After having dinner in Baratie, Kuro returned to Shells Town for a few days before heading to the West Blue. This time, he skipped the Grand Line and went directly to the Red Line in the East Blue. With a single leap using his ability, he would reach the West Blue.
His destination this time was Pegasus Island, where he planned to play, no, to rest and recuperate for a while.
He still remembered the fact that his injuries hadn't healed and planned to continue pretending.
Pegasus Island is no longer under the control of its own faction, and the naval captain in charge is unknown. He seems to be a subordinate of Brother Stroberry, which is about right, since they are all from the old man's lineage, so there is no difference.
It doesn't matter if he's not from the old man's lineage, it doesn't matter who's in charge, Kuro is confident that no one in the Navy would dare to disrespect him.
The property originally belonged to him; he was the largest landowner and capitalist on Pegasus Island, the kind of person who would be the first to be hung on a street lamp if a rebellion broke out.
The disappearance of Gran Tezzo has diverted some tourists from Pegasus Island, leading to a more prosperous industry. Kuro has also started advertising a comprehensive tourism package in Dressrosa.
However, this group of tourists will not be diverted from Kuro's advertising, thus reducing Kuro's revenue. The profits will remain with Kuro, as they will go to the all-inclusive tour after visiting Pegasus Island. Moreover, the industries on Pegasus Island and the all-inclusive tour are different, so there will be no comparison.
In short, it doesn't matter if the meat rots in the pot.
Moreover, since the Kingdom of Two Horses was conquered by Lowe, the people there were able to trade with Pegasus Island, which greatly boosted Pegasus Island's prosperity.
The Golden Lion slowly docked at the port of Pegasus Island. To greet them, besides the local naval captain who had been notified, there was another person.
Dressed in traditional black attire, Lowe leaned against a pillar at the harbor. As he watched Kuro descend, his face fell, and he gave him a disdainful look. However, when he saw Lida behind him, his expression brightened. But as he moved, Lida was obscured by Kuro, causing him to see Kuro again, and his face fell once more.
Kuro: "..."
You're such a mood freak!
"What are you doing here?" Kuro asked.
“Big brother,” Lida said at this moment.
"Um!"
Lowe nodded to Lida, then coldly said to Kuro, "This is a property built with my money, and it's very close to my territory. I'm here to see if there's a problem."
"No, but I'm curious, how did you conquer the Twin Horse Kingdom? Did they offend you?" Kuro asked.
"You know perfectly well why I'm asking!"
Lowe snorted coldly, but after glancing at the surrounding navy, he didn't say anything more.
"Lieutenant General."
At that moment, the naval captain stood at attention, saluted, and shouted, "Welcome to Pegasus Island!"
Kuro nodded: "Make sure the marines are settled in. Don't prepare a room for me. I'll choose one of the many properties on Pegasus Island."
"Yes, sir!" the naval captain shouted.
"Kro, take the men over there," Kuro ordered.
Kro adjusted his glasses, beckoned the sailors on board to disembark, and gradually headed towards the naval base on Pegasus Island.
"I'm going to go shopping now."
Moore couldn't wait any longer and vanished in a flash of white light.
The entertainment industry... Moore is someone who hates gambling and drugs, so we must investigate.
"Kuro, big brother, I'm going to go find something to eat!"
Lida waved her hand and excitedly pulled Kikyo and Fanny toward the center of Pegasus Island.
Lowe watched Rita's retreating figure until she was far away. Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Kuro's collar tightly, arrogantly saying, "Did you hear that! Did you hear that! Rita called me 'big brother,' twice! That means she considers me her big brother. You perverted white-haired lolicon, watch out, you hear?!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you need to provide evidence before you speak. Who's the lolicon? Lolicons would have left the Navy long ago to become pirates."
Kuro slapped Lowe's hand away, "What nonsense are you spouting all by yourself, you two-faced, siscon?"
Kuzan is the real lolicon. He's been following her since she was eight, through twenty-eight, and now. He's not just a lolicon, he's a lolicon who raises young girls.
"So you don't deny that you're a pervert and like white hair?" Lowe squinted at him suspiciously.
I'll kill you!
Kuro snapped, "Are you looking for trouble?!"
"You're the one who did something amazing, and you didn't even say a word. If Lida hadn't been staying with you for so long, I would have taken her and left already!" Lowe said through gritted teeth.
"Uh...you knew?" Kuro was taken aback.
Does this guy know about the G-3 battle? Or is he referring to the battle in Wano Country?
That makes sense; after all, it's such a large place, he, as the king, would certainly know about it.
Both of these matches were very dangerous, even for Kuro, let alone for Lida.
"Of course I know!" Lowe said fiercely, "What exactly are you trying to do, Kuro? Have you been thinking about this all along?!"
They were plotting a rebellion, and had been planning it for a long time, starting from the East China Sea.
This guy spent ten years in the East Blue, nurturing Cass and gaining immense prestige there. He already had enough influence in the East Blue, and he's also built up a considerable following in the West Blue. Cass was ordered by him to wipe out many pirates in the West Blue.
In the North Sea, they also gained the Vinsmoke clones as their base. Those people are the most simple-minded; they can be instilled with anything and will surely be turned into iron will.
On the other side of the Grand Line, it's even more incredible; Dressrosa is completely his now.
Each step was like dancing on a knife's edge!
"Ah...no, I didn't want to either, but there was no other way, things had come to this."
Kuro shrugged.
He didn't want to go to war with Teach either, but what could he do if Teach didn't have any sense of martial ethics?
He was even more obsessed with Wano Country; the old man was injured, and he had to go there.
"You bastard..."
Upon hearing this, Lowe took a deep breath. "Can't you slow down a bit? I think you're moving too fast. I'm not ready yet. At least wait until I defeat the Flower Kingdom and retake it."
"Huh? You're going to war with the Flower Country again? Never mind, you came from there after all. But what does a war between your member states have to do with me?" Kuro asked, puzzled.
"you..."
Lowe twitched his lips, but then thought of something, "Fine, this is fine too. You just 'know' nothing. As a Marine, you really don't need to know anything."
He's just a navy officer right now, and his secrets haven't been exposed yet. If he himself is pretending not to know, then Lowe doesn't need to ask.
Just follow his plan.
There was no way to turn back now. Ever since the Dressrosa meeting, he had taken the initiative to kill the disobedient Old K of the Twin Horse Kingdom.
No, there was no turning back from the very beginning.
His sister is with Kuro, so whether he likes it or not, Lowe has to do it.
