Four months later.
Headquarters.
In Kuro's own office.
Lida pointed to that day's "World Economic News" and said with great interest: "Hey, Kuro, look at this, this person is the 'Emperor'!"
Kuro was chewing his cigar and swinging around on the table with his legs crossed. Hearing this, he was slightly startled, "Emperor? Four Emperors? Another one? Why, Teach was killed by someone?"
"Probably not..."
At this time, Crowe, who was standing next to him, pushed up his glasses, also had a newspaper in his hand, and said: "It's just a self-proclaimed one, but it's very interesting..."
Not long after he came back, the undercover Sword members who were involved in some key inspections were finished, and the rest was left to other Sword teams and CP to work together.
"Let me see, who is the emperor?"
Crow waved, and Crow handed the newspaper to Crow.
Kuro picked it up and took a look, only to see a huge headline on the front page of today's "World Economic News": ['The Great' Faritael's 'His Majesty the Emperor' issued an order for the three countries to cease war and merge into one country. , returned to the rule of His Majesty the Emperor! 】
Below is a photo of what appears to be a handwritten document. There is a crooked seal at the bottom of the document. It seems that the workmanship of the seal is not very good.
The content of the newspaper was to the general effect that a large country called Astraea had split into three countries and fell into civil war, and His Majesty Faratere was calling on people to stop the war and reunite as one.
There's nothing wrong with this?
Kuro raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this normal? How come something like this can be on the front page? Morgans has nothing to write about, right?"
Crowe, on the other hand, was stunned and asked: "Mr. Crowe, don't you know 'Emperor' Faritel?"
"I know what he does. What, if I know, can he give me money or something?" Kuro said angrily: "Don't give me riddles, tell me what this man does."
"I only found out recently that this person is a legend, um... a joke."
Crowe said: "Faritel is a civilian, but ten years ago, he suddenly called himself the 'Emperor'. No one knew anything at the time, but later he promulgated the Emperor's decree locally and even directly conveyed it to several splinter groups. On the king's side, the kings were very angry and prepared to arrest Faritel, but they were not caught. Instead, they were stopped by the residents of the local city. After the soldiers went there once, they no longer continued to attack the French. Reitel continued the arrest, which caused a sensation at the time, and the World Economic News reported it at the time, but everyone regarded it as a joke."
"Later, the Emperor Faratere often issued decrees, often with some ridiculous things, but most of them were better. The kingdom of Astraea, this continental island, was multi-ethnic. In order to improve some Regarding the racial situation, Farateil issued a similar decree, which was ignored by the three kingdoms, but the city where he was located strictly implemented it, but the city was not in rebellion, and His Majesty the Emperor Farateil There was no call for soldiers or anything, just spontaneous improvement of the city, and in the end, the title of 'Emperor' of Faritael was passed down."
"Such an emperor..."
Kuro thought for a while, then glanced at the newspaper, "The three countries don't have any means?"
"No, the soldiers sent will not actually arrest him, and they have not violated the laws of the local country, so nothing has happened so far." Crowe said.
Qrow nodded and put down the newspaper, "That's quite interesting."
The title of emperor is not unheard of on the sea. Although many countries are 'kings', they also have emperors. The full name of the 'Four Emperors' is 'Emperor of the Sea', possessing unparalleled powerful combat power and dominance.
In addition, Hancock is also the emperor of Amazon Lily.
And calling himself emperor...
It doesn't seem to be illegal.
Look at the reward orders for pirates now. There are all kinds of weird ones. These are decided by the World Government and the Navy personally. So what if some people call themselves emperors? It's normal.
Button...
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Crowe said to that side.
The door was pushed open, and a navy man saluted and said: "Lieutenant General Kuro, Marshal Sakaski, please come over."
"Find me?"
Qrow was stunned, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I don't know." The navy man stood upright and replied.
"Okay, I understand." Qrow waved his hand, "I'll be there later."
"Yes!" The navy saluted again and retreated.
Seeing him leaving, Kuro frowned and said: "Why are you looking for me? What's the trouble? I've completed the task very well recently..."
Crowe twitched his lips, did you complete the task well?
Isn't that what he did?
"Quluo, you haven't been out for several months, right?" Lida asked.
"What do you mean not going out? Don't I go out occasionally? I took you to eat for nothing." Kuro retorted.
Then call out?
Didn’t that mean they didn’t even leave the headquarters?
Kuro rested in the headquarters for more than four months, slumped there like a salted fish every day, and occasionally went out to find places to eat. As a result, the restaurants behind the headquarters are now very familiar to Kuro.
Even Lida is a little anxious. Sometimes she takes a warship out to patrol and play, but he can stay there without fear of getting rusty.
Lida asked him before, but Kuro rolled his eyes in return, "What do you know? I'm finally idle here. What's wrong with me taking a break? Do you know how I got here in the past three years? Have I ever taken a break?" Yes, I rested for a while on Pegasus Island, but compared to me in the East China Sea, can that be called a rest? Can it be called a rest?!"
Those words were so arrogant that Lida rolled her eyes.
"Why is Marshal Sakaski looking for me? I have a headache..."
Kuro thought about the recent major events, and they seemed to be nothing major. The first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas were relatively stable. The pirates were still the same pirates, but the navy could survive. The five routes in the Shichibu Sea were on track. Although there were still seas The thieves arrived at Shampoo Land and escaped from the hands of the Shichibukai, but at least it was not so chaotic. There were two routes left. The navy was now focusing there and could deal with many pirates.
And the new world...
The new world is none of their business.
After the last trip to Wano Country, Kaido and Big Mom did not get any big news. There was news that Straw Hat, Kidd and Law were causing trouble in Wano Country, but no one was caught.
Ti Qi also died down, and there is no news for the time being, but he should be in the territory, so I don’t know what he is doing.
The New World has not reached its breaking point yet, so what else can we do to him?
