Golden Lion?
For the navy personnel watching the live stream, some knew the name, while others did not.
After all, he was a man who had disappeared for more than twenty years, but those in the navy who didn't know soon found out after the old navy man explained it to them.
The legendary great pirate!
Admiral of the Flying Pirates!
Shiki the Golden Lion!
Was that person killed by their navy?
In an office, Garp and Sengoku sat facing each other, snacks in their hands, watching a live stream from a small Den Den Mushi next to them.
Garp slammed his fist on the table and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, that brat Kuro is going to get a promotion!"
"That's a good thing, Garp."
Zhan Guo, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Now is indeed the time for him to come out and intimidate those criminals who escaped from the sixth floor."
Besides the navy, there was another pirate watching this live stream.
Dressrosa.
A live stream was projected onto a slightly dark room.
"Fufufufufu..."
On the throne opposite the live stream, Doflamingo sat there, shrugging his shoulders and laughing: "So it's finally here, Lucilfer Kuro. It's time for you to officially step onto this stage..."
...
Kuro stood there, stunned, watching Sakazuki continue speaking into the Den Den Mushi:
"Defeated Absolun..."
Absolun?
Who is that?
At a naval base, a young navy officer asked his superior a question.
His superior was a veteran naval officer who had experienced many major events and knew a little about everything.
"【Phantom Demon Hao】, a very troublesome pirate. He once stirred up trouble on the high seas. If you encounter him, you won't even know how you died," the old marine said.
Meanwhile, within the new headquarters.
"Absolon? That sounds familiar." Garp stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Ah... I vaguely remember him. He was an ability user who could interfere with the mind and the five senses, but I captured him."
Sengoku said, "That ability is of no use to me."
He is a great Buddha, a man possessing the wisdom and spirit of the Buddha; mental attacks have no effect on him.
"They defeated the Goddess of the Luo River..."
Sakassky continued speaking.
Goddess of the Luo River?
This name is also very familiar to the older generation.
"That fighting maniac," Garp grinned, crushing a senbei cracker in his teeth, "was he taken down too?"
“I thought he had disappeared.” The eyes of the Warring States period gleamed.
Yame!
Stop talking...
Kuro felt a pang of longing in his heart.
When Sakazuki mentioned Absolun, Kuro hadn't fully realized who Absolun was.
Just as he finally remembered that he had met the person with the ability to manipulate his five senses in a certain country, Sakazuki's next sentence made him start to panic.
"Defeated Redfield..."
Yame! Stop talking! Stop talking!
Kuro felt his mind begin to twist.
The solitary red, the Red Earl, a great pirate—everyone knows that.
The news has spread throughout the newspapers.
"Defeated Bondi Wilder..."
Yamete yo!!
Kuro's heart was completely pierced, and he let out a meaningless wail.
One name after another was uttered by Sakazuki, causing Kuro's face to turn completely pale and his body to begin to weaken.
This office looks pretty dark.
But in that live stream, only Kuro, standing behind Kizaru, had an unusually pale face that was clearly visible.
Smoker looked at Kuro with surprise, a hint of ruthlessness creeping into his heart.
This guy was in the first half, yet he killed so many great pirates, while I, who risked my life in the New World, captured no pirates whose achievements can compare to Kuro's.
"Oh~ Tina is surprised."
Tina was also somewhat surprised.
When she went to find Tsuru after dinner, she learned that Kuro was going to be promoted, but she thought it was just a factional promotion. Apart from Redfield, she didn't know anything about the others.
This guy was hiding something so well...
"Hehehe, Kuro, you're pretty amazing."
Kakei, sitting in third place, shrugged and smiled at him.
“That’s right, those were all once world-renowned pirates.” Gion nodded and smiled.
"Oh~ Kuro, how scary." Kizaru said with a chuckle.
Kuro's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets as he stared at Kizaru.
What's going on?!
Isn't this the completion ceremony plus Sakazuki's first speech after becoming a marshal?!
What does this have to do with him!
Furthermore, why did the investigation need to be so detailed?
They even managed to find out about someone like Absolun!
"That's right, the one who accomplished such a feat is our Navy. Step forward..."
Sakazuki shouted, "Rear Admiral Lucilfer Kuro!!!"
Just as his pale face stood out conspicuously in the darkness, his name, too, was heard by Sakazuki in the ears of naval personnel around the world watching the live broadcast.
Upon hearing that name, Kuro felt dizzy and staggered to the side.
Just then, Kizaru suddenly reached out and grabbed Kuro's arm, pulling him forward to the center of the seats.
To onlookers, it looked as if, after Sakazuki finished speaking, the man named Lucilfer Kuro slowly walked to the front of the stage, facing the live broadcast and the Marines.
