Inside the castle tower, a large hall on the fifth floor, which was originally Orochi's banquet hall, is now being used by Kuro as a temporary office.
He sat in the highest general's chair, and because of the step, he didn't have to cross his legs; he could simply put them down, adopting a very imposing posture.
Beside him, Lida sat on a beautiful futon, eating snacks.
As they descended the next step, Chloe stood to one side, adjusting his glasses.
Below, Cass and Wilbur saluted in unison, excitedly exclaiming, "Mr. Kuro!!"
They haven't seen Mr. Kuro in a long time!
How could I not be excited to see it now?
"Long time no see. I'll have to trouble you two later. Keep an eye on things for me, and also you two..."
Kuro looked at the Seven Warlords of the Sea beside him and said, "I brought you here not only to watch the execution, but also to take responsibility for defense, so that no one will be so foolish as to cause trouble."
The six Shichibukai each had a different expression.
"Hmph, you're getting more and more arrogant, Kuro." Crocodile said, biting a cigar, the smoke obscuring his face.
Boa Hancock, with her beautiful figure, crossed her arms and looked arrogant. Upon hearing this, she merely snorted coldly: "I will only act according to the contract; I have no business with the rest."
She doesn't want to care about anything!
All of this originally belonged to Lord Luffy!
If it weren't for Kuro's interference, Luffy might be in this position right now, and she would be sitting in that white-haired brat's seat, perhaps even happily snuggling up to Luffy!
But she couldn't refuse this man.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea have such good benefits now that the people of Amazon Lily no longer need to go out and rob. They only need to go to the New World to deal with pirates. For the female warriors of Amazon Lily, fighting is commonplace, and they don't have to worry about supplies.
Rudolph gave Kuro a gentlemanly bow and said, "As a Shichibukai, I will naturally fulfill my duties."
They owe everything to Kuro. It was because Kuro gave them this position that other half-fish people on the sea came to rely on them, making them grow bigger and bigger, and finally they could live a stable life.
Half-fish people are grateful and repay kindness!
William straightened his white scarf and said, "I'm fine."
He was still somewhat eager to try.
Since becoming a Shichibukai, although he has fought in the New World, he, who considers himself a great pirate, has never encountered any major events. He has never participated in events such as the Marineford War, which the old Shichibukai participated in, or the attack on G-3 by Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors, which he has always regretted.
Now that he finally had a big opportunity, of course he wanted to give it a try.
Ideally, it would be someone of great stature, someone who could make him famous worldwide once again.
Buggy nodded solemnly, though he knew nothing. He was just there to watch Kaido's execution and didn't have many other thoughts. But seeing that everyone else seemed to know something, he felt awkward if he didn't, so he decided to pretend.
Mihawk remained silent and stood there motionless.
"Alright, all of you, go and get ready. Help me escort Kaido; I'm going to execute him myself later!" Kuro waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Everyone took their leave one after another, but Mihawk remained standing there. After everyone had left, he said, "You captured Shanks, and you still dared to send me here? Aren't you afraid I'll come after you?"
Kuro rolled his eyes. "I knew you'd ask me, who gave him the right to block my way? Did he think I was made of clay if I didn't teach him a lesson? It's only right for the Navy to catch pirates. Besides, isn't this perfect? ​​Whitebeard is dead, Big Mom is dead, Kaido has been captured, and now we have him too. That's it."
"and..."
He looked at Mihawk and laughed, "If you were capable of handling this kind of thing, you should have gone to Impel Down the moment you got the news."
Mihawk was silent for a moment before saying, "The journey home on the high seas is predetermined for everyone from the moment they set sail. No one can escape it. Shanks is, I am, and you are no exception, Kuro. One day, we will all be dragged down."
"You've already been dethroned. The world's greatest swordsman is mine. However, there are quite a few interesting swordsmen in Wano Country. You can challenge them to a duel."
Kuro shrugged: "As for me, if they really have the power, they can just pull me down if they want. What else can I do?"
If a peerless genius were to emerge, the kind who would dominate the seas for eight hundred years, what could Kuro possibly do?
But let's deal with this kind of person first.
"I never expected that you would single-handedly end the era of the Four Emperors, Clow..."
Mihawk sighed, "When we first met in the East China Sea, I thought you should have been famous throughout the sea long ago. Now it seems it's not too late, is it?"
You think I wanted to?!
Kuro gets angry just thinking about this guy; he was one of the culprits back then!
If he hadn't challenged him to a duel, Kuro wouldn't have been discovered by the old man. If he hadn't been discovered by the old man, he might still be a lowly Marine, or he might have been sent to some sea as a branch base chief, living a peaceful and comfortable life.
He got to where he is today, even taking down three of the Four Emperors. Everyone bears responsibility, everyone!!
Mihawk seemed to realize something and chuckled, "Speaking of which, with the end of the Four Emperors era, the seas are bound to be in chaos. Are you so confident that we, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, won't cause trouble for you? There are quite a few ambitious people here too."
"Why should I?"
