After being taught a lesson by Kuro, all he thought about was this kind of thing!
His childhood experiences and previous battles resurfaced in his mind.
The golden blade almost killed him, but it also broke his magic barrier.
Who can survive in the sea?
To make a living on the cruel sea, if you want to make a name for yourself, you have to leave life and death behind. Only in this way can you really survive on the sea.
Otherwise, even if he became a great pirate, he would have an accident one day because of his fear of death.
But now that William had thought it through, that stab by Kuro had made him think it through.
He had already seen the power of that slash and fully understood the true cruelty of the sea. Although he was not afraid of death now, who would want to die?
Liar! They are all liars!
Using the title of the Fifth Emperor to attract attention, if someone really thinks that they can dominate the sea after defeating the Fifth Emperor or beating the Fifth Emperor, they will be similar to the Fifth Emperor and become the reserve of the Emperor of the Sea.
William had such thoughts before, and then he found that he was wrong, because the strength displayed by Kuro was crushing.
And he heard that Kuro once fought with Blackbeard in Fortress G-3, causing Blackbeard to suffer heavy losses.
Blackbeard is a standard Yonkō (Four Emperors), which caused him heavy losses, but Blackbeard himself is still intact. In other words, the real combat power of Yonkō (Four Emperors) is like Kuro.
These people are the real top combat power!
The rest are traps!
William didn't hate Kuro for almost killing him with a knife. Instead, he was a little grateful. This knife woke him up. Otherwise, with his previous expansion speed, he would probably turn around and look for Red Hair or Blackbeard.
If he really encountered a real Yonkō (Four Emperors), he would probably really fall in.
If Kuro were here and saw William's state of mind now, he would only say three words—supernova.
This is the standard mentality of a supernova. In the first half of the game, he has never lost, and in the New World, there are few people who can match him. Then, when he becomes arrogant, he challenges the bigger ones and loses to the real strong people.
Without exception, this is the case.
Elmyra looked at William and asked, "What are we going to do next, William?"
"How to do it…"
William looked at the sky and said, "There's nothing wrong with being careful. We won't give up on the New World, but this place is not suitable for the Big Ben. Let's go back…"
"Where are we going?" Mont Blanc was stunned. We are already in the New World, how can we go back?
Would the Marines let them go?
"Shichibukai!"
William said fiercely, "Then go to Shichibukai. That Kuro sent me an invitation and said that if I survive, I will report to him. I will seize this opportunity!"
Shichibukai is also a great pirate!
In the past, William always felt that he and Marine were not on good terms. He wanted to defeat Kuro and break the magic barrier, but once he put Kuro aside, William found that Shichibukai was actually the best choice.
The big pirate has power and protection.
Although the rules of the new Shichibukai under Kuro are not quite the same, it is still Shichibukai, a place where he can fulfill his dream.
That position is the most suitable for me!
"But before that, we have to do something…"
… .
Two months later.
Headquarters.
"Mr. Kuro."
Crowe came in with two boxes in his arms. "There's something for you, something from East Blue's Shields Town."
"Something from East Blue?"
Kuro glanced at the two boxes. "Someone in Sheltz town sent me something? How can they send it to me… Open it."
"It seems to have been sent by sea express delivery, that snail. I happened to pass by, so I took it."
Crowe let go of the two wooden boxes and with a twist of his fingers, he lifted the board of a wooden box. But as soon as he saw it, he immediately stood up and frowned, his eyes cold.
"Mr. Kuro, this is a provocation." Crowe looked up with an ugly and gloomy face.
Kuro swept his eyes down and saw that in the box, there was a human head that had been put in place and would not rot!
There was still cloth under the head.
"What kind of cloth are those?" he asked.
Crowe pulled the cloth from under his head and shook it, revealing a pirate flag.
This stunned him for a moment. He looked over and said uncertainly, "X Bone Pirates?"
Then, he looked at the head again and carefully identified it.
"Mr. Kuro, this seems to be the captain of the 'X Bone Pirates'. The bounty is 460 million Berries," said Crowe.
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and pulled away the cloth under the heads, revealing one pirate flag after another.
Crowe knows all of these Pirate Flags. The various pirate groups from the New World are Captains here, and the bounty of each Captain exceeds 300 million Berries.
Captain's head is here, which means those pirates…
"Oh? This gift is not bad. Where is the box?" Kuro smiled. After seeing the head, his eyes were on another box.
**TIP**
Crowe lifted the board with his fingers, revealing small boxes wrapped in grass.
A cigar box.
They were all very exquisitely made, exactly the same as the cigar box that Kuro got last time.
The boxes were all full. There were about 20 boxes.
A smile appeared at the corner of Kuro's mouth. With a hook of his finger, a box flew into the air and landed in front of him. The box was opened, revealing a cigar between gold and white.
Kuro lit the cigar, took a puff, and blew out a puff of smoke that went straight forward like steam. He smiled with satisfaction. "This is the taste. You finally got it, William."
"Cigar…"
Crowe pushed up his glasses and looked at the heads. "And the heads of these famous pirates. Mr. Kuro, are they trying to obtain the Shichibukai position?"
"Nothing bad."
Kuro smiled and said, "His strength is not bad, and he has not done anything wrong. Now he has come to express his position. He can be given the position of Shichibukai. Crowe, go and get a messenger bat. He should be in a more conspicuous position now. You can easily find him and ask him to come to the headquarters."
"Yes, Mr. Kuro, I will go and confirm the location."
Crowe nodded and withdrew first.
Kuro took another comfortable puff of the cigar and nodded. "This is the right taste. In the future, William will specially supply this thing to me. I don't need him to be the industrial chain. It shouldn't be very troublesome for him to supply me alone. Well…"
He stood up and hooked his finger again, separating most of it and walking straight towards Kizaru's office.
