"I've been looking for you for a long time. Ever since I got out, I've been searching for you, Lucilfer Kuro..."

A sinister grin appeared on the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "More than twenty years ago, I wanted to have a proper contest with you, and now is the chance! Come on, find me, fight me, let me become the strongest in the world, or defeat me, and I will give you the world's greatest treasure."

"More than twenty years ago? I was only a few years old then, and you dare to challenge me? Who are you? A remnant of the East China Sea?!"

*Smack*

The Den Den Mushi didn't respond, so it hung up immediately.

"Hello, hello!" Kuro called out twice, but there was no response. He subconsciously squeezed the microphone and crushed it with a 'bang'.

"grass!"

He jumped to his feet, his pupils almost shrinking to points, so angry he was practically fuming.

"Fine, fine! You've got guts!" he spat out through gritted teeth. "Set sail! I'm going back!"

"Kuro, this is the World Conference..."

"I don't care about world conferences!"

Kuro glared at Tina and roared, "Even the Five Elders can't stop me! What a joke! How many times have I been attacked since I took control of G-3?! Haven't I killed enough? Not enough at all! I just don't understand, even the Four Emperors don't dare come here, so why do all sorts of nobodies want to use me for fame? Are they tired of living?! A contest? Fine! I'll have a contest with them!"

"Hahaha, there weren't so many problems when I was around," Garp laughed.

"Want to fight, old man?"

Kuro roared, "Believe it or not, I'll send you to keep Zephyr company right now!"

"Oh~ that's really scary." Garp mimicked Kizaru's pout.

"That old geezer..."

Kuro's pupils shrank to almost point. He took a deep breath and roared, "All personnel! All those directly under G-3, set sail! Now, immediately, return to G-3!"

"yes!"

Crow, Cass, and Wilbur all stood at attention, saluted with straight backs, their expressions solemn.

"Kuro, if you go back now, that would be irresponsible. Your mission to escort the royal family will have failed, and it will cause our Navy's rating to drop..."

Before Tina could finish saying the word "low," Kuro strode out. Clearly, he wasn't going to listen to a word she was saying.

"Hehehe, give up, Tina. Kuro in this state won't listen to a word." Kake shrugged and laughed.

Gion remained noncommittal, saying, "After all, he's someone who dared to go and deal with Big Mom all by himself."

Kuro has been a member of the Navy for quite some time, and has been in Headquarters for two or three years now. Anyone who pays even a little attention to him knows his temperament.

His last outburst of anger shocked the entire Navy Headquarters.

He took on Totland all by himself.

Tina was helpless.

Tina sighed and said, "Then how should we handle this? With some people missing, what about the royal family..."

"Re-conscript them, hahaha."

Garp laughed loudly, "This is the first time I've ever seen Kuro get angry. He's truly terrifying."

"The murderous aura is too strong, but..."

Jiaji chuckled and said, "Compared to what happened with Gulan Tezoro, this killing intent is child's play."

Gion nodded and said, "Yes, after he obtained that 'Supreme Grade Sword,' his killing intent at that time was enough to change the celestial phenomena."

"Changing the celestial phenomena..."

Garp looked up. "That's Conqueror's Haki, isn't it? Amazing, hahaha!"

"Isn't that all?" Tina looked outside, her eyes filled with deep shock.

The name of the monster is indeed extraordinary.

...

Outside the restaurant, Sazir was boasting to a group of navy men.

"Let me tell you, many great pirates attacked us back then, but I wasn't afraid at all. I am Sazel Kuro. Those famous great pirates couldn't withstand my Haki attacks, which I've honed through countless trials."

The sailors nodded in unison, and a young sailor asked, "And then what happened?"

"Later, when those pirates couldn't beat us, they mocked us as the World Government's lackeys. Of course, I wasn't having it. I even suggested to Vice Admiral Clow Reed how to fight back. At that time, I was super..."

As they were talking, the eyes of the navy men in front of him all turned and looked behind Sazir.

This made Sazir somewhat unhappy.

"Hey, what's with your attitude? Don't you believe me? I really did give the suggestion to Vice Admiral Kuro back then. I'm super brave."

The navy's gaze remained fixed.

"Who is it? How dare they interrupt the great Lord Sazir's storytelling?"

He turned his head, still cursing, but the next moment, he straightened up and stood still.

Ahead, a large crowd of people surged forward, with a large number of marines approaching. Leading the way was none other than Kuro.

"Lieutenant General Kuro..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sazir suddenly realized something was wrong. He shut his mouth, straightened his body, and waited for Kuro and the others to come over before obediently rejoining the group and walking to Kuro's side.

“Mr. Chloe…”

Shh, don't talk.

Kro whispered, "Unless you want to be in bed for half a month."

Sazir didn't say a word.

Lieutenant General Kuro's face...

It was practically dripping wet; she'd thrown a huge tantrum.

At this critical moment, Sazir dared not utter a single word. Not only that, he even felt his body chilling and stinging, as if he were being cut open.

His intuition told him that if he said the wrong thing, he would be in big trouble.
