Headquarters, Marin Vando.
With the construction, the trauma on the top is gradually fading from this island.
In addition to some places that were too cracked to be repaired for the time being, Marin Van Do and the surrounding towns were basically repaired. The Marine families who had gone to Sabaody Land to take refuge also returned to their original places.
Headquarters, restored to its previous state.
For the residents, it is now peace.
Because the Whitebeard who terrified all civilians and even used to scare children has been defeated by the righteous Marines, the world will definitely get better and better.
But for Basil Kuro, the world now is hell…
Bang!
"Kuro! Stand up. Since your name is Kuro, you should be stronger. Even if you are weak, so weak that even I can't stand it, you are Kuro, you should stand up and continue!"
This is Smoker.
"Oh? Kuro? Is that your name? Tina is very interested. Come, fight with Tina and see your strength."
This is Tina.
"Kuro! Come and train. Today, I, Lord Momomaru, will teach you how to become the strongest man in the world. Come!"
This is Sentomaru.
"Eh? Is his name Kuro? I really want to compete with you, please promise me."
This is Kirby.
"Kuro? Although I don't have any bad feelings towards him, a little soldier in the branch is actually a Colonel. I, Lord Beru Maybo, am so powerful, but I can't get promoted. Hey, Kuro, come and fight! Wait, wait, Kuro, I can't beat you, let's forget it."
This is Beru Merber.
Basil has always thought that he can't beat those famous Marines, at least a colonel or something.
With the help of Nail Fist Technique, he could be said to be at ease in Marine Headquarters training. According to Crowe, he did not take the lead or do the tail, he was stuck in the middle. He could not do this at first, but he did not want to be beaten by Crowe. Under this stimulation, he still did it.
With such training, his control over his power has improved greatly. Although he can't face a strong person like Smogtina and Momomaru, can't he defeat that Kirby?!
In fact, I can't beat him…
Kirby had awakened Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki. At first, he had the upper hand in his attack, but later, he was not Kirby's opponent.
As for Beru Merber …
This was his only consolation. He finally beat someone who was related to Luciru Kuro.
But soon, he entered hell again.
"Oh, you're called Kuro? I'm very interested, let's spar?"
This is Kizaru.
"Kuro? Alala, this name is very interesting. Hey, do you want to have a very cool battle? Don't worry, I will show mercy."
This is Aokiji.
"Kuro? You deserve to be called that? Go practice again."
After beating Kuro up, Akainu looked at him with disdain after he fell to the ground and could not get up.
"Puhahaha, you are so unlucky, Kuro."
As for Garp, he was completely pointing at Basil's nose and laughing, and then he beat him up again.
The new generation of elites, the strong masters of the older generation, during the time that Basil was in the headquarters, he had met and been beaten up.
The injuries on Basil's body had basically recovered, and he was immediately pulled away and re-injured. With such a recovery, there was not a day that he did not hurt.
Although there are gains …
During the beating, he awakened Observation Haki and learned Armament Haki.
But compared to such pain, he would rather not!
Fortunately, such days of hell are about to pass.
"Please let me stay on the Grand Line!"
In Kizaru's office, Basil bowed to Kizaru and said solemnly.
Because he is Kuro's direct subordinate, Kuro's subordinate, and he is talented, Kizaru allowed him to enter his office.
Otherwise, how could a recruit trained in the Headquarters have such qualifications?
"Oh ~ Do you want to stay on the Grand Line?"
Kizaru was cutting his nails. When he heard this, he said in surprise, "Why? You seem to be Kuro's subordinate. Aren't you going back?"
'Go back?'
Should I go back and get beaten up?
Basil curled his lips in his heart. Ever since he found out that Kuro and the others were stationed in the West Blue, he had the idea of not going back.
Direct subordinate? Direct subordinate can be changed.
He couldn't miss this opportunity. If he went back now, he would still be beaten by Crowe.
He was beaten up in the headquarters. No, when he was training, he recognized this reality. This name must have brought him disaster.
But changing the name or something…
A man will never run away!
But it can be compromised.
"Yes, I want to make a contribution and I want to be independent. Staying under Colonel Kuro will only make me relax because Colonel Kuro is too powerful."
Basil spoke in a dignified manner, completely showing the look of a Marine who was eager to take charge and wanted to contribute to justice.
Of course, he also had such thoughts.
He is a Kuro, and I am a Kuro. How can I not have thoughts of surpassing him?
When I become Kuro, I won't have to be afraid of Kuro anymore.
"It's Brigadier."
Kizaru corrected him and said, "Kuro is already a Brigadier General, but he hasn't come to Headquarters to be promoted yet, but if you shout, you have to pay attention to your words."
"Yes!"
"It's not impossible…"
Kizaru chuckled and put down the nail knife. "If you have an idea, I can agree. After all, no one can stop Marines who want to make a contribution."
"Thank you, Admiral Kizaru!" Basil's face showed joy.
Kizaru smiled and said, "But… you said it's too late. Crowe sent a telegram asking when you are going back. He is Kuro's subordinate and your direct superior. If you go back, there is nothing I can do."
"Go… go back?"
Hearing this, Basil's face turned pale.
He can't go back!
If he went back, he would be beaten up!
"Yes, go back. Major Crowe said in the telegram that now is the time to need you. Maybe there is something in West Blue that they also think is tricky and only you can do some missions."
Kizaru nodded and said, "My boy is a little strong, but he is not suitable to do some delicate tasks, so Marine has subordinates. There must be something that only you can do, Basil Kuro."
"I, I can do it too?"
Basil couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then he felt a little touched.
That stern Crowe actually still remembers him. Did he go back not just to be beaten?
So there are things that the powerful Kuro is not good at?
"I understand, Admiral Kizaru, I will go back now!" Basil said seriously: "I will not disappoint Colonel Kuro, no, Brigadier Kuro!"
