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

Chapter 48 Your balls are broken—

"Kuroro, you damned brat! You treacherous and cunning little devil!"

"Hit him in the balls, that's a trick kids use when they fight!"

The golden lion, now with a rooster-like voice, cursed in a shrill tone.

He clutched his groin, looking as if he were in excruciating pain!

"Hahahaha—your balls are broken!"

Kuroro pointed at his crotch and mocked him, then continued his relentless assault on his crotch!

"I'm going to kill you, Kuroro!!"

"I will absolutely kill you!"

The golden lion revealed an expression of unbearable resentment.

Using that attack, he had already increased the distance between himself and Kuroro.

Furthermore, as the Armament Haki spread throughout his body, the strange magnetic force was largely eliminated.

The Golden Lion's body slowly rose, floating alone above the group, gazing indifferently at Chrollo below:

"No matter how many abilities you have, there's a weakness that every ability user has that they absolutely cannot avoid... and that's seawater!"

"Die! You're doomed by my attack!"

"I can control not only the land, but also the sea!"

"Lion's Might - Sea Waterfall"

As the golden lion pressed down forcefully with both hands...

The entire sea beneath the floating island seemed to boil, bubbling and churning.

Then, amidst the stunned expressions of Bonnie and the others...

Seawater surged back, rising out of nowhere, transforming into five enormous, lion-like torrents that shot skyward, enveloping the entire island—

It formed an absolute, airtight canopy!

Bonnie was so shocked by the horrific scene that she couldn't speak...

"Oh no, oh no... I'm doomed! Absolutely doomed!"

"Wait..." She then realized what was happening, and her expression turned strange.

Bonnie's fear of seawater has nothing to do with Kuroro...

She clearly remembered that apart from Uvogin, who had just obtained the Devil Fruit power, the rest of the Phantom Troupe members were not afraid of seawater at all!

Especially that scheming guy above, does he have any weaknesses?

........

"You absolutely cannot avoid such a wide-ranging seawater attack!" The Golden Lion looked extremely smug.

"Seawater is the most effective counter to Devil Fruit users! Once I break through your strange abilities, the seawater will exhaust your stamina, and then let's see what you'll use to fight me!"

"Hahahaha—" The golden lion let out a wild laugh.

"Victory is mine!"

"Nisuchi——"

"Rumble, rumble—"

Tens of thousands of tons of seawater fell from the sky like a waterfall.

The entire world was overturned beneath the sea—like a torrential downpour.

Kuroro and the others' bodies were gradually engulfed by the seawater.

Watching this scene, the golden lion's face was filled with smugness.

"Trembling with fear, aren't you—"

"Give up the resistance, huh?

"Under my final move, under this divine might, you can only despair and await your death—"

"Splash—"

The seawater fell, soaking Kuroro completely.

The golden lion watched this scene with excitement, but as it watched, its eyes became confused... until it was completely lost.

After the waves subsided, Chrollo was still able to step into the air using Moonwalk, completely unaffected by the seawater...

"?" The golden lion tilted its head, looking puzzled.

Kid, when I type a question mark, it doesn't mean I have a problem; it means I suspect you have a problem.

"Why didn't the seawater have any effect on you?!" the Golden Lion roared furiously.

Why is it ineffective?

Kuroro gave a half-smile, then raised his head.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm not a Devil Fruit user!"

All of his abilities are Nen abilities, and the power of the Year-Year Fruit was stolen from Bonney. In essence, the Year-Year Fruit is still inside Bonney; he simply stole the power for his own use through poaching.

Not being a Devil Fruit user, of course they wouldn't be afraid of seawater!

"You've come at the perfect time!"

Kuroro looked around, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Thanks to your seawater, otherwise it would have taken some effort to defeat you~"

"Instant replacement—"

"call out--"

Although he could no longer use [Instant Replacement] on himself, Kuroro still managed to leave a mark on Shiki's body through contact.

At this moment, Shiki unleashed his ultimate attack, but the Armament Haki on his body faded due to insufficient stamina.

[Instant Replacement] is now activated!

By activating the mark, Chrollo swapped himself with a drop of seawater beside him, instantly placing the Golden Lion under this sea waterfall!

The golden lion looked utterly horrified and turned to try to escape, but Kuroro, already trapped, was not about to let him get away so easily!

Kuroro is not afraid of seawater, but the one who is truly afraid of seawater is... Shiki himself!

"This vast ocean will be your fatal blow, Golden Lion~"

Kuroro's figure flashed behind him, his hand raised.

"I wonder if you like this dramatic scene~"

"Fish Swimming in a Secluded Room—"

"call out--"

A square, enclosed space appeared around the golden lion, filled entirely with seawater.

Inside this seawater-filled chamber, the golden lion struggled, clutching his own neck. His throat and nasal passages were completely filled with seawater, causing him to suffocate. The seawater was draining away his strength.

Desperate struggle...and finally, unconsciousness.

Upon seeing this, Kuroro's face lit up with barely suppressed excitement.

Flying Admiral, remnant of the old era, the legendary pirate who single-handedly destroyed half of Marineford—Golden Lion…capture complete!!!

【Fish Swimming in a Secluded Chamber {Conjuration Type}】

[Through Nen ability, a closed space containing piranhas is materialized, and the substance filling the space is determined by the surrounding environment.]

Its characteristic is that the space is airtight, and no matter what the substance filling the space is, the creatures inside will not die.

Once in Yorknew City, the leader used this ability to create a secret room where the enemy imprisoned inside, who had been reduced to a head by piranhas, was still alive.

For the Golden Lion, the best substance to fill the secret chamber is naturally seawater.

Enveloped in seawater, the golden lion lost all its strength and was unable to use its abilities or Haki to break through the secret chamber, thus becoming trapped inside.

In an attempt to defeat Chrollo's Golden Lion with seawater, the Lion was instead defeated by the seawater that had backflowed into its own territory...

It was undeniably dramatic.

With the diverse Nen abilities from "Thief's Ultimate Technique," combined with the powerful physical attributes granted by the Year-Year Fruit,

In ten minutes, Kuroro perfectly hunted the Golden Lion.

The members of the troupe below watched this scene with knowing smiles.

In their hearts, no matter how powerful the enemy, in front of their leader, they could only quietly wait to be hunted.

In contrast, ...

A look of utter astonishment filled Bonnie's little face.

She stared at the golden lion that Kuroro had successfully captured, her facial features completely distorted in terror, creating a truly meme-worthy expression—

She was absolutely stunned!
