After collapsing to the ground for a while, Donald got up and stared at Kuro, his gaze as if he wanted to permanently memorize Kuro's appearance.
What?
Is this a sign of dissatisfaction, a desire to try again?
If he does it again, Kuro won't have much patience. One chance is enough. Does he really think he can attack the Navy without facing consequences?
Bang!
Suddenly, Donald knelt down and performed a full prostration, admitting defeat wholeheartedly. "I have lost, I am completely convinced. You truly are worthy of being the disciple of the one who defeated my master, perfectly inheriting everything he has. However, I will not give up, and I will challenge you again!"
After saying that, he turned around and jumped into the sea, swimming away into the distance.
Judging from the situation, it seems they're planning to wander around...
Is this guy really that reckless?
"Kuro, what was that attack of yours? Wasn't that murderous intent?"
Once Donald had disappeared from everyone's sight, Lida walked over, poked Kuro with her finger, and asked.
“If you punch 10,000 times every day with a grateful heart, you can do it in a few years,” Kuro told her.
"Huh? Feeling grateful?" Lida looked at him suspiciously. "You feel that way too?"
"Of course!"
Kuro said firmly, "I was extremely grateful during that time!"
He was of course grateful.
Although he didn't want to come into this world, the power granted by his cheat system allowed him to protect himself, for which Kuro was very grateful.
Thanks to the cheat code, and thanks to myself for having decent swordsmanship talent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to train his sword strikes so quickly. Although the [Unknown Divine Wind Style] is wind, it's useless if you don't practice it.
"Ten thousand times?" Lida gasped. "Ten thousand times at full power?"
“Otherwise, you can’t really make a difference by just swinging your sword normally.” Kuro nodded.
"You really are a pervert."
This method is not something that ordinary people can endure. To launch 10,000 attacks every day is not only exhausting but also endlessly tedious, not to mention the lack of any sense of gratitude.
"Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel!"
The captain ran over and shouted, "Lieutenant Colonel, a warship is coming!"
warship?
Kuro was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask a question, a yellow light flashed in the sky.
"Moshi moshi, moshi moshi, that's strange, Kuro, why aren't you answering the phone?"
As if strolling leisurely, the sleazy old man looked at the black Den Den Mushi on his wrist, which gradually took on a human form, and then he saw Kuro at the port.
"Oh~ so many people, how scary. Kuro, did you come here specifically to welcome me? But I still haven't been able to get through to the phone I asked you to call."
"That's because you're using a wiretap snipe!"
Kuro, veins bulging, uttered a sentence, then watched Kizaru land, a smile appearing on his lips: "Grandpa, welcome."
"That's... Admiral Kizaru?!"
The sailors stared wide-eyed.
Kizaru, one of the World Government's three top combat forces.
Admiral Kizaru came in person? That means the World Government acknowledges their actions on Moe Island, which relieved some Marines. Lieutenant Commander Kuro had been too reckless, and some smart people were worried about the consequences, but now it seems that nothing has happened.
The onlookers also looked pleased; with the general arriving, their peace and stability were somewhat guaranteed.
"Oh~ I heard you were in big trouble, so I made a special trip early. It seems you've resolved it." Kizaru shrugged.
These words made Kuro scratch his head, and he said uncertainly, "It seems, probably, maybe, perhaps... it's solved."
Because he himself didn't feel it was real, but it was indeed resolved.
In the distance, a warship slowly approached and docked at the port.
"Hello, hello!"
On the deck, a man wearing heart-shaped glasses waved excitedly in that direction.
"Zan Gao?"
When Kro saw the newcomer, he was slightly taken aback. If Zango was there, it meant that the officer in charge of this ship was Tina.
Sure enough, after the ship docked, Tina led her people down from above.
"You've done a good job, Kuro."
She had a cigarette in her mouth, and that was the first thing she said to Kuro.
"Grandma Crane is really worried about you, and Marshal Sengoku, Totina is here to tell you to stop doing such pointless things!"
"I've never heard Mr. Sengoku say anything like that," Kizaru remarked.
“Because he knows you won’t tell him, Admiral Kizaru.” Tina rolled her eyes at him.
"You think I want to do this? We've run into each other, haven't we? If you come over, you'll be the one taking over?" Kuro asked.
Tina nodded: "Tina has been promoted to brigadier general and is stationed here. As for you, you need to go back to headquarters to report. Also, are you planning to discuss matters here?"
...
At the temporary naval base, Kuro arrived with Kizaru and Tina.
"This place, Kuro, you've been too careless. You haven't even laid a foundation." Tina frowned, realizing at a glance that this naval base had been hastily constructed.
"It's just temporary. If you come, you can just go back and rebuild it yourself."
Kuro shrugged and led the two into the office, followed closely by Chloe and Lida, who were majors and qualified to attend such meetings.
Upon entering the office, Tina immediately said, "The Kingdom of Norman and the Kingdom of Suknee have filed a complaint against you with the World Government, accusing you, as a Marine, of interfering in the affairs of both countries without cause and killing Bonaparte Boropag, a knight of honor shared by both nations. I wonder if it was just a coincidence, but you really did kill that guy, didn't you?"
Kuro nodded: "You've heard of it?"
“I’ve heard about him. A despicable arms dealer who liked to buy humans for experiments—it’s good that he’s dead. Fleet Admiral Sengoku appreciated you for that, so he withstood the pressure and didn’t punish you. Shouldn’t you tone it down a bit, Kuro? The Navy… after all, is still a subordinate agency of the World Government,” Tina said.
"Well, just like Tina said, be careful next time, Kuro."
Kizaru, sitting in the main seat of the office, said with a smile.
"Understood, sir."
Kuro replied nonchalantly.
"You two..."
Tina, wearing black gloves, rubbed her forehead. "Tina knew this would happen. Admiral Kizaru, you really don't take this matter seriously."
"Oh~ I have no choice, Kuro. You can't stay on Moe Island anymore. Come with me and Headquarters to complete your promotion and medal conferment. But this time, you may not be able to stay on the Grand Line. The World Government has a problem with you."
Why not stay on the Grand Line?
Kuro perked up. "That's wonderful... Ah, no, that's incredibly frustrating."
He looked dejected. "It's really disappointing that I can't complete my naval training on the Grand Line, hehehehe!"
Even Tina looked at him with disdain as she saw the silly grin that he couldn't help but show.
"Tone it down, tone it down, Kuro, your expression is giving you away," Lida whispered a reminder.
