He knew Mr. Kuro was putting on an act. The higher he climbed, the more he had to act. CP0 was watching. He couldn't say anything outright, nor could he confront them directly. He had to completely protect Mr. Kuro's secrets.
But how can I probe for that little hint?!
Lida chewed on her lollipop and suddenly said, "Clow, why don't you become the general? That way I can eat all the delicious food from Wano Country for free. I've never tried it before."
"Eat, eat, eat, all you do all day is eat."
Kuro retorted irritably, "You make someone abdicate in my favor, and I'll become the Shogun of Wano Country. Kaido can be the Protector of the Nation, but I can't be a Shogun? Even Kaido's daughter keeps saying she wants to be a Shogun. If pirates can be pirates, why can't I be a Marine?"
Boom!
These words struck Chloe like a thunderbolt.
He clenched his fists, took a few more breaths to calm himself, and pushed up his glasses, but his voice was still trembling: "Mr. Kuro, I... I will think of a way. Please allow me to take my leave and treat my injuries."
Kuro waved his hand, letting him leave.
Lida watched as Chloe walked towards the river mouth, tilting her head: "Does he have a way?"
"How would I know? What if I come up with a good idea?" Kuro shrugged indifferently.
How to manage 40,000 people is a problem, and how to get the Wano Country to establish a naval base is also an issue.

“The World Government’s reach can’t extend here. Mr. Kuro can’t hide any longer. Wano Country is a good place. With the power they’ve promised, it can develop.”
He boarded the ship and headed towards his room.
“Orochi became general by taking over the position of the previous general. Whether or not anyone agrees with it, he has the legitimacy. This means that as long as we get Orochi to speak, Mr. Kuro can also become general and take over the title. Then we will have a way.”
Once inside the room, Kuro took off the clothes that were torn from his fight with Yamato, went into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.
"The samurai have also been brought under control. As long as we have the authority, coupled with the prestige gained from executing Kaido, we'll have enough time to deal with this place. We could even recruit them to Mr. Kuro's ranks and make them the 'new Marines,' but this requires a key figure..."
Hot water dripped down, carrying steam. Chloe hugged herself, glancing slightly at the mirror behind her. The mirror reflected Chloe's upright back.
"Cass!!" Kro shouted in a low voice, glancing at the mirror behind him.
On his shoulder and back was a red spider tattoo with a large number on it—1.
