Wine is a good thing. It can relieve a thousand worries, forget worries, increase courage, and make children.
After drinking with Lowe, the two sides dispersed. He still had his own country to deal with, and Kuro stayed on Pegasus Island on leave.
"Ow!"
At this time, in the luxurious room of the hot spring club, Kuro was half lying on the luxurious cushion of the first seat, and there was a golden lion-like and tiger-like animal lying next to him. Kuro's hand touched the smooth fur, as if he had touched it too hard, and the golden lion-tiger roared.
But soon, Kuro's hand gave it a blow on the head, making the roar of the Golden Lion Tiger weak, it withered, and the head lay down.
"You disturbed someone, dog."
"Oui…"
When the Golden Lion Tiger heard this name, it turned its head and called out again, obviously a little aggrieved.
This golden liger was found on Rare Beast Island when they went to find William. They didn't care about it at first, but when they boarded the ship, they found that this thing was also there, so they simply raised it.
Kuro named it Doggie, regardless of whether it agreed or not.
"Kuro!"
The sliding door outside was pulled open and Leda ran in with a doughnut in her mouth. When she saw the lying Golden Lion Tiger, she laughed happily and threw herself at it with her arms open.
"Aha, lick!"
"Oui…"
Golden Lion Tiger raised its head and roared weakly. Just as its neck stretched out, it was hugged by Leda who pounced on it, squeezing it until its neck shrank in and its eyes bulged.
"I told you, its name is Dog, Dog!"
Kuro rolled his eyes and picked up the tea beside him to take a sip, completely ignoring the Golden Lion Tiger's neck and the green face.
"It's Lick Lick Lick, I named it better."
Leda let go of Golden Lion Tiger and said, "By the way, my brother sent a telegram saying that West Blue is not very safe recently and asked us to leave early."
"West Blue is not safe? Why, are there pirates?" Kuro asked.
Leda shook her head. "I don't know. That's what he said. Anyway, he wants us to leave West Blue as soon as possible, in case we are in a difficult situation."
"Don't care about him, I am a Marine Vice-Admiral, a General Substitute, I am on leave in West Blue, can't I?" Kuro lit a cigar and said.
He had already spent about a month comfortably on Pegasus Island, so he might as well take a vacation here.
His old territory was also comfortable.
"Mr. Kuro, Mr. Kuro…"
At this moment, Crowe pulled open the sliding door and walked in, saying, "Members of 'Sword', sent a message."
"Huh?"
Kuro froze. "What Sword? What is that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted. "Oh, you mean that… Didn't I say that it's a small matter and you decide for yourself?"
Crowe said, "Well, I don't know if he's a small matter. O'Cuddy from the South China Sea called to see if the Long Sword Pirates can enter the Grand Line."
"South China Sea? The South China Sea needs to be reported. They all say that you made your own decision… Wait, Long Sword Pirates?"
Kuro remembered something and said in surprise, "The Long Sword Pirates of the South China Sea?"
Crowe nodded. "They're going into Grand Line."
Even Kuro had heard of the Longsword Pirates.
When he was in East Blue, Kuro had heard the name of this pirate group.
Because they are famous.
Although it is not on the Grand Line but only in the South China Sea, it is still a pirate group that reverberates in the world.
Because they have a hundred years of history and are a pirate group that has survived for a long time.
Since ancient times, Pirates have been short-lived in the long river of history. Even the current Big Mom and the Beast Pirates will disappear in a few years when they die.
Even a pirate group like Locus would disappear after more than 40 years even without the forced intervention of the World Government.
Only the [Long Sword Pirates] in the South China Sea is an anomaly. They have existed for a hundred years.
It's not that this pirate has lived for a hundred years, but that this pirate group is an inheritance-type pirate group. It's not a family inheritance or a master-disciple inheritance. It's just that the captain is dead, so it's recommended by someone.
This kind of tradition should be available to every pirate group, but most of the world's pirate groups won't last long. Even the famous Roger Pirates fell apart after Roger's death.
The same goes for Whitebeard. With Whitebeard's death, the Whitebeard Pirates are only left with 'remnants'.
In this world with an extremely strong personal style, being able to keep a pirate group for a hundred years shows how powerful they are.
The tradition of the Long Sword Pirates is that the hilt is there and the sword is there.
Captain is the hilt of the sword. No matter who is the captain, they will inherit the position of the hilt and then be responsible for building the sword body. Miraculously, these pirates are very convinced because they are elected by themselves, so the sword body does not need to be found. After generations, the Long Sword Pirates still stand.
Although it is in the South China Sea, their unique traditions and survival time have made them very famous.
But now Kuro didn't understand.
"This pirate group has been in the South China Sea for more than 100 years and has never moved. It's underestimating to say that they are a pirate group. They can be considered a kingdom. What's going on? Why do they suddenly want to enter the Grand Line?" Kuro frowned.
This pirate group has never left the South China Sea.
Perhaps there are pirates from the Long Sword Pirates who went to the Grand Line, but the Pirates themselves have never been to the Grand Line.
Now they are leaving for the Grand Line?
"Yes, news from O'Cuddy. This O'Cuddy is a member of the Marine Infiltrating the Long Sword Pirates. He is an old Marine. He joined the Marine at the age of 19 and served in the Marine for ten years. At that time, he was a Headquarters Captain. But later, because he refused to submit to Marine's control, he thought that the credit was embezzled by his superiors. He killed the Vice-Admiral at that time and fled. Finally, he joined the Long Sword Pirates and stayed in that place for ten years," Crowe said slowly.
Mr. Kuro appointed him as the deputy captain of Sword, so he must remember the lives of these people on the list.
This was also the reason why Kuro was unwilling to care. There were too many names on the list. If anyone had the time to write them down one by one, someone would do it for them.
"This is an old Marine and an old pirate…"
Kuro blew out a mouthful of smoke and thought for a while and said, "The reason is, why did the Long Sword Pirates go to the Grand Line and they gave up their basic position in the South China Sea?"
A pirate group that is almost a kingdom has its own tradition and has survived for hundreds of years. This is equivalent to organization and not disorder. Once such an existence enters the Grand Line, it will probably not be good.
