Cormeric Island, Dominican Republic.
This island is the island that Kuro destroyed with the Demon Slayer Token and it was also abandoned by the Dominican Kingdom.
At some point, a group of orphans appeared on this island. They came from the first half of the Four Seas and Grand Line. Because of the war, pirates, or other kingdom policies, the orphans were all here.
Where there are people, people will naturally be attracted.
Although it was abandoned, as a big island with many buildings left, it still attracted many people to come here. Relying on the orphans to form a new town, it began to have a lot of vitality.
The town is located in a natural harbor near the sea of Comerick. At this time, on the streets of the town, a group of children are running and playing with each other and laughing.
The adults who opened shops and lived here couldn't help but smile.
Many of them have lost their ability to survive in the original homeland, so they came here to survive. It is very warm for them to feel the laughter of children here.
Unfortunately, these orphans cannot be adopted by them. Although they see these orphans as no different from their own children, they still cannot be adopted.
Because the director here would not agree.
In the center of the town, there is a huge manor with many children in it, and there is a group of children surrounding it.
Inside the circle, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes and sunglasses was squatting there, fiddling with a huge telescope in front of him.
A child looked at the telescope eagerly. "Garden Head Grandpa, is it not done yet?"
"Well, it will take a while."
The person called the director fiddled with it and subconsciously opened his mouth. "This telescope is too big. It's very difficult to fix. It's really a big telescope. It's so scary."
"Hurry up, Grandpa Director, we want to see the stars before the night. Do you know that the stars in the sky are really beautiful?" A little girl said with some anticipation.
A little fatty said in surprise, "Eh? Can you see the stars?"
"Shut up, it's your fault. You broke it. I haven't seen a star for a long time and you broke it!" The little girl said angrily.
"It's not that…"
The little fatty scratched his head apologetically. "I was frightened because I didn't see the stars and I saw a huge black thing that was still moving. It scared me."
"Humph!" The little girl crossed her arms and turned her head away.
At this moment, after the director fiddled with it, he suddenly said, "Oh ~ It seems to be fixed."
The little girl said in surprise, "Really?!"
The director stood up and his eyes under the tea-colored sunglasses curved. He reached out and touched the little girl's head. "A few parts inside are broken. Now they are fixed. Take a look."
The little girl stuck to the huge telescope. The little fat man approached consciously, holding the body of the telescope and adjusting the angle.
"It's true, it's really good. I can see the sky!" The little girl smiled excitedly and said, "Turn over a little more and go down a little. I want to see the others!"
The little fatty held the mirror and slowly moved down, listening to the little girl's laughter. "The sea can be seen clearly, the sea…"
Suddenly, the little girl stopped and her head left the telescope and her face turned pale.
"Mon-monster?!"
"Huh?" The director opened his eyes slightly.
"There is a monster, Grandpa Director!"
The little girl jumped up and shouted in horror, "What a big monster is approaching here!"
"Monster?"
The director leaned over and fixed the telescope. He looked inside and was slightly stunned. He said kindly, "No, you are wrong. I guess the telescope has not been fixed and some parts have not been completed. I will check again…"
"But I really saw it!" The little girl was about to cry.
"How can that be, um… Look at this."
The director took out a small part from the telescope and deliberately lowered his hand, letting the group of children lower their heads and gather together.
In his hand was a screw.
Just as they lowered their heads, the director suddenly stretched out his other hand with his index finger stretched out at the front. A laser shot out from his index finger and broke out in an instant, leading to the sea in front of him.
After that, he put his finger down, picked up the screw, and hit the telescope again.
"Okay, now let's take another look." The director said with a smile.
The little girl leaned over the telescope doubtfully and looked at the sea. She said happily, "It's really true. It's fixed and there are no more monsters. But Grandpa Director, why is the sea a little red?"
"Then maybe it has just been fixed. It will be fine after a while."
The director opened his mouth and said, "The telescope that always has strange problems is really scary."
"Garden Director Grandpa…"
The little girl looked up, her eyes full of curiosity. "I see people flying in the air. Is the telescope broken again?"
"Yes," the director said with a smile.
The little girl looked over again and said, "But Grandpa Director, that person is getting closer and closer, he has arrived…"
Whoosh!
As soon as she finished speaking, the impact of a ball of air filled their heads. They saw a man in a white cloak and a golden formal suit stopping above their heads and slowly falling.
"It's him, Flying Man!" The little girl pointed at him and shouted, "He's here, it's not a mistake!"
"Wow, it's flying!" The rest of the children exclaimed.
"Oh, so it's not a mistake, it's a real person." The director scratched his head and smiled. "This is really difficult."
Kuro pursed his lips. "What real person? Old man, I came to see you."
He flew for a while and had just approached the island when he saw a Sea King approaching the island. He wanted to deal with it, but before he could do anything, a laser shot over and penetrated the body of the Sea King, causing it to sink directly into the sea, leaving only a pool of blood.
It was the old man.
Of course, Kuro knew about the old man's movements. Since he retired, he had been the director of the Garden in Comerick.
The kindergarten director!
He had a lot of fun educating children every day.
Seeing Kuro fall to the ground, Kizaru opened his mouth and said, "It's so scary, it's Admiral Kim."
A blue vein appeared on Kuro's forehead. "You are looking for trouble!"
Don't you know how I came to be a general!
What's with that tone!
"This old man has seen the newspaper. You have done a very good job in the Country of Peace. It's really scary. Kuro, why are you looking for this old man?" Kizaru said, "Let me say it first, this old man is not going to the Country of Peace."
"I didn't ask you to go!"
Kuro rolled his eyes. "Also, I can't come to visit you for no reason? You make me seem so purposeful, but… there's really something this time. Old man, use your connections and beg Vegapunk for something."
