After paying his respects, Kuro returned with his men and went straight to Base 153.
This place naturally cannot accommodate 3,000 people.
The plow simply let go of the outside and let the fortress and the town become the home ground of the welcome banquet. The 3,000 Dougreg Marine Brigade, part of it entered the fortress and part of it began the banquet in the open-air square and street of the town.
Kuro and the others naturally entered the home ground of the fortress.
At the long table, Kuro sat in the main seat, his subordinates lined up in turn, and Lippa sat at the end. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's begin."
Soon, Marines came up with food and put it on the table.
Well, first put a bowl of salad on each of them…
Kuro looked at the salad in front of him and moved his chopsticks. "It's not bad to eat vegetarian food first. It's good for the stomach."
No one objected to this.
It's not like they don't eat vegetables.
After the salad, the Marines served several plates of cucumber.
"Well… cucumber, light, you can eat some appetizers first." Kuro picked up his chopsticks.
Marine brought food again, which was also a few plates of green vegetables.
Then, green vegetables …
Green vegetables …
Green …
Green …
"You think I'm a Tauren, Lippa!"
The blue veins on Kuro's forehead were exposed. He lifted the food on the table and roared at him, "Or do you want me to be a Kappa?! Where's the meat! The meat! If you don't eat it, you can't make me not eat it!"
"Vice Admiral Kuro."
There was no anger on Lippa's face. He continued to smile and said, "You should be patient and taste it carefully. Soon you will feel the gentleness of nature and the gift of the earth. You don't have to kill or plunder. You just need to get the gift of nature and you will be full. This way of life is the kindest."
"What a joke! I am a human, I am an omnivore!"
Kuro pointed at Lippa and said, "You exist here because our ancestors conquered this world step by step. There is no lack of killing and plundering in between. Look at the ugliness of human beings, Lippa. Also, you were not like this before. What is going on!"
"I just think that people should be like this."
Lipa stood up and looked at Kuro without fear. "Kindness, gentleness, accepting the grace of nature, respect for life, no more killing, no more plundering. I finally understand, Kuro, only in this way can we be human."
"And you…"
Lippa pointed at Kuro and said, "Even if you are already a Vice-Admiral and are called 'Golden Lion', you cannot deny that you are a bloody executioner!"
These words silenced the surrounding people.
Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Is this a plow?
This is Marine?
Marines accuse Marine Hands of being bloody?!
"You said it so well!"
Kuro gritted his teeth and said, "Since you used to be my superior, I won't argue with you."
He took a deep breath and glared at Li Pan before turning around and preparing to leave.
This person who used to take care of him has become like this. Then, he is not suitable to stay in the Marine anymore…
"That's not true!"
Just as Kuro was about to go back and write a small note to snitch, Kaz's voice suddenly sounded.
He stood up and pointed at Lippa and said righteously, "It's not like that! Everything Mr. Kuro does is for justice!!"
"What justice! Isn't it just killing people? True justice will not wantonly deprive people of their lives!" Lippa shouted.
"No!"
Kaz stood in front of Lippa and stared at him with his big solemn eyes. "Justice must have sacrifices! There are too many pirates on the sea. Those pirates, those evil ones, make the civilians unable to live a stable life. Every day, they are afraid of being killed by pirates, afraid of being plundered by pirates. The results of hard work are not as good as a pirate coming ashore."
"If Marine doesn't kill them, then they will never be able to contain such a situation. Some pirates can't be caught because it is harder to catch them than to kill them. Our energy is limited. The sea is too big and Marine is too small. Between civilians and our own choice, of course we choose civilians!"
Kaz shouted: "Who likes to kill? No one likes to kill! But to protect civilians, to exercise justice! We hang our souls under justice and let justice judge what we do! Look, the peace in Sheltz today is the result of the long-term justice of our Marine! You can't even deal with pirates, how can you do justice, how can you live up to the cloak behind you, and the civilians behind the cloak who trust you and support you!"
As he spoke, a white gas rose from his body and rushed towards Lippa.
Like a gust of wind, Lippa's cloak and hat were blown away and the hat fell to the ground, revealing his hair.
His eyes widened and he suddenly bent his back and covered his head with his hands. "I, I…"
In the white gas, Lippa's eyes showed a little strangeness.
Those eyes were filled with gentleness, but they were also abnormally numb.
It was as if everything was gone except for gentleness.
But at this moment, there was a little more complexity in his numb eyes, about human nature.
"Colonel Lippa! You are a righteous Marine! Not a vegetarian Buddha!!" Kaz added, and white gas emerged from his body again and hit another wave of Lippa.
Lippa's eyes gradually became clear.
He knelt on the ground and panted heavily, cold sweat flowing down his face. "I, what happened to me…"
"Yes?"
Kuro turned around and raised his eyebrows. "What happened? Lippa?"
Even a fool could tell that something was different.
This guy… doesn't seem right.
"Kuro!"
Li Pa stood up as if he had seen Kuro again and said in surprise, "So it's Kuro!"
"Don't think that this matter is over just because you just saw me. You just called me an executioner, I hold a grudge."
That being said, Kuro sat back in his chair. "What's the situation?"
"I don't know…"
Lippa shook his head and stood there for a while before saying:
"A year ago, after I heard the news, there seemed to be pirates around. I brought people to take a look, and then I met a man in a black robe. After meeting him, I felt that life should be kind and not kill…"
With that, he slammed his fist on the ground. "Damn it, why would I think that? I am Marine, of course I am kind, but to pirates, I should not be like this!"
"Ability?"
Kuro narrowed his eyes. "You met a metahuman?"
There is no one else who can change a person's temperament except the metahuman.
As for curses, legends, and whatnot, he did not believe a single word.
However, the ability to make people become vegetarian and chant Buddha is a little strange, like Old Lady Crane's 'Wash-Wash Fruit'.
