In the small restaurant in Shields Town, Kuro let the other Marines move around freely. He brought Leda and Crowe and sat opposite Kaz.
"Ah, Kuro, you haven't been here for a long time. I heard that you went to Headquarters. Is there anything new on the Grand Line?"
The owner of the tavern, Lilia, asked with a smile.
By the way, her sister's name is Rika, the little girl who delivered food to Zoro when he was caught.
Kuro's house is in the town of Shelz. He is a native of East Blue, so of course he is familiar with the people in the town.
"What's so good about Grand Line? It's worse than East Blue."
Kuro curled his lips. What's so new about the Grand Line? The latest thing about the Grand Line is all kinds of pirates.
Who the hell is willing to run there?
After exchanging pleasantries with Lilixiang, Kuro sat at the table and waited for the dishes to be served.
On the other hand, Leda was staring at Lily Fragrance like a cat, full of vigilance.
"What are you doing? It's impolite to keep staring at me." Kuro touched her head and straightened it.
"Hmph!" Leda snorted, making Kuro a little confused.
"Kuro, how old is this woman?" she suddenly asked.
"How old?"
Kuro subconsciously glanced at Lily's chest and thought about what Leda looked like when she transformed. Then he realized that he was not talking about that.
"Well, she's in her thirties. She was a girl when I was little." Kuro thought for a while and answered.
In this world, adolescence is long, especially for the strong.
Kizaru is almost 60 years old. Actually, he looks no different from 40 years old.
But once it exceeds 80, it will age rapidly.
Lily was in her thirties, but she looked like a girl in her twenties.
It was really impossible to tell his age just by looking at his appearance.
And Kuro remembered that there was an old witch in the Windmill Village in the original work.
When Luffy was young, she looked like a girl. When Luffy grew up, she still looked like a girl.
Fruit of Youth ability user?
Kuro shook his head and shook off the thought.
"Kaz, I have a suggestion about the way of justice you preach." Kuro looked at Kaz.
Kaz sat up straight like a serious primary school student being spoken to by a teacher. "Mr. Kuro, please speak. Is there anything to add about your will?"
"Only one thing, don't bring my name," Kuro said seriously.
Kaz felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He asked anxiously, "Why? Did I not do enough?"
No, that's great. So good that I'm a little scared.
"I have already gone to Headquarters. I will be annoyed if you promote me so much in East Blue. And I am not 'Tenacious Justice', but 'Safe Justice'. Everything you do is your own credit."
Kuro said earnestly, "Because of your publicity, I was promoted to Second Lieutenant. I really don't deserve this position. So don't bring my name anymore. You did a good job in East Blue. I look forward to your next performance and I am proud to have you as my subordinate."
"Are you proud of me?"
Kaz's originally gloomy expression brightened again. "Mr. Kuro, I understand!"
"What do you understand?"
Kuro felt that it was a little dangerous. He had to ask.
Kaz took a deep breath and said loudly, "I won't preach your will anymore."
"No, no, no. That is your will, not mine. What you have been preaching from the beginning to the end is your will. It has nothing to do with me."
Kuro waved his hand. He had to correct Kaz's idea, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.
"Yes! That's my will!" Kaz said seriously.
"And then?" Kuro continued.
"You should show your ambition on the Grand Line. East Blue has nothing to do with you anymore," Kaz said.
Kuro was happy and patted Kaz's shoulder happily. "That's right, this is the right way. We have a superior and a subordinate. You can't be so bad… No, you can't be affected by me and delay your own future."
Kaz nodded solemnly. "I will complete my justice. Don't worry, Mr. Kuro!"
"Okay, I came here mainly for this. What you did made me unable to sleep for a few days. Now it's solved. Remember, don't say my name."
Kuro laughed happily and called out to Lily, "Lily, have some wine. Cass and I will get drunk today!"
It's done!
It was finally done!
This is the real Cass.
He also promised himself that he would not say his name in East Blue.
Then there is no risk of promotion!
In the tavern, Kuro happily drank a few barrels until late at night before saying goodbye to Kaz.
He walked to the port and shouted happily at the sea, "The sea is as big as a fish!"
"Is there a need to be so happy? It's just East Blue." Leda was puzzled.
"What do you know?"
Kuro grinned and said, "Kill all the danger in the cradle. This is my way of survival! And Kaz is still very reliable. After all, we have worked together for so long. I still know this guy's character and he won't do anything to betray us.
"Besides, how can there be a fool in this world who doesn't want to be famous and always gives his fame to others?"
Hearing this, Leda looked at Kuro expressionlessly.
Crowe adjusted his glasses and was speechless for a moment.
"Why are you looking at me? Let's go to sleep, I'll take you to Barati tomorrow!" Kuro happily patted Lida's little head.
"Balati!"
Leda's eyes lit up. "You said it. Don't lie to me."
"Don't worry, I've always done what I promised you."
… .
Kaz looked up at the moon as he walked.
He could not help but sigh in his heart.
What a good Marine!
For such a small reputation, they actually came to East Blue to look for him in guilt just to explain this matter.
Sure enough, Mr. Kuro has always been noble.
He could not let down Mr. Kuro's good intentions!
"Lieutenant Kuro is right. He is already on the Grand Line. East Blue doesn't need his fame, but the Grand Line does! No matter how hard I try to promote it in East Blue, the effect is limited. Mr. Kuro will not be happy. With his ability, he will definitely make some achievements on the Grand Line. He doesn't need some fame in East Blue."
Kaz looked at the moonlight and murmured, "The more I am in East Blue, the more I discover the limitations of East Blue. So, I don't want to be in East Blue anymore, Mr. Kuro!"
Grand Line!
Only when he reaches the Grand Line can he serve under Mr. Kuro again and add a weak force to Mr. Kuro's justice!
Kaz's eyes seemed to be on fire. Kuro's words had aroused his ambition.
Kuro should be known to the whole world for his nobility and justice!
East Blue is indeed not enough, and the most famous place is naturally Grand Line!
Since Kuro doesn't want East Blue's credit, I will use this credit to go to the headquarters!
"Mr. Kuro, don't worry. When we meet again, I will definitely surprise you!"
Kaz silently swore in his heart. He wanted to say that just now, but Mr. Kuro hated men who talked big, so he had to hide himself until he had enough credit to be promoted to Headquarters for training.
He will even make some achievements in the headquarters. When he enters Mr. Kuro's command, he will definitely be happy.
