These words made Kuro fall silent. He raised his head and blew out a mouthful of smoke, looking at the steam-like smoke lingering above.
“Hey, don’t be quiet,” Smoker said.
“What do you want me to say?”
Kuro shrugged. “Putting aside the fact that I don’t know when I will be promoted, I’m not Kuzan. He can do whatever he wants, but I can’t. Why do you have to break into a pirate’s meat grinder like the Country of Peace? Just let them fight each other. Why did you break in?”
Kuro could not understand this matter. With his brain circuit, he must have let the pirates decide the outcome themselves.
What Pirate King? It’s just a title. Bosses are actually easier to deal with than small monsters, especially this sea, which is comparable to the Soul series game.
When the outcome of the second half of the New World is decided and the only winner is raised, wouldn’t it be better to gather troops and deal with him in one fell swoop? If he runs to the meat grinder now and a Marine runs over, he will be easily used as a target.
“I have someone I want to arrest personally.”
Smoker looked solemn. “I have a feeling that if the Country of Peace can’t catch him this time, they won’t have a chance in the future.”
Kuro paused and asked suspiciously, “Straw Hat Kid?”
Smoker nodded.
“Why do you keep thinking about this guy?” Kuro rolled his eyes. “Is he that charming? You have been thinking about this guy since East Blue. There are so many pirates in the world. You can catch anyone.”
“He is different. You know Kuro, you have seen him.” Smoker said in a deep voice: “If that guy is left alone, he will cause more trouble. Although I don’t hate that guy, he is a pirate, I will arrest him!”
“You can forget it. Only you care about that kind of small role. Why, it’s against your temper.”
Kuro sighed. “A person like Straw Hat is not presentable. Instead of saying that it’s a pattern, it’s more like a willful character. He keeps saying that if he wants to be Pirate King, he can be Pirate King in Shanghai? If he becomes Pirate King, he will be worthless. If you have the time, why don’t you think about it and be stronger. Smoker, I’m not saying that you…”
“You were almost killed by Doflamingo last time, right? You are a Logia, so you should improve yourself more. After Kuzan left, you are the only one in the younger generation of your faction. You have to work hard and know shame. All you think about is catching this and catching that. If you can’t do it well, you should do less porcelain work. If this continues, Kirby will surpass you.”
“Hey, I didn’t ask you to scold me!” Smoker’s blue veins on his forehead were exposed. “Besides, how can that guy Kirby surpass me! I am not weak!”
“Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say. If you want to go to the Country of Peace, we’ll talk about it later. The current situation is not something that you can solve alone. The current situation on the pirate side is like a landmine. Once you touch it, it will explode. If you send people over, it will be easy for all the pirates to misunderstand. When you say that you want to catch Straw Hat, will anyone believe you? You represent Marine,” Kuro said directly.
There was no need for him to hide his relationship with Smoker. It was better for him to be direct.
“You don’t agree?” Smoker asked.
“I am not a general yet. What do I agree with? Let’s discuss it again.” Kuro waved his hand.
“Humph, you have become timid after rising to a high position.” Smoker clicked his tongue and left from Kuro’s room without staying.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? What do you mean by timid? Let me tell you, I have never been afraid of anyone since I debuted. Don’t slander me.”
Kuro did not even stand up. He just said something to Smoker’s back and watched him leave. After he left completely, Kuro shrugged and leaned against the sofa, biting his cigar and lost in thought.
Not long after Smoker left, Crowe walked in and said, “Mr. Kuro, the venue has been rearranged. Shouldn’t we be prepared?”
“Well, it’s another dinner. Really, why did you say seven days? Seven days is so long.” Kuro continued to sigh.
“Mr. Kuro, why don’t you take a break? If it’s not someone important, I’ll…”
“Why are you here!”
Kuro glared at him. “What you said is like a spit and a nail. Besides, what is important? The entire Marine should be important people. Even if you are tired, you have to endure it. They gave you face, so you have to give them face. Do you think it’s all because of that idiot Smoker? He’s so straightforward that even the higher-ups are annoyed with him. Hey, look for me to go to the Country of Peace. Doesn’t he know how he came to be the G-5 Base Commander? If it weren’t for Kuzan transferring him to the Gavirgo, he wouldn’t have had a chance.”
“Vice Admiral Smoker?”
Crowe adjusted his glasses. “Did something happen?”
“Hey, he asked him to transfer him to the Country of Peace.”
Kuro smiled and said, “Running to that place, he must want to die. This guy is a despised existence because his temper is too hot. Among his peers, only Tina is willing to help him and clean up his mess. If it weren’t for Tina’s existence as a staff officer, Smoker would probably still be in East Blue.”
“G-5 is like that. It’s rare for him to open his mouth for Kuzan. Although Kuzan transferred him over, he was only a Vice-Admiral at that time, not a Base Captain. It was Vergo who had an accident that gave him a chance. But those above who are unhappy with him have always been staring at him. If he is transferred to the Country of Peace now, he will be sent to exile. No one will care if he lives or dies, they will only fight for his G-5 position. Don’t think that everyone in the Marine is a good person. Yes, they are all good in the camp, and their colleagues are also good, but if there is really a chance, anyone will fight for it. Otherwise, why are there factions?”
This sea is like this. Kuro is very clear about the cruelty of it. No party is as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Therefore, from the past, all he thought about was to be a local tyrant, but it did not mean that he did not understand the essence of things.
“Just like the old man…”
Kuro muttered to himself and immediately smiled bitterly. He stood up and said, “The old man is liberated. Forget it, it’s been more than ten years. He’s a 60-year-old old man. Why are you dragging him? He retired without even mentioning retirement to me. It’s obvious that he’s determined. He’s tired, so let me do it. As a young man, he should have this self-awareness.”
“Mr. Kuro?” Crowe’s eyes widened.
Is this… awakening?!
“Chloe.”
With a smile on his face, Kuro patted Koro’s shoulder. “You have to work harder in the future.”
Work hard. You have too many things to do in the future. I don’t want to deal with those things every day.
Crowe straightened his body and said seriously, “It’s not hard to work for you!”
Is he no longer hiding it?! No, he hasn’t said it clearly, but these words also mean that when he does things in the future, he can be more brazen!
He, Crowe, knows, knows everything…
