Behind the New World.
Boom!!
A thick laser cannon fired from the surface of the sea and hit an island in front of it. In the huge sound of destruction, the middle of the island was plowed, leaving only the islands on both sides and the turbulent sea in the middle.
The laser light fell and a golden ship appeared on the sea.
Inside the Golden Lion.
"Oh? This thing…"
Moore raised his hand through the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out. He said in surprise, "The two petals are leaking water in the middle, flooding and slippery…"
Kuro, who was sitting in the main seat, rolled his eyes and cursed, "If you don't have anything to do, go to sleep! You wake up every day and say something. There are children here!"
"Children?"
Leda, who was picking up a bunch of grapes to try, stuck her head out and said, "Where are the children? Baohuang is not here."
Crowe looked at the island through the telescope for a while, then turned his head and said, "Mr. Kuro, it's almost cleared. There are still some surviving pirates. Do you want to arrest them?"
"Kuro, try this, it's delicious!"
After Leda tasted the grapes, her eyes lit up and she picked one and put it in his mouth.
"Is it?"
Kuro opened his mouth and let Leda stuff it in. After chewing twice, he spat out the grape skin and nodded. "It's not bad."
Then, he said to Crowe, "We don't have time. Send power to Cass and Wilbur. Aren't they on the way? Let them drive along our route and catch them if they can. If the plot is serious, kill them. If it's not, let them go."
"Yes, Mr. Kuro, I'll get on the phone immediately." Crowe responded and took out a small Den Den Mushi and ran to the side to make a call.
After Kid and Law died, they had been walking around here for a week. Some of the pirates that Kuro had captured from Law's main island did the same thing because he only had one ship, which meant that he had to take prisoners along the way. He didn't have to fight anymore, so he might as well play the game of escorting prisoners.
The mission that he had accepted was the four main bodies. Perhaps some of the Silver medalists in the surrounding areas could also do it. The Pirates were like that. Once the backbone is gone, it should be gone. Who has the time to care about those nobodies?
There are so many pirates in the sea, and they are all caught except for the bottom of the sea.
"Rawr …"
The Den Den Mushi on the desk rang loudly. The sleeping Den Den Mushi woke up and made a sound.
"Lida," Kuro called.
Leda curled her lips and got off the sofa. She muttered, "Don't you have a messenger? Why did I answer the phone in the end?"
Moore, the Marine who was in charge of the 'Messenger', had just been promoted from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel some time ago, but he was still the same. He did not do proper work and he was often not seen. Occasionally, he would come out and yawn.
Annoying and annoying.
Is it really as he said, finding an iron rice bowl to make a living?
Don't ask. If you ask, you will comfort the lost girl's mind, relieve the worries of the lonely big sister, and explore the heart path of the lost young woman. There are all kinds of reasons. The only common point is that Moore often doesn't have enough money, and if he doesn't have enough money, he will look for Kuro. Although Kuro is cursing, he still gives the money.
Sometimes Leda felt that Kuro was more tolerant of him than she was.
Is it really just a homosexual attraction?
As she muttered, Leda walked to the desk and stood on tiptoe to take down the microphone. "Moximossi, this is Vice Admiral Leda."
Den Den Mushi's expression gradually turned into the face of a bold Predator biting a cigar and making a low and hoarse voice:
"White whale? Give the phone to Kuro, I am Sakasugi."
Veins popped out on Lida's forehead and she shouted angrily, "It's Hao Die! It's Hao Die! You…"
She was about to throw the microphone down, but Kuro directly grabbed it and pressed Leda's head and said, "Moximossi, Marshal, looking for me?"
"Ah…"
Den Den Mushi exhaled a long smoke and said slowly, "Come back."
These words not only stunned Kuro, but also everyone else present.
After a long time, a question mark appeared on Kuro's head and he said in a questioning tone, "Ah?"
'Back?'
Go back to where…
"Don't you understand? I asked you to come back." Sakasugi said in a deep voice.
"Wait, wait…"
Kuro let go of Leda, who was also stunned. He pushed forward and asked, "You mean, you want me to go back? Not fight pirates anymore?"
There was a moment of silence on the other side and he continued, "Because of some special circumstances, you will retreat to Mariwando."
These words made Kuro laugh directly. He sat back on the main seat with one foot still on the armrest and teased, "What's the matter, Mary Joa is broken? Who's so powerful? Doraga? Tiki? Or Straw Hat? You don't want the Country of Peace anymore and you want to leave?"
"This is an order, Kuro."
Den Den Mushi said in a deep voice: "You are Marine, you have to follow orders, you don't have to worry about other things!"
Kuro raised his eyebrows. "No, I'm a general, right? Marshal Sakasugi, I respect you, so you can usually make the decision on anything, but this kind of thing doesn't make sense. If I retreat when you ask me to, what about my hard work there for the past year?"
These words made Crowe, who was stunned by Sakasugi's words, react and he pursed his lips.
You still have heart blood?
If you have the slightest intention, you can't say this!
Kuro seemed to be uncomfortable and continued, "I risked my life to break into the Country of Peace and kill two emperors in a row. How can I settle this score? Yes, I was lucky to pick up the leftovers, but if I was unlucky, then I would have to fight hard. I might have to leave something there. Even if I don't have any credit, I have to work hard. If I leave just because you tell me to, where will I put my face!"
Not to mention the transformation of the Country of Peace in the past year, he has already taken root here, so don't even think about making him move!
How many nests has he moved!
Moving from the East China Sea to the Grand Line, from the Grand Line to the West Blue, and then to the Grand Line. Every time he ran to a place and just got used to it, he was immediately called away.
Even without mentioning the transformation and business here for more than a year, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter this kind of natural retirement base. It is just that the location is good, the terrain is good, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Thinking of this, Kuro said excitedly, "I'm leaving East Blue, I'm leaving Moe Island, I'm leaving Pegasus Island, I'm leaving Sabaody Archipelago! This time I won't leave, I won't leave even if I'm beaten to death!"
"How can it be fixed!!"
Den Den Mushi was furious. "No matter what you think, you must obey orders, that's all! If you don't listen, you will suffer the consequences!"
**TIP**
There was a crisp sound on the Den Den Mushi's side and then a busy tone.
Kuro also shook off the microphone, stood up and pointed at the Den Den Mushi and said, "Is there something wrong with this old guy? He fought well and now he's telling me to retreat. Doesn't he know the consequences of this retreat? I'm already starting to take the initiative to do things, and he wants to mess with me at this time?"
With that, he paused and looked at Crowe and said with uncertainty, "Marjoya has been breached?"
Crowe shook his head like a rattle and broke out in a cold sweat. "We don't… No, I mean, we don't have any news on this."
Kuro picked up a cigar and bit it in his mouth. After lighting it up, he exhaled the smoke and said in confusion, "Strange, what happened up there? Otherwise, why would this old man ask me to retreat? If I say 'retreat', he will burn my skin."
"Should we retreat, Mr. Kuro?" asked Crowe.
Kuro said angrily, "Are you also fucking crazy? If we retreat now, won't everything be useless? When the time comes, the pirates will make a bigger fuss. Oh, the newspaper is so propaganda, I am a Marine Hero and the Terminator of Time, and now I'm going home. Even if I'm a coward, I'm not such a coward."
He continued to curse, "Why didn't he say it earlier, he should have said it earlier, he should have said it earlier! If he knew that he was going to withdraw, he shouldn't have let me go to the Country of Peace. Wouldn't it be over if he just watched the show? Damn it, he went in and still wants me to withdraw. That doesn't exist! Ignore him and act as usual. He doesn't want to fight? I'll fight!"
"Yes! Mr. Kuro."
Crowe pushed up his glasses with the base of his palm, and the lenses reflected light. No one knew what he was thinking.
On the warships on the front line of the New World.
Sakasugi threw away the microphone that he had melted and his breath was hot. He gritted his teeth and said, "This kid is too arrogant!"
"As expected."
As if he had expected it, Crane said, "He's right. It's impossible for him to spit out the territory he has taken down. You know Kuro's character. Since he has settled down in the Country of Peace, he won't spit out his territory so easily. As for dealing with pirates…"
Crane glanced at Sakasugi. "Isn't that what you admire about him?"
Sakasugi smiled when he heard this, but it quickly collapsed. He had returned to the office at this time, and he subconsciously leaned back and said in a deep voice, "Then… let the battle continue!"
Crane's eyes narrowed. "You want to take responsibility?"
"I am the Marshal!"
Sakasugi seemed to have made up his mind and his eyes gradually became firm. "My subordinates want to destroy the Pirate Era. As a Marshal, how can I give up!"
Bang!
His burning red fist punched the newly replaced office table again, burning a hole in the desk.
From Sakasugi's mouth came the most determined voice: "The era of pirates must be destroyed! The battle must continue, for this reason… even if I lose the position of Marshal!"
Crane sighed and glanced at Sakasugi before looking at the sea through the window. "This sea, I don't know how many people have retreated. It's time for me to go down."
She stood up and walked out. "You can deal with them from above. I'm not an old woman. As for Kuro, I'll communicate with him specifically. You just had a fight, so it's probably not appropriate."
Sakasugi did not say a word. As Crane left, he was left sitting alone at the desk that was burned by the fire. The flames illuminated his face and his pupils, as if the flames had been sucked in…
