Chapter 9 What are the misunderstandings about power?
Soon, the doctor arrived and was shocked when he saw Lida fainting on the ground. He summoned people to start diagnosis and treatment.
Clow, on the other hand, was lying on the hospital bed pretending to be dead.
The diagnosis results came out quickly and it was revealed that Clow had lost his strength.
Although Lida was not able to control it, it still sucked half of Clow's energy, which led the doctor to diagnose that Clow had lost his strength.
This is also the effect Kuro wants to achieve.
As for Lida, she was simply hungry.
After giving her some food on a trial basis, she became lively and energetic again.
Kuro pretended to lie down for a whole day, feeling that it was almost time, and then he opened his eyes in a 'trance' and woke up.
The main reason is that his energy recovers quickly, and lying down for a day is already his limit.
After learning that Kuro had woken up, Lipa and others rushed there immediately.
"Curo, what's going on with you?" Lipa asked.
Kuro stood up with a pale face. Lida, who was eating at the side, was very cooperative and carefully helped Kuro up and leaned on the back of the bed.
"It's an old problem, cough cough."
Kuro coughed twice and said weakly: "I have been weak since I was a child. The swordsmanship passed down from my family consumes too much of my body. I will lose strength with just one move. I can only maintain the most basic fighting on weekdays."
This was the excuse he had in mind.
With the doctor's actual examination, it was perfect!
In this way, if he occasionally shows his strength, there won't be much of a problem.
"Captain Kuro, it turns out that you have such a secret, but you still ignore your body for the sake of the common people. This is really, really touching!"
Cass cried again, tears running down his face and sticking to his beard.
Leda carefully moved two steps to the side and glanced at Cass with disgust.
"I understand, Kuro, you take a good rest and I will help you with the rest."
Lipa nodded solemnly and took Cass out.
Done? What has been done?
Kurolipa's back, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't put it in words.
After going out, Lipa lowered his head and thought. Suddenly, he said to Cass: "Give all the credit for this time to Kuro."
"I have no objection. Chief Cao has sacrificed too much for us. Without Chief Cao to boost our morale, we would have sunk into the sea long ago."
Of course Cass had no objection.
Lipa nodded happily: "The credit for catching an ability user and defeating Mengka will all be given to Kuro. He has worked hard in the branch for ten years, but has not made any progress. But with these two credits now, he can go
It’s not a problem to get some further training in this department.
His body is too weak. If he goes to the Grand Line, his physical defects may be solved. If it can be solved, Kuro will definitely shine in the navy!"
He is not a powerful solipsist like Mengka. On the contrary, he is a naval officer with a sense of justice who is very considerate of his subordinates.
Kuro is also an old acquaintance. If he is Kuro, he has superb swordsmanship but is limited by his body and cannot display it. How hopeless it would be.
As his boss and old acquaintance, he will definitely make good arrangements for Kuro!
"Ah sneeze!"
Qrow sneezed and rubbed his nose.
"Strange, who is thinking about me? Forget it, Leda, peel an apple for me."
"Peel it yourself!"
Lida raised her eyebrows, she didn't understand how this kind of monster was cultivated.
Even though I tried my best, I couldn't absorb his energy. Instead, I fainted from hunger due to excessive use of my abilities!
…
The East China Sea is calm and the sun is shining brightly.
The sun shines into the office through the window sill. Kuro has his feet casually on the desk, wearing sunglasses, a cigarette in his mouth, and a bottle of red wine next to him.
He put out his cigarette, held up the goblet with an unusually lazy posture, swung the wine inside carefully, and took a sip.
"rustle."
The sunshine outside is very good, the breeze is gentle, and it is very comfortable.
"rustle."
Luffy has left Branch 153, Monka has been arrested, and everything is calm in the area.
"rustle."
Ah so comfortable.
Kuro is already imagining his comfortable and beautiful life.
"rustle."
"That's enough! Lida, don't make any noise while eating, you've ruined my mood!"
Qrow's forehead showed veins and he roared.
Right next to him, Lida was holding a large box of biscuits in her hands, rustling as she ate them.
"I'm hungry." Lida said expressionlessly.
"Then go out to eat!" Kuro waved his hand impatiently: "Don't waste this rare and pleasant moment of mine."
Everything is calm now. The rest of your life will be fine and comfortable. Just practice and practice again and get through it peacefully.
"Chief Kuroko!"
Outside the door, there was a series of footsteps and Cass's loud voice.
The door was pushed open quickly, and Cass was panting and holding a report, with uncontrollable joy on his face, "Chief Cao, there is something good, a great thing!"
Do you have any good things?
Then I must be up to no good.
In the past, when he said there was good news, he would either fight pirates or fight pirates.
Qrow said angrily: "What's wrong, Cass?"
Cass didn't notice anything wrong with Kuro's tone, and said excitedly: "Captain Kuro, you have been promoted. You have been promoted to the rank of warrant officer!"
When he heard that he was just a warrant officer, Kuro breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just a warrant officer, it doesn't count as an officer, so why make such a fuss."
"You are the Warrant Officer of the headquarters. The headquarters wants you to go to the headquarters for further training!"
“Even if it’s the headquarters”
Kuro was suddenly stunned, "Wait, what did you say? Headquarters?!"
"Yes, Commander Cao, ah no, Warrant Officer, Warrant Officer Cullo!"
Cass nodded excitedly.
"Is there any mistake? Let me take a look at the report!"
Not feeling as comfortable as before, Qrow took the report from Cass's hand and read it carefully.
Then he despaired.
It's really the headquarters.
According to the report, he was transferred to the headquarters to study.
"It's impossible, it doesn't exist. I have no problem getting promoted due to my merits, but there seems to be no reason for me to go to the headquarters." Kuro scratched his hair in pain.
"It's our credit."
Kass said proudly: "It's the credit of Lieutenant Colonel Lipa and me. We thought it was a pity for you to stay in the East China Sea, so we gave all the credit to you."
It's you, the street kid!
Kuro's eyes almost turned into sharp swords, capable of stabbing Cas to death.
Cass only felt a little cold in his body and shivered inexplicably. He looked out the window in confusion.
This weather is not cold.
"Warrant Officer Cullo, this is the thought of our 153rd branch. You have worked hard and accomplished a lot. It would be a pity not to go to the headquarters for further training. And we can't solve your body. I think the magical place of the Grand Line can solve your body."
method."
Cass looked toward the red sun with enthusiasm.
Kuro felt as depressed as ice.
"Warrant Officer, do you want to go alone, or go together when people from the headquarters come to receive Mengka."
"I'll think about it again. Thank you very much. Please go out first."
Qrow put his hand on his forehead and said weakly.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Cass withdrew and murmured: "It's strange, Warrant Officer Cullo seems to be in a low mood. It's probably an illusion. He must have been too happy for a while and couldn't accept it."
Thinking of this, Cass felt happy and hummed a little tune while walking.
"How can it be repaired?"
After confirming that Cass was out, Kuro roared at the sea outside the window.
"What are you doing? That's not how things work! There are so many powerful people in the Grand Line, why should I go there to deal with them? I'm not strong enough!"
Lida looked contemptuous. Does this man have any misunderstanding about strength?
"Are you going to the Grand Line?"
"go!"
Kuro gritted his teeth and said: "I'll go in the morning and in the evening. It's better to leave now, otherwise I might be even more unlucky if I wait for someone to pick up Mengka."
The one who accepted Mengka was Garp.
That kind of old bastard who is unreliable and good at causing trouble is still very strong. If he discovers his strength, he will really suffer.
If he goes to the headquarters now, the worst he can do is become a mediocre marine in the headquarters. If his performance is too poor, he may even be sent back to the Sihai Branch.
"Then I want to go eat barati. I have heard of the name of the sea restaurant in Donghai for a long time. I just want to stop by." Lida's eyes lit up.
