Kuro led a group of people into what looked like a luxurious restaurant in Marineford.
Lida, Crow, Sentomaru, Smoker, Tashigi, Tina, Zango, Finbot, Coby, Helmeppo.
"Lida, I'm giving you permission to eat as much as you want today. Order whatever's expensive, don't worry, someone will pay."
Kuro patted Lida's head and said.
"Oh my! Really? Perfect, I wasn't full just now!" Lida exclaimed.
Smoker's eyelids twitched at the sight.
"Hey, Tina, lend me some money later."
He leaned close to Tina and whispered.
Tina was surprised.
Tina looked at Smoker in surprise. "You actually borrowed money. You've become a bit more tactful than before, Smoker. No, Brigadier General Smoker."
"Shut up, just lend me the money." Smoker blushed deeply.
In the Crocodile battle, Smoker and Tashigi were both promoted; Smoker is now a brigadier general, and Tashigi is a second lieutenant.
A brigadier general's treatment must be exceptionally good.
However, no matter how good the treatment is, if you encounter a big eater, especially one who has been unleashed by Kuro, then things are hard to say.
Looking at Smoker's ashen face, Sentomaru still didn't quite understand.
How much does it cost to eat out?
A group of people found a large private room.
Kuro looked at the menu the waiter handed him, pointed to a few dishes, and said, "I don't want these."
Upon hearing this, Smoker breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kuro was still being accommodating.
"Bring me a tricycle full of the other dishes first."
Thump!
Smoker slammed his head on the table.
"Well, if that's not enough, add more. We also have wine, bring more wine. Today... we're celebrating my promotion." Kuro lit a cigar, adopting a boss-like demeanor.
Anyway, it doesn't cost him any money.
Besides, people in this world already have big appetites.
Everyone here is a member of the Navy Headquarters, so when it comes to food, they're no worse than anyone else.
The previous three-wheeled vehicle was just an appetizer.
"Tina is delighted. It's been a long time since I've been to a party like this. Smoker, the last time we were both drunk." Tina laughed, a cigarette between her fingers.
Smoker struck a match and lit the two cigars in his mouth. "The Navy needs to relax too, we're not machines."
Tina looked around, her gaze somewhat surprised.
The people here, though not of high rank, surprisingly represent various factions.
She herself has a good relationship with the crane and belongs to the crane's faction.
Smoker represents the blue pheasant.
Kuro and Sentomaru represent Kizaru.
Koby and the others represent Garp.
The famous factions of admirals in the navy have all gathered.
After Tina escorted Kuro to Enies Lobby, she encountered Smoker and learned from him that Kuro was already Kizaru's direct subordinate, which surprised her.
But now, looking back, the current situation is even more surprising.
Sentomaru was a little nervous. It was his first time attending such a gathering. He had only been protecting Vegapunk in the Science Unit before, but this was the first time he had eaten with his naval colleagues.
It was the first time for both Coby and Helmeppo. Coby sat there very formally, while Helmeppo, having been pampered in the past, was not too awkward in this situation.
However, he was also a little nervous.
Those in front of us are no small fry.
Sentomaru, I heard from them that he is under Kizaru's command.
Tina and Smoker are both naval officers.
Kuro is now a naval lieutenant commander.
They're all naval officers.
"I have always firmly believed that Mr. Kuro will become a naval officer!"
Koby clenched his fist and said excitedly, "Congratulations, Mr. Kuro."
"hehe..."
Kuro's lips twitched, and he suddenly remembered that this guy was also one of the people who tricked him.
"Old Navy veterans are something else, he's already a lieutenant commander! But Kuro, I'll catch up with him right away!"
Bermbel, who is still a sergeant, is now speaking with great conviction.
"Me too!"
Koby looked on with anticipation, "Sooner or later I will surpass Mr. Kuro and become a naval officer too!"
He can go toe-to-toe with Kuro, and if he works a little harder, he will definitely surpass Mr. Kuro.
Kro pushed up his glasses, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back.
The dishes were served quickly, filling the table to the brim.
Koby held up his hand, looked at the wine glass that had been placed on Lida's table, and asked, "Um... can Miss Lida drink this too? Or how about some juice instead?"
"Who do you think you are, kid!"
Lida immediately transformed into her teenage form, slammed her hand on the table, and angrily declared, "I'm older than you!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Lida!" Koby immediately shrank back.
"Drink it..."
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "We can still relax in Marineford right now."
The others didn't react much to this, but Smoker and Tina exchanged a glance.
As expected, Kuro also found out what happened next.
"Congratulations on Mr. Kuro's promotion!"
Koby was the first to raise his glass, setting the mood.
Next up is Bellumebo.
Zango and Finbodi.
Then the group raised their glasses and drank together.
"Waaah...waaah!"
Lida downed the drink in one gulp, let out a long sigh, and her eyes lit up.
"Is it good?"
Kuro looked at her, giving the impression that he was about to call for juice at the slightest sign of trouble.
Lida nodded vigorously, "It feels so refreshing after taking that one gulp!"
