Kuro chuckles darkly. "That's right. Three years ago, I planned to erase Captain Kuro and every last person who ever knew him. It's all part of my plan."
"You guys are dumb." Luffy comments. "You're the most uncool pirates I know."
"That's putting it lightly." I add. "They're an utter disgrace to all pirates who sail the seas."
"We're 'uncool', huh? An 'utter disgrace', you say?" Kuro repeats, pushing up his glasses. "Pirates are nothing more than savages, incapable of rising above their animal nature."
"I can think of a handful of pirate crews that could prove you wrong." I voice.
Kuro merely scoffs at my comment. "Without my plans, what could they possibly accomplish? A crew is nothing to me; They are simply a means to an end." He looks down to his crew. "Crew members are just pawns in the captain's game. Whether my men live or die is up to me and me alone. If I tell them to fight, they will fight. And if I order them to die, they had better do it. They know the punishment for disobedience."
Luffy and I merely stare with disagreement at the poor excuse for a pirate, and even worse excuse for a man, with no regard for human life. Our stares are intimidating to him as we see him flinch, but he starts to become annoyed as we continue to stare.
"This is how pirates are!" He bellows. "Don't you dare talk down to me!" Kuro was snarling like a dog, funny and ironic as it is, at this point.
"You know, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of men follow you as their captain . . ." Luffy begins.
" . . .You will never be as great of a pirate as Usopp." I finish.
