Chapter 1099: Marine Is Finished
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The seven-day banquet began at noon and lasted until evening. Marines came constantly. Kuro did not have to return the greetings one by one, but he had to meet them.
That was what Kuro originally thought. He quickly pulled the old man to the highest position in the Celestial Guardian Pavilion and said a few words of blessing and this matter was over.
It has nothing to do with him in the first place. Perhaps his general will accept his fate in seven days, or maybe it will come down in the middle. Then he will try not to show his face and minimize the impact of the matter.
However, he began to realize that something was wrong because in addition to the gift for the old man, he suddenly received a gift.
At this time, in the tallest and largest restaurant, Kuro is sitting at the head of the table, in front of Crowe, Basil, Fanny, and the yawning Moore. Leda is sitting next to him, scratching the large number of gold ornaments on the table.
“Hey, Kuro, this is so beautiful.”
Leda held a golden scepter and stood on a chair and waved it. She laughed and said, “I am the Queen!”
“Stop it, you’re a Marine Queen? What’s the difference between this and being an Emperor in the Republic? Come down!”
Kuro snatched the golden scepter and touched it. He clicked his tongue and said, “This is of good quality. Who gave it to me?”
“It’s Major Paryville, from East Blue,” Crowe answered honestly.
“Major of East Blue? Branch?”
“Headquarters.”
In addition to the base, there are also those who are stationed or patrolling from the Grand Line, such as Fimboldi and Smoker.
“Headquarters also can’t do it. A major, such a big golden scepter, look at the gem on it, the quality is very good. Go and find out what this person did.”
Kuro threw the scepter on the table and bit his cigar. “Also, where did so many gifts come from? Why did you give them to me? Let me tell you, don’t use this to test the cadres. In this world, in the Marine, no cadre can withstand such a test!”
There is no such thing as giving gifts against the law in this world. Even if you collude with pirates, as long as you don’t go too far, you can just punish yourself with three glasses.
Kuro had been here for more than twenty years and had long followed the crowd. Of course, he was also the kind of person who was corrupted and fallen. He was not a good person, and he had never thought of himself as a good person.
He was not puzzled by the gift, but by the reason for the gift at this juncture.
“Who exposed me?” Kuro narrowed his eyes and stared at the few people standing in front of him. “Didn’t I say to keep a low profile? Did I say that this matter is not yet decided? Don’t spill it out first and deal with it quietly. Even if you become a general, you will deal with it quietly. What the hell?”
Crowe pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Kuro, you know me. If I did it, if I did it, no one will know.”
You can still do it!
Kuro pulled the corners of his mouth and glared at Crowe.
“Kuro, you know me. I’m super lazy. If I don’t do this kind of thing, I might as well sneak out to give people warmth.”
As he spoke, Moore yawned as if he hadn’t slept well.
You must have run out again at night!
“Vice-Admiral Kuro, you know me. I’m busy making Marine pills. If Vice-Admiral Crowe didn’t pull me to the gate, I would have gone back to the lab.” Fanny stretched and said, “It’s been very tiring standing up for the past two days.”
Kuro’s eyes lingered on Fanny’s outstanding figure when she stretched, and his eyes were on the gold when Leda stared at him.
This little girl’s figure has been getting more and more lecherous recently. Perhaps it’s because she has absorbed too much of the plague. Now, wherever she is, there will be no influenza virus in the surroundings.
Kuro even wondered if he should give her some tricks one day and develop it in a different direction. Humans must have bacteria and viruses in their bodies and maintain a balance with the immune system of the human body. Only with balance can there be human activity. But if this balance is unbalanced, it will not be good.
But it’s not time yet. Fanny’s current development level is not high. I’ll see if there’s this opportunity later.
Leda rolled her eyes. “Kuro…”
“I know, you just eat.” Kuro rolled his eyes. “I am most at ease with you.”
“Hmph!” Leda curled her lips. Although she was said so, she felt a little unhappy.
Finally, he fixed his eyes on Basil.
Sazir opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he held it back and finally said, “Vice-Admiral Kuro, you know me. I am a very honest person. It’s just that someone asked me what gift, so I said it.”
You’re it!
“Back then, you wanted to kill the Captain and take over his position. You are so honest!”
Kuro cursed, “What’s the matter? Are you trying to clear your name? You came all the way to Marine and you can’t even think straight. The key is that our Marine is not decent!”
In the eyes of the pirates, they are really not a good person. The pirates are idealistic and they believe that they are right. The Marines who stand in their way are a big villain.
“Huh? Marines aren’t decent?” Leda tilted her head. “What do you mean?”
There are many people present who have been pirates and fake pirates. Leda is not wanted and can be regarded as a fake pirate. Crowe is the captain and Basil is a trainee pirate. They all think that Marine is a decent pirate.
“What do you mean by decent? I’m telling you what’s decent! For example, Straw Hat, that idiot. Apart from having a clear goal, the purpose of this guy’s existence is to stop other people’s dreams. He only acts when something happens. He acts like a victim every day, and he acts in a minority. He’s very angry every day. What is this? This is standard decency!”
“Compared to us Marines, we have great ideals or ambitions, and there are also people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, such as Sakasugi. Every day, we work hard to train and prepare for a certain goal. Even if we fail, we will not be discouraged. There are also people who are always laughing, such as the old man. Yes, people like us are the villains!”
“What are you talking about, Kuro?”
Leda looked at Kuro strangely. “Did you drink too much recently and your head is broken, Fanny…”
“Ah? Is your head broken?”
Fanny thought for a moment and took out her diary. She said to Kuro very seriously, “Vice-Admiral Kuro, please tell me the specific symptoms. I will go back and study it. Before that, I can try the ‘Marine Pill’ series of sobriety pills that I recently developed. It can keep people excited and awake, and there is also a sense of pain relief. It can make people think quickly. The only side effect is that it is addictive and it destroys the nerves, but it doesn’t matter. I will slowly study the side effects and then promote it.”
“Stop it!”
Kuro hurriedly said: “Your promotion will be the end of Marine!”
