Yay! I've finally done a Kuro story. I wuv Kuro, and I have no idea why. but I don't love him more than Zoro. He he he. Okay, well read and review please!

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. I just wish I was in it. XD

Kuro

He is frightening. Slim lines of steel, flashing in front of his face while twin moons of light are all that you see before death strikes you. Instantly. And he knows he can do it. He knows what he is capable of, and he intends to use his skills.

But, you might never know that he is evil. That he is deadly. Or even that he is a pirate, for so well dressed is he. And so polite, and willing to do what you ask of him. He is well groomed, and he seems to be rich for clothes he wears will always have some sort of gold embroidered upon them.

But the plain fact of the matter is, he is a pirate. And he would kill you without a thought. But you would never know he was there, until the last second. A whisper of air, the chink of steel so quick and quiet that you think it is merely someone walking by. This, is Kuro.

Eyes slitted like a cat's, teeth bared and a half shadow across his face as he stands before you. Danger. Beware. Death be coming to you soon dear friend. He will not stop. He has no reason to stop.

…And that is it. You are gone. Slashes running down your body while he stands above you, smoothing two strands of hair back into the perfectly gelled style. He has accomplished his mission. Has reached his goal. And now, it is time for him to take over. Because that's what he intended to do from the beginning.
