Chapter 971 – : It’S Okay, He Doesn’T Care
But now Sakasugi is a little worried. Exterminating Blackbeard is a great contribution. That is Yonkō (Four Emperors), which was destroyed by Kuro alone.
In addition to publicizing such achievements, they also wanted a position.
Now, Fortress G-3 and even the island it is located on can no longer be taken. Not only must the base be rebuilt, but the location must also be chosen.
The location of their naval base is not just about finding a random island. It has to be related to climate and the best way of transportation to facilitate the deployment of troops.
After that, we still have to consider whether the island is suitable to be stationed and how big the island is. A small island cannot accommodate a direct branch.
Fortresses directly under the branch are all fortresses, unlike ordinary branches that can live with the town.
It would take a lot of time to develop a large base out of thin air.
Moreover, there are basically people on the islands near G-3. Moving civilians is also a big project.
G-3 Base needs a lot of time to be ready. For the time being, Kuro has to return to the headquarters.
But as a great general candidate, could he return to the headquarters to relax?
If he was sent to other places, there would be no important positions for him. If he was given a lighter position, wouldn’t he be demoted?
Although without G-3, Kuro’s power is not small because he himself is responsible for the Shichibukai-related matters. This is something that only a general can do. Now that he is in charge, of course his power is not low.
But as a highly cultivated existence, Sakasugi naturally had to take Kuro a step further.
But there is really no place for him now. This is what worries him.
Still …
“I will report the credit, you have done well.” Sakasugi smiled at the Marine Admiral.
First of all, these subordinates of Kuro must be promoted. This credit is enough for them to be promoted. In addition, Kuro has not thought of where to go for the time being, so he can only promote his subordinates.
… .
In the restaurant of Barnotmiral.
The waiters at the side were sweating profusely as they left with empty plates, but there were still many empty plates on the table.
The middle-aged man, who was a little old and dressed in the traditional attire of the Country of Peace, leaned back in his chair. There was nothing in front of him except for a cup of tea. He had already eaten and the few empty plates had long been taken away by the waiter. Instead, the young man next to him was still eating non-stop. The food that was served was basically eaten by him.
As a result, the food in the restaurant has run out. The boss has already dragged people out to buy it. Even if there is a large amount of sea beast meat, doesn’t the cooking need ingredients? Isn’t it tiring to keep eating this thing?
What? Make a few more of the same dishes?
They are chefs!
Pride won’t let them!
Kuro quickly poured a plate of food made of sea beast essence into his mouth and casually chewed it before eating it. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Are you full?” Kizaru asked.
“No… I can eat elegantly now.”
Kuro shook his head and looked at the small mountain of plates around him. He said to the nearby people, “Come on, take these away and clean up the table.”
With that, he said to Kizaru, “If it weren’t for the need for supplements, I would eat elegantly. You know me, Old Master.”
As he spoke, he picked up the napkin that had not been touched since he started eating and threw it forward before elegantly tying it around his neck.
Kizaru smiled and did not say anything else. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
“After eating, we are going back to headquarters,” Kizaru said.
“Have you decided on my place?” Kuro lit a cigar while the dishes were being served.
“Not yet. Well, there’s no hurry.” Kizaru smiled.
“That’s true, there’s no hurry, I’m not in a hurry at all.” Kuro blew out a mouthful of smoke and said with a righteous face: “Everything is based on Headquarters. Headquarters wants me to stay and I can do it. They want me to return to the first half of the Grand Line. Even if they send me back to East Blue, I will still listen to them!”
G-3 is gone. That place can’t even rebuild a base.
It takes a lot of time to build a big base. During this time, he has nothing to do except to control Shichibukai.
This is a good thing!
There is no need to station himself in a lousy place like the New World. He can use the excuse of choosing Shichibukai to relax for a while. Even in the headquarters, it is essentially idle. At least he has nothing to do for two or three years.
Otherwise, should he find a large base for him to camp in?
There are not many big bases in the New World. They were originally G-1, G-3, and G-5.
The G-1 is now switched with Headquarters. The G-3 is gone, and the G-5 Smoker is there. Although after Headquarters is switched, the Marine backbone is now collectively in the New World and also switched with the Grand Line, it also means that there is no place for him in the New World. He, the G-3 Base Chief, was given up by Garp.
Everyone was doing well, so why should they hand over their territory? It was unreasonable and unreasonable. Not to mention that they were unwilling, even if they were willing, Kuro was also unwilling.
It would destroy the harmony of Marine colleagues.
He could totally suffer for the sake of his comradeship. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. He won’t mind.
Thinking of this, Kuro smiled.
It’s not like there’s no profit in this battle. That bastard Tiki doesn’t dare to think about me for a long time. Kaido and Lingling are now preparing to plan their One Piece road in the Country of Peace. I’m afraid it will take several years. In addition, they will make a name for themselves in this battle. When they go back and publicize it, no pirate will dare to mess with them. G-3 is gone, and he doesn’t have to be stationed.
This talent will probably last for a long time.
It’s not that there’s no effect if you change your thinking.
It really is …
Yada Bandit!!
Kuro was in such a good mood that his teeth were about to be bared. He felt that his injuries were not so painful anymore.
“Sorry!”
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, “I see the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates here and I have come to ask for supplies. Please let me rest here. I am the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates!”
The voice was powerful and full of heroism.
Straw hat?
Helm?
Kuro and Kizaru subconsciously looked out of the door and saw a merman walking in.
“Oh~” Kizaru opened his mouth, his eyes inexplicable.
“Qiping?” Kuro bit his cigar and said.
The man was a blue-skinned whale shark man wearing a traditional attire of the Country of Peace and a cloak.
The original bounty of 438 million, the original Shichibukai, the current helmsman of Straw Hat, “Sea Warrior” Jinbe.
An old acquaintance is Jinbe!
In order to block Big Mom’s pursuit, he let the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates go first. He and the Sun Pirate Ship that came to rescue blocked Charlotte Lingling’s ship. With the characteristics of the Merman, they delayed for a while. In the end, they retreated and disappeared into the sea and went to the Country of Peace.
But he had to make up for it. He couldn’t stay in the sea forever. He happened to see an island with the Straw Hat Pirates flag, so he swam up and wanted to bring some supplies with him.
But now… it doesn’t seem good.
