Kuro quietly observed the refined middle-aged man. From the moment the door opened and his figure appeared, Kuro sensed that this man was quite powerful.
But it has always been hidden.
This person's strength is not just at the level of a colonel in headquarters, but that makes sense, given that his strength must have improved over the years.
ah?
Is there no environment in the world where one can grow stronger?
Then what about myself?
As for concealing one's strength, there's nothing wrong with infiltrating an undercover agent and hiding one's abilities.
“That’s O. Kadi,” Kuro, standing next to Kuro, reminded him.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Jinni, I am O. Kadi!" O. Kadi stood at attention and saluted again.
"Ah... tell me, what's going on with the Longsword Pirates? This pirate crew, which has stayed in the South Blue for over a hundred years, suddenly wants to break into the Grand Line?" Kuro asked.
"I don't know either, it was the captain's decision."
O. Kadi shook his head and said, "The captain made the decision, and the members elected the crew. The votes in favor exceeded the votes against, so we decided to go to the Grand Line. This is a tradition of the Longsword Pirates. Whenever there is an important matter that requires the entire crew to participate, we will definitely vote. I only contacted you because I heard this news."
Kuro nodded. "So, the Longsword Pirates' plan is really that they're all pirates?"
"Yes, they're all pirates!"
O. Kadi said, "The entire crew consists of 12,000 people, all of whom are pirates with blood on their hands. They are scattered across the 36 islands of the Star Islands, and each island is governed by an officer. I am one of them."
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"The Star Islands are shrouded in fog during the day, making it impossible to see the islands' terrain. They only become visible at night, but this affects the accuracy of artillery fire, making attacks impossible. During the day, we can't see anything at all, but the Longsword Pirates have specialized eye-detecting devices, like mine..."
He rummaged in his pocket for a moment and pulled out an eye-device that looked like a portable telescope. He said, "Only this can see clearly in the fog. If we want to wipe out the Longsword Pirates, Vice Admiral Golden Lion won't be able to do it without enough people. Those islands are distributed in a circle, and the innermost one in the center is where Captain Robert Henry is. If we don't wipe them all out, he'll run away. Once the 'hilt' runs away, it won't be difficult to rebuild the 'blade'."
You're talking like you're from the Water Margin!
Kuro rolled his eyes. "It's not that exaggerated. You just need to give me directions. I'll personally lead the attack at night, and then I'll go back on vacation."
"You mean personally?" O'Cardi didn't immediately understand and asked doubtfully, "Excuse my bluntness, Vice Admiral Jinni, even if you are very strong, it's probably impossible for the navy on board to quietly wipe out more than ten thousand people..."
"Hey, don't use your shallow understanding to guess Kuro's identity."
Lida, who was sitting on the sofa munching on snacks, said, "Kuro is very strong."
Kro adjusted his glasses, revealing a proud smile.
That's right, Mr. Kuro is very strong.
Kuro, puffing on his cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke with an air of nonchalance. "No problem. One against twelve thousand, the advantage is mine."
"this..."
Seeing Kuro's confident demeanor, O. Kadi could only smile and say, "Since the lieutenant general has made his decision, then so be it."
"Alright, step back. Change your clothes. After tonight, you don't need to be a pirate anymore. Of course, it's best if you don't use this name anymore. You can change it. After all, you've come back from undercover work. For safety reasons, changing your name is normal. You can't escape the credit for ten years of undercover work." Kuro waved his hand.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now."
O'Cardy saluted again, turned, and walked out of the office. As he exited, he paused, staring blankly down the corridor for a long while, before suddenly giving a disdainful laugh: "How arrogant..."
Then he walked down the corridor.
The Golden Lion continued its voyage, leaving the small island behind, but it didn't go far before stopping when the navy on the observation platform could vaguely see the white mist.
If we get any closer, we might be discovered by the people in the fog.
As the sun rose and set, and night fell, the stars and moon revealed themselves in the sky, and the fog gradually dissipated. Gradually, some white lights appeared on the dark sea, reflecting the stars in the sky. From a distance, it looked as if stars had appeared on the sea.
The Star Islands have made their appearance.
"Is that the Star Islands?"
At that moment, on the deck, Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, watched the gradually appearing specks of white light and spoke.
"Yes, that is... Star Islands."
O'Cardi pushed up the temple of his glasses with his fingers and said casually.
"That's fine, move over there."
Kuro gave the order, and the massive Golden Lion set sail forward.
Steamships are naturally faster than sailing ships, not to mention the technology of the Golden Lion and Vegapunk's design. This ship is not slow at all, and it can even launch laser-powered ramming attacks when necessary.
Seeing the Golden Lion approaching rapidly, O. Kadi said urgently, "Vice Admiral Golden Lion, are you sure you don't want to reconsider? This ship is such an obvious target. Rushing in will definitely get us discovered and only alert the pirates!"
"rest assured..."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and glanced over there. "Speaking of which, why didn't you change your clothes? You're just wearing a cloak."
