1220 A More Powerful One
“Kouzan?”
Mongoose Snake and Can Lan were both shocked. Can Lan’s eyes shook and he said: “I know this name, isn’t that Marine Admiral?”
“Admiral?!” The others widened their eyes.
Admiral, doesn’t that mean that he is on the same level as that golden guy?!
“He’s not a general anymore, he has left the Marine, but…”
He stared at Kuzan, his body tense and he did not dare to relax.
But they were still enemies.
Although he is no longer a Marine, Isamu doesn’t think that he will be merciful to them. This guy is on Tiki’s side in [Battle of the End]!
Because of his existence, the Whitebeard Pirates suffered a crushing defeat and were allowed to invade Dad’s territory.
A cool breeze came from the shallows, making people tremble unconsciously. The tall and thin man raised his hand, which seemed to have an extremely cold air, making them tense up and ready to attack.
Kuzan scratched the back of his head and said, “Alalala… Don’t be so nervous, I don’t mean any harm. I just want to ask how to get to the City of Flowers.”
“Flower Capital… Are you going to find Kuro?!” Isamu asked.
“Ah la la, I just found out that it’s an acquaintance. Long time no see.”
Kuzan greeted him and said, “So how do we get to the City of Flowers?”
Everyone was silent for a moment. They did not want to tell Kuzan that even if this guy quit the Marine, he would not go against the Marine. They heard that he had a good relationship with Kingpin. Once he went to Kano City, the situation would be even more difficult for them.
However, it was useless not to tell him about this kind of thing. He could just ask again.
“That white peak is where the City of Flowers is.”
Just as everyone was hesitating, Light Moon Day pointed to the huge sky-reaching peak behind and said honestly.
“Princess!”
Chuan Jiro shouted, “How can you say it at this time!”
“Ah? Can’t you tell me? I’m just asking for directions,” Light Moon Day said strangely.
“Ah, thank you…”
Kurzan nodded and, while the others were on guard, he directly passed them and walked towards the back with Penguin, who had a determined look on his face.
This made Isamu relieved. No matter what… with their size, if this person suddenly attacked, they would not be his opponent.
Just as he relaxed, the walking body suddenly froze.
Kuzan stood still and turned to look at them, his eyes passing over them one by one.
“Ala…”
Kuzan thought about it and sighed. “Speaking of which, let’s arrest you so that when Kuro asks me later, he will say that I don’t do anything.”
The cold wind whistled even more fiercely, and it also made his heart fall to the bottom. He took a deep breath and held the blade in his hand…
… .
“Admiral, Admiral!!”
On the fifth floor, Basil ran in in a hurry and shouted at Kaido, who was guarding him and drinking and smoking, “Come, someone is coming!”
“Yes?”
Kuro raised his eyebrows and said, “Why are you panicking? Are Shichibukai here?”
“No, it’s not Shichibukai. There’s someone more powerful, it’s…”
“It’s me.”
Just as Basil was about to say who it was, a voice came from behind. He turned his head and saw that the tall and thin man was already standing behind him, reaching out his hand to greet him.
Kuro was stunned and then clicked his tongue. “What are you doing here, Kusan?”
With that, he waved his hand to dismiss Basil.
“I’m here to see you. You’ve done such a big thing. I’m very curious. I’m also here to see this grand occasion.”
Kuzan walked over and unceremoniously drew a bottle from the triangular wine rack. He looked at the sign and said, “Don Peli? This wine is quite expensive, but I don’t think it’s as good as Shirley wine.”
Kuro rolled his eyes and pointed to the wine rack below and said, “Shirley’s wine is down there. Also, if you don’t know how to drink, don’t drink it. Go out and be a pirate and cross the poverty line.”
Kuzan shrugged. “Well, try something else.”
He uncorked the wine and sat on the floor, not caring that the floor was not dirty. He took a sip of wine and then looked at Kaido. “Yo, long time no see, Kaido.”
“Are you a Aokiji?”
Kaido grinned and said, “Oh, what a feast. You are working with pirates, but you are still connected to Marines. You can’t be trusted.”
“Well, I’m just not a Marine anymore. I didn’t say I would definitely be a pirate.” Kuzan took another sip of wine. “There is no bounty for me on the sea.”
Kuro clicked his tongue and said, “Where did you get the news, did Crane tell you?”
“Alalala, do you want to ask in detail, Kuro?” Kurzan laughed.
Kuro snapped, “I think you should be more respectful to your commanding officer, Division Captain Kuzan of ‘Sword’, huh?”
“Don’t care about the details. Speaking of which…”
Kuzan glanced at Kaido again. “He defeated the Yonkō (Four Emperors) era in one fell swoop. What a big move. But just as I thought, even if the Yonkō (Four Emperors) era is over, the world will not change. We Marines… What’s the point of doing such a thing?”
Kuro put down the bottle, bit his cigar and blew out some smoke. “Are you a pirate? Isn’t it because of our existence that pirates are not so rampant in this world? Otherwise, look at this…”
He pointed at Kaido and said, “Without us, Yonkō (Four Emperors) wouldn’t be holed up in the New World. Where can he fight? It’s not too much to occupy one of the four seas.”
Kaido, who was pointed at by Kuro, grinned even more.
“Ah, I’m just complaining. After all, I’m just a confused person pursuing justice.”
Kuzan smiled. “So, what are you going to do next? Are you going to find Tiki?”
“Why am I looking for him? How can I easily catch that kind of person? Do I have to play hide-and-seek with him in the sea? If you can come to me, it means that you don’t have much contact with that bastard Tiki, right?”
Kuro rolled his eyes. “It’s not me who wants to deal with him, it’s those ambitious pirates. Next, we just have to observe. The New World is never our territory. Let them make a fuss.”
“Really…” Kuzan said meaningfully.
He did not come here just to hear the news. After traveling for so long, he had been to many places and naturally, he had been to… Dressrosa!
However, there are still some questions that need to be confirmed in person.
But now, looking at Kuro’s casual answer, this guy… is still deeply hidden.
“That’s right, you came at the right time. Do it for me, I’m tired of looking at this face every day,” Kuro said to him.
He didn’t know why this person was here, but he could replace him. With Kuzan’s strength, it was enough to see Kaido.
