Headquarters.
"Hundreds of thousands of lives…"
In the Marshal's office, Sakasugi hung up the phone. His head was slightly lowered and his face was hidden under the brim of his hat, making it difficult to see his expression, but his fists were subconsciously clenched.
Crowe's report is not finished yet, but the intelligence has been sent to Headquarters through other Vice-Admiral Den Den Mushi.
Kuro faithfully carried out the Demon Slayer Token, which Sakasugi was very relieved about. Sure enough, Kuro is different from other Marines. He is a pure Marine. As soon as he became a Admiral, he immediately reflected the Marine's professionalism. Although he is usually lazy, he still dares to go up when something happens.
But that number made Sakasugi himself smart.
No one ran away?!
It is said that once the Demon Slayer Token is issued, the people on the island can escape.
When he participated in the O'Hara Demon-Slaughtering Token back then, it was not only that refugee ship that he destroyed. Before he came, there must have been innocent people who ran away, but after he came, it was not appropriate for them to run away.
But that thing is called a refugee ship!
Avoid! Difficult! Ship!
This means that this is tacit consent and unrelated people can leave before the Battleship arrives.
But Kuro, what is this?
All of them?!
Even if there are metahumans there, this is too exaggerated!
"Hey, Sakasugi!!"
A man stormed in through the front door. It was Garp.
At this moment, Garp gritted his teeth and stepped in with a face full of veins. He said angrily to Sakasugi, "What the hell! Why did Kuro do that!"
It's not like Sakasugi is the only one who knows about intelligence. Doberman is one of the generals of the Demon Slayer Order, and he also has the Mountain of Fire. Although it's not Garp's faction, the two factions have a good relationship, so Garp naturally knows about it.
But it also means that the higher-ups should all know.
"What are you doing here?"
Sakasugi glanced at him and said, "Go to your training camp."
"I am questioning you! And why did Kuro kill so many people!" Garp said angrily.
He is really angry!
Kuro killed hundreds of thousands of people with the Demon Slayer Token this time!
This is the first time in Marine history that there has been such a huge massacre!
This is really the first time!
Even the deplorable O'Hara, or the clean-up operation launched on several islands in the South China Sea in search of Roger's unborn son after Roger's death, the number of casualties was not as large as the number of casualties caused by Kuro this time.
That was enough for Garp to misunderstand.
He had killed too many people!
"This has nothing to do with you. You never go to the Demon Slaughter Order, Garp. Besides, since you know it, you should know the reason."
Sakasugi said coldly, "It's because of the pirates, not Kuro."
"But that's too much!"
Karp's eyes widened. "There should be another way. Why can't it wait?"
"What can be done? In this situation, who can do anything? Once the time is over, there will be more casualties. In order to stop more casualties, what's wrong with this!"
Although Sakasugi felt shocked, it was not incomprehensible.
He had done the same himself.
That was what he did back in O'Hara.
In order to prevent criminals from mixing in the refugee ship and causing more turmoil, it was better to kill them together and end it all.
Because once there is a 'casualty', no matter how big or small it is, it will be a casualty. What we have to avoid is the next time.
So what if they are not understood by others? So what if they are criticized by others now!
Does he care about these things!
"I'm not telling you!"
Garp snorted at him and rushed forward to take the Den Den Mushi on the table and walked out angrily.
"Hey, you old man!!"
Sakasugi roared, but finally chose not to move and let Karp take Den Den Mushi away.
"Really, all of them are like this. Kuro is too murderous!"
Garp muttered and walked outside with Den Den Mushi, just in time to see Crane waiting outside with his arms crossed.
"You know it too, Crane?" Garp asked.
"After all, it is a big deal. Marine has been established for a long time and there has never been such a large number of civilian casualties caused by Marine voluntarily. This will make people criticize." Crane shook his head and said, "I am not like you, a brainless person, come over and scold me first. I am here to find a solution, but… I can listen first."
"Then bring it to the next one."
Da, da, da…
With a few crisp sounds, Laughing appeared at the corner with his walking stick. He opened his white eyes and said, "I also want to know the reason of Brother Kuro."
"You also think that Kuro did something wrong?" Crane turned and asked.
"No…"
With a smile, he shook his head. "I heard the cause of the matter, but I admire Brother Kuro's courage. If it were me, I might not be able to do such a thing. It will only cause more casualties."
"Make the call!"
Garp picked up the microphone and dialed the number.
… .
"Rawr …"
Kuro, who had just returned to the office not long ago, was half-lying in his seat and did not speak. Crowe ran to write a report and only Leda was there. She did not speak, but she felt that the atmosphere was a little dull.
"Kuro, the phone is ringing…" Leda raised her hand.
"Call at this time, is it from Headquarters?"
Kuro glanced at Den Den Mushi, sat up straight, and picked up the microphone.
"Kuro!!"
Soon, Den Den Mushi turned into a loud idiot and roared at them.
This voice … Cap.
"You old man, don't shout so loudly. You're old and so arrogant. Be careful of your vocal cords tearing," Kuro said indifferently.
"Why did you do that!" Garp roared.
"You came to ask me? I didn't expect you to be the first to ask me. I thought it would be a smile or a Kuzan who was wandering around somewhere," Kuro said.
"Well, I don't understand either, but Kuzan found me and asked me to ask you." The other side directly said: "Oh, he also asked me to scold Sakasugi."
He actually admitted it so generously!
Kuro's lips twitched as he lit a cigar and said, "His situation is so strong now? Who revealed it to him? Oh… the fire is here, no wonder. What explanation do you want to hear? I have official and unofficial ones."
"What's official?"
"The official explanation is that in order to avoid more casualties, I, Admiral Kim Jong-un, took the initiative to make a choice and killed more than 100,000 people, including children and old people, stopping the conspiracy of just one pirate. Isn't this especially stupid, but this is really the reason."
"What about the unofficial ones?"
"It's not official, that's even more concise. Tell that idiot Couzan that he's not a Marine, why would he ask? If he really doesn't like me, then come back and be a Marine!"
Kuro cursed and hung up.
