Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Hello! Is that the Golden Emperor?!" A rough voice like thunder suddenly roared out from the Den Den Mushi, as if it was going to break through the entire room.

The sudden noise instantly made the originally quiet room explode. The two people inside stood there in a daze, as if they were struck by lightning, completely at a loss as to what to do.

"This... is this a bloody blade?" Tezoro widened his eyes and muttered to himself with suspicion.

"No, it can't be him. I heard his voice with my own ears when we had the banquet on Cake Island. It was definitely different from this."

Felder shook his head so hard that the cigar in his mouth almost fell out.

He frowned, his face terribly gloomy, and thought to himself: Could it be that Tesoro's men were playing some tricks to deceive me? Maybe they didn't send the Den Den Mushi to Kuro at all.

At this time, Tezoro, who was standing aside, did not look much better.

He stared at the yelling Den Den Mushi, with a few veins faintly appearing on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Hello? Say something! What the hell are you two doing?" The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi seemed extremely dissatisfied with the silence on this side and continued shouting at the top of his voice.

"Are you Tezoro? Why did you become mute? If you have the guts, just make a sound!" The other party continued to shout, not giving the other side any chance to breathe.

Finally, Tezulo couldn't stand it anymore. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "I'm Tezulo, who are you?"

However, the answer from the other end of the Den Den Mushi was full of disdain and provocation: "Huh, so you can talk, I thought you were a mute."

After saying this, the man signaled to Kuro beside him with his eyes, indicating that the person in front of him was undoubtedly Tezoro.

Looking at Ryan's expression, Kuro couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He just finished telling Cloe some things and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Unexpectedly, the golden Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang.

After seeing this, Ryan volunteered to test the caller.

Without waiting for Kuro's consent, he directly connected the Den Den Mushi. Kuro wanted to see how Ryan was going to test the other party.

Who could have imagined that his so-called method of testing was so simple and crude—directly asking the other party whether it was him or her.

More importantly, Ryan's tone when he spoke was full of provocation, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke the other party.

If Kuro himself had faced such questioning, he would probably have been unable to suppress his anger.

However, what responded to him was a suffocating silence.

This silence seemed to freeze time and air, plunging the entire world into an eerie quietness.

After a long time, the sound of Tesoro's heavy breathing could be faintly heard from the Den Den Mushi.

The heavy breath was like a trapped beast, trying hard to suppress its inner anger and anxiety.

Although he was already furious, he forced himself to control himself out of concern that Kuro might be on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Tezulo finally managed to calm down.

He took a deep breath, and then asked Den Den Mushi in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Excuse me, are you a member of the Kuro Pirates?"

"Yes."

"So, is Mr. Kuro here?"

At this time, Ryan on the other end of the phone heard Tezoro's question, and he turned his head and looked at Kuro.

Kuro just nodded slightly, so Ryan quickly reached out and handed over the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

When Kuro took the Den Den Mushi, a magical scene happened.

The expression of the Den Den Mushi in front of Tesoro suddenly changed drastically.

Its originally dull and lifeless eyes suddenly became bright and exuded an indescribable majesty, which made people feel chilled just by looking at them.

Then, a deep and magnetic voice came out from Den Den Mushi's mouth: "I heard that you have something to ask me."

This voice seemed to carry an invisible pressure, like a mountain crushing an egg, hitting Tezoro's heart heavily.

The moment the voice reached Feld's ears, his whole body trembled violently, and a chill rushed from his spine to his forehead, as if he was thrown into an ice cellar.

He would never forget this voice. Even if it was just a slight sound, his heart would instantly tighten.

He would never forget that horrific scene. On that cake island, a shocking fight suddenly broke out just because of a disagreement on a word.

The two sides in the fierce battle were the famous and feared Big Mom on one side and the young man who was just starting out at the time and had occupied the title of Five Emperors by luck on the other side.

Everyone thought it was just a battle without any surprises, but unexpectedly, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The scene at that time was extremely chaotic, with violent force wreaking havoc everywhere and leaving devastation wherever it went.

Feld and other underground kings were drawn into that terrible battle.

Seeing everything around them crumbling and shattering, and the shadow of death following them, Feld and the others could only run desperately, using all their strength to escape from Cake Island.

If they had run a little slower, they would undoubtedly have become victims of the brutal battle, and might even have been destroyed along with the entire Cake Island.

Fortunately, they were lucky and managed to escape from Cake Island.

But Kuro's cruelty at that time was deeply imprinted in Feld's heart.
