Riku's words caused Kuro to fall into a strange silence.
After a long time, he slowly said one word.
"ha?"
The sentence contained a strong sense of surprise, confusion, and a little bit of disgust.
"Old man, if you say this, I'm going to argue with you."
Kuro took a step forward, stood forward with a height that was not inferior to that of the old man, and stared at Riku.
The look in his eyes that had just come down from the battle with a hint of murderous intent made Riku subconsciously take a step back.
"King, please step back!"
Cyrus jumped up to Liku with one foot, keeping an eye on him.
Riku may not be able to fully feel that murderous aura, but as a warrior, he is very keen.
Although not much was leaked, it was enough to alert Cyrus.
The navy in front of me is a person who came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood!
That dangerous aura was even more powerful than Doflamingo's.
"Cyrus?"
Kuro looked the one-legged man up and down, "I know you are a very famous swordsman. Although as a navy, we are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, but there are some things that we should talk about carefully."
He pointed at himself, "Look at me, I'm dirty. Why do you think I'm dirty?"
As he said that, he pointed to the missing piece of land behind him, "Guess why this thing is missing? Didn't you see it if you are blind? Can't you see someone as big as Charlotte Lingling?"
These words made Cyrus shudder. Of course he had sensed the kind of earth-shattering battle that lasted for two days.
The Yonko, Big Mom, one of the most terrifying existences in the world.
Riku said from behind Cyrus, "The Four Emperors are obviously looking for you. You protected the people, which is true, but the Straw Hats also saved my country."
"ha?"
Kuro held a cigarette in his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke, which filled the faces of Cyrus and Riku.
"Please understand, I'm not talking about this, that little pirate or something like that. It's your business to let him go or not. What I care about is your attitude, old man!"
"If you let him go, let him go. Why did you stand up and say it? Just say it. What kind of king's decision-making power are you talking to me about? How did your king come to be? Don't you have any idea? What does it mean that the straw hat saved your country?
?I didn’t save it? My brother and I fought against the Four Emperors for two days, two days! Do you know how I got here in two days?!"
"What do you mean Lingling came to see me? You know if Lingling is let in, let alone the king, I will lose if there is a place in Dressrosa where people can stand!"
I don't know whether it was because of Kuro's roar or something else, both Riku and Cyrus took a step back.
"Lingling. Is it really okay to call her that?" Cyrus swallowed.
"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't consider this level." Riku lowered his head.
Cullo glanced at him and asked Maynard: "How many nearby countries have recognized it?"
"It was them who broadcast it live to nearby countries."
Maynard nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Crow, if you say that Straw Hat is a little pirate, is it too loose? Marshal Sakaski is having a headache for them now."
"Bah, bah, bah, bah."
Suddenly, a phone bug's voice rang nearby.
A navy man ran over with a phone bug in his arms and said: "Report! It's Marshal Sakaski's call!"
Kuro glared at Riku and said: "The navy's internal affairs are not suitable for observers. Please get out. As for the rest of the matter, we will discuss it later."
Without Kurodo's words, the two men retreated with the soldiers.
At this time, Yixiao also answered the phone call.
"Sakasan." He said.
"Fujitora?"
A hoarse and gloomy voice came from the phone next to the bug, "Big Mom retreated?"
"That's right. After fighting for two days, we retreated when we realized something was wrong." Yixiao nodded.
"How can we fix it! If we can delay it for a while longer, when the Warring States period passes, maybe we can keep her!"
Sakaski paused and said, "I don't blame you for the Straw Hats and Luo's escape. You were stopped by Big Mom, and it's all thanks to your hard work."
"No, Sakasan, I think our navy should apologize for the situation in Dressrosa. The darkness in Dressrosa is due to the inaction of the world government and our navy, which has led to the growth of evil."
The words of a smile made the phone bug silent for a while. After a long time, the phone bug uttered a word full of doubts and anger: "Huh? Sin? Breeding?"
In addition to these words, there was also a rustling sound over there, which made Kuro narrow his eyes.
"Let me do it."
Just as Yixiao was about to continue speaking, the microphone was suddenly snatched away by Kuro, who smiled at Yixiao and said, "Brother, the battle has just ended, so these words are too inappropriate. We are the navy, and we can discuss internal matters."
Kuro knew exactly what this guy was going to say.
He always felt that it was a mistake for Dressrosa to become dark under the rule of the Shichibukai. This could be seen when he held back when fighting Sabo.
As a navy, he must act within the rules, but as a human, he placed his bets on the Straw Hats and believed that saving Dressrosa had nothing to do with their navy.
This is extremely bad.
If he were allowed to continue talking, he would probably choke with Sakaski.
This kind of matter can be discussed within the navy, there is no need to be so vocal about it.
In front of so many people, both parties will be unable to step down, and things will not be fun by then.
Kuro said into the microphone: "Marshal Sakaski, it's me, where are you now?"
"Crow?"
The anger of the phone bug was suppressed a little, "Thank you for your hard work, I'm in Margioia now."
Sure enough, if he was in Marigioa now, he should be next to the five old men. If he choked, it would be difficult for Sakaski.
"Everything is done for the navy. Regarding Dressrosa, we will discuss it in person later."
"If it weren't for Big Mom, Doflamingo should have informed us in advance. The abominable King Riku tricked us."
What he was talking about was informing Doflamingo of his defeat and his assumption of the throne in advance without the permission of the World Government and Navy.
In fact, the latter is not a big problem, but the former will indeed damage the prestige of their navy.
As for the prestige of the world government.
The world government has a shitty reputation!
"Let the higher-ups consider this matter. It's probably not too late now."
Kuro glanced around and said, "I will take care of Doflamingo personally. The results should be available before Sengoku-san comes."
