When this was mentioned, Sakazuki's face turned terribly grim.

At the time, everyone was misled. The higher-ups were thinking too much about the whereabouts of Hades. He didn't quite agree at the time, believing that all forces shouldn't be concentrated in one place. But it was an absolute order imposed by the World Government, so they had no choice but to do it. Most of their forces were sent to Alabasta, only to find that Alabasta was nothing but sand.

Later, it was revealed that Teach had come to raid G-3. Borsalino was in Wano Country at the time and couldn't make it back, while the others wanted to return but were suppressed by the World Government, who believed that the news was not unfounded and that even if Teach didn't come, Pluton might still exist.

However, the order given at the time was to allow Kuro to retreat, but that was not really an order. The Navy isn't stupid; if they really had to deal with someone they couldn't fight, they would retreat and wouldn't fight to the death.

But Kuro was amazing; he actually managed to defeat Teach and inflict heavy losses on him!

“It was an order from the World Government. I was dispatched as soon as I received your call, Kuro. You need to understand that some orders cannot be disobeyed,” Sakazuki said in a deep voice.

“I know, Marshal Sakazuki.” Kuro nodded, not delving any further.

There was nothing he could do; they were just being precise. Sakazuki's explanation, however, warmed his heart.

For someone as ruthless as him to say such things is already a great honor.

Tsuru glanced at Sakazuki, smiled slightly, and then said to Kuro, "There's intelligence that Teach hasn't been on Beehive Island lately. He's probably recruiting subordinates everywhere. The ten giant captains he envisioned have been far fewer in that battle."

Kuro leaned back, cigar in mouth, and said arrogantly, "If you come at me again, I'll fight you again. If that idiot Teach messes with me again, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Defeating the Four Emperors is a huge problem. For a powerhouse of that level, no one can stop him from running away. He will either be completely surrounded or fight to the death. Otherwise, he will not stand still and let you kill him.

Especially someone like Teach, if you say that Kaido and Linlin, or Kuro are fighting in Wano Country or Whole Cake Island, they might fight you to the death, after all, that's where their dreams are.

Teach's dream isn't Beehive Island; he's fine anywhere. Wherever he is, as long as he can get the team together, he can start over.

The world situation is changing...

Tsuru said softly, "Garp, your grandson has caused quite a stir in Wano Country, gathering a group of new recruits to challenge the alliance between Kaido and Big Mom. Aren't you worried about this?"

"Hahaha, truly worthy of being my grandson." Garp laughed heartily.

I wasn't complimenting you!

He pursed his lips. "You should know that your grandson can't win."

Garp chuckled twice more, then his expression turned serious as he slowly said, "My grandson is a pirate now. There's not much I can do to help him. What he does is his business. I've done all I could back then..."

He glanced at Kuro, then said nonchalantly, "I already did that once back in Sabaody Archipelago, but I don't have that much influence with pirates, hahahaha."

"Really..."

He shook his head. "Whatever. Your whole family is incomprehensible."

That's true, and Kuro agrees with that as well.

The Monkey Family: the eldest is a naval hero, the middle-aged is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and the youngest is also a well-known figure among pirates.

Should we join a CP organization next time, so we can make a mahjong game?

Calling them the Zhuge family doesn't quite make sense, but if you don't... it's amazing that they know not to put all their eggs in one basket.

"Speaking of which, Kaido's alliance with Charlotte Linlin was for the sake of the Poneglyphs, wasn't it?"

Zhan Guo said in a deep voice, "They should have two pieces, but no one knows how to decipher them, and no one knows the location of the other two pieces either."

As high-ranking naval officers, they certainly knew about the Poneglyphs, but they didn't have them. They couldn't get the ones whose location they could pinpoint, and they couldn't pinpoint the locations of the ones they could get. Otherwise, if they had a piece in their hands, they could lower the probability of getting something like One Piece.

"The Poneglyphs... Nico Robin is in the Straw Hat crew, right?" Tsuru said. "Although I've heard that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin also have people with this ability, it seems they can't be used. If they want to decipher them as soon as possible, Nico Robin is probably the target."

"I've said it before, she's an evil person!"

Sakazuki clenched his fist and said, "That knowledge, even if it's not used, will still be coveted. Once she's captured, those pirates will become even more frenzied!"

"If one person can influence the world, then let him influence this fragile world," Kuro said calmly. "After all, we can't stop everything."

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki glanced at Kuro, nodded slightly, and loosened his fist.

"Speaking of which, Kuro, your Seven Warlords of the Sea are still missing one person, aren't they?" Sengoku suddenly asked.

Kuro nodded: "We're missing one. These things aren't easy to find. There are very few people who are obedient or abide by my current agreement and are qualified. The most infuriating thing is that blue fat guy. I ran into him on the way out of Wano Country with the old man last time. We invited him, but he refused. He insisted on becoming someone's helmsman!"

Doraemon?

This part might not immediately ring a bell, but when the helmsman is mentioned, it becomes clear.

"Jinbe, huh..."

Zhan Guo sighed slightly: "It's a pity. He's a good candidate, but once he's made up his mind, it's really hard to change it."

"Pirates are all the same, there's no way to change them. These so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea under my command are only for a period of time. It would be good if we could continue to cooperate, but if not, we'll have to think of another way."

Kuro shrugged. He wasn't in a hurry to find the last Shichibukai. It wasn't something you could just find easily. The sea was so vast, and there were so many people who rose to prominence, with varying levels of skill. Where was he going to find someone he could use effectively?

Six is ​​enough now. He used to have some ideas about Farettal Joshua, but after seeing the news recently, he realized that Joshua had started a rebellion. In Kuro's eyes, this was much more prestigious than being a pirate, and there was no need to drag him down with him.

Even if someone is on the wrong path or going in the wrong direction, they are still a hero. So Kuro chooses not to provoke such people. He treats the Revolutionary Army the same way: he avoids provoking them if possible.

"Oh, you're having a good chat."

Suddenly, a flirtatious voice rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Kuro's ears twitched, and he quickly stood up and looked over.

Kizaru walked in casually, wearing only a yellow suit without a cape.

"The main character has arrived, sir, please take a seat!"

Kuro smirked, pulled out the chair for Kizaru, and was about to let him sit down.
