After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

This was his scheme.

The opponent is a Devil Fruit user with outstanding abilities. It seems that he can subdue the enemy as long as he is within sight. It would be difficult for me to escape. I must cut off the opponent's line of sight and find a way to survive.

good chance!

Cat paws.

Clooney wore cat claw gloves on both hands, with all ten fingers covered in sharp gloves.

No sooner said than done, Kuro launched his attack with a swift grab, aiming for Nico Robin.

"Ten-flowered marigold!"

Robin was startled when ten arms sprouted from each of his arms, forming a shield-like circle.

The claws easily sliced ​​through, and the shield formed by the arms immediately injured Robin's arm, causing blood to splatter on the spot.

The Flower-Flower Fruit has outstanding abilities, but those arms are still made of her own flesh and blood, and they can still be damaged when attacked.

Robin also immediately retreated after being injured, crossing her arms again.

Eight-flower pattern - cramps.

Once this move is executed, eight arms will grow from the target's body and swiftly grab at the target's neck, arms, and feet.

Once hit, it will cause the enemy's body to bend backward and break their spine. It is named so because the opponent's body seems to convulse when attacked.

Before Robin could use her ability, Kuro once again used Silent Step, appearing in the shadows twenty meters away, completely avoiding Robin's sight and senses.

It seems that as long as you completely avoid the opponent's line of sight before they unleash their Flower-Flower Fruit, you can evade them.

It's nighttime now, so using silent footsteps to sneak into the darkness is the best way to hide, making it impossible for her to detect my presence.

However, the opponent's abilities were too terrifying. Kuro, who had narrowly escaped, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and dared not attack.

Silent Steps!

Kro immediately dodged backward and used the Silent Step technique repeatedly, running incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, the other party had disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Robin remained calm, glancing at the blood-stained wound on her upper arm and Django lying on the ground: "I misjudged. What a decisive guy. He abandoned his comrades and kept avoiding my sight, making it impossible to lock on with my Devil Fruit."

"It seems I haven't used my abilities much lately, and I'm a bit rusty. Married life has been too comfortable!"

His identity had been exposed, and he had to kill this sneaky guy who was trying to rob him.

Robin gripped Silver Fang tightly, took long strides, and disappeared into the darkness to begin the pursuit.

.

Kro leaped and bounded through the night like a nimble black cat.

He weaved through the streets and alleys, quickly shaking off his pursuers.

Only after reaching a grove of trees outside the town did I dare to breathe heavily.

"Good, very good... I actually ran into Nico Robin. I'm really lucky. She just went through a big battle and seems to be out of shape."

"After all, he is the son of a devil with a bounty of 7900 million Berries, and his Devil Fruit ability is also very strong."

Kro was still shaken.

If he had faced the enemy head-on, he would have been no match for him; his neck was almost broken. Luckily, he ran fast.

Now that he's temporarily out of danger, he needs to find a way to reunite with his crew and then inform Crocodile to spread the word about Nico Robin. That way, he'll succeed.

"Mr. Clooney, what are you doing out at night?"

Suddenly, an elegant and gentle male voice came from not far away.

Kro suddenly looked in the direction of the sound and, in the dim moonlight, could see a figure not far away.

The other person was wearing a black cloak and a wide-brimmed hat, blending into the darkness.

"who are you?"

Kro asked.

"Me? I come from the Grand Line, and my name is Elegance."

The man explained in a soft voice.

"grace?"

Kro narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're playing tricks, what are you trying to do?"

"Actually, I'm a bounty hunter."

The elegant gentleman smiled.

Silent Steps!

Upon seeing the other party introduce themselves, Kro took action without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, Kro unleashed his special skill and appeared before his opponent.

He had just raised his hand to swing his cat paw when his opponent punched him in the abdomen.

Kro felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen and was knocked back a long distance, kneeling on the ground. His stomach was churning and he was vomiting blood, clearly suffering from internal injuries.

The next moment, before he could even react, the other person disappeared from his sight, and then appeared behind him.

Silent Steps!

Kro forced out a silent step, barely dodging the opponent's bowl-sized fist.

When he turned around, he saw that the ground had collapsed and a pit had appeared where he had just been standing.

This guy's punches are incredibly powerful.

"you you……"

He couldn't understand how his silent footwork had been broken by the other party.

"Your Silent Step is the Shave from the Six Styles of the Navy. It's a bit slower, but it's much quieter. It looks like it's been improved quite well."

Martin looked at the other person: "Unfortunately, it's useless to me."

"If you want to defeat me, you'll need an even more powerful ultimate move!"

Kro gritted his teeth. His special move was difficult to control; once activated, he had no idea which direction he would appear in.

However, this is the only option left now.

He pushed up his glasses with his wrist and then opened his arms.

Die!

In the blink of an eye, Kro unleashed his strongest move, his body vanishing from the spot.

Using high-speed movement and attacks with cat claws, it can kill large numbers of enemies, so fast that even the attacker doesn't know what they're going to hit.

This move has a fatal weakness: after activating the spoon attack, the user has no idea who they are attacking.

rub!

Claw marks appeared on the ground.

rub!

Claw marks were also cut into the stone.

rub!

Claw marks were also found on the large tree not far away.

A strong wind blew across my face, but I couldn't see Clooney anywhere.

Martin casually drew his gun, deflecting two attacks from his opponent, sparks flying in mid-air.

Although he could barely see Kuro's figure in his field of vision, he could clearly sense all of Kuro's movements through his Observation Haki.

Every step I take!

Every swing of its claws!

Every strike!

Martin clearly perceived all of this.

This guy is using the Silent Step so much that he can't control his attack pace and rhythm, and can only roughly control it within a certain range or direction.

caught!

When Kro attacked for the third time, Martin punched him, knocking him to the ground and causing him to vomit blood, rendering him unable to fight back.

"What's next..."

Just as Martin was preparing for his next move, his Observation Haki sensed a graceful figure running quickly toward him.

Nico Robin is here!

Martin tried to leave, but Nicole Robin blocked his way.

Robin's voice was cold and clear: "Who are you?"

Martin changed his voice: "My name is Elegance, and I come from the Grand Line!"

"You're the elegant gentleman who rescued Orange Town last time?"

"That's strange, why do you look so familiar?"

Robin asked, his body remaining hidden in the darkness.

No way.

Wearing a mask and even changing my voice, I'm so well hidden that I shouldn't be recognized.

Martin did not respond.

Robin is very clever; this is very likely her testing him.

Martin didn't actually want to reveal his identity too early because Mr. Elegance's strength was too overpowered. He had even defeated Smoker, the White Hunter, and was a Devil Fruit user who had attracted a lot of attention.

The power of the Zanpakuto is too overpowered. Once it is unleashed, it will definitely attract attention from all sides, and people will also notice Robin.

Furthermore, he needs this unknown, secret identity to do certain things.
