"Rear Admiral Bogart? He's resting up there."
As the young man said this, he suddenly handed the mop to Kuro. "Don't worry about this. We are a harmonious big family. Although you seem to have a high rank, no matter what rank, you have to work. Let's clean up together!"
Kuro's eyes twitched. Even if he doesn't want to be a Vice-Admiral, he is indeed a Vice-Admiral now and he is also the Base Chief. You want him, a Vice-Admiral Substitute Vice-Admiral, to clean up?
It would be fine if he was willing, but the key is that he is so lazy, why would he do such a thing!
And he was ordered by a handyman!
Why? If I don't agree, will your crooked mouth make the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) call you Lord Im?
Or do the three generals call you Tiger Commander?
"Hey!"
Kuro was about to speak when Leda stopped.
"Kid, figure out your identity!"
Leda shouted, "This is Kuro! Lucilu Kuro, codename Golden Lion, Admiral alternate, your base commander, show some respect!"
No one objected to this.
Even the most righteous Kaz looked a little impatient.
Mr. Kuro is the person he respects the most. He will not allow anyone to disrespect Mr. Kuro!
"No, so what?"
The handyman said matter-of-factly, "Chief Base, can you not work? Here, even Major General Bogart has to work?"
No one objected to this.
The Marines who were still cleaning up all took it for granted. The expression on their faces highlighted the equality of all living beings.
This should have been right.
At least in Kuro's values, this is right.
But …
This is not my previous life!
Kuro has long been polluted and decayed by this class distinct, capital erosion and feudal world!
If you play All Lives Equal for him now, he can agree, but this world can't agree.
The base led by Karp, is it like this?
It can't be, can it?
"Enough!"
Kaz suddenly took a step forward, his expression a little sullen as he stared straight at the handyman.
"Mr. Kuro's hand is used to execute justice, not to do chores! If you let Mr. Kuro do chores, who will arrest pirates?! Who will stop evil?! Do you think it's up to you?!"
"Tch, it's not good to arrest pirates. Pirates are also life." The handyman said sincerely: "Everything is life. We should be more peaceful and not be so hostile. Everyone has their own difficulties, and they are definitely not pirates. We have to understand them."
Kuro raised an eyebrow.
These words sounded familiar.
He had heard it in East Blue.
"What are you talking about!"
Kaz widened his eyes and roared, "If the pirates have difficulties, don't the civilians have difficulties?! The justice that the civilians hope for can save them and let them live a stable life! For the safety of the civilians, we stubbornly resist the pirates! Now, you are telling me that the pirates also have difficulties?! Where is your justice!!!"
In the roar, a white gas came out, which made the handyman shudder.
He was stunned for a moment before the mop in his hand fell with a bang. He immediately saluted and his body became straight. "Vice-Admiral Kuro! Welcome… ah no, you are finally here! I am very sorry, I was talking nonsense just now!"
He was close to tears.
He himself came here to seek justice for the Marine.
Even as a handyman first, he was unwilling to give up.
Because his hometown was burned by pirates.
But why? Why would he say that himself?
This is too shameful!
"Yes?"
This appearance made Kuro frown. He ignored the handyman and looked around and found that something was wrong.
The handyman was easy to deal with. He did not carry any weapons.
Those first, second, and third-class soldiers were easy to deal with. After all, they were in the fortress, so it was normal for them to be unarmed.
But starting from the rank of lieutenant, all of them do not carry weapons.
He walked over to a major who was wiping the wall and said, "Where's your weapon?"
"Weapon?"
The major turned around and said, "Weapons and all that. It's too violent. I threw it in the warehouse."
Kuro nodded and said, "So, those Battleships also have this reason, so they are not maintained?"
"Of course I don't want to maintain it. It's a violent weapon and it kills people. It's best not to use it. I may be a Marine, but I want to be a peaceful Marine," the major said matter-of-factly.
"Good ambition."
Kuro swept past him and left a sentence. "Kaz, call all your subordinates over and brainwash these people. No, wake them up."
It was confirmed. This sign was exactly the same as what he saw in East Blue.
The person who used the strange ability has been to G-3!
Kuro's face was dark as he went up to the office on the top floor. Here, there was Bogart's breath.
He pushed open the door and saw the hook-nosed man sitting in a chair, writing something. His left arm was still bandaged.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bogart looked up and froze. "Kuro?"
"Long time no see. Are you hurt?"
He glanced at the bandaged left hand and asked.
Bogart nodded and smiled bitterly. "Yes, my heart softened, so I was injured. It's good that you're here. I'll leave G-3 to you. I'm… ready to quit the Marine."
"Quit Marine?"
Kuro narrowed his eyes. "Why?"
Bogart reached out and looked at his palm and said, "Because my heart has softened… This injury was caused during the pursuit of the pirate. When I was about to kill him, I stopped and was stabbed. From then on, I found that I was no longer suitable to be a Marine."
With that, he turned his head and looked at the knife leaning in the corner as if he was reminiscing. He smiled and said, "I'd better go back to my house and farm. I haven't told Vice-Admiral Garp about this yet. It's just nice, I'll go back to headquarters first and tell Mr. Garp."
The knife had not been touched for a long time and there was some dust on it.
"Can someone like you be affected? It's really strange. It seems that that person's ability is indeed not weak."
Kuro said something that Bogart didn't understand.
Bogart is domineering to a certain extent.
Even if he is ambushed, there is a limit to this ability to affect people.
A strong person like Bogart would only soften his heart and not completely become a vegetarian like Marine.
"What do you mean? What's affected?" Bogart said, not understanding.
"You will know soon, don't be in a hurry to leave, your brain is muddled now, I can't get anything out of you, but since you have been hit, it means that the person is nearby."
Kuro bared his teeth and looked at the horizon from the window. He said ferociously, "Well done! You directly attacked Marine. I don't care if you are bored, but now, I am not comfortable. If you don't let me be comfortable, you won't have a good life!"
He came to G-3 for comfort. With such a big name in G-3, it was not a problem for him to hide inside.
But now, the combat power of this group of people is a problem. They can be bullied by pirates, how can he calm down?!
