Chapter 1024: What Else Can You Find Me For?

Four months later.

Headquarters.

In Kuro’s own office.

Leda pointed at the World Economic News and said with interest, “Hey, Kuro, look at this. This person is the ‘Emperor’!”

Kuro was biting his cigar and swinging his legs on the table. When he heard this, he was slightly stunned. “Emperor? Yonkō (Four Emperors)? Another one? What, Tiki was killed?”

“I don’t think so…”

At this moment, Crowe, who was standing next to him, pushed up his glasses and said, “It’s just a self-appointed newspaper, but it’s very interesting…”

He had just returned not long ago, and some of the undercover members of ‘Sword’ who were under investigation had already finished. The rest of the work was left to the other ‘Sword’ teams and CP to cooperate with each other.

“Let me see, what emperor.”

Kuro waved and Crowe handed Kuro the newspaper.

Kuro picked it up and saw that there was a huge headline on the front page of today’s World Economic News: [ ‘The ‘Great’ Faretel ‘His Majesty the Emperor’ has issued an order for the three countries to stop fighting and merge into one country, under the rule of His Majesty the Emperor!]

Below it was a photo that seemed to be a handwritten document. There was a crooked seal at the bottom of the document. It seemed that the workmanship of the seal was not very good.

As for the content of the newspaper, the general idea is that a big country called Astya is divided into three countries that are in a civil war, and His Majesty Faretel is calling people to stop the war and unite again.

There’s… nothing wrong with that?

Kuro raised his eyebrows. “Isn’t that normal? How can such a thing be on the front page? Morgan has nothing to write about, right?”

However, Crowe was stunned and asked, “Mr. Kuro, don’t you know ‘Emperor’ Faretel?”

“I know what he’s doing. Why? Can he give me money or what?” Kuro said angrily, “Don’t give me riddles. Tell me, what does this person do?”

“I only found out recently. This person is a legend, um… a joke.”

Crowe said, “Farytel is a civilian, but from ten years ago, he suddenly called himself ‘Emperor’. At that time, no one knew anything, but later, he issued an emperor’s decree in the local area, and it even directly reached the side of the divided kings. The kings were very angry and prepared to arrest Farytel, but they didn’t catch him. Instead, they were stopped by the residents of the local city. After the soldiers went there once, they didn’t continue to arrest Farytel. This matter caused a sensation at that time. The World Economic News reported it at that time, but everyone treated it as a joke.”

“After that, this Emperor Faretel often issued a decree. There were often some things that made people laugh and cry, but most of them were better. The kingdom of Astya, this mainland island has many races mixed together. In order to improve the situation of some races, Faretel issued a similar decree. This is ignored by the three kingdoms, but the city he is in is strictly enforced. However, this city is not a rebellion, and His Majesty Faretel did not gather soldiers or anything. He just spontaneously improved the city. In the end, the title of ‘Emperor’ of Faretel was passed down.”

“Such an emperor…”

Kuro thought for a moment and glanced at the newspaper again. “Three countries have no means?”

“No, the soldiers sent out won’t really catch them, and they haven’t broken the laws of the local country, so nothing has happened until now,” said Crowe.

Kuro nodded and put the newspaper down. “That’s interesting.”

The title of Emperor is not unheard of in the sea. Although many countries are ‘kings’, there are also emperors. The full name of ‘Four Emperors’ is ‘Emperor of the Sea’, and they have unparalleled power and dominance.

In addition, Hancock is also the emperor of Amazon Lily.

And calling himself Emperor …

It doesn’t seem to be illegal.

Look at the bounty notices of the pirates now. There are all kinds of strange bounty notices, which were personally set by the World Government and Marine. It is normal for some people to call themselves emperors.

Knock, knock …

There was a knock on the office door.

“Come in,” Crowe said to that side.

The door was pushed open and a Marine saluted and said, “Vice-Admiral Kuro, Marshal Sakaski asks for you.”

“Looking for me?”

Kuro was stunned. “Why are you looking for me?”

“I’m not sure.” The Marine stood straight and replied.

“Okay, I got it.” Kuro waved his hand. “I will go there later.”

“Yes!” The Marine saluted again and left.

Seeing him leave, Kuro frowned and said, “Why are you looking for me? What’s the matter? I have a good mission recently…”

Crowe’s lips twitched. Is that you doing your job well?

Wasn’t that what he came to do?

“Kuro, you haven’t been out for months, right?” Leda asked.

“What do you mean by not going out? Didn’t I go out occasionally? I took you out for a meal for nothing,” Kuro retorted.

‘You call that going out?’

Isn’t that the same as not even leaving the headquarters?

Kuro had been resting in the headquarters for more than four months. Every day, he would lie there like a salted fish and occasionally go out to find a place to eat, causing the restaurants behind the headquarters to be very familiar with Kuro.

Even Leda was a little anxious. Sometimes, she would take a Battleship and run out to patrol and play, and he could stay there and was not afraid of getting rusty.

When Leda asked him before, Kuro rolled his eyes back. “What do you know? It’s not easy for me to relax here. What’s wrong with me taking a break? Do you know how I’ve lived for the past three years? Have I taken a break? Yes, I took a break on Pegasus Island, but compared to me in the East China Sea, is that called a break? Is that called a break?!”

Those words were strong even if it was unreasonable, making Leda roll her eyes.

“Why is Marshal Sakasugi looking for me? My head hurts…”

Kuro thought about the recent major events. It seems that there are no major events. The first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas are relatively stable. The pirates are still the same pirates, but Marine can take it. The five routes in the Shichibukai are on the right track. Although there are still pirates who reached Sabaody and escaped from the Shichibukai, at least it is not so chaotic. The remaining two routes are now the focus of Marine and they can deal with many pirates.

And the New World …

The New World is none of their business.

After the last trip to the Country of Peace, Kaido and Big Mom did not have any big news. There was news that Straw Hat, Kid, and Law were causing trouble in the Country of Peace, but they could not catch them.

Titch had also given up. There was no news for the time being, but he should be in his territory. No one knew what he was doing.

The New World has not reached its outbreak point yet. What else can he do?
