Wait, Wait!
It was impossible to pretend that they did not exist. Kuro had not been shopping with Leda for long when the call came.
“Oh, I picked up the wrong phone just now. I think you should have arrived at Water Seven. I’ll give you an address. Go there and someone will receive you.”
Snap.
Kuro still hung up and didn’t say anything to this old man.
He smacked his lips and said, “I don’t understand what this has to do with you.”
Hades, Water Seven, CP9, Carrera…
If Kuro remembers correctly, the World Government should be responsible for this kind of thing. Aokiji should assist from the side. After all, he gave the Demon Slayer Token to Spandam.
But what does this have to do with Kizaru? Why did he have to interfere?
“Perhaps… the Admiral wants to give you a chance to advance?” Crowe thought for a while and said.
“Yes?”
Kuro looked at him and felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Promotion opportunity?
Kuro was stunned. He turned his head and thought that if this matter was not because of the protagonist group’s halo outbreak and he dealt with it according to the thinking of ordinary pirates, he might have succeeded. At that time, even if he didn’t do anything, he would probably be forcibly promoted for escorting hostages.
Kuro gritted his teeth and said, “The old man has bad intentions and hasn’t given up the idea of using me as a tool.”
“Aren’t we going?” Leda asked.
“Go, this is the only chance. It wasn’t easy for me to get this damn old man’s freedom of action. I have to make contact with him no matter what. I’m just going to make contact.”
In any case, according to the plot, it will definitely fail. He is not prepared to take action, so this matter will definitely go as he wishes.
You want me to get promoted?
No way!
The few of them headed to the address Kizaru mentioned. It was a bar. It was daytime and there were fewer people. A strong man with bull-horned hair was silently wiping glasses.
Seeing that a few Marines had come, the strong man was silent for a while before saying word by word, “Please wait.”
Bruno.
CP9 Special Agent, currently opening a bar in Water 7.
He was also the target of Kuro’s contact.
Kuro shrugged and found a place to sit down like a normal tourist.
“Give us some wine and get her some drinks.” He pointed at Leda.
“I am an adult!” Leda pouted.
“When you become an adult, you will become an adult. Look at you, do you look like an adult? You eat more than anyone and sleep longer than anyone. Be good and go drink a drink!” Kuro rolled his eyes at her.
“I want to drink, I want to drink.” Leda slapped the table randomly.
“That’s why I don’t think he looks like an adult.” Kuro patted his forehead and sighed.
“Petty!” Leda curled her lips and gave up the idea when she saw that Kuro was really not accurate.
“Wine, and drinks.”
Bruno stood next to them like a ghost, put the tray down and went back to the front desk as if he didn’t know them.
He did not know them.
It was getting late and dusk was coming. The bar became lively.
“Bruno, give us a glass of wine!”
Before he got close, Kuro heard a rough voice.
A man with blond hair and goggles on his head walked in with two people beside him.
One of them had a pigeon on his shoulder, wearing a boatman’s clothes, and his eyes were indifferent.
The other had a long square nose. When he saw him, Kuro thought of Pinocchio.
“Oh… Barry, are you on credit again?”
Bruno asked slowly, wiping his glass.
“Don’t be stingy, Bruno. There’s no salary. Buy me a drink, or your treat, Lucci.”
Barry put his hand on Lucci’s shoulder and smiled.
Lucci said nothing, but the pigeon on his shoulder fluttered. “Poor man, poor man.”
“Hey! It’s just one cup, you don’t have to do this,” Barry said angrily.
“Hahaha, because Barry, you are a poor man.”
Long Nose laughed.
“Kaku!” Barry’s face was a little red and he roared.
“Let this old man treat you.” Kaku patted Barry’s shoulder and smiled. At the same time, he also glanced at Kuro.
Lucci and others didn’t come to Kuro at all. They just had a few drinks at the bar and chatted for a while before leaving.
There were still a lot of people in the bar until the crowd gradually cleared, leaving only Kuro and others at the table. Bruno came over and put away the empty glasses of Kuro and others and said gently, “We don’t need weak people, weak people, they are in the way.”
Is he… rejected?
Coulot stared at Bruno.
Bruno was silent for a moment under his gaze. “If you want to report it, then go ahead.”
Suddenly, Kuro reached out.
Bruno clenched his fists, ready to teach this little Marine a lesson, but his hand was held by Kuro.
“Don’t worry!”
Kuro held his hand tightly, his smile almost crooked.
“We will leave immediately and will not cause you any trouble!”
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Unexpectedly, CP9 did not like them.
Come to think of it, Judicial Island and Headquarters are both part of the World Government and belong to the same level concept, not a superior and a subordinate. They don’t need Marines and can completely refuse.
This was a good thing for Kuro.
He did not even need to get involved.
This was not him taking the initiative to retreat, it was him who did not want him.
“Lida, stop eating. Crowe, help me clean up the bar. I’ve been eating and drinking here for half a day for nothing. I have to show my appreciation.”
Why me again …
A black line appeared on Crowe’s forehead. He stood up helplessly and began to clean up the mess on the table.
Bruno watched as Chlo? busied herself and was silent for a while before suddenly turning and walking towards the back of the bar.
Kuro did not care either. In his opinion, this CP9 was tired of them and did not want to see them.
When Crowe finished cleaning up, Bruno rushed backstage.
“Little brother, I’m done cleaning up for you. Thank you for your hospitality today. I’m sorry for disturbing you. Next time if you need me, don’t trouble me, I’ll do it for you.”
Kuro waved at him happily.
“Wait…”
“Huh? Is there anything else?” Kuro turned around and asked.
Bruno nodded. “Just now, we discussed it. Although you can’t participate directly, you can join the troops. There’s a Marine Captain who’s already on the way to Water 7. I told you to join his troops.”
“???”
Kuro was stunned. “What do you mean?”
“Your mission will be completed and you will not be scolded.” Brulo nodded solemnly.
“Wait, wait! My… my mind is a little confused.”
Kuro blinked a few times and said, “You mean, you just went to the phone and then asked us to join a Marine Captain’s unit and help you complete the mission together? Is that what you mean?”
Bruno nodded and smiled. “You’re good Marines.”
What the hell!
Kuro was furious. “You are too inhumane! You should have discussed it with me before you took action. You just ran to report alone and then put us in the army. I was kind enough to help you clean up the bar, and this is how you repay me?!”
He was just thinking about going back to report to Kizaru tomorrow. He would throw the blame on CP9 and return to East Blue after taking the Battleship.
“I cleaned it up…” Crowe said weakly.
