When you think he's a good Marine, those closest to them know the true face of Mr. Kuro, a salted fish who doesn't want to cause trouble.
But if you really think that he is a salted fish, you will be frightened by his unintentional thoughts and think, is this really his true face?
This reminded Crowe of something Mr. Kuro had said to them when they were on Pegasus Island.
At that time, he pointed to the sea and said, "This is the first layer of the world, the sea is the sea, the second layer, the sea is not the sea, the third layer, the sea is the sea."
At that time, Crowe could not understand, but now, he can understand.
Just like when Crowe first met Kuro, he thought that he had great ambitions. At that time, he was afraid but also excited. Now, he has returned to the initial level.
How could he not participate in this exciting matter? Once he succeeds, he will make history!
Crowe thought of the scream of Faretel Joshua below. He was not like that when he came. He became like that after talking to Mr. Kuro. Is this a chess piece just in case?
Crowe's brain worked like crazy and he suddenly said, "Mr. Kuro, we can wait and see for a while."
"Ah? Watch what?"
Kuro stared at Crowe and said in confusion, "What's there to wait and see?"
Being stared at by Kuro, Crowe felt his heart tremble. Those eyes seemed to have magic, as if they could explore his heart.
Have I been discovered?!
Although Mr. Kuro sometimes says shocking words, he has always shown that lazy look. Does he not want anyone to know, or does he not want anyone to point it out?
It's not time yet. It's not time to see the truth yet. I still have to act with him!
"Well, it's mainly because we think that if we can complete the matter of the Duchy of Faya, maybe the higher-ups will change their opinion of us…" Crowe braced himself.
"What's there to change? Crowe, let me tell you, a person's achievements not only depend on individual efforts, but also on the course of history. How far this Farytel Joshua can go is his business. I'm just a little interested in him. Now that the higher-ups want me to go, I have to go. This kind of thing is not something that we Marines can interfere with. We are just Marines. If we really want to interfere, it will be with these people year-over-year, a country that has nothing to do with them. War is not something that we Marines can change."
Kuro blew out smoke and said, "Go, get the ship out. We should go."
"Understood, Mr. Kuro…"
Crowe retreated and went down from the building. He walked outside and looked at the brave appearance of the street outside and understood.
This Farytel Joshua may be able to do things, but he certainly can't affect the overall situation. He may be strong, but he is only one person. Every kingdom that can stand has strong people. And those Yonkō (Four Emperors) can't let him easily unify Astya. The final result will definitely fail.
"Can't Marine intervene?"
Crowe murmured, "If I continue to pretend, then there is only one person who can do this kind of thing. Let's try it… It just so happens to verify my guess."
He took out Den Den Mushi and made a call.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Koro?" Den Den Mushi's face became quite ordinary, but it carried some righteousness and king's breath.
Watching Den Den Mushi being connected, Crowe said only one sentence: "Mr. Kuro is very interested in Faretel Joshua."
The other party was silent for a while and said, "I understand."
With that, he hung up.
Crowe exhaled and pursed his lips. He raised his eyes and glanced upstairs before he went to gather Marines and prepare to evacuate.
… .
Dressrosa, a private conference room in the palace.
David, Cass, and Wilbur were sitting in a triangular shape. There was a rough New World map on the table.
The three of them would come for a gathering when they had nothing to do.
The first is to watch "Justice Faith" translated by Wilbur and obtain new insights.
The second is to exchange ideas and strategies with each other and see how far they should go.
"Did you hear that?"
David glanced at the two of them and said excitedly, "Mr. Kuro can always find our bottleneck breakthrough point at the right time. He has been paying attention to us!"
Since the last battle with the One-Horned Pirates, Dressrosa's top combat power besides Marine has also made up a little.
Wang Long and Yagyu Shihu joined Dressrosa and became members of the [Justice Corps] because they believed in and expected justice from their master and would work hard for it.
Although they were pirates, David himself was not a Marine, and these two pirates had not done anything out of line. Even Wilbur, who had once lost, expressed that this was a good thing and he would not blame Yagyu Ishiguro. Of course, they would not show up on the surface.
The two of them entered the [Justice Corps]. After watching for a short time, they felt that they were not worthy and volunteered to set off to be pirates and reorganize the power of the One-Horned Pirates. Now they are called "Captain Longhu" and are sweeping the sea.
As it happened, that was what David thought.
Because the last time Crowe met them, he said something similar. Master seems to have started to pay attention to pirates and it is not impossible for him to control some pirates.
This kind of thing is not convenient for Master to show up, but they can. They can control the pirates and let Captain Longhu find the pirates with gay orientation. This way, they can quickly deploy their flag in the pirate force.
But after conquering the power of the country and the One-Horned Pirates, although everything was developing in an orderly manner, David fell into a bottleneck.
There was no place to fight.
When they broke in further, they encountered stronger pirates. They almost used all their strength to deal with a single-horned pirate group, and that was when some pirates were killed.
It was precisely because of that battle that they found that their high-end combat power was seriously insufficient. After all, Kaz and Wilbur were Marines, and it was impossible for them to always follow Dressrosa to battle. If that happened, there would be problems.
They are all Vice-Admiral now. In this position, if they leave, it will affect his master's plan. It is best not to let them act.
Although Captain Longhu has brought some high-end combat power, it is obviously not enough now. The people with combat power in Dressrosa have basically been dug up by him. Once the territory is big, they have to find a place to defend. Now it is because there is no way to fight with people.
But now Crowe's words made David a little more interested.
'Farytel Joshua?'
The 'Emperor' who was treated as a joke on the sea?
If Master thinks he is useful, then he must be useful!
