The person soaking in the hot spring behind Kuro is none other than the former admiral who retired from the navy, ‘Ao Pheasant’ Kuzan.
"Don't say that, everyone has their own way of doing things." Kuzan smiled there.
Kuro rolled his eyes, "Come on, I don't understand you. There is information about your participation in the [Battle of Ending]. What exactly do you want to do and in what capacity do you act, Kuzan."
"Identity?"
Kuzan chuckled and said: "Partners of justice? It doesn't seem to be the case. After all, they are cooperating with the pirates. But I have my own reasons. After breaking away from the world government, maybe I can see justice from another angle."
"He is indeed the most proud disciple of old man Zefa. He is stubborn, but you are also stubborn." Kuro said.
"Spare me, Kuro, I didn't come to you to listen to your lectures to me."
Kuzan also took out his other hand, rested his head on his hands, and said, "I came to you because you are the only one who can stop Teacher Zefa's actions."
"Um?"
Qrow frowned, "Shouldn't you go find the Straw Hat?"
"straw hat?"
Kuzan was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean Straw Hat Boy? Alas, it's strange, why should I look for him."
These words made Kuro stunned for a moment.
Yes, why is he looking for that straw hat?
This matter seems to have nothing to do with him.
This is an internal matter of the Navy.
What's the point of having a relationship with a pirate?
It is most normal for Kuzan to seek help from the navy.
"You can do it yourself. Although that old man Zefa is very strong, with your ability, there shouldn't be any problem." Kuro said.
Kuzan's abilities, such as the explosion of dynamite rocks, are useless under his abilities.
"I don't have that reason. I'm just a confused person now. In comparison, you are the navy." Kuzan said.
Kuro exhaled the smoke, changed his posture and soaked in the hot spring in a relaxed manner, and said: "Don't worry, the old man and I will guard one side of the two islands. Nothing will happen. I'm not the kind of person who only places the battlefield on
People in one place.”
"Speaking of which, the headquarters asked me to ask you what you have been doing recently and if there are any problems, I will report them."
"Ala, can you tell me this clearly? Isn't it just for testing?" Kuzan scratched his head.
"Come on, it doesn't seem necessary for the two of us. To be honest, I don't want to care about what you want to do or what your purpose is."
Kuro smacked his lips and said: "But what you can say is to make it easier for me to do business. We will benefit from each other. You don't want to make it difficult for me. What are you going to do with Blackbeard?"
"Hey, are you going to get straight to the point from the beginning? I can't talk to you about this for the time being."
Kuzan stood up and exhaled: "I'm going to make you faint from waiting, so let's go out and talk."
"Sit down, I haven't had enough yet."
Kuro stretched out his hand and shook it slightly, only to see the hot spring water in Kuzan's pool suddenly rise and drown Kuzan.
The pool surged open, and Kuzan showed his head again, wiped his face, and said in surprise: "Hey, can your current ability reach this level? It's too scary."
"Stop joking, Kuzan. Just use the medium of air. Can't you do this yourself?" Kuro curled his lips and said.
Kuzan was silent for a while, then said with a wry smile: "That uncle, in short, if possible, don't kill him."
"It depends on what he does. After all, I have probably guessed the old man's real purpose. If I can't change my mind in time, I will have to fulfill him."
Kuro sighed and said: "Kuzan, if you meet that old man in advance and advise him, we don't need to take the dynamite rock seriously. He can use it to fight pirates, or blow up the pirate island."
, in short, don’t cause trouble at EndPoint.”
"I will bring the conversation, provided I meet that uncle."
Kuzan said and looked at Kuro, "You've met him before, he's still so strong, right, Kuro."
Kuro closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The old stubborn is the old stubborn, but his combat power has not changed much. He is just as strange as you."
"same as me?"
Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Are you just as confused?"
The atmosphere fell into silence.
Wow.
After a while, Kuro stood up from the pool and walked down with his back to Kuzan.
"Remember to pass on some tellable information to me so that I can communicate with you. If you say it, I will treat it as if I haven't seen it before. If you are not a navy, you should show up less often in front of us. It will be very troublesome."
"Ah, you can say that I am also your former colleague, how can I be so ruthless?"
Kuzan shrugged and let Kuro leave alone. His head was on his arms, his eyes were incomprehensible, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Kuro left the hot spring facility, he turned on the phone and made a call.
"Is it Kuro?"
The person who answered the phone was Stoloberg.
Of course he wouldn't call the old man, who knows that old man often answers the wrong phone.
"Brother, give the old man a message and come directly to Kazanoson. That stubborn old man will definitely come here." Kuro said.
"I understand, do you have anything else to say, Kuro?"
Kuro was silent for a while and said: "There is no need to bring irrelevant personnel. Tell the old man that as long as they are the disciples of that smelly old man, all of them can come over. If nothing else, we will send him on his last journey."
Kuzan's words have already conveyed a lot of information. This old man's next destination must be here.
Then there is no need to guard in batches.
All the disciples gave him a farewell and gave him the honor of being a general and a naval instructor.
After all, didn’t this old man want to die when he did such a big thing?
Before dying, it would be nice to meet his lovely disciples.
Takuro, he's speaking the truth.
…
In the evening, at the sea.
The black fleet sails.
In the cabin, the NEO navy members were huddled one by one, looking tired.
On the deck, Zefa was sitting next to the mast, his eyes couldn't be seen clearly through his sunglasses.
Ain in front of him looked at the old man with a look of pity.
"The end of the world."
"If I really disappear."
"The sea, which knows everything, will guide the way forward."
Ruoyinruowuowu's low voice seems to be circulating in this world.
The fleet approached and landed on an undiscovered shoal.
Zefa glanced at the high cliff in front of him, curled his lips, and stepped up.
At the highest point of the cliff, a man in a coat and hat turned his back to him and whispered this song.
"I actually don't like this song very much. Songs praising the sacrifice of the navy or something like that are too boring."
Kuzan turned his head and threw the bottle of wine in his hand, "Long time no see, Teacher Zefa."
Snapped.
Zefa took it with one hand and glanced at it. It was his favorite sherry.
"I often imitate your drinking. It's very cool."
Kuzan paused and said, "Teacher Zefa, please stop."
