Chapter 1090: Can’t go empty-handed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a certain sea area of New World, two Battleships were sailing late at night.
Generally speaking, even ships that are sailing at night will anchor and wait for rest.
Because of the sea in the middle of the night, the degree of darkness is very high. It is better with the moon. In the moonless form, the best way is to rest, because no one knows whether they will encounter reefs.
But at this time, the two Battleships were moving forward with searchlights in the dark night.
In the office of one of the warships, two men were smoking.
“Kaz, what should we do?”
A determined-looking man was smoking a cigar and looking at a bearded man sitting there. The bearded man was smoking a cigarette, one puff after another, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts. He was frowning and thinking.
One of them was Wilbur and the other was Kaz.
David was not the only one who received the news that Kuro was going to be a general. They also received it, so when they received Crowe’s call, they rushed to the headquarters without stopping, wanting to reach the headquarters quickly to attend this banquet.
But now there is a problem.
They did not have any good gifts.
“David went to North Blue. I heard that he is going to dedicate the whole of Vinsmoke to Mr. Kuro as a congratulatory gift. Vinsmoke, you didn’t know it at the time, but I did.”
Kaz blew out a smoke ring and pinched the remaining cigarette butt in the ashtray. He said slowly, “Now our core soldier is the soldier who came out of Vinsmoke technology. Although we are happy that David found a way to get Vinsmoke’s technology, in comparison, it is just his gift, not ours.”
“That’s right.” Wilbur nodded and said, “If Mr. Kuro wants to be a general, it’s really unreasonable not to have a good gift. Damn it! As Marines, our movements are too inconvenient. Otherwise, we can go with David to take down Vinsmoke!”
David is offering the ‘wealth’ of a country to them, and now they have received the order to rush back without any preparation.
Although Mr. Kuro may not care about this, after all, they are Marine internal personnel, but from the point of view of Mr. Kuro’s subordinates, David is the same!
To congratulate Mr. Kuro, you can’t let David stand out!
If they had not come into contact with the theory written by Mr. Kuro, they could have accepted it, but they had accepted Mr. Kuro’s thoughts. The more they accepted it, the more they felt that what Mr. Kuro did had a deeper meaning.
Otherwise, why would David deal with Vinsmoke at this time? Wasn’t it because he understood Mr. Kuro’s deep meaning?
For this matter, the two of them had been in a meeting for half the night and could not think of a good plan.
Fight a pirate to liven things up? That’s what they should do. Even if Mr. Kuro doesn’t become a general, they will still do it. It’s their duty.
But the key is that there is too little they can do outside of their duty.
Unlike David, they could not blatantly conquer the country. If they wanted to conquer the country, they could be removed from the Marine the next day.
Mr. Kuro still needs them in the Marine Corps. They also love this cause, which is the closest thing to justice.
But what Marine can use as a congratulatory gift is more in-depth.
First, they can’t rob, and second, they can’t conquer. It’s basic ethics to fight pirates, so what else can they use as a gift?
“Ah…”
Wilbur put out the cigar and lit another one. He looked up in silence.
“Why don’t we ask Crowe?” Wilbur said after a while.
“Chloe?”
Kaz thought for a moment and shook his head. “It’s not appropriate to look for him again. We are both Vice-Admiral. Although Crowe has always been by Mr. Kuro’s side, Mr. Kuro will definitely not say anything. You know that Mr. Kuro will never be straightforward about anything. Many things are comprehended by ourselves. People who can’t understand Mr. Kuro’s deep truths are not worthy of following Mr. Kuro!”
As he spoke, he stood up and said in a high voice, “Ah! Mr. Kuro is finally going to become a general. I have thought for a long time that Mr. Kuro will definitely become a general, and now I have gotten what I wanted! It’s really, really…”
He could not help but cry and roar, “It’s too exciting!”
“Yeah, Cass!”
Wilbur also stood up, his face flushed with excitement. “Although I haven’t followed Mr. Kuro for a long time, after experiencing this scene, we are also honored!”
Wilbur had only followed Mr. Kuro since Sabaody. It had only been more than a year, definitely not as long as these people.
But they also have the heart to contribute.
“Sigh, think about it again. I can’t go to see Mr. Kuro empty-handed. This gift is not just a gift…”
Wilbur sat back down and pondered. “This gift must be of the same nature as David. We have come into contact with Mr. Kuro’s mind and know that what he wants is not a simple gift. Those gold and silver treasures are just a facade. What he really wants is those things. We can’t say that we went to a country to spread our thoughts. This kind of thing is not suitable for us. Someone is doing it.”
Dressrosa’s newly acquired “Dragon Tiger” group is doing such a thing, and the results are not bad. The pirate team is very large, and at the same time, it has affected many pirates. Those pirates are also affecting the surrounding countries and islands. They can’t intervene in such things.
Before Dressrosa was on the right track, they had some uses, including assigning people to spread faith in Dressrosa and helping David do things he couldn’t do.
Now that they are on the right track, there is not much they can do. The specific things have been contracted by the people trained by Dressrosa. They are just like an ordinary Marine stationed in Greenbitt and Corfu. They go out every day to patrol the pirates and then train Marine soldiers. Other than that, there is really nothing for them to do.
They are not Mr. Kuro. They can’t make that place prosperous just because of one place. They can’t even do this kind of thing because Dressrosa got Kuro’s approach, including the area he conquered, which is developing very well.
Previously, the flaw was that the high-end combat power was insufficient and there was no way to deal with the invading pirates in time. The trained soldiers and defense regiment could delay the pirates and then wait for their support. But as Dressrosa became stronger and stronger, and with the addition of “Dragon Tiger”, this matter gradually became less and less. Although there are still some, as time goes on, they will probably not even be able to go out and fight pirates in the end.
If the pirates don’t come, what else can they fight?
