Mary Joa.
At this time, it is the World Conference. Although the conference has not officially begun, the security is still as strict as before. No, it is even stricter than before.
Not to mention the degree of chaos at sea recently, just the fact that they were attacked by the Revolutionary Army at the last World Conference shows that they have to strengthen their protection.
Batch after batch of Mariejois guards were patrolling, and they were all wearing armor and holding halberds, filling the surroundings of Mariejois. In between, there were also some CP members in black formal wear and hats. For this World Conference, the higher-ups have specially deployed CP members who are dealing with the Revolutionary Army to strengthen security.
Among them, naturally included the current CP0 chief, Rob Lucci. CP0’s attire is different from other CP0 architects. They are in white formal wear and they look clean.
“Listen carefully. What happened at the last World Conference must not happen this time.”
At this time, Lucci led his subordinates and said, “Letting the Revolutionary Army come in is our failure to protect them. This time, we must investigate thoroughly and not let any suspicious person go.”
Behind him was Kaku, who had his arms crossed. He was wearing a lady’s cape, a white dress that reached his hips, and Stussy with stockings on her thighs.
Phew!!
Just as Lucci finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly swept across the sky, blowing everyone’s clothes and hair. Several people frowned and looked up, but before they could see clearly, a figure quickly fell from the sky.
Thud!
The speed of descent was very fast, causing the object to land heavily on the exquisite floor, creating a pit.
“Who is it!”
The guards raised their halberds and stared nervously at the smoke and dust.
The dust was blown away by a gust of wind, revealing a human figure.
Seeing this person, Lucci froze for a moment and reached out to stop the guards who were about to rush up.
“What are you doing here, Kuro?” Lucci asked with narrowed eyes.
Of course, he knows this person and is even familiar with him. It’s just that he should be in Red Harbor during the World Conference.
“Don’t bother me, Lucci. I’m not in a good mood.”
Kuro took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it. He ignored him and turned to walk in the direction of the Pangu Palace.
“Hey…”
Kaku was about to speak, but Lucci stopped him.
“Leave him alone. This person has the right to come and go freely.”
Lucci said lightly, “What happens between them has nothing to do with us. Just guard this place.”
This man came to Mariejois with a long face and it was obvious that he wanted to confront Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars). He would not get involved in such things. After all, it was CP0 and they were very well-informed. They knew that Sakasugi was at a disadvantage in the Port of Hesone.
Kuro directly entered the Pangu Palace and went straight to the position between the powers. After pushing open the door, Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) was already in a pose and waiting for him. Before they could speak, Kuro threw the crumpled newspaper on the ground.
“Please give me an explanation, what is going on!”
The Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) who was about to speak were asked by Kuro. They looked at each other and the old man sitting with his hands crossed and a map on his head said in a deep voice, “Kuro, what kind of tone is this?”
“What tone? Is it a matter of tone now? I’m asking, what’s going on!”
Kuro could not hide his anger at all. He pointed at a ball of newspaper on the ground and shouted, “What do you mean defeated? This is a defeat? Huh? Take back the title? The title of the Emperor of the Sea? The Emperor of the Sea was killed by me! He just happened to sneak attack Sakasugi, is he worthy of taking back the title? And this picture! Why is there such news? It is too perfect!”
“Watch your tone, Luciru Kuro!”
The long-bearded old man shouted, “Morgans is not us. We don’t know what he did. We also saw the newspaper. We didn’t give him the photo. Maybe someone sold the photo for money.”
Are you lying to a child?!
Kuro was so angry that he puffed out the cigar smoke. “There’s a price to pay for this! It’s not easy to fight this situation, but now it will be returned empty-handed because of this news!”
He did not believe in selling photos. Although Morgan fell out with the World Government four years ago, in fact, they must be connected. How could such news be released without their tacit approval? Or, no one would take such photos and sell them!
They will only do this if they acquiesce!
“Kuro…”
The old man said lightly, “Don’t be so angry. This kind of thing is indeed beyond our expectations, but it also represents an opportunity, your opportunity.”
“What chance?”
Kuro said, “I have a lot of messes and I still have a chance. Now the sea is so chaotic that I can sink pirates into the sea and make a pot of stew with the Sea Kings!”
At this time, the red-skinned old man said: “Sakaski has been doing too much recently. He doesn’t listen to orders and commands indiscriminately. Now, not only is the New World in chaos, but our base camp is also in chaos because of the Revolutionary Army. In addition, he has been defeated and his prestige has been damaged. For the pirates, the pressure on the town is no longer enough. But seeing that he has made a lot of contributions in the Marine Corps, we will not mistreat any Marine with credit and a heart for the government. Kong has recently submitted a resignation letter, and we intend to let Sakaski take that position.”
Empty?
Kuro had heard of this person before. He was Sengoku’s superior and the commander-in-chief of the World Government.
‘He resigned?’
If Sakasugi is on, it means… Sakasugi wants to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army?
No!
Kuro suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, “Wait, Marshal Sakasugi is transferred, then Marine Marshal’s position…”
“You do it,” the curly-haired old man said. “Kuro, you do it. With your qualifications and prestige, no one will compete with you.”
“I don’t agree!!”
Kuro immediately shouted, “What do you mean I’m the Marshal! Changing positions at the last minute will be a big taboo on the battlefield. It’s a time of war now. We are fighting with pirates. If we change it now, the overall command will be chaotic! Without Sakasugi, how can we maintain the battle with pirates!”
The old man with the knife said, “So don’t be so angry, because this matter is good for you. Sakasugi can’t end the Yonkō (Four Emperors) era and can only maintain the war situation with pirates. You are different. You ended the Yonkō (Four Emperors) era, and we believe you can also end this war.”
The old man on the map nodded and said, “Yes, pirates can’t be killed. It’s enough to suppress their arrogance. If you go on stage, you can definitely do it beautifully.”
“We believe you, Kuro.” Several old men spoke together.
Kuro stood there with a slightly confused expression and said subconsciously, “You will cause a misunderstanding…”
He was here to cause trouble, not to take credit.
Besides, he did not want to be a Marshal!
