Just as everyone was waiting for Kuro's reply, Nami, who had been staying by Luffy's side, suddenly looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Huh? Is there a bounty poster for Chloe in that office? I didn't see one."

Luffy was speechless upon hearing this; what a great teammate!

But he still maintained his confident demeanor.

"You only have eyes for treasure; why would you pay attention to anything else?"

One sentence made Nami blush and smile shyly.

Kuro, who had been silent all along, finally made a move. He adjusted his glasses with his hand and stared coldly at Luffy.

He had just gleaned a piece of information from Luffy and Nami's conversation: they had indeed been to Morgan's office.

Although he didn't know why the pirates would go to the Navy captain's office, it seemed to be true.

He couldn't help but curse Monka inwardly for keeping the bounty on "him" even after he had already captured him.

Even so, Kro remained calm and said.

"I think you've mistaken me for someone else, sir."

“I am Krabatel, the steward here, not some pirate Kuro.”

At this moment, Kaya also stepped forward to speak for Chloe.

"Yes, Krabatel has been working here as a butler for three years. He has always been gentle and kind, and he is not a pirate at all!"

"Sir wearing a straw hat, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

With Kaya's protection, Chloe felt even more confident.

How could this foolish young lady possibly doubt him based solely on Luffy's word?

Over the past three years, he has completely gained this young lady's trust!

Without conclusive evidence proving he is Chloe, Koya's opinion will not change.

At this moment, Kuro continued to retaliate against Luffy.

"Everything requires evidence, sir."

"For example, you just admitted yourself that you are a group of pirates."

Kuro cleverly used this opportunity to point out that Luffy and his crew were pirates, and the idea of ​​them being pirates was even less credible.

Then he looked at Usopp, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"It's one thing for you to disturb Miss's rest at other times, but today you've brought a group of pirates to get close to her. What are you up to?"

"As expected of a filthy pirate's son, he actually came up with a reason like framing me to get close to you, Miss?"

When Usopp heard Kuro say the word "filthy," his previous fear vanished completely, replaced by anger.

Knowing that Usopp's weakness was his father, Kuro wanted to provoke Usopp and make him show his brutal side in front of Kaya, thus severing their relationship.

Just as he was about to further provoke Usopp, Luffy spoke up.

"You want evidence, right?"

Kuro was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Luffy curiously, knowing that this was the most difficult person to deal with in this group, so he frowned slightly and nodded.

"That's right! You can't just make me bear the name of a dirty pirate based on your words alone, can you?"

Upon hearing that Kuro had categorized his past self as dirty, Luffy couldn't help but admire Kuro's determination to completely let go of his past.

But despite his feelings, he still wanted to expose Clooney's true colors.

"Uta, sing a song!"

Luffy suddenly said.

This statement stunned everyone present.

Sing?

What song should we sing at this time?

Only Uta understood Luffy's meaning instantly. She leaped onto the roof of Kaya's villa and began to sing.

Everyone looked puzzled and confused.

Then, they all witnessed an incredible scene.

Suddenly, the scene around them changed, and the land turned into a running track as colorful as a rainbow.

Kaya's villa has been transformed into a stage, and all the flowers and plants in the yard have become musical notes that seem to come alive.

In the blink of an eye, they all found themselves in a magnificent and dazzling world of music.

This is the power of the Uta Song-Song Fruit, which can bring a person's spirit into a musical world without them even realizing it.

As long as you hear Uta's singing, no matter where you are or what your strength is, you cannot escape Uta's power.

And those who enter the world of music are often unaware that they have fallen into a state of power.

Their bodies had all become empty shells, completely under Uta's control in reality.

Within the spiritual world.

"What...what's going on?"

Nami exclaimed in surprise as she looked at everything new and exciting around her.

"so beautiful!"

Kaya looked at the rhythmic musical notes around her and the fresh environment with delight.

"Something terrible has happened. Kaya's home is gone."

Usopp felt sorry for Kaya, who would have nowhere to live in the future.

"Devil fruit?"

Zoro immediately realized the reason.

Kro naturally guessed that this was the power of a Devil Fruit, but he felt that things were getting worse and worse, and his brows furrowed more and more.

At this moment, Luffy searched his memory and transmitted Kuro's bounty and related information to Uta through the transmission of his comprehension.

Uta, on the other hand, used her ability to transform musical notes into anything she wanted to create, and conjured up Kro's bounty poster and related information in front of everyone.

"I saw this bounty notice and information in Monca's office."

"See for yourselves!"

Luffy was speaking to the others.

In reality, this information was fabricated by him, taking only a portion of the information that could prove Clooney's identity.

Soon, Nami, Usopp, Kaya, Zoro, and the others started looking at the information and bounty notices.

"This wanted poster really does look exactly the same!"

The group glanced at the bounty poster, then at Crow, and indeed, they looked exactly alike.

"The information says that due to his combat habits, Kro has a habit of using his palm to adjust his glasses..."

Everyone looked up and saw that Chloe was holding up her glasses with her palm.

"The information says that Kro's weapon is a pair of cat paw gloves, inside which is a weapon called [Ten Blades]."

Everyone looked up and saw that Chloe was wearing a pair of cat paw gloves.

...

The group glanced at the documents in their hands and then at Kro.

Every single description of the characteristics matches Chloe perfectly.

"enough!"

Finally, Kro could no longer hold back.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Kro's Fury

"enough!"

Kro shouted angrily, and his demeanor changed abruptly.

The butler, who had initially appeared refined and gentle, suddenly exuded a dangerous aura.

Immediately, Usopp and Nami, two of the cowardly trio, were so frightened that they retreated and hid behind Luffy, Zoro, and the others.

Kaya, however, was incredulous after noticing Kro's change and said...

"Krabatel, are you really... the pirate Kuro?"

When Kro angrily interrupted them, he decided to stop pretending.

At this moment, he sneered, adjusted his glasses with his palm, and said.

"It's been three years. I've been patiently waiting for this goal for three years."

"For the past three years, I have been living a disgusting and nauseating life, pretending to be a butler in front of you, my stupid young lady, which disgusts me."

Upon hearing this, Kaya's eyes rolled back in disbelief.

The person you trust most suddenly speaks ill of you, saying that all the behavior that made you trust them was an act.

No one could accept this.

"Keya!"

Usopp cried out in concern, mustered his courage, rushed out, and quickly pulled Kaya behind Luffy to hide.

Meanwhile, Kro continued to speak angrily.

"Three days, just three days, and I can achieve my goal."

"During a pirate attack, take advantage of the unexpected death of the villa's owner to rightfully inherit the estate and live as an ordinary person."

...

"The villa owner..."

Usopp muttered something to himself, then realized what he was doing and angrily poked his head out to ask.

"You bastard, are you planning to kill Kaya in three days?"

Kro sneered.

"That's right! Just like the unexpected deaths of her parents."

Upon hearing Kro's words, Kaya's pupils dilated in shock, and she exclaimed in anger.

“Kra...Kroo, my parents…”

Kro sneered again.

"Yes, I killed them all."

"You foolish young lady still considers me, your enemy, as the person you trust most!"

"How pathetic!"

Kaya was overwhelmed by the barrage of information and could hardly breathe. Her already weak body collapsed and fainted in Nami's arms.

"Keya!"

Usopp cried out in concern, then glared angrily at Kuro and roared.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you."

After saying that, Usopp took out a slingshot from his bag, aimed at Kuro, and fired.

"Ultimate Kill - Gunpowder Star!"

A small black ball flew rapidly towards Kro.

Just as the shot was about to hit Kro, he suddenly raised his hand, and five sharp claws instantly sprang out from the fingertips of his glove, slashing forward.

boom!

An explosion rang out, but Kro was unharmed.
