Since Moe Island has been taken over by Tina, there is no point in Kuro staying here. The Grand Fleet is gone anyway, and Tina's strength is enough to defend Moe Island.
But before leaving, he still had some things to do.
"Tina."
"Yes?"
"I want to…"
"What are you thinking?"
"I want you…"
Tina was stunned. Looking at Kuro's serious expression, she hesitated for a while and gritted her teeth. "Tina won't be able to stand it."
"Just satisfy me, please." Kuro put his hands together.
"Tina will be very tired."
"But I really need it. Without you, I really can't stand it."
"Well, since you begged Tina, Tina will satisfy you."
… .
Therefore, she built the Black Gun for two days and sent it to Kuro.
This thing is actually very useful.
Unlike last time when he was sneaking around, now that Kuro's fruit has been exposed, he doesn't care anymore. He blatantly used his ability to send a large number of black guns into the sky.
After doing all this, he said goodbye to Tina and sailed to the headquarters with Kizaru and his subordinates.
In the office of the Battleship.
"Oh, it's so scary. Monchi D. Luffy, ringing the bell in Marin Van Do, accompanied by Rayleigh, that old guy, can't help but come out?"
Kizaru leaned back in his chair and cut his nails while looking at a newspaper on the table. "What are they doing in Marien Vando at this time, provocation? Kuro, what do you think they are going to do?"
Beside him, Kuro reclined on the sofa and shrugged noncommittally.
"Our main force is not here, but it's not bad when it comes to choosing."
Akainu ran to encircle the remaining pirates, Aokiji went to deal with the aftermath, and the old man… was slacking here like him. The Three Generals were not here, and the rest of the main force went to the stabilization world. Straw Hat chose a good time.
"3D has been crossed out and there is an additional 2Y… Day and Year. Cancel it in three days and it will become two years later and we will meet somewhere."
Kuro glanced at the newspaper. "That's probably what it means."
"Oh, they feel that their strength is insufficient and want to lie low for a while. What a good idea," Kizaru said in surprise. "Where do you think they will be?"
"How would I know? Besides, with that Hades accompanying me, what can I do even if I know? Now is not the time."
Apart from the straw hat, he remembered that he was on Nine Snakes Island, but he had forgotten the rest.
And this kind of thing is nothing compared to the pirates that are getting more and more rampant. Marine's energy can't be wasted in such a place, not to mention that troublesome guy Rayleigh is here.
This kind of thing, just be surprised, no one would care.
At least the people of Kizaru's faction don't care much.
"I say, old man, you lost your qualification as a Marshal. Do you really not feel any pity?"
Kuro asked Kizaru.
He could not figure out where this old thing got so many nails to cut.
"It's really surprising that you would ask me such a question."
Kizaru opened his eyes slightly and thought for a moment and said, "Well, maybe it will be a pity, but I don't want to compete with Sakasugi. He is full of confidence. Sengoku-san didn't recommend him, but the government seems to have this idea."
Akainu was naturally full of confidence. His performance in this war was the most outstanding, so he was naturally qualified in this aspect.
"Grandpa, I heard that the relationship between Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu is not very good." Kuro narrowed his eyes and probed.
"It's just a difference of opinion. In Marine's position, it's still the same."
Kizaru paused for a moment and smiled. "Well, if Sakasugi takes over, that kid Kuzan may not agree so easily. The internal struggle of the Marine is so terrible."
That would not be easy.
What Kuro knew was that in a year, the two of them would have a big fight.
The winner takes the throne and the loser leaves.
It was a big shuffle.
After this reshuffle, Kuzan will leave. Although Kuro doesn't like this very much, he still likes the world to maintain the status quo. Only by maintaining the status quo will he feel safe. The wind and clouds are not ordinary annoying.
But he could not control the thoughts of the strong.
"Actually, I don't like to fight, but if I take the throne… Kuro, what do you think?"
Kizaru suddenly asked Kuro.
"You will take the position?"
Kuro sat up and lit a cigar. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled. "If you want to do it, I'll be busy."
If the old man really wants to ascend the throne, Kuro will definitely help. For this, he will need status.
At that time, he would go to the New World no matter what.
Kizaru chuckled and said, "Oh, as expected of a subordinate that I think highly of. Unfortunately, I have been disqualified."
"You don't have such thoughts. That position is not easy to do." Kuro exhaled the smoke and said.
"That's right, if I become a Marshal, it will be very troublesome, and…" Kizaru shrugged, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
He didn't need to say the rest. Kuro understood.
If the old man becomes a Marshal, Aokiji will not run away, but there will also be a problem. Marine forces will become obedient.
Aokiji was originally a lazy person, and Akainu might not listen to Kizaru. If the three generals acted independently, it would not be easy for Marine.
Although Kuro likes the atmosphere of clocking in to work, Marines can be relaxed within the scope of this rule, so there is no need to destroy the enthusiasm of those radicals.
You destroy your pirates and I will live a stable life. If you need to fight together, that is enough.
"Can I go back to East Blue this time?" Kuro asked.
"Why do you want to go to East Blue so much, Kuro?"
Of course, it was to escape from the dangerous Grand Line and go back to his hometown to have fun.
However, he could not say this.
"Grandpa, the pirates in the Four Seas are very rampant now, and the military power of the Headquarters is not enough. As a Marine, my position is also suitable. Isn't it just right to go to the Four Seas to station and contain the pirates?"
Kuro said seriously, "East Blue used to have a Pirate King, and now there is a pirate named Straw Hat. Look, the pirates in East Blue have caused a lot of incidents. As a Marine, I am also very familiar with my hometown. Isn't it good to go back?"
Well, that was it.
He is definitely not weak because of the pirates in East Blue. It is harder to get promoted than in Grand Line.
"Well, I will report to Sengoku-san," Kizaru said.
"Then it's settled. Grandpa, you continue to cut your nails and I will go out to fish."
Kuro stood up with the cigar in his mouth and walked out.
Snap.
Kizaru finished cutting the last nail and put the nail clipper down. He picked up the newspaper again and read it again. After a long time, he made a sound.
"It's so scary…"
