Without waiting for Kuro to have any doubts, after Sakasugi called, another explanation came.
The Gorōsei personally called.
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will see what I can do."
Kuro listened to Den Den Mushi's explanation and nodded casually.
"Well, Kuro, we are at ease with your work. Don't listen to Sakasugi's nonsense. You don't need to do anything there. Guard the Country of Peace well. This is your first task."
With that, Den Den Mushi hung up.
Kuro swung the microphone and leaned back in his chair with a sigh. "Did you hear everything?"
In front of him were Leda, Crowe, and Moore, who were all listening.
"The allied countries were destroyed by the Revolutionary Army?"
Leda was spitting grape skin and mimicking Kuro's pout. "That's really scary."
Blue veins popped out on Kuro's forehead and he roared, "Don't make such an expression! Who did you learn it from? It's not good!"
"It is indeed a little scary."
Moore scratched his head and thought for a while and said, "This feeling is like entering halfway, but someone went in first. This feeling… Hiss, there is a subtle feeling. I don't know if it feels good."
Kuro glared at him. "If you're fine, go to sleep!"
How can this person die without opening his mouth!
"You tell me!"
Kuro pointed directly at Crowe, causing Crowe's body to tremble. He had a hunch that if he couldn't explain himself, he might be unlucky.
No, I have to be more confident and take the 'possibility' away!
"Mr. Kuro, it is obvious that Marshal Sakasugi has received orders from above and has also sorted out the situation. If you retreat, it is not good for you to stay behind in the New World, so he asked you to retreat."
"I'm not asking you to do an overview, I want you to come up with a solution!"
Kuro scolded, "Aren't you a think tank! Analyze the problem and solve the problem! You can't ask me to throw away my cape and say, 'There is a limit to being a Marine, so I won't be a Marine anymore!'"
These words made Crowe open his eyes and touch his chin. He was actually seriously considering it. "It's not impossible…"
"Huh?" Kuro stared.
"No, Mr. Kuro, what I mean is that although it is not considered, it is indeed a solution," said Crowe quickly.
This is really true. With Mr. Kuro's current strength and reputation, as long as he goes up to the top and stops being a Marine, there will immediately be countless pirates coming to seek refuge. In that case, the pirates led by Ember don't need to hide anymore.
At that time, there will only be one Marine Emperor in the New World!
But this kind of thing is definitely impossible. If he directly tore off the cloak, he would have already gone against the World Government.
Wait …
Against the World Government?
Crowe's eyes narrowed and gradually became sharp.
They have a chance now!
Marines are all at the front line and they are behind the enemy. The World Government side is empty and suitable for doing things!
Moreover, the last time they had a Spider Meeting, they talked about this. Did Kaz or Wilbur do something? The Revolutionary Army made a move at this time for no reason. Whether it was a coincidence or not, there was no reason to let go of this opportunity.
Mr. Kuro asked him to think of a way not only because he did not want to let go of the Country of Peace, but also because of this!
Recently, I have been troubled by the matter of the Country of Peace, and I did not understand Mr. Kuro's meaning at the first time. I was really… lazy!
He looked at Kuro's murderous eyes and said, "Mr. Kuro, I don't think you need to worry at all. Even if Marshal Sakasugi insists on going back, you will continue to maintain the battle line, but the battle line will be shortened."
"Mr. Kuro, you can gather your men and familiar kings, especially David, and let them fight in the battle to maintain the battle line without letting the New World pirates think that Marines are retreating."
"But the pirates will definitely get the news about this, but with their nature, they will be in chaos themselves. The New World is a chaotic place. They joined forces because of our coercion, and they will attack each other by themselves."
"Yes?"
Kuro thought for a moment and nodded. "What you said makes sense. Then let's wait and see for the time being. There's no need to move forward now. If we can't find Tiki and Straw Hat, there's no point in moving forward."
There is indeed no priority solution for this kind of thing. They are only a small group and it is too dangerous without a front line.
As for the method that Crowe mentioned… He hasn't considered it yet. If he really does it, it will really break with Marine. What will he be then? A permanent version of Zephyr?
"Yes, Mr. Kuro, I will give the order now."
Crowe responded and quickly went down to give the order. However, when he retreated, an excited smile appeared on his face.
If they were really ordinary Marines, then there would be three solutions. Kuro would gather Marines himself, or they would wait for defense in the Country of Peace, or they would retreat all the way as Sakasugi said.
But they are not!
They still have a lot of pirates!
In this all-out war, the pirates on his side basically did not move and gave up their territory to hide on the island along the road of Dressrosa and the force of the woman "Red" in the Country of Peace, but now they can come out.
The World Government wants to fight?
It's not that simple. If you don't fight, then force your way up!
Isn't Ember a native of the Red Earth Continent? Bring people and charge forward and force Mary Joa!
By spreading the flames of war to that side and forcing the World Government to place the main force on this end, if the World Government still wants to take care of the countries that have joined them, then they can take the opportunity to destroy the New World when the Revolutionary Army stirs up trouble.
"When Cass and the others come, we'll confirm and figure it out. If it works…"
Crowe laughed in a low voice. "We're not that easy to talk to. If the world is in chaos, it's possible for the countries in the New World to take the initiative to attack in order to protect themselves. David and others can also untie the shackles of the World Government. No, they can even walk side by side. This battle line is not something that the World Government can shrink at will. Once the war ends, no one can control the overall situation!"
Retreat?
Where to retreat to.
Against the Revolutionary Army, they will not care about the pirates, and against the pirates, it will be difficult to care about the Revolutionary Army. If they block both sides, the World Government will have even less energy to pay attention to everything.
They would only have a chance if they muddy the water!
Moreover, this is the most suitable opportunity for now!
If Crowe didn't seize this opportunity, he would really not be worthy of being Mr. Kuro's think tank!
Once successful, then Mr. Kuro's ideal, his own ideal…
"Uh…"
Crowe's footsteps stopped and he stopped there with a strange expression. "Why did I join the Marine?"
The more he thought about it, the stranger his expression became. In the end, he sighed and strode forward.
"Forget it!"
