Go to Sambaud to capture slaves?

Upon hearing this, the group of sailors fell silent, and upon closer inspection, each of them wore a somewhat resentful expression.

But this one is a Celestial Dragon...

The Celestial Dragons are people you can't afford to offend.

At least they can't.

"Capture slaves?"

Kuro raised an eyebrow and looked Charlos up and down. "Now's not a good time. Sabaody is still too dangerous. The next wave of pirates is about to land. If you go down now, you'll get beaten up by seven or eight big guys. Just give up on that idea, you piece of trash."

“My name is Charlos. You should call me Saint Charlos. Navy officer, I’ll forgive your disrespect this time because of your attitude, but don’t do it again next time,” Charlos said, frowning.

The strange way of addressing Kuro didn't make Charlos feel like he was being insulted, because in today's context, it doesn't mean anything like that.

Only Kuro knew he was swearing, while Charlos just thought Kuro's verbal tic was strange.

And because of his earlier reminder to return safely to Mary Geoise, Charlos wasn't angry.

After all, in his eyes, this navy officer was loyal to him.

Wasn't his rigorous investigation of Chambord also because he himself almost suffered an attack?

Charlos didn't care at all about murder.

"Ah... that kind of address doesn't matter. You can stay in Mary Geoise for now. Anyway, the martial law in Sabaody won't be over anytime soon."

Kuro rudely blew a puff of smoke at him.

The Celestial Dragons living in Mary Geoise do not wear glass dome shields because they consider it the only place they can live in, the 'Upper Realm'. They only wear air dome shields when they go to the 'Lower Realm'.

"Cough cough cough..."

Charlos choked on the smoke, took a few steps back, waved the smoke in front of him, and said, "Never mind then. Anyway, I still have an invincible slave. Dad will definitely give me that invincible slave."

Charlos said in a boastful tone, "Invincible Slave, he's really strong. It's a pity that Dad has taken him for himself, so I can't bring him out. Otherwise, I would definitely show you the Invincible Slave's figure."

He opened his arms, as if describing, "An invincible slave who won't die no matter how much you stab or hit him, ah... I want one so badly."

Invincible Slave?

Kuro was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What invincible slave?"

“It’s a very tall and big, invincible slave that you can ride. It will listen to whatever you say, and if you’re not happy, you can stab it. Do you want to play with it? If it’s you, I can lend it to you... Well, but only after I have it. I’ll lend it to you for three minutes. You should thank me, since I’ve already lent it to you for three minutes, which is a long time.” Charlos laughed at him.

What's wrong with this idiot's attitude?

Kuro frowned, then suddenly realized something. "The invincible slave you mentioned, you wouldn't happen to be Bartholomew Kuma, would you?"

"Hmm...is that his name? I think I've heard of him before, something about a Shichibukai." Charlos thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly.

It really is...

Kuro bared his teeth, turned away, and ignored the scumbag.

"Let's go!" he said with a gloomy expression.

He clearly didn't hold back in Sabaody, and thought that idiot was completely destroyed, but who knew he would still be taken back and made a slave by the Celestial Dragons.

Hey! Bartholomew Kuma, a former Shichibukai, former king, and a Revolutionary Army cadre who was hiding his identity, has fallen into slavery as a Celestial Dragon?

What a joke!

Even if he has lost his mind, he shouldn't be like this.

Although these are pirates, pirates that Kuro dislikes, he doesn't agree with this.

He has always believed that pirates should die at sea.

"Is he truly out of his mind, or is he using all his remaining rationality to send information about Mary Geoise over there? Big Bear, you really are unpredictable."

From the very beginning, Kuro could never figure out this man.

Although they met on different numbers of times, it must be admitted that among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this one is the most profound.

Because you can never see any emotional fluctuations on that expressionless face, and his own strength also isolates him from all the mental probing of those with Observation Haki.

Doflamingo is a man who looks dangerous and difficult to get along with.

Hancock is a proud woman.

Crocodile is someone whose ambition is blatantly obvious.

Not to mention Hawkeye, his face practically screams, "I want to fencing with you."

The only exception is Bartholomew Kuma; you don't even know if he's truly lost his mind or if he's faking it.

However, Kuro had already avenged himself in Sabaody Archipelago last time, so the rest was none of his business.

"Hey, don't go! Don't go!"

Charlos called after him, but Kuro ignored him and quickly disappeared from his sight.

But this departure deprived Kuro of a chance to turn back.

The only chance.

"Have they left...?"

Charlos frowned and said, "It's a pity. I was thinking of asking him if he could become my personal bodyguard if he becomes a candidate for general."

Unfortunately, Kuro couldn't hear these words.

In order to get rid of this idiot's annoyance as soon as possible, he withdrew all his sight and observation abilities, only thinking about leaving as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if he heard those words, he would immediately turn back and stay in Chambord forever, never daring to leave.

After disembarking from the other end, the naval base stationed on the other side of the Red Line had already prepared ships, waiting for Kuro and his group to board. After the colonel in charge of the matter saluted and saw them off, the warships set sail towards the new headquarters.

"Hey, Kuro, has Kuma been enslaved? That's unbelievable. And... I just sensed a very strong presence. Was it the new Admiral Green Bull?"

Lida only spoke after boarding the warship.

She also disliked the environment of Mary Geoise and didn't want to talk much along the way.

"ah..."

Kuro, puffing on his cigar and looking out at the sea, nodded and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing. Avoid this lousy place as much as possible. Luckily, I'm an old-timer in the Navy and have deep roots within it. Otherwise, if I were stationed in Mary Geoise, I couldn't stand it."

He still has to thank Green Bull for this.

Without him stepping in, Kuro would most likely be required by the World Government to stay in Mary Geoise.

But now, the idea of ​​a general being stationed there sounds much safer than him being a major general.

See, this is job security.

He's just a major general; most of the high-level matters are none of his concern.

The ones who need to use their brains are Sakazuki, the old man, and the still-influential Grandma Crane.

However, Grandma He has a successor.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be either Tina or Kongming.

She can retire after working for a few more years.

This position of chief of staff is quite prestigious, as it belongs to a major faction.
