BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1025 - Chapter 1025: Kuro, Go
In the Marshal’s office, Kuro walked straight in through the entrance of the big door and saw Sakasugi sitting at the table. “You wanted to see me?”
Sakasugi was biting his cigar. When he saw Kuro coming in, he raised his head and looked very arrogant.
If Kuro didn’t know that this guy’s expression had always been like this, he would have turned around and left directly because he looked like he was going to be scolded.
“Kuro, you’re here.”
He nodded and flicked a document forward. Kuro reached out and the document floated up and landed in his hand.
“What is this? Red hair? Tiki?”
Kuro saw the name on the document and frowned.
The contents of the document seemed to be that Red Hair had moved out and caused a scene in Tiki’s territory, and that place was called “Astya”.
And the documents show that two of these three countries are originally under the flag of Tiki, and now because of Akagami (Red Hair), one country is gradually falling, but the other country does not want to be involved in the war between the two Yonkō (Four Emperors), so it secretly communicates with the World Government and wants to become a member country.”
“So…”
Kuro took the opportunity to sit on the seat at the side and lit a cigar. He looked at the document carefully and exhaled the smoke. His face became serious. “We are going to war with Akagami (Red Hair)?”
“No…”
Sakasugi said in a deep voice: “The higher-ups don’t want it to become an all-out war. We want to contact the country that wants to become a member country, and Red Hair pirates fight, let them fight by themselves.”
Kuro frowned and pondered.
It was fine as long as they didn’t fight. After all, this should be Marine taking the initiative to break into the Yonkō (Four Emperors) forces. It could be a big movement in all directions. If they really fought, it would be Marine versus Pirate. It is unknown if Tich will join forces with Akagami (Red Hair). Kaido and Lingling are now in the country of peace and there are other pirates on the sea. Once Marine is fully deployed, they will not just watch.
But if we don’t go all out, we have to pick a few powerful ones… Wait, pick the powerful ones?
He had just had a bad feeling when Sakasugi said, “Kuro, go there.”
“Huh?”
Kuro looked up at Sakasugi in surprise. “Me?”
“Yes, I’m talking about you.”
Sakasugi said in a deep voice, “Marines are not suitable for full deployment in this matter. Go there and see the situation. Meet with the king of that country and take a look at the intelligence on Akagami (Red Hair). It is best to capture him.”
‘No, what do you mean?’
You think too highly of me, don’t you?
I’m going to catch Yonkō (Four Emperors)? Why don’t I go and hit Mary Joa?!
“No, about this matter, Admiral Kizaru…”
“Polusalino has other things to do now, you can go there.” The Sakasugi did not say much and did not talk nonsense with Kuro, directly interrupting Kuro.
Kuro pulled the corners of his mouth and also knew that he could not bargain with Sakasugi. There was no use for this person to bargain.
Looking at Sakasugi’s serious expression, Kuro sighed helplessly. “Okay, I’ll go.”
They were just going to pick up a country, not really fighting Akagami (Red Hair). Tiki was holding it in somewhere and there was a high chance that he would not show up.
“Well, now you are the only one in Headquarters who is qualified to do it.” Sakasugi nodded.
Kuro pulled the corners of his mouth and walked out without saying anything.
Watching Kuro go out, he exhaled and muttered with an inexplicable expression, “This is the limit of what I can do.”
There is indeed nothing that can be done to make Kuro move. Otherwise, he would not have been idle for so long, especially since Polusalino did not retire. If he wants Kuro to get higher qualifications and credit, he will have to find trouble. If the position of Admiral is vacant, it will not be so troublesome.
Polusalino is now reducing his influence, and he must find a way to increase Kuro’s influence so that he can take over the throne. After all, it has been half a year since he made up his mind to abdicate.
The power of “Sword” and the power of Shichibukai are all on Kuro. Half a year of precipitation, coupled with the deliberate playback of Polusalino, has reached the extreme. It’s just one step away, plus this operation…
Sakasugi picked up Den Den Mushi, dialed the number, and said, “Prepare a ship for me to go to Mariejois!”
… .
“I knew it!”
After coming out of Sakasugi, Kuro couldn’t help but say something.
Sakasugi did not look for him for anything good, but Kuro found that he was not too surprised about this.
He is a Vice-Admiral and a Great General Substitute. In this position, there is no escape.
Anyone else would go. Even if he didn’t go, someone had to go.
In a situation where it is possible to deal with Akagami (Red Hair), Fujitora and Green Bull have a mission, and if the old man does not go, there is basically no one else.
“Sigh, after a few months of peace, I still encountered such a thing…”
Kuro shook his head in frustration. Fortunately, Sakasugi did not say that he had to fight Akagami (Red Hair). His goal was just to protect the country that wanted to join the World Government and let it not be destroyed.
After entering his office, Kuro sat down and smoked his cigar for a while before saying to Crowe, “Tell me about the specific environment of Astya. If you don’t listen to the Emperor, then how is the current situation.”
“Yes, Mr. Kuro.”
Crowe nodded and said, “Asteria was originally a unified kingdom, but more than ten years ago, the original prince who inherited the throne died of illness, and the old king only had one son. The news of the prince’s death made the old king sad and he also passed away. The royal family lost an heir, and the Astya nobles were not convinced by each other. In the end, they divided into three noble camps and divided Astya into three countries, which are the ‘Sypher Dukedom’, ‘Felton Dukedom’, and ‘Phaia Dukedom’. The Seychelles dukedom is in the northwest, the Felton dukedom is in the northeast, and the Faa dukedom occupies the entire south of Astya.”
“Originally, these three countries were all Whitebeard’s sphere of influence. After Whitebeard’s death, Blackbeard usurped this place, but the Duchy of Faya took the opportunity to become independent and did not put on the flag of Blackbeard, but Blackbeard did not seem to care and did not pursue it.”
Hearing this, Kuro nodded. The country on the document that wanted to contact them was the Duchy of Faa.
“That red-haired bastard came to Astya and occupied the Duchy of Felton, and now the Duchy of Faya came here to help. Crowe, prepare the ship, let’s go.” Kuro said.
“Red hair?”
Crowe was stunned and said solemnly, “Are we going to war with Red Hair?”
“What’s the point of fighting? Does he have nothing better to do than to fight me? Didn’t he go to find that idiot Tiki?!”
Kuro rolled his eyes. “We’re just going to take a look. Red Hair is aiming at the Duchy of Felton. We’re going to contact the Duchy of Faya, not the other way around. With that guy’s habits, he shouldn’t take the initiative to invade a neutral country.”
