Kuro's idea was destined to fail, as Ace never returned after running away.
Isn't this good enough? Only a fool would fight against Whitebeard.
After confiscating the money from the people who had been defeated by the two men, Kuro and the others left.
Lida was a little worried before. She ran to the East Blue because the Grand Line was too scary. To be honest, she was very comfortable staying with Kuro during this time and had even become dependent on him.
But the thought of the white beard made her face fall.
"Kuro, will you really protect me? I eat so much and I'm such a troublemaker, forget it. I'm going back to the East Blue now, it's fine on my own."
As they walked down the street, Lida suddenly said this.
A hint of longing lingered in the depths of her gaze as she looked at Kuro.
Kuro wouldn't be surprised if he agreed; he's been through that kind of thing before.
She's used to it.
At the very least, we can't drag Kuro down.
"What are you thinking about all day long!"
Kuro sighed, "I'm a Marine. Even if you weren't a Marine now, before, if you hadn't committed a crime, you were a civilian. Isn't it only natural for the Marines to protect civilians?"
Lida pursed her lips, nodded emphatically, took a deep breath, and suddenly said solemnly to Kuro, "I believe you. If you betray me, I will never forgive you!"
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Forgiveness and all that, is that something you should be thinking about at your age!"
In my past life, eighteen was the age of innocence and carefree joy. But look at this world, there are plenty of people who run off to become pirates and risk their lives at sixteen or seventeen.
That's fucking awesome.
Like an old father, Kuro ruffled Lida's hair and ran off first.
"Kuro!"
Lida yelled angrily and chased after him, waving her fists.
Kro watched the two bickering, pushed up his glasses, a smile appearing on his lips, and followed them.
This kind of life is pretty good, at least better than being a pirate, where you don't have to worry about too much.
On the way, they found a pawn shop, pawned the gold and silver jewelry donated by kind people, bought some snacks for Lida to fill her stomach, and then encountered the navy who were looking for them, who called them back.
Smoker sat on a broken wall, gazing at the sea. After a long silence, he said, "What do you think about Princess Vivi hanging out with the Straw Hat crew, Kuro?"
“There must be something fishy about this,” Kuro said.
“Speak like a human,” Smoker said irritably.
“How should I know?” Kuro rolled his eyes.
"Crocodile..."
Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, slowly said, "He's the only pirate in this country. The Straw Hat crew's target here must be him. Once we find Crocodile, everything will become clear."
If you have your own ideas, why are you asking me?
Kuro smirked. "I'm telling you, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are on our side, why are you bothering them?"
Those are the Seven Warlords of the Sea; he doesn't want to have anything to do with them, not even to see them.
If encountering one Hawkeye is already this troublesome, what will happen if he encounters another one?
“I have no good feelings towards the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kuro. No matter what they are like, the essence of pirates remains unchanged. Besides, that man has always been very calculating. Staying in one country for a long time is never a good thing.”
Smoker stood up. "Go to Rainfield. I need to know the truth."
Kuro shrugged and remained silent.
Smoker gave him a surprised look. "I thought you would object."
"I'm a Marine, and I have to deal with anything related to pirates," Kuro said righteously.
In reality, he just wanted to gamble in the rain to make some money. He planned to disguise himself, activate his Observation Haki, grab what he could, and leave without anyone recognizing him.
The group set off for Rainland, but as soon as they arrived, Kuro disappeared.
This time he didn't bring anyone. Although he had comforted Lida before, Lida was clearly getting a little cocky and started acting up.
If they cause trouble, that's unacceptable!
Just in case, they decided not to bring anyone, and for this reason, they even handed over [Huazhou] to Keluo.
After all, the knife came from someone else's cadre, and it wouldn't be good if it were recognized.
He specially changed into a suit, wore sunglasses, and put on a fake beard. The big gold chain and gold watch that he had deliberately kept during the robbery came in handy.
As a result, Kuro's walking posture became swaggering, with his hands in his pockets and his steps wide and forceful, just like Doflamingo.
He's a complete and utter arrogant nouveau riche.
Looking like this, not only his colleagues, but even his parents from his past life wouldn't recognize him. And if they did, they'd probably pretend he wasn't their son.
Kuro went to gamble, while Smoker and his group began scouting in the rainy area.
Inside a secluded office in Las Vegas, a woman dressed in a sexy white outfit and wearing a small white hat smiled slightly and said to the seated man:
"It's interesting that the Straw Hat crew and Vivi are here. Strangely enough, the Marines are here too, and Smoker is leading the group."
"Smoker..."
Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, said in a deep voice, "He's always hated me. Let's ignore him. The Seven Warlords and the government are on the same side. If he keeps bothering us, let him die an accident. What do you say, Nico Robin?"
"We agreed not to use that name, but even so, there's a troublesome person we have to keep an eye on."
Robin chuckled and said, "That person's name is Kuro. I heard it and even used my ability to take a look. That man has a famous sword hanging at his waist. That sword belongs to our Mr. 11. It is said that he was captured by the Navy, so it should be him. The man that Hawkeye praised as being able to challenge his throne as the world's number one."
