Chapter 58
Locus Pirates?
In the East China Sea, Kuro lay on a recliner, looking at the sunny sea and sky, and blew out a smoke ring.
Unlike the treacherous waves of the Grand Line, East Blue made Kuro feel especially comfortable.
Powerful pirates are all on the Grand Line, and pirates have no technology to cross the Calm Belt except for risking their lives.
The weather conforms to basic common sense, people are weak, there is no danger, and the waves are calm. Why does no one cherish such a safe place? Why does everyone want to go to the Grand Line?
Kuro picked up his glass and took a sip before asking Marine next to him.
It was a military officer.
“How long until the 153rd branch?”
The soldier saluted and said, “Reporting to Second Lieutenant, the 155th Division is now in charge of the sea area. There is still a day and a half to reach the 153rd Division.”
This ship is full of first-class to third-class soldiers, and there are not many people who have real positions.
In addition to Kuro, the largest Second Lieutenant, this hundred-man ship, in addition to Lida, the military director, there is a military director standing next to Kuro, and plus Crowe totals six sergeants, commanding a total of a hundred Marines.
The ‘Corporal’ here is not like in his previous life. He really only leads five Marines. Strictly speaking, the ‘Corporal’ here can be regarded as a combat squad leader.
In the past, when Kuro was the Captain of the East China Sea, when he led the patrol ship on a cruise, he was the Captain. The Captain was the Staff Officer and the Captain was the Battle Captain.
However, Leda, a military officer, does not know how to advise at all.
As Kuro’s direct subordinates, Leda and Crowe never went out in person. Usually, the trivial matters were handed over to another military officer to execute.
They also saved time.
Listening to the report, Kuro looked at Fang Dahai and nodded slightly.
One and a half days it is. No matter what, he has already arrived in the East China Sea and is so close to the 153rd Branch. Can Kaz fly away from him?
“Pirate ship spotted ahead!”
Marine, who was looking out from the watchtower, suddenly shouted down.
“Full alert!”
The soldiers shouted and the Marines took out their weapons, and those who carried the cannon lifted the cannon.
It was too easy for the Headquarters elites to fight the small pirates of East Blue.
This ship carried a third-class soldier out. In East Blue, he would be directly counted as a Division Commander of the branch. If he was demoted and made a few contributions, he would soon become a Division Commander of the branch.
The soldier opened his binoculars and looked at the sea in the distance. “Second Lieutenant, it’s a Pirate Ship. It seems to be fighting with a Battleship.”
“Battleship?”
Kuro was surprised for a moment and said, “What kind of pirate, Pirate Flag, how many bounties?”
The military adviser was troubled. “This…”
As a Headquarters member, why would he care about the pirate bounty in East Blue, especially since this bounty is not enough for the Headquarters to pay attention to.
The crazy Straw Hat Gang from East Blue who destroyed the Judicial Island was also valued by the Headquarters with a bounty of 30 million.
As for the rest, if he did not deliberately remember it, he really would not know.
“Chloe.”
Kuro cried out.
Crowe, who was at the side, got up helplessly and walked towards Kuro. He took the military policeman’s telescope and glanced at it.
“It’s the Locks Pirates.”
“???”
Kuro was so shocked by Crowe’s words that he almost fell off the recliner.
“Who?!”
Looking at Kuro’s shocked look, Crowe said in confusion, “Lox Pirates, Captain Lox has a bounty of 2.5 million Berries, a newcomer who has debuted in East Blue in the past two years. What’s wrong?”
Crowe was a butler in East Blue, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t pay attention to the sea. He may not know about it since he has just sailed for two or three months, but in the past few months, he knows about East Blue.
He just did not understand why Kuro was so shocked.
This pirate group made him suffer a loss?
That’s impossible.
After suffering a loss, it won’t be 2.5 million anymore. Even 250 million won’t be enough.
Of course, Crowe didn’t know about Kuro’s shock. In fact, if he didn’t have his own plot strategy, he wouldn’t know what the Lox Pirates represented.
That pirate group was erased from our knowledge by the World Government.
Kuro took Crowe’s binoculars and looked over.
He wanted to see what kind of person dared to call Rox.
On the sea in front of them, a Battleship and a Pirates are shooting at each other. The cannons hit the sea around the ships of both sides, causing the ships to shake.
The ships of both sides were very close, and Kuro even saw many Marines holding guns and fighting pirates from a distance.
Those pirates are obviously stronger than the Marines over there. They are almost suppressing the Marines, but those Marines have a strong willpower for some reason. Even if someone is injured, they will drag their injured body and fight the pirates.
A very strong will to fight.
“Fire and sink the pirate ship,” Kuro ordered.
It was only 2.5 million yuan. In the past, when Kuro was the Cao Cao, he would also catch it if he encountered it, not to mention that there was a Battleship fighting with them.
“Yes! Ensign.”
After receiving the order, the Military Counsel began to order the Battleship to sail quickly. After reaching the firing range, the main gun aimed at the pirate ship and fired directly at the middle part of the pirate ship.
Boom!
The Pirate Ship blew a big gap and began to sink.
Under this attack, they also discovered the second Battleship coming over. Those brave-looking pirates panicked, which allowed the opposite Battleship to seize the opportunity. The Marines shot more fiercely and several shells hit the Pirate Ship. Now that they were hit at close range, the Pirate Ship was even more damaged.
How could there be so many people fighting on the sea? It was more of a bombardment between ships, especially in a place like the Four Seas. Even for metahumans, if the ship sinks, it is equivalent to being finished.
Under the constant attack of the two warships, the Pirate Ship completely fell apart. The pirates fell into the water and lost their will to fight and were captured by Marines.
Soon, Kuro’s Battleship bordered that Battleship.
“I am 155 Division Second Lieutenant Chatham, thank you very much for the rescue! We have been chasing the Lox Pirates for a few days and finally caught them, but we underestimated their combat power. If it were not for you, we might have failed.”
The Marine NCO on the Battleship was still injured and saluted Kuro and others with a group of Marines.
Kuro stood up and returned his greeting.
“It’s what I should do, we are all colleagues, this is all helping each other, I am Headquarters Second Lieutenant Lucilu Kuro.”
However, these words made Chatham’s eyes widen instantly.
“Luciru…Kuro?!”
He said excitedly, “It’s you, Marine Hero of East Blue! The will you made Captain Kaszao convey has impressed us. We are deeply moved by your will. We didn’t expect to see you in person today! Second Lieutenant Kuro, don’t worry, we will promote your will and fight the pirates to the end!”
“???” Kuro tilted his head and looked confused.
What have I preached about me?
Why are you so excited!
Cass, you idiot, what the hell did you advertise!
“Everyone, our Marine Hero Kuro has defeated the Pirate Locus!”
Ensign Chatham shouted excitedly at his Marines.
That sounds…
Why is it so scary?
