In Kuro's view, the selection of Shichibukai by the World Government throughout history was simply a crazy operation.
Ace aside, whether he would agree is another matter, but it was Sengoku who facilitated this at the time.
To save Garp's face, Ace was given this opportunity.
But the fact that the World Government once invited Charlotte Linlin's son is quite puzzling.
What's on your mind?
Expecting someone else's son to rebel?
It's likely that the intelligence was directly provided to them.
Fortunately, they didn't agree. If they had, the World Government would be riddled with holes, just like a sieve, even though it's already pretty much a sieve now.
As for someone like Edward Weevil, he directly caused Zephyr's rebellion, and his actions were completely incomprehensible to Kuro.
What's this?
Protect my enemies and strike my allies?
Now that this power is in his hands, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the seven shipping routes and to reduce the workload for the navy and himself, the candidate must be carefully selected.
“If we leave two empty for too long, the higher-ups will have something to say,” Kizaru said.
"If they have opinions, they have opinions. Maybe they can bring this up again at the World Conference four years from now."
Kuro said nonchalantly, "I'd rather leave two spots empty. After all, there are always people on the sea who want the position of Shichibukai. So, those who can demonstrate their bravery and character and whose presence I can hear will naturally be considered for the position."
He's so lazy and so unambitious, the fact that his name is even known means he's quite famous, so he automatically becomes a candidate.
However, Kuro himself doesn't have a good impression of newcomers. Newcomers are full of uncertainty and lack truly powerful ones.
Not everyone is a coward like Sam Williams...
etc...
William?
Kuro stroked his chin and pondered.
This person... seems alright.
He's quite strong, and his behavior doesn't exceed my tolerance limits. He's also a natural type, so he's naturally positioned as someone who can handle anything.
but...
Not yet!
He hasn't suffered yet!
He's probably already entered the Grand Line, but there's no rush. His bounty hasn't increased yet, and he hasn't suffered much. If nothing major happens to him when his bounty is higher, then we can consider it.
"That's fine, no big problem."
Kuro waved his hand, puffed on his cigar, and changed the subject, saying instead, "Speaking of which, old man, why did you go to Wano Country just to see what was going on with those two? Whatever the situation, it has nothing to do with our Navy, right?"
"Well, we should at least go and take a look. Sakazuki said there's an unknown force in Wano Country, namely samurai. But it seems these people can't possibly resist Kaido. That's one more piece of information, and..."
Kizaru chuckled and said, "It seems I can see the people up there."
above?
World Government?
Kuro narrowed his eyes and smiled: "That's normal."
The strange thing is that they're not here.
Although Kaido is a pirate, the territory he occupies is different. Wano Country is a major producer of Seastone and weapons, and the World Government needs to order weapons from them.
With so many weapon factories, does Rabbit Island use them all for its own purposes and sell them to other countries and pirates?
Big Head is the World Government.
Everyone in the Navy's high command knew something about this, since Doflamingo had been the middleman in the past.
Big Mom's intelligence and Kaido's weapons were all circulated through him as an intermediary.
It was true that he held the reins to the New World's rampage.
Without him as an intermediary, the World Government would theoretically be unable to directly trade with pirates.
But looking at it now...
"CP (couple)?"
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and said impatiently, "What's going on? This is utterly shameless."
The World Government's face is the Navy, and its hands and feet are the CP organization. They are the ones who do many of the inconvenient things.
However, Kuro had never heard of anyone directly approaching Wano Country to make a deal.
But it has nothing to do with them; they are not part of the same system. At least the World Government wouldn't be so insane as to let the Navy do such a thing.
Besides, this is a meeting between Marshal Sakazuki and the old man with the World Government, and has nothing to do with him, a vice admiral.
"Well, Straw Hat Luffy and Kid are over there, and it seems there's also information about Law being in Wano Country. These three should be able to cause them some trouble," Kizaru said with a chuckle.
"It's impossible in the short term."
Kuro shook his head and said, "But it's hard to say in the long run. Small people also have their uses. They may not be able to accomplish anything, but they can definitely ruin things. Let them make a fuss. Whether it's good or bad, it's all the pirates' business."
What does the business of pirates have to do with the Navy?
Although Kuro didn't think these Worst Generation members could defeat Kaido and Linlin, it was the pirates' business regardless of which side was defeated.
"Ah...it's just a bit of a headache for Drake. I was planning to bring him back," Kizaru said with a smile.
"Drake?"
Kuro paused for a moment, then remembered the name. "X Drake? Akahata? What happened to him?"
Isn't this guy a pirate?
Although he was once a rear admiral in the navy, he fell into depravity and went to sea to become a pirate.
If he hadn't taken the position, his military rank would have been higher than Kuro's back then. And after the Marineford War, if Sakazuki had taken power, he would definitely have been a lieutenant general.
Relying on the fruits of ancient species, they are probably no less capable than veteran lieutenant generals.
"He's an undercover agent," Kizaru said with a grin.
These words made Kuro's eyes widen. "Traitor? No way, when did that happen?"
"He's been an undercover agent since he started out as a pirate. He was originally a spy who infiltrated the pirate ranks to provide intelligence, but because he met Kaido, he joined Kaido's crew. Well, that's much faster than going it alone."
Kizaru said, "He is the captain of the Navy's secret unit 'Sword.' Besides him, there are some other Navy personnel who are pirates in the New World."
This operation...
That's amazing!
Kuro now understood that no matter how powerful the Navy and CP's intelligence capabilities were, they still needed people to provide intelligence.
Where does this intelligence come from, especially the intelligence about the latter half of the New World? Besides their eavesdropping via Den Den Mushi, much of the information comes from these people.
“Wait a minute, he was a traitor a long time ago... So he was a traitor in Sabaody too? He was quite the actor, I almost killed him.” Kuro recalled the past and said.
"Oh~ Is it that scary?" Kizaru said with a smile.
“It’s all in the past, it doesn’t matter anymore. But is it really a good idea to leave him there? The situation is a bit unusual now, so let him find a chance to come back,” Kuro said.
"That depends on whether he's willing or not. We respect his wishes," Kizaru said.
