Seeing this scene, Luffy looked at Mohji and the others who had already surrounded the courtyard, and said seriously: "No one is allowed to enter or leave this courtyard, understood?"
"Understood, Captain!"
Luffy nodded, and kicked the door open.
Hearing the commotion, a man wearing a sheep's head mask, a butler, walked out of the house. "Who, who are you?" The butler swallowed nervously, "This is a private residence, what do you want?"
"What do we want? We're here for an enemy. Where is Kuro the Strategist? Tell him to get out!"
Luffy's usual gentle demeanor changed, and his tone became extremely aggressive.
The butler's eyes widened. "There, there's no one named Kuro here."
"That's impossible. I asked his men, and they said he was hiding here with you, even using a fake name!"
After saying that, he pretended to mimic Kuro's mortal enemy, and slammed the unhinged door aside.
Next, the scene devolved into chaos. After a full five minutes of commotion, everyone in Kaya's house gathered in the living room. Security guards, maids, and butlers were all present, and in front of them sat a blonde girl in a wheelchair. Beside her was a man with glasses and dark green hair.
He squinted his eyes, looking at the Straw Hat Crew, who claimed to be his "enemies," and his heart was filled with doubt. To be honest, when he heard that his enemies were coming knocking, he was also quite scared. But he had never seen these people before! Where did these enemies come from?
While he was pondering, he said in a gloomy tone: "Who are you people? This is Kaya's private property, you..."
"Finally caught you, Kuro!"
Luffy cut him off before he could finish. Luffy waved his hand, and Zoro and the others immediately drew their swords, their eyes fixed on Kuro. Everyone in the room was stunned.
Kaya's eyes widened as she said, "Wait, is there a misunderstanding here? He's Klahadore, not the Kuro you're talking about!"
Kuro, who was being stared at by everyone, felt a pang in his heart and quickly defended himself: "Yes, I don't know any of you. What Kuro? You must have made a mistake!"
"Made a mistake? Hmph, I'd recognize you even if you turned to ash!"
Luffy stepped forward, his gaze so sharp that Kuro trembled all over. It was over. His plan, which he had meticulously developed for several years, was about to be for nothing.
Then, he heard Luffy say: "Mohji was hypnotized by you, mistaking he had caught Kuro, and that's why he caused a commotion in Shells Town for three years!"
"Also, what you did to that Marine ship killed my great-uncle!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Zoro and Nami were both stunned. His great-uncle was killed by him? This grudge is so deep!
Seeing Kuro's face change dramatically, he wanted to explain. Luffy directly pulled out a tattered wanted poster and held it up. "Still trying to deny it? Who doesn't recognize this face of yours!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the wanted poster.
[Kuro the Strategist]
[Guilty of heinous crimes, kill on sight]
[Bounty: 16 million Berries]
"Did you think you could get away with it by hiding in a mansion? Your men have already been captured by me!"
Luffy stared coldly at Kuro, deliberately trying to scare him: "They said you've recently been planning..."
To steal a big shot's treasure? As a Pirate Captain, your ambition is a little too small.
"It's over!"
As that last sentence came out, everyone in Kaya's family was shocked. Kaya couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief as she looked at Kuro. Because the face on that wanted poster was exactly the same as Klahadore's, absolutely no mistake!
At that moment, the sheep butler quickly pushed Kaya aside, and everyone began to whisper about whether Kuro was an internal spy.
"Klahadore, you're actually a Pirate Captain?"
"He wouldn't really want to rob the rich family's property, would he?"
"Damn it, no wonder the master passed away after you arrived! So you..."
Kuro listened to these accusations, so angry he couldn't speak clearly.
What is going on? My plan was about to succeed, so why are so many unexpected obstacles appearing? And there's even his great-uncle involved. This excuse is too disgusting!
But at this point, there was no way for him to explain. Perhaps from the moment this Luffy took out that wanted poster, he knew in his heart that this was over. The evidence was irrefutable, his only regret was he didn't have plastic surgery!
Even the most perfect plan has flaws, and now he was caught. He quietly lowered his head, adjusted his glasses, and a white light was reflected from the lenses.
"Klahadore..." Kaya finally understood, staring blankly at the man who had become a stranger before her: "So, my dad was really killed by you? You're a pirate?!"
"Ha… hahaha… it finally came out. Life is truly hilarious."
At this point, Kuro finally tore off his mask, his voice gradually becoming as cold as ice. Immediately after, as if striking from the shadows, he pounced on the nearest person.
Buggy: What the heck?
Speaking of this sudden naming, Buggy the Clown was completely dumbfounded. It took two seconds for him to react, and he didn't even try to dodge. He glared, smirked, and proudly allowed Kuro to slice him into eight pieces.
Then, as Kuro held the cat claw in his hand, looking confused, Buggy the Clown revealed a profound smile: "Trying to ambush your grandpa?"
