Several large warships sailed on the sea, packed with people, all of whom were elite naval officers, none of whom held a rank lower than rear admiral.
There were a total of seven ships, and at the very front was a huge, gleaming golden vessel.
Kuro is inside the Golden Lion.
After the main battle was over, Kuro had some people clean up the mess, check if there were any survivors to finish them off, and then led the remaining Marines to Mary Geoise.
Among the fortresses on the deck of the Golden Lion, the upper level of the largest fortress is where Kuro's office is located. At this moment, he is sitting in the main seat, still in the state of fusion with Luo Gui, and letting him recover his strength.
But it doesn't really matter. The top ones have all been taken down. Even if there are those die-hard pirates and a bunch of people who escaped from Impel Down, what can they do? They're not that strong. The people I brought are definitely enough to handle them. I don't even need to lift a finger.
In the past, he was the one who kept order and controlled the scene.
It's not a big problem.
"Kroo, has any news come in yet? Has it been confirmed?"
Kuro looked at Kro, who seemed a little excited over there.
"No!"
Kuro shook his head decisively, seemingly somewhat pleased. "Mr. Kuro, we've lost contact with Mary Geoise. We can't get through to the Den Den Mushi no matter what we do. It seems like we're completely cut off from the outside world."
"Did it disconnect? Was the signal lost?"
Kuro stroked his chin and pondered, "That flamingo also came out? It's really bold, actually going straight to Mary Geoise."
Ordinary pirates couldn't possibly break through Mary Geoise. If it were that easy, they would have been beaten eight hundred times over.
They definitely possess the ability to sever their communication, but Kuro doesn't know those people. The only one he knows who could do that is imprisoned in Impel Down. Now that Impel Down has been breached, and that flamingo possesses the ability to fly, it might just be released.
As for attacking Mary Geoise...
He had that motive.
"Never mind, we'll deal with it all at once later," Kuro said nonchalantly.
He has six of the Seven Warlords of the Sea on his side!
Um... Bucky doesn't count.
Even though their stamina was reduced by half due to Lida's absorption, the six combat-capable individuals were more than capable of dealing with Doflamingo.
With the presence of Kas's Conqueror's Haki and his own abilities, dealing with pirates would be a piece of cake.
"Come to think of it, you don't seem surprised at all."
Kuro glanced at Kro beside him, and at Lida, who was eating to replenish her energy, and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"You two knew all along?"
"I know."
Before Chloe could deny it, Lida blurted it out. She picked up a small cake, popped the whole thing into her mouth, and said:
"He's had it for a long time, didn't you know?"
How would I know!
If I'd known, would I have been so surprised?
Kuro rolled his eyes, but he couldn't say it like that, so he cleared his throat and said:
How could I not know? I was, well... testing you all. After all, we're colleagues who spend every day together. You should have a general understanding of your colleagues, not just find out now... So when did you find out?
"It's very early, probably around..."
Lida looked up, deep in thought, still stuffing snacks into her mouth. "It's just..."
She frowned and thought for a long time before finally shaking her head: "Never mind, I forgot. Anyway, it was a long time ago. I always thought you knew."
“Of course I’ve always known,” Kuro repeated.
Lida rolled her eyes. "That's just how it is."
"Conqueror's Haki..."
Kuro sighed, "The probability of someone with Conqueror's Haki appearing in the Navy is really rare."
Of all the people he knew, the Warring States period was one, and now there's another one, Cass.
I never realized before... this guy is actually so talented! With some more training, he might become a pillar of the Navy.
As Kuro was deep in thought, Cass and Wilbur stood together on the deck of the Golden Lion, looking up at the sky.
“Are they ready?” Cass asked.
"That's about it. A lot of people have gathered at Red Harbor. Kuzan led some Kingdom troops to capture the Stairs of Mary Geoise, but it seems they were stopped. The last news was that Doflamingo released the 'Birdcage,' and then we lost contact," Wilbur said.
"I see, so contact has been lost... No wonder the World Government didn't react. Oh well, we've already announced it to the whole world, so it'll be the same when we arrive in Mary Geoise."
"All parties are prepared. When we announced it to the world, that was the signal. I estimate that we are already announcing it to the world now."
Yes, they've stopped hiding.
An ending is a new beginning, as Mr. Kuro once said.
He used the immense prestige of his victory in the Second Marineford War to command the navy, thus eliminating the last weakness.
Mr. Kuro must have been holding back until now, just to decide the outcome of this war.
If they lose, all is lost. They can't even beat pirates, yet they dare to dream of fighting the World Government.
If they win, they will show the world that they have the strength and determination to wipe out all the pirates. This will make most of the marines hold back, and the encouraged marines will follow Mr. Kuro's plan.
That's the strategy!
