One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

The size difference between Kilo and this burly CP0 is enormous.

One of them was a young man who was 1.85 meters tall, and the other was a burly giant who was four or five meters tall.

Right now, Kiro is holding the Dragon Slayer sword in his left hand, the sharp edge of the sword emitting an extremely fierce crimson aura, its power intimidating.

But his right hand, covered in Armament Haki, gripped the burly man's head tightly, as if he were holding a chick, and lifted him into the air.

No matter how hard the strong man pounded, Kilo's right hand remained unmoved, as firm as an iron clamp.

As Kilo gradually exerted force with his right hand, the burly man's expression changed drastically, realizing Kilo's purpose.

But it was too late. Even though the strong man unleashed his unprecedented power and struck Kilo's body with all his might, he could not stop Kilo in the slightest.

As Kiro's right hand gradually increased its pressure, like a hydraulic clamp, the strong man's skull began to crack under the strain.

His eyes rolled back, and the pressure on his hands involuntarily decreased slowly.

Click!

With a crisp cracking sound, the burly man went limp, powerless to resist any longer, and collapsed with a thud as Kiro let go.

His eyes bulged out, his face was covered in ferocious blood, and his vigorous life force vanished rapidly.

His hard skull was actually crushed by Kiro's sheer force!

[CP0 member eliminated, points +221]

The burly man's death plunged the arena into an eerie silence once again.

Upon seeing the burly CP0 corpse, everyone present stared wide-eyed, completely unable to believe what had happened.

Crocodile's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he looked at Kiro, who had just defeated two people and was as fierce as a demon. His tone was full of shock and lingering fear.

"Is this...is this his true strength?"

Recalling the battle between Kiro and himself just now, Crocodile felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, Kiro didn't intend to fight seriously when he was fighting him earlier.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds against a serious Kilo!

The strength that Kilo is now displaying has far exceeded his expectations.

On the sand dunes not far away, the sniper also put down his smoothbore rifle in a daze, his eyes showing fear, and he gradually began to have the idea of ​​retreating.

"Stu...Stusi...Geka and Gas...they're all dead!"

"Should we run away quickly!"

Stussy, his face filled with terror, walked to his side using moonwalking.

She seemed quite frightened, her face pale, and she gradually approached the sniper CP0.

Her voice trembled slightly, filled with fear as she spoke:

"He...he's too strong!"

"We should run away..."

Sniper CP0 was completely oblivious to what was happening, his eyes fixed on Kiro, when suddenly he felt a chill on his neck.

"Wh...what?!"

His pupils trembled, and he looked at Stusi beside him in disbelief.

Stussy's fox mask had been removed long ago.

Just a moment ago she was filled with fear and her voice was trembling, but now her face is cold.

On that usually elegant and beautiful face, a pair of ferocious fangs suddenly appeared, biting fiercely at his neck.

A pair of huge, menacing dark purple wings suddenly appeared behind Stussy, swaying slowly with her breathing.

As blood rapidly drained from his body, sniper CP0's vision gradually darkened, and his consciousness became hazy.

"Stu...Stusi..."

"You actually... dared to betray me..."

Before he could finish speaking, everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

Kiro had already flashed in front of the two, looking at the unconscious sniper CP0 on the ground and Stusi wiping the blood from his mouth, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Looking at the face beneath the fox mask, a hint of amazement flashed in Kiro's eyes.

Beneath her gorgeous golden wavy hair, a pair of bright and clear blue eyes shone through. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, like a doll's, with smooth oval lines and flawless, fair skin.

A trace of blood remained on her bright red lips, and her breathtaking figure was outlined with proud curves against the backdrop of her white uniform.

Gazing at this stunning beauty, Kiro suddenly raised an eyebrow, realizing who she was.

Isn't this the clone of Bakingum Stussy, who infiltrated CP0 and is also one of the emperors of the underworld?

Why should you help me?

Kiro frowned, somewhat puzzled by Stussy's last-minute defection.

Stussy elegantly wiped the blood from his lips and looked at Kiro with a half-smile.

"For some specific reason, I do not wish to be your enemy."

"Or rather, I originally wanted to help you."

She looked at Kiro, who was covered in blood, and her eyes filled with complex emotions.

……

Two weeks ago.

"Mr. Vegapunk, are you sure you want me to find a way to protect him?"

Stussy listened to the voice coming from the other end of the conversation bug, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, he's a student of my old friend, and he caused such a big commotion before, the World Government definitely won't sit idly by. They'll probably send your CP0 to deal with him."

Vegapunk's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Stusi, since you're a member of CP0, I'll have to trouble you to take action."

……

Looking at the unharmed Kilo, Stussy's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

With that kind of strength, is she really needed to come to the rescue?

Seemingly noticing the struggle in Stussy's eyes, Kiro thought for a moment and suddenly realized something.

"Did Vegapunk tell you to do this?"

He had felt something was off throughout the battle.

Even though he was facing four people, he never felt threatened by Stussy.

Even though the other party was clearly lurking around, Kiro, with his perfect Observation Haki, didn't sense any hostility from Stussy at all.

Upon hearing this, Stussy's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

"Wait, how did you know?"

She never mentioned her relationship with Vegapunk to anyone!

Her current identity is that of a CP0 member belonging to the World Government.

Logically speaking, no one should know her true identity!

Kiro chuckled softly, looking into Stussy's azure eyes, his tone calm, but his words sent a jolt through her.

"A clone of Vegapunk's MADS experiment, and also one of the emperors of the underworld, the 'Queen of the Pleasure District,' who has been an undercover agent for a long time in the Celestial Dragons' secret intelligence agency CP0."

"Am I right, Stusky?"

Stussy froze, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Kiro in shock.

"How...how did you know?"

If Kiro's mention of Vegapunk was merely a coincidence, then...

So now every word Kiro says precisely exposes her disguise.

"Why do you know so much about me? Are you also Vegapunk's...?"

Her voice was full of surprise, and her gaze toward Kilo was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Kilo waved his hand and shook his head, saying:

"No, I have nothing to do with Vegapunk. He probably only asked you to help me because of Dr. Clover."

"As for why I know your identity so well..."

Kilo hesitated for a moment, then didn't continue.

You can't exactly say you learned it from watching anime, can you?
