Lisala?
This name, though not from very long ago, is one that Kuro can remember.
It was because of that woman's death that a country was completely transformed into a phantom hell.
Was he actually born in the Twin Horse Kingdom of the Western Sea?
Kuro looked at Fanny, whom he admired, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.
Sometimes, it's a good thing to leave people with a little hope.
There's no need to push things to the extreme.
The next few days were for Old K's coronation ceremony, but after the beast attack on the city, Kuro wasn't very interested, and neither were the common people.
Meanwhile, the kabuki actors in the palace looked at the large statue on the street with inscrutable and somewhat complicated expressions.
Sure enough, after the coronation ceremony, half of these Kabuki actors disappeared in Benma Castle.
However, this has nothing to do with Kuro.
"Remember your promise. We've found your fiancée. As for the people, you can choose them yourself and send them to Pegasus Island."
After attending the coronation ceremony, Kuro bid farewell to K, and the group left Galloping Horse City for the port to return home.
However, among this group of people all dressed in white uniforms, one black figure stood out conspicuously.
Why did you follow me?
Kuro looked at Fanny and said, "Want to go out to sea? You can come with us, but we're only responsible for getting you to Pegasus Island."
"Ah...no."
Fanny shook her head and pointed at Cass, saying, "That bearded man asked me to join the Navy, which I thought was a good idea. After all, finding people and herbs is something one person can't do alone. The Navy is the most powerful organization in the world, so I agreed."
"Huh? Cass?" Kuro was taken aback.
"Yes, Colonel Kuro!"
Cass said loudly, "I think Miss Fanny's medical skills are excellent. These past few days, some of our subordinates got drunk, and after drinking Miss Fanny's medicine, they immediately sobered up. When they were injured, they applied Miss Fanny's medicine, and their wounds healed quickly. Therefore, I invite Miss Fanny to join the Navy."
She has this effect too?
"Well, whatever... I'll join if I want." Kuro shook his head.
One person joining the Navy is not going to stop others from joining.
Besides, this Fanny seems harmless, unlike that bearded scoundrel who's such a headache.
Thinking about this made Kuro furious.
He's a brigadier general!
Although he hasn't gone to report on his duties yet, he is essentially already a brigadier general!
Who else could be the culprit besides Cass?
What? You're saying I saved people in the insect kingdom?
I'll save him, you idiot!
Damn it!
The group arrived at the dock, boarded a warship, and finally returned to Pegasus Island.
"Wow, Pegasus Island... has become peaceful."
As soon as she disembarked, Fanny looked at the peaceful Pegasus Town and exclaimed in amazement, "So this is the power of the Navy... It's really amazing!"
In her memory, Pegasus Island had always been a place of war, and even if it had been cleaned up by the navy, it should still be in a state of disrepair.
Fanny was quite surprised to find that Pegasus Town, with its large population and clean appearance, was already a normal town.
"You all do as you please. Cass, take Fanny to get the paperwork done. The rest of you can go about your business."
Kuro said something and went back to his office first. Lida and Kuro followed closely behind. After they arrived at the office together, Kuro sat on his 'throne' that he hadn't sat on for several days and slumped there like a salted fish.
"Finally, they're back."
Kuro lit a cigar and said, "Is everything alright now? Is everything alright from now on? Kas has cleared out most of the pirates in the area, Lida's matter is over, and we've gone to the nearby Twin Horse Kingdom. We've achieved our goal of populating Pegasus Island with people and making it prosperous. Everything is alright now, right? I can finally have some peace and quiet!"
"Kroo! You don't have much of a story to tell, do you?!"
He thought of something and asked Kro.
Kuro pursed his lips. What kind of story could he possibly have? His story ended long ago in the East Blue, otherwise, would you have tricked him into joining the Navy?
“I understand, Mr. Kuro,” Kuro replied obediently, suppressing his sarcasm.
"That's good. If there's anything, you'll have to deal with it yourself!" Kuro glared at him and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Since everything's alright, then let's proceed as planned. Pegasus Island needs to develop. I don't care about pirates, but I can help my subordinates. But you're in charge of this, Kuro. Make sure you manage it well and don't let that idiot Cass cause trouble everywhere. Of course, I'll keep an eye on things too."
“Yes, I will.” Chloe whispered.
Kuro wasn't worried about the others, except for Kass, as he had gotten to know them quite well over this period of time.
Donald hails from the Flower Country. He's a martial arts fanatic and a wandering knight-errant, as well as an honest person. He's incredibly lucky to have survived being beaten to death as a child. His master died, leaving him all alone. He has no stories or conflicts, and his only enemy seems to have been mistaken for himself, but he's let it go. Now, he wants to focus on practicing martial arts.
Platycodon grandiflorus...
There's not much to say about that deaf man, but it's a bit infuriating.
Sazir seems to be doing fine, and can even be used as a scapegoat, making him a good match for Kro.
If they cause any trouble in the future, these two will be perfect to use.
One is called "Kro" and the other is called "Kuro," and they sound almost identical, enough to confuse people.
The newly joined Fanny has nothing to do with Kuro. She is neither his subordinate nor his subordinate's subordinate; she is just a Marine who joined through normal channels.
"Hmm." Kuro nodded, glancing out the window. "It's good that everything is on track. Peaceful development is the key. Creating trouble is exhausting..."
He's only been at headquarters for less than a year since he came from the East China Sea, but he feels more exhausted than he did in the ten years he spent in the East China Sea.
He's encountered all the top powers, and the strange Devil Fruit users on the Grand Line are even more terrifying.
Even after reaching the Western Sea, the matter was not yet over; the goddess Luo was enough to send chills down one's spine.
The ocean is indeed too dangerous.
If he hadn't been just a tiny bit stronger than them, he probably would have been the one who fell. That's terrifying.
Fortunately, all of this is finally over.
The West Blue is, after all, one of the four seas. Although it is close to the New World and its average military strength is not low, with the presence of mafia and powerful countries, it is still not the Grand Line and it is unlikely that any more monsters will emerge.
If something else really comes along, he might as well go back to headquarters.
It's upsetting.
The town outside the window appeared very peaceful, with residents living the lives they wanted in harmony, some doing business, some buying things, and some repairing buildings.
Isn't that good enough?
He doesn't have any dreams or anything like that.
Oh...yes.
My greatest dream, Lucilfer Kuro, is to live out my life safely.
