Chapter 107
Banquet
In a luxurious-looking restaurant in Marien Vando, Kuro led a wave of people in.
Leda, Crowe, Sentomaru, Smoker, Daski, Tina, Zango, Finbodi, Kirby, Berumeber.
“Lida, I allow you to eat freely today. Order whatever is expensive. Don’t worry, someone will pay.”
Kuro touched Lida’s head and said.
“Oh! Really? I didn’t eat enough just now.” Leda cheered.
Seeing this scene, Smoker’s eyelids jumped.
“Hey, Tina, lend me some money later.”
He leaned over to Tina and whispered.
“Tina is surprised.”
Tina looked at Smoker in surprise. “You actually know how to borrow money. You are a little more tactful than before, Smoker, no, Brigadier Smoker.”
“Shut up, just borrow money.” Smoker blushed.
During the battle of Crocodile, Smoker and Tashigi were both promoted one level. Smoker is now a Brigadier General and Tashigi is a Second Lieutenant.
The treatment of a brigadier general should be the kind that is so good.
However, no matter how good the treatment was, it was hard to say if he would encounter a big-bellied king who was also a big-bellied king who was cured by Kuro.
Looking at Smoker’s ashen face, Sentomaru still did not understand.
Food… How much can it cost.
The group found a large private room.
Kuro looked at the menu handed over by the waiter and pointed to a few dishes. “These, no.”
Hearing this, Smoker was relieved. Fortunately, Kuro still gave him face.
“Give me three rounds of the other dishes first.”
Thud!
Smoker’s head hit the table.
“Well, it’s not enough. There’s still wine. More wine, today… to celebrate my promotion.” Kuro lit a cigar and looked like a big shot.
Anyway, he didn’t need to spend money.
Besides, the people of this world have a big appetite.
Everyone here is a Marine of Headquarters, and they are no worse than others when it comes to eating.
The last three rounds were just appetizers.
“Tina is very happy. It has been a long time since I attended such a party. Smoker, the last time was when the two of us drank too much.” Tina smiled with a cigarette in her hand.
Smoker polished the match and lit the two cigars in his mouth. “Of course Marines have to relax sometimes. We are not machines.”
Tina looked around, her eyes surprised.
Although the people here are not high-level, they surprisingly represent various factions.
She herself has a good relationship with Crane and belongs to his faction.
Smoker represented Aokiji.
Kuro and Sentomaru represent Kizaru.
Kirby and the others represented Garp.
In the Marine, most of the famous generals are here.
Tina ran into Smoker when she dropped Coop off at the back of Justice Island. She heard from Smoker that Kuro was already Kizaru’s direct subordinate, and she was surprised.
But when he came back to his senses, the current situation was more surprising.
Sentomaru was a little nervous. It was his first time attending such a gathering. In the past, he was only protecting Vegapunk in the Scientific Force, but this was his first time eating with a Marine colleague.
It was also the first time for Kirby and Beru Maybo. Kirby was sitting upright, but Beru Maybo was not too nervous.
But he was also a little nervous.
The people in front of him were not small characters.
Sentomaru was said to be Kizaru’s subordinate.
Tina and Smoker are both Marine Admiral majors.
Kuro is also a Marine Major.
They were all Marine Admiral Schools.
“I have always firmly believed that Mr. Kuro will definitely become a Marine Admiral!”
Kirby clenched his fists and said excitedly, “Congratulations, Mr. Kuro.”
“Haha…”
Kuro’s mouth twitched and he suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to be one of the people who tricked him.
“The Old Marine is different, he is actually a Major, but Kuro, I will chase after him immediately!”
Beelzebub, who is still Head of Cao, spoke with conviction.
“Me too!”
Kirby looked hopeful. “Sooner or later, I will surpass Mr. Kuro and then I will also become a Marine Admiral!”
He can compete with Kuro. As long as he works harder, he will definitely surpass Mr. Kuro.
Crowe pushed his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end, he held it in.
The dishes were quickly served and filled the table.
Raising her hand, Kirby looked at the wine glasses on Leda’s dining table and asked, “Um… can Miss Leda drink it too? How about some juice?”
“Who are you looking down on!”
Leda immediately transformed into a girl and slammed the table, saying angrily, “I’m older than you.”
“Sorry! Miss Leda!” Kirby immediately shrank his neck.
“Drink it…”
Kuro thought for a moment and said, “The current Mariwando can still relax.”
No one else reacted to this, but Smoker and Tina looked at each other.
Sure enough, Kuro also knew what happened next.
“To celebrate Mr. Kuro’s promotion!”
Kirby was the first to raise his glass and act as a person who livened up the atmosphere.
Next came Beru Merber.
Zangor and Finbodi.
Then, a group of people raised their glasses and drank together.
“Woo… Wow!”
Leda drank the wine in one gulp and breathed a long sigh of relief. Her eyes lit up.
“Is it good?”
Kuro looked at her, giving people the feeling that he was ready to call Juice if something was wrong.
Lida nodded vigorously. “There is a refreshing feeling in one breath!”
Kuro smiled and picked up a piece of meat on his plate with a fork and chewed it.
Next, he poured himself another glass. The clear wine swirled in the transparent glass and he drank it in one gulp.
The wine in this restaurant is indeed refreshing.
Very relaxed.
Unlike in a small place, in the Headquarters, if you don’t want to go to war, then it is indeed very relaxing.
After a few drinks, everyone gradually let go.
“Brewel Maybo, actually he has changed a lot. He used to be a young master in the 153rd branch, but I have never seen him. Mr. Kuro, do you know what he used to look like?”
After a few drinks, Kirby’s face was obviously red.
“Hey, Kirby, don’t talk about my ugly things, or I will tell others about the things you used to do on the Pirate Ship!” Berumeber shouted.
Pirate Ship …
Crowe and Zangoo’s hands holding the wine glasses trembled slightly and they looked at each other.
Zangor raised his cup and shouted, “Captain, we are all Marines now. You are no longer my Captain!”
“Huh?” Crowe looked over.
Zangoo trembled in fear and swallowed his saliva, not daring to move.
“Call me Ensign, asshole,” Crowe said lightly.
“Hahaha, yes, Ensign!”
Zangor raised his cup and clinked it with Crowe’s.
“Oh? There are three pirates here?”
The hand holding the wine glass paused slightly and looked at the three people. “Kuro, your men used to be pirates? Or Captain?”
“Ah… but I quit three years ago. Anyway, the bounty has been withdrawn. Speaking of which, it’s a coincidence. Crowe, the person who caught your fake body just happens to be Beru Maybo’s father, my old boss, Monca.”
Kuro smiled at Crowe. “After capturing you, Monka was promoted to a colonel bit by bit.”
“I have heard of that man. He is a very dominant colonel in East Blue.”
Smoker finished the cup in one go and looked at Beru Maybo. “Is that your father? He made a scene in East Blue and was stopped by Kuro. I heard that he escaped from Vice-Admiral Garp.”
“Hahahaha…”
Beru Membo was sweating profusely as he looked up and laughed. “It’s all in the past, the past.”
He felt that the situation was not good.
