As the other end of the phone hung up, Kuro put the receiver back, leaned back in his chair, puffed on a cigarette, and stared blankly out the window.
"Kuro?" Lida tilted her head.
"What do you think, Lida?" Kuro asked.
"What? Oh, the World Conference? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with us." Lida picked up an apple, took a bite, and made a crisp sound.
Kuro said irritably, "Your brother is the current king of the Insect Kingdom, which is also a member state. How can you say we have no connection?"
The Insect Kingdom is located next to the Flower Kingdom. They had been at war for a long time before, and later, with the involvement of Kuro, Lida's older brother, Lowe, transformed into 'Uchiha Wee' and slaughtered the entire clan in an attempt to stop the Goddess of the Flower Kingdom's plan.
After Kuro dealt with Luo Shen, he became king.
He provided the initial funding for Pegasus Island.
"Give your brother a call. During the World Government meeting, have him do as I ask. If anyone proposes abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea... veto it and propose a compromise: let the Navy select the Seven Warlords of the Sea to ensure that nothing like what happened with Doflamingo and Crocodile doesn't happen."
Kuro said, then thought for a moment and called out, "Kuro! Kuro!!"
This time, Kro did not appear at the door immediately.
A red dot appeared in Lida's eyes. She said, "I sensed it. It seems like Sazir is undergoing special training."
"Tsk."
Kuro opened the Den Den Mushi, dialed the number, and as soon as the other end answered, he yelled, "Stop messing around and get over here! I need your help!"
At this moment, inside the training ground of Branch G-3.
Sazir was panting heavily with one arm hanging down, looking extremely disheveled. The surrounding environment was also in a mess, with the ground covered in grooves and depressions as if struck by sharp blades and heavy hammers.
Amidst the swirling dust, the half-werewolf opposite him, now in human form, transformed back into human shape, placed the Den Den Mushi into his robes, adjusted his glasses, and said:
"That's all for today. Mr. Kuro is looking for me."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Clooney."
Sazir smiled slightly, and the itching and pain all over his body disappeared instantly when Kro finished speaking.
This means that Mr. Clooney has truly let him go.
Thinking about this filled him with regret.
It's so addictive! Absolutely addictive!
I thought that even if I couldn't say I'd become the master after getting the spoils, at least I could maintain the same status as my other subordinates!
Among these captains, Donald, who is the most physically capable, is not usually at the branch. He often runs around with Colonel Cass, giving the impression of being a captain who is different from the others.
Brother Moore?
Although he was a private first class, his official position was that of a messenger, and he was quite capable. Even Mr. Crowe treated him with great courtesy, and he was rarely seen on weekdays, either drinking or sleeping somewhere, so he could be ignored.
However, he wanted to maintain the same status as the other captains.
Kikyo, a direct subordinate of Colonel Lida, is a naval officer and cook. She has such poor hearing that even Vice Admiral Clow sometimes can't handle her and does whatever she wants without any punishment.
Fanny has now transferred to Colonel Wilbur's command and become his direct subordinate. She is having a great time in the laboratory, especially after obtaining the fruit, which has turned the area around the laboratory into a restricted zone.
To this end, Vice Admiral Kuro asked Admiral Kizaru to procure a batch of anti-toxic medical protective suits and special materials from the famous scientist Vegapunk, so as to seal up the laboratory and prevent germs from escaping.
Both were captains, both were subordinates of Lieutenant General Kuro, so why didn't Sazel receive as many benefits?
Instead, he was bullied by his own boss all day long.
I'm so resentful! I'm so incredibly resentful!
"You seem a bit off."
With his keen observation skills, Kro noticed that Sazir's mood was off and said, "Not enough? I can slow down and hit you a couple more times."
“No, that’s more than enough!” Sazir shouted, standing at attention, but then, feeling wronged, he asked again:
"Mr. Clooney, why do I always get beaten up? I want to be like Kikyo and Fanny too."
Upon hearing this, Kro remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "You... you actually have such ambitions?"
"Yes, yes..."
Sazier said cautiously, "I've always wanted to be like them."
Looking at Sazir's somewhat cautious expression, Kuro pursed his lips and pushed up his glasses with a slight tremor. "I respect my subordinates' ideas, but I have to ask Mr. Kuro first. If he approves, I will apply to him."
“Really?!” Sazir was overjoyed.
I never expected that things would be settled just by asking a question!
It feels like a dream!
“Yes, I will ask Mr. Kuro to help me find the Queen of the Transvestites, Ivankov. He definitely has the ability to turn you into a girl,” Kuro said.
Sazir: "..."
“I didn’t say I wanted to become a girl, Mr. Clooney. What I meant was that I wanted to have the same status as Kikyo and Fanny, so I wouldn’t have to get beaten up.”
“Then what’s the point of your existence?” Krok said instinctively.
“Huh?” Sazir stood there, stunned.
No, what I mean is...
Kro thought for a moment, then said seriously, "This is a tradition of our lineage!"
That's really a tradition!
What makes you think he's any better?!
Mr. Kuro has so many subordinates, and he himself is treated like a butler, yet his treatment is not as good as that of his other subordinates.
As for Ain, strictly speaking, she is not directly under Mr. Kuro's command. She has only rejoined the Navy with Mr. Kuro and is more like the commander of G-3.
G-3 also has colonels, whose functions are the same as Kuro's, but they belong to G-3, to headquarters, not directly under Mr. Kuro. Although they can be commanded, they are ultimately not quite the same.
These people are half of our own people, and Colonel Ian should be considered three-quarters of our own people.
But the other colonels were completely one of their own.
Lida...
There's not much to say; we can't compete, and we don't dare to.
The gun and shield duo, Cass and Wilbur, honestly, Kro is very envious.
But their passionate spirit is something I can't learn, nor can I learn.
He didn't dare to learn it either.
Mr. Kuro spoke softly to Cass and kindly advised Wilbur, but if he tried to use that same approach with himself, he'd probably get his legs broken.
Although Kro felt this was another way to express closeness, he sometimes simply wasn't cut out for it. As for being beaten, he had already been beaten many times before Sazir.
Mr. Kuro euphemistically called it training, and while the increase in strength was indeed rapid, the method... the method...
How could he not find someone to carry on his legacy?!
Moreover, this person's full name is Sazir Kuro.
