"Let's go find a place to drink."

Seeing that Lowe was standing there, not knowing what he was holding back, Kuro took the opportunity to put his arm around Lowe's shoulder and said, "What's bothering you? A drink will make it all better. If that doesn't work, have a couple of drinks. This is my turf, and it's on me today."

Don't you know what's bothering me?!

Lowe smirked, his face cold as he was invited away by Kuro.

The two arrived at a relatively large hot spring resort on the island and went straight inside.

At the counter was a chubby shopkeeper. He was about to speak when he saw people, but as soon as he saw Kuro, his eyes widened, and he rushed out from behind the counter, excitedly saying, "General Kuro... oh no, Vice Admiral Kuro, it's been so long! You're finally back!"

"Atoki, it's been a long time. Arrange a room for me; I want to treat some people to drinks."

"Okay, no problem."

The fat man named Atokki nodded, then suddenly noticed Lowe, who was standing to the side with his head down, seemingly trying to avoid being recognized. "Hey? Isn't that King Lowe?"

Kuro was taken aback. "You know him?"

Yatoki laughed and said, "Yes, King Lowe often comes here to play, and he often gets drunk."

"It's not me, you've mistaken me for someone else." Lowe quickly shook his head and denied it.

"How could that be? You were drunk here last time, saying things like, 'That wretched incense burner monster, he kidnapped my sister, I'll get my revenge on you sooner or later,' and 'Rita, my Rita, sister, how could you end up with such a weirdo?'"

Kuro narrowed his eyes and looked back. "Oh... an incense burner monster?"

"No, no, that incense burner, it's an incense burner at my house. I recently fed it a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and it came back to life. That's how it is." Lowe twitched his lips and hurriedly explained.

Kuro rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

He's not Vegapunk, and he's not even that close to Vegapunk. Why should he feed a dead thing a Devil Fruit? If you're going to curse, just curse. Why are you talking nonsense?

"Didn't you say you didn't come to this place often? You tsundere!" Kuro asked.

"What's wrong? Do I need your permission to come to my sister's property, you incense burner monster!"

"You've been exposed! You're insulting me!" A dark line appeared on Kuro's forehead.

"What, you want to fight?" Lowe said, his neck stiff. "If it weren't for Rita, I would have already had the whole country assassinate you!"

"It's Lida! Lida! And what assassination my foot! You killed your family members long ago, you filial son!"

"Who gives you the right to talk to me like that? You're such a jerk..."

Lowe realized something and swallowed the word "rebel," then said, "You...you wicked wretch."

The two stared at each other for a moment, then turned away and spat, "Bad luck!"

"that..."

Yatoki looked at the two men, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Lieutenant General, Your Majesty, do you need any more rooms?"

"want!"

The two said in unison, then exchanged a sideways glance, and simultaneously said, "You're treating!"

After saying that, they paused, then said in unison, "I won't invite you!"

"Enough, stop mimicking me!" they both said at the same time.

Kuro: "..."

Lowe: "..."

A spark seemed to fly between them as they looked at each other.

Zzzzz!

Kuro drew his Shusui and roared, "Want to fight, Lowe!"

Lowe rolled up his sleeves. "You think I'm afraid of you?"

"Um, if you don't mind..."

Yatoki stepped forward and said with an awkward smile, "I'll invite you."

"This is none of your business!"

They both said the same thing at the same time, then smirked and said simultaneously, "Never mind, I'll treat you!"

After saying that, Kuro took a step back, sheathed Shusui, and shrugged. "Fine, I give up. You can treat me then."

"you..."

Luo Wei was so angry that his nose almost crooked. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Fine, I won't argue with you!"

Kuro lit a cigar and said arrogantly, "Give me the most expensive food, the most expensive wine, and the most expensive massage. I remember there's a hot spring pool here that looks like a waterfall. That's not cheap. Arrange for him there. Don't be polite with him. He's the king, very rich."

“I’ll drink you to death!” Lowe glared at Kuro, but didn’t object.

"Yes, please follow me."

Yatoki bowed politely and led the two upstairs to the largest room.

The two sat facing each other, and soon two young and beautiful maids sat down beside them.

"Or is there only one?" Kuro asked Atoki.

Honestly, during his long time on Pegasus Island, he rarely had the chance to drink with anyone.

It's not that he's looking for someone to accompany him, it's that he has no one to accompany him. Every time he comes to drink, no matter which bar, there are no waitresses to accompany him, so Kuro can only drink by himself.

Occasionally, someone can accompany me for drinks, but the number of times is extremely small, and there is only one person.

Back then, he was a colonel and the base commander; all the land belonged to him. Why should he only have one person to accompany him for drinks?

“No, there are a lot this time,” Yatoki laughed.

"Then you'll have to give me a few more. Do you want some, Lowe?" Kuro looked at Lowe.

“Of course, why wouldn’t I accept my offer!” Luo Wei said arrogantly.

"Let's make it lively!" Kuro shouted, waving his hand.

...

When Lida returned satisfied with the food on Pegasus Island, accompanied by Kikyo and Fanny, it was already night. The various businesses on Pegasus Island were now brightly lit, a dazzling display of neon lights.

Nighttime is when Pegasus Island begins to come alive.

Lida was holding a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter), which had dialed several numbers, but no one answered.

"Where did Kuro go?" She looked around but couldn't see Kuro, so she pouted.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Let me tell you, be nicer to my sister, she's my only sister!"

The voice sounded familiar.

Lida turned her gaze and saw two drunken uncles with their arms around each other's shoulders, their faces flushed and walking unsteadily.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't some drunken old man at all; it was clearly Kuro and Lowe.

Don't worry!

Kuro raised his head and pounded his chest loudly. "When have I ever mistreated Lida? What's mine is hers, and what's hers is mine. Besides, I've been so good to her, and you won't even call me 'Dad'."

"Um?"

Lowe was a little confused, but in his drunken state, he blurted out, "Dad? My dad's long gone."

"That's great! I'm your new dad!"

Kuro, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, shouted, "Come on, call me, and I'll beat up the Flower Country for you! What trash Flower Country? You have no idea what I'm hiding in the sky. I can sink several continents like the Flower Country! If I'm ever arrested in Mary Geoise, the Celestial Dragons will all be executed for me, you know that?"
