He's in One Piece, but he's also part of the Phantom Troupe.

Chapter 5: Captain... Captain?

Uvogin grinned maliciously as he walked toward Urki.

"Commander, may I kill him...?"

Kuroro stood still, his expression remaining calm and serene.

"If we spare his life, he'll still be of some use to us..."

Before the battle begins, Kuroro has to conduct an experiment.

He walked up to Phinks and commanded:

"Lend me your abilities."

Phinks grinned and nodded, then placed his hand on Kuroro's palm.

The new [Thief's Mastery] [Poaching] ability requires four conditions to be met to take effect:

1. Touch the other person with your hand for more than three seconds, during which time the other person cannot resist.

2. I have personally witnessed and understood the other party's abilities.

3. Ask the other party questions about their abilities to get a definite answer, or defeat them.

4. The above three actions should be completed within one hour.

Accompanied by a dazzling light, a transparent blue sheet of paper, visible only to Chrollo, appeared in front of Phinks, recording Phinks' Nen ability, "Heavenly Reincarnation."

[Nen Ability: Reincarnation (Enhancement Type)]

[Effect: Like winding up a spring, power is accumulated by rotating the arm. The more rotations, the greater the amount of "qi" gathered in the arm, resulting in a geometric increase in the power of the next punch.]

After borrowing the power, Kuroro checked his own attribute panel.

The Nen ability category has been expanded to 24 types, but the attribute point allocation function of [Poaching] is not working.

really.......

Since the members of the Phantom Troupe had already had their abilities borrowed by Chrollo, they are not considered to be involved in "poaching".

Kuroro had planned to use the group members to get a large number of attribute points for free, but it seems he was overthinking it.

"This e-book is pretty smart; looks like we can't exploit any bugs..."

Kuroro shook his head and cupped his palm.

Immediately following, the page representing "Return to Heaven" transformed into a stream of light in mid-air and entered Uvogin's body not far away.

This is the effect of the new ability [granted].

Kuroro can extract the abilities from a single page of "The Ultimate Thief's Manual" and temporarily implant them into the bodies of members of the Phantom Troupe.

The conditions for activation are also four:

First, the person being planted must be a spider, meaning the [granted] ability cannot be used on outsiders.

Secondly, the other party's magnanimity is sufficient to withstand the two current capabilities.

Third, when planting, the object must be within sight.

Fourth, the ability to plant must be of the same lineage as the object.

Uvogin is an enhanced Nen user, so he can also use Phinks's "Return to Heaven".

Furthermore, his immense capacity for energy is sufficient to support him possessing two abilities simultaneously.

With everything ready, Kuroro spoke:

"The opponent's ability is to transform the opponent's attacks into power to strengthen their own body. The greater the damage they take, the larger their body becomes and the greater the increase in strength."

As he said this, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up:

"This is our first battle in this brand new world of the Dark Continent. Let's wreak havoc..."

Uvogin's physical attributes are in no way inferior to Urouge's.

He also specially equipped Uvogin with Nen, which could counter the opponent's abilities, so there was no reason for him to lose.

Uvogin clenched his fist, looked into his palm, felt the strange yet familiar powerful force within him, a sinister smile appeared on his lips, and he excitedly walked towards Urouge.

............

Meanwhile, the members of the Corrupted Monk Pirates witnessed the entire scene of the Phantom Troupe deciding who would make a move through "rock, paper, scissors".

This almost childish behavior was seen by them as the ultimate humiliation and contempt.

Urki's signature confident smile finally vanished completely.

His gaze bypassed Uvogin and finally landed on Chrollo:

"So you're the captain...?"

"They only sent one subordinate to deal with me? They really underestimated me!"

"Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant, guarding just a mere passenger ship?"

"They really don't know their own limitations..."

He looked at the group of people with a mocking gaze.

"It seems you have no idea just how vast and dangerous this ocean truly is!"

"Let me show you... the magical power of this ocean."

Urki spread his arms wide, veins bulging, and swung a huge pencil in his hands, exuding a unique aura belonging to the fruit of cause and effect.

"Under this force..."

"I will make you kneel at my feet, weeping and repenting for your ignorance and arrogance!"

"Hahahaha—!" Uroki let out a wild laugh.

"Hahahaha—" The monks behind him winked and then burst into laughter.

Seeing this, the monks behind him immediately joined in the commotion, making all sorts of strange noises and jeers, trying to overwhelm the other party with their imposing manner.

They stared at the members of the brigade with unbridled lewdness, making comments and using extremely foul language:

"Tsk, what a bunch of freaks!"

"Look at that shorty! He's not even as tall as my waist. Did he run off to become a pirate before he was even weaned? Hahahaha!"

A fat monk with big ears pointed at Feitan, laughing so hard that his fat jiggled.

It hardened... Feitan's fist hardened.

"Hey, there's another one who's too ashamed to show their face! They've completely covered their face with their hair. Are they too ugly to be seen? They look like a little kid who hasn't fully grown up!"

Another tall, thin monk mocked Kubi.

Kubi kept his head down in silence, his wide bangs obscuring his expression, but his aura became even more gloomy.

"Pfft, there's another one over there wrapped in bandages! Is it a mummy just dug out of the pyramid? Won't it fall apart?"

The man who had been peeling off his bandages was nearly bursting with rage: "Ignorant fool! This is the battle attire of a Judondu warrior!"

However, the most disgusting comments came from the female members of the troupe.

"However... these girls are surprisingly good quality."

The monks' eyes gleamed with undisguised lewdness as they scanned Machi, Paknoda, and Shizuku like they were appraising merchandise.

The fat monk licked his thick lips, staring intently at Machi's short pink hair and petite figure, his mouth practically watering.

"That pink-haired loli is mine! She's got something special!"

The tall, thin monk beside him lingered greedily over Paknoda's figure and low neckline, clicking his tongue and saying:

"Tasteless! A sophisticated, professional woman like that is the real gem! Dressed like that, isn't she deliberately trying to seduce men? I'm going to give her a good 'interrogation' later!"

Another muscular, burly monk rubbed his hands together, his gaze lingering on Xiao Di's curvaceous figure, and chuckled:

"You guys don't know anything! The ones with glasses are the most charming! And judging by this size... it's no smaller than that mature woman's!"

"Later, your brother will let you experience what 'ultimate' pleasure really means! Hahaha!"

These foul words spread through the air like poisonous insects.

Machi, Paknoda, and Shizuku remained expressionless; they felt that even anger at the covetousness of ants was a waste of their emotions.

However, these insulting words completely ignited the anger of the other members of the brigade.

Even someone as flamboyant and unconventional as Finks once silently took off his own coat and handed it to Xiaodi when her clothes were torn.

The group may be cold-hearted, but they will never tolerate outsiders trampling on their members, especially women.

The last trace of mocking smiles on Nobunaga, Feitan, Phinks, and the others' faces vanished, replaced by an extreme coldness.

True killing intent is often hidden beneath a blank expression.

Their eyes were already looking at a group of dead people.

"How long has it been since anyone dared to speak to us like that?" Nobunaga asked expressionlessly.

"Looks like we still need fame. At least in the human world of the island in the middle of the lake, no one dares to talk to us like that," Feitan concluded.

"It's alright, our names will soon be known throughout this dark continent."

As before, people are filled with fear when they hear about us, their faces show terror, and their legs tremble unconsciously. How wonderful.

"That's the look that's most suitable for us, isn't it..." Finks grinned.

Under their watchful eyes, Uvogin slowly walked out and met Urki's gaze.

Uvogin's lips gradually stretched into a ferocious expression:

"Only the mouth of a dead man is truly silent."

"I'll kill you all..."

"Leave no one alive."
