A strong person!
An absolute powerhouse!
Taylor had a thought pop into his head: he had always believed that Boss Rudolph was the strongest.
However, when Taylor saw the person in the sky, even though he didn't reveal any of his abilities, he immediately sensed that this was an extremely powerful expert.
It was something he couldn't handle, and perhaps even Rudolf couldn't handle!
The person above gently landed on the ground and smoothed their hair.
"Golden Lion..."
Rudolph forced a smile, walked over with a stiff back, and bowed deeply, striking a polite pose. "Please forgive him, Taylor is still young and often says things without thinking."
The person who arrived was none other than Kuro. He flew here at full speed, fearing that Blackbeard would arrive even faster than him.
But as soon as I arrived, I heard arguing below.
Kuro glanced at him, said nothing, and instead waved to the base commander beside him.
"Lieutenant General." The base commander walked over.
"What's going on?" Kuro asked. "Why won't they let them in?"
"That's right. Although these people are injured, they are still unknown individuals. Although we captured a vicious fugitive, they are pirates. Our navy is only allowing them to receive treatment on the spot because they captured Pizarro," the base commander said.
Did you hear that?
Kuro looked down at Rudolph, who had his head bowed, then glanced at the other two fish-men, before finally fixing his gaze on Taylor, who was lying on the ground. "That's the reason. Is it enough? If not, I'll add more."
He took out a cigar, lit it, and exhaled a cloud of smoke. The smoke seemed to come alive, rushing towards Taylor's head, completely enveloping his head and entering his mouth and nose.
"Cough, cough cough cough!!"
Taylor coughed desperately, but he couldn't get rid of the smoke, even covering his mouth and nose.
He could have forced it open, but seeing Kuro's intrigued eyes, he suddenly became afraid and could only desperately choke himself, trying to get rid of the smoke.
Seeing that Taylor's face was turning red and purple, Kuro waved his hand to clear away the smoke.
"Watch your words next time. I don't care who you are or what your status is, you should at least show some respect to the Navy."
After saying this, he stopped looking at Taylor and stared at Rudolf. "And you, get rid of that fake smile. I've seen too many of those smiles. Be happy when you should be happy, be angry when you should be angry. What's the point of wearing that fake face? It only makes people look down on you, even if you're quite capable."
Rudolf looked up, his ever-present smile gradually freezing, and the corners of his lips turning down.
Kuro sneered before looking at the giant man bound by chains.
"Long time no see, Pizarro. I really didn't expect that you guys would still be alive after I sank you to the bottom of the sea last time. You're lucky."
"Hahaha, meow! Kuro! You've been making quite a splash lately, meow!" Pizarro was still laughing, but his smile was no longer as arrogant and carefree as before.
This man is not someone that ordinary people can compare to.
Although he lost to Rudolph, he still didn't feel anything for Rudolph. Just as Kuro said, this seemingly fake person was nothing special, no matter how powerful he was.
But Kuro is different.
This is a hero of the sea, a terrifyingly strong man.
This man had made a deep impression on them from the beginning.
If they hadn't been lucky, they might not have survived the sea.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that your Blackbeard Pirates would fall into my hands. Weren't you lying in wait?" Kuro said slowly, biting his cigar.
It's quite strange that Rudolph managed to catch a lone individual. Logically, if that bastard Teach were to make a move, he should have done it all together. Instead, the captain of an entire ship was captured. What's going on here?
Are they splitting up or do they each have their own agendas?
Pizarro was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, gave Kuro a strange look, bared his teeth to reveal a gap in his jaw, and chuckled wickedly, "You don't know, meow?"
“What do I know?” Kuro asked.
"Hahaha, meow, you don't even know meow."
Pizarro looked at Kuro in astonishment, as if he had discovered something new. "You're a high-ranking officer in the Navy, and you didn't even know that? That's amazing, meow."
Kuro's face darkened as he gripped the hilt of his sword. "Would you like to taste something you haven't had in a long time, Pizarro?"
"Hahaha, meow, don't be so angry, Kuro. How about we talk?"
Pizarro's eyes darted around. "I'll tell you something you don't know, and you'll let me go. After all, if you capture me, you'll be going to war with Admiral Teach, and the Navy isn't ready for that, is it?"
"You're using information that I can easily find out as a bargaining chip?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow. "What, have you gone mad from serving under a Yonko in the New World? Besides, the Navy is always prepared; they never do anything unprepared. My arrival is a signal. And do you think that bastard Teach would come to save you? What price would he pay to save you? You've been with him for so long, don't you know?"
These words made Pizarro break out in a cold sweat.
"Besides, are you sure he can save you? You're now in my hands. I'm different from other people, you should know that. I don't care what secrets you have, and I don't care what the higher-ups think of you."
Kuro patted the scabbard. "If things go beyond my expectations, I'll just kill you. Pizarro, you'd better not try anything funny. Accepting your fate is your only way out."
Pizarro knew this, which is why he wanted to make a deal with Kuro.
This man was different from the other navy men; he rarely left any survivors.
If he falls into his hands, he might not even qualify to enter Impel Down.
But Kuro was just saying it; he had no idea whether that idiot Teach would come to his rescue. Teach was very patient and a gambler.
Brother Yixiao's bets are limited to certain matters, but Teach's bets are the kind that involve risking one's life.
This made it impossible for Kuro to figure out his strategy.
Kuro wouldn't underestimate someone like that.
From the moment Pizarro was captured, Kuro had to be fully prepared.
This person cannot die now. Kuro called for the old man and Issho, so this person definitely cannot die now.
But whether he lived or died was no longer important from the moment he was captured. What that bastard Teach cared about wasn't the person, but the impact behind it.
If it's in his interest, he might actually fight for it.
Regardless, preparations should be made.
Kuro chuckled, puffing on his cigar, "Be thankful, Pizarro. The escort for you is top-notch. I've brought my old man here, the newly promoted Admiral Fujitora is here too, plus a number of lieutenant generals... Pizarro, this should be the most significant moment of your life."
With the old man Kato Tora and two generals here, no matter who the enemy is, it means we're safe.
