Moe Island has been taken over by Tina, and there is no point in Kuro staying here. The big fleet is gone anyway, and Tina's strength is enough to defend Moe Island.
But before leaving, he had something else to do.
"Tina."
"Um?"
"I think..."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I want you..."
Tina was stunned, looking at Kuro's serious expression, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Tina won't be able to bear it."
"Just satisfy me, please." Kuro clasped his hands together.
"Tina will be very tired."
"But I really need it. I really can't bear it without you."
"Okay, for the sake of your begging Tina, Tina will satisfy you."
…
So, she made the black gun for two days and sent it to Kuro.
This thing is actually very useful.
Unlike last time when he was sneaky, now that Kuro's fruit had been exposed, he didn't care anymore and blatantly used his ability to send a large number of black guns into the sky.
After doing all this, he said goodbye to Tina, and together with Kizaru, he took his subordinates and sailed to the headquarters.
In the office inside the warship.
"Oh~ It's so scary. Monkey D. Luffy is ringing the bell in Marineland. Pluto Rayleigh is accompanying him. Is that old guy unable to bear the urge to come out?"
Kizaru leaned on the chair and cut his nails while reading a newspaper on the table, "What are you doing in Marinevando at this time? Is it provocation? Kuro, what do you think they are going to do?"
Next to him, Qrow was lying on the sofa and shrugged noncommittally.
"Our main players are not here, so it was a good time to pick."
Akainu went to encircle and suppress the remaining pirates, Aoji went to deal with the aftermath, and the old man... was paddling here like himself. The three generals were not here, and the other main forces went to maintain stability in the world. The Straw Hat boy chose this one It was a good time to choose.
"The 3D was crossed out, and there was an extra 2Y...Day and Year. It was canceled after three days and became two years later. We will meet somewhere."
Qrow glanced at the newspaper and said, "That's probably what it means."
"Oh~ I think I'm not strong enough. Do you want to hibernate for a while? It's a good idea." Kizaru said in surprise, "Where do you think they will be?"
"How would I know to go? Besides, there is Pluto accompanying me. What can I do if I know about it? Now is not the time."
Except for Straw Hat, who still remembered being on Nine Snake Island, he really forgot about the rest.
And this kind of thing is nothing compared to the increasingly rampant pirates now. The Navy cannot waste its energy in such a place, let alone that troublesome guy Rayleigh.
For this kind of thing, just be surprised and no one will care.
At least the people from the Kizaru faction don't care much.
"Say, old man, you really don't feel it's a pity at all that you lost your qualification as marshal?"
Qrow asked Kizaru.
He couldn't even figure out how this old guy got so many nails to cut.
"It's surprising that you would ask me such a question."
Kizaru widened his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Well, it might be a pity, but I don't really want to argue with Sakaski. He is full of confidence. Sengoku-san didn't recommend him, but The government seems to have this in mind.”
Akainu is of course full of confidence. His performance in this war was the most outstanding, so he is naturally qualified in this regard.
"Old man, I heard that the relationship between General Aokiji and General Akainu is not very good." Kuro narrowed his eyes and tried.
"It's just different opinions. From the Navy's standpoint, it's still the same."
Kizaru paused and laughed: "Well, if Sakaski takes over, that boy Kuzan may not agree so easily. The internal struggle in the navy is so scary."
Not only would he not agree so easily.
What Kuro knows is that in a year, there will be a big battle between the two.
The winner comes on top, the loser retires.
This is a big shakeout.
After this reshuffle, Kuzan will leave. Although Kuzan doesn't like this very much, he still likes the world to maintain the status quo. Only by maintaining the status quo will he feel safe. There are turbulences and so on. That is not an ordinary dislike.
But it is impossible for him to control the thinking of a strong person.
"Actually, I don't like fighting very much, but if I come to power... Kuro, what do you think?"
Kizaru suddenly asked Kuro.
"Are you on top?"
Kuro sat up, lit a cigar, was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Master, if you want to do it, then I will be busy."
If the old man really wants to rise to power, Kuro will definitely help, and for this, he will need status.
When the time comes for the New World, he will go there no matter what.
"Oh~ You are indeed my favored subordinate. Unfortunately, I have been disqualified." Kizaru said with a smile.
"You don't think so either, right? That position is not easy to do." Kuro exhaled smoke and said.
"That's right. If I become a marshal, it will be very troublesome, and..." Kizaru shrugged, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.
He didn't need to say the rest, Kuro understood.
If the old man becomes the marshal, then Qingzhi will not run away, but it will also cause a problem. The navy's power will become more obedient than propaganda.
Aokiji is originally relatively lazy, and Akainu may not necessarily listen to Kizaru. If the three generals do their own thing, it will be difficult for the navy to handle it.
Although Kuro liked the atmosphere of clocking in to work, the Navy could already relax within these rules, so there was no need to undermine the enthusiasm of those radicals.
You destroy your pirates, I live my stable life, and when we need to fight in a unified way, I can help, and that's enough.
"Can I go back to the East China Sea this time?" Kuro asked.
"Why do you want to go to the East China Sea so much, Kuro?"
Of course it was to escape the dangerous place of the Grand Line and return home to be happy.
But he couldn't say this.
"Old man, pirates are rampant in the four seas now. The military strength of our headquarters is not enough. As a navy, I am in the right position. Isn't it just right to station in the four seas to curb the pirates?"
Kuro said sternly: "One Piece once appeared in the East China Sea, and now there is a pirate like Straw Hat Boy. You see, the incidents caused by pirates in the East China Sea are not small. As a navy, I am also very familiar with my hometown. Go back Isn’t it just right?”
Yes, it is like that.
It's definitely not because the pirates in the East China Sea are weak. No matter how much they catch, it's harder to get promoted than in the Grand Line. That's definitely not the case.
"Well, I will report it to Sengoku-san." Kizaru said.
"Then it's settled, old man, you continue to cut your nails, and I'll go fishing."
Kuro stood up with a cigar in his mouth and walked out.
Snapped.
After cutting the last nail, Kizaru put down the nail clippers, picked up the newspaper again, and read it again. It took a long time before he made a sound.
"It's so scary..."
