Two billion...
Upon hearing the bounty, Kuro paused for a moment.
Then...
He activated the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and dialed headquarters.
Are you kidding me!
Two billion sixty million!
That idiot Teach only has 2.2 billion!
Bounties of this level are really troublesome.
Let's call for backup first.
No matter how many times I try to make a call to the Den Den Mushi, it won't go through; it's like there's no signal around.
However, only seawater can temporarily deflate a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and render it ineffective.
Besides that, there's only...
"Ability?"
Kuro closed the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and looked at the five people.
He turned to Moore and said, "Moore, bring Cass and the others over. The Golden Lion still needs someone to command it."
"I'm completely exhausted..."
Moore smiled wryly, "It's really over. I ran out of energy halfway through."
Moore played a significant role in enabling the Golden Lion to arrive so quickly. Within the limits of his abilities, he scattered his beacon onto the rock that Kuro was floating in the air, and then frantically used his powers.
However, even though the entire ship, including the people on board, could be teleported over, his stamina was rapidly depleting.
He ran out of energy when he reached one-third of the distance, after all, the quantity and quality were too great.
In the end, it was only thanks to Lida absorbing the stamina of many marines that Moore was able to continue with the remaining third, but even so, it was not enough.
The navy also needs to conserve its strength.
In the final stretch, it was Kuro who single-handedly launched the Golden Lion into the air and charged forward at top speed, barely managing to reach their destination.
"You're not good enough. How can a man say he's not good enough? Never mind... we'll talk about it after this is over." Kuro chewed on his cigar and turned back to look at the five warships.
Moore is very strong. In Kuro's eyes, Moore's strength is probably comparable to Lida's.
After all, the current Lida is different from the little girl two years ago who hadn't even fully developed her Devil Fruit powers. Under his tutelage, Lida's strength has increased rapidly.
First of all, there's her natural talent for learning any kind of physical skill. While following him, she learned all kinds of physical skills, whether from the Navy or pirates.
The continuous nutritional supplements also caused her physical condition to improve rapidly.
Honestly, even when Kuro was hungry, he never let her go hungry.
In this world, being well-fed is also a form of power.
Especially considering Lida's enormous appetite and the effects of her Devil Fruit powers.
Furthermore, with the increasing development of her Devil Fruit abilities, in Clow's eyes, Lida can now easily deal with a series of Vice Admirals, and even those old-school elite Vice Admirals would not be her match.
She's mastered her Devil Fruit powers to the point where she can casually unleash shockwaves, just like a Saiyan. Sometimes, Kuro would feel a pang of envy watching her.
Go for it...
He wanted to as well.
Moore's strength is not much different from Lida's.
His mastery of Haki is profound, and coupled with the uniqueness of his Devil Fruit ability, it's hard to say who would win if they actually fought.
Of the so-called 'seven sins' we encountered last time, in terms of sheer threat, that so-called angel might not be as threatening as Moore.
The only downside is that this man is too lazy, just as lazy as Kuro himself.
However, this time, he did a good job.
This Devil Fruit ability is really very convenient.
"Golden Lion?"
Among the five warships, Arms chuckled, "You must be Jin Ni. I've seen your picture. I heard you defeated Shiki, Redfield, Bundy Wilder, and that old guy Luo Shen? Really? I don't believe it."
Bessie scoffed, "We've known about the Navy's ways for a long time. They love propaganda and boasting. They've got quite the nerve. Do they want to create a new 'hero' like Garp?"
"Hmph, the nemesis of the old era..."
Mogas grinned maliciously: "We're from the old era, right? Can you really defeat us? This time, we've come to find you."
"Nemesis of the old era? What nemesis of the old era?"
Kuro was taken aback and looked at Chloe. "When did I get this title?"
"that..."
Kro's forehead was covered in sweat. "It's been there for a while. When you were last nominated for admiral, the navy published it in the newspapers."
"ah?"
Kuro's eyes widened. "How come I didn't know?"
“Um… Mr. Kuro, I showed you the newspaper before, but you weren’t interested at the time,” Kuro said.
How could I let you know?
Do you want me to let you know I'm not going to get beaten up?
Kro pursed his lips, not daring to say anything.
Mr. Kuro's expression was extremely unpleasant back then, even worse than it is now.
If he were to provoke him any further, Kro felt that his fate would not be good.
"..."
Kuro was silent for a moment, as if there was indeed such a thing...
It seems that it was Kro who reported all the news at that time. After all, he didn't want to do anything during that period because he had been promoted and was almost at the top of his career, so he was feeling depressed.
Therefore, a lot of documents and materials have been accumulated.
I think I've seen that newspaper before, but I didn't read it all. In the end, I had Chloe pick out the important news and tell him about it.
After all, in his eyes, as long as he wasn't famous, nothing else mattered.
You son of a bitch!
I'm already in this state, why won't the higher-ups let me go?
What kind of nemesis of the old era?!
