These words caused Lida and Kro's expressions to change.
"I'm hungry, I'm going to get something to eat!"
Lida made an excuse to leave.
Bang!
Just then, the sliding door slammed shut.
Kuro released his grip, his face terribly grim. "No one is allowed to leave."
He glanced at the crowd, then said to Donald, "Tell me, how do you know this, and why is it in the newspaper?"
"Um?"
Donald was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Commander Kuro, you don't know?"
I know nothing about this!
Kuro suppressed the urge to retort and said, "What's going on, Kuro?!"
He glared at Crow, his eyes seeming to want to skin him alive.
Kro was startled by the glare. "Um, no, I was just going to say today that you didn't give me a chance."
With that, he strode forward, took out the newspaper he had been hiding in his pocket, laid it flat on Kuro's table, then stepped back, sweat beading on his forehead, and said, "Mr. Kuro, it was too late when we found this."
Above is a photo of him killing Redfield and the four-man kill of the North Sea Wensmoke.
Kuro leaned back, his eyes feeling as if they were being stabbed, and for a moment he couldn't bear to look directly at him.
The title, in particular, is so bad it's unreadable.
"A naval hero killed Lone Red? Who's the hero? Who the hell is the hero?!"
Kuro angrily pounded the newspaper with his finger, making loud banging noises, as if he were about to pierce through the table!
Then, he slumped back in his chair, staring blankly upwards like a soulless salted fish, before remembering something and perking up again.
He pulled out his cigar case, took out a cigar, and held it between his trembling fingers, gesturing as he spoke. "It's alright. The four kings promised me they wouldn't expose this. This must have been taken by some reckless war correspondent. Damn it, they managed to get such a clear picture!"
“Mr. Kuro…” Kuro hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
"Commander Kuro, this is the joint statement issued by the four kings of the North Sea!" Donald asked in surprise, "Why do they say that the four kings will not be exposed? Such a good thing should be publicized more."
Kuro: "..."
His eyes then fell on the newspaper, and sure enough, he saw the words "Joint Declaration of the Four Kings" at the bottom.
Kuro twirled his cigar in his hand again, unwilling to give up, and said, "No, as long as the Vinsmoke family complains, everything will be fine."
At that moment, Lida glanced at Chloe.
Kuro pursed his lips, sweating profusely, and said, "Mr. Kuro, Vinsmoke, he..."
“Didn’t Vinsmoke and the others already complain? I heard that Fleet Admiral Akainu and the Five Elders had a huge argument over this, but they still couldn’t reach an agreement, so Fleet Admiral Akainu went to Mary Geoise again,” Donald said.
The office fell silent after he said that.
Kuro slowly extended his fingers, which trembled as if he were having an epileptic seizure, and said in a low voice, "Lida and Kuro stay here. Everyone else, get out."
A group of people received orders and left the office.
With a bang, the door slammed shut, and Kuro immediately roared, "I clearly communicated everything! I clearly communicated everything! This week, this month, I thought nothing would happen! I was so happy, why, why did I have to find out this news, ah!!!"
The noise was so loud that it could be heard outside the office.
“Mr. Kuro…”
Cass burst into tears. "Is it because you feel ashamed? Yes, it's just Redfield. How can such a big fuss prove Mr. Kuro's resolve? He's just an old man!"
"I think so too!"
Donald nodded solemnly. "Although Lone Red is a formidable figure, not many people have actually heard of him. I only occasionally heard his name when I was traveling around the world as a wandering knight. He doesn't deserve to be included in legends like Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki. Commodore Clow should have known this long ago. His anger must be because the newspapers have exaggerated it too much. Ah... he really is a humble and genuine man!"
is that so?
Sazir nodded subconsciously, but then immediately shook his head.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
“Everyone is lying to me, even the king who promised me, and you too! Why didn’t you say so sooner!” Kuro roared at them.
“Mr. Kuro, I’ve been wanting to say this sooner, but seeing you in such a good mood, I didn’t want to spoil it. Besides, you also ordered that all phone calls and news should not be communicated to you.” Kuro spoke very quickly.
Kuro jumped up from his seat and roared at Chloe, "Bullshit!! You idiot!! Trash!!!"
“Mr. Kuro, isn’t that a bit…” Kuro pushed up his glasses, looking embarrassed.
"I'm so angry!!"
Kuro slammed his cigar on the table, leaned against the wall, and panted heavily for a few moments before continuing, "You guys never give me any advice, but you're always the first to complain! Huh?! Such a big problem, and you can't even come up with a solution? All you do is eat all day!"
He glared at Lida.
"Just going to wander around town!"
He glared at Kro again.
"Where's the solution?! Do you even know what Redfield represents?! The Lone Red! Do you know what the situation is like at headquarters right now?! We're facing a talent shortage! I might get a promotion right away! I'm going to the New World!!"
He beat his feet and pounded his chest, saying, "I came to HEB Province... no, I came to Xihai because of my ambition, my long-cherished wish! Not to show off my achievements to the headquarters!"
He took a few more breaths, then sat back down in his chair, trembling. "They've gone too far... Why are those kings so bold? Why do they dare to ignore my threats!"
"Perhaps... I misunderstood," Chloe said, pursing her lips.
"I'll fly straight to the North Sea and smash those islands, believe it or not!" Kuro roared.
"Ha ha..."
After saying this, Kuro took a few more breaths to calm down.
He shakily picked up the cigar, put it in his mouth, and lit it after several tries with a lighter.
"call..."
He leaned back in his chair, exhaled a puff of smoke, and remained silent for a long while.
After roaring for a while, he finally calmed down a bit.
Of course, there's no way he'd smash it. He was just saying that in anger. If he actually went and smashed up someone's island because of this, he'd be truly insane.
However, the matter cannot remain unresolved.
"Give me a solution, young masters and ladies."
Kuro said to the two men, "I'm begging you, please come up with a plan. I need to figure out how to minimize the impact of this."
"Chewing..."
"Shut up!"
Kuro interrupted Lida, glaring at her and saying, "If you keep saying such old-fashioned things, you won't get lunch today."
“Hmph, I can eat out,” Lida said without any fear.
"When will you give me a break?" Kuro said helplessly.
