Marine Row (×) Pirate Attractor (☆)_1
After Salzir returned, the Marines turned over the treasures they had obtained to Kuro.
“Mr. Kuro, we seized three bags of treasure this time. There are a lot of gold coins, all from different countries, and some gold jewelry, but the overall purity is not very high. I brought all the gold jewelry with high purity. As for the rest, the valuation should be around 50 million Berries.”
With that, Crowe put down a small cloth bag and opened it. There were a few good-looking gold ornaments inside.
Gold is hard currency, at least in this world.
Bailey is also linked to gold.
“As usual, change it to money and give them a share, although it’s not much,” Kuro said.
50 million Berries, there are more than 3,000 people here, each person gets more than 10,000, it is better than nothing.
“Eh? There’s a crown.”
Leda got down from the sofa and picked at the cloth bag. She picked up a golden crown and put it on her head. She turned around to Kuro and said, “Do I look good?”
“That’s a dead man’s toy. If you want the throne, just let your brother abdicate.”
Kuro rolled his eyes and touched the gold jewelry on his earlobe. This thing had been broken before and it had been refilled. Leda didn’t know yet and she couldn’t let her know.
He moved his fingers and a golden necklace with gems in it floated up in front of Leda.
“This is good. Take it and play with it,” Kuro said.
“Oh, a necklace?”
Leda threw away the crown and grabbed the necklace floating in front of her. She grinned and said, “Kuro, is this considered a gift from you?”
“Take it and play with it first. If you have a chance, find a good accessory craftsman and give you a good one,” said Kuro.
“Oh.”
Leda played with the necklace in her hand as if she was not listening to Kuro. Her attention was on the necklace the whole time.
“Chloe, take the rest to the others and see what they like. Take them and play with them. These good quality ones are not for sale,” Kuro said to Chloe.
For Bailey, he had a lot. Pegasus Island made a lot of money, and half of Sabaody’s taxes were his.
Originally, he should have taken two-sixths and one-sixth for Sentomaru and three-sixth for the old man.
However, the old man was not interested in money. In the end, he only took Kuro’s share and handed his share to Kuro.
In fact, if Kuro had not forced him, he would not have asked for money.
But no matter what, since the old man supported him so much, he still had to pay him back.
He could ignore it, but he had to be polite.
Now, the only one who can live to show filial piety is the old man.
The others are now burning paper and burning incense.
After dealing with the Pirate Ship, the Golden Ship, Golden Lion, walked towards the Calm Belt from the Grand Line, preparing to return to the East China Sea.
It was impossible for him to let this ship go around Paradise. He could still travel when he came back, but now, he was busy going back to offer incense.
But the Grand Line is a broken place. Even if it has experienced the top victory, the world conscription, and the stability of the Marine, there are still many pirates.
Especially on the sea, when there is a huge golden ship sailing there, as long as pirates see it, they will inevitably come up to take a look.
No matter what kind of thoughts those pirates had, they had to come and see the gold.
Even if some pirates have already seen a pirate ship being sunk in front of them, they still want to try.
As the saying goes, try and die.
The pirates who discovered the Golden Ship rushed to the bottom of the sea…
… .
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
In the office, Kuro lay in a chair and listened to the cannon outside. A vein appeared on his forehead.
“What the hell!”
Kuro sat up and roared, “Don’t let me sleep! Crowe, Crowe!!”
Soon, Crowe appeared at the office door. He took a few shallow breaths and said, “Coming, Mr. Kuro.”
“What the hell is going on!”
Kuro pointed at the flames outside the window and roared with his blue veins showing, “Can’t you let me rest? What’s going on? Do the pirates think I’m a demon king? Warriors? They won’t stop until I tear down my ship?!”
How many days has it been?
None of them had reached the border of the Calm Belt. For a period of time, as long as they encountered pirates, there was no pirate that would not come over.
There were millions of small pirates and tens of millions of them. They were famous pirates in Paradise. As long as they saw the Golden Lion, they would come directly. Then, they would either be bombarded and sunk or be completely wiped out by the Marine cadres led by Kaz.
In that case, it was actually quite good, but…
It is very annoying!
“Are they blind! Can’t they see that this is a Battleship! This ship is the face of a Battleship!”
Kuro bared his teeth and said, “Aren’t you all afraid? Aren’t you afraid that I’m here? Are you all so tired of living? Huh?!”
At first, Kuro wanted to simply fly the ship again, but then he thought that he was afraid of pirates.
He is a Marine Vice-Admiral and a reserve Admiral. How can he be afraid of pirates in Paradise?
If this is Yonkō (Four Emperors), then forget it. He, Kuro, can’t afford to provoke this little pirate. If he is scared, then where will he put his face?
Initially, he thought that with so many people around, it would be easy to pick out the reckless pirates. This was the reality.
However, he was annoyed!
From morning to night, the gunfire almost never stopped.
When he slept at night, he could hear some cannon shots.
“Mr. Kuro…”
Crowe swallowed and said, “The Marine flag of the Golden Lion is very small, and… our ship is a golden ship, it is normal to attract greedy people.”
“Normal, normal my ass!”
Kuro said angrily, “It’s like this when I come to Paradise. If I go to the New World, those pirates will rush forward like dogs seeing shit! Bah, no, it’s like dogs seeing meat.”
The Golden Ship is impressive, but this ship is also a Pirate Attractor.
They don’t even know how many heads they have gotten. They are all ready to see where the Marine Branch is and exchange their heads for credit.
Crowe and the other colonels can’t be promoted, but Basil and the other captains can be promoted.
As for Ian, after Kuro talked to the old man last time, the Headquarters agreed to her re-employment as a colonel. Speaking of which, she seemed to be a scientist. After entering the ship, she applied for a research institute and went to tinker with things.
Bintz was a lieutenant colonel.
Originally, their NEO Marine Corps and a Brigadier General were caught by Mole and thrown into Impelton.
As a former colleague, of course the Headquarters would not let him die, but he had to be taught a lesson. After serving his sentence, Mole seemed to have said that he would see if he could be released.
Everyone has feelings for each other in the Marine Corps, so there is no need to make it so life and death. One lesson from Zephyr is enough.
