Of course, Kuro would not admit it, let alone the fact that he had made up for it with a stab.
"Tch, forget it, just help.
At least that one knife should be the decisive one. He didn't care what kind of justice Clow held, but it did help.
At this time, a navy man ran over with a phone and said: "Colonel Smoger, the headquarters phone number!"
"I'm Smoker." Smoker took it and said.
"It's Colonel Smog. Regarding the crusade against Crocodile, the upper levels of the government have decided to award medals to you and Captain Dasqi, and have decided to upgrade you two to one level each."
"Issuing medals?"
Smoker looked at the phone bug and said in a deep voice: "Did you listen to my report carefully? It was not us who defeated Crocodile."
"It's useless, Smoker. When the government makes a decision, you'd better listen to it." Tina advised from the side.
"Whenever you are free, please attend the medal awarding ceremony." The phone bug continued.
"Hey, help me tell the old man above."
Veins appeared on Smoker's forehead.
"Smorg!" Tina shouted.
"To hell with them!"
Smoker slammed the phone and hung up.
Seeing the phone being hung up, Tina sighed: "It's useless. You can't refuse what the government decides, as long as you are still a navy."
"I act with my heart as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous."
Smoker said: "This kind of thing is not justice!"
The pirates defeated the pirates that they were unable to capture due to limited conditions. This kind of thing made Smoker feel very complicated.
Especially when his life was saved by Luffy.
He didn't know what justice was, but he felt comfortable, that was justice!
What Kuro said was quite right.
As for Kuro, he didn't care about this. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear his name from the phone caller. Without him, he wouldn't be promoted or attract attention.
"I need to go back to my headquarters and explain things clearly to my superiors."
Smoker said as he prepared to disembark.
Tina looked at him and remained silent.
A good friend and contemporary, she knows Smoker too well. He is a stubborn donkey who goes his own way, otherwise he would not have been sent to the East China Sea.
"Curo, let's go."
Kuro shrugged, nodded to Tina, and was about to get off the boat. When he passed by Finn Bodi, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job, I'm very optimistic about you, you were my previous target."
"?"
Finn Bodi was confused, what do you mean?
He won't understand how much Finn Bodi's life made him envious.
After getting off Tina's ship, Kuro and others boarded Smoker's warship and headed all the way to the Navy headquarters.
…
A few days later.
Smoker hung up Tina's call, looked at the two new reward lists on the table, and remained silent.
"One hundred million."
Lida leaned her head and looked over, "There is also a green algae head, 60 million. Isn't that one of the two people who defeated Crowe in Rogge Town before?"
Whoosh!
As soon as she said this, Crowe immediately appeared and took a look at the two reward lists.
"Straw Hat Boy, 100 million? Roronoa Zoro, 60 million."
These two people are both destined to Crowe.
"One hundred million, sixty million"
Crowe murmured.
This amount, if it were in the East China Sea, would be the biggest pirate among the biggest pirates.
"Is it because Crocodile was defeated? Although the government covered up this fact, the bounty was raised, and the span is very high."
"Indeed."
Smoker nodded, "As long as I am a navy, there is a limit to how willful I am, so what we need must be status. Kuro, are you interested in joining me?"
He looked at Kuro, who was lying on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and dozing off.
Hearing this, Qrow shook his head.
Still running with you?
A trip to Alabasta is already nerve-wracking, and another trip would mean I have to go to the New World.
Whoever wants to go to the new world will go there.
"I have already accompanied you to Alabasta. Now it's your turn to keep your promise and give me an absolutely safe place. I don't want to retire there. I don't think I'm strong enough. I need to improve my strength there."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe. You can go to the headquarters for training first."
Smoker said, there was something meaningful in his words.
But Qrow didn't feel it. He was full of joy now. Smoker would definitely not bluff him, so that place must be safe and stable.
Kuro waved his hand and said politely: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so safe. For example, the Rogge Town you guarded before seems pretty good to me. Although there are definitely pirates, I don't mind."
"I will try my best and it will be safe, don't worry." Smoker nodded solemnly.
Crow next to him pushed up his glasses, but he felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
But find a safe and stable place, and if there are no pirates, that would be great. At least he, Crow, can live a peaceful life.
Crowe couldn't help but start to imagine such a day.
etc.
Absolutely safe.
And very stable.
There won't be any pirates nearby.
Crowe's brows were twisted together. He looked at Smoker and then at Crowe, who was already thinking about his future life. His face twisted into a very strange expression.
It's better not to say anything
Otherwise, he always feels that he will be affected.
…
The Navy Headquarters is located close to the Holy Land Mariejoia, forming a triangle with Judiciary Island and Impel Castle. It is located in a special whirlpool sea area. If the Door of Justice is not opened, then once the pirates enter, they will be forever.
Drift down in that sea area.
After sailing for a while, Clow and others finally arrived at the Navy Headquarters.
The island where the Navy Headquarters is located is Marinevando.
In addition to the headquarters, most of the buildings in Marineland are owned by navy families.
Kuro and others got off the port, glanced around, and sighed: "Headquarters has been hiding, but we still have to make a mistake."
"This is the headquarters."
Lida said with excitement, "There must be a lot of delicious food, and the canteen of the headquarters must taste very good!"
"Headquarters"
Crowe pushed up his glasses and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I, a former pirate, would not only become a navy, but also come to the headquarters."
"Anyway, just go around casually, don't go too far, and don't use your strength too much, otherwise I won't be able to find a safe place in the Grand Line, let alone return to the East China Sea."
Qrow instructed the two of them.
"We understand."
On this point, they all have something in common.
Lida just wanted to eat enough, preferably safely, and she had her own ideas about how to do so, not how to do it safely.
Not to mention Crowe, who only hides his strength. He can hide in a small village for three years. If he is in the headquarters, it is normal to show some strength of an ordinary navy.
As long as he trains normally and Smog talks to someone to help him, Kuro can go back with his job title.
How good.
Smoker
General's office.
Smoker opened the door and came in, saying directly: "Kuzan, I want to talk to you about someone."
