No sooner had Renault finished speaking than the butler, Krabatel, angrily retorted, "There are no bad people here, and you don't look like a doctor."
"Merry, quickly see the guests out."
Kaya gently scolded, "Krabatel, you're a guest, don't be so rude."
"Miss, them..."
Kro snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing more, though he felt increasingly uneasy.
Renault glanced sideways at the somewhat agitated Kro and sneered inwardly.
If he weren't worried that Kaya might hold a grudge, he would have killed this bastard without saying a word.
"Sir, please come inside to discuss what you need to do," Kaya invited Renault and the other two inside.
In the hall of the mansion, Mei poured a cup of tea for each of the three, including Renault.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Kaya got straight to the point: "Sir, can you really cure my illness?!"
Chapter 9: Kro's Identity is Exposed! (Requesting Data)
Kaya spoke with fervent hope.
Her chronic illness had always been a source of anxiety for her.
Because of her illness, she couldn't even leave her home.
Not to mention seeing the world outside the village.
If Renault really had a way to cure her illness, even if there was only a sliver of hope, she would be willing to try.
In response to Kaya's question, Renault smiled and said, "Miss Kaya, curing your illness is the second thing I came here for."
"I think it's more important to deal with the bad people around you first."
Let's not even talk about the fact that Koya's illness is not terminal.
Even if it is truly an incurable disease, eating the healing fruit can lead to a quick recovery.
Not a problem at all.
"A bad guy?!" Ke Ya's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.
She was surrounded by good people; there were no bad people around her.
"Mr. Renault, are you mistaken? They..."
“I’m not mistaken, am I?! Mr. Krabatel.”
Before Kaya could finish speaking, Renault looked at the butler beside her.
Kro was directly targeted by Renault, who started with zero frames. Even though he was prepared, his pupils still contracted subconsciously.
Although he managed to cover it up perfectly the next second, Renault still managed to catch it keenly.
Krabatel adjusted his round glasses with his palm facing upwards, and said calmly, "Sir, I don't know what you mean."
“Mr. Renault, you must have misunderstood. Krabatel is my butler, and he has been working for my family for three years.” Koya waved her hands repeatedly, taking the initiative to defend Kro.
The meaning is simple: if he were truly a bad person, he would have had countless opportunities to act over three years, so why would he wait until now?
“Miss Kaya, you’re still too naive.” Reno shook his head and continued, “Kro, captain of the Black Cat Pirates, nicknamed Hundred Plans, with a bounty of 1600 million Berries.”
"Three years ago, he was executed by the Navy's Monca. This achievement also allowed Monca to be promoted to Navy Captain."
At this point, Reno paused, looking at the expressionless Kro with a half-smile.
"But in reality, all of this was just part of Kro's plan. He had his men hypnotize Monka, making Monka believe that he had executed Kro."
"But the real Kro has already changed his appearance and come to Xirob Village, where he has settled down under a new identity."
"Is that so?! Mr. Krabatel?!"
"No, I should call you Mr. Chloe."
Papapa
As soon as Renault finished speaking, applause erupted.
A playful smile curved Chloe's lips as she praised, "Mr. Renault, your story is indeed fascinating, but do you have any evidence?!"
"I don't know what your true intentions are in approaching Miss Kaya, yet you resort to such despicable means to slander me."
"But I believe that Miss Koya will definitely not believe your side of the story."
Kro responded firmly and forcefully.
"This guy"
Nami and Makino both frowned at the same time.
As expected, upon hearing Kro's words, Kaya spoke with a slightly displeased tone: "Mr. Renault, if you don't...."
“Of course I have evidence,” Renault interrupted Kaya with a smile.
“Identity and personality can indeed be hidden, but some instincts etched into one's bones can never be changed.” Renault paused, looking at the black gloves on Kroo's hands, and slowly said:
"According to the intelligence recorded by the Navy, the weapon used by the pirate Kuro, the Espada, is hidden in his cat paw gloves."
“Miss Koya, if you have any doubts about this, you can send someone to investigate.”
Upon hearing this, Kro, who had been calm and composed just moments before, finally showed a subtle change in expression.
"If I'm not mistaken, what's inside your gloves is your usual weapon, the Ten Blades, right, Mr. Kro?!"
"Miss Koya, you've worked with this butler for three years, and you probably haven't even seen him take off those gloves once, have you?!"
Kro remained silent; this was evidence he could not refute.
"Fine, you've been hiding your identity and staying by someone's side for three years. What exactly is your purpose?!"
Nami, who had long been fed up with it, questioned loudly.
Makino looked at Kro with a wary expression, and subconsciously moved closer to Renault.
Mr. Krabatel
Kaya stared at him blankly with her bright, large eyes.
After three years of care, Kaya had come to trust Chloe completely.
But when Renault uttered those reasonable and well-founded words, and when Kro stopped arguing, Kaya finally began to waver.
“Mr. Krabatel, could you take off your gloves so I can see them?!” Kaya’s voice trembled.
Once the gloves are removed, it will be immediately clear whether they are real or fake.
"Hahahaha"
Just then, Kro suddenly burst into laughter.
"Three years, a full three years..."
Kroo let out a long sigh, his face gradually contorting into a grimace. "Do you know how I've spent these past three years?!"
"So close, so close to success!!!"
"Once I get Kaya's fortune, I will no longer be a pirate and can live in the sunlight."
"Why, why did you have to ruin my plans?!"
As he spoke, Kro's aura suddenly changed.
Like a wild beast, extremely dangerous.
"You...you're really Chloe?!"
Kro's menacing appearance terrified Kaya, turning her face deathly pale and causing her to stagger.
With lightning speed, Renault flashed to Kaya's side and gently supported her.
Kaya stared in horror at Kuro, who was completely different from before, a chill running down her spine. She had actually spent three years living with pirates?!
"Hehehe, Miss Kaya, do you see? Just like your illness, life is always full of surprises."
Having his identity exposed, Clooney finally stopped pretending, and his voice became deep.
Chapter 10: Kro, turned into a human pig, heals Kaya! (Requesting data)
After removing his mask, Chloe shrugged, his voice low:
"Miss Koya, life is always full of surprises. The difference is that your illness is incurable, but I can save you."
Kaya stared blankly at Kro, lost in thought for a moment.
Kaya could no longer sense the familiar gentlemanly and aristocratic butler demeanor in him; instead, she felt fierce and ruthless.
Thinking back on the three years they had spent together, Ke Ya felt a chill run down her spine.
“My plan, which I’ve been working on for years, has been ruined by a brat. But…” Kro paused, a few black lines appearing on his forehead, “as long as you are eliminated, my plan can still succeed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several snow-white blades suddenly sprang out from the ten fingers of Kro's glove.
Weapon: Ten Blades!
"Nami, Makino, take good care of Kaya." Reno handed the trembling Kaya to the two women.
"Reno, don't let this despicable bastard get away with this!!" Nami clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Kro.
If she weren't outmatched, she would have rushed up and taken him down right now.
Makino carefully helped Kaya like a kind older sister next door, while at the same time developing a physical aversion to Chloe.
"Captain, teach him a lesson!"
The fact that the gentle Makino could utter such words speaks volumes about the anger she felt.
The same applies to Renault.
He had planned to expose Kro's plot and then easily eliminate the guy.
Unexpectedly, Kro dared to rub salt into Kaya's wounds by bringing up her illness.
Just looking for death.
"Heh, lecturing me?!"
"My Espada haven't seen blood in three years. Today, I'll use you all as a sacrifice for my blade."
"Silent Step!!"
Without a sound, Kro's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The blade flashed, and a crisp cracking sound echoed in the hall.
To Kro's disbelief, his prized Ten Blades snapped in two.
“Useless.” Renault lowered his dark arm and spoke expressionlessly.
Before Klo could react, Renault grabbed his shoulder.
Locate your coordinates and teleport over ultra-long distances!
The next moment, the two found themselves on a deserted island.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Kro finally lost his composure.
Staring at Renault as if he'd seen a ghost, his voice trembling, "How...how did you do that?!"
This is clearly not Xiluobu Village.
It wasn't even that area of the sea.
Renault ignored him, a cruel smile playing on his lips:
"I was hoping to leave you with a complete corpse, but now..."
run!
This was the only thought in Kro's mind.
He was no match for Renault.
Five-tone steps are fully extended.
However, how could he possibly outrun Renault?
