Kuro opened his mouth, but finally sighed, sat across from Kizaru, unceremoniously smoked the cigar on his desk, and leaned there with his legs crossed and puffed away.
"When you come back this time, please don't go out for the time being. Stay at the headquarters and save me some worries."
Kizaru said after watching a series of actions in which Kuro took the cigar and then lit it and blew out the smoke.
Kuro spat out a ball of white mist and said, "Old man, just find a place for me to stay. I promise not to cause trouble."
He didn't want to cause trouble at first, but he didn't know where so many things happened.
"stationed"
Kizaru thought for a while, "Yes, the G-5 branch is short of some manpower. There is also the G-1 branch. Sakaski will be transferred back. You can go there and have a look."
"forget it."
G-5?G-1?
Isn’t that the new world?
I’m not going anywhere to the New World.
"Calling you back is not just asking you to stay here. You know, Portcas D. Ace has been captured, and the Whitebeard Pirates are ready to make a move. A war is about to begin.
.”
It was because he knew that war was coming that he wanted to seek liberation!
"When you come back, communicate more with Zhan Momomaru. Zhan Momomaru, learn from Kuro, he is a very strong person." Kizaru said with a strange expression.
"I see."
Zhan Momomaru said seriously: "I am Vegapunk's bodyguard now, but I will officially join the navy in the future!"
Vegapunk is a top scientist who claims to have wisdom that exceeds the world's five hundred years. Of course Kuro knows about it.
He has no objection at all to this wisdom that transcends the world for five hundred years.
Being able to put Devil Fruit factors into weapons, and also create something like a pacifist, he can certainly be called a top scientist.
"anyway"
Kuro glanced at Zhan Momomaru and said, "As the captain of the scientific force, why are you here? Doesn't that top scientist need protection?"
Zhan Taowan said: "This is a secret. Although you are also a navy, there are some things that cannot be said. I, Zhan Taowan, am the most tight-lipped man and will never tell you. I am here to test the 'pacifist'
'Experimental results."
"..."
"Didn't this come out loud?"
"ah"
Zhan Taowan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's what I wanted to say just now. I don't want to say it. No one can let me say it."
"Yes Yes"
Kuro nodded helplessly.
"Pacifist"
Kuro thought for a while, and he remembered this thing. It was a combat robot built based on Bartholomew Bear's body and Kizaru's abilities.
Kizaru said: "Pacifist, the cost is as much as a top warship. It is a terrible tool. His appearance will greatly change the combat ecology of today's navy."
In Cullo's eyes, the combat power of a pacifist is to condense a thousand-man warship. On the sea, warships are of course the most destructive, but on land, the kind that condenses the entire warship into one
The combat power of an individual cannot be underestimated.
But that's all.
At most it can change the battle situation for ordinary pirates, and with that kind of cost, this thing is destined not to be completely popular.
"He was made using Bartholomew Bear's body and the old man's 'laser' ability. It is very powerful." Zhan Momomaru said.
"There is always a chance to experiment with that kind of thing. You are a major now, go get your documents, and then stay at the headquarters and don't run around." Kizaru said with a smile.
"I see."
Clow took away the cigar box on the table, then stretched out his hand directly, "Old man, there are not many supplies, give me some."
…
After chatting for a while, Kuro came out of Kizaru's office, along with Zhan Momomaru.
Zhan Momomaru followed him, which was arranged by Kizaru. The purpose was obvious, to watch over him and prevent him from running around.
“There is really no way to save the day”
Kuro sighed. The old man looked at him like this. It was obvious that he could not escape from the war.
Thinking this way, he felt very depressed.
"Quluo, are you unhappy?" Zhan Taomaru asked doubtfully.
"No, I feel pity for this damn world." Qrow sighed miserably.
"Anyway, go get the paperwork first, and then go to dinner. Zhan Momowan, it's our first time meeting. You can treat me."
"?"
Zhan Taowan tilted his head, not knowing why, and said: "Yes, yes, but why should I invite you? Speaking of which, the old man has always said that you are very strong, and I also want to try it. How about the loser calling the winner big brother."
"
He is also a direct subordinate of Kizaru, and Kizaru often praises Kuro. He has always been curious about what Kuro's combat power is like.
After all, I have met Buck Arlo before, and he must be very strong as he can force more than 300 million pirates to surrender voluntarily.
However, Zhan Taowan was a little dissatisfied. He should be the strongest under the old man.
He has never seen the old man praise someone so much, and he has long wanted to try it.
"Oh? You want to compete with me?" Kuro glanced at him.
"I am the man with the strongest defense!" Zhan Momowan said proudly: "I will not lose!"
I just feel so angry.
Kuro showed a mysterious smile: "Absolutely, the small garden behind the old man is very nice, just take a look at it."
…
Not long after, Kuro walked out with a comfortable smile and Zhan Momomaru, who had a bruised and swollen face.
He couldn't touch Kuro.
Zhan Momomaru knows high-level haki, which is called "Akatsura Solo", but with this move, Kuro must be defeated.
Of course, Kuro didn't know how to use his abilities, and just relied on his speed to beat Zhan Momomaru.
It's very refreshing. The depressed mood just now is completely liberated.
"Brother Kuro."
Listening to Zhan Momomaru's obedient cry, Kuro smiled and patted the tall man's arm, "Very good, let's treat him to dinner, little Zhan Momomaru."
At this time, Lida and Crowe also came back. Crowe was holding big and small bags, and Lida was licking ice cream at the side. She happened to see Crowe and said hello quickly.
"Let me introduce, my new little brother, Zhan Taowan. Zhan Taowan, these are my direct subordinates, Lida and Crowe, one is the lieutenant of the headquarters, and the other is the second lieutenant of the headquarters. Today Zhan Taowan celebrates our promotion.
Treat us to dinner, let’s get the promotion paperwork, and then find a place.”
It's just a treat for dinner, why are you so excited?
Zhan Taowan didn't quite understand how much it would cost to treat guests to dinner.
After receiving the documents at the headquarters, Kuro led a group of people to prepare for the city behind Marinevando. However, at this time, he heard a familiar voice at the port.
A chain smoker with his hair slicked back stood up and swaggered off the boat and was talking to the lady behind him who was wearing glasses and holding a knife.
Seeing the person coming, Kuro was in a good mood, but suddenly it wasn't so good again.
"S-Mo-G!"
Kuro's eyes widened, and his whole body turned into an afterimage, heading straight towards him.
The person who came down was none other than Smoker. He was talking to Dusky when he heard a loud shout.
The sound made him feel chills. Before Smoker could react, a figure appeared in front of him and grabbed his arm.
Domineering!
Kuro's wrist was covered with armor color, and he grabbed Smoker's wrist to prevent him from elementalizing. He smiled ferociously at him: "I miss you so much, Smoker!"
