Before Hina could respond, Kronos turned to face the hordes of Marines rushing in.
Immediately after, Kronos continued to move forward as if he hadn't seen the rushing Marines.
A member of the Kamui Pirates, also led by Kronos, undauntedly strode toward the Marines.
"It's really enthusiastic," Kronos commented.
"I remember when I met them for the first time, there were quite a few of them."
Gojo Satoru followed Kronos, smiling calmly.
Obviously, he didn't take the hundreds of Marines seriously at all.
It's not just that he doesn't take them seriously. Others, too!
The Kamui Pirates weren't fazed by the situation at all.
Hina was a bit confused.
Looking at Kronos' back, Hina's eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension.
"Why?! Why didn't they run?"
"That's a few hundred Marines, and there are only ten of them."
"Walking toward the Marine formation like this, what are they trying to do?!"
It was also at this time that a bad feeling suddenly rose in Hina's heart.
Immediately after, she noticed something.
As Kronos walked toward the Marine formation, the aura around him began rising sharply.
This sudden discovery surprised Hina.
'What is this guy… trying to do?!'
At the moment when Hina's thoughts rose and fell, Kronos' momentum shifted.
His steps were slow but deliberate.
Clatter!
The top-tier Conqueror's Haki erupted from Kronos the moment his foot landed.
Om!!
Boom!!
A deafening hum exploded.
The top-tier Conqueror's Haki seemed to turn into a gust of wind.
With Kronos at the center, it spread outward in all directions.
Shhhhh!!
Wherever Haki went, wooden objects shattered on the spot, and glass items broke into pieces.
Crack! Crack! Crack...
Dang! Dang...
The Haki turned into a strong wind, passing over everyone in the Marine formation.
It made them sway, and their hair slightly moved in the breeze.
Immediately afterward, the pace of the hundreds of sailors in the Marine formation slowed down.
Their solemn expressions collapsed, turning into confusion and sluggishness.
One by one, all the sailors staggered and rolled their eyes.
They passed out directly.
Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop...
The sound of falling was muffled.
The Marines fell one after another.
But in the blink of an eye, all the Marines had collapsed to the ground.
There was no one standing!
The Kamui Pirates, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected.
Swaying past the fallen bodies of the Marines, they strode forward!
Behind them, Hina, who witnessed this scene, couldn't control her emotions.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and a look of incredible shock appeared on her face.
"This... this is Haki?!"
"Is that a joke?!"
"To be so young and able to master such a powerful Conqueror's Haki?!"
"This terrifying aura, it even shocked me."
"Is this guy... a monster?!"
Hina was horrified. Her eyes trembled violently, like an earthquake, and she stood there dazed.
On the other side, the four handymen at the back of the line couldn't hold back their excitement and laughed softly.
"Shoutout!! As expected of the captain, he took care of all these Marines in an instant!"
"It's really Haki!"
"To take care of so many Marines in an instant—if we had been with the captains before him (Ace), we would have just had to run for our lives, right?"
"Who said it wasn't?"
"Shoutout! Shoutout!!"
The four handymen chatted in low voices with low laughs.
At this moment, they already regarded Kronos as their faith in their hearts!
And from the bottom of their hearts, following Kronos was the best decision they had ever made!
They were becoming true members of the Kamui Pirates!
And they would get stronger!
They wouldn't let their existence become a black spot for the Kamui Pirates!
At the rear, Hina just watched as Kronos and the others left.
After a while, she sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... It seems that I really can't keep them!"
Murmuring to herself, Hina casually found a stone and sat down.
She lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, looking up at the sky, exhaling a puff of white smoke.
"Kronos... Kamui Pirates... Sister? Heh..."
Finally, Hina couldn't help but shake her head mockingly.
Although troubled, she realized there was no point.
There was a lot of noise, but the Kamui Pirates hadn't left the country.
And the key to this was that their ship still hadn't been repaired yet.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to stay in this country for two or three days.
The group passed through a few alleys and streets, but they couldn't find a restaurant to fill up.
Instead, they stumbled upon the hotel where they were staying first.
They didn't worry much about finding a restaurant first; the priority was to decide where they were going to stay.
Kronos led the crew and walked toward the hotel.
Dah! Dah! Dah! Dah...
Continuous footsteps echoed.
In front of the hotel counter, they disturbed the hotel owner, who was resting with a fat body.
"Hello, please—"
The customary greeting was cut short as the hotel owner was stunned by the large group of people walking in.
The voice also stopped abruptly.
"Ten rooms, do you have them?"
Without talking to the innkeeper or bothering to figure out who would share rooms, Kronos asked for ten rooms.
The stunned hotel owner nodded quickly after pondering for a while.
Kronos took out a small bag of gold coins and spoke.
"Take us."
The innkeeper took a look at the gold and immediately said with a smile.
"Okay! Okay!"
