"I still want to go to the martial arts tournament."
Kikyo hesitated for a moment, but then made up her mind. She said to Kuro, "I am very grateful that you let me join the Navy, but I really can't rest easy about these children and this land."
"Well, whatever you want."
Kuro shrugged. "If you want to join, you can come find me on Pegasus Island later. As for the martial arts tournament... we can do it together. I happen to be going to Metamorphosis Town to find someone."
“Kuro?” Lida looked at him.
Kuro patted Lida's head. "No one has called me yet. They're not giving me face, so I'll have to go find them in person."
"Eat early and rest, we'll set off tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I understand."
Lida responded and looked towards the direction of the Town of Metamorphosis, a complex look in her eyes.
The deer weren't finished. Kuro and the other marines ate two of them, the children ate one, and he didn't touch the rest.
This filled Shangtu with gratitude once again.
Late at night, after everyone had gone to rest, Kuro stood by the stream, smoking a cigar, looking at the moon, and remained silent for a long time.
“Mr. Kuro…”
At this moment, Kuro stepped forward, approached Kuro, and said, "Your actions before..."
"You figured it out?" Kuro asked.
"yes."
Kro adjusted his glasses and said, "The four islands landed in the direction that led to four towns in the Insect Kingdom. You even deliberately let the Revolutionary Army go... were you trying to help them?"
"You can't say that, Crowe. It's all a coincidence. Everything is too coincidental. Who knew that my ability control wasn't good enough? There was a problem when I was testing whether that old blind man was a member of the Revolutionary Army, and it just so happened to hit the town. As for the Revolutionary Army, how would I know where they are?"
Kuro remained silent, standing quietly behind Kuro, waiting for his response.
Kuro stretched out his hand, looked at his fingers, and slowly said, "If we're talking about explanations, this is enough. After all, CP3 was unconscious at the time, so the right to explain is in my hands. That's enough. In the end, we Marines also need to abide by the rules of the world. By doing this, I can be true to my conscience."
Kuro wasn't worried at all about the town being destroyed.
Why don't you try replacing them with hawkish officers?
The beating will be even more outrageous, okay?
Although Kuro didn't want to admit it, he was now a naval elite and a well-known figure in the navy. At most, he would get a scolding from Sengoku for such a trivial matter.
So what if we destroyed a few towns? You were the one who told me to arrest the revolutionaries, not the other way around.
Moreover, if they do this, the World Government will have to think twice before trying to mobilize him, considering whether they can withstand his destructive power.
Everything is going according to plan.
...
The link between the Insect Kingdom and the Flower Kingdom is a narrow strip of land. From here, the Insect Kingdom can land in the Flower Kingdom, and vice versa.
The war between the two countries has been going on for some time now.
All the soldiers of the Insect Kingdom are here, confronting the Flower Kingdom. There are no major battles, but local conflicts occur every day, and small wars break out from time to time.
Relying on their new weapons, they basically dominated the Flower Country in battle, and the Flower Country maintained a balance mainly through its high-end combat power.
However, today, the Insect Kingdom has taken the initiative to retreat.
The atmosphere inside the Insect Kingdom's camp was extremely solemn.
Inside the lamplight, every soldier watched his passing colleagues with scrutinizing eyes.
Inside the large tent, a group of white-haired people sat there, looking at each other.
"How much time are we going to waste here? The martial arts tournament starts tomorrow. If we don't get back in time, the patriarch will be angry."
A white-haired man licked his lips and laughed, "Love, why not just kill half of them? That way, the Revolutionary Army will be gone, and even if they do, they won't pose a threat."
"Shut up!"
Lowe glared at him and said, "Do you want to lose the war? We're in the lead!"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter." The white-haired man shrugged. "The ancestor's orders are the most important. Whether we win the war or not has nothing to do with us."
"Enough! I'm in charge here!"
Lowe slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "We'll set off tomorrow morning and arrive before the martial arts tournament. Now, keep an eye on them, but don't indiscriminately abuse those soldiers. This is the foundation for our victory in this war!"
"Yes, yes... The ancestor favors you the most, so you're in charge. But please give me some face, since I'm your uncle by blood."
The white-haired man stood up and said something to Lowe.
The man was middle-aged, with a white beard and slightly curly white hair. In the Insect Kingdom, this was the mark of the prestigious 'Luo' family. His face bore a resemblance to Luo Wei.
"uncle..."
Luo Wei sneered at him: "Are you kidding me, Luo Da? The Luo family has always respected the strong. Whether it's you or your son Luo Shan, if you can beat me, you can do whatever you want. If you can't, then obey my orders. We... have no family ties!"
"Tch, she's really not cute. Fine, whatever, I'm going to rest."
Loda waved his hand, lifted the tent flap first, and went out.
"I'll take my leave now."
One of the Luo family members said something and then went outside.
Then, one by one, the members of the Luo family left the tent, leaving only Luo Wei sitting there all alone.
He squinted at the empty tent and slowly said, "Come out."
A raven flew in through the hole above the tent and landed on Lowe's shoulder.
“We’ve been discovered by the World Government. That famous Marine, Lucilfer Kuro, is also in the Land of Insects. He’s troublesome, stronger than we thought,” the crow said, its voice low and thin.
"Lucil Kuro..."
Lowe pondered the name, then said in a deep voice, "As expected, he came after all..."
"He's accompanied by someone who appears to be from your Luo family. What should we do?" The black crow pecked at its wing and asked.
"Don't worry about them, they won't get in our way, but..."
A cold glint appeared in Lowe's eyes. "This is an opportunity. That Lucilius Kuro might cause trouble for the Ancestor. Now is the best opportunity. I was already hesitating about whether to make a move tonight, but they have forced me to make a choice."
The crow was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, there are other ways; we don't necessarily have to take this route."
"Only this path is the safest. I will bear all the blame. Inform your Chief of Staff: the King is his responsibility, the Luo family is mine. Tonight..."
Lowe clenched his fist and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Then launch a coup!!"
With that, he stood up and walked straight outside.
"I'll use the blood of the Luo family as a stepping stone on my path to becoming king!"
