"Achoo!"
"Achoo achoo!"
G-3 branch, office.
Kuro sneezed a few times for no reason. He rubbed his nose and looked out of the window, muttering, "Which beauty missed me?"
"Yes?"
Leda stopped eating and looked at Kuro warily.
Beauty?
Impossible. She had been watching him closely every day. She knew very well how many women there were around Kuro, especially those beautiful women who looked like other people's wives. They were the focus of attention.
How could there be a woman?
"Some old pirate," Leda said.
"I have killed a lot of old pirates during this time. They are all nearby. As for the distant ones, as long as they don't come to my place and don't think about me, I can't be bothered."
Kuro picked up the powder stick on the table and raised the Autumn Water stick, which was white like a furball, on the blade and said, "Can't you think of me?"
Lida pursed her lips and stuffed a mouthful of snacks.
"Mr. Kuro."
Crowe pushed open the door and entered. "Kaz sent a message and confirmed the appearance of the invaders in the Kingdom of Raya."
"Oh? Which one?"
"It's Dressrosa, led by Pansa David."
These words made the movement of Kurozumi's blade slightly sluggish. He looked at Crowe and asked:
" Dressrosa? David? Are you kidding me? Dressrosa is very far away from me. Can he hit me?"
Crowe pushed up his glasses and said, "I am also puzzled, but it is true. After Kaz's confirmation, Pansa David has killed the king of Raya and officially took over Raya Island."
"Oh, why didn't I see it before? That kid is quite eager to conquer, but if it's him, he shouldn't do anything to the civilians. There's no need to care." Kuro was surprised for a moment and continued to flirt.
Knives must be maintained. This is not a special knife like Luo Gui's. Blood can keep it sharp. No matter what other knives are, they basically need to be maintained.
As for David, that was the business of their kingdom. He was just a Marine and had no right to care about it.
If he wants to fight, then let him fight. With that kind of personality, he must have his own thoughts. After all, David is not a mediocre person. Otherwise, he would not have chosen him as king.
"I'm hungry, let the radium make something good," Kuro ordered Crowe.
"I want to eat water and meat!" Leda raised her hand.
Kuro rolled his eyes. "Water Seven is so far away from here. How can we eat it so quickly? Wait a few days. Crowe, make a call and get someone to buy the ingredients of Water Seven and their sea salt."
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Kuro." Crowe nodded and left the office.
Even in normal times, this small request is not a problem, and Leda will buy it without permission. After all, she has a share of Pegasus Island.
And this time, Kuro got tens of billions for nothing. He was really rich.
The three of them split it among themselves, and Kuro took 25 billion. In addition, he scraped another 30 billion, causing the headquarters to get 20 billion and 10 billion for free, totaling 35 billion. He even shared the responsibility. He was willing to do this a few more times.
"I'm old and rich, I can eat anything." Kuro said proudly, "Lida, eat whatever you want. If you can eat me up…"
"Huh?" Leda raised her eyebrows and looked over.
"No, nothing. Forget I said anything." Kuro remembered something and closed his mouth.
With this guy's fruit ability and her proficiency in 'Life Return', she really won't be stuffed. Given time, she can eat it all.
… .
A few days later, it was still the office.
Kuro was eating at this time, and the water and meat that were urgently delivered and cooked by the sturgeon were already on the table. On the side, there were expensive lobsters and fish, which were all sent from a farther place. They used a speedboat, which was specially responsible for transporting the snail-shell-like speedboat. It was very fast, and in terms of delivery, it was quite practical.
On the other side of the sofa, Leda was eating heartily. The coffee table was full of empty plates.
"Mr. Kuro."
Crowe pushed open the door and entered, followed by several people. "Cass and the others are back."
With that, he stepped aside, revealing Kaz and Wilbur behind him and…
Kuro, who was eating water and meat, looked at the person who came in from behind and was stunned. "David?"
Kaz and Wilbur entered the office and saluted Kuro in unison. "Mr. Kuro!"
At the same time, David, who was the only one beside them who was not wearing a Marine uniform and was wearing luxurious clothes, bowed humbly and put his right hand on his chest and said, "Master, long time no see."
Kuro frowned and said, "Why do you always call me master? You are the king now."
David shook his head and said humbly, "My position as king was selected by you, and my weapon was also bestowed by you. You gave the Pansa family a new life. To Pansa, you are his master."
"Don't worry, I'm just a Marine. You governing your kingdom has nothing to do with me."
Kuro said, "Work hard."
"I'll keep it in mind, my lord." David bowed his head again.
Kuro rolled his eyes. Forget it, this person probably can't change his title.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Kuro said, "You have been making a lot of noise recently. The distance from Dressrosa to G-3 has been cleared for you. What do you think? With Dressrosa's size, it must be very difficult."
David opened his mouth and suddenly thought of something else and fell silent.
'I can't say, not now.'
Although he wanted to tell his master that he was fulfilling a sacred mission and everything was for his master's 'world peace'.
But now is not the time. He has not fulfilled his master's long-cherished wish. It is not even a small goal.
Now, not to mention peace in his own country, there are so many contradictions and hidden dangers. Saying it is just asking to be humiliated, it is just insulting his master's long-cherished wish.
Master definitely does not care about this level.
"Please forgive me." Finally, David lowered his head.
"Huh?"
Kuro was a little confused. Why is this guy apologizing?
"Oh!! How humble!
Kaz said excitedly: "Mr. Kuro! Mr. Kuro! David is working very hard for his goal, to let the people of other backward islands live like Dressrosa. He is not afraid of sacrifice at all, just for that 'unified world'!"
"It's a pity that there are not enough supplies in Dressrosa. Although Wilbur and I have donated one each, it is still not enough. Can we ask the Marines at the base to donate one for this? Such a grand ideal, I think the people of justice will be willing to contribute!"
What are you doing here?
Kuro raised his eyebrows. Dressrosa fought all the way to G-3. Even if the territory was a line, it was still very big, and it had to be on the same level as Dressrosa's life.
Putting aside whether his subordinates are willing or not, even if they pay the monthly salary of the entire G-3 Marine, these three melons and two jujubes will not make a sound in the water.
"Wait…"
Kuro thought of something and took out a cigar and lit it. He looked at David. "Is Dressrosa out of money?"
"It is really shameful, but it is true, Master."
David leaned over and said, " Dressrosa is expanding too quickly. The current funds really can't be used for my follow-up."
"I have money!"
Kuro was excited. He stretched out three fingers. "Do you lack investments? How about this, 30%, including Dressrosa, give me 30% of the real estate and I will invest in you. I have 35 billion!"
He is simply asking for too much. Dressrosa itself is not a small country, and a small country can be sold for 500 billion. Of course, he is buying the land and throne of the entire small country.
And now, Dressrosa's territory must be very big. Kuro wants 30% of the real estate, purely asking for money.
However, he could also wait for David to bargain.
When it comes to business, it's a mutual exchange.
"Really?!"
David widened his eyes. "Master, are you willing to support me?! No problem, 30% real estate, no problem at all!"
These words made the air freeze.
Not only Kuro, but even Leda and Crowe looked over in surprise.
"Eh?"
Kuro was stunned as he stretched out his fingers.
'And he agreed?'
