The night, the flames, the smiling woman in the flames, and the people around her who looked like demons.
This was the only knot in Moore's heart after so many years.
He was a man of the Kingdom of Tada and he used to be a loyal Knight of the Church until he met Lisara.
That year, the entire country fell seriously ill. It was this woman who concocted the medicine and saved the entire country, but it was also that year that Lisara died there.
From that day on, Moore despaired of the Kingdom of Tada and the world.
Gradually, he became this lazy look until he met Zalia and gave him the power of 'laziness', which made him re-summon his wish to save the world. But when he went to the Kingdom of Tada, he found that not only was the country gone, but even the land was gone.
After learning the truth from the old man who guarded the books, Moore remembered Kuro.
In the office.
Moore was talking, surrounded by a group of generals.
Leda sat on the sofa and concentrated on eating snacks. She destroyed bag after bag, but he didn't know if she was listening.
Ian sat next to her, unwrapping her snack bag.
Crowe stood next to Kuro with his hands behind his back, his glasses glowing. No one knew what he was thinking.
Kaz and Wilbur stood on either side of the door like two door gods, their backs straight.
Donald leaned against the wall, wiping the cross-barrel.
Bintz sat cross-legged in the corner, meditating.
Basil looked around as if he was looking at the office.
Tomoe is looking at the recipe, only Fanny has a complicated look in her eyes.
Listening to Moore's story, Kuro put his chin on the back of his hand and put on a 'Commander' pose, carefully looking at Moore.
This person's curly hair is quite long, all the way to his shoulders. His face is handsome but he looks a little lazy, and his clothes are loose, he looks more like a tramp.
It did not matter to Kuro whether Moore entered the Marine or not.
It was not that he did not have such a complex composition.
Crowe is a former pirate captain and Basil is a former trainee pirate.
Donald is an ex-Ranger, a Ranger of Kano Country. He is a combination of a bodyguard, a swordsman, a bandit, and a gangster. He is not a good person in his profession.
There is nothing wrong with adding an unemployed person who failed to save the world.
"What do you think?" Kuro looked at the others.
"This kind of thing is up to you." Leda stuffed snacks into her mouth and said perfunctorily.
The others had similar expressions.
Only Kaz and Wilbur were thinking seriously. Kaz said, "We certainly welcome any existence that wants to uphold justice, Mr. Moore. Let's fight for justice together!"
"Ah… Marine, you don't have to be so polite." Moore smiled and said, "I just want to find a place to work."
Crowe pushed up his glasses. "Work? If it's just work, you don't have to choose Marine. You can do it elsewhere. With your strength, you can do anything."
As the think tank in Mr. Kuro's team, he has to control every risk. It's rare for Mr. Kuro to give them a multiple-choice question, so they have to perform well.
Otherwise, there would be no chance to perform.
Mr. Kuro rarely gives them any choice.
"It's not like that…"
Moore lowered his head and looked a little shy. "I don't know why, but what I do doesn't last long. When I was at sea, I was a merchant ship guard. Then the merchant ship caught fire and all the goods were gone."
"He was also the guard of a rich family, but after a few days, the rich family was stolen and it seems that they stole his illegal evidence. In the end, he went bankrupt and I lost my job."
"I was a Pirate Hunter, but I didn't catch a single pirate. Strange, there are so many pirates in the sea."
"I stumbled for a while and didn't succeed in anything. Then I met the Holy Lady and was persuaded to join. Actually, I just wanted to find another job. Marine is so big, I can't do it for long."
After hearing what Moore said, the corners of Basil's mouth twitched.
This is not a matter of long-term or not. This is a matter of you being very unlucky.
"I have some opinions."
At this time, Wilbur said, "Mr. Kuro, I think it needs to be considered again. With this person's own resume, it is very likely that some unexpected situations will appear, such as being demoted, which is a bad thing."
"Eh? Is it related to me? Why would he be demoted if I was here?" Moore was shocked.
This is a good thing!
Kuro opened his eyes and immediately made the decision.
"Alright, you can join the Marine. You are so unlucky… No, our Marine will help you when you are in trouble. From now on, you will be my G-3 member. Well… you can start from the beginning with the military title and so on, but you can be my messenger."
Unlucky might not be that mysterious, but it doesn't hurt to believe it. What if? What if he is really unlucky enough to demote me?
"Oh! I have something to do." Moore said excitedly, "The salary is negotiable. Let me tell you, although I took the initiative to apply, you can't underestimate me. The salary still has to be paid on time."
"There is no unpaid salary in Marine at the moment. Okay, that's it, dismissed."
Kuro waved his hand. "Go out."
Marine has never been in arrears of wages or paid less. After all, the World Government is rich.
The people in the office left one by one. Moore looked around and found Basil.
"Hey, little brother, I'm sorry about before. We have to fight because of our position. Uncle didn't mean it that way." Moore smiled.
Basil glanced at him and snorted. "You'd better stay away from me. I don't want to get close to such an unlucky person. It will infect me."
He still remembered how this person beat him mercilessly.
The others were basically not beaten up, only him.
"Eh? I'm not unlucky. How can I be unlucky?"
"Can so many things happen to you if you're not unlucky?" Basil squinted at him.
"No."
Moore recalled the situation that day and vowed, "The fire on the merchant ship had nothing to do with me. I was just hungry at night and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. When I opened fire, I didn't pay attention and the fire started. The fire may have its own thoughts and it was unwilling to only cook, so it burned other things."
It's you!
The reason for the fire is you!
The corners of Basil's eyes twitched.
"Being a guard for a rich person, I don't know. I'm just sleeping there. How would I know that there would be a thief? In this world, if you don't do anything serious, why would you steal?" Moore sighed.
You are a guard, why are you sleeping!
It is your duty as a guard to look at thieves!
The corners of Basil's eyes twitched.
"Also, it's the same for bounty hunters. I've been floating in the sea for so long and haven't found a single pirate…"
Moore rubbed his chin. "There are some warm and hospitable people who keep pulling me on board, saying that they want to take me to find some One Piece…"
In his mind, a ship with a skeleton flag and a group of fierce-looking people were drinking and chatting with him.
"But the strange thing is that their canvas is painted with a white head. Is it their idol? It looks like a skeleton. It's probably malnourished," Moore said strangely.
"That's it!"
Basil couldn't help but roar, "This is a pirate!"
"Eh? Pirates? No, they are quite hospitable." Moore was stunned for a moment. "They invited me to dinner and drinks."
Are you fucking kidding me!
Blue veins appeared on Basil's forehead as he glared at Moore.
Was this guy being sarcastic or simply unable to tell?
