Bang!

Bang bang bang!

Koby was panting heavily, and Kuro, seeing him panting heavily, also started panting heavily.

"How could this be? How could this be!"

Coby gritted his teeth. He had become very strong, and ordinary marines were no match for him, but what did that matter?

Why can't we win?

However, it must be admitted that he had used all his strength, but still could not shake Kuro's impenetrable defenses.

It feels the same as before, just a little bit off.

Just a tiny bit!

The difference between pinching it with your thumb and forefinger is something you just can't overcome!

Looking at Kuro, who seemed exhausted but was still trying to hold on, Koby suddenly had an epiphany.

"Mr. Kuro, I greatly admire your fighting spirit, but I will not admit defeat either!"

Koby regained his spirits and began to fight Kuro.

As before, the battle lasted until the end of training.

"That was a good battle, Coby, you've gotten a lot stronger."

Kuro politely extended his hand to Koby.

He had no idea whether Koby had gotten stronger or not; they were about the same anyway, so he just went along with the pleasantries.

Kobi forced a smile: "No, it's Mr. Kuro who has become much stronger. I was just being narrow-minded. Don't worry, Mr. Kuro, I think I understand your request. I will do my best to help you solve it."

"real?"

Kuro's spirits lifted: "You really understand what I'm thinking?"

"Of course, I understand from what you just said."

Kuro's face lit up with joy. "Alright, I'll leave the East Blue matter to you!"

Koby is Garp's right-hand man, so his words definitely carry weight.

With Smoker added to the mix, returning to the East Blue is a sure thing.

Seeing Kuro's happy expression, Coby felt lucky to have met Vice Admiral Garp. Otherwise, it would have been pathetic for someone as strong as Coby to still be worried about not being able to stay at headquarters.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Koby said solemnly.

Looking at his expression, Kuro felt confident that he had it in the bag.

I will definitely be able to return to the East China Sea!

I will never let you go back to the East China Sea!

Koby made a silent vow.

After saying goodbye to Koby, Kuro turned back to look at the two hesitant people and grinned, "What are you doing? What's with those expressions? Smile, smile!"

“Mr. Kuro, that person…”

Kro hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when Lida secretly kicked him.

"No, it's nothing. Mr. Kuro's long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled, and I'm happy for him," Kuro said with a smile.

He couldn't say this, otherwise, if Kuro went berserk, he would be the one to suffer.

He couldn't possibly harm Lida.

"Garpu, don't eat your senbei so loudly, it's too noisy! And those are my senbei!"

A man with a beard braided down to his waist, a chest covered in medals, and a seagull on his hat roared.

"Puhahaha, don't be so stingy, Sengoku. It's just a little bit of senbei. How can you taste it if you don't eat it? Right, Tsuru?"

Garp laughed heartily.

The crane beside him glanced at him helplessly, but said nothing.

Beside him, Aokiji yawned boredly, "A meeting this late at night is so boring, let's finish this quickly."

"How strange. We just had a meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea during the day, and now we have another one tonight, and it's with the Navy."

On the other side, a man with a sleazy appearance and wearing a yellow suit threw down a stack of documents: "But it's scary how young people are these days."

"Lucil Kuro, a Marine from the 153rd Division of the East Blue, possesses strength comparable to Hawkeye, yet he has been hiding in the East Blue for ten years. If it weren't for the two of you, I would have thought he had some purpose in infiltrating the Marines."

Sengoku looked at the documents and said to Kizaru and Aokiji, "Tell me about it."

“Smoker told me.”

Aokiji lazily pointed at Kizaru: "But when he was saying that, this guy happened to be in my office and heard it too. But then again, his behavior is really a bit like yours. Is he your illegitimate child?"

"Oh~ what a terrible rumor."

Kizaru then looked at Kuro's photo in the file, "He's just as handsome as me."

"..."

"Cough cough."

Crane coughed a few times and said, "Safety is justice. There are plenty of people who want to enter the Navy for safety, but this is the first one with this kind of strength. The little guy has too little sense of security. He still doesn't trust the Navy enough. But judging from his actions, he is a very righteous person."

"A lack of security isn't necessarily a bad thing; Zephyr did it before..."

Sengoku hesitated, then said, “Forget it. If he wants to develop safely, let him be. We’re not pirates. As long as he doesn’t violate justice and the World Government, he can do whatever he wants. Just follow the procedures. If he has achievements, he’ll be promoted; if he does something to smear the Navy, he’ll be demoted. We won’t promote him or suppress him.”

Kizaru said, "A new seedling does indeed need to be protected. I'm quite interested in him."

"Then you can have it. Anyway, if you join my unit, you'll probably end up like you. I don't want to see another person who just shows up but doesn't put in the effort."

Aokiji yawned again, stood up and walked outside. "Headquarters is so boring, I'm going to ride my bicycle out to sea for some fun."

"Kuzan! You're slacking off again!" Sengoku roared.

But Aokiji was nowhere to be seen.

"They're all such a handful."

Sengoku clicked his tongue in displeasure and looked at Tsuru: "Where's that Kuro next to him?"
