BXBX NOVEL Chapter 581
Kuro still doesn’t know that Headquarters is building his flagship in full swing.
He was now reclining on the office sofa with his legs crossed and a cigar in his mouth. He was holding a wine glass in one hand and reading a newspaper in the other, laughing from time to time.
“What are you laughing at?”
Smoker, who was sitting in the main seat, narrowed his eyes.
“Let me read it to you…”
Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and put the hand holding the glass into his mouth. He took a sip of wine and said:
“An old man was taking a walk and accidentally fell into the river at the side and shouted for help! Two Marines passed by and pretended not to see him. They were still talking and laughing as they walked. The old man was desperate and shouted, ‘Down with the World Government!’ When the two Marines heard this, they were shocked and hurriedly jumped into the river and dragged the old man ashore and handcuffed him.”
Smoker was speechless.
“What newspaper is this?” A vein appeared on his forehead.
“World News, that pigeon, the joke is good,” Kuro said.
He was reading the joke column.
A certain joke is a treasure of mankind. It is still useful in other countries and other worlds. It does not even need to be pointed out and it is automatically derived.
Probably because it is all capital and feudal.
“Hey! Kuro!”
Smoker shouted, “The mission is over. Why are you still here? Aren’t you going back to report? Also, you should have taken over G-3!”
After Virgo was killed, Smoker naturally became the biggest leader of G-5. Although he had not been appointed as the Base Chief, as long as Kuro returned, he was basically his.
His report had long been drafted and submitted, but he did not know much. Kuro did not say anything and only submitted what he saw truthfully.
“What’s the hurry? It’s rare for me to have paid leave. Let me have fun for a while.”
Kuro put down the newspaper and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He put it on the table and said, “Besides, I am here and I can help you get rid of some trouble. G-5, you haven’t completely mastered it.”
Unlike the memory plot of his previous life, at that time, Vergo was cut into pieces by Law, and there was direct evidence of a direct attack on Marine. With the combination of the two, Smoker could take over G-5 as soon as possible.
But now, Virgo died without knowing why. At least in the eyes of Smoker and the G-5 Marines, Virgo died without knowing why. There was no evidence.
Because Kuro didn’t say anything and when he came back, he told Vergo that he was killed by him, which made the G-5 Marines always resent Kuro.
Mr. Virgo!
The respected Mr. Virgo in their base, that gentleman, was killed by a golden ingot!
No matter who it was, they would feel indignant.
Kuro did not say it because for Smoker and the G-5 Marines, they did not need to know about this kind of thing. Vergo was a subordinate of Doflamingo. That was something that had to be reported to the higher-ups and decided by the higher-ups.
Although Kuro thinks that it will be left unsettled in the end.
That Flamingo did a lot of things for the World Government, including acting as a middleman to do the deal between the World Government and Yonkō (Four Emperors), as well as doing some dirty work that was inconvenient for the World Government. Coupled with his identity as a Dragon Person the day before yesterday and his identity as Shichibukai, Marines might not be able to do anything to him.
They were Marines and had to follow the rules of the game.
Unlike pirates, they can overturn tables at any time and place.
Of course, this also depends on the size of the pirates, such as Yonkō (Four Emperors). When the table is lifted, no one can do anything if they don’t play.
But the little pirate has to pay the price for flipping the table…
“Whatever, but I’m going to Thor Island to catch a man.” Smoker bit two cigars and said.
“Thor Island?”
Kuro froze. “Who is there?”
“Straw Hat Kid!”
Smoker gritted his teeth and said, “He will definitely choose Raytheon Island, an extremely dangerous island. I will arrest him there!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Kuro. “Speaking of which, he also escaped from you. It’s really interesting. One is at the end of East Blue and the other is at the end of Paradise. But why did you let him go?”
At the end of East Blue’s Roguetown, the Straw Hats escaped from his hands.
At the end of Paradise, the Straw Hats escaped from Kuro.
But at that time he was stopped by Dorag, but Kuro…
Other than going easy on him, he really couldn’t think of anything else.
Smoker’s words made Kuro’s face sink.
Garp, that old man, can’t come over and talk about it. It’s about Marine, unlike those willful people, he, Kuro, cares about the big picture.
But thinking about it, it was really a loss.
He left it there and put it in G-3 himself. Who could he reason with?
“Thor Island?”
Kuro narrowed his eyes. “Is it there? Forget it, play by yourself. I’ll take a break.”
“Don’t rest. If there’s nothing else, I have a proposal.”
Smoker stood up and said, “The sea area near G-5 has not been completely explored. If you are really free, why don’t you help me see the situation in the nearby sea area. Recently, there is a rumor that I care about. I was going to see it, but if you are there, you can do it better.”
“Since you’re going to waste time here, why don’t you find something to do? It makes sense.”
“That’s fine…”
When Kuro heard this, he nodded. “Otherwise, if I stay here every day, the Marines under you can’t wait to eat me. What rumors?”
Although he did not care, the resentful eyes of a group of Marines were quite annoying.
“Corutiga Islands, you know,” Smoker said.
“Well, an archipelago nearby, what happened to that island, did a pirate go out to sea?” Kuro asked.
“For pirates, it is much simpler.”
Smoker shook his head and said, “It’s not a pirate. It’s a lot of people who have disappeared mysteriously. It’s rumored that there are some demons there, but it has always been a rumor. There is no concrete evidence. If you are fine, help me take a look.”
“It’s not a pirate…”
Kuro bit his cigar and muttered, “Okay, then I will accept Vice Admiral Smoker’s request and take a look. This way, no one will say that I am staying here and not doing anything.”
He stood up and waved at him. “I’ll be there for about ten days and half a month. When Headquarters asks, they will say that I was entrusted by you. Don’t let it slip.”
With that, he left the office.
Smoker shook his head and said helplessly, “This lazy guy hasn’t changed in a few years… Well, I have no right to talk about people.”
He turned to look at the window and clenched his fists. “Straw Hat… I will catch you, I will!”
Be it reaching the New World or transferring to G-5, everything is to be closer to that man!
On the execution platform in Roguetown, the man with the same smile as One Piece!
