I Knew This Woman Looks… Hey!
The old man was the mayor of Pegasus Town. After Pegasus Island was crippled and the Twin Horse Kingdom gave the control of the island to the World Government, the mayor here basically lost his power.
“The pirates have finally disappeared!”
“There are no pirates in this town, we are liberated!”
“Long live the liberation!”
The corpses of the pirates all over the ground made those ragged civilians reveal a long-lost smile, like dead wood growing new shoots, with a little more hope in their eyes.
“Please forgive us, Marine, we have lived too hard under the rule of pirates.”
The mayor bowed to Kuro, who had landed, and said, “It wasn’t like this at first. Although those pirates are fierce, they are better to us and are not so unscrupulous. But ever since the kingdom gave the island to the World Government, we have been miserable.”
“After that, the appearance of a Marine made them even more ferocious… My Lord, that Marine, we hid him secretly in order to wait for you to completely recapture this island before handing him over to you.”
The mayor looked at Kuro and said solemnly.
“Marines…”
Kuro was stunned for a moment and looked at everyone, including the woman who vented her anger on Marine. At this time, she also wiped her tears. There was no resentment in her eyes but more determination.
“You mean that Marines came here and caused harm to these pirates, but they were also seriously injured because of this, and then you hid them?”
Crowe said in surprise.
“It’s like this.”
Betty gritted her teeth and nodded. “We took in the Marine who was seriously injured.”
The person who was robbed of his money bag and died under the pirate knife was her husband.
Grudge, of course. If these Marines had come earlier, they would have suffered less from such a hellish scene.
But regret…
From the moment they took in that Marine, they were fully prepared for the price they paid!
“This is really…”
Crowe’s eyes showed a trace of shock. He was clearly so weak that he did not dare to resist the pirates, but he had such thoughts.
Humans… are really contradictory creatures.
Kuro closed his eyes and opened them again. He nodded. “Take me there. With your abilities, it’s not easy to keep her alive.”
“She?”
Leda froze. “It’s a woman?”
A female Marine?
“How did you know?” The mayor was also stunned and said:
“That Marine, she fought those pirates for us. Although she failed in the end, we all admire her.”
“What’s her name?” Kuro asked.
“I don’t know her name, I only know that she looks… Hey!” The mayor said with a smile.
“Then what unit is she from and who is she under?” Kuro continued to ask.
“I don’t know which unit she comes from, I only know that she looks… Hey!” The mayor continued to smile.
“Did she say anything? Like support or something.”
“I don’t know if she said anything. I only know that she looks…”
“Stop, stop, stop. Take me there.”
Kuro waved his hand speechlessly.
“Okay, my lord.”
The mayor nodded and walked towards the corner of the town, followed by the other townspeople.
The mayor made several turns in Pegasus Town and came to a remote suburb. There was a temple there. The bronze paint of the Buddha statue in the temple had long been scraped off by pirates and its head had been cut off. The entire temple was dilapidated.
Inside the temple, some old beds could be seen. Those who were bullied by the pirates until they were bankrupt were living here.
“My lord, here.”
The mayor walked behind the Buddha statue and pried open a floorboard, revealing a tunnel. “Your colleagues are hidden here by us.”
Screech.
Kuro turned on his lighter, lit the cigar in his mouth, and led the way down.
The tunnel under the stairs was very dark. If he suddenly went down, he really could not see the environment inside.
Just as he walked down the stairs, a cold voice appeared beside him.
“Don’t move.”
A gun was pointed at his glabella.
Gradually, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness. Inside the tunnel, one could see a small warehouse covered with straw and some wooden barrels. In front of the straw, a man raised a large-caliber pistol and pointed it at Kuro.
That person had long blue wavy hair. Although her appearance was a little unclear in the darkness, Kuro knew that this woman was indeed as the mayor said. She looked… Hey!
“Marines?”
The female Marine pointing the gun also saw Kuro’s Marine cloak through the light coming through the floor. She was stunned for a moment and put away the gun. “Sorry, I thought it was a pirate.”
“Lida,” Kuro said.
“Oh!”
Lida turned into a girl and put one hand on Kuro’s back. “Essence energy!”
Then, in a flash, she appeared in front of the Marine and hit her in the abdomen.
Bang!
The heavy blow sent the Marine flying and she hit the wall of the warehouse.
“You, what are you doing!” The mayor shouted.
“Bastard!”
The Marine with long blue hair stood up and pulled out the two short knives tied to his thigh. He was about to attack when he was suddenly stunned.
“I…”
She looked at her hands. The injuries caused by the battle had disappeared, and the internal injuries she had suffered were gradually healing, and the vitality of her body…
She has recovered!
“Don’t point a gun at your colleagues, Marine,” Leda shook her hand and said.
“Sorry, I’m too nervous. There are too many pirates here. It’s a misunderstanding.” The Marine bowed to Leda and said, “Thank you for treating me.”
“No… forget it, it’s for you anyway.”
She did this on purpose. Who asked this person to point a gun at Kuro?
“Marine, are you okay?!” the mayor asked.
The Marine nodded: “Yes, I have been cured, thank you very much. I am Headquarters Major Ian, belonging to the ‘Pirate Guerrillas’ led by Mr. Zephyr. You are?”
“Who did you say you are?” Kuro was stunned.
Thinking he hadn’t heard, Ian repeated the story.
“Mr. Kuro, Zephyra is…”
Crowe pushed up his glasses. He knew this person well enough.
Former Marine Admiral, a strong man with the title of ‘Black Wrist’.
Because he led the new recruits training camp and lost an arm to a pirate’s sneak attack, he has long retreated to the second line and created a ‘Pirate Guerrillas’ himself, patrolling everywhere and attacking pirates.
And Kuro knew even more.
A year later, that Zephyr will completely withdraw from the Marine and establish a new Marine, and this Ian is one of the BUG Abilities that Kuro needs to pay attention to.
Retrograde Fruit user, once touched, can make an object return to its state 12 years ago.
But for now, they were still colleagues.
“You are here? What about Mr. Zephyr?” Kuro said.
