In the crowd, Kaz saw Wilbur looking at Kuro's back and seemed to remember something. He lowered his head and wrote something in a small book.
"What are you writing down?"
"Mr. Kuro's words."
Wilbur's face was serious as he wrote and said: "I think every word of Mr. Kuro is worth considering, it contains the breath of justice, but some words are limited to our understanding of justice and we can't understand it yet, but it doesn't stop me from remembering it first and understanding it later."
As he spoke, he touched a paragraph he wrote with the tip of his pen.
"For example, Mr. Kuro said that the king can demote him."
"From these words, Mr. Kuro is completely unafraid of demotion and exile for justice and the sacrifice of his colleagues."
"Even if you are demoted, you can't stop Mr. Kuro's justice!"
As he spoke, Wilbur was so touched that he almost cried. "It's just for those Marines who have sacrificed themselves. I can't believe they can go to this extent!"
Marines on the sea have sacrifices all the time. For them, it is a common occurrence.
It is said that Vice-Admiral Onigumo even uses Marines to establish his authority from time to time. He is a guy who does not care about the lives of his subordinates.
But Mr. Kuro is different!
He will not even fear the impact of the World Conference for the sacrifice of his subordinates.
Such a general…
Such a Marine!!
Wilbur's eyes were full of tears. "Only such a Marine is the true representative of justice!"
"Yes! You are right, Wilbur!"
Kaz's eyes were red and he shouted: "That's it, Mr. Kuro is like that! His glory surrounds each of us. Remember, a quotation like this needs to be remembered. Only by understanding Mr. Kuro's words can we better understand justice!"
He continued, "The justice taught by Mr. Kuro will be recorded in books and will be passed on in this world forever!!"
"Kaz!!"
Wilbur turned and looked excitedly at Kaz.
"Wilbur!!" Kaz roared and grabbed Wilbur's hand and squeezed it hard.
The two of them looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks in their eyes, and a hot-blooded breath came.
"Oh, it's really hot-blooded. I feel that my blood is boiling!" Moore seemed to have seen something rare and his eyes widened.
Basil held his forehead and shook his head and sighed.
He felt that there were not many normal people on this ship.
He felt that as an ordinary person, he was under a lot of pressure.
After dealing with those Mermen, as the Marines gradually recovered the bodies of their colleagues in the sea, the Golden Lion continued to sail back to G-3.
Within a few days, the Golden Lion returned to Fortress G-3.
A group of Marines placed the remains of their colleagues in the hall and Kuro took the lead to send them off.
At this moment, he stood at the front and stared at the bodies wrapped in Marine flags. After a moment of silence, he sighed.
It was impossible to say that he had not suffered casualties in his career as a Marine.
Even though they once served in the 153 divisions of East Blue and fought against pirates, Marines still suffered casualties.
This is the position. After becoming a Marine, one naturally has to be prepared to be buried in the sea.
What Kuro could do from the beginning was to control the casualties as much as possible and save as much as he could. If he really could not save them, there was nothing he could do.
His hands are only so long. He can't manage everything.
But for such casualties, except for a few who survived, the rest of the Marines were all buried in the sea.
Kuro really didn't encounter much.
The danger level of the New World, even if it is guarded by me, I can't relax at all…
"Burn it. Also, check the nationality and affiliation. Send those who have relatives to his hometown. The pension must be done well and the credit must be reported well. You go and draft a report yourself. Don't let the higher-ups slack off."
"Also, after all, they are my subordinates in my jurisdiction. I will give them some preferential treatment myself. Among those sacrificed Marines, those with poor family conditions can go to Pegasus Island to settle down. They will not be charged, and those who want to do business will be given preferential treatment. Sabaody Archipelago is also the same."
"Send back those who have no relatives and tell his hometown about his contribution as a Marine and make his hometown proud of him."
Kuro bit his cigar and instructed Crowe, "That's all. Go and do it. You can add any good ideas you have."
"I understand, Mr. Kuro."
Crowe pushed up his glasses and immediately ran to handle this matter.
This person is dead, he must be sent back.
There are many ways to send people to their graves in this world.
But it was basically the Water, Fire, and Earth Burial.
Some people died and put themselves in a boat. The boat was covered with kerosene and there was a candle on the kerosene. The boat floated in the sea and waited for the candle to burn short. When it touched the kerosene, the boat burned and finally died at the bottom of the sea.
This is Water Burial.
Cremation is the method that Kuro is using now, because it will be very inconvenient to bring all of them back, so he can only bring the ashes back. Then he will hold a ceremony and burn them.
There is also burial, which is the most popular way to bury a body.
However, it is said that in some places, there is also a sky burial, where people who are about to die are abandoned in a place, waiting for the beasts to eat them.
And a strange custom of asking a few people to carry a coffin and dance before burial…
Shaking his head and throwing away this messy thought, Kuro walked back to the fortress office.
"This is a disgrace!"
Wilbur stared at the bodies of his dead colleagues and murmured, "Kaz, we have to remember that this is a disgrace!"
Kaz closed his eyes and stood very still and silent.
When the Marines who were waiting for the sacrifice were carried away and gradually retreated from the fortress hall, Kaz suddenly opened his eyes and a trace of white mist appeared in his eyes. As the mist appeared in his eyes, Wilbur's body stiffened and he looked at Kaz in horror.
"I will not have this shame again!"
Kaz focused. "In the name of tenacious justice, I, Doug Kaz, swear that this shame will never happen again!!"
Boom!
At this moment, white gas spread out from his surroundings. The heavy momentum was almost substantial and could almost crush the entire hall.
"K-Kaz?"
Wilbur's stammering voice sounded. Kaz looked to the side and saw Wilbur's body trembling. His eyes began to roll back in his head, but they quickly returned to normal, but his face became uglier and uglier.
This strange behavior surprised Kaz. "Wilbur, what's wrong?"
The heavy aura dissipated at this moment.
"Yes?"
At this moment, Kuro, who was walking towards the office, raised his eyebrows and looked down. All he could see was a long and narrow staircase.
However, his expression was very strange, mixed with some shock and disbelief.
Although it was only for a moment, he seemed to have felt a Haoshoku aura at that moment.
Kuro shook his head, closed his eyes and smiled. "How is that possible, it's an illusion…"
Where did Haoshoku come from in Fortress G-3? Those who are ranked slightly higher are his own subordinates, and the rest are some old Marine Admiral majors who are in G-3 all year round. It is impossible for Haoshoku to be here.
He doesn't even have one himself!
