"Humph, humph, humph…"
Kuro came out of the Sakasugi while humming a little tune.
He's on vacation!
Unexpectedly, Sakasugi agreed so easily.
But thinking about it, he originally managed G-3 and the surrounding sea area. This position has not been removed, but there is no fortress for the time being. Without a fortress, he is just idle. As for the stability of the sea area near G-3, he has his subordinates to deal with it. He basically has nothing to do.
Depending on the situation, he could recuperate for a long time.
"Where to? It's not a bad idea to go back to my hometown. I haven't been back for a long time. I can go back to Pegasus Island. I haven't been back since I came out…"
He touched his chin and pondered.
Sigh, it's full of happy troubles.
Except for the tallest building, his subordinates were all waiting at the door.
"Mr. Kuro, we have settled everyone," said Crowe, pushing up his glasses.
After all, there are 5,000 people. Although this department is big enough, it will take time to settle down.
Ever since Kro entered the headquarters, he had been preparing for this.
Kuro nodded and asked, "Has Shichibukai left?"
"No, Rudolph is still here. He seems to want to wait for your appointment," Crowe said.
"Oh… him, tell him to wait. Crowe, ask Marine Evaluation to speed up and get the wanted poster out. Also… where is Moria?" Kuro asked.
"He got off the ship halfway," answered Crowe.
"Ah… forget it, let's get off the ship." Kuro thought for a while and shook his head.
He could still be a Shichibukai, but he did not force it. It did not matter if he waited, in case there was a better one.
"Mr. Kuro!"
At this moment, Kaz stood up and said loudly: "Fortress G-3 is gone, where should we go?!"
"What do you mean where to go? G-3 is gone, it's not like my position is gone. You can do whatever you want. Your mission will not change, um… but it will be a problem if it's gone. You can ask David if you can temporarily resupply at his place. Otherwise, it will take too much time to come and go."
"Yes, Mr. Kuro." Kaz looked at Wilbur and nodded.
"Alright, let's rest. G-3 is gone, let's rest in the Headquarters first. If we can't rest, we'll wait and see what orders the Headquarters has."
Kuro waved at them and asked them to leave. "Don't stand here and do what you need to do. Are you okay in the headquarters? Don't slack off."
The group of subordinates dispersed, leaving only Leda and Crowe behind.
"Where is Rudolf?" he asked.
"The tavern in the back," answered Crowe.
"Let's go and find him," Kurlo said and asked Crowe to lead the way to Rudolph.
At this time, Rudolf was following his friend in a tavern.
"How much?"
At this moment, Taylor stood in front of the counter and watched the waiter push out a glass of wine he had ordered. He opened his wallet with a painful expression.
It has been a few days since they came here for refurbishment. Because they were preparing for Shichibukai, they were not driven out, but Crowe only prepared accommodation for them. They brought their own dry food, but the dry food was almost finished.
They had no choice but to come to this tavern, but they had been hesitating for a long time. They wanted to eat, but they did not dare to because it was very expensive.
Their meals are different. It is a hundred times the price of others, and they are big eaters. One meal is enough to buy food for their clansmen for several days.
He had to save it.
But now that they had come here and heard that the Kingpin had returned, they had to be prepared to maintain their own dignity and not let the Kingpin look down on them.
"One thousand Berries."
The Marine attendant said lightly.
"A thousand Berries?"
Hearing this price, Taylor was stunned. "A thousand?"
"Is it too expensive?"
The Marine attendant looked Taylor up and down. "This is Headquarters. It's already very cheap."
"No, I mean…"
Taylor wasn't used to it and said, "I'm a Half-Fish."
"So what, a thousand Berries, want it?"
The Marine attendant said impatiently.
These people are not Marines, they are just guests brought by a Rear Admiral. If the Rear Admiral did not say that this seems to be the Shichibukai drafted by Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un, he would have ignored them.
The Half-Mermaids are not very high in status. Do they need preferential treatment?
This is the Marine Headquarters, which does not serve outsiders.
"Yes! Yes!"
Taylor nodded hurriedly. "Four cups and four portions of food, thank you!!"
With that, he looked back at the other three people sitting at the table and said excitedly, "Boss Rudolf, he, they…"
He didn't charge a high price or discriminate against them. Is this heaven?!
"As expected of Marine Headquarters."
Rudolf nodded secretly. To be honest, when he first came to this place, the powerful force displayed by this department made him feel that his claim has been correct.
With their size, there is no good end for them if they go against Marines.
On the contrary, if you are in the same camp as them, you can guarantee that your tribe will live well.
Rudolf was even more determined to become Shichibukai. He must be in this position to make the clan prosperous.
"Let me treat you."
Just as Taylor was about to pay, a voice sounded from the door.
"Jin Lu!"
Rudolf saw the person and immediately stood up. The other Half-Mermaids did not dare to sit and stood up one after another.
Kuro brought Leda and Crowe into the tavern and said to the waiter, "Put it on my tab."
"Yes! Vice-Admiral!" The waiter saluted and answered loudly.
"Eh?! You're treating?" Leda seemed to have found something strange.
Kuro rolled his eyes. "Am I that kind of stingy person? When have I not invited guests?"
With that, he smiled. "Of course, most importantly, I'm in a good mood."
When they reached Rudolf's table, Kuro waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down. He sat down himself and said, "Wait a few days. Marine is evaluating your threat level, but…"
He snapped his fingers and Crowe pulled out a contract and placed it on the table.
"Sign it and you will be Shichibukai."
"No problem!"
Rudolf took out a pen from his jacket pocket and turned to the last page of the contract. Without looking at the content, he signed his name.
"Aren't you going to watch it?" Kuro asked curiously.
Rudolf smiled and said, "I have heard about the Shichibukai under your leadership, there is no need to see it."
This way, he could show his sincerity.
As for the New Shichibukai incident, there were already rumors on the sea. He knew most of it, so there was no need to look carefully.
"It's up to you. I hope you can maintain this humility at all times and be careful. Once you fall, I will be merciless." Kuro lit a cigar and warned.
"I will remember it in my heart." Rudolf stood up and bowed to him again.
