In the distance, shouts could be heard.
A dense crowd, armed with weapons, approached this direction.
As the wall crumbled, Kuro came to Kuro's side.
“Mr. Kuro, a lot of people have arrived... They are soldiers from the Insect Kingdom.”
"I saw it."
Kuro looked over and saw that the leader of the soldiers was a pale man with a fierce face, wearing a black feather coat and a bird-beak mask.
The revolutionary army and local soldiers joined forces.
Just as Kuro was about to speak, a man in black suddenly appeared nearby.
"Colonel Kuro! Stop them! The Revolutionary Army is inciting its soldiers to rebel! Stop them now!"
That was Nalga. I don't know where he came from. Judging from the scars all over his body, he must have been in a fight.
It's strange that he wasn't beaten to death...
Kuro didn't speak. He took a step and kicked away a clump of minced meat on the ground. He clenched his fist, and the falling rain suddenly gathered up, as if it were alive, enveloping the minced meat and forming a huge ball of water that floated in the air.
Rumble...
The land in this area was constantly being shattered and collapsed, and a huge crater appeared on the ground of this battlefield, centered on Kuro.
The rock fragments rose up, entered the water mass, merged with it, and eventually enveloped it to form a huge stone sphere.
"Get out of here!"
Kuro swung his arm, and the giant stone ball shot rapidly towards the sea, quickly transforming into a shooting star.
If you fly in this direction for a while, you'll reach the vast, uninhabited sea nearby, then plunge down and sink completely to the bottom.
After doing all this, Kuro acted as if nothing had happened and said to Nalga in surprise, "Oh~ Captain Nalga."
He looked at the densely packed group of soldiers charging towards him and shook his head, saying, "You overestimate me. I'm just a naval captain. How could I possibly handle such a large number of soldiers? Besides, war isn't the navy's responsibility. In this situation, we should go back and report to the World Government so they can make their own decision."
Nalga stared blankly at Kuro spouting nonsense, his mind still replaying the large stone sphere that had been lifted up earlier.
You fucking smashed that ball down!
These tens of thousands of people are just a matter of minutes!
"Lucil Kuro!"
Nalga said sternly, "Do you know what it means to disobey the World Government's orders? Don't ruin your life!"
Kuro rolled his eyes, flicked the ash off his cigar with two fingers, exhaled a puff of smoke, and turned to leave.
"If you're not satisfied, go sue me to the World Government."
He simply said something, without even looking at Nalga, and waved his hand, and the navy gathered around him.
"What's your choice? Come with me, or stay here?" Kuro asked Kikyo.
"Huh? Pork knuckle or shrimp?"
Kikyo said with difficulty, "Although I know how to make them, now is not the time to eat."
Kuro: "..."
"Fine, you decide for yourself. Anyway, things will change soon. If you want, you can come find me on Pegasus Island."
Kuro waved his hand helplessly, ignoring her, and led the remaining navy to board the ship.
"Lida, are you saying goodbye to your brother?"
Kuro suddenly stopped, glanced at Lowe who was lying there still breathing, and asked Lida.
"No need."
Lida shook her head and said, "I am Flo Lida, and I will always be Flo Lida. I am not a member of the Flo family. I am just a member of the Navy."
Kuro looked at her, shook his head and smiled, then patted Lida's hair. "Alright, then you'll always be a Marine. Kuro, get everyone on board, we're heading back."
If we don't go back now, staying here will really be a quagmire.
There was no direct conflict between the revolutionary army and the navy.
Even Crow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he watched Kuro and the other marines board the ship. They weren't prepared for a hard battle with this man, but they weren't afraid either, as he had already informed Dragon when they encountered him.
Even if they manage to hold off Lucilfer Kuro until Dragon arrives, this country will still be overthrown by them.
But retreating would be the best option.
"How can it be repaired!"
Nalga cursed, and seeing so many people attacking, he had no choice but to retreat. He took a step with Moonwalk and rose into the sky, preparing to rush onto Kuro's warship.
Just then, Kuro's hand, which had been hanging down, suddenly clenched.
boom!
A huge wave suddenly rose high and hit Nalga in mid-air. The huge impact sent him crashing into the harbor, where he was immediately surrounded by a flock of crows.
"Oh dear, Captain Nalga is having a bad time. He's been knocked over by a huge wave. Hurry up and fire the cannons to see if we can save him."
At this moment, the warship had already left the port, and Kuro casually instructed the navy to open fire.
Boom boom boom!
Soon, the warships fired shells from their sides, but it seemed that all the cannons on ships in this world had a rule of 'basically never hitting people'. The volley of shells either landed in the water or on the ground far away from the soldiers, creating several craters.
Meanwhile, the soldiers had already pointed their swords and spears at Nalga and captured him.
"How can it be repaired!"
Kuro slammed his fist on the edge of the ship and roared, "You revolutionaries, just you wait! The World Government won't let you get away with this!"
The warship was getting further and further away. Kuro shouted at the top of his lungs, "Captain Nalga, you have to hold on! The World Government will definitely come to save you!"
After saying this, he turned around, his angry expression immediately calming down. He took a drag of his cigarette, leaned against the railing of the boat, and said calmly, "Finally, it's over."
“Mr. Kuro…”
Chloe adjusted her glasses and asked, "Is this really a good idea?"
Kuro didn't care at all and said, "Do you think the Revolutionary Army would let him go? I have the power of interpretation now, and I can interpret it however I want. Besides, how could a behemoth like the Revolutionary Army be dealt with by a mere colonel like me? There are fundamental principles to follow. If I say I can't do it, then I really can't."
Do we really have to survive?
That doesn't matter, go ahead and complain. It's not like he hasn't done anything. Isn't he also trying to thoroughly investigate the Revolutionary Army?
Moreover, the World Government deals with the Fleet Admirals and Generals. Sengoku is almost retired, so he doesn't have time to deal with him. At most, he'll get a scolding.
As for the old man...
You expect that old sailor to blame yourself?
Are you kidding me?
This is a transitional period for naval power, and everything revolves around naval affairs. As for the overthrow of a nation... well, it's not like it hasn't happened before. It's a headache even for the world government, so how could he possibly solve it?
Let the world government deal with that.
"At least it eliminated the trouble caused by Lida, and with the complaints from those I drove away, it's a win-win situation."
At this moment, Kuro's best wish was that the World Government would have to demote him in order to deal with him; that would be the most wonderful thing.
