"370 million…"
Crowe, who was sitting in the office, suddenly realized: "We only met a pirate with 370 million, the 'Evil Pretender', is he not dead?"
"Evil Pretender? Who?" Leda asked.
"The one that can transform into various animals, a pirate," Crowe said.
Leda thought for a moment. "Ah! You mean the person who turned into all kinds of delicious animals. Strange, wasn't he killed by Kuro?"
"Buck Arlo?"
Kuro remembered that person and his face became uncertain.
"Wait, wait, let me stroke…"
He held his head with both hands. "Didn't I turn that man into ashes? My Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki was on at that time. I only left after I was sure that there was no breath."
It was impossible for the old man to boast. After all, the Marine promotion has to go through the World Government.
In other words, Barker did not die and he inexplicably surrendered. Not only did he surrender, but he also gave up the three of them.
"Mr. Kuro, sometimes abilities can't be judged by common sense. You taught me that," Crowe advised.
"I got promoted, I'm a lieutenant." Leda pointed at herself and smiled.
"Calm down, I want to calm down!"
Kuro slumped in his chair and took out a cigar shakily. After lighting it, he opened the drawer.
"Anyway, let's find a time machine to go back to that day and find that Buck Arlo again."
"What strange thing are you talking about, Kuro."
Leda looked at Kuro like he was an idiot.
"Shut up! Leda, quickly chew the rice and then spit it out to make wine for me!" Kuro raged.
Leda tilted her head, her eyes full of disdain. "Hentai?"
There is no time machine and there is no chewing wine.
Kuro's face turned gray and he stared at the table in silence.
"I also became a second lieutenant…"
Crowe pushed up his glasses and thought, "If I catch more than 300 million pirates, Mr. Kuro will be promoted three times in a row. If I catch another one, Mr. Kuro will be promoted to colonel."
"In this way, his right of action will be greatly increased, and we will also be promoted and have more autonomy. Although this is good now, I think it will be better after there is a higher position. Sure enough, that plan still has to be implemented."
Kuro didn't know what Crowe was thinking, and he didn't care anymore.
Now his mind is full of the recall of Headquarters and promotion to Major, becoming a Major, there must be a part of him in the War Of The Best.
'I'm sure there is.'
His plan was already a mess.
"Kuro, what's wrong?" Leda asked when she saw that Kuro was gray.
"I didn't… change course. Let's go back to headquarters."
Kuro slumped there and immediately felt that the food was tasteless, the cigar was not fragrant, and the wine was not good.
It has become the shape of Top War…
… .
The Battleship changed course and turned from the East China Sea into the Calm Belt and sailed towards Marin Van Do.
The sea in the Calm Belt was naturally calm.
Battleships embedded with Seastone will naturally not be noticed by the Sea Kings in the Calm Belt. Unless they stay in the Calm Belt for a long time, they will be unlucky to encounter the Sea Kings. Otherwise, they will not be encountered.
The Marines on board were very peaceful.
Leda leaned against the deck and ate a snack.
Crowe sat at the bow of the deck, cleaning his weapon, Cat's Claw Ten Blades.
"How long until we arrive, it's so boring…"
Leda finished the last bag of potato chips and threw it into the sea.
"Lieutenant Leda, you can reach Marin Van Do tomorrow."
The officer on board reported.
"I got it."
Leda looked at Kuro's office. "Hey, Crowe, how long do you think Kuro will be in there?"
Crowe maintained his weapon and put it in a small leather case. "Mr. Kuro has his own considerations. Maybe he's thinking about something."
Snore…
As the potato chip packaging fell into the sea, some bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm sea, and a huge shadow gradually appeared under the Battleship.
BOOM!!!
The seawater seemed to explode, and the Seawater Wave General Battleship swung into the distance. A huge Sea King appeared in the sea, and a huge shadow enveloped the small cruise ship.
"Sea… Sea King class!"
Crowe's eyes almost popped out and almost shattered his gold-rimmed glasses.
"It's so big!"
The Marines raised their hands and looked terrified as if they had seen a ghost.
"Anglefish… so big, I don't know if it can be eaten."
Leda glanced at the sea monster and was very calm.
After traveling for so many years, it's not like I haven't seen Sea Kings before.
This one is not big in the Calm Belt.
But it was big enough for other Marines.
The organs hanging from his head were as big as their ship.
This Sea King is like a lantern fish, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, as if it wants to swallow the entire ship.
With such a huge body, this small Battleship seemed unable to fight back.
The Sea Kings of the Calm Belt are not comparable to the sea monsters of the East China Sea and the sea beasts of the Grand Line.
"What a joke!"
Crowe put on his Ten Blades. If he let this anglerfish eat it, then basically no one on the ship can live.
Leda also instantly returned to her maiden form. With a spring of her feet, she used Geppō (Moonwalk) and flashed to the top of the huge anglerfish.
"Essence, Maximum Wheel, Impact!"
She sucked hard, and Armament Haki appeared on her hands, and she suddenly smashed the head of the anglerfish.
Bang!!!
With just one hit, the huge body of the anglerfish was obviously dented, and its two huge eyes rolled and fell on the sea.
Leda stepped on the air a few times and returned to the deck. She said, "A few people come and see if this thing can be eaten."
"Yes, yes…"
The Marines stared blankly at the huge anglerfish on the sea. This kind of Sea King was actually killed by Lieutenant Leda with one blow.
It was too incredible.
Just as they were about to put the grappling hook on the big anglerfish and prepare to cut its flesh with the rope, the anglerfish's eyes suddenly became clear again and the sea shook again. The anglerfish was getting up and biting the Battleship.
"Ahhhh! It's alive!"
The Marines screamed in horror.
At this moment, the door of the office on the deck opened and a figure appeared inside. The figure waved his knife.
Shua!
A golden slash swept across the deck and brushed past the body of the anglerfish.
The huge anglerfish's body stiffened and it was cut in half and fell on the sea. The thick blood turned the surrounding sea into a blood domain.
"It's so noisy."
Kuro walked out with a dark face. "Why is there a Sea King?"
"Hey, Kuro, you're out. Have you thought about it?" Leda asked curiously.
Think well …
Think my ass!
The lower levels would not know about Ace. Only the higher-ups knew now.
Logically speaking, if Kuro was not Kizaru's direct subordinate, he would not know about this.
There is no news of a decisive battle yet, but it's not like Kuro doesn't know that this day is very close.
If he went back now, coupled with his current position, he would definitely participate.
Kuro held Huazhou and walked to the deck, looking at the Sea King that was split in half.
"I gave up thinking."
Isn't it just a war? I'll go back and fly up to see who will hit me.
