"Kazanosen".
Kro explained, "The town of EndPoint is famous for its hot springs, and there's also a sea train nearby, so many people like to come here for sightseeing."
"spa?"
Kuro paused for a moment, then said, "This guy is a business rival, huh?"
His Pegasus Island also has a hot spring industry.
"That's true."
Kro said, "Mr. Kuro, according to global statistics, we hold a 6% share of the tourism business, while Kazanosen holds 2%. However, Kazanosen is slightly stronger than us in the hot spring sector alone. We basically rely on Kabuki and newly developed entertainment industries to survive."
"Huh? Isn't our family's hot spring the best?"
Lida asked, "Whose hot spring is the best?"
Kro said, "The most impressive place is probably the hot spring hotel near Alabasta, which is owned by the Sky Islander who helped us dig the hot springs. In addition, the largest commercial location is 'Gran Tezoro,' the world's largest entertainment city, which accounts for 20 percent of the world's tourism industry."
"Ah! I know that."
Lida's eyes lit up. "What a wonderful place, known as the Golden City!"
"That place..."
Kuro narrowed his eyes. "Never mind, it has nothing to do with us. I remember it was an independent 'country' recognized by the World Government."
“Let’s go play sometime, Kuro!” Lida said excitedly.
"We'll talk about that later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Let's go to this town first. That stubborn old man will definitely choose one of the remaining two Endpoints."
Ten large warships gradually arrived at their destination.
Kazanosen.
This is an island with a huge volcanic crater. Below the mountains, many buildings are built from top to bottom. The island has two large ports.
One of them is a stop for the sea train, and the other is a stop specifically for ships.
The residents near the port were horrified when they saw ten warships surging towards them on the sea.
Such a grand display is quite rare.
It would be understandable if it were just one or two ships; these naval vessels are here on a mission.
Five or six ships would be understandable; there must be a vicious criminal on the island.
But when ten ships appeared at once, their first thought was of the legendary 'Buster Order'!
A massive fighting force capable of indiscriminately attacking and completely destroying an island.
But it's clear these residents are overthinking things.
The warship docked at the port and lowered its steps.
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth and his hands in his pockets, stepped off the warship and walked ahead.
Behind him, Doberman, Onigumo, Momonga, and Steeles gathered and followed Kuro. Further back was a group of Marines led by Lida and the others, forming a white tide that marched mightily toward the town.
The flying squirrel glanced at the residents who had quickly dodged away, their faces filled with worry, and said, "Kuro, send a group of people to keep them calm. Don't let the people here develop any resentment towards us."
"Hmph, no need for that, Kuro."
Doberman scoffed, "We do everything for justice, and we don't need to care about the opinions of these residents."
“I think we should do that, inform these people, and it will make it easier for us to carry out our operation,” the flying squirrel said.
“That kind of thing doesn’t matter, finding Professor Zephyr is more important,” Onigumo said.
“It does matter, after all, our justice is for the sake of maintaining peace and protecting these civilians,” Stalez said.
Hawks and doves are bound to argue when they're together; they all have different ideologies.
This is something that gives Kuro a real headache.
"Alright, alright, I'm the commander-in-chief. I'll send a group of people to inform them. Cass, Wilbur, you two take charge. Also, tell them to prepare for the retreat."
Kuro said, "If that old bastard comes to this island, even if we fail to stop him, we must protect the civilians from harm."
“Yes, Mr. Kuro!” Cass and Wilbur said in unison.
"Tch, do whatever you want, just get to the point," Doberman said.
The Hawks didn't actually have any objections to Kuro.
After all, this person suited their temperament well; his ruthless and ruthless style of doing things was to their liking.
It's not worth having a problem with Kuro over something like this.
Besides Kuro's desire to protect civilians, the reason the doves were willing to let Kuro lead the team this time was also because Zephyr was their teacher. Given Kuro's personality, as long as the old man realized his mistakes, his chances of survival were high.
With no objections from either side, and given that Kuro was the overall commander leading the team, he naturally had the final say.
"Are you going to soak in the hot springs?"
Kuro turned to them and said, "The hot springs here are nice. Since we've come all this way, why don't we relax?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested."
Onigumo, munching on a cigar, said, "Kuro, don't let your guard down either."
The others also looked uninterested.
"Why does life have to be so boring? Fine, if you guys aren't going, then you're free to do whatever you want. I'm going to have some fun," Kuro said with a smile.
"I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Lida rushed over, raising her hand and saying, "Is there a mixed bath, Kuro? Let's go to the mixed bath!"
"No mixed-gender bathing allowed!"
Kuro glared at Lida. "There are too many people in the mixed baths. You'll have to go to the women's bath!"
