"Um?"
While the fierce battle was going on on the bridge, Kuro suddenly felt something and looked towards a certain place in the sea.
"Huh? Is something coming?"
Lida also felt something keenly, followed Kuro's gaze, and then opened her eyes wide: "There is a ship, how can an unmanned ship come here!"
"The boat..."
Kuro blew out a puff of smoke, smiled, and said no more.
To be honest, he had never seen such a thing as a ship spirit. Looking at the ship with an alpaca on its bow, he couldn't tell much about it.
For Kuro, boats are tools, and he has never seen a boat spirit.
Everyone on the bridge suddenly jumped down and landed on the boat accurately.
"Bombardment! Bombardment!"
The lieutenant general on the ship shouted angrily, but when the gun barrel was aimed at the Meili, the ship vibrated, causing the entire orbit to shift. Several large ships gradually approached each other.
"The door of justice has been closed! The current has reappeared!"
"Damn it, why is the door of justice closed!"
"Don't let the Straw Hats escape!"
boom! ! !
The small boat surrounded by huge warships flew inexplicably into the sky and shot into the sky. It escaped the rotating sea current and sailed all the way.
Crowe stared at the Golden Meri flying out with a complicated expression, "Can you escape from this situation...?"
It was the same back in Xiluobu Village. That straw hat kept causing miracles. Along the way, it grew even faster.
He pushed up his glasses and thought to himself: "I will definitely settle this debt with you!"
"Ah, this is really..."
Suddenly, a voice sounded on the deck.
"General Qing Pheasant!"
"It's General Qing Pheasant!"
Kuzan?
Kuro looked over subconsciously.
A tall man wearing a white shirt appeared there, staring at the ship going away, scratching his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
It's really him.
Kuro turned around, his back facing Aokiji.
You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person."
A navy commander of a warship said in panic: "We will definitely continue to pursue, we will definitely destroy the Straw Hat Pirates, and capture Nico Robin, an important criminal. Please approve the support fleet and the recruitment of soldiers."
Aoki glanced at him, then at Stoloberg who said nothing, and shook his head:
"Forget it, the Demon-Slaying Order has been used, the tragic situation on Judiciary Island, and the escape of Straw Hat... It is undeniable that we failed. I will explain this matter to the higher ups, and let's end it like this. "
As he said that, he looked at Kuro who was on the deck and was about to sneak away.
"As expected, it's you. I came here just because I saw your face, Lucilu Kuro."
damn!
Kuro twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around, and said with a very serious expression: "I have heard about the name for a long time, General Qing Pheasant."
"you know?"
Stoloberg looked at Aokiji curiously.
"Ah...Didn't this person tell you? He is a direct subordinate of Porusalino." Aokiji said.
"oh?"
Stoloberg looked at Kuro in surprise.
He has no impression of this navy. Would General Kizaru accept such a person as his subordinate?
Does this person also have some kind of potential?
It looks ordinary.
Aoki looked at Stoloberg who didn't know anything and scratched his head: "Well, forget it."
He walked near Kuro, held his hand on the edge of the boat, and faced the sea: "The Straw Hats are now completely famous. The World Government will never sit idly by again. The old man is really troubled... You were there at the time, why?" Don’t stop them.”
"Huh? Me?"
Kuro pointed at himself in disbelief, then waved his hand: "Don't be ridiculous, I'm just a warrant officer."
Qingzhi glanced at him and said: "Stop joking, the first person Smoker told was me."
Kuro's eyelids were twitching. If there weren't so many people, he would have had a serious 'argument' with Aoki right now.
Aokiji is a high-level person, and he must know what Kizaru knows, and it took a long time to do it, but you are the source!
Kuro pouted, "Five lieutenants didn't stop him, so why should I stop him? Everyone believes in Rob Lucci so much, and so do I. Who knew that Straw Hat could defeat him?"
Qingzhi scratched his head: "Well, you seem to know something."
Kuro shrugged, everyone was paddling, who have the right to say anything about me.
Qingzhi said: "But I'm quite curious about you. It's hard to imagine that there are people like you in the navy. Do you want to go on a trip with me? Let's get in touch."
It’s hard to imagine that the Navy has someone like me?
It’s everywhere. Well, aren’t you ready-made?
Kuro looked at Aokiji and refused: "I don't have the time, I want to go back to my headquarters."
"Well, it's up to you, but I want to say that status is sometimes very important. Without status, it will be inconvenient to do many things."
Want to fool me?
Dream your dreams.
Crowley pretended not to hear.
Even if I, Kuro, die, jump off the boat in the Dead Sea, I will never get promoted!
Aokiji left on his little bicycle, and the Demon-Slaying Order's ship began to return to the headquarters. Clow also arrived at the headquarters on Stoloberg's ship.
After Stoloberg learned that Kuro was directly subordinate to Kizaru, his attitude became obviously much closer.
After arriving at the headquarters, Stoloberg said: "Curo, would you like to join my army? This will also help you earn some credit."
Stoloberg used to be a direct subordinate of Kizaru, so of course he wanted to get close to Kuro, who was also a direct subordinate.
Kuro shook his head and rattled, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. Admiral Kizaru has other plans for me."
Credit?
Is that thing edible?
Stoloberg didn't say much. General Kizaru had arrangements, so what else could he say.
After bidding farewell to Stoloberg, Kuro went straight to Kizaru's office.
Kizaru was drinking tea at this time. When he saw Kuro coming in, he pouted and said in surprise: "Oh, are you back? I heard about the Judiciary Island incident. The pirates nowadays are really scary. .”
The incident on Judiciary Island can be considered 'atrocious' even among the big pirates.
After all, in order to cover up the truth, the government put all the blame on the Straw Hats, so it was the Straw Hats who destroyed Judiciary Island.
And Straw Hat is completely famous in the world.
But...I have a rough relationship with Kuro.
Kuro got straight to the point: "I've done what you asked me to do, old man, but I still have my right to move freely."
"Well, I will definitely do what I promised, but I have to congratulate you on something. You have been promoted."
Kizaru took out a stack of documents and handed them to Qrow.
Promotion...promotion?
Promotion? !
Kuro widened his eyes and took the document. He, Lu Xilu Kuro, was promoted one level, from warrant officer to second lieutenant.
From the rank of naval soldier, he was officially promoted to naval officer.
"What's going on? How did I get promoted? I didn't show anything on Judiciary Island."
Kuro has one head and two heads.
Organize civilian evacuation?
That's what the Navy should do.
Moreover, CP9 should have been blamed and disappeared now. Bruno didn't have time to file a report. Even if he did, it would be fine. That thing doesn't count as credit.
So, how did I get promoted?
