If that 'happiness pill' is involved in a deal with the underworld, it will definitely attract a group of World Government personnel who want to profit from it, and there may even be high-ranking officials involved.
Kuro had anticipated this situation before deciding to take action.
So, if you need anything, go find Kizaru.
After all, he was the old man's direct subordinate. Why wouldn't he use his connections to handle such troublesome matters?
There are truly no conditions for providing for someone's old age and funeral arrangements.
Aren't generals meant to take the blame and shoulder the responsibility?
Kuro doesn't care at all about things like having his superiors handle things when they need him.
As soon as it was light, the warships set sail again and left Morgatti.
However, before setting sail, Kuro had the navy search for fruit on the island.
There was no trace of Devil Fruits.
Just in case, he also checked Lida's bag, but it wasn't in her bag either.
It seems the fruit didn't regenerate nearby; it probably went somewhere randomly.
If he can't find the fruit, then Kuro has no choice but to set sail.
Kuro had expected a phone call that day, but it didn't; the warship continued its slow voyage.
The third day.
Inside the office.
Several people are having a meal.
What was laid out in front of Kuro was a classic Japanese lunch: a saury, miso soup, a few side dishes, a bowl of rice, and a bottle of sake.
Kuro picked up the saury, took a bite, poured himself a glass, and slowly drank it.
It's great!
Lida, standing nearby, had a table full of food and was eating heartily. As she ate, she looked at Kuro and said, "It's been so many days, and Admiral Kizaru still hasn't called? Have you been abandoned, Kuro? Maybe you'll get a call soon saying you've been arrested."
Kuro pushed up his glasses. "That way we can become pirates."
Lida chuckled and said, "Kuro inherited everything from Shiki. If we're going to be pirates, we'll be the 'Flying Pirates,' right?"
"Even eating can't shut you up."
Kuro glared at him, his fingers touching the rice and pickled cucumbers. "Lion's Might Sushi Roll!"
The rice floated up, enveloping the pickled cucumber, and was fed straight into Lida's mouth.
"It's impossible even if you think about it with your knees."
Seeing that the rice had been used to gag Lida, Kuro said, "Is it so easy to be a general's direct subordinate? Getting past the old man won't be so easy. Just wait patiently, and it would be best if you don't have time to deal with me, since it's a tense time right now."
Ace is in jail, of course he's nervous.
Ten things in Morgaty are not as bad as the coming storm.
But this is a good thing for Kuro.
If the higher-ups forget about him, he can continue to slack off in the East China Sea.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just as I was thinking that, the Den Den Mushi on my wrist rang.
Kuro pursed his lips, answered the phone, and immediately his Den Den Mushi appearance turned lewd.
"Moshi Moshi, is that Kuro?"
"Ah...it's me, old man. What's the matter?" Kuro asked knowingly.
"Well, you've done something really big, it's terrifying. You've made a complete mess of Morgati. I've heard that His Highness the Prince is dead. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"You're calling now, so you must have figured out the darkness of Morgatti by now. I just couldn't stand by and watch," Kuro said lazily.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi before it spoke: "I went to great lengths to clean up this mess for you, and even so, the World Government has issued its punishment."
"oh?"
Kuro's spirits lifted, and his tone became somewhat excited: "You're down? Are you going to banish me?"
He's figured something out these past couple of days.
It's impossible to hide Morgati's actions forever. He could keep his abilities a secret since no one saw them at the time, but he killed someone else's prince, which seems impossible to conceal.
Prince Amusement Park had connections with the World Government, and by rashly killing him, I was disrespecting the World Government.
The old man will definitely protect him, but the World Government is the Navy's superior after all. At most, they can prevent him from getting into trouble, but a promotion is definitely out of the question. He might even be sent to some remote and impoverished place.
Good riddance!
Kuro has been waiting for this!
The ocean is so dangerous! Just in the East China Sea alone, he encountered all sorts of things.
Leaving aside the Golden Lion, the fact that two Conqueror's Haki users exist in Morgana, a small island kingdom in the East Blue, and with such unpredictable abilities, is truly astounding.
If Kuro hadn't cultivated himself quite well over the years, he probably would have really fallen for it.
Therefore, being exiled to some remote and impoverished place would be the most suitable option.
"Oh... Kuro, I'm so sorry."
A sigh came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
Kuro looked even happier, and even smiled.
He's got it!
"Regarding the Morgana incident, although Prince Amusement Park was making poison to control civilians and circulating it in the underworld, he is, after all, a prince of a country. Without the government's orders, it would have been wrong for you to act rashly. The World Government decided to cover up the Morgana incident, so you have no merit."
So you have no merit?
"And then what, the exile?" Kuro asked anxiously.
"Originally, you were to be exiled, but I stopped it. However, you can't take leave anymore; go back to headquarters."
Back to headquarters?!
At this critical juncture, you want him to return to headquarters?
Ace has already been thrown into jail!
"No, old man, I have defied the World Government's will and feel deeply guilty. Please let me be exiled, anywhere is fine. I have no face to return to headquarters!" Kuro made a last-ditch effort.
