Advance City.
Achoo!
Kuro sneezed suddenly, took a few breaths to recover, and rubbed his nose. "What the hell? Who the hell is thinking about me?"
As he spoke, he stood up, reached out again, and retrieved the red-haired man's bottle.
"Are you leaving?"
Redhead laughed and said, "Hey, leave the bottle behind, it'll be good to keep it as a souvenir."
"Forget it, I wouldn't dare to mess with someone like you. Just stay here peacefully. If your men don't make a move, we won't touch you either."
Kuro shook his head, letting the two bottles float around him, and waved to the red-haired man. "I'm leaving. When I see you again... I hope there won't be a next time. You'll just grow old and die here."
"I've already told you about Red's situation. What are you planning to do?" Redhead asked again.
"Dispose of?"
Kuro thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, turned around and walked forward, then stretched out his arm and waved:
"I'm not interested in dreamers. If they like to dream, let them dream. Don't bother me, after all..."
He raised his head, as if reminiscing about something, and chuckled softly, "Everyone has times when they dream."
Redhead stared blankly at his retreating figure, then slowly said, "You too?"
"I?"
Kuro paused, slightly turning his head to face the red-haired woman, and said softly, "I stopped dreaming a long time ago..."
He then ignored the redhead and walked straight ahead.
"Fufufufufu!"
Just as he turned a few corners, Kuro suddenly heard a very familiar laugh.
"Kuro, it's been a long time!"
The sound came from inside a fence on the side.
Kuro turned his head, paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "I forgot you were here too. It has been a long time... Tenyasha."
Inside the fence lay Doflamingo, his torso and feet bound by chains, lying sprawled on the ground.
Kuro glanced around the prison and clicked his tongue: "You're living quite well, aren't you? You even have newspapers to read. It seems the higher-ups are still wary of your former Celestial Dragon status."
"Fear? Fufufufu..."
Doflamingo sat up abruptly, staring directly at Kuro, and said:
"That's not apprehension, that's fear. They're afraid I'll reveal the secret. In comparison, you're an admiral now, Kuro, no, Kinni. You ended the era of the Four Emperors, so aren't you one step closer to your ambition? How far have you gotten? Let me think, have you conquered Wano Country? Is your next step to attack the New World? And the Four Seas, shouldn't you make a move on those as well?"
"What are you talking about?" Kuro frowned.
"Fufufufufu!"
Seeing his expression, Doflamingo laughed again, unconsciously sticking out his tongue and arrogantly saying:
"You're still short one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, aren't you? Do you want me to go out? I... I can help you!"
All he wanted was to create chaos in the world and bring down all those Celestial Dragons who were high and mighty in Mary Geoise!
As for who did it, he doesn't care anymore!
"I don't have the authority to release you, and besides, I don't want to release you..."
Kuro became interested and laughed, "When you became a Shichibukai, you robbed the Celestial Tribute, right? What, can you replicate that robbing scheme again? There's no Celestial Tribute to rob in Impel Down."
"Hmph... Don't you want to know the secrets of Mary Geoise? Including its history from eight hundred years ago? I know everything." Doflamingo sneered.
"I don't want to, I'm not interested, don't contact me."
Kuro waved his hand dismissively, as if sending away a plague god, and walked away from Doflamingo.
Who the hell is interested in this? It's pointless and just causes trouble.
He had already completed the tasks assigned above. As for what that red person wanted to do, it was none of his business. He would just pretend that person didn't exist, and he was too lazy to complete the tasks given to him by his superiors.
He already has enough to do, and he needs to go back to Wano Country to deal with the situation.
As someone stationed in Wano Country, one should act like a leader.
As Doflamingo heard Kuro's footsteps fading into the distance, his smile vanished. He stared at the fence for a moment, then suddenly fell backward and lay on the floor.
"Fufufufufu!"
A little while later, he started laughing again.
"He's still pretending, still refusing to admit it, which means he's not ready yet. But that's okay, Kuro... As long as your ambition continues, we share the same goal. You'll come looking for me sooner or later, fufufufu..."
In the dark Impel Down, his eerie laughter echoed faintly.
After leaving Impel Down, Kuro immediately flew into the sky, heading directly towards Wano Country. At high speed, his body slammed through the air, creating a spindle-shaped cloud of air.
His gaze swept across the sea below, and then across the sky above...
After meeting the red-haired man, he suddenly had a realization.
like...
The Four Emperors are almost all gone.
I used to think the biggest threat and obstacle was gone.
Now that they were flying, they were no longer like before, having to worry about everything. In the New World, they were always afraid of encountering the Four Emperors, especially Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.
But now... it's all gone!
He had never felt so relaxed and carefree as he did at this moment, and he no longer had to live in fear. This feeling was simply wonderful.
"Upon closer reflection, there are advantages to being stationed in Wano Country. If I govern it well, I can be a local tyrant too!"
Kuro chuckled to himself in the air, thinking, "Wano Country's geographical location makes it difficult for ordinary people to get here. With my abilities, I can prevent anyone from coming up. Plus, if Kuzan really does stay in Wano Country as he said, then I'm in a much safer position!"
"I'm still an admiral, so no one in Wano Country can touch me. I can sit there peacefully and occasionally go down to wipe out some ignorant pirates. My life can proceed smoothly!"
Thinking of this, he chuckled.
"In ten or twenty years, no, in this case a little longer is fine too, I will find an outstanding junior in the Navy to take over this faction position. That way, I can say that I have done right by my colleagues in the faction and by the old man."
I wouldn't trade something this sure of success for the title of world champion!
He used to be afraid of Cass, but now he's not even afraid of Cass anymore.
This guy is currently stationed in Dressrosa, and as a lieutenant general, he has his own duties. How could he possibly have the opportunity to betray me?
Besides, he's already reached his peak; he can't rise any higher, so backstabbing him wouldn't be of any use.
How else could that bearded man betray him?
Are you suggesting we lift him onto the Sky Throne in Mary Geoise...?
Thinking of this, Kuro chuckled, increased his flight speed, and left a dismissive remark in the air:
"How could that be..."
