Port Grande, Iceland.
The weather in the New World is more variable than that in Paradise. If the weather in Paradise can be felt after entering a certain sea area, then in the New World, you may not even feel it after entering the sea area. Only when you are close to the island can you know the specific weather changes.
As for the sea, the weather may be more violent.
"Hiss, it's a little cold."
As the Golden Lion entered the sea, on the deck, Leda wrapped her arms around herself and trembled.
In front of the Golden Lion, a huge ice island came into view.
On the Ice Island, mixed with snow and wind, the whistling sound fell into a palm with a hexagonal snowflake ice crystal.
"Wear more."
Kuro looked at the melted snowflakes in his palm and waved his hand. A Dougreg Marine walked over.
"Go, get a few thick cloaks. This lousy place is indeed a little cold."
Soon, the Marine took the thick cloak and put it on the shoulders of Kuro and others.
The Golden Lion was also docked at the port of Port Grande.
This island, as a town, only has this port city, so it is named after Port Grande, not the island.
There are other villages on the island, but the meeting point is in this city.
It belongs to the Marine jurisdiction, but according to the intelligence obtained by Crowe, this place is actually not easy to manage.
Because here, the people are tough.
It is said that as early as a hundred years ago, this is the famous 'Pirate Production' of New World.
Because the way this island survives is to 'plunder'.
The way to choose a leader is to fight.
Whoever wins is the boss.
As for wisdom …
High Wisdom can be a prophet, but he can never be a leader.
It was easy for Kuro to think of the Viking barbarians in his previous life.
They are the bravest pirates. Even after Marine is under their jurisdiction, there are still many pirates on the island.
But on the contrary, Fortress G-3 also has many brave and fierce Marines.
Especially in the past few decades, after Garp entered G-3, this direction of advancement has intensified.
This was part of the reason why Kuro decided to bring Kaz over.
A very good source of soldiers. It would be a pity to destroy it so rashly.
It was better to use a more tactful method.
At the side of the ship, a flight of stairs was lowered and a group of Marines appeared in the port. A Marine Brigade of 3,000 people was mobilized this time and soon occupied the port.
Port, no one …
It was cold and empty.
Kuro glanced around. This place is actually not much different from G-3. It is also a ship that has not been used for a long time, with a fishing net and a harpoon.
It has been a while since anyone used this place.
And …
Kuro looked at the town in front of him and frowned.
"Let's go."
Kuro took the lead and entered the town.
Of course, there are shops in the town. Kuro can faintly smell a fishy smell, but this smell is too faint.
The empty stalls on both sides of the street should have been selling fish in the sea before, but now there is no blood at all, only a little fishy smell lingering.
In addition, there were only some berries and wild vegetables on a few stalls.
In the square in front of them, a group of people were gathered. They were kneeling on the ground with their hands on their thighs, forming a circle with their eyes closed and their heads hanging down.
He did not know what they were doing.
Most of these people were not well-dressed. Of course, they were not poor.
Instead, it is the customs of Port Grande. They are naturally resistant to the cold and are a race of "warriors". They are famous for their bravery. The way to resist the cold is to hunt an animal personally and use it as a cloak or a scarf. Then, women will wear very thin cloth clothes. As for men, they basically don't wear half of their bodies or only wear a belt to carry weapons.
This degree of cold tolerance is comparable to that of the children of the Greater Japan Post Office in his previous life.
Hearing the footsteps of the crowd, some of these people who were kneeling opened their eyes and looked over. Then, they continued to close their eyes as if nothing had happened.
Kuro led his people to these people. After stopping, he glanced at them and found some people in Marine uniforms, but they were also kneeling with their eyes closed.
"Hey, get up."
Kuro walked over and kicked a caped Marine in the lead.
"Shh."
The voice of the Marine said, "Don't interrupt my repentance and atonement."
"Atonement? For what sin?" Kuro asked with narrowed eyes.
"Killing creatures for my own lack of desire, slaughtering lives for my own narrow position, I am repenting for my sins." The Marine said lightly without opening his eyes.
In response, Kuro said nothing and waved. "Kaz."
"Yes!"
Kaz stepped forward and stood at attention. "Mr. Kuro!"
"You solve it."
As expected, everyone here has been 'assimilated', including his colleagues.
Hearing this, Kaz nodded and first walked to the Marine and said solemnly, "Why do you think this is a crime?"
"Because killing is a sin. No one has the right to take the lives of others, no matter what position he stands in." The Marine still closed his eyes and said lightly: "Holy Lady is right, we are born guilty, so we need to repent. Only in this way can we find true peace."
Repentance, atonement, and the Virgin…
Got it.
Kuro smacked his lips and said, "The energy is getting more and more pure…"
From peace, to ease, and now confession, and so on…
This is the third jump of the ability, which means that the user of this ability must be more and more familiar with the ability.
However, he had never heard of such a person.
"Stupid!!"
Just as Kuro was thinking this, Kaz suddenly shouted. The voice had an inexplicable sense of justice that made the Marine open his eyes.
Some of the people near him opened their eyes and stared quietly at Kaz.
"Peace is not something that can be obtained by repentance!"
Kaz shouted: "What we need to repent is why we can't protect civilians more promptly! What we need to repent is why we can't become stronger, why we can't fight better with pirates! Every death of a colleague, every death of a civilian, and every time we see a village destroyed is worthy of our repentance! Marine's duty is to fight pirates and protect civilians! You can't protect anything by repentance like this. It will only make evil that doesn't want to repent more and more rampant!"
He stood in front of the 3,000 Gregg Marine Brigade and aimed at the people who were in a circle. Kaz glared at them, and white gas surrounded them and mixed with the 3,000 people, forming a thick white fog that spread around.
"Wake up!!"
