Apart from Kaz and Wilbur, who belong to Dressrosa, and Ian, who is patrolling everywhere, these old subordinates of his must come.
As for the Marines, they have also invited the faction that they are leading this time, so that they can come to the Country of Peace when they are free and celebrate the New Year together.
After all, they had not contacted each other for a year. The old man had retired and he was in the Country of Peace. Now, the faction meeting at the headquarters was held in place of Brother Strawberry.
Although their faction itself doesn't have much knowledge.
Kuro asked Crowe, "Has everything been notified?"
"Yes, Mr. Kuro, all the Marines we know have been informed, but we can't contact Kizaru… Mr. Polusalino," said Crowe.
"I can handle the old man."
Kuro nodded and leaned back on the recliner and heaved a sigh of relief. "Well, it's time for people to see the effect. After all, it's been hard work for a year. There's a saying in my hometown that the rich don't return to their hometown. It's the new year, let people see the Country of Peace that I worked hard to make."
When Crowe heard this, a black line appeared on his forehead.
'Hard work?'
'How are you working hard?'
For the past year, he has been smoking there every day or looking for a place to drink. You have almost cleared most of the entertainment venues in the Country of Peace. When Kuzan comes back, he will soak in the hot spring with him. It is really hard to have fun.
Mr. Kuro himself ordered that the streets of the Country of Peace are not allowed to have those kind of hooligans hanging on the streets, especially in the City of Flowers. The only one hanging on the streets is himself.
Hard work had nothing to do with him. Instead, it was Crowe himself who had been running back and forth between the six regions of the Country of Peace this year, especially after Kaz and Wilbur left the Country of Peace with a good foundation.
Integrating the region, restoring people's livelihoods, and purging instability, especially since the World Government's spies were eliminated in the past year, plus the defense line made by Ember and others, the Country of Peace doesn't need to care about the World Government now. Instead, there are more things to do, because they don't have to be restrained in doing things. Similar propaganda has to follow and cultivate similar teachers, and then select Marines from these temporary learners.
Economy, military, education. He had too many things to do. After all, this is a country, and it is a big country. Although the territory is not as big as Alabasta, it is not a desert. There are not so many extra wastelands. Every inch of land is useful.
Thinking of this, Crowe felt that his head was full of wind. Recently, when he was combing his hair, he could bring a handful of hair with him. That was all worrying. But after seeing his hair, he had one more thing to worry about.
Guess why he recently grew his hair and kept it slicked back.
He just didn't want people to know that he was about to become extremely smart.
In contrast, Miss Leda was much more comfortable as an adjutant.
Eat, drink, play and have fun every day…
It made Crowe doubt his life at times. He and Leda are both Mr. Kuro's permanent adjutant. Logically speaking, they have to share the burden.
What happened to the two first lieutenants?
Other people's deputy officials are separated, and his side is also separated.
As an adjutant, it is the adjutant's right to eat and drink in various places in the palanquin, but it is his responsibility.
Being an underling is tough.
Now, Mr. Kuro directly took credit for it. How could he be reasonable?
All bosses in the world are the same.
Kuro thought of something and said, "It's the New Year, um… Marine, make a list for those who have made achievements, promote them, and don't lose people."
"Yes, I will do it well," said Crowe.
The Kano Country's Marine is different from Headquarters.
Because a large number of pirates are isolated from the World Government and the Country of Peace, the higher-ups can only give him the right to recruit soldiers. As for promotion, it is basically through him or Crowe, and then he can report to Headquarters.
Marines here are not connected to the Headquarters. The only area where they can move is the area on the side of the Country of Peace. The base of the island under the waterfall is basically an outpost. Marines who go out to train will arrive there and fight pirates.
Of course, this is not perfect because the people of the Country of Peace have always been in closed-door cultivation. Once they suddenly go out, they will suffer a lot of temptations, especially because the time of education is too short and the cultivation methods of the people of the Country of Peace are relatively advanced. Each of them has combat power, so many people go out and never come back.
The second half of the year was better, but in the first half of the year, 100 people went out and only 50 came back.
When he asked around, he found out that they were invited by pirates. They were either moved by their heroic ideals or tempted by their reckless life.
It was inevitable.
Mr. Kuro thinks this is normal. Be prepared for this and take your time.
Crowe himself came ashore as a pirate and could understand the fun of being a pirate. At first, he couldn't figure it out and even asked Kaz and Wilbur for help, but Kaz's words made sense to him.
"Pirates are not necessarily not justice. As long as it is justice, any identity is the same."
That's right, he can go ashore by himself. Anyway, as a pirate, he can be a pirate. As long as the education is tight and the justice is remembered in their hearts, there is nothing wrong with being a pirate.
In fact, it was just as Kaz said. Those who went out to be pirates never attacked the Country of Peace. There was no news in the newspaper about anyone attacking civilians. They basically dealt with other pirates. Many people who went out of the Country of Peace directly overthrew their Captain or went out to do it alone.
And these pirates can actually be contacted. Some of them even suddenly understand something and want to come back after exploring the sea.
Although the pirates can't come back, it doesn't mean that they are not another force on their side.
Moreover, if more pirates go out, it will make the World Government increase their efforts on this side and let them know that the Country of Peace is not Mr. Kuro's Country of Peace. If they do not achieve absolute dominance, they will be at ease.
Although Mr. Kuro's lazy appearance is actually enough to reassure people, what's wrong with increasing the intensity?
After all, their Marine basically only belongs to Mr. Kuro. They only know about Mr. Kuro and not the World Government. Most importantly, their military ranks are common because they are still in the Headquarters. Once the time is right…
These trained people can enter the Marine and take up important positions, plus those pirates…
As long as the time is right!
Mr. Kuro must have understood this, so he didn't care about the people of the Country of Peace going out to be pirates.
"I'm back!"
Suddenly, the barrier of the hall door was pushed open and Leda skipped in with big and small bags.
