Nilo moved into the last remaining palace, which, according to his own wishes, contained books that would allow people to learn about the country's history, as well as Rice's diary, so that future generations could see the rights and wrongs of that time, instead of simply portraying Rice as a demon after it was revealed.

After all, this was a huge matter, a matter of national annihilation, and no one could handle it. As the culprit, Rice would definitely have to report it.

Nilo didn't want him to become a demon in the eyes of the world, so he decided to stay here and let the world uncover the truth.

Although Kuro personally took the lead in destroying the country, he dared not take the blame for it. The crime of destroying a country is not something that can be easily borne.

He could only report this to the old man truthfully.

The warships withdrew from the Kingdom of Tada and continued their voyage.

Kuro had someone bring him a wiping cloth, pulled out the Autumn Water, and gently wiped the blade.

"Kuro, what are you doing?" Lida asked, tilting her head.

"My knife just chopped up a fly-like thing. It was disgusting. I need to wipe it off. I really hate bugs, second only to ship's rudder."

In terms of ranking by how much we hate them, the ship's rudder is first, the insects are second, and the wicked pirates are third.

Actually, Kuro wasn't that disgusted by insects at first, but it seems that after eating the Float-Float Fruit, he started to feel nauseous towards insects and the like.

"Wait a minute, I've almost turned the Float-Float Fruit's power into telekinesis. Telekinesis is afraid of insects?" Kuro suddenly thought of a possibility, his expression turning strange.

Lida saw Kuro gently dusting off the knife, and a large "danger" appeared in her eyes.

“Um, may I clean your knife?” she asked, extending her hand.

"you?"

Kuro looked at her in surprise. Seeing Lida's serious expression, he felt a sense of relief and was so moved that he almost shed tears.

That's rare!

My daughter has grown up!

"Okay! I'll leave it to you!"

Kuro handed Shusui, along with its scabbard, to Lida, patted her head, and encouraged her, "Make sure you clean it well, it's my most important thing."

Most importantly...

Lida caught Qiushui's small hand and tightened her grip. Sure enough, Kuro was still thinking about how Qiushui would become a wife!

Otherwise, how could he be so gentle with a knife!

Even gentler than a lover!

At least Lida had never seen Kuro treat her like that before.

If he hadn't been thinking about the married woman Qiu Shui, how could he have been so gentle with a knife?!

Lida bared her teeth fiercely at Qiu Shui, making a menacing gesture.

Trying to seduce Kuro? No way!

You have to get past me first!

“Mr. Kuro.”

Kro emerged from the captain's central fortress and said, "It's been reported."

“The report has been submitted, so we don’t need to worry about it anymore.” Kuro nodded.

The old man's willingness to shoulder the responsibility so generously saved Kuro some trouble, since he didn't want to deal with the Five Elders. In fact, he didn't want to deal with any creature living in Mary Geoise.

"I'll wipe you to death, I'll wipe you to death."

Lida knelt to the side, vigorously wiping the blade onto Qiu Shui with a rag, as if she wanted to wipe the blade away completely.

However, the hardness of autumn water is the highest in the world. It is said that even an elephant stepping on it will not bend the black knife in the slightest. It is not so easy to wipe it off.

Her movements were so large that her small backpack fell off her shoulder and landed on the deck, leaving a gaping hole from which several fruits rolled out, making a dull thud on the deck.

Kuro's eyes narrowed as he looked at one of the fruits that had rolled out, his mouth slightly agape. "No way..."

Kro adjusted his glasses, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. The fruit was larger than usual, covered in spiral patterns.

Another Devil Fruit?!

Wait, why use "again"...

"Huh? Why is there this again?" Lida's face fell.

With one more Devil Fruit she can't eat, it means she's lost another food source.

"Damn it, the food in this bag is what I brought from headquarters; it's really hard to find!"

Is now the time to talk about this?

Kuro walked over, picked up the small backpack, and turned it inside out, letting the contents fall down.

Various kinds of fruits were poured out of the backpack, along with foods such as lollipops, cookies, and white bread. Kuro even saw a piece of meat with a bone.

The amount of food far exceeded the capacity of the backpack; I really don't know how they managed to stuff it in there.

"Only one, thankfully, it's not that bad."

Kuro was a little confused; three Devil Fruits had already appeared in the backpack.

“Miss Lida, you’re really lucky,” Chloe exclaimed, swallowing hard.

This is more than just good luck...

"You should just change your name."

Kuro glanced at Lida speechlessly. "Don't call me Flo Lida anymore, call me Marshall Teach. You're even darker than Blackbeard."

She definitely doesn't have the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, and Kuro knows that very well. This backpack isn't for any user either; Kuro can't explain it except through superstition.

This is fucking incredible!

Kuro looked at the fruit on the deck, thought for a moment, and said, "If this is from the Kingdom of Tada, then it's a top-quality fruit. Kuro, you decide whether to eat it or not."

The Devil Fruits from the Kingdom of Tada, which Kuro himself encountered, were undeniably powerful.

Absolun's 'Fruit of Mistakes' can create illusions.

Sipatia's 'Reverse-Reverse Fruit' allows her to deceive others.
