Chapter 45
A Small Request
In the next few days, Kuro ran to Kizaru when he had nothing to do, mainly because the transfer order was with Kizaru. If he wanted to return to East Blue, he still had to rely on Kizaru.
Without his tacit approval, he would not be able to leave the sea.
Headquarters Warrant Officer can’t apply for a ship without permission.
Fortunately, he is under Kizaru, and generals are not easily dispatched. If it were an ordinary general, he would probably go to sea with others.
Therefore, he stayed very safe. When the time comes, he will grind a Battleship before the war and go to East Blue.
The War Of The Best is fought by elite Marines from all over the world. I am not an elite and my position is still very low. If you want to recruit me, you have to follow the procedures, right?
This is also the reason why Kuro ran to Kizaru to improve their relationship. When the time comes, this old man will not be able to bring himself from afar.
Therefore, he would definitely not make any contributions.
He hasn’t seen Luffy’s bounty yet, and the incident on the Judicial Island hasn’t happened yet. There’s no hurry, let’s just fish here.
Office.
Kuro slumped in his chair, looking up at the cigar in his mouth, and Kizaru opposite him was cutting his nails.
Kuro blew out a smoke ring and asked, “Old man, how can I be as strong as you?”
“It’s strange that you would ask such a question… Well, I think it’s the so-called sense of security. I suggest you fight more different types of people, maybe you will have better understanding.”
Kuro waved his hand with a look of refusal.
Battle is to fight pirates, and fighting pirates is to make a contribution. Making a contribution is a promotion. If you want me to be promoted, dream on!
Kizaru said, “Well, you can also eat the Devil Fruit, which has the power to surpass miracles. But can you eat the Devil Fruit? Your swordsmanship is so strong, don’t you want the throne of the world’s number one swordsman?”
Why is Hawkeye known as the world’s number one swordsman? First of all, his swordsmanship is indeed number one in the world. Second of all, he only has swordsmanship, pure swordsmanship.
However, Kuro was not interested in this throne. It was such a dangerous position.
He just wanted to be stronger, the stronger the safer.
Kizaru already knows about it anyway, and he said that this matter will not be exposed.
“Fruit…”
Kuro thought about it and said dejectedly, “There doesn’t seem to be any powerful fruit.”
He has no objection to eating Devil Fruit. It is good to become stronger, but the Devil Fruit he wants to eat must be absolutely safe.
Logia?
That is, of course, the first choice, but those at the top of the Logia are all eaten.
Magma Fruit, Glittering Fruit, Frozen Fruit.
This is the top, representing the greatest horror of nature.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit?
He wanted it. It’s probably not too late to get the floating island now. The key is that he killed Enel and he can’t guarantee that he will get the Lightning Fruit. If someone else gets it, it will be another Admiral. What if it’s not Marine, what if he encounters it somewhere, wouldn’t that be looking for trouble?
It’s better to let Enel take this fruit to the Moon and remove a danger first.
As for the other Logia, Kuro doesn’t know what is strong about them.
Steam fruit?
Is there such a thing?
Even if there was, Kuro would not eat it.
He had no intention of opening a bathhouse after retirement.
Paramecia?
This is a strange ability, but the key is that it is too strange. The sea is so big, where can I find the kind that can increase my strength? I don’t want my strength to decrease instead of increase after eating it.
After all, Devil Fruit has a big flaw here.
Animal Department?
If it is developed to the extreme, it will have the strongest life-healing ability and can also strengthen its own physique. However, ordinary species and ancient species are too weak for Kuro. The esper system can be considered, but the key is that it is rarer than the Logia system.
There is really no fruit suitable for Kuro.
“Don’t worry, you are only in your twenties. At my age, I am not as strong as you. Young people nowadays are so scary,” Kizaru said.
“This sea has never been calculated like this.”
Kuro curled his lips. If you really want to calculate it this way, don’t fight Supernovas in the future.
“Okay, I’m leaving.”
Kuro took another box of Kizaru’s cigars and prepared to leave.
“Well, wait a minute.”
Kizaru opened the drawer and took out a big gift box and said, “If you like smoking, I’ll give you some.”
“Hehe, the old man is loyal and will definitely take care of you in your old age.”
Kuro chuckled and took the gift box without hesitation.
“By the way, this old man approves of your matter. This old man allows you to act freely and go wherever you want.”
Kizaru suddenly said.
“Huh?!”
Kuro’s eyes widened. “Really?”
This was his main purpose for coming here for the past few days.
“Really, but…”
‘But?’
“Goodbye, Old Master.”
Kuro turned around and left. When he heard this, he knew that nothing good would happen.
“Well, you are under my command. I am very indulgent of you. Can’t you agree to a little request?”
Kizaru looked pitiful. “I treat you as my son.”
“Stop joking.”
Kuro turned around. “Tell me. I won’t do anything too dangerous.”
“It’s not dangerous. It’s even very low-key. It suits you very well. Do you know Pluto?” Kizaru said.
“One of the three dominant weapons of the world, who doesn’t know that?”
“The information of Hades is in Water Seven. I want you to go to Water Seven to pick up the spies lurking there. Your position is low and it is easy for you to do things. You just need to pick them up. This matter is not dangerous, right?”
Kuro muttered to himself.
‘Is it dangerous?’
It doesn’t seem to be very dangerous. He’s just going to pick them up. There’s no need for him to do anything. Besides, there’s no place for him to do anything. He’s going to Water Seven, not the Judicial Island.
If there was any danger, it would be Luffy and the others. These people would definitely run here, and Kuro did not want to encounter these troublemakers. He felt that something would happen.
To be safe, or…
Kuro was about to refuse when Kizaru said, “If you go to meet them, I will give you the freedom to decide.”
Free arbitration, that is, he can do whatever he wants.
After the matter is done, he can sail to the East China Sea, and the war will end. Even if Kizaru does not abdicate, he can stay in the East China Sea.
“Okay, let’s do it, but I promise you, I don’t care about anything, I’m only responsible for the support,” Kuro said.
“Sure, this is your Den Den Mushi.”
Kizaru took out a Den Den Mushi and a note. “It’s exclusive to you. My number is on it. If you need anything, contact me.”
Don’t worry, I won’t contact you if anything happens.
And nothing will happen.
Kuro took the Den Den Mushi, which was in the shape of a watch and easy to carry.
“Let’s go, Old Master.”
Kuro waved his hand and walked out.
Kizaru watched his back and chuckled. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before continuing to cut his nails.
“Well, it’s almost lunch break. Should I go find Sakasugi?”
