Usopp hurriedly arrived at Kaya's mansion.

He avoided the guards and sneaked in, running to the tree beside Kaya's room and jumping onto a branch.

“Not good, Kaya!”

Usopp saw Kaya lying by the window on her bed, quietly reading a book.

The worry in his heart finally eased.

There was still time; as long as he could quickly tell Kaya the truth and take her away...

“What’s wrong, Usopp?”

Kaya brushed her golden hair behind her ear, her expression brightening at the sight of the boy, but then she noticed the panic on Usopp's face, and her concern grew.

“Kaya, listen to me, your butler Kloh...”

“He's a pirate!”

Usopp hurriedly shared the intel he had just learned. “You need to come with me now; I’ll explain everything later.”

“Hahaha, what are you talking about, Usopp?”

Kaya was taken aback for a moment, then began to laugh. “Is this today's story?”

Since Kaya's parents passed away, she had fallen into a state of depression, and her health had begun to decline.

It was Usopp who had stayed by her side, often coming to tell her grand stories.

Kaya knew those stories were fake because she had read some of them in books.

But she never called him out on it; she simply played along with Usopp, occasionally showing a smile.

Sometimes it was because the stories were funny, and other times, it was just that looking at this boy made her inexplicably happy.

The tension on Usopp's face deepened; he realized Kaya thought of his words as just another story.

His voice involuntarily grew louder, “No, Kaya! I’m serious!”

Suddenly, he remembered the bounty notice he had received from Leina and hurriedly fished it out of his pouch.

Knock, knock, knock—

There was a knock on Kaya's door.

“Miss Kaya, it’s me, Kloh.”

“I’ve brought you lunch.”

Hearing Kloh's voice, Usopp was startled, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

“This is bad, Usopp.”

Kaya became a bit flustered. “You need to leave quickly; if Kloh discovers you, he'll call the guards to chase you away again.”

“No way!” Usopp's hands trembled as he spread the bounty notice in front of Kaya.

“Look! I’m not lying to you! This is real; hurry up and come with me! I’ll jump out the window with you; trust me, Kaya!”

“This... this is!” Kaya looked at the portrait on the bounty notice, her expression turning incredulous.

Except for the different attire, the face was almost identical to Kloh's!

“How could this be... Kloh!” Kaya found it hard to accept.

The gentle and refined butler had suddenly turned into a pirate with a bounty of 16 million Berries?

“Miss Kaya, are you okay?”

“I’m coming in.”

Outside, Kloh sensed something was off.

Today was the day he was supposed to meet Zanko, yet the other party had not shown up for a long time, and he felt like tearing Zanko apart.

Coupled with Kaya's reaction...

He had clearly heard noises from inside but had not heard Kaya's response.

Even if it was inconvenient to enter, she would at least say something, right? He felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

“Could it be...?”

“Zanko that useless fool!”

Kloh, renowned for his cunning, instantly pieced it together.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and the door to the room was violently kicked open.

Kloh gritted his teeth, looking at Usopp, who was preparing to leave with Kaya by the window.

His expression darkened to a terrifying degree.

“K-Kloh!” Usopp and Kaya gasped.

Seeing Kloh don a long claw-like glove from his suit, Usopp involuntarily began to tremble.

“Why?” Kloh's eyes were cold as he spoke:

“How did you find out? Don’t tell me you useless fool defeated Zanko?”

“Hey, we told him.”

A crisp voice suddenly came from outside the window.

Luffy squatted on a tree branch, holding a half-eaten plate of food.

He stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, looking calmly at Kloh. “I defeated that weird glasses guy.”

“Who are you?”

“I’m Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!”

“Pirate King? So you’re a pirate too.”

Kloh looked at Luffy coldly. “Why? I have no enmity with you, or is it...”

“You want to come over and play the good guy?”

“Good guy? No, I’ve said it; I want to be the Pirate King. As for why...”

Luffy placed the plate on the windowsill, rubbed his fists together, and showed a big white grin.

“I saw you and didn’t like you, so I came to beat you up; it’s that simple!”

As Luffy spoke, he stretched out his hand, wrapping around Usopp and Kaya, bringing them downstairs.

“What is this?!”

“His hand got longer!”

Usopp and Kaya looked in shock at the arm that enveloped them.

“Is that it?”

Kloh's face gradually turned sinister. “Three years! Three years of hard work down the drain!”

“All because of your inexplicable reason! Everything wasted, all because you don’t like me, everything ruined!”

“You deserve to die!!!”

Kloh roared, his ‘Ten Blades’ unfurling, revealing a sharp glint.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Kloh's figure instantly vanished from the spot; this was his ‘Silent Step,’ a silent and high-speed burst of movement.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Luffy!

“So fast!”

Luffy was astonished; he couldn’t react to the sudden burst of speed.

Swish!

Blood sprayed as the ‘Ten Claws’ left several gashes on Luffy's chest.

“Damn it!” Luffy gritted his teeth; despite instinctively pulling back, he was still slashed and flipped backward onto the lawn.

However, Kloh did not stop after landing a hit; he pursued relentlessly, closing in as Luffy hit the ground.

The claws struck down fiercely!

“Clang—!”

A burst of sparks flashed in the air.

A figure in all black, with sharp teeth, held a knife to block Kloh’s claws.

“What the hell is this?”

Kloh looked in horror at the Devil of the Knife; this person...

No, this thing doesn’t look human at all, does it?!

It looks too creepy!

“Zzz—zz—”

A sharp, piercing sound rang out, and another eerie figure emerged.

Its ferocity surpassed that of the Devil of the Knife, with three high-speed rotating chainsaws that made one shudder.

“Ah!!!”

A sharp scream rang out as Kaya covered her face with her hands, as if she had seen something terrifying.

“How rude.”

Leina walked up from behind, followed by Zoro and Nami.

Looking at the panicked Kaya, Leina casually lit a cigarette and said, “Little Knife and Little Saw will be sad.”

“That name sounds strange on them, you bastard!”

Nami shot him a glare. “This thing is disgusting no matter how many times you see it!”

“In any case, our target is him; he looks like a good opponent.”

Zoro drew his sword, looking at Kloh with interest.

“Roronoa Zoro?”

Kloh looked at Zoro, who had drawn his sword. Although he had faded into the background, he still kept an eye on information from the outside.

He was not unfamiliar with the pirate hunter Zoro, who had risen to fame in the East China Sea over the past two years as a three-sword style swordsman.

Seeing Luffy, Zoro, and two strangely looking beings,

Kloh's expression became serious. “This situation is really not good!”

Leina controlled the two demons to surround Kloh while he hid behind them.

He casually took the long gun off his back and began loading bullets.

Four against one?

No, it’s five against one!

This isn’t a duel; no one would think it’s unfair.

Kloh, I want you to help me train!
