The soldiers were taken to rest by the navy. After all, although Lida's ability could heal, there was nothing she could do about hunger and mental fatigue.
In Kuro's opinion, that soldier had basically reached the edge of collapse. Although he had recovered his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to last long if he didn't get a good rest.
As for this period of time...
At this time, he had arrived at the hillside to the north of the village.
The hillside is bare, with no vegetation at all. A little further down the hillside, there are dense mines extending diagonally upward, and there are some signs of life.
There were people mining here before, but because there were so many mines, Gervase and the others probably didn’t know which ones they were.
Kuro didn't know either.
But, it doesn’t matter.
He stretched out his hand and gave the hillside a heavy shake.
"Lion Power·Earth Scroll!"
rumble...
With the sound, the surroundings vibrated, and the terrain of the hillside was changing, twisting and converging from the surroundings to the center. The hillside and even the entire ground below were condensed into a rough stone pillar, and at the top, a mighty lion head.
"Spit it out!"
Kuro turned his hand upwards, and the lion's head changed shape and opened its mouth toward the sky. Stones with irregular shapes, emitting red edges and green dots under the sunlight, spit out from the lion's mouth, heading straight towards the sky. The sky flies away.
With the control strength of his current ability, if he wants to find the differences among the rocks, it shouldn't be too easy.
The bomb rock vein hidden under the hillside was pulled out bit by bit by Kuro until he could no longer feel anything different from the rock, and the lion's head could no longer reveal the bomb rock.
"Don't waste it either."
Looking at the large stone lions gathered together, Kuro lifted his fingers upwards, and heard a 'bang' sound. The hillside was uprooted from its roots and rose towards the sky, leaving behind a flat surface as if it had been run over by a steamroller. Same ground.
Kuro chewed his cigar and blew out the smoke, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "The weather is very good, and the harvest is good."
While Kuro was gathering people's wool, he was on the other side of Corfu Island, in a slightly empty place. A group of people gathered there. One of them was sitting on a big rock, his body like a mountain of meat. As he kicked the corpse in front of him away, waves of flesh billowed from his body.
"The Kingdom of Korf is originally a country of pirates. That boy from Aquitaine still wants to join the World Government. What a shame!"
While Roshan was talking, he smoked the cigarette rod in his mouth, and smoke came out of his nose like an arrow.
"Lord Xie Lidan! Why don't we go to Stone King City and capture this country!"
One pirate proposed very excitedly, which aroused the echo of the surrounding pirates.
"Yes, let's go to Stone King City! Lord Xie Lidan can also rule this country!"
"That's right, how can the Korff family still rule this kingdom after having enslaved us for so long?"
"I am an outsider, but I heard that the Kingdom of Korf is a country of pirates, not a country of slaves, and it is not a member of the World Government. Pirates also have the pride of being pirates!"
"Occupy the country!"
"That's right, take over this country!"
Facing the shouts of the pirates, the man named Xie Lidan took a long puff from the pipe. As the smoke erupted, his expression was obscured by the smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.
A picture appeared inexplicably in my mind.
It was on a pirate ship on the sea, an ordinary young man asked a handsome and thin young man.
"Xie Lidan, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Me?" The handsome young man was stunned for a moment and said, "Well... when I retire, I will go back to Corfu Island, find a woman, get married, have children, and start a family."
The ordinary young man smiled, and his teeth looked very white under the sunlight: "Getting married and having children is such a lofty dream. I have decided to implement your dream on Corfu Island when I inherit the throne in the future!"
The handsome young man shook his head fiercely: "No, no, no, Noadi, I am not noble at all. I am just a normal man's retirement life. You are the future king of Korf and the king of the pirate country. How can you implement this? Such a dream."
"A country of pirates..."
The ordinary young man raised his head, murmured this word, then shook his head and said: "Sheridan, the Kingdom of Korf has lost many lives because of this name. Although we are also pirates, if possible, there is still peace. A little bit is good, times will change, even that Rocks may be defeated..."
"Are you kidding? That's Rocks!" The handsome young man didn't believe it at all.
But the result of the fact is that Rocks was really defeated, defeated by a navy named "Garp".
"It's not just Garp!"
After receiving the news, Noadi asserted: "Remember, the boy wearing a straw hat who met us before, Roger! He also participated in the war, and Rocks must have been defeated by him. Sheridan, times are changing. !”
"How is that possible? That's not a rumor. That's just a young boy. How could he have such ability?" Sheridan didn't believe it at all at the time.
At that time, Roger was just a newcomer who had just gone out to sea and was somewhat famous, and he did not yet have the name of the famous 'Pirate King' in the future.
But by the time he became known as the Pirate King, there were not many days left before he was arrested.
But at that time, Sheridan did not wait for the news of Roger's arrest. He was caught first.
Then when he came out again, as soon as he set foot on this land, the already old Noadi led his troops to surround him.
"Times have changed, Sheridan."
That cold look and voice still linger to this day.
As the smoke dissipated from his face, Xie Lidan opened his eyes, looked at the pirates, and shouted: "Okay!!"
He stood up, looked in the direction of Stone King City, and said: "Then take over this country! Return to the pride of the country of pirates!"
Noaadi...
Sorry to me first!
"oh!!!"
The pirates cheered.
Several of the pirates looked at each other and smiled.
They are also old pirates. When Noadi came to power twenty years ago, they were captured by Noadi and became slaves for more than twenty years.
But as soon as the Straw Hats arrived and defeated Noadi, they were liberated, but they did not choose to sail.
With their strength and age, they would definitely not be able to compete with the new generation if they sailed again, so they simply stayed here.
They know everything about this country. With so many pirates left behind, if they gather together, they can also capture this country!
Moreover, they also have a great killer, Lord Xie Lidan, who escaped from Impel Down and was a very famous pirate more than 20 years ago.
'The Immortal' Xie Lidan.
Besides, there is such a thing as Bomb Rock. As long as they use Lord Sheridan's name and Bomb Rock, they can still become famous on Korf Island.
