After failing to persuade Kuro, Crowe retreated with confusion. He sat on the deck, his figure a little pale.
The nearby Marines did not dare to disturb him, but they would hear him muttering when they passed by.
"Not strong enough… small target…"
He seemed to be a little confused by Lieutenant Colonel Kuro's words.
"Why can't I catch anything…"
Kuro held the fishing rod and thought to himself, "A Sea King is also fine."
"The ship is moving. How can there be any fish?" Leda said with disdain.
"Can you wipe the saliva from your mouth before you speak? Also, you can't eat the bait, Leda!"
Kuro glanced at her speechlessly.
"I didn't!"
Leda quickly wiped away her saliva as if her little secret had been discovered and said seriously, "I just saw that the bait is quite bright. I'm just looking, I haven't eaten it yet."
What's the difference between that and eating…
"Didn't you just eat?"
Kuro held his forehead helplessly. "And your little snacks. If you really can't do it, go and ask the chef to make some more for you. I specially chose this chef from the Headquarters canteen. Is it not to your taste?"
"No, I just want to taste the bait. I have never eaten it…" Leda said honestly.
"Where did you come from? Are you hungry? Go away, don't bother here. You can eat anything you want." Kuro rolled his eyes.
"Oh…"
Leda hung her head and backed away.
"Wait, give me back the knife."
Leda subconsciously hugged Autumn Water tightly, and then she saw Kuro looking puzzled.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Well, Kuro, don't you want to cultivate your body? If you keep using the knife, you will become dependent. How about this, I will help you keep the knife. Anyway, your ability is on the knife and you can summon it at any time."
"Huh? You want to be the one who plays the flute under me? No, the one who holds the sword? Forget it. Anyway, the cultivation of the body has to be put on the agenda. You can hold it."
Before going up, he was focused on developing his abilities, but now, he felt that he had to develop his body.
Especially after facing Kaido.
The shock that Kaido gave him was very strong. His body is definitely not comparable to Kaido's body, but it may be possible for him to be domineering.
In any case, no matter how hard it is, it can't compare to the high-level discharge posture, which is the highest level of Haki.
He was very envious of Kaido's Saiyan-like posture.
If he had that domineering aura, not many people would be able to move him.
Just then, the line of the fishing rod moved.
"Oh?"
Kuro suddenly raised his fishing rod, and with a splash on the surface of the sea, a big fish emitting a sparkling light jumped out of the water.
"What a big sailfish, I've decided to eat it raw for afternoon tea!" Kuro threw the sailfish on the deck and looked at the constantly bouncing sailfish with a smile.
Swish!
At this moment, a cannonball flew over from the distance and landed on the sailfish that Kuro had caught.
Boom!
The sailfish burst into flames and smashed a big pit on the deck, along with the bait barrel on the side, which was blown to pieces.
Kuro looked at the unknown object that was charred black. The corners of his eyes moved.
"Which bastard is it!"
"Sir, it's a pirate ship!"
A Marine's head popped out of the observation deck above the mast and shouted.
"Do I need you to remind me? Other than Pirate Ship, which idiot would dare to fire a cannonball? I want to see which bastard blew up my hard work for a few hours!"
Kuro gritted his teeth and reached out. "Give me the telescope!"
The captain quickly brought over a pair of binoculars and handed them to Kuro. He looked over and saw that the black dot that appeared ahead was enlarged. It was indeed a ship.
But it was a little weird.
The pirate pattern drawn on the huge canvas is crooked and full of a kind of post-modern romantic liberalism. One can vaguely see that the pattern is a skull with ears and a red nose.
Probably… a Pirate Ship.
Kuro had a strange expression on his face. To be honest, that painting made him feel a little suffocated. What kind of person can draw such a painting? Don't you have any idea?
"Let me see, let me see."
Leda jumped beside Kuro and reached for the binoculars in his hand.
Kuro handed the binoculars to Leda. Leda looked through the binoculars and nodded. "Nice drawing."
Are your aesthetics the same as those who draw?!
Kuro pulled the corners of his mouth and said fiercely, "Put the ship over and sink it!"
… .
"Boss Foxy, Boss Foxy!"
On the Pirate Ship, a young man rushed over excitedly and said, "I just fired a cannonball, it was so exciting!"
On the high platform of the deck, a man with erect hair that began to split from the top sat there comfortably. Beside him, a female pirate with dark green hair was massaging him.
"Yes?"
Fokke's closed eyes opened and he glanced at the boy and said encouragingly, "Well done, Kuro, this is the first step of your life as a pirate. Go for it, I think highly of you!"
"Yes, Boss Foxy!"
The young man clenched his fists and said with admiration, "I will definitely become someone like Boss Foxy!"
"Yes!" Foksey nodded heavily. "I believe you can. Just walk on with the spirit of worship!"
This young man named Kuro had only recently boarded the ship. Foxy had agreed to take him in because he did not despise the pirate pattern on the canvas at all. This moved Foksey greatly.
"That straw hat…"
The thought of the smiling man in the straw hat made Foxy grit her teeth.
Ever since he failed on Long Ring Long Island and was replaced by Straw Hat, all his peers laughed at his current flag. That humiliation made Foxy hate Straw Hat.
"However, even so, I will not change it. Failure is failure. I, Foxy, am a man who dares to admit defeat. The next time we meet, I will definitely take back the flag!"
Foxy touched her hair and said very handsomely.
"Boss Foxy!"
"Boss Foxy, good job!"
"Hooray!"
The pirates on the ship shouted.
"You're annoying, Boss, don't move." The dark green-haired woman pouted.
"Pu pu pu pu…"
At this moment, an ape-like person covered his mouth and walked over and said, "Boss, Kuro's cannonball seems to have hit a ship."
"It's just a ship, we are pirates." Foxy's index finger and pinky finger bent up and she said indifferently.
"But boss, that's a Battleship." Burger covered his mouth and laughed again: "Pu pu pu pu."
"Battleship?!" Foxy was shocked.
The scene was a little awkward.
"Yes, is it a Battleship? Then I am really powerful." The pirate named Kuro scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"What are you so proud of!!"
All the pirates roared at him.
"Calm down, it's just a Battleship."
Foksey waved his hand and stood up laughing. "Hey, little ones, pirates are best at running away. Turn the course and let's run!"
"But Boss, that Battleship is almost here."
Hamburg pointed back and saw a huge Battleship rushing over at full speed.
