"Hey, are you Jin Ni?"

Suddenly, a man dressed as a prince, with a sleazy appearance, lips like a cheap inflatable doll, and a bob haircut, confidently emerged from the crowd.

“I am Sterry, the King of the Kingdom of Goa in the East Blue. I have heard of you, a famous figure in the East Blue.”

Sterry?

Kuro frowned, looked him up and down, and asked, "Who is it?"

"I am a king of the East Sea, a king!"

Sterry shouted, "As a man from the East Sea, shouldn't you show some courtesy when you see the king? Garp is also one of my subjects!"

"Pfft, hahaha, I was indeed born and raised in the Kingdom of Goa." Garp laughed, scratching his head.

"So what...?" Kuro asked, chewing on his cigar. He glanced at Sterry once and then put it aside.

king?

What is a king anyway?

Sterry was furious, as was Garp, and this Marine was completely disregarding him. But whatever, he hadn't come here for that kind of thing in the first place.

"Alright, let's get straight to the point!"

Sterry leaned closer and whispered, "It's like this, Garp isn't willing to help me, but you should be, right? I want to become a Celestial Dragon. As people from the East Blue, how about we help each other out? There will be benefits, you know."

Is this inflatable doll... mentally challenged?

Kuro paused for a moment, then blurted out instinctively, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you be a decent person and instead want to be trash?"

Upon hearing this, Staley broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale with fright.

What happened?

Are all the naval personnel from the East China Sea reckless?

Garp said the same thing in Sabaody Archipelago, so why is this Marine saying the same thing here?

This is outrageous talk, a capital offense!

"Hey, Kuro, you can't say things like that, hahaha!" Garp laughed loudly.

"Oh, really? It just slipped out. Just pretend you didn't hear it." Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, looking completely unconcerned.

The navy personnel behind him were also used to it.

Lida didn't care at all; it wasn't the first time she'd heard that. But Crow wiped the sweat from his brow, after all, they were in Mary Geoise.

Cass and Wilbur exchanged a glance, their eyes blazing with intense passion.

David clenched his fists even tighter, as if he had made up his mind about something.

Aquitaine, standing to the side, was terrified and turned pale.

That's... a Celestial Dragon!
