1308 World Conference
Translator: Atlas Studios

Since the start of the war on all fronts more than a year ago, the sea has gone from a steady victory to the current stalemate.
This place is different from the Grand Line or the Four Seas where a ship can be a base. They have their own territory. If Marines want to destroy them, they will definitely resist.
In a year, both sides fought until their brains came out and the entire New World was in chaos.
It was similar at the base camp. It was chaotic everywhere.
Kuro’s side is similar. Crowe and others only come back once in a long time to resupply, and they went out again after a few days. Even Leda has run away many times in the past year.
However, for a year, he did not receive any news from Straw Hat and Tiki. It was as if they had disappeared and the base camp on Hive Island was empty. He did not know where Tiki was.
The sea is very chaotic, but the Kingdom of Peace is still good. Although the battle is in a stalemate, this is inevitable as long as the war can still be won. Kuro occasionally goes down to deal with the pirates, but the ultimate goal is still to find Tiki and Straw Hat.
However, when he was resting, the call he received was a little surprising.
Poseidon the Sea King…
Kuro knew who it was. The largest Mermaid Princess, Shirahoshi, was one of the three weapons, the Sea King.
But who would be willing to talk about this? The World Government is so crazy. If they knew this news, the last World Conference would not be about that idiot Charles capturing Shirahoshi alone. It would be about everyone going together to capture Shirahoshi.
But how was it discovered?
The Den Den Mushi said: “Those pirates passed through the Fishman Island and wanted to capture Shirahoshi to start the war. But unexpectedly, Shirahoshi triggered a large number of giant Sea Kings and wiped out all the pirates.”
“Ah…”
Kuro responded, “I see, then there is no other way. What are the plans of the higher-ups now?”
“Capture!”
Den Den Mushi said, “Admiral, there is a plan to lure Princess Shirahoshi over and capture her during the World Conference. They participated in it last time and they should also participate this time. This time, Sakasugi will lead the team to ‘escort’ Shirahoshi.”
“Okay, I see. Where is that straw hat kid?”
“Uh, I just received the news of his appearance. I’m not sure where he is for the time being.”
“Okay, let me know when you confirm the news.”
The escort mission of the World Conference came first, and this time Kuro was not spared. Although it was the same last time, the situation was not quite the same. The World Conference four years ago was not as fierce as it is now. Now that the whole sea is in turmoil, most of the Marines need to temporarily withdraw their main force and escort those kings to the conference during the World Conference.
But now, the battle situation is in a deadlock and Marine’s battle line has been stretched too long, causing it to be difficult to act rashly now. The pirates have also been forced to shrink their battle line in the past year, causing them to no longer stick to their territory and become a traditional pirate.
In the beginning of a ship, everything depends on snatching.
With the powerful mobility and hiding ability of pirates, Marine has no effective way now, because they can’t gather together, it will return to the most traditional Marine catching pirates, which is a stalemate.
It was also because of this that the World Government decided to conscript their Marines to escort those kings.
The difference is that this time it is Grand Fleet escort, each person is responsible for a Grand Fleet, combined with the nearby kings, they form the safest force.
The mission given to Kuro by the higher-ups happened to be King David of Dressrosa, who he was more familiar with, and some of the surrounding kings who were qualified to participate in the World Conference.
With Kuro taking the lead and the Vice-Admiral under him as support, they went to Mariejois together.
Kuro doesn’t really care about this kind of thing. It’s enough for Crowe to plan it, he will be responsible for it.
“Sir General…”
Beside him, Baohuang was kneeling. At this time, she pressed her little hand on her temple and said, “Lady Leda is back.”
“Oh? Are you back…”
Kuro bit his cigar and blew a puff of smoke there.
After a while, the barrier was pushed and Leda, who was still in a little girl’s posture, rushed in excitedly. “Kulokuro! I’m back!”
She seems to want to pounce on me?
Kuro raised his eyebrows and said, “Go wash your hands first. You haven’t even washed the blood on your hands. What have you done!”
“Ah…”
Leda stopped and subconsciously looked at her hand. There was indeed blood on it.
“Well, when I came back, I met a pirate and he was a little difficult to deal with, so he was stained with blood,” Leda said.
As a Vice-Admiral and a powerful Vice-Admiral, Leda will of course go to war. The specific big-headed Kuro has almost been killed, and the remaining cats and dogs are of course not a problem. In order to prevent accidents, Kuro also asked Moore on Leda’s ship to run away with her if she is really in danger. But what makes Kuro proud is that Leda has not made any mistakes in the past year. She has basically come back successfully and no one can hurt her.
After all, it was on the sea, and the ability to develop Whitebeard’s power of vibration is unparalleled on the sea. Few people are her opponent.
“Go wash up first and then rest. We will go to Mariejois in a while.”
“Eh? Why are we going there again?”
“Oh,” Leda responded and ran to wash her hands.
“Royalty, contact Crowe. If he doesn’t come back, let him come back,” said Kuro.
“Yes, Your Excellency.” Baohuang responded and obediently retreated and ran to make contact.
Kuro blew out another mouthful of smoke, pinched the space between his eyebrows, and sighed. “It’s difficult…”
It was the World Conference again.
According to Kuro’s thinking, the World Conference this time should not be held. With the situation of the war at this level, there is no need to hold a World Conference. If we don’t end this war, it will be useless to hold any conference.
Kuro could predict that with the withdrawal of the main Marine force, there would be a new wave of chaos.
The higher-ups don’t seem to care much about this kind of thing. They must be thinking that the Basic Plate is very important. Tenryubito is more important than the Joining Nation is more important than the Pirates. As a Marine, they have to obey the orders of others.
Workers have a hard life.
