One Piece: Who Is Captain Kuro & What Happened to Him?

The characters we’ve seen in Oda’s One Piece are truly amazing. They are diverse, intriguing, and – in most cases – loved by fans. On top of that, they are – generally – very well-written characters whose stories are always fun to explore. And that is what we are going to do in this article. The focus of this article will be a character named Captain Kuro, a secondary character that initially appeared as an enemy of the Straw Hats during the Syrup Village Arc. In this article, you will find out who Captain Kuro was and what happened to him in the world of One Piece.

Kuro of a Hundred Plans is famous and feared East Blue pirate captain who serves as the main antagonist in the Syrup Village Arc. Although he is the leader of the Black Cat Pirates, he abandons them for three years and goes to Syrup Village, where he spends three years in that place working as Kaya’s butler, although, in reality, it was all part of a plan for him to finally live in peace. Unfortunately for him, Luffy and his crew thwarted his plan in the end.

The rest of this article will be about Captain Kuro, his backstory, and his role in the world of Oda’s One Piece series. We will introduce you to his history and current story, how it developed, and tell you where Captain Kuro is now and what he is doing in the current narrative of the manga. This article will contain some spoilers, so if you’re not fully up-to-date with everything, you have been warned.

Captain Kuro was a ruthless captain, although he never was anything more than a secondary villain

Kuro was a well-known pirate captain in the East Blue with a bounty of 16,000,000 Berrys. Because his plans never failed, he was nicknamed “Kuro of a Hundred Plans.” However, fed up with the Marines chasing him and always preparing plans for his crew (who, according to him, only knew how to destroy), he decided to end it and did so by dying legally.

Five years before the current story, Kuro spoke with his second in command, Jango, that it was time for him to stop being the pirate captain of the Black Cat, this after being chased by the marines for the third time in the week since he became a very infamous pirate.

Jango told him that the Marines would not stop looking for him until he died. Kuro then promoted him to the new captain. One night, a group from the navy decided to attack them. When the attack began, Kuro asked his crew to take a boat and lead him off the ship, and they did; he went to the Marine ship and killed all the Marines except Morgan.

Jango ordered the others to board the navy ship, then told Nugire Yainu goodbye. Morgan refused to die at Kuro’s hands, but Kuro told him that this time he would be the one to capture Captain Kuro.

Jango hypnotized Nugire into believing it was Kuro himself and also hypnotized Morgan into believing he had caught the real Kuro, who would later be promoted. With this done, Kuro launched a plan with which he would get a quiet life; he went to Syrup Village and was welcomed into Kaya’s mansion as a butler, where he nicknamed himself “Klahadore” and spent three years in it to gain everyone’s trust.

As Klahadore, he finally came to Kaya’s parents’ estate, had them pep him up, and, out of gratitude, hired him as a house servant. He has been held in high esteem in the Syrup Village ever since. He is otherwise not noticed until three years after his fake death.

He implements his plan by using his old gang to kill Kaya and the villagers; after Kaya receives a correspondence, he draws up a will that would establish him as the sole heir. However, his plan is blown when Luffy, Zoro, and Nami come to the island and stop his gang on the island’s north coast and defeat him and Jango.

During the battle, Kuro reveals that he had been planning to kill the family for three years. Luffy points out that they are a bad crew, so he claims that his subordinates are just hopeless outcasts who can’t go on without a leader, so they follow orders without a word. He goes on to argue that the crew members are pawns of the captain, who decides whether to kill them or not.

He declares that they face difficulties as he has decided, and they can even die following orders because that is the way of the pirate, so a kid like him just has to keep quiet.

Luffy then replies that although he is a captain with many followers, he will never be able to win against Usopp. Having confirmed that the opponent considers him inferior to the sniper, he bursts out laughing, arguing that he shouldn’t go crazy just because he broke half of his weapon and uses his speed to reach behind him, but at that point, Luffy tells him that he doesn’t he has a temper and that he knows nothing about real pirates, and then punches him in the head, which throws him against the rock face.

Kuro gets up, claiming that he has offended him and that if he thinks he knows the real pirates, he will show him how cruel they are, especially those who have crossed the line between life and death several times.

He then strikes all of his subordinates. Luffy yells at him about how he could do it, and he hurts him, but the opponent manages to grab him by his jacket and throw him down on the ground. Kuro gets up and curses him, telling the enemy that if he had stood still, he would have sliced him, blaming him for his subordinates dying and being unable to die. Luffy then tells him that he will never become a pirate like him, to which Kuro agrees as he will die there.

At that point, he prepares to use his speed to use the same attack as before, but the enemy blocks him using his limbs. He curses him and asks him to leave him, but Luffy claims his plan failed and then headbutts him. Kuro argues that his plan can not fail for any reason at all as the enemy extends his neck back, then throws another head butt that knocks him out. Subsequently, the boy throws Kuro’s body to his crew, who he orders to leave the island and never return; the pirates thus flee with their captain.
