Fortunately, the four pirate groups worth over 100 million were annihilated near the windless zone. After annihilating them, the Golden Yang sailed for a day and finally reached the windless zone.
Thanks to the technology of inlaying marine stones on the bottom of the ship, Kuro was in the windless zone for a while and could no longer hear the sound of cannons.
This technique has no impact on his abilities.
The number of sea tower stones inlaid on the bottom of the ship is not very large, and the medium through which Clow can display his abilities is only the ship itself. The sea tower stones are attached to it, so naturally it will not have any impact on him.
After crossing the windless zone, the Jinyi finally appeared in the East China Sea.
"Oh! Donghai!"
On the deck, Lida stood on the railing along the ship's edge, supporting herself with her hands, looking out.
Beside her, Kuro also took a deep breath and closed his eyes in relief.
Finally returned to the East China Sea.
Blue sky, white clouds, gentle breeze.
There are no powerful pirates or weird ability users. Devil fruits are no different from legends here.
The breath of peace and tranquility lingered in Kuro's nose.
This is his dream place to settle down.
When he arrived at this place, Kuro felt relaxed.
"Hey, Kuro, I want to go to Barati. I haven't been there for a long time." Lida turned to Kuro and said.
"Stop it."
Crow rolled his eyes, "You think I don't know about you. Whenever there is a lie, you will run to the East China Sea. That idiot Crow calls the East China Sea black and white. He is in the dark and you are in the day. I rarely come back once a year."
After saying that, he paused, rubbed Lida's head, and said: "I will take you there after I finish worshiping my ancestors. I haven't eaten in a long time."
"They all said don't touch my hair." Lida shook off Kuro's hand, combed her white hair, and muttered.
"East China Sea"
On the other side, Cass felt the wind coming from the sea and smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since I've been back."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Clow and you are both from the East China Sea. It's really surprising." Wilbur said at the side.
Although he knew about it a long time ago, it still made him feel a little incredible when he returned to the East China Sea.
East China Sea!
The weakest sea can actually produce righteous men like Mr. Clow and Cass.
Or is it that the East China Sea itself is a place of justice?
Crow, who was born in the East China Sea, is quite righteous now.
"East China Sea?"
Donald touched his chin there and thought: "Maybe it's a magical place."
Sazir clenched his fists, "Sure enough, being a strong man in the world has nothing to do with where he was born."
"East China Sea?"
Ain looked at Clow, but he didn't show any surprise.
After all, the naval hero Garp also came from the East China Sea.
And the Pirate King is also the same
Donghai is not weak at all.
…
Shieldstown, Branch 153.
After Mengka was arrested, the people here no longer suffered from high-pressure rule. Coupled with the peace in the East China Sea, they lived a very stable life for two years.
This day is the same, but a little different.
In a small restaurant near the port.
A little girl eagerly asked a woman who was almost the same as her, a larger version of her, "Is Brother Kuro not back yet?"
The large version of the woman is the owner of this restaurant, Lili Xiang, a woman who is seriously suspected by Kuro to be one of the people with the ability of the 'Eternal Fruit'.
Her daughter is the smaller version of her, named Lixiang.
"almost"
Lilixiang wiped the plate, looked out the window, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Kuro will be back every year at this time."
"Hurry up, I miss Brother Kuro so much."
Tap tap tap.
Just as Lixiang said this, a group of marines passed by her restaurant.
When Lixiang saw this scene, she was stunned, jumped off the chair, ran out the door, and said: "Uncle Lipa, is brother Kuro back?!"
"Li Xiang"
Among that group of marines, the leader was none other than Lipa.
He showed a gentle smile and said in a very soft tone: "Yes, Lieutenant General Cullo has sent a notification, and we are about to greet him."
With that said, he continued to move forward.
"Colonel, be careful, there are ants under your feet."
Suddenly, a navy man behind him suddenly reminded him.
Lipa paused, looked at his feet, and saw an ant slowly passing by.
"Ah, thank you for reminding me, I almost stepped on an ant."
Lipa looked frightened and waited for the ants to pass before continuing to move forward.
This scene made many of the navy look awkward.
But a small number of navies take it for granted, as if it should be like this.
Lixiang opened her mouth, shook her head helplessly, and followed them to the port, waiting for Kuro to arrive.
Soon, on the sea, a huge golden ship began to approach.
"Wow, gold!"
Lixiang opened her mouth in surprise, looked at the naval flag above the approaching ship, and said: "Warship? Brother Kuro has arrived?"
At this time, apart from him, the remaining residents also gathered together, looking at the golden ship happily.
That's Kuro!
They saw their older child actually become a big shot in the navy, becoming a lieutenant general!
How proud they are.
The Golden Horse gradually came and docked in the port. As the steps were lowered on the side of the ship, Kuro took the lead and walked down. He led a group of sailors and stood on the port with their cloaks flying.
"Oh!! Kuroo!!"
“Pride of Shieldstown!”
"Idiot, you have to call me Lieutenant General! He is also the pride of Donghai!!"
The residents began to shout.
This shout made Kuro slightly stunned.
"They're all here."
Kuro scratched his head, "Really, I just sent a telegram to inform you. There is no need for so many people to pick it up."
"Lieutenant General Kuro."
Lipa took the lead and saluted Clow, followed by a group of marines behind him.
"Long time no see, Lipa." Kuro nodded to him.
"long time no see."
Lipa smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you are actually a lieutenant general. It was indeed a very correct choice to let you go to the headquarters."
I'm right, you big lama!
Qrow rolled his eyes.
You must be considered the source of all evil!
"Cass, you too, now you are a colonel in the headquarters." Lipa continued to smile.
"It's all Mr. Clow who taught me well!" Cass said loudly.
The headquarters colonel and the branch colonel are two completely different levels.
But if it can be replaced.
In fact, Kuro wanted to trade with Lipa.
"Brother Kuro!"
At this time, Lixiang emerged from the crowd, stood in front of Kuro, and said excitedly: "It's been a long time, Brother Kuro, I miss you so much!"
"Oh Lixiang."
Qrow raised his eyebrows, looked at her outfit, and asked in surprise: "You also joined the navy?"
At this time, Lixiang was taller than last year, and she also wore an apron with a navy logo.
"Yes, I have become a trainee waiter in the Navy." Lixiang's eyes glowed with admiration as she said, "In the future, I will also go to the headquarters to serve Brother Kuro."
"Okay, then come on."
Kuro smiled and rubbed Lixiang's head, and said to Lipa: "I will go to worship my ancestors first, and we will talk about old times later."
"Understood, I will arrange for others to rest."
Lipa nodded and prepared to guide the rest of the navy to rest.
At this time, Lixiang stuck out her tongue at Lipa, "I don't want you to come. If you do, they won't even be able to eat meat."
