Becoming a partner would make him a very reliable person.
Becoming an enemy would make him a very troublesome person.
This was Chrollo's assessment of Luo, established on the premise that he did not want to be enemies with Luo.
First, one must pay attention to the friendship between Luo and Machi's trio, as the subtle hesitation on Nobunaga's face was a sign that needed attention.
Assumption, thinking, imagination.
Beginning, process, result.
Past, present, future.
The Phantom Troupe does not need to worry about others, but if that person is Luo, they should avoid conflicts as much as possible as long as he does not go too far.
However, Luo's actions of injuring Pakunoda and Wugu could not be ignored.
Thinking of it this way...he is truly a big trouble.
Chrollo quickly drew a non-conclusion, looked at Luo, and calmly said, "I'm very curious, what's your reason for standing up for the Ohara Museum?"
Luo glanced at him coldly without speaking.
The sudden appearance of the sixth person, rescuing Pakunoda using the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao, was an unexpected situation for Luo.
Originally, he could have made more preparations, but with Nobunaga present, he couldn't go too far.
Now it seemed that his persuasion was lacking, so...
Vaguely, Luo and Chrollo, based on their respective positions, would both consider the existence of Machi, Nobunaga, and Uvogin. Between them, there seemed to be a thin emotional constraint, standing in front of both sides.
The more one thinks, the more one might lose.
Swish!
Luo suddenly moved towards the standing Wugu.
Almost at the same time, Chrollo's book turned a page, and he also moved.
Both used their emission abilities, resembling teleportation, but their directions were different.
Luo targeted Wugu, while Chrollo targeted Salin.
Noticing Chrollo's move, Luo's eyes turned cold, understanding Chrollo's plan.
Delay!
Previously, having Shalnark inform others was also a delay, wanting to gather everyone quickly and then push him out?
Whatever Chrollo wanted to do, he didn't plan to stop. That question just now was to test the extent of his relationship with the Ohara Museum and then maneuver within it, constantly finding a suitable degree.
Don't cross the line, but don't back down either.
"Luo, don't worry about me."
At this moment, Salin spoke.
Chrollo's eyes flashed with surprise. His move towards Salin was an open play, trying to use her to restrain Luo. From the results, because of her words, it seemed to fail.
The hesitation that surfaced in Luo's heart dissipated, ignoring the threat Chrollo might pose to Salin, he rushed straight to Wugu.
Wugu had just stood up when he saw Luo before him, startled, but his first action was to throw the knife towards Nobunaga.
This reckless move was something he deemed necessary, because Nobunaga without a knife is not the same as Nobunaga with a knife.
However, this move made him extremely vulnerable.
"Pain to the bone."
Suddenly, the nature of the Nen covering Wugu changed.
Earlier, in his fist fight with Luo, although he was suppressed in physical skills, through contact, his Nen should have taken effect. But it appeared his Nen had no effect.
With this doubt unresolved, Luo gained the upper hand again.
In desperation, Wugu had to use Nen again to face Luo's attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They exchanged punches again, fierce winds swirling, fists intertwining.
"Nen failed?"
Wugu was deeply puzzled, soon finding himself at an absolute disadvantage.
Even before being injured, he couldn't beat Luo, let alone after being injured.
He was a Transmuter, able to change the nature of his Nen into three steps: corrosion, rooting, and dissolution. However, the first step's corrosion never occurred.
If it worked, Luo's Nen would be "polluted," each step bringing pain, but Luo seemed unaffected.
"This guy..."
An overwhelming pressure descended.
For the first time, Wugu felt such an unbearable feeling from an enemy.
"No chance of winning."
Gritting his teeth, Wugu decided to retreat, feinting a move to deceive Luo, then quickly retreating.
Did he really deceive him?
Wugu's judgment contained a superficial distance error.
Luo watched Wugu retreat swiftly, and as he extended his hand, True Master suddenly manifested.
Following Wugu's feint, it was merely to facilitate his next move.
"This guy is a Conjurer!"
Wugu's face changed dramatically, seeing Luo swing the knife, completely trapped.
How to respond? Rely on Nen's derived effects? No, my Nen isn't immediate.
In a critical moment, Wugu's mind raced, hearing Luo's murmur.
"First the first one."
Then, Wugu quickly gathered Nen to lessen the damage from Luo's knife.
The blade approached, its cold edge on his skin.
Luo swiftly swung five times.
The first cut, Wugu barely dodged.
The second cut, severed Wugu's left arm.
The third cut, severed Wugu's left leg.
The fourth cut, severed Wugu's right leg.
The fifth cut, severed Wugu's right arm.
Wugu couldn't keep up with Luo's pace, falling behind from the second cut, having his limbs severed efficiently.
He fell heavily, not screaming because there was no pain in his severed limbs, but he was drenched in cold sweat.
After severing Wugu's limbs, Luo held back, not going for his heart.
He, like Chrollo, was avoiding a complete fallout, due to that emotional constraint, maintaining a suitable degree.
Ignoring the limbless Wugu, Luo focused on Salin, who was engaged in close combat with Chrollo. Salin seemed at a disadvantage, but Chrollo also couldn't easily take her down.
"Miscalculated."
Chrollo frowned, not expecting Wugu to be defeated so quickly. In terms of speed, he was left behind by Luo.
Decisively, he retreated, coming to the side of Nobunaga, who had retrieved his long knife.
Seeing this, Salin relaxed slightly, moving towards Luo.
Initially thinking Chrollo would be hard to deal with, the fight brought significant pressure.
"You've got what you wanted, so stop here. Otherwise, I can only increase my persuasion."
Luo looked at Chrollo standing beside Nobunaga, slightly swinging his arm, True Master's blade tip pointing at the restless Wugu's face.
Wugu quickly realized the physical connection of his severed limbs, having an idea, but Luo's pointed blade killed that thought.
Chrollo sighed, "What we want isn't completely taken, so you want us to stop?"
At these words.
Luo immediately realized something, looking towards the museum.
