"Moo? Moo!"
Mayon's words stunned Bucky for a moment before he reacted and exclaimed.
"You, you want to join me?" Bucky's palm flew out and his finger pointed at the man, and he said in surprise: "Really?!"
Mayon was puzzled. "Is there a problem? Or are you looking down on me? Although I feel very weak and can't compare to you, I am still a bounty criminal with more than 100 million bounty!"
"Ah… no!"
Bucky shook his head violently, then took back his hand and laughed, "Hahahaha, very good, then kneel under my flag, I will accept you as my little brother!"
"Great, Boss Bucky, I will follow you for the rest of my life!" Mayon said excitedly.
"Bucky! Bucky!!"
At this moment, Mr. 3 suddenly ran into the tent and said to Bucky in the sky, "A big golden ship is coming!"
"Kim?!"
Bucky's ears twitched. "Is it gold?! Great, little ones, come with me to collect taxes and let the people on this route know my name!"
"Oh!! Boss Bucky, let me take the lead for you!" Mayon held the big knife and shouted excitedly.
"No, that ship is…"
Mr. 3 was about to speak when he saw Bucky fly away and the newly recruited subordinate rushed out. There was no room for him to continue explaining.
… .
"Ha, hahaha, I didn't expect you to come."
At the port, Bucky rubbed his hands together with a smile on his face as he watched Kuro get off the ship.
He was originally waiting excitedly at the port for people to come out and was ready to collect commercial taxes. However, the closer the ship was, the more familiar he felt as if he had been on this ship before.
However, when he remembered it, he had already come down and it was too late to run.
Damn Gar Dino, he didn't make himself clear. He thought that it was a big fish and was about to collect the first business tax, but it turned out that it was a Sea King.
"Oh, Bucky, are you going to greet me personally?"
With a cigar in his mouth, Kuro glanced at Bucky and then glanced at a macheteman who was eager to fight. His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Well, we want to buy goods…"
Before Mayon could finish speaking, Bucky hurriedly flew out a hand and covered his mouth. He laughed and said, "Nothing, nothing. My new subordinate doesn't know the rules."
Kuro glanced at the macheteman and said, "Koro."
"Yes."
Crowe stepped out from behind and glanced at the macheteman. He thought for a moment and said, "It's 'Blade' Mayon, with a bounty of 178 million. Well… he has done a lot of outrageous things and is most famous for destroying towns and destroying Marine's encirclement."
"Oh…"
Kuro nodded and said, "Bucky, you are Shichibukai and you are going to fight pirates. Even if you want to recruit subordinates, you have to pay attention. Not just anyone can be recruited. Crowe, throw him into the sea."
Whoosh!
In an instant, Crowe's figure flashed and he appeared directly in front of Mayon. His five fingers were like knives, directly stabbing into Mayon's chest, and his domineering fingers directly penetrated into his chest and pierced straight into his heart.
Pfft!
With a sound, blood flowed down from Mayon's chest. He looked at the person below in a daze and subconsciously wanted to raise his big knife, but he saw Kro pull back his arm and directly shoot a ball of blood on his chest, causing Mayon's body to fall.
Crowe directly pulled his legs and dragged this still breathing body to the port and threw him into the air.
"Tempest Kick!"
The moment he threw it out, Crowe kicked out a blue slash, cutting Mayon's body in half and he fell into the sea.
"It's done, Mr. Kuro," Crowe turned and said.
"Hey!!"
Bucky glared and pointed at Crowe and said, "Do you know that in this cruel world of pirates, pirates also have to be moral! That's my new subordinate! Do you know what he has done? Even if he has just been recruited, he is still my subordinate! Are you going to start a war with me!"
"Of course I know, but I'm a Marine now. Besides, I just received it. It doesn't count if I didn't drink it."
Crowe said lightly.
He used to be a pirate, and he and Bucky were both in East Blue, so they had heard of each other.
But that was in the past. He was now a Marine and a Marine Vice-Admiral. It was much better than being a small pirate with more than ten million dollars.
"So, you have to be careful when recruiting subordinates. Forget about what kind of prisoners you used to bring to Impel Down. At that time, I wasn't the one who was in charge of you, but now that I am, it's better to be careful when recruiting subordinates."
Kuro walked over and said as he patted Bucky's shoulder and said, "Since I didn't drink the wine, just take it that I didn't drink it. It's not a big deal. This kind of thing is not important. But I came to your territory, won't you treat me to a meal?"
"Huh?! You killed my men and still want me to treat you to a meal?!" Bucky said angrily.
… .
In a restaurant, Bucky waved his hand and said, "Let's eat, it's my treat today!"
At the table, Kuro, Leda, Crowe, and Bucky are gathered at a table laden with food.
Leda was eating heartily, Crowe was cutting a steak with a cold expression, and Kuro was biting his cigar with a bottle of good wine in front of him.
"Hey, I say, what are you doing here, Kim Luong?"
Bucky examined Kuro and said proudly, "Are you here to check my station? Then you will be disappointed, because I have just settled down."
"Take a long vacation. After all, my fortress is gone and you were there," Kuro said as he exhaled smoke.
It's good to take a long vacation. I'll walk around in the first half of the Grand Line, then return to the East Sea for a tour, and finally return to Pegasus Island to recuperate for a while and slowly wait for time to wear off. It's best to wait until the chaos in the second half of the New World stops.
To be honest, Kaido and Lingling have formed an alliance to find One Piece, not to challenge the bottom line of their Marine, but the bottom line of the World Government and pirates. When they find it, these Yonkō (Four Emperors) will fight sooner or later.
Kuro didn't know what Akagami (Red Hair) was thinking, but he certainly wouldn't let Kaido and Ling Ling get One Piece so easily. Although that bastard Tiki disappeared temporarily, he would be able to recover sooner or later with his ability, but not if Marco caught him.
Either way, Titch wouldn't sit back and let Kaido and Lingling get the Oneice so smoothly, although Kuro didn't think Titch was very interested in the Oneice.
His goal is to become a person like Lux, with absolute power and influence. He is not necessarily interested in treasures.
In the end, the pirates themselves will be in chaos, and once they get that big secret treasure, Kaido and Lingling will definitely fight. Once the situation is out of control, Marine will win.
At that time, Marine will annihilate the remaining pirates in one fell swoop and return the world to its former glory. He, Kuro, will successfully fulfill his dream of safety. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
There is no pressure at all to take leave.
