The merchant threatened, "That will make it so you can't even stay in the navy. Think carefully. Now release me, give me back my goods, and I'll pretend this never happened."

Special products of Wano Country?

Kuro paused for a moment, thought for a second, then suddenly punched his palm and exclaimed, "Oh, I see, it's 'Iron Ore'! That explains why I remembered it."

Iron ore, a mineral native to Wano Country, could it be that he feels a paralyzing sensation from the weapon?

However, the arms sales rights of Wano Country...

"It's settled, it should be sold to the Insect Kingdom."

The right to sell that product is in the hands of the Joker, which is to say, Doflamingo.

Doflamingo was one of the key figures who contributed to the failure of the war in the Land of Flowers because he sold a large number of weapons to the Land of Flowers' enemy countries in the underworld.

"Release the people, leave them one boat, and confiscate the rest... no, confiscate them."

Kuro waved his hand, not even glancing at the merchant, and turned to leave.

“Mr. Kuro…”

Kro followed, and whispered, "Should we just let them go like this? Perhaps..."

A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

"What do you want to do? They're not pirates. As long as the stuff is in my hands, that's fine. Besides, I have my own ideas. Just do as I say."

Kuro smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Didn't you hear what people say? They're going to use their connections with the World Government to demote him.

Demotion!

He couldn't be happier than if such a good thing happened; what if he succeeded?

Even if it doesn't work out, he'll definitely be resentful for taking so many of my goods, and he'll surely come back for revenge, which means he'll bring weapons again.

Then he'll have inventory again.

Who would complain about having too many cards to play?

They'll just capture them, release them, and then capture them again, over and over again, and the weapons will be endless.

Neither way, Kuro is at a disadvantage.
