【Justice BBQ】.

The group found a place with a name that combined restaurant and pub, went inside, and asked for a private room.

"Bolo bolo bolo..."

Just as he sat down, the Den Den Mushi in Smoker's arms rang. He took the Den Den Mushi out of his arms, leaned back in his chair, crossed one leg over the other, and answered the phone with an arrogant expression while chewing on a cigar.

"Hello..."

"Smoker? I see your ship. Where are you?" A familiar female voice sounded from the other end.

"Tina? I'm here..."

Smoker glanced at Kuro and said, "It's a restaurant called 'Justice Yakiniku.' Kuro's treating. Are you coming?"

"Oh? Kuro? That's rare. I'll come too."

As he spoke, the call ended.

"Kuro, you don't mind having a few more people, do you?"

After finishing the call, Smoker spoke to Kuro.

"Since you've already agreed, what else is there for me to say?"

Kuro rolled his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and exhaled a puff of smoke from his cigar. "It's more lively with more people. It's been a long time since we've all gotten together. Tina's been around Alabasta, right? That area is her territory."

He didn't care anyway, and besides, he needed Tina's help.

There's not much stock left; I need to ask Tina to get him some.

Creations created by those with special abilities can be either permanent or non-permanent.

While Kuro also coveted the creations of characters like Hancock and Wald, their abilities were not permanent.

If the ability is dispelled, both Hancock's pink arrow and Wald's magnified creation are rather risky.

Even if they fail, faint, or are exhausted, their abilities will be deactivated, let alone if they die.

But Tina won't.

Tina's ability creates things permanently; once created, they exist forever.

That's why Kuro is most attracted to Tina.

"Major Admiral Kuro!"

Tashigi looked at him excitedly and said, "I heard you defeated Redfield, that's amazing, amazing! When I heard the news, I was genuinely happy for you. With your strength, you should have been famous all over the world long ago. Although it's not too late now, it's really great!"

"Alright, alright... Go clean your knife if you're free."

Kuro's eyes were practically rolling back.

Is this a compliment?

That's fucking rubbing salt into his wounds!

"There's another piece of news..."

Smoker also exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Kuro, saying, "The Four Emperors, Big Mom, that commotion was quite significant, but I don't know if it's real. Since you're here, you can ask her."

"Why don't you just focus on fighting your pirates in G-5? Why are you gossiping so much? You're a woman, you know," Kuro said irritably.

"General Kuro, I'm not a gossip!" Tashigi automatically put herself in the shoes and defended herself.

Kuro: "..."

“So, is that true?” Smoker asked.

“Really? Tina can vouch for that.”

The door to the private room was pushed open, and Tina walked in with a cigarette in her mouth. She said, "Tsuru already told Tina, so Tina knows that you went to see Big Mom, Kuro. That was quite a commotion."

“Tina, you’re here,” Smoker said.

"Long time no see, Smoker. What happened to the scar on your forehead?"

Tina glanced at Smoker, then continued, "It's been a long time, you guys."

"Yo, Captain Crowe!"

Behind her followed Zango and Finbodi, with Zango greeting Klo.

Call me Colonel!

Kro glared at him. "After all these years, haven't your habits changed at all?"

"Hahaha, I'm used to it. I think pirates are the most despicable people in the world!" Zango shouted.

"Hey, Zango, you used to be a pirate!" Finbots punched him.

"Hey! That's right, I forgot!"

"It's okay, partner, dancing will make you forget all your troubles!" Finbodi started swaying.

"Are you two performing a comedy routine?!"

Kuro rolled his eyes. "Find a place to sit down, stop joking around."

"Yes, Major General Kuro!"

The two saluted together and obediently sat down.

This man is also a major general; it's not easy to offend him.

Finbotsley was an old navy man with an instinct for subordinates to obey their superiors.

As for Zango, his former captain was Kuro, and Kuro's superior was Kuro, so he naturally obeyed him.

"Kuro, you've been making quite a splash lately, Tina is quite surprised."

After Tina sat down, she said directly to Kuro, "Redfield, Charlotte Linlin, and Bundy Wald, you killed two of them and made contact with one. In addition, there's Shiki the Golden Lion and the Goddess of the Insect Kingdom. They are all world-renowned pirates. You were responsible for all of them."

I said...

Kuro raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you an intelligence expert? Where did you get so much information?"

"You forgot, Tina is Crane's subordinate." Tina picked up a cigarette with her fingers and exhaled a puff of smoke.

As the chief of staff, Grandma Crane naturally possesses a great deal of intelligence about the navy, and Tina, being her subordinate, would naturally share this intelligence.

Especially women who like to gossip...

They usually chat about the situation and intelligence at sea, treating intelligence as gossip.

"You guys are going to strip me naked," Kuro said irritably.

He wondered, how could the naval high command have such complete information about him?

They know everything about what they did and the people they killed.

He's just a lowly rear admiral, why does he need to know so much?
