The legend of the older generation, Redfield, has come to an end.
Kuro stared at his corpse for a long time before turning back to Lida.
"Huh? Why haven't you left yet?"
He looked at the Vinsmoke family members lying there motionless, seemingly for most of the night, and asked.
Judge pursed his lips. What could he say?
Did he think that since you two are evenly matched in combat, if you end up both severely injured, he could take advantage of the situation, not only monopolizing the treasure map shared by the four kingdoms, but also taking the opportunity to eliminate 'Lone Red' and become famous overnight?
But looking at Kuro's appearance...
His body was also tattered and torn. Although he had a domineering aura protecting him, he had many wounds and bruises. However, he still looked like he was in complete control.
Judge remained silent for a moment, then retreated step by step, leaning on his spear. The others followed silently as Judge walked away.
No one dared to utter any harsh words to Kuro.
Fearing he would reveal his earlier ferocity, they left them there as well.
A living Vinsmoke has influence over the World Government; a dead Vinsmoke is worthless.
They quickly reached the shore. Judge took out a Den Den Mushi, looked towards the sea, and said into the receiver, "Come pick me up."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Kuro, who was now just a silhouette, and said, "Just you wait, you won't get away with this!"
Only after arriving here did he dare to utter such harsh words.
"The Navy is ultimately the Navy, and it cannot escape the influence of the World Government. You have caused me such great losses, and I will definitely report this to the World Government!"
Kuro couldn't hear Judge's words, nor was he interested in listening. He had already deactivated his Observation Haki and, after such a battle, all he wanted to do was rest.
"Navy, Navy Captain!"
At that moment, a group of soldiers helped four kings wearing crowns run over.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
The four kings bowed to Kuro and said, "You saved our country! If we had been any later, Vinsmoke would have killed us all!"
"This has nothing to do with me. Don't put all the blame on me. I was just here to gather information, and then I ran into a pirate. Yes, he's a pirate. I don't know anything about this Lone Red or Count Red, and I don't know them. Don't go spreading rumors outside, or else..."
He reached out and beckoned, and the clear sky suddenly turned dark. When everyone looked up, they were so frightened that their mouths gaped open and their bodies trembled.
In the sky that day, countless islands stretched across the sky, their sheer number making one's scalp crawl.
“Otherwise, your country will one day face this situation!” Kuro threatened, feigning ferocity.
“I, we understand…” the four kings said obediently.
To confirm their sincerity, Kuro activated his Observation Haki. Only then did he nod in satisfaction, wave his hand, and the massive, imposing island that blotted out the sky rose into the air, restoring clarity to the sky.
"By the way, tell me why the navy here disappeared, so I can write a detailed report."
Seeing that the formidable navy had returned to normal, the four kings began to complain, one after another.
They hadn't actually seen the Vinsmoke family execute any naval personnel here, nor had they ever seen the navy. However, the purpose of the war was that the four countries were engaged in a war between two countries due to the uneven distribution of resources. Two of the countries invited the Vinsmoke family to help them win, but who knew that the Vinsmoke family would betray them and turn into a single family taking on all four countries.
What's most infuriating is that they never fought.
If Kuro hadn't suddenly arrived, they probably would have already been finished.
As for what Vinsmoke wants...
"I remember our four countries used to be one country, right? Is this what we need...?"
A king pulled out an old, yellowed fragment of a treasure map from his robes and asked in confusion.
“I have one too, I’ve always carried it with me. It was passed down to me by my father, who said it was passed down to him by his grandfather, who apparently passed it down to his great-grandfather.” Another king also produced the same fragment of the treasure map.
Seeing this, the other two kings each pulled out identical ones.
The four treasure maps can be pieced together to form a complete treasure map.
"I thought this was just a legend, a myth. I never imagined you had it too," one of the kings remarked.
"It's a harmful thing."
Another king, looking at the treasure map, suddenly snatched it away and handed it to Kuro, saying, "Since both Vinsmoke and that 'Lone Red' want this, we can't hide it safely either. Here, take it. With it in your hands, we have nothing left for others to covet."
This is what smart people do.
Since this thing will attract the attention of powerful individuals, getting rid of it is the best option.
They didn't know what the things passed down from generation to generation were, nor were they interested in them. What mattered most to them was their throne; everything else was negotiable.
If they had said so earlier, they wouldn't have even bothered fighting if the Vinsmoke wanted it; they would have just handed it over.
However, it seems that family still wants their heads...
"Treasure map?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow, reached out and took it, glancing at it.
"Hmm... Cass?"
He doesn't understand.
He has no idea how to understand this thing.
From a young age, he should focus on cultivating his own strength. He doesn't understand anything else. Otherwise, when he was a sergeant in the East China Sea, he would have kicked Cass away. Why would he need this hot-blooded idiot to be his adjutant?
However, looking at pictures is Cass's forte.
