Before the fleet even reached the port, a golden light flashed from the warship, transforming into a beam of light that instantly shot straight towards Kuro.
The beam of light took shape and transformed into a tall man.
The man, hands in his pockets, dressed in a yellow suit with a cape, leered at Kuro and said, "Oh~ Kuro, are you alright?"
"Kizaru?!"
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Dick's eyes widened.
That's right, that man is Admiral Kizaru, the Navy's top combat force!
How did he end up here?!
Is Lucilfer Kuro really worth sending a general to personally come here?!
"Oh, old man, I have a very important matter to attend to."
Kuro rolled his eyes. "The injury hasn't healed yet."
"It seems he suffered a rather serious injury."
Kizaru glanced at Kuro, nodded, and said with a gentle smile, "It's alright, I've come to pick you up."
As he spoke, he glanced at the somewhat bewildered citizens, "Oh~ this is... quite a grand display, it doesn't quite match the rumors about the Kingdom of Krein, how terrifying."
Ah... times are always changing.
Kuro glanced back and said meaningfully.
Soon, the warship docked, and Kuro didn't waste any time, boarding the ship directly.
The country has visibly changed, so there's no point in staying. The palace is full of treasures, enough for these people to find a way to buy everything they want.
Whether it's rebuilding the kingdom or buying a large number of weapons.
With that Conqueror's Haki, the rest is no longer a problem.
Having received Kuro, the warship's mission was complete. With a call from Storoberry to return, the large fleet set sail and departed from Crein Island.
"Everyone be careful, this is a spiral sea area, watch your course and don't get caught in the eddies."
On the warship, Storoberry used a Den Den Mushi to issue orders to the other warships, and then looked at Kuro, who was surrounded by people on the deck like a star.
"Kuro, are you alright?" Lida, who was closest to Kuro, asked, bouncing around.
"Why would I call you here if there's nothing wrong? Hurry up and drain my energy to heal me, I'm in so much pain."
Kuro rolled his eyes and casually lay down on a recliner that a Marine had brought over, ordering, "Kuro, get me some cigars. These hastily made cigars are really hard to smoke. Also, Lida, go tell Kikyo to go to the kitchen and ask her to make me something to eat."
Because of Kikyo's misheard lyrics, Kuro doesn't talk to her anymore; he gets Rita to do the talking for him.
"Yes, I understand."
Kro adjusted his glasses and turned to go to the ship's office.
As Kuro's adjutant and butler, he usually carried whatever Kuro wanted, including cigars.
After Lida and Kikyo finished talking, Kikyo nodded and went to the kitchen.
After Lida finished speaking, she pressed down on Kuro with one hand, "Absorb the essence!"
Instantly, Kuro felt his energy and spirit draining away.
"Stop, stop, stop. I only want you to absorb my stamina, nothing else. I know you've gotten a lot stronger lately," Kuro said.
This attraction is no longer limited to physical strength; one must know that spirit and mental fortitude are also very important to a person.
"Oh," Lida responded, changing her approach to only absorb physical energy.
Her fruits are also gradually being developed.
Now, once she touches someone, it's not as simple as just absorbing their energy.
This ability was already evident when he was at the top back then.
A year has passed, and now, in terms of absorption power, once someone comes into contact with Lida, they can't even use their domineering aura.
"Energy feedback!"
After absorbing all the energy, Lida's arm jerked, and Kuro's energy was transformed into healing power and returned to her.
Kuro's body trembled instantly. He clenched his fist and relaxed on the recliner. "Ah...that feels good."
Although he had expended some energy, his injuries from fighting Charlotte Linlin had healed.
The bruises on his body were gone, the broken ribs had healed, and the internal injuries from the beating were almost completely healed.
The power of Devil Fruits, it has to be said, is sometimes a miracle.
"Are you done, Kuro?" Kizaru asked from the side.
"That's about it."
Kuro nodded, letting out a sigh of relief. "Finally, it's over. I'll never get carried away like that again."
"Mr. Kuro! What are you saying!"
Cass said solemnly from the side, "You are amazing! To face the Four Emperors alone, that is the courage we all need to learn! You once said that the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage, and you have perfectly embodied that statement!"
“Yes! Such boldness is something I greatly admire!” Donald chimed in from the side.
Kuro rolled his eyes and ignored the two idiots.
If he gets carried away again, he'll be a fool.
Fighting a battle, gaining nothing and getting injured, how incredibly frustrating.
"Speaking of which, Kuro, what did you do to the Kingdom of Krein?"
Kizaru stroked his chin and chuckled, "When I was watching just now, their willpower was terrifying."
"I did nothing. This is something that some foolish king obtained by risking his life."
Just then, Kro returned and handed Kuro a cigar. He took it, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smacked his lips: "This tastes the best."
He didn't want to talk about it either.
There's nothing to talk about with that idiot.
Erecting a sculpture in his honor is already an act of kindness on his part.
At least... someone will remember, even though he wasn't entirely sure of the truth, but intuitively, he felt it was correct.
"By the way, what will happen to the island if you all come?"
Kuro frowned and asked, "Doesn't Sabaody need to be guarded?"
Pegasus Island is easy to deal with; Cass was just passing by. Douglas's navy is small, and most of them are on Pegasus Island.
Given the number of people on Pegasus Island, ordinary pirates have no way to get in.
Especially since he had just criticized Charlotte Linlin, the old man even went for a walk afterwards.
As for Chambord, all his men are here, and Chambord is almost empty.
"It's all arranged."
"Shambhala was under martial law before we set off," said Kro. "Colonel Wilbur is there maintaining order."
As he said this, a hint of coldness crept into his voice.
This martial law is much more violent than the last one.
But at that time, Kro dared not care about anything else; if things were not done well, he would be the one to suffer the consequences.
"Me too, me too."
Sazier leaned closer, boasting, "The underground order in Chambord has been completely cleaned up."
Kuro rolled his eyes.
If you can't even do this little thing right, you might as well go back to school and start over.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. What am I doing standing around here? Go do what you were doing."
Kuro waved his hand, "Let me clean up for a bit, I'm feeling uncomfortable right now."
He hasn't recovered yet.
Although he found his lion's head along the way, he had already smashed half of his own stock.
It breaks my heart!
