp smiled before he shouted to the sky.

"Yosh! I'll be the sniper leader!" Usopp shouted making everyone sweat.

"Hurry up and get on," said Luffy. Usopp boarded the ship and unloaded his belongings. Luffy then summons the cloud they used to travel with and which also has all of their stuff.

When the thundercloud arrives, Luffy asks Zoro and Usopp to store the food and liquor while Luffy gives Nami his possessions. Luffy then made the cloud shrink until it disappeared, and then a medium sized chest fell onto the ship, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's in that chest Luffy?" she asked. Luffy walked over to the crate, picking it up before he answered it.

"There's nothing for you to worry about," said a very serious Luffy before he led him to the captain's quarters and locked the door. Zoro and Usopp shrugged they didn't really care about what was inside. But Nami, looked at the closed door with a serious expression.

'Whatever is in that chest must be very valuable. I will have it. thought Nami.
