Chapter 207
With the evacuation of the Akagami (Red Hair) and Whitebeard Pirates, Shichibukai also disappeared automatically, leaving only the Marines to start treating the injured Marines and take in their dead colleagues.
No one was unharmed.
In such a high-intensity battle, there is no Marine that is not injured.
From the Second Lieutenant to the Marshal, everyone was injured.
Kuro was sitting on a big rock, biting a cigar and watching Marines come and go while Leda bandaged him.
“I already said that there’s no need to bandage it. It was almost cured just now,” Kuro said to Lida helplessly.
“No!”
After Leda finished bandaging Kuro’s head, she put her hands on her waist and said loudly, “In case there is any injury that we haven’t found yet, we have to bandage it first!”
At the side, Crowe pushed up his glasses and wanted to say that if it was an injury that could not be discovered, just bandaging it would be useless.
But he looked at Leda’s fierce look and thought about it but didn’t dare to say it.
“Hey, give me one.”
Suddenly, a voice came from the front.
Kuro glanced at it and threw a cigar over. Smoker took it and lit it. He sat next to Kuro and blew a smoke ring.
“The war is over…”
Smoker looked at the sky and said, “But the follow-up doesn’t seem to be so easy to end. The words that Whitebeard shouted before he died were broadcast live.”
“Yeah…”
Kuro’s hand was straightened by Leda. He watched her carefully bandage him and shook his head helplessly. “There will be a lot of work next, but fortunately, there are not many Marine casualties.”
Smoker blew out another mouthful of smoke and was lost in thought for a while before muttering, “That man died just like that…”
Kuro knew he was talking about Straw Hat.
After suffering so many injuries, even though he was protected by Jippin, he was still punched through the chest by Akainu, and then he was chased by Aokiji and the old man. It was impossible for him to survive.
In Smoker’s eyes, the straw hat was already dead.
“The man who is going to be the Pirate King of Shanghai…” Smoker bit his cigar hard, his expression was a little complicated.
Pirates deserved to die, but it was undeniable that the man was different from the pirate in his memory. If he died like this, Smoker did not know how to face it.
It was quite sad.
“This kind of thing…”
Kuro picked his nose and flicked his finger, and a small piece of filth flew out. He said indifferently, “A person’s fate depends on his own struggle and the course of history. I don’t think he will die so easily. Maybe he will be alive and kicking again after a while.”
“However, it’s not that easy to be the King of Pirates in Shanghai. He has to cross over first and not be caught by the police.” Kuro smiled maliciously.
Smoker gave Kuro a strange look and shook his head. “You did it again.”
In addition to being lazy, this person often says things that people don’t understand. Although they don’t understand the meaning, the ridicule in his tone can be heard. It is his unique cold joke that people don’t understand.
“What did you say?!”
While Kuro and Smoker were chatting, a loud shout suddenly came from the battlefield not far away.
Kuro’s ears twitched and he looked over and saw Sengoku shouting at a Marine.
“How can this be? What is the World Government thinking? This is the second time!” Sengoku’s veins were exposed and his face was full of anger.
The Marine could only swallow his saliva and say carefully, “If we don’t hide it, the government feels that it will affect their reputation, so…”
“Shut up!”
Sengoku glared at him and sat alone on a big rock, his face uncertain.
Kuro retracted his gaze and looked at Smoker. He saw that Smoker was also sweating and looked incredulous.
“The World Government actually wants to hide this kind of thing?” Smoker’s eyes widened. Sengoku was not far from them and they could hear the sound.
The Marine was talking about Impel Down. Magellan was seriously injured but not dead, but the prisoners on the sixth floor had escaped more than the few Blackbeard had taken with him. There was obviously one less batch, and a few prisoners who shuddered at the thought had disappeared.
Some of these people have obviously been erased by the World Government, and those who have been erased are some ferocious existences. Now, if the World Government chooses to hide it for the sake of their reputation, it is obvious that many people will pay the price for it.
Kuro exhaled the smoke and spat. “It’s also a magical operation that I can’t understand.”
If they don’t announce it to the world at this time and don’t design a bounty order for it, do they want that group of pirates to start as newbies?
It was not only those arrogant pirates who were injured, but also civilians and Marines.
“Done!”
Leda patted the bandage on Kuro and nodded in satisfaction. “This will do.”
“Really…”
Kuro stood up and looked at his mummy-like body. He twisted his arm and strode out.
“Where are you going?” Leda asked.
“Go home and sleep.”
Thanks to him, his home had not been destroyed yet. At this time, what else could he do if he did not go home and sleep?
… .
Although the war is over, no one is not busy.
“Maximose, okay, I understand.”
In Kizaru’s office, almost half of the high-rise building had collapsed. Kuro could see the messy Marin Van Do without opening the door.
After a simple refurbishment of the Marine, those who are not injured or slightly injured can be dispatched to the Grand Line or support the Four Seas at this moment.
Because of the influence of Whitebeard’s words before his death, it led to the Great Age of Pirates that Roger had started but was constantly weakening, and there was a trend of returning to the peak.
Treasure hunters, robbers, those who want to seek power and influence, or those who really want to be Pirate King, all went to sea, causing Marine to be under a lot of pressure. Even if Marine suffered little casualties this time, the degree of trouble did not change.
Marine Headquarters was very empty at this time.
Sengoku and Garp went to Mariejois. Akainu was injured, but in order to expand the battle, he went to chase the Whitebeard Pirates yesterday. Aokiji personally went to Impel Down to solve the trouble because Magellan was seriously injured. The Vice-Admiral each led a team to deal with the pirates who began to surge around the world, and the old man…
“Kuro, do you want to go to Mariejois with me? Those tenryubito are a little afraid because of the chaos in the world and want me to go for a while.”
Kuro rolled his eyes. “Are you kidding me, old man?”
“You’re right.”
Kizaru scratched his head and said with a smile, “Then, go and patrol. Marine is very busy now. I have assigned all the personnel for you. Take your subordinates and patrol the Grand Line.”
Wait for me here?
