One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

"So, you're now the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army?"

Crocodile swallowed the "poison" in one gulp and struggled to his feet.

Although his injuries were severe, they were not enough to render him unable to move.

Kilo nodded, then added:

"So, you're now considered an outsider to the Revolutionary Army, but don't make it public."

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your Baroque Works, and I spared the lives of your Mr. 1 and Miss. Doublefinger."

"However, you must abide by the rules of the revolutionary army and not kill innocent people or overthrow the country."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile pondered for a moment before asking:

"So, you came to St. Ting Island just to get me to join the revolutionary army?"

However, he did not hear a response from Kilo.

Crocodile looked up in surprise, only to see Kiro stop in his tracks, the dragon-slaying sword now firmly in his hand.

Kiro did not answer Crocodile's question, but instead looked up into the distance, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile appeared on his face.

Kilo's perfect Observation Haki clearly detected the four figures gradually approaching.

He had seen their uniforms before—distinctive, peculiar masks and white suits—an attire that could only belong to…

CP0!

"I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus!"

"I'll gladly accept these points offered to me!"

Kiro's lips curled up, and with a flash of his feet, he appeared in front of the four people, his aura gradually rising.

Seemingly realizing their whereabouts had been exposed, the four CP0 members stopped hiding and suddenly appeared, stepping on the "Shave" sword.

They wore identical white uniforms and masks of varying styles, revealing only four pairs of eyes.

Judging from their appearance, one can vaguely tell that there are three men and one woman in total.

"Go all out and finish this quickly!"

They worked together seamlessly, each clearly defining their roles and setting up their formation in an instant.

One of the men, a burly and extremely tall man, spoke in a deep voice, his fists clenched, as he lunged at Kilo.

Another CP0 member, with a well-proportioned build and a sharp longsword in his right hand, stomped his foot in an instant, charging towards Kiro along with the burly man.

Meanwhile, another person, carrying an antique-looking smoothbore musket, quickly leaped backward and landed on a high sand dune.

As the unassuming gun was aimed at Kilo's forehead, Kilo, with his keen senses, actually felt a strong sense of threat.

The only woman among the four CP0 members used Moonwalk to move around Kiro, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

She had short, curly blonde hair and a slender figure. The long-haired fox-shaped mask she wore looked somewhat familiar to Kiro, but he couldn't quite place it.

Seeing the four CP0 members surround him, Kiro remained calm and glanced at Crocodile, whose expression was grave.

"Hey, didn't you want to see my full power?"

"Then let me show you!"

call out!

The Dragon Slayer Void Slash cut a jet-black bullet in half, and the powerful wind pressure scattered the surrounding yellow sand.

Under the cover of a sniper, two close-combat CP0 fighters had already reached Kiro.

The burly man, his hands covered in thick Armament Haki, stepped on the "Shave" sword and arrived at Kilo's side almost instantly, throwing out his right fist.

Another CP0 member wielding a knife moved like a ghost, appearing behind Kiro in an instant, and his long sword slashed down with immense force.

The two attacked fiercely and subtly coordinated with each other, effectively locking down all of Kiro's possible escape routes.

The sniper's second bullet arrived in an instant, appearing right in front of Kiro's forehead. Kiro's Observation Haki immediately transmitted a sharp, dangerous sensation.

Kiro was somewhat surprised by this offensive.

As expected of CP0, hailed as the strongest intelligence organization, their seamless teamwork would likely wipe out any pirate with a bounty below one billion in an instant.

"Unfortunately, I also wanted to finish this quickly!"

boom!

The Dragon-Slaying Sword, though arriving late, struck first, its gleaming blade flashing as it sliced ​​through the bullet, shattering it into a cloud of smoke. Its momentum undiminished, it continued its attack towards the swordsman behind it.

The moment the two longswords clashed, the CP0 member's expression changed drastically as he felt an irresistible, immense force emanating from his wrist.

However, just as he mustered all his strength to fight back, the Dragon Slayer suddenly withdrew, causing him to lose his balance instantly, and the long sword in his hand inevitably tilted for a moment.

"not good!"

"Is he insane?"

The CP0 member wielding the longsword was greatly alarmed, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

Even though his companion's iron fist was about to land on Kiro, Kiro went berserk, ignoring the strong man's attack and seemingly only wanting to kill himself!

Swordsman CP0 hurriedly raised his longsword, but the next moment, a crimson sword shadow with a shimmering white light suddenly pierced through the air.

boom!

The longsword in the CP0's hand shattered into pieces in less than half a second under the sharpness of the Dragon Slayer, the blade completely disintegrating.

The dragon-slaying blade swiftly slashed across his neck, its sharp and scorching edge showing no sign of holding back.

"No!" CP0, wielding his sword, stared in disbelief at the approaching Dragon Slayer, his face filled with terror.

The burly man had reached Kiro's side and was unleashing his powerful punches on Kiro, intending to save his companion.

Boom! Boom!

Each powerful punch carried an astonishing force, demonstrating its immense power.

What was truly disheartening was that no matter how hard he struck, Kiro remained unresponsive, his attention completely undiminished.

Even though the sniper fired desperately to stop Kiro, all the bullets covered in Armament Haki missed their mark.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the Dragon Slayer, accompanied by a piercing whistle, left a crimson afterimage in the air.

Swish!

Blood splattered as the Dragon Slayer sliced ​​open the swordsman CP0's neck with almost no resistance.

A head flew high into the air, disbelief still lingering on its terrified face.

Upon seeing this, everyone present immediately went blank.

Spandam, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, gaped wide open, completely unable to believe what had happened.

That's a CP0 member who's hailed as the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield, possessing unparalleled strength!

He was killed on the spot after only a few exchanges with Kilo, without even a chance to fight back?!

Crocodile, who was watching the battle while clutching his wound, was also stunned, his mind in turmoil.

As a well-informed Shichibukai, he naturally understood the value of being a CP0 member.

Even if you take any one of them out on your own, they would be absolutely the strongest on the sea. If they cooperate, they could even work together to take down a great pirate of the Seven Warlords level!

Crocodile wasn't even confident he could contend with the four CP0 members who had worked together so well.

Faced with that siege, Kiro actually killed one of the CP0 members with lightning speed in just a few seconds?!

[CP0 member eliminated, points +217]

Kilo took a deep breath, dodged a bullet that grazed past him, and suddenly thrust out his left hand, which was wrapped in thick Armament Hide.

Swish!

A terrifying whooshing sound echoed through the air, and in the blink of an eye, the left hand reached the burly man, clamping his fist like an iron clamp.

Upon seeing this, the burly CP0 man's pupils constricted, completely unaware of Kiro's actions.

His muscles were tense, veins bulging, as he tried to escape Kiro's grasp.

No matter how hard he tried, the hand that was gripping him showed no sign of wavering and remained completely unaffected.

His eyes gradually filled with fear and despair.

He had only ever witnessed such terrifying, vast, and immense power in large sea kings.

Kilo suddenly reached out with his other hand and grabbed the other man's head, lifting him into the air as if he were a chick with all his might.

He smirked, his cold gaze sweeping over the burly man, and his right hand gradually exerted force.

"Weren't you having a lot of fun just now? Why did you stop?"
