In the Tenshou Pavilion, in a hall on the fifth floor, the General's Banquet Hall, which was originally used as a Black Snake, was now used as a temporary office by Kuro.
He sat in the top general's seat. Because of the steps, his legs could be put down directly instead of sitting cross-legged, and his sitting posture became bold.
Beside him, Leda also made a gorgeous futon and sat there, eating snacks.
On the first step down, Crowe stood at the side and pushed up his glasses.
Below, Kaz and Wilbur saluted in unison and said excitedly, "Mr. Kuro!!"
They have not seen Mr. Kuro for a long time!
Now that he saw it, how could he not be excited?
"Long time no see. I'll have to trouble you two later. Watch carefully, and you…"
Kuro looked at Shichibukai at the side and said, "Of course, I didn't ask you to come here to be executed. You have to be responsible for the defense work in case someone comes to cause trouble."
The six Shichibukai had different expressions.
"Huh, you're getting more and more arrogant, Kuro." Crocodile bit his cigar and the smoke curled around his face and it was hard to see his expression.
Boa Hancock had a beautiful figure and crossed her arms with an arrogant expression. When she heard this, she only snorted. "I will only do things according to the contract. I don't care about the rest."
She didn't want to care about anything!
All of this belonged to Master Luffy!
If it weren't for Kuro, maybe Lord Luffy would be in this position now, and she would be sitting in the position of that little white-haired ghost, and she could even snuggle up to Lord Luffy happily!
But she could not refuse this man.
Now that Shichibukai's welfare is too good, the people of the Amazon Lily Island don't have to go out and rob anymore. They only need to go to the New World to deal with pirates. For the female warriors of the Amazon Lily Island, fighting is routine, and they don't have to worry about supplies.
Rudolf bowed to Kuro and said, "As Shichibukai, I will fulfill my obligation."
They relied on Kuro for all of this, and it was also because Kuro gave them this position that the other Half-Mermaids on the sea would also come to rely on them, allowing them to grow bigger and bigger and finally live a stable life.
Half-Mermaids are grateful!
William straightened his white scarf and said: "I'm fine."
He was still eager to try.
Ever since he became Shichibukai, although he fought in the New World, as a self-proclaimed great pirate, he has never encountered any big scenes. For example, Old Seven Wuhai participated in some top-level war, and one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Blackbeard attacked G-3. He has never participated in any of them and has always felt regretful.
It was not easy to have a big scene, so of course he wanted to try.
It would be best if some heavyweight came and made him famous in the world again.
Bucky pretended to nod solemnly. In fact, he didn't know anything. He really came to watch the execution of Kaido and didn't think much about it. But seeing what the others all knew, he would look stupid if he didn't know. It was better to pretend.
Mihawk, on the other hand, stood there without saying a word.
"Alright, go and prepare. Help escort Kaido. I will personally execute him later!" Kuro waved his hand and motioned them to retreat.
Everyone took their leave one after another. Only Mihawk was still standing there. After everyone left, he said, "You captured Shanks and you still dare to ask me to come. Aren't you afraid that I will settle the score with you?"
Kuro rolled his eyes. "I knew you would ask me who asked him to block my way. Do you think I'm made of mud if you don't teach him a lesson? It's only natural for Marines to catch pirates. Besides, isn't this just right? Whitebeard is dead, Lingling is dead, Kaido is caught, plus him, everyone."
"And…"
He looked at Mihawk and smiled. "If you know how to care about such things, you should have gone to Impel Down as soon as you got the news."
Mihawk was silent for a moment before saying, "The way back to the sea, from the moment of the sea, everyone is doomed. No one can escape. Shanks is, I am, and you are no exception, Kuro. One day, we will all be pulled down."
"You have been pulled down. The number one swordsman in the world is mine, but there are many interesting swordsmen in the Country of Peace. You can compete with them."
Kuro shrugged. "As for me, if I really have that strength, just pull me down. What else can I do?"
If there really is a peerless genius who has dominated the sea for 800 years, what can he do?
But this kind of person, let's talk about it after we get out.
"The Yonkō (Four Emperors) era was actually ended by you. I didn't expect this, Kuro…"
Mihawk sighed. "When we first met in East Blue, I thought that you should have been famous in the sea long ago. Now it seems that it is not too late, right?"
Do you think I want to do this?!
Thinking of this, Kuro was angry. This guy was also one of the culprits back then!
If he hadn't looked for him to compete, Kuro wouldn't have been discovered by the old man and wouldn't have been discovered by the old man. He might still be a small Marine now and would have been sent to some branch base in the four seas to live a peaceful life.
He got to where he is today and even killed three of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), everyone is responsible, everyone!!
Mihawk thought of something and smiled. "Speaking of which, with the end of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) era, the sea will definitely be chaotic. Are you so confident that our Shichibukai will gather together and not cause trouble for you? There are many ambitious people here."
"On what basis?"
Kuro said indifferently, "If you have that idea, you would have formed a pirate group more than ten years ago. The rest, Hancock cares about her Hydra, Rudolph wants to maintain his own Half-Merman community. Although William wants to be famous, he is not qualified. Not to mention Bucky, these people need the identity of Shichibukai."
"Clockdale is quite ambitious. Although he seems to be much more stable, this might be an opportunity for him. But he is a smart person. What I can think of, he can definitely think of."
Shichibukai's combat power is naturally strong. Shichibukai may not be enough, but a few Shichibukai together, or even not many, three of them together can basically deal with a general. If all the Shichibukai are gathered, they can be two generals.
However, the premise is that they can really be twisted into a rope. This is impossible. Mihawk will definitely not go against me. Rudolf is on my side. William seems to be a little afraid of me and will not rebel rashly. Bucky… is useless.
That leaves Hancock and Crocodile. Even if Hancock is smart enough to take the risk that the citizens of Hydra don't want him, what's the use of adding Crocodile?
Besides, Crocodile is a smart person. Shichibukai is a convenient identity for him. This kind of 'smart person' will definitely develop himself. The other people's thoughts are not here, and he can't connect them. It's impossible for Shichibukai to all rebel against him.
It was very difficult to cause trouble here.
And Kuzan is still here. No matter what, that idiot will not give up on the end of the great Yonkō (Four Emperors) era.
So Kuro was very steady this time.
