"I had no choice, please spare me! I've been here for seven years! For seven years, I've been in danger every single moment. I was even discovered by Lord Herbert during one of my intelligence-giving missions. But the captain spared me on the condition that I pass on false intelligence to the navy while also passing on the navy's intelligence to them."

The pirate with fur shoulder pads was crying and sobbing, "Really, I don't want to! I want to be a Marine too, but it's too dangerous for me to stay here. If I don't give up my Marine identity, I'll be killed sooner or later. I don't want to die!"

At this moment, he was the only one alive in the valley.

All the pirates had been finished off, cut off by Kuro and Kaku's Tempest Kick, leaving only this former undercover agent with the fur shoulder pad still alive.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore. You made your own choice, and you're bound to pay the price."

With one hand in his pocket and the other pushing up his glasses, Kuro looked down at the person lying on the ground and said, "You will die here, that's inevitable, but your family may not know. You are still someone who sacrificed for the Navy, so that your family and hometown will not be disgraced. However, you need to give up intelligence."

"Yeah..."

The man with the fur shoulder guard stood there stunned for a long time, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I still couldn't escape it. After running away for so many years, this is still the ending. Can my family really not know?"

Kuro nodded calmly: "Being an undercover agent is an extremely dangerous profession, especially when you spend several years in a pirate crew. It's normal for your character to change. But the person who was taken undercover was also righteous at the time, even more so than the people in our Navy. For this reason, we can be lenient. You will die because of your actions, but it has nothing to do with your hometown or your family."

"That's really generous of you. Yes... you're right, this was my personal action. Thank you anyway." The man with the fur shoulder pads gradually relaxed.

dignified.

atmosphere.

There was no attempt to cover it up.

If you go too far, then we'll inform you of your fate, but that has nothing to do with anyone else, because the initial sense of justice in my heart when I was an undercover agent will never change. The Navy is lenient, at least Mr. Kuro is lenient.

What Kuro said were all Mr. Kuro's original words.

There's no need to act like the World Government and CP, hiding your true intentions and resorting to assassination to kill someone.

They are here to evaluate and judge.

All evil will be eradicated in the trial.

"They are fighting for territory."

The man with the fur shoulder guard said, "Dressrosa drove away the nearby pirate forces. Captain, no, Orpheus wants to seize those territories that have lost their protection, and for that, he'll have to fight Dressrosa. If nothing unexpected happens, they've already arrived at various battlefields. Nakoruru's original goal was these mountain islands, to conquer the mountain people here. Coming here is just a side effect. This war is also a test. If Dressrosa's strength isn't strong, Orpheus might even directly march on Dressrosa and make it fly his flag."

"Dresrosa is a member state of the World Government!" the naval captain exclaimed in surprise.

These words, however, did not surprise Kro and Kaku.

World Government?

The World Government doesn't take these great pirates seriously at all.

"A war with Dressrosa?"

Kro frowned. "Is the news confirmed?"

"Of course, I'm going to die anyway, so there's no need for me to lie to you. After all, I also want to leave a good reputation after I die. The five executives will each go to an island, conquer it quickly, and then go to the next island. After that, they will reach the capital of the 'Kingdom of Cyprian' and meet up with Orpheus. We will conquer the Kingdom of Cyprian first."

As he spoke, the man revealed the location of the island the remaining four cadres were to visit.

Cyprian...

Kuro knew this place; it was a kingdom relatively close to Dressrosa, a powerful kingdom protected by pirates. Dressrosa's progress was so slow, not because of the towns and islands, but purely because this kingdom was blocking the way, but it has now been dismantled and conquered.

"I understand, thank you for the information."

Kro pointed his index finger at the man, but after thinking for a moment, he reached out to the naval captain next to him and said, "Give me the gun."

The naval captain handed the pistol to Crowe, who gripped it, aimed it at the man, and said, "So, are you prepared to pay the price?"

The man with the fur shoulder guard knelt down, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Bang!

One shot, right between the eyebrows.

As the man collapsed, Clooney tossed the pistol to the naval captain, pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and made a call.

"Hey! This is the Marines led by Vice Admiral Cass, we're in battle! We're in battle! We're fighting the Unicorn Pirates!!"

Soon, the Den Den Mushi was connected, and a loud shout came from the other end, along with the sounds of battle nearby.

“I’m Chloe. Looks like I don’t need to remind you. Where are you? We’ll be right there,” Chloe said.

The navy quickly reported a location, and Klow immediately hung up the phone, saying, "That's it for today, let's move on to another location."

“Hey, I’m not doing that. My job is to help you identify naval spies, not to fight pirates. That’s your job,” Kaku said.

The CP organization doesn't care about pirates. Unless the World Government makes a request, everything else is the same to them.

"That's your business, but I won't see you off. My destination is directly to the battlefield, where you can watch the battle."

Kro coldly replied, then continued dialing the number. Soon, the Den Den Mushi transformed into a sharp-looking man with a middle parting and a cigar in his mouth.

“Mr. Kuro…”

...

Headquarters.

"Okay, I understand."

Kuro hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, exhaled a puff of smoke, and after a while, cursed, "Damn it! What a piece of crap!"

"1.6 billion, that's impressive."

Lida ate some snacks on the sofa. "What should we do, Kuro? Should we set off?"

"No need, they're all lieutenant generals. What would it look like if I did everything myself..."

Kuro thought for a moment, then made a phone call.

The Den Den Mushi's appearance changed to a face with a pair of catfish whiskers.

"Lieutenant General Jin Yang..."

"Rudolph, are you in the New World?"

"Uh, yes..."

"Can you go to Cyprian and cooperate with the Navy to take down 'Unicorn' Orpheus and his pirate crew?" Kuro asked.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a voice said, "I understand, I will cooperate."

"Great, let's do it that way."

Kuro nodded, hung up the phone, and then said to Lida, "That's it. If I didn't have people under my command, why would I have bothered looking for Shichibukai?"
