"Kaz!"
In the office, Kuro roared at Den Den Mushi, "Why haven't you come back? What are you doing outside!"
After waiting for a few days and not receiving any news from Kaz, Kuro finally couldn't help but call.
Because his eyelids were twitching today, he felt especially bad. He was afraid that the hot-blooded idiot would cause trouble outside, so he called.
Den Den Mushi made some shouting and fighting sounds.
The Den Den Mushi, who already has the characteristics of a bearded man, roared a few words with the sound of a blade cutting into flesh before replying, "Colonel Kuro, we are cleaning up the pirates who broke into our territory. Please rest assured that we will ensure the safety of Pegasus Island and the vicinity of the Pegasus Kingdom!"
What could Kuro say?
He could say nothing.
You can't say that you can't kill people like this.
He could not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates. They are contributing to peace, which is different from him, a salted fish.
"Well, continue."
Kuro pursed his lips, pressed the receiver shut, and hung up.
Kaz's feeling suddenly made him feel that the front is tight and the back is tight.
"Kuro, Kaz is a little slow in dealing with pirates, do you want me to go?" Leda took out a potato chip from the bag and said while chewing.
"Let Crowe go there."
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "I'm relieved that he's here. He can also watch that idiot Kaz and not let him do anything unnecessary."
If he hadn't suddenly become a Brigadier General, causing the sense of crisis to rise, he would have made a trip himself and quickly sank those pirates into the sea so that there wouldn't be so much trouble.
But this could be done in front of Chloë, in front of Leda, but not in front of Cass.
That hot-blooded idiot will report it.
"Get Crowe back. This guy has been addicted to dealing with residents recently and doesn't train much. If Kaz is not here, he is now the Marine Station's instructor. Don't neglect your duty every day," Kuro said to Leda.
You don't seem to have the right to talk about others.
Leda rolled her eyes.
As the saying goes, the boss will have the same kind of subordinates. After staying with Kuro for a long time, it is already good enough that he is not a salted fish. Kaz is completely different.
"Okay, I'll go."
Leda was about to move when the door was knocked and Crowe walked straight in.
"Chloe, you came at the right time. Go to that…"
Kuro saw him and was about to say something when he was suddenly stunned because there were two people behind Crowe.
"Sister Stork!"
When Leda saw one of them, she stood up excitedly and ran over to hug the stork. "You're finally here. Have you thought it through? Are you coming to join the Marine! I've been waiting for your cooking!"
"Ah… Miss Lida, long time no see." Stork smiled and touched Lida's head.
Lida did not have any objection to this. First of all, she admired the woman. Second, this woman cooked very well.
"This person, eh, he looks familiar." Leda rubbed against the body of the stork for a while before letting go and looking at another middle-aged man carrying a gun.
"Long time no see." Donald also said, "I'm Donald, my surname is…"
"Stop! I know who you are!"
Leda's white hair moved and she reached out and stopped Donald from talking.
The strange man who wanted to avenge his master on Moe Island.
"Oh… it's you, what are you doing here?"
Kuro also recognized the newcomer. This guy seemed to have made him use a 'Strength Blade'. He had a little impression of the first person to use a new move, and this man's weapon is quite novel. He uses a cross-shaped gun and his marksmanship is not bad.
"Lord Kuro."
Donald took a step forward, took a deep breath, put down the cross-shaped gun, knelt down on his knees, and knelt down in the posture of a 'dirt seat'. He said loudly, "Please allow me to learn with you!"
"Huh?"
Kuro was stunned. "Learn from me?"
"Yes!"
Donald raised his head and said in an unusually serious tone, "I can still feel that huge momentum when I think about that knife. I want to know that move. I want to learn that move. This is my desire as a martial artist. For this, I can do anything! Please allow me to join the Marine and follow you. I don't ask you to teach me, just let me watch you!"
The longing look in his eyes shocked Kuro.
He had seen strong people, and he had also seen people who yearned for power, but this was the first time he had seen such a pure gaze of a martial artist.
That desire… He actually understood it a little.
Kuro craves strength, and strength represents safety.
When he first transmigrated, he also wanted to crazily increase his strength. At that time, his state was actually similar to what Donald's gaze revealed now.
After all, this world was extremely dangerous to him at that time.
There was no other way except to temper himself crazily. It was not until later, when he felt that he could not make any more progress, that he gradually stopped that crazy state.
In addition, there was indeed nothing in East Blue that could threaten him. Gradually, it became indifferent. Although he did not stop cultivating, he did not pursue that state.
When one reaches their level, what they lack is not constant cultivation.
For Kuro, at least.
There is a gap between him and the top combat power. There is no doubt about it. Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru, Kaido, and Lingling, these people are the first echelon of the world today.
Be it talent or experience, they are all top-notch. After all, among them, one of them is at the peak of Haki, Body Art, Ability, and Sword Art.
Kuro knew that there was still a gap between him and them. Although the gap was not big, for an expert, this gap might be the trace of a flaw after a few days of battle, which led to the advantage and the disadvantage.
"Lord Kuro!"
Seeing that Kuro was silent, Donald said heavily, "Please agree to my request and let me join the Marine!"
These words made Kuro come back to his senses. He glanced at Donald and said, "If you want to join the Marine, you can join anywhere as long as you pass the review. I don't have the right to stop others from joining the Marine. If you want to come, go and sign up."
Donald's strength is not bad. If he is used as a Marine, he can also make up for Kuro's low- and mid-level combat power.
He couldn't let Kaz stay outside forever. He had to find someone with similar combat power to lead the team. Originally, he had his eye on Basil, but that guy wasn't completely stable. If Donald came, he could make up for this.
If the two of them cooperated, Kaz could be left on Pegasus Island and not let out.
This person solved his troubles for the past few days.
