This sea king's problem is certainly not about Lida littering.

If you walk by the river often, you're bound to wet the bed.

Even if you're wrapped in seastone and constantly traveling to and from the Calm Belt, there will always be some unlucky ones who will encounter sea kings.

Therefore, not many people dare to travel by boat to the Calm Belt, let alone such a small warship.

Generally, sea kings like these will devour any sea king they encounter.

But this time, the sea kings seem to have miscalculated.

Kuro glared at the corpse. "We'll have seafood for dinner tonight!"

Actually, he wanted to eat monkey brains more.

Harboring resentment towards Kizaru, Kuro returned to his office alone.

That resentment could be smelled from a great distance.

Lida and Crow exchanged a glance and went inside as well.

Kuro plopped down in a chair, lit a cigar, and stood there in a daze.

He had been in a daze for a long time.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Kroo..."

"Um?"

"I have always trusted you."

For no apparent reason, Chloe felt a chill.

He now has a conditioned reflex: whenever Kuro speaks to him in that tone, it's definitely not going to be good.

"I have a friend... never mind, I don't have any friends, it's just me. You give me a suggestion on how to avoid staying at headquarters."

Participating in the summit or something is just talk; of course, it's best to avoid it if possible.

He couldn't figure it out by himself, but there are other people here.

Even if Lida, who's a bit dim-witted, doesn't have any good suggestions, three rotten eggs are still better than one good egg.

And isn't there a Kro?

"In my eyes, you have a very high IQ, comparable to Hugh Jackman."

Hugh Jackman?

"Who is that?" A question mark appeared on Kro's glasses.

"No, it's Ben Beckman."

Kuro thought for a moment and remembered the name, "It's that red-haired first mate."

Although in his eyes, this so-called high intelligence seemed not much different from Wolverine's recklessness...

"You flatter me."

Kro pushed up his glasses. "I just have some immature ideas. Compared to the first mate of the Sea Emperor, I'm still far behind."

However, he was still somewhat moved.

In Mr. Kuro's eyes, is his role so important and his position so high?

"That's basically it."

The next moment, Kuro waved his hand dismissively, "Quickly think of a solution for me."

“Mr. Kuro, please forgive my bluntness.”

Kuro said, "You have now inherited everything from the legendary pirate Shiki. In terms of swordsmanship, ability, and physical skills, you are no less than that legendary pirate. Why are you still so disgusted with the Grand Line? With your strength, you should be aiming for a higher position."

Kuro looked at him and said, "Huh? I think you've gotten too cocky."

"What do you mean I'm no less than Shiki? Have I awakened my Devil Fruit power? You dare call yourself a Devil Fruit user if your power isn't awakened? Am I the world's greatest swordsman? Can my physical skills compare to Garp's? Can my physical abilities compare to Kaido's and Charlotte Linlin's?"

"No, nothing at all! Besides knowing a little swordsmanship and being able to fly, what else do I have? What am I?!"

Kuro was absolutely sincere about this.

He genuinely felt that he was inferior to these stronger individuals.

At best, his current ability is just scavenging.

Moreover, this ability isn't bugged.

It's not as powerful as those overpowered fruits.

In the world of One Piece, battles don't have a clear hierarchy; the idea that being slightly stronger means you can instantly kill someone doesn't exist.

At a certain level, the difference between the strong and the weak is not so obvious.

It's just a difference between a strong man and a teenager. A strong man can easily beat a teenager, but you can't say that a teenager can't fight back against a strong man.

Even a great general can suffer losses if he is not careful on that battlefield.

That's too dangerous! Absolutely too dangerous!

"Sorry, I can't think of anything right now."

Kro thought for a moment and said, "There's no good solution for now."

Kuro waved his hand. "Never mind, go out. I need to calm down."

"Hey, it's me! Ask me!"

Lida felt ignored and jumped up in annoyance.

"Oh? You have a way?"

"No."

"Go eat your snacks!" Kuro said irritably.

After the two left, Chloe adjusted his glasses, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Seeing this, Lida raised an eyebrow. "What are you laughing at? Have you thought of a way?"

"Of course, but I can't say right now."

Kuro said, "There is a way, but Mr. Kuro is too impatient right now. A mere major position is not enough. He can apply to be the base commander, but a major is not enough to be the base commander of the Grand Line. As for going to the Four Seas, that is impossible. Mr. Kuro has not done anything wrong. Going to the Four Seas would be an exile."

If Kuro hadn't strictly forbidden them from talking about killing Shiki, things might not have gone so complicated.

However, Kuro could understand that if they said they would kill the Golden Lion, then the trouble that followed would not be so simple.

There are quite a few powerful beings on the high seas.

"Execute according to plan. We'll go find the pirates and get Mr. Kuro promoted to colonel. Then he can apply for a posting and be stationed at a base on the Grand Line. At that time, Mr. Kuro's dream will be fulfilled, and our dream will also be realized."

Kuro wants safety and comfort.

Lida also wanted safety and to be well-fed.

He, on the other hand, wanted safety and peace.

Within the Navy, certain rules must be followed.
