"Never in my life did I expect to find the Black Cat Pirates losing to a bunch of children," Klahadore said coldly, adjusting his glasses with his right hand while dropping the bag he held in his left onto the ground. "My crew certainly isn't what it used to be. I'm disappointed, Jango!" He shouted, his voice reverberating around the slope.
The way he could go from calm to enraged in an instant sent a shudder down Lambo's spine. There was definitely something wrong with this guy. He supposed there had to be for him to be willing to kill an entire village full of people he'd known for years.
Jango hesitated for a moment before stuttering out "B-But didn't you say that these kids would be no problem?!"
Klahadore remained unmoved. "Yes, I did. What of it? I knew they would come here and try to stop you, but what I didn't expect was for you, the ruthless Black Cat Pirates, to be so pathetic."
"P-Pathetic...?" Jango asked, his fearful expression beginning to be replaced with an angered one.
"Who are you calling pathetic?!" Jango was not the only one insulted. Sham and Buchi turned their attention away from their previous opponents and to their captain as well.
Lambo and Zoro glanced at each other as their previous opponents left them.
"Looks like they're gonna fight amongst themselves now," Zoro said.
Lambo nodded. "Looks like it. If we're lucky, maybe they'll finish each other off," 'Glad our crew isn't like that...'
"You may have been the strongest in the past, but that was a full three years ago!" Sham shouted at him as he and Buchi extended their claws. "We weren't just sitting on the ship and waiting while you were fooling around in this village!"
"That's right!" Buchi agreed. "We've been sailing around pillaging and fighting tons of other pirate crews! We're much stronger now than we were when you were still around!"
Klahadore stared at them expressionlessly. "...What are you implying?"
"WE'RE SAYING THAT WE CAN KILL YOU!"
"S-Stop, you two!" Jango shouted in panic as the brothers rushed towards Klahadore.
Klahadore just blinked at the two pirates running towards him before reaching into his bag.
"You're not our captain anymore!" Sham shouted as they neared him.
"We don't need a weakling for a captain!" Buchi added.
With that, they finally reached him, bringing their claws down on him and ripping him to shreds.
An empty, torn up bag was all that was left on the ground. But Klahadore was nowhere to be seen. The two looked at it in shock and confusion. Meanwhile, Lambo and Zoro's eyes widened as, in a blur, Klahadore reappeared behind them.
"When did he...?!" Zoro muttered. "And that weapon..."
Ten swords gleamed in the sunlight, attached to each finger of the gloves Klahadore was now wearing. That must be what he had been keeping in that bag of his.
"So... You're going to kill me, are you?"
"Damn!" The cat brothers shouted, quickly turning around for a second attempt. Unfortunately for them, it ended with the same result. The butler disappeared once again.
"He still remembers his Stealth Foot technique, too..." Jango muttered in the distance.
Behind him, still lying on the ground and clutching her wounded shoulder, Nami squinted up at him. 'Stealth Foot?'
