"Hey, Kuro, Bogart isn't weak, right? Why didn't you let him come along?"
As the Golden Lion sailed away, Lida asked Kuro curiously on the deck.
As Kuro walked toward his office, he said, "He screwed me over and now he wants to salvage his honor? This guy was with that old man Garp when he captured Roger. Now he's so lax. It's good to teach him a lesson so he won't become too dissolute after staying with Garp for too long."
In Kuro's eyes, Bogart's move was completely wrong.
They went to an island inhabited by pirates, yet failed to maintain vigilance immediately, allowing a Devil Fruit user to succeed in attacking them.
This is a new world!
If you're not careful, the consequences will be very bad!
"After all this talk, I think I understand now. That ability is something that makes people lose their fighting spirit and only want to be complacent. I just don't know what that ability is."
Kuro walked back to his office, sat in his personal chair, lit a cigar, and said, "Lida, be careful when you go over there. If you get hit, it will be difficult to save you in a short time."
Fortunately, he has Cassius, a powerful weapon.
He wouldn't have let Lida and the others come with him if he didn't have this thing.
"Huh? Aren't you the one who hates Cass the most?" Lida sat on the sofa, opened her snack bag, and looked up to ask.
"What are you talking about? How am I annoyed by Cass? He's my subordinate, do you know that?" Kuro glared at Lida.
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and called out, "Kro, Kro!"
Soon, Chloe appeared in the office.
"Mr. Kuro?"
"Tell Cass to be careful. There's something wrong with that island. Don't let him fall victim to an ability user's power."
If Cass gets infected, then it's all over; his idea of bringing the Navy back will probably be gone.
"Huh? What would happen if Cass got hit? Would he lose his fighting spirit too?" Lida asked.
"How would I know? But don't underestimate Devil Fruit users. You are a Devil Fruit user yourself. If you have time, you could drain even the Four Emperors of their stamina."
Ability is a miracle, and miracles cannot be solved by human effort; they can only be restrained and countered by ability.
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "If Cass is unfortunately caught in the trap, then you take Cass to the ship, and I will handle the rest myself."
In that case, the safest way would be to fly up into the sky, use Observation Haki to lock onto all suspicious individuals, and then send down swords from the sky to kill them first.
This is the safest method.
However, there is one problem: Kuro is not familiar with Grand Harbor and does not know what the atmosphere inside is like. If he accidentally hurts someone, it would be bad.
In the new world, there are many powerful individuals. If you happen to encounter one who lives in seclusion there and is content to farm, that wouldn't be fun.
The safest method would be for Cass to lead a group of people in a mass 'brainwashing' session, then there wouldn't be any problems.
This thing can even brainwash clones, so it's incredibly effective at dealing with mental abilities.
"If I had known, I would have let Garp clean up the mess himself first, and then it would have been much better if I had come."
Kuro clicked his tongue. "That old man is quite good at avoiding trouble. Nothing happened to him at G-3, but problems arise as soon as I arrive at G-3. What's going on? That stinky old man left me with such a huge mess and then went off to enjoy his retirement."
Retirement life is good, retirement life is wonderful, retirement life includes a minimum living allowance, retirement life is fantastic.
He wished that Ain would reverse his ability, making him age instantly so he could retire, and then Ain could remove his ability after he retired.
"Seriously, I've taken on this mess, but who's going to take it from me?" Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, grumbling like a complaining woman.
"Hey, Kuro, if you find this too troublesome, just hand it over to the World Government and let them decide the ownership of G-3 again."
Lida made a surprising statement.
"Um?"
Kuro was stunned for a moment, as if he were seeing Lida for the first time. "How could you come up with such a plan? Who taught you? Tell me, and I'll go and kill that person."
"What? Isn't this something you do all the time?"
Lida rolled her eyes. "In your words, it's... well, shifting the blame, right, Chloe?"
Kuro instinctively wanted to nod, but meeting Kuro's gaze, he ultimately didn't nod. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Thank you, Miss Lida!
You've finally spoken a fair word!
For countless days and nights, he lived in constant fear, terrified that those fame-seeking lunatics would come and get rid of him.
Although the storm has passed and he's taken the blame less often now, the memory still chills him to the bone.
But upon closer examination, what Lida said doesn't seem to be wrong.
After all, he also knew a little about it. The ownership of G-3 Fortress was due to Mr. Kuro's own combat strength, but it was also the consent of the entire Navy that led the World Government to agree.
If it's handed back to the World Government, then Mr. Kuro won't be involved anymore.
"World Government?! What's the use of a World Government? Are you expecting those five old men to just stand there and make decisions?"
Kuro leaned back and said, "Lida, let me ask you, do you know which kingdom Shells Town belongs to?"
"Emmmm..."
"The answer is no, that's a naval base, it's ours. Next, do you know who the current king of the Goa Kingdom is?"
"Emmmm, where is the Goa Kingdom?"
“Excellent answer. Next, what is the name of the King of Alabasta? Haven’t you been there before?”
"I don't know, I only know that the cactus there tastes terrible."
"Okay, next one. Do you know who the former king of Dressrosa was?"
Lida thought about it for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Doflamingo's father?"
“Goodness, Lida, you should work for the World Government.”
Kuro rolled his eyes and shrugged, saying, "This is the World Government. It's completely useless, just a bunch of stupid idiots who only know how to give orders blindly."
Hand it over to the world government?
That's even more fucking ridiculous than handing it over to the Four Emperors.
At least the Four Emperors are relatively stable for now.
But if the navy is removed and the World Government is left to appoint people arbitrarily, those five old men could easily lose their minds, and the base commander could be in office today and G-3 could be finished tomorrow.
Look at what kind of crazy tricks they've pulled.
Let's not dwell on the past.
That time at the top, even though they could still fight, the higher-ups insisted that Sengoku stop.
Although Kuro didn't really want to fight, things had gotten to that point, and it was already in the late stages of a fierce battle. It would be unreasonable to stop now.
Kuro harbors extreme dislike for the World Government, but the World Government is the World Government, and the Navy is the Navy. In Kuro's eyes, although there are connections, in reality...
It's none of his business.
If G-3 is to be handed back to the World Government, he might as well take matters into his own hands; at least that would ensure his vision is protected and there is some peace.
