No Way, No Way

Kaido would not be able to come up for a while, and Kuro did not give him a chance to catch up. He had already run far away.

Under the starry night, two figures flew in the air.

After waiting for a long time, Kuro was sure that he did not see any dragons chasing after him in the sky and was relieved.

With this relief, he almost felt a little collapsed.

The highly concentrated high-intensity attack lasted for a day and he even used two moves, ‘Yellow Dragon’.

He couldn’t stand it either.

“Tsk…”

After sending him down, he removed his Armament Haki and subconsciously covered his head.

His entire body was in pain, especially his head. Previously, he was grabbed by Kaido and pierced through the island. His injuries were not light.

“Kuro, are you okay?” Kizaru floated in front of Kuro and glanced at him.

“It’s not a big problem. You came on time,” Kuro said.

“Oh, that’s good. I heard that you were high in the sky and you scared me. When did you get Golden Lion’s ability?”

These words stunned Kuro.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have exposed his ability to the old man.

He looked around. Under the starry night, there were no clouds. Only the two of them flew alone in the night sky, which was solid evidence.

“Well, Old Master, listen to my nonsense… No, listen to my explanation.”

“What about this ability? I picked it up. It was Leda who suddenly discovered the Devil Fruit and I ate it. In the end, I found that it was the Float Fruit and I didn’t have time to report it. I wanted to exercise again.”

“In the end, as a man of the sea, it’s normal for me to eat Devil Fruit or something.”

Kuro did his best to make his expression sincere.

“Oh, that’s strange.”

Kizaru pointed to Kuro’s side. “Then you picked up these two swords?”

Kuro took a look and his heart turned cold. Beside him floated [Sakura Ten] and [Wooden]. The quality of these two [Famous Blades] was too good and they did not hit Kaido together under Kuro’s ability.

He was used to controlling these two swords. Just now, out of combat instinct, he summoned them back.

At this moment, Kuro could only bite the bullet and say, “Yes! I picked them up. I’m blind to swords and I don’t know whether these two swords are good or not.”

Kizaru smiled and said, “When you confronted Whitebeard, we heard it through Den Den Mushi. Kuro, you said that you killed Golden Lion. It’s really surprising.”

What the hell?!

Kuro widened his eyes and was shocked.

At that time, Whitebeard actually dialed Den Den Mushi? What was he doing?

It’s not enough for so many people to beat me up, you still want to call for more people?

Kuro immediately guessed what was going on, but the key is that even if you shout, don’t let Headquarters hear it!

He looked at Kizaru’s teasing eyes and instantly turned into an old Onmyoji.

“No way, no way, no one really thinks that I killed Golden Lion. No way, does anyone still believe this? Golden Lion disappeared for so many years, he must have died of old age.”

“Let me tell you, Old Master, don’t jump to conclusions without evidence. The Golden Lion is long gone. I didn’t kill the Golden Lion and I won’t be promoted.”

The last sentence was the main point.

Kizaru looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled. “Well… that kind of thing doesn’t matter. As long as you’re fine, let’s go back to headquarters first.”

“Can I not go back?”

Kuro looked at Kizaru with an unusually sincere look in his eyes. “Old man, look, Whitebeard is heading to the headquarters now. It must be a power vacuum, and other pirates are likely to take advantage of it. The balance of the New World cannot be broken. I think that as a Marine, maintaining the balance is also my mission. I will stay in the New World to prevent other pirates from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.”

“Oh, that won’t do. Marshal Sengoku personally asked me to take you back. In addition, the current Headquarters is to gather all the troops. As a Major of Headquarters, you can’t escape. Although I don’t care, you can’t refuse orders at will.”

Kizaru shook his head and killed Kuro’s whimsical proposal.

Kuro’s lips twitched.

I spent so much effort to be sent flying by the bear, but in the end, I first faced Whitebeard and then Kaido. Now I have to return to the headquarters to participate in the war?

Then what is the point of my hard work?

Wouldn’t it be easier for me to stay in the headquarters in the beginning?

But he looked at Kizaru, who was smiling, and found that he should not be able to run.

“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket rang again.

“Who is it in the middle of the night?”

Kuro picked it up angrily and Leda’s voice came from inside. “Kuro, are you okay? Where are you now?”

“Me? I am floating in the sky, thinking about life!” Kuro rolled his eyes.

There was a burst of laughter in the Den Den Mushi, as if they were eating.

“Is that Mr. Kuro, Mr. Kuro, I am Kirby!”

Den Den Mushi’s appearance seems to have changed into a silly boy with eyes on his forehead.

“Brother Kuro, it’s good that you’re okay. Come back quickly.”

This is Sentomaru.

‘I’m coming back? I’m still hurrying?’

Should I hurry back to the war?

Kuro wanted to strangle Sentomaru.

Then Den Den Mushi turned into Crowe.

“Mr. Kuro, we caught more than 500 pirates in Sabaody Archipelago. This time, we executed your plan perfectly, and you can be promoted without any worries. After this report is reported, because it concerns tenryubito, the promotion is especially fast, but you did not participate in it personally, so we only gave you a promotion, and you are now a Lieutenant Colonel. As for Leda and I, because of our performance, we are now both majors.”

“What did you say?!”

Kuro was stunned for a long time before he shouted at Den Den Mushi, “Koro, say it again?!”

“I’ve been promoted, Mr. Kuro. I’ve perfectly cooperated with your idea. You don’t have to be touched. This is what I should do as a subordinate.”

Crowe’s voice was a little airy, as if he had drunk too much.

“What the hell…”

Kuro opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but when he remembered that there seemed to be others opposite him, he resisted the urge.

Then, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

My thoughts?

Stay in a safe place, then slowly catch a few small pirates, slowly make achievements, get promoted without being famous, and finally get promoted to an officer, then live a safe and comfortable life.

Thinking about it this way, Crowe’s method of personally arresting people to share the credit is correct.

But now …

This is not the time!

Wait until I find a safe place before you do this!

Besides, it’s impossible now!

The higher-ups already know what they have done. At this time, it is best not to show up!

“Chloe, have you not read the recent newspapers?” Kuro gritted his teeth.

“Newspaper? What newspaper? I’ve been catching pirates and I don’t have time to read the newspaper,” Crowe said.

“Then find a newspaper to read!”

Kuro slammed the phone down.

“Oh~ How strange, you got promoted again, Kuro ‘Lieutenant Colonel’,” Kizaru said with a smile.

“Stop joking, old man!”

Kuro roared at him and then sighed as if he had deflated.

“Let me say this first, I am injured, I need to rest!”

“Well, let’s go back first. My order is to take you back.”
