Wu Sheng walked behind Luffy, looked at the increasingly anxious Inugami, and the dull-eyed Crow, and asked, "Why don't you deal with him? Hurry up and finish the work and go have a midnight snack."

"He is completely different from the yakuza I longed for. I want to ask him why he quit the yakuza and why he did so many unethical things." Luffy spoke in a low voice, looking past Inugami and looking directly into Crowe's eyes.

Crowe naturally heard what he said and looked at his strangely persistent eyes with a dazed expression.

Being born in the underworld, he naturally has the awareness of death.

He reluctantly stood up, raised his head, waved his right hand, and a beam of light shot into the sky from the top of the bank, lifting the violent state of all the shadow legions present, and shouted to the Inugami who was in a manic confrontation: "Okay, change back to human form.

Well, we admit defeat..."

Inugami turned around, with strong unwillingness in his eyes: "Brother!"

"Stand down, and leave the rest to me. I have worked hard for you all these years." Crowe adjusted his clothes, acting like a big brother, and said to Luffy: "Do you know? Changing yourself is more painful than

It’s much better to be dragged forward by your own nature.”

"???" Luffy asked with a question mark.

Seeing Luffy's confused face, Crowe laughed nonchalantly: "Sometimes you desperately want to break away from the trajectory of fate and desperately want to take the right path, but at some point, there is only a muddy road ahead.

."

"This is the way I behave, whether it's murder, loan sharking, intimidation to collect debts, kidnapping for extortion, or fake death... I think, as long as I can keep walking on this muddy road,

One day, all the mud on your body will dry out and be left behind, right?" Crowe answered Luffy's question.

"This is my morality, my way of survival, and the foundation of my life. The word morality is used in the underworld, but it has nothing to do with morality." He explained all Luffy's doubts at once.

He also had doubts on his face. He tried his best to escape from the quagmire, but there was someone who yearned for him on the bright road. Knowing that he was about to die, he simply asked: "Underworld has always been a frightening word. I don't know."

I understand why you yearn for it, can you tell me?"

At this time, the shadow army was retreating in an orderly manner after eliminating the violence. Sauron and Nami came over and saw that several people seemed to be talking, but they did not interrupt and stood aside quietly, recovering their state.

"Because there is a person who is very important to me who is the underworld. His morality is completely different from yours." Luffy touched his hat: "He always avoids harming ordinary people, and he also goes out of his way to help innocent people.

You evil people are poisoning me."

"Oh? Is he also in Tokyo?" Crowe asked.

"Yes, his name is Shanks." Luffy replied.

"Oh, it's him." "What!?"

Crowe nodded and Bucky exclaimed.

"What, do you know each other?" Wu Sheng looked back at Bucky. Bucky and Shanks in this world also know each other?

"Ah..." Bucky didn't know what he thought of, his face darkened, neither affirming nor denying.

Crowe nodded: "The leader of the Dojima group, I have heard about his name for a long time, and I heard that he is a hero. Their way of doing things is indeed very different from the traditional underworld."

Luffy's eyes lit up when he heard Crow praising Shanks, and he wanted to have a mutual exaggeration meeting.

But after Crowe knew the answer he wanted, he stopped talking and interrupted Luffy: "I won't struggle anymore. Although I can absorb the negative emotional energy of the entire palace and use it to strengthen myself, but...

.I understand now that it was just a useless struggle. I should have died a year ago, but..." He seemed to be thinking of the fragments of the Sin Realm that Mammon had forcibly embedded in the palace.

"Let me die like a man." He looked at Luffy: "In return for no longer struggling to death, I hope you will let Inugami go and let him return to the public consciousness of the criminal world."

"Okay." Luffy replied simply.

"Okay, you don't seem to be coveting treasures." He said and turned his eyes to Bucky.

Crow turned back to look at Inugami: "You are the only one among us who doesn't want to leave the Kuroda group. Now that we are all dead and hungry for so many years, you can have a good meal of negative energy when you return to the sin world.

."

At this time, Inugami had returned to his human form, smoking a cigar, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and did not answer Crowe's words.

Crowe smiled, looked back at Luffy, knelt on his knees, put his hands on his thighs, and lowered his head: "Come on."

Luffy looked at Zoro with a serious expression.

Zoro understood, pulled out the Tengu Tongyu and handed it to Luffy.

Luffy took it, walked behind Crowe, and swung his sword without saying a word.

Crowe's body and head were separated, his face was full of calm, and before his head hit the ground, it turned into black particles and dissipated in the air.

The entire hall exploded at this moment. Under the gloomy sky, countless scarlet light pillars broke through the clouds and fell, covering the shadow soldiers in the hall. The largest light pillar was from the Inugami.

He was standing in the beam of light, sucking out the cigar in one breath, looking at Wu Sheng, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami one by one, trying to carve their looks into his soul, with deep hatred in his eyes, which seemed to say

Saying: "I will come back to you."

But He didn't want Crowe's self-sacrifice to be in vain, so he finally held back the anger in his heart and gradually dissipated in the scarlet light pillar without saying a word.

The bank behind the few people was completely empty, and the projections of human consciousness, negative emotions, evil thoughts, and shadow soldiers inside all disappeared in the beam of light.

Under the melting that seemed like God's redemption, a mysterious aura of sadness and loneliness that had come from a long time ago filled the entire hall, and time and space became silent.

The four of them couldn't help but be stunned as they looked at this glorious and spectacular scene that they had never seen before in Aaron's Hall.

After all, Aaron directly swallowed up all the shadows and negative emotions in the entire palace. Before he died, the palace was empty.

Half a minute later, the light beam dissipated, leaving only an empty bank in the entire hall.

Bucky, who was hanging on the Wu Sheng Silver Gun, looked at the core of the palace left where Crowe died. He swallowed his saliva, and the scar healed and he forgot about the pain. His eyes rolled around, and wrong thoughts came into his heart.

However, in the silent space, the sound of his saliva was extremely loud.

Luffy and the four of them all came to their senses and looked at him.

Bucky was startled and gulped again.

Now he realized it. Crowe died and it was time to settle the score with him. He laughed a little awkwardly and said in a low voice: "It's not that we don't know each other without fighting...

?"

"Hehehehehe..." Wu Sheng put him down with a smile and was about to start settling accounts, then said: "Yes?"

Luffy picked up the core of the palace and was not in a hurry to crush it and absorb it. He also had many questions to ask Bucky. The palace was the best environment. Otherwise, when he went out and saw four of them holding sharp blades surrounding a middle-aged man, maybe

I really thought they were bad boys.

Luffy handed the Tengu Tongyu back to Zoro. He did not check the harvest. He and Wu Sheng surrounded Bucky on the left and right, feeling that he had made a new breakthrough in the lower limit of the awakened person's standard.

"How does it feel to be a lackey for a glutton?" Wu Sheng asked first.

Bucky's face turned red: "How can you call a running dog when it comes to survival? I just want to live, isn't this wrong?"

Nami didn't believe it: "Then you could have warned us halfway through, right? Why did you still sneak attack Luffy?"

Bucky hesitated: "Because... I didn't know you were so strong... I thought you were just ordinary newcomers."

"Because you think we are doomed, so you just do bad things to survive?" Sauron interjected.

"Yes... I gave up the struggle after I knew this was the palace of a gangster brother. I thought you didn't know either." Bucky put his head together, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

.

"Then do you know that we are trapped in a tight siege just to save you?" Wu Sheng's question pointed to Bucky's heart again.

Bucky is not really a ungrateful person, otherwise he would not have awakened the will to resist. He knows that what he did this time is really embarrassing and sent to Siberia. His fair and edematous face has turned into a reddish color at this time.

.

There was an awkward silence.

For a long time, Bucky kept hesitating, and finally faced the four of them and said in a frustrated tone: "I'm sorry for you, life or death is up to you."

At this time, Orobosi emerged from his mind: "He is not like this. I am not trying to defend myself, but this time things are weird, as if someone has been inexplicably stimulating the greed in our hearts."

"I originally thought that Nue was playing tricks on me, but later I found out that He was also affected," Orobosi said.

Hearing that the greed in their hearts was stirred up, Wu Sheng and the other four were shocked and looked at each other, already knowing the culprit.

As soon as Luffy made a move, Wu Sheng shook his head at him and signaled him to stop talking. Then he said to Orobosi: "Don't use such inexplicable reasons to prevaricate us. Regardless of whether there is or not, at least we are in the same situation."

Despite the circumstances, I still provided you with the most benevolent assistance and did not give up on you just because we didn't know each other. Am I right?"

Orobos and Bucky nodded at the same time, indicating that they had no objection.

"Don't expect us to forgive you easily. In order to show your sincerity in apologizing, please first give us the information you have."

When Bucky heard that he seemed to have something to talk about, he nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "Oh, okay."

Wu Sheng smiled with satisfaction: "First question: Why are you so good?"

"?!" Bucky was stunned, feeling angry. Just as he was about to retort, Orobosi reminded him from behind: "Sincerity, sincerity!"

"..."

Okay, you can fight, you are awesome!

"I feel like I'm no longer good... I was also a top player in the team when I was young." Bucky said depressedly.

"Bad? Young? Team? Good player?" Wu Sheng was completely confused by these four information points. He and Luffy looked at each other in confusion. Does this guy still have an organization?

Wu Sheng thought for a moment and prepared to ask questions one by one: "How old are you this year? When did you awaken? Are you sure your fighting power remains as young as you were? When was the last time you went to the palace or the world of crime?"

Don't ask the age of a man who is single in his 30s! Bucky was annoyed and didn't want to answer, but Orobosi coughed behind him: "Sincerity, sincerity, sincerity."
