"Zefa?"
These words made Kebi stunned, "Who is Zefa?"
"You guys go out first."
Garp said to Kerby: "I want to talk to Kuro alone."
"yes."
Kebi and Bellumeb responded and went out first.
Crow also waved his hand, motioning for Lida and Crow to go out first.
After they all went out, Garp took a sip of tea slowly, then picked up the senbei and took a bite. Only then did he react and said to Kuro: "Do you want to eat it? It tastes good!"
Aren’t you talking about Zefa?
Qrow tugged at the corner of his mouth, suppressing the desire to roar, and said: "What's going on."
"What? Oh, Zefa...he quit the navy. Hahahaha. An old man quits the navy. He wants to wipe out pirates all over the world and set up a new navy by himself."
Garp laughed so hard that he nearly burst into tears.
"You seem to be older than him, Mr. Karp."
Kuro glanced at Garp who was laughing, and squinted slightly. He hadn't seen this old man for so long, and the white hair on his head had completely changed. It used to be white with a bit of color, but now it's white and dull, similar to gray. .
Have you exhausted your energy...
Facing Kuro's gaze, Garp's smile disappeared little by little. He gently put down the senbei in his hand, and his expression became serious.
"The reason why he quit the navy is because the pirate who killed his students ten years ago was recruited by the World Government and became the Shichibukai. You have heard about it, after all, Porusalino has been here before."
"Well, I know that guy, Whitebeard II."
Kuro scratched his head in annoyance, "I also patrolled the West Sea, but couldn't find it."
During this period, he had of course patrolled the West China Sea. After all, Zefa was the one who taught him, and he still had to show his affection. To be honest, such an old man in his 70s and 80s resigned from the navy alone. How could he create a new navy and return the favor with his old body? Kuro couldn't bear to break into the business.
But he didn't find it.
The ocean is so big, and he has no information about the World Government, so where can he find it?
The old man has not been found, let alone himself.
"World Government...really, do some human work." Kuro sighed.
"So, I feel a little bored. It just so happens that you haven't returned to the headquarters, so I accompanied Kebi and the others to find you. After all, your island is very famous now, as an island of hot springs and singing and dancing."
Kuro bit his cigar, smiled, and said, "You can stay as long as you want. I don't have anything else here, but I have a lot of fun."
He had not lived these eight months in vain.
Since we have started to develop Pegasus Town, we should develop it to the end. Since the last time Old K from Shuangma Kingdom sent people here, Pegasus Island has shown vitality. Because of the population, many hot spring-related buildings can be built very quickly. , and because of the peace, businessmen began to come nearby, which caused a wave of publicity.
However, originally Kuro just wanted to build a hot spring, but half of the kabuki from the Twin Horse Kingdom came here and insisted on performing singing and dancing here. Over time, this island became an island of hot springs and singing and dancing.
Of course, the environment is the most important thing when it comes to development. In the West Sea, where mafia is everywhere, there is no business without charging protection fees. The key is that it is the affairs of various countries. The world government cannot control it, and it is quite legal. But Kuro is different. It was this aspect that he struck first.
Although Pegasus Island has experienced the trauma of war and does not have this thing in the first place, Kuro will not let it breed. Only with a peaceful environment can there be a foundation for development.
As Pegasus Island became more and more prosperous and the flow of people increased, the town's area was no longer enough. With a wave of his hand, Kuro let Lida take a stake and began to expand.
The main way of cooperation is that she pays, Kuro opens the mouth, and each person shares half of the dividend. The main way to make money is to collect rent. After all, he does not know how to do business, but he can rent out the built buildings to others for business.
Of course, Crowe is in charge of this matter.
Although there is not much money shortage in the navy, Kuro would not object to having more money, so that he could live more comfortably.
Like now, this is Kuro's ultimate dream.
The town has developed, and there are all kinds of entertainment and restaurants. Now he eats and drinks from his superiors. When he gets up every day, he takes a walk to inspect his property. When he is hungry, he finds a high-end restaurant to have something to eat. Look at the singing and dancing.
Because he was a big landowner, he didn't pay for the food he ate, but he wanted to pay, but the shopkeepers didn't want his money. As time went by, Clow gave up on it.
Days like this are simply not fun.
It's just a pity that he didn't date any beautiful women. He could see her when he saw her, but every time he saw her, she disappeared when he wanted to date her, and then Lida appeared, which was a bit strange.
"Hahaha, you're welcome, but Kuro, I can take a vacation here, but you have to go back and report on your work."
Garp said to Kuro: "I'm either busy or not answering your phone calls. If your subordinates didn't answer the phone from time to time, the headquarters would have thought that something happened to you on Pegasus Island."
"Which of my subordinates?" Kuro stared.
His first reaction was Cass. This bearded man had been promoted to a rank because he had killed too many pirates, and was now a major.
"Clo, isn't he your adjutant?" Garp returned.
Qrow twitched the corner of his mouth, he had forgotten this.
A general naval branch base has a base commander as standard, basically with the rank of colonel, but there are also lieutenant colonel and brigadier general.
The two adjutants basically have the rank of lieutenant colonel, but this varies from person to person. The idiot Smoker was in Rogge Town back then, and the adjutant Dasqi was only a sergeant.
Crow's adjutants are Lida and Crowe, and Lida basically doesn't do anything, so there is only one adjutant, and that is Crowe.
In order not to go to the headquarters to report on work and get promoted, he made up his mind to put it off as long as he could, and just muddle through when the call came.
Either I'm busy today, or I'm going to fight pirates tomorrow.
Anyway, not going.
In the end, he didn't bother to answer the phone, leaving it all to Crowe, who was the adjutant.
Later, the headquarters stopped calling him. He was still glad that the headquarters had forgotten about him, but...
Here comes such an old man who is difficult to send away.
"Is it okay if I don't go? I feel unwell. I've been too tired from collecting pirates recently. I want to take a vacation."
It's best to sleep here.
"Hahahaha, I don't care, that's Kebi's business." Garp waved his hand, picked up the senbei again and started eating.
"But you still have to go back. The Warring States Period asked me when I came, saying that I would take you back no matter what. If you don't report on your duties, the World Government will have objections."
Kuro pursed his lips, looked at Garp, and said solemnly: "Give me a chance."
"ah?"
Garp was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Kuro said, and asked: "How can I give you a chance?"
"Actually, I want to do a good job... No, I want to be stationed on Pegasus Island and not go anywhere. I don't even want to go to the headquarters. I just want to be a colonel."
"Hahahaha, go talk to the headquarters and see if he agrees to you. Besides, this is not my mission, this is Kebi's mission. I was just asked to take you back." Garp laughed. .
"So there's no need to discuss it?" Qrow straightened up and said fiercely.
"Yeah, no need to discuss." Garp nodded.
"OK!"
Kuro sat back with a depressed expression.
He doesn't care about the old man, he just goes back to report on his duties. He will come back after completing his duties.
He has been calm for more than eight months. According to the situation, it is not a problem to continue to be safe.
