Battleship, office.
Looking at Den Den Mushi who had fallen into a deep sleep, Kuro put down the microphone and muttered, "Martial arts conference?"
"There is this tradition."
Crowe thought for a moment and said, "Every three years, the town of Shedding will send out an invitation to invite all the Body Art experts in the world to participate in this grand occasion. The winner will receive a generous monetary reward from the Luo family and will have the power to let the Luo family do things for free."
Kuro raised his eyebrows. "Is this Martial Arts Conference you mentioned very famous?"
"This is not a matter of fame, Mr. Kuro. The Luo Family is a top mercenary family in West Blue. Money and rewards are not important. The real reward is to get them to do something. If they do it well, they may be able to subvert a country."
"So, he didn't give me face? And I have to fight for it myself?" Kuro asked.
"In theory, Mr. Kuro." Crowe pushed up his glasses.
"What's that saying again, Kuro, you often say that the Ent, Mr. Swift, said that life is not good, so don't be afraid when you encounter difficulties. As long as you pretend that it doesn't exist, it can't threaten you." Leda finished a banana and added.
Kuro was speechless.
'Did I ever say that to you?'
No, what Tree-Man Xun said has nothing to do with him.
"What are you learning? Don't learn good things!"
Kuro glared at her and said, "Be serious, Lida. This is to solve your future troubles. Can't you use your cerebellum that is full of food to think!"
Leda shrugged and turned to Chloë. "Chloë."
Crowe pursed his lips and said, "The Martial Arts Conference is a grand event that is only limited to physical experts. You can't use swords in the competition, and ability users can only use physical attacks. Why don't you give up swords to participate?"
"What are you talking about?"
Kuro rolled his eyes and said righteously, "I will not give up Autumn Water! And this kind of conference is not suitable for me."
If he was really that influential, it would be a grand event. If he won, he would become famous. Now, he wished that the whole world would forget him.
"Besides, why should I follow his rules?"
Kuro said boldly, "If he doesn't untie Leda, I will make them have nowhere to stand!"
"But Mr. Kuro, if we do this, we will be complained…" Crowe said, "Marshal Sengoku said last time that you should not cause trouble. If you are complained again this time, Mr. Kuro, you will be demoted."
"Yes?"
Kuro was stunned and quickly hit his left palm with his right fist. "Yes!"
'Yeah!'
You can do that!
He could cause trouble and let the World Government push him down.
The World Government remembered him about Moe Island, so he was sent to West Blue instead of serving in Headquarters.
Although the higher-ups know that it's a pity, the World Government doesn't.
In their eyes, Marine should be a promotion that everyone wants.
They would not expect that someone had always wanted to be demoted.
After the top, Kuro had been thinking of ways to reduce his presence and position.
In the past, Kuro wanted to be steady and constantly stable. He wanted to do things quietly and develop in peace so that others would not notice him.
But after the war, he had to admit that he had already entered the sight of some people. It was obviously not valid to keep a low profile.
At this rate, he thought that no matter how low-key he was in West Blue, he would not be able to stay for many years.
Now that Mr. Sengoku has begun to gradually turn a blind eye to the Marine's system, he will not keep an eye on anyone's credit.
However, once Akainu takes over, with his level of radicalization, perhaps he can catch any pirate and the credit will be on him.
Although he would carefully avoid it, how could he not be wet after walking by the river?
There are always accidents. One layer is not enough insurance.
Now Crowe's words made him push open the door to a new world.
He can cause trouble!
"You analyze it for me."
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "If I give the World Government a headache, will I not be promoted? At that time, even if I am lucky, I mean lucky, I am forced to make a contribution. The World Government will not let me be promoted because of those complaints, right?"
"Mr. Kuro, it's not good to have the World Government looking at you…" Crowe suggested.
"No, no, no. Look at Smoker. He doesn't listen to orders and does what he wants. He gives the World Government a headache, so he's been in East Blue for several years. If he can do it, so can I."
Kuro became excited. "Smoker is Aokiji's good friend, that is Aokiji's faction, Zephyr's disciple, the organization has a deep relationship and his temper is so bad that many people don't like him. He is still a Marine and will not move."
"Look at me, I'm a subordinate of the old man, Kizaru, I'm now also a disciple of Zephyr. And I'm different from him, I have a good relationship with the people in the Marine, I haven't offended anyone, right?"
"…"
'You were close in the Navy?'
Where did you get the illusion?
Do you know that half of the young elites in the sea, including me, want to hit you!
Crowe lowered his head and resisted the urge to complain.
He couldn't say, or he might not be able to walk out of the office standing.
Seeing that Crowe did not speak, Kuro became even more excited. "Smoker is so unlucky and he is fine. How can I be fine? Hasn't he complained enough about the World Government?"
Causing trouble will give the World Government a headache, but it will not exceed the tolerance of the World Government.
In addition, he had always adhered to the principle of being careful and not contributing.
If it was Kuro, he would not be able to sleep if he did not kill or remove this person.
"Huh? Why does it feel familiar?"
Kuro frowned. He felt like he had this feeling before.
… .
"Achoo!"
Pegasus Town.
Kaz sneezed, rubbed his nose, and looked strangely at the sky.
The weather is clear and there is no rain. Besides, he is rarely sick.
"Continue training, we were defeated by one person, this is a shame, we have to remember it forever and turn it into power. Next time, we must not lose so easily!" Kaz shouted at the Marines in front of him.
"Yes! Captain Kaz!"
The Marines also roared and then trained harder.
… .
"It's decided."
Kuro said seriously: "That Martial Arts Conference, there will definitely be pirates, gangsters, criminals of the underground world, and so on participating. As a Marine, I can't ignore the sins. Even if the Zerg Nation, as a member of the World Government, strongly protests, I have to exercise my duty as a Marine to cause trouble… No, to chase away those sinful people!"
Run away, not catch.
Crowe keenly noticed the difference in Kuro's eyes. He pushed up his glasses and used the reflection on the lenses to cover the disdain in his eyes, afraid of being discovered.
Are you doing that for Marine duty?
Bah, you're just greedy for complaints!
"Yes, I understand. I will go and give the order."
