Kuro could not hear Sakasugi's words, and he did not want to hear anything now.
Although he comforted Kaz, he came back to his senses and thought that something was wrong.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
The angrier he is, the more powerless he is.
"Damn it!"
When they reached the ship, Kuro directly cursed.
After this incident, he was not even in the mood to ask Tina for a black gun.
After boarding the ship, Kuro locked himself in his office.
"Don't let anyone bother me, I need some time alone!"
With that, he closed the door and left Crowe and Cass outside.
As for Leda, she went in with Kuro just now.
"Kuro, you're still angry."
Leda entered Kuro's office and found a sofa to sit on. She untied her snack bag and took out a bag of potato chips, opening it and eating it.
"You tell me."
Kuro laid on the main seat and said weakly, "I've been promoted… Lida, this time I'm directly promoted to the top. I've played so many games in the past two years and thought of all kinds of tricks, but I still can't avoid them."
He was now deeply suspicious.
After doing so much, it was still useless. He clearly knew that the World Government was holding him down, but he was still promoted.
And he even got promoted!
You said it was f*cking infuriating!
"Didn't you say, the course of history."
Leda said heartlessly, "Now history has reached the process."
"You better be careful!"
Kuro glared at her.
"Dot…"
"No snacks!"
Kuro interrupted Leda in time and snapped, "I already have a fucking headache, don't bother me at this time!"
Leda shrugged and took a bite of potato chips and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean, I don't know!"
Kuro lay down even more and sighed. "Don't ask me such annoying questions. I'm not in a good mood now. If you have nothing to do, go out and eat snacks."
"Oh."
Leda stood up. "Then lie down slowly alone."
"Sigh… Sure enough, no one cares about me." Kuro sighed again.
Leda turned around and said helplessly, "Then tell me."
"What did I say? Didn't I say that I am very powerless? I told you not to bother me!" Kuro glared.
"Oh…"
Leda turned and continued outside, but soon she heard Kuro sigh again.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go, let me bear it here alone…"
A blue vein appeared on Leda's forehead. She turned around and said angrily, "What do you want!"
"I'm fine, I just want to be alone," Kuro said coldly.
"Enough!"
Leda rolled her eyes at him and pushed the door open.
Kuro curled his lips and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down and…
His eyes were empty and his mouth was relaxed, like a salted fish that had lost the hope of life.
"Life is twenty-six years. It is like a dream and an illusion. There is life and death, and there is regret in promotion."
There were still a few haiku lines in his mouth, like a repeater.
"Hold this big Battleship and smile at the Vice-Admiral position, pirates are shit."
… .
Battleship, back to Sabaody Archipelago.
At the same time, Kuro's name has also been covered up by the World Government and replaced by an existence codenamed "Golden Lion" that gradually steps onto the stage.
After having a code name, Marine will downplay the specific name of a person. Although this is not of much use to people who know Kuro, the world is so big that there are only a few people who know him, even with Ledfield's publicity, but after so long, what should be forgotten has been forgotten.
And now, under the cover of the World Government, Kuro's name has been downplayed and Kim Jong-un has been replaced.
From this point of view, it was quite good.
If he's not a Vice Admiral…
Actually, Kuro did not care about being a Vice-Admiral. He did not want to be promoted because he did not want to deal with the New World. After all, it was too dangerous there.
If he could continue to stay in Sabaody or other places, even the first half, he could accept it.
But …
This probability is too low!
If he was just a Vice-Admiral, it would be fine. At most, he would beg Brother Stolobelli to let him guard Marin Vando.
But since they are already a reserve, it is basically impossible for them to be stationed in the first half, so there are only two ways to go.
Or he would go to guard Mariejois.
It was safe. It could even be said to be absolutely safe. Basically, no one would attack that place.
But he was disgusted.
The other way is to go to the New World.
A place like that …
It is filled with a large number of pirate battles in the first half of the game, and it has passed the ghost place at the end of Sabaody Archipelago.
Except for Yonkō (Four Emperors), there are too many dangerous existences.
That kind of place was something that Kuro absolutely did not want to go.
The thought of the New World gave Kuro a headache.
He also began to gradually become irritated, so he simply locked himself in the office and ignored everything.
Who cares? I'm not in the mood to do anything now.
… .
Two months later.
Fragrant waves, clear sky.
13GR.
Knock on Bamboo Bar.
In the bar, an old man sat on the bar with a newspaper in his hand and a glass of wine in front of him.
He flipped through the newspaper and sighed. "There's no business."
"Okay, be content."
A seemingly young woman inside the bar wiped a glass and said, "Ever since that Kim Luong came, Sabaody Archipelago has not been as good as before. There are fewer and fewer pirates who can come in. It's already good enough that I can open it here, and the pirates who come in all have a way to coat their bodies. You are going to lose your job."
"Hahaha, that's really helpless."
The white-haired old man chuckled and flipped through the newspaper. "However, it's good that there are always pirates who can come in. During this time, it seems that many pirates have come in."
"Well…"
Natsuki nodded and looked out of the window in the direction of the Marine Station and said, "I don't know what happened to that man, he hasn't appeared recently."
"Is something brewing?"
The old man turned his head and looked in that direction and said, "But this is also an opportunity."
"Don't interfere."
Natsuki said, "That man warned you."
The old man smiled. "I'm just a plasterer, what can I do? I'm so old that I don't even have the time to meddle in other people's business."
Squeak—
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the tavern was pushed back and a green figure appeared at the door.
"Oh! It's you first!"
The old man's eyes widened and he smiled. "Finally?"
On the feet of the green figure was a pair of leather boots. As he walked, the three water droplet-shaped golden earrings on his left ear tinkled.
He was wearing a green robe with the lapels wide open. There was nothing else inside except a brighter green bellyband. There was a wine-red belt around his waist and three knives hanging beside his waist.
RORONOA Zoro.
Compared to two years ago, there was a scar on his left eye.
"Am I the first?"
Zoro glanced around and asked.
