Kuro rolled his eyes; he knew the World Government would definitely publish a newspaper like this.
This was within his expectations. As the descendant of a general, there were certain things he should do, and dealing with the Four Emperors was something he had been considering.
From the time he started targeting those old men who came out of Impel Down, his mindset shifted from not getting promoted and not becoming famous to beating people so badly that no one would bother him anymore.
The results are surprisingly good; he hasn't seen any foolish old men causing him trouble for a long time.
Especially after defeating the Four Emperors, those ambitious pirates will likely look for other targets instead of him.
There's nothing wrong with this newspaper.
Most importantly, he has become numb.
This kind of thing no longer stirred any emotion in him.
Putting the newspaper aside, Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "Speaking of which, what are they thinking...?"
"You'll have to go talk to the Five Elders about this yourself; we only know the general outline."
Tsuru looked at Kuro and said, "I know you're a little reluctant, after all, it's a country, but we can't refuse the demands from above. Kuro, you have to understand, the Navy is an agency of the World Government. The CP organization doesn't have a suitable candidate to control Wano Country; only you can."
Sakazuki nodded: "Having the G-3 fortress there is like opening a hole in the New World."
Kuro asked in bewilderment, "Can I switch? What about Issho? I remember he was born near Wano Country, so he's quite familiar with that place. Maybe I should send him instead. I really can't handle it. I'm exhausted from fighting in Wano Country. I'm seriously injured and need to rest."
"This is an order from above, and I trust you to handle things. Perhaps we can wipe out all the pirates in one fell swoop!"
At this point, Sakazuki's fists turned red with excitement, causing the table to emit puffs of smoke.
Kuro's eyes twitched. To be honest, he was very curious about how many desks Sakazuki had wasted since becoming Marshal, since this desk was always in perfect condition every time he returned.
"Is there no other way? I think I can guard other places, like the first half of the Grand Line?" Kuro asked, unwilling to give up.
"Kuro!"
Sakazuki's expression turned serious, and he said, "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in running away anymore!"
...
"Now that things have come to this, you shouldn't run away anymore!"
Meanwhile, in the Udon area, in the cell where King was being held, a bearded man wearing a navy cloak and with a resolute expression roared at the huge, bound man.
This is a prison where the Beasts Pirates and Wano Country samurai are held. After the war ended, those samurai were also imprisoned to prevent any trouble.
These high-ranking officials were held in solitary confinement. The presence of Seastone prevented them from moving around; they were simply bound by chains. Furthermore, their confinement was short-lived, as Cass arrived soon afterward, so naturally, nothing unexpected happened.
Now, what Cass needs to do first is to persuade Jhin, also known as Abel, to surrender.
After studying the intelligence and information of many members of the Beasts Pirates, Cass first identified this man.
They come from the ancient 'Moon Clan', who are said to be the original inhabitants of the Red Line. There is a reward of 100 million Berries for any information about the Moon Clan in the world. They have been persecuted so severely by the World Government. They met Kaido in the laboratory.
A man like that couldn't possibly only be thinking about being a pirate.
He is someone I can try to win over.
King's mask had long since been stripped off during the battle, revealing his handsome brown face as he glared at Kass. "What did I run away from? I just didn't want to communicate with the Navy. You executed Mr. Kaido; you are my enemies!"
...
"No, what did I run away from? I just didn't want to stay in Wano Country. I just executed Kaido, and they have a lot of grudges against me there. They're all my enemies," Kuro said, somewhat unconvinced.
That's true, what he said makes sense. If someone becomes a general so inexplicably and then forcefully establishes a naval base in Wano Country, the follow-up issues will be extremely troublesome.
He's good at killing pirates, but when it comes to suppressing them, he's not quite up to it...
If he could come back, that would be the best thing.
Compared to the chaos of the New World, the first half, or the World Government's territory in the New World, was much safer.
Sakazuki solemnly said, "You've been spending too much time with Borsalino, always harboring this kind of complacent mentality. Kuro, the World Government gave you the title of 'Marine Hero,' which was also my suggestion. This title is not only for the world to see, but also for you. You, who ended the era of the Four Emperors, deserve this title. Don't think that taking Garp's title will cause any problems. The future of the Navy rests on your shoulders!"
...
"Jin, no, Abel, you've been with Kaido for too long, haven't you? You've forgotten your original purpose. A man like you is less like Kaido's subordinate and more like Kaido's ideal subordinate. Don't think that 'changing the world' is Kaido's exclusive right, and don't think that only Kaido can change the world. You were defeated, so you're not convinced. You're imprisoned just because you failed?"
Kass said righteously, "The idea that the victor has everything is not wrong, but the loser is not necessarily going to lose everything. You think that serving Kaido means you shouldn't bow down to the Navy? You're so wrong! Bowing down before true justice is not shameful!"
A complex look appeared in Jhin's eyes. Yes, he did want to change the world, to change the world where their race was so discriminated against and even captured at will like rare beasts. In this ocean, no one would truly accept them, because a single piece of information was worth 100 million Berries. There would always be people with ill intentions, and this bounty would also make them dangerous in the eyes of the world.
Otherwise, why would he always wear a mask, even in Wano Country and within the Beasts Pirates?
He followed Kaido because Kaido wanted to change the world, and he believed that Kaido had the power to change the world.
King lowered his head and said in a complicated tone, "Heh, what can your Navy do? You're just lackeys of the World Government. What do you mean by true justice? You can't change anything."
"That's exactly why!"
Cass shouted directly, "That's precisely why we urgently need to change things, precisely because you think you can't change them. The future isn't something we can rely on; it's something we have to create ourselves. There's no savior on this ocean, and we don't rely on any king or emperor. We only have ourselves to rely on!"
...
"Watch this again!"
Sakazuki picked up the newspaper about the 'Naval Hero' on the table and shouted, "Kuro! Your ideals can't be like Borsalino's; they should be to change this world and eradicate this evil world! With you here, we will surely end the chaotic order of this sea!!"
...
Look at this!
Cass pulled out "The Faith of Justice," practically shoving it into Jhin's face, and roared:
"Abel, your ideal is not to be with Kaido, but to change this world and eradicate this evil world! With you here, we will surely end the chaotic order of this sea!!"
