Rob Lucci.
Claimed to be the strongest member of CP9 in eight hundred years.
To be honest, Kuro doesn't understand this kind of address.
It's not like the entire CP intelligence agency, but just a branch.
This feeling is similar to the feeling of "I am the only person in our class who has been able to maintain the top spot in the class for decades".
Then, looking around, the school was ranked 146th.
You can't even see anyone in the city's rankings.
Of course, describing Rob Lucci like that is a bit inaccurate; he is indeed quite strong.
"Long time no see, Vice Admiral Kuro."
There was something complicated in Lucci's eyes.
Who would have thought that the junior marine I met once on Enies Lobby would possess such power?
His talents were first revealed during the Marineford War, and his victories continued to soar, making him a mainstay of the Navy.
In Lucci's eyes, he was already a top-tier powerhouse.
“Lucci…you’re doing pretty well, going from CP9 to CP0. I remember you used to be wanted by the authorities,” Kuro said.
"There are various reasons, and there's no need to know the specific details."
Lucci shifted his gaze from Kuro to Doflamingo. "Then, as ordered, we will assist in matters concerning Doflamingo and the Dressrosa incident."
"Now?" Kuro frowned. "Isn't it too early? I don't know anything about it."
"That's what we at CP0 do."
Lucci said, "We will provide the intelligence so you can make a decision."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be this complicated."
Suddenly, one of the three masked men, wearing a white hat and a mask with two empty holes—one black and one white—said:
"We have two plans for you to follow. First, release Doflamingo and we will arrest the Dold royal family so that Doflamingo can return to power and eliminate all unstable factors, including those neighboring royal families who support him. We will carry out their assassinations or arrests."
“Doing this will help maintain the balance of the sea, since this guy seems to have deals with many dangerous forces on the sea based on intelligence.”
Kuro chuckled and scoffed, "Does CP even use the word 'seems'? Be confident, drop the 'seems,' you guys know best what's going on with him."
"Do you know a lot, Jinni? No, Lucilfer Kuro."
The man in the black and white pupil mask glanced at Kuro and said meaningfully, "Sometimes, it's better for people to know less."
Kuro smiled noncommittally, shook his head, and said, "Pass, I've changed my mind. This guy..."
He looked at Doflamingo and said, "It's better to lock him up. The plan you're proposing is too volatile."
"Hey, Kuro!" Doflamingo snarled, "You really won't let me go? This is your last chance. If I fall, you... you'll definitely regret it!"
"Come on, don't give me that."
Kuro said calmly, "'If' doesn't exist. Only the present is reality. If you lose, you lose. Don't say such shameful things anymore."
Doflamingo paused for a moment, then laughed: "Furfurfur, I really can't do anything with you..."
Kuro glanced back; the reason he refused was that the cost was too high.
These CCP agencies are anything but gentle in their actions; they readily resort to violence to suppress violence.
If Doflamingo were to be reinstated, the first thing to address would be the Den Den Mushi news that these kings had previously broadcast to neighboring countries. The CP organization could certainly handle this, but as they said, forcibly suppressing it would maintain a balance.
But this balance was established on the suffering of their own people.
Arrest the royal family, eliminate all those in the know, and then maintain a balance with the pirates, who are the 'enemies,' while there's still the possibility that Morgans, that idiot, will report it.
In the end, it will only damage their own prestige.
As the saying goes, I am obsequious to foreign powers, but I strike hard against domestic ones.
Are you kidding me?
Kuro wouldn't do something that would do more harm than good.
"Let's try a different approach," Kuro said.
"So...."
The mask with black and white pupils took a step forward, and with a 'whoosh,' its body disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Doflamingo, and thrust a finger straight at his temple.
*Smack*
A hand grabbed his wrist.
Kuro suddenly appeared beside him, gripping his hand tightly, and said in a grim tone, "What are you going to do?"
"Please don't stop me, Lieutenant General Jinni."
The man with the black and white pupil mask said coldly, "Another option is to kill Doflamingo. If we get rid of him, all the factors causing turmoil will disappear."
"Are you kidding me?!"
Kuro bared his teeth, and with a jerk of his arm, knocked the black-and-white masked man's hand away, then kicked him in the stomach.
Bang!
With a single kick, the man flew off the ground and soared into the distance.
However, just as he was about to fly out of the tent, Lucci suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, stopping him.
The man in black and white masks clutched his stomach, and it took him a long time to speak, "Hey, Golden Lion! This is our mission, are you going to defy the World Government?!"
"I personally said I'd guard him! If he dies in front of me, where will I put my face? Huh?!"
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, raised his head, releasing a murderous aura that caused the tent to flap loudly.
The air felt much colder.
The moment Kuro unleashed his killing intent, the three masked men all caught their breath and assumed a defensive stance.
"I already said, it's impossible to kill someone in front of him."
Lucci seemed unaffected by the murderous aura, and said calmly, "Please relax, Vice Admiral Kuro. Taking down Doflamingo is also one of our plans. Since you object, then let's forget about it."
"You think you can just let it go like that? Who do you think you are?!"
Kuro raised an eyebrow and said, "The Navy and the CP are equal organizations. Are we subordinate to the CP? Watch your words, Rob Lucci. Your intelligence is so good, you should know that I don't like you. Don't do anything that will offend me."
"Furthermore, you're supposed to be assisting me? If you don't understand the meaning of 'assist,' I can find you a school to retrain you. I'll make the decisions here. As for jurisdiction, it belongs to Brother Yixiao. You have neither decision-making power nor jurisdiction, understand? You rats in the gutter!"
The man in the black and white pupil mask snapped, "You! Watch your mouth!"
"What? You want to sue me if you're not happy?"
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke. "If you can't sue me, then I'll just do as I'm told. Now do as I say. Go and give me the information on the nobles of Dressrosa. I want to choose who can be the new king of Dressrosa!"
