Kuro wasn't going to lie to the old man; he genuinely had a lot of business on the high seas.
The tourism industry in the West Sea, which is based on Pegasus Island, is no longer limited to just one island. Pegasus Island is now the largest tourism industry in the West Sea and is the leader. Moreover, over the years, some of its functions have been extended to other islands in the West Sea.
The basic operation is that Kuro authorizes merchants to expand their businesses to other parts of the West Blue using the Pegasus Island business model. Lowe's help is not uncommon. Merchants from the Insect Kingdom are also using this model. They pay Kuro an authorization fee and 10% of the profits. Kuro will then send relevant personnel from Pegasus Island to help them complete their business ventures. Of course, he does not cover their salaries.
Although some businesses failed, many others succeeded. Through this model, he not only built a large business but also enhanced the reputation of Pegasus Island through related industries. In the West Sea, Pegasus Island is the leading enterprise.
As for whether anyone will imitate this...
He is a naval admiral, and the people who help him are from an assassination family. No one would be so foolish as to try to imitate him.
And Dressrosa is even more so; Kuro owns land there, and his integrated tourism industry is famous throughout the sea.
In the East China Sea, he invested in the business that William originally owned and received a share of the profits.
When it comes to money, Kuro is a genuine 'I have no interest in money'.
He is very wealthy now, which means he can acquire a lot of resources, which is why Wano Country was able to stabilize so quickly.
"Business..."
Borsalino said meaningfully, "There are risks involved in running a large business."
Kuro smiled and patted his chest: "Old man, I'm a general, what risks could I possibly face?"
“Even a general isn’t omnipotent. As long as you have a plan in mind, that’s fine,” Borsalino said with a smile.
Behind the sunglasses, those eyes held an indescribable meaning, but soon, that look dispelled all doubt.
He raised his glass and smiled at Kuro, saying, "Young people always have their own careers. There's nothing wrong with fooling around a bit. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to this old man."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come to you if there are any problems," Kuro said.
This isn't just polite talk; he has his difficulties, and he always goes directly to the old man. Why should he do things himself when others can handle them?
After a few rounds of drinks and when he had eaten enough, Borsalino got up to leave, as he hadn't had a proper chance to explore the City of Flowers.
Before long, someone else came looking for this place.
"master!!"
The voice rang out before the person even arrived.
David rushed in and knelt down on one knee. "My lord, it's so good to see you again! Please allow me to express my sincerest greetings!"
"Stand up, stand up! What are you doing, a king? If others see this, they'll think I'm up to something! It's because of your overly polite attitude that I'm often misunderstood. It's one thing for those immature old men to misunderstand me, but even the old man is starting to think I'm up to something."
Kuro complained, "What can I do? I can't do anything right now."
Upon hearing this, David stood up and nodded solemnly: "Yes, sir, I was presumptuous."
"I just didn't expect you to come. I only sent you an invitation. Are you not going to deal with your country's affairs?" Kuro asked.
"Replying to your question, sir, Dressrosa is on the right track and can focus on stable development. Besides, with such a lively event, I naturally want to see what the country is like under your rule and learn from your experience."
“I don’t have much experience to share, it’s just small-scale work, but if you really want to know, go find Kro, he basically handled everything.”
"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave now!"
David didn't waste any words with Kuro and simply stepped back.
Kuro's words of pleasantries were stuck in his throat, and as he watched him leave, a question mark appeared on his forehead.
Doesn't this child exchange pleasantries?
Just pack up and leave?
"Hey, you're here."
Just a few minutes after David, a familiar voice rang out from outside.
A familiar white-haired figure stood there and greeted Kuro.
"elder brother."
Lida paused in her snacking and called out.
Lowe's body trembled slightly, his face tense, and he nodded coldly: "Hmm..."
"What are you doing here?" Kuro asked curiously. "Weren't you fighting the Flower Country?"
He did send out invitations, but it was just a polite gesture at the time. He never expected Lowe to come, especially since it was a critical period in the war.
"it's over."
Lowe said, "It ended in a complete victory for us."
"Congratulations! But next year is the World Conference. You started such a big war, you'll be criticized next year."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter. Once it's over, the next step is governance," Lowe said calmly.
"Hmm..."
While Kuro and Lowe were chatting, Lida finished the last cookie, looked at the cookie bag again, smacked her lips, and said, "This is pretty good. Wait a minute, I'm going to buy a cookie."
With that, she ran off in a flash.
As soon as Lida left, Lowe, who had previously acted very coldly, seemed to soften. He started to writhe and sway, his handsome face turning extremely lewd, his smile eerie. He wrapped his arms around his own shoulders and waist, uttering in ecstasy, "Call me brother, call me brother..."
