Chapter 181 Three-Way Standoff

“No problem, we can form an alliance first. Anyway, my target isn’t Whitebeard,” Frank said after thinking for a moment.

His goal was simply to increase the bounty and deal with the Navy.

"Frank and Bucky have formed an alliance? That's fantastic! But who's stronger...?"

A prisoner suddenly uttered these words, which caused the atmosphere to suddenly turn cold.

"Of course, our Boss Buggy is the best! He's a member of the Pirate King's crew, even Whitebeard wouldn't dare underestimate him!" Buggy's crew shouted.

"It's Boss Frank who's amazing! Boss Frank dared to attack a warship with three admirals and Garp on board. When it comes to bravery, who can rival Boss Frank!"

"Bullshit! Franky has no status whatsoever. Boss Buggy is the one with status; he's the top-tier pirate!"

"Buggy is very powerful, but would he challenge the Navy?! Our Boss Franky joined the Navy by challenging them, just like Kaido. Boss Franky is someone who can be compared to Kaido. Apart from the three admirals and Sengoku and Garp, our Boss Franky doesn't even put the other Navy officers in his eyes!"

These words startled Cass, who then joined the fray. "I can't pretend I didn't hear that. Besides Admirals Garp and Sengoku, the Navy has another incredibly powerful figure, the soul we all admire, Mr. Kuro!"

"What Mr. Kuro? Never heard of him." The group of pirates said in unison.

"Listen carefully, Mr. Kuro is extremely strong. Before you arrived, Mr. Kuro was someone even Whitebeard feared. All the captains considered Mr. Kuro a formidable enemy. Although he is currently a lieutenant colonel, I believe he will become a Marine Admiral sooner or later!"

Kas shouted at them, "Whitebeard and Kaido are nothing but mortals. The people you can compare to have been arrested by Mr. Kuro. Compared to them, you are not even as good as the two of them. How could you possibly be comparable to my Mr. Kuro!"

"Boss Franky is the true pirate hero!"

"Boss Buggy should be the one to become a legend among pirates!"

"No, Mr. Kuro is your nemesis!"

Two groups of pirates and one group of marines formed a triangle and confronted each other, frantically praising the person they admired.

Kro watched from the side, a slight smirk playing on his lips. Without a word, he secretly retreated to chase after Straw Hat Boy.

If he stays here too long, he'll either get beaten to death or driven crazy by the noise.
