Chapter 981 – Chief Captain (1)

“Old man, are you looking for me?”

Kuro walked into Kizaru’s office and grinned.

Originally, he was ready to slip away. Everything was over and he had gotten rid of the burden. If he didn’t slip away, what else could he do here to avoid unnecessary trouble? However, just as he was about to leave, there was a notice that the old man was looking for him.

“Oh, Kuro, do you look happy?”

Kizaru sat there with his legs crossed, cutting his nails. When he saw Kuro, he subconsciously opened his mouth and said, “It’s strange. Is there anything happy?”

“Ah… I’m just in a good mood.”

Kuro sat directly opposite him. He leaned back and lit a cigar. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t disturb my vacation… No, I’m going to choose Shichibukai.”

“There is a small matter regarding your position. The position of G-3 Base Chief is reserved and that place is still under your jurisdiction. The nearby Marines will assist you in looking after it and it will be under your control.”

Kizaru said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, that’s it?” Kuro nodded casually.

Whether this kind of thing belongs to him or not is the same. With his back against the old man, the words he said are actually similar.

“Besides…”

Kizaru pointed to a small Den Den Mushi on the table. “Take this.”

“Yes?”

It was only then that Kuro noticed the Den Den Mushi on Kizaru’s desk. This Den Den Mushi was in an unactivated state and its size was smaller than the average Den Den Mushi. It was completely gray.

It was not used to eavesdrop, nor was it the Portable on Kuro’s wrist.

“This thing is…” Kuro asked.

“The contact Den Den Mushi, a member of [Sword], will contact you from this Den Den Mushi.” Kizaru smiled.

Sword, Kuro knew. He had just talked to the old man last time.

An organization of traitors.

The point is …

“Why did you give this to me?”

Kuro frowned and had a bad feeling.

“Well, in the past, the chosen one was Drake, but that was after he came back. Now he is one of the Captains of Sword, responsible for Pirate Intelligence in the Country of Peace and the nearby sea, but it will take some time for him to come back.”

Kizaru chuckled and said, “So, the responsibility of the Chief Captain is in your hands.”

“Wait, Old Master, this is not right!”

Kuro stood up. “G-3 sea area is now under my jurisdiction, Shichibukai is under my control, and you still want to give me a burden? A group of 25… No, a group of undercover agents? I don’t have the energy!”

“This is the decision of the higher-ups, not mine.”

Kizaru narrowed his eyes and smiled. “It’s because Fortress G-3 is gone now and they are afraid that you have nothing to do, so the higher-ups have found you a task. Well, basically no one will contact you unless the matter is important and you need to make a choice. Otherwise, these captains can make their own decisions. There are also people below you responsible for passing on intelligence, so you are basically fine. Here, this is the list.”

He took out two folders. One of the covers was [Sword] Marine Internal Personnel List, and the other was [Sword Undercover Personnel List].

Marines inside and Marines outside, all of them.

Kizaru smiled and said, “This used to be my responsibility, but now it’s yours.”

“Isn’t it good for you to continue to be a part-time employee?” Kuro gritted his teeth.

Kizaru chuckled and said, “I am old and often feel that my energy is not enough. Recently, I was injured and I need to recuperate.”

“Stop it…”

Kuro looked at his smiling face and gritted his teeth. “It has to be me?”

“Well, you know, you can’t be idle in this position. There is no base for you recently, so this is the only way.” Kizaru smiled and said: “We can also report to the government, we can’t let the government think that we have redundancies.”

“That group of people still care about this?”

Kuro pursed his lips and then sighed. He picked up the Marine internal personnel list and glanced at it.

In the Marine, there are basically members of all places, including the Four Seas Division and Grand Line.

Sword is a secret team. Even Marines of the same rank will not know about it as long as they are not members, except for senior members of their rank.

Some were members, some were captains, and it showed their life, contact information, and location.

Among them, Kuro saw a familiar name.

“Kirby?” Kuro frowned and looked up at Kizaru. “Is he one of them?”

“Who?” Kizaru asked.

“Forget it, forget I asked.”

Kuro shrugged and put the document down.

There was Kirby on it, and there was also his subordinate team, which happened to belong to the division led by Drake.

To be honest, he didn’t think Kirby was a good fit. If it was a simple Marine, Kuro had no problem with it. It wasn’t like he was one of his men. That was Karp’s own faction.

But to be a member of such a Marine secret force is probably not quite qualified.

What Garp taught can be like this?

It would be good enough if he didn’t say it everywhere.

Then, he flipped open the undercover list and was happy at first glance.

“I knew it. That idiot Kuzan must be up there.”

On the first page, at the top, there was the name of Kuzan, the sub-captain of Sword who was in charge of Blackbeard’s sphere of influence.

Although this guy said that he had broken away from the Marine, he must have some information about Blackbeard.

Kuro doesn’t doubt what Kurzan said about wanting to see the justice and truth of the world through other directions, but if you say that he really ran away to be a pirate and worked with that bastard Tiki, Kuro is the first to doubt it.

This guy has been a Marine for many years. How can he be changed so easily?

Kizaru smiled and said, “Well, he didn’t agree at first, but Granny Crane made him agree, so he is also one of them, but Kuzan rarely sends information.”

“He’s so lazy. It’s good for him to have intelligence occasionally.”

Kuro bit his cigar and blew out a mouthful of smoke and said, “Okay, I will accept this matter, but you said yourself that you will contact me if there is nothing. If there are too many things, I will quit.”

“Of course,” Kizaru said with a smile.

“Pi, every time I come here, nothing good happens. If I had known, I would have left directly.”

Kuro picked up the Den Den Mushi and the folder, stood up and left.

“Are you leaving just like that?”

“Aren’t you going to stay for dinner?”

Kuro rolled his eyes and walked out of the office.

Originally, he could not accept it, but when the old man said that he was old, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little old.

Among the original three generals, the old man was the oldest. In addition, he was injured by two Yonkō (Four Emperors). Although he was treated in time, it was normal for him to look tired.

How should he put it? He couldn’t stand it.

Anyway, it was a small matter.

This kind of thing doesn’t seem to be a problem.

Kizaru watched Kuro leave, shrugged, and continued to cut his nails. After a long time, he said with a smile:

“The intelligence department has also been given out. Well… It’s time to start building momentum and look at Sakasugi.”
