Law's Devil Fruit ability was developed to a very high level, and he later became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
He was still a bit behind Hawkeye. If he were to be too exposed and sent to the New World to fight with the Four Emperors, he wouldn't be able to survive.
"Keep a low profile, you must keep a low profile!" Kuro clenched his fist.
The warship docked, and a group of marines escorted the Krieg Pirates to the naval base.
Meanwhile, at the naval base.
"Colonel Smoker, Warrant Officer Lucilfer Kuro from Squad 153, as reported in the report, has arrived!"
In the smoke-filled room, a navy officer reported to the figure.
"Quiet down. He's just a branch warrant officer. What's the big deal about him coming here?"
A deep, resonant voice rang out.
"Yes! I heard that Warrant Officer Kuro stopped Colonel Morgan, the former head of his branch, from his rampage and captured a six-million-dollar ability user, so he was allowed to enter headquarters for further training."
"Oh, a navy officer with some ability, but so what?"
"They also captured the Krieg Pirates!"
Snap.
The tall pile of stones on the table fell down.
The figure stood up, pushed open the window, and as the smoke gradually dissipated, Smoker, with two cigars dangling from his lips, asked in surprise, "The Krieg Pirates? A branch warrant officer?"

"Dashi, how many times have I told you not to be so impulsive?"
Smoker frowned. "What big news?"
Tashigi exclaimed excitedly, "Hawkeye! Hawkeye has come to the East Blue! He's having a duel with a Marine in the East Blue, claiming that Marine is qualified to challenge for the title of the world's greatest swordsman! That's the title of the world's greatest swordsman! That's amazing!"
"Oh? That Hawkeye would actually say something like that."
Smoker was startled. "Which navy officer?"
"I heard he's a navy officer from the branch, his name is... Cro, yes, Cro!"
Smoker then looked at the man in the black suit below. "That name does sound familiar. Interesting."
