Qrow sneezed several times for no apparent reason. He rubbed his nose, looked out the window, and murmured: "Which beautiful woman misses me?"
"Um?"
Lida on the side stopped eating and looked at Kuro warily.
Beauty?
Impossible, she stares at her so closely every day. She is very aware of how many women there are around Kuro, especially those beauties who look like other people's wives. They are the key targets of surveillance.
How could there be a woman?
"That old pirate," Lida said.
"I have killed a lot of old pirates during this period, and they are all close to here. As for the ones far away, as long as they don't come to my place and don't miss me, I don't care."
Kuro picked up the powder stick on the table, lifted it up from the water, and dusted the white powder stick on the blade, saying, "Can't you just miss me?"
Lida curled her lips and stuffed a mouthful of snacks.
"Mr. Clow."
Crowe opened the door and entered, saying: "Cass sent a message, confirming the invaders appearing in the Kingdom of Raya."
"Oh? Which one?"
"It's Dressrosa, and the leader is Pancha David."
These words made Crow's movement of dusting the blade slightly stagnant. He looked at Crow and asked:
"Dressrosa? David? Are you kidding me? Dressrosa is far away from me. Can he hit me?"
Crowe pushed up his glasses and said: "I am also very confused, but it is true. After Cass confirmed, Panza David has killed the king of the Kingdom of Raya and officially took over Raya Island."
"Oh, why didn't I see it before? That kid is quite eager to conquer, but if it's him, he probably won't do anything to civilians, so there's no need to worry about it." Kuro was surprised and continued to dust his autumn water.
The knife must be maintained. This is not a special knife like Luo Gui. It can stay sharp with blood. No matter what other knives are, they basically need to be maintained.
As for David's affairs, they were matters of their kingdom. I was just a navy man, so I was not qualified to care about it and I didn't want to care about it that much.
If he wants to fight, he can fight. With that kind of character, he must have his own thoughts in his heart. After all, David is not a mediocre person, otherwise, he would not choose him to be the king.
"I'm hungry, let Kikyo cook something good." Kuro ordered to Crowe.
"I want to eat water, water and meat!" Lida raised her hands.
Crow rolled his eyes: "The Capital of Seven Waters is so far away from here, how can we get food so quickly? Wait a few days. Crow, make a call and ask someone to buy the ingredients in the Capital of Seven Waters, and
Their sea salt.”
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Crow." Crow nodded and left the office.
Even in ordinary times, this small request is no problem, and Lida will buy it without permission. After all, she has a share of Pegasus Island.
And this time, Cullo got tens of billions for free. He was really rich and it was completely justified.
The three candidates divided it among themselves, and Kuro took 25 billion, plus another 30 billion spent, allowing the headquarters to get 20 billion, and another 10 billion for free, for a total of 3 billion
Five billion, and the responsibilities have been shared out. He is willing to do this kind of thing again and again.
"I am already rich, and everything I eat is worth it." Clow said proudly: "Lida, you can eat whatever you want, if you can eat me up."
"Huh?" Lida raised her eyebrows and looked over.
"No, it's nothing. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Qrow thought of something and closed his mouth.
With this product’s fruit ability and her proficiency in ‘life return’, she really doesn’t know how to eat it all. If you give her time, she can eat it up no matter how much money she has.
…
A few days later, it was still the office.
Kuro was eating at this time. The meat and fish that had been urgently delivered and cooked by Platycodon were already placed on the table. Next to it were expensive lobsters and fish, all of which were sent from relatively far away places.
It's a speedboat, a speedboat that's specifically responsible for transporting people like snail shells. It's very fast, and it's quite practical from a transportation perspective.
On the other side of the sofa next to her, Lida was enjoying her meal, and the coffee table was full of empty dinner plates.
"Mr. Clow."
Crowe opened the door and walked in, followed by several people, "Cass and the others are back."
As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing Cass and Wilbur behind him, as well as...
Kuro, who was eating meat and fish, looked at the person coming in from behind and was stunned for a moment, "David?"
Cass and Wilbur entered the office and saluted Kuro in unison, saying: "Mr. Kuro!"
At the same time, David, the only one next to them who was not wearing a navy uniform but was wearing luxurious clothes, humbly leaned over, put his right hand on his heart, and saluted: "Master, long time no see."
Kuro frowned and said: "Why do you always call me master? You are the king now."
David shook his head and said humbly: "My position as king was selected by you, and my weapons were also given by you. You gave the Pansha family a new life. For Pansha, you are Pansha's master.
"
"Don't worry, I'm just a navy man. You running your kingdom has nothing to do with me."
Kuro said: "Work hard."
"Keep this in mind, sir." David bowed his head again.
Qrow rolled his eyes, forget it, I'm afraid this guy can't change his title.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Kuro said: "You have made a lot of noise recently. The distance from Dressrosa to G-3 has been cleared for you. What do you think?
, with Dressrosa’s size, it must be very difficult.”
David opened his mouth, but suddenly thought of something again and fell silent.
I can't say it, I can't say it now.
Although he really wanted to tell the master that he was completing a sacred mission and everything was for the sake of the master's "world peace."
But now is not the time. He has not fulfilled his long-cherished wish, not even a small goal.
Let alone peace in my own country now, the hidden dangers of conflicts are so great. If I say so, I am just humiliating myself and insulting my long-cherished wish.
At this level, the master will definitely not take it seriously.
"Please forgive me." Finally, David muttered and lowered his head.
"ah?"
Kuro was a little confused. What kind of apology could this guy have?
"Oh!! What humility!"
Cass said excitedly: "Mr. Cullo! Mr. Cullo! David works very hard for his goals and for people on other backward islands to live a life like Dressrosa. He is not afraid at all.
Sacrifice, just for that 'unified world'!"
"It's a pity that Dressrosa's supplies are no longer enough. Although Wilbur and I each donated a share, it is still not enough. Can the navy at the base donate a share for this? Such a grand ideal,
I think a righteous person will definitely be willing to contribute his part!"
What are you doing here to join in the fun?
Kuro raised his eyebrows. Dressrosa fought all the way to G-3. Even if it was just a line, the territory was huge, and it had to be at the same level as Dressrosa's life.
Not to mention whether his men are willing or not, even if he contributes the monthly salary of the entire G-3 navy, these three melons and two dates will not make a sound in the water.
"etc."
Kuro thought of something, took out a cigar, lit it, and looked at David, "Dressrosa has no money?"
"It's really a shame, but it's true, sir."
David leaned over and said: "Dressrosa is expanding too fast, and the current funds really cannot support me in the follow-up process."
"I have money!"
Kuro felt excited, and he held out three fingers, "Are you short of investment? How about giving me 30% of the real estate, including Dressrosa, and I will invest for you. I have 350
100 million!"
He is just talking like a lion. Dressrosa itself is not a small country, and a small country can be sold for 500 billion. Of course, what he bought is the land and throne of the entire small country.
And now Dressrosa's territory must be very large. Clow's request for 30% of the real estate is just asking for money.
However, you can also wait for David to sit down and make a counter-offer.
When it comes to business, you come and I go.
"Really?!"
David opened his eyes wide, "Master, are you willing to support me?! No problem, 30% real estate, no problem at all!"
These words made the air freeze for a while.
Not only Crow, but also Lida and Crow looked over in surprise.
"Eh?"
Qrow was stunned when he stretched out his finger, a little confused.
