Troublesome Man
Kuro’s idea was doomed to fail. Ace ran away and never came back.
Isn’t this good? Only a fool would go against Whitebeard.
After collecting the money of the people knocked down by the two men, Kuro and others left.
Leda was a little worried before. She came to the East China Sea because the Grand Line was too terrible. To be honest, she had been very comfortable with Kuro during this time and even became dependent on him.
But when she thought of Whitebeard, her little face fell.
“Kuro, will you really protect me? I can eat so much and I don’t need to worry. Forget it, I’m going back to East Blue now. It’s good to be alone.”
On the way, Leda suddenly said.
There was a hint of longing in the depths of her eyes as she looked at Kuro.
Kuro would not be surprised if he promised her. That kind of thing… was not unheard of.
She was used to it.
At least he couldn’t burden Kuro.
“What are you thinking about all day long!”
Kuro sighed. “I am a Marine. Not to mention that you are still a Marine. Even in the past, you were a civilian if you did not commit a crime. Isn’t it natural for Marines to protect civilians?”
Leda pursed her lips and nodded heavily. She took a deep breath and suddenly said to Kuro solemnly, “I believe you. If you betray me, I will not forgive you!”
“Stupid child, what are you talking about? What forgiveness? Is it something you should think about at your age!”
In his previous life, at the age of 18, he was at the age of being innocent and carefree. Look at this world, there are many people who ran out to be pirates at the age of 16 or 17.
It was too f*cked up.
Like an old father, Kuro rubbed Leda’s head and ran away first.
“Kuro!”
Leda yelled angrily and chased after him, waving her fists.
Crowe looked at the two of them, pushed up his glasses, and followed them.
This kind of life is quite good. At least it is better than pirates, and I don’t have to worry too much.
On the way, they found a pawn shop and pawned the gold and silver jewelry donated by the Good Samaritan. They bought some snacks for Leda to fill her stomach and met the Marines who were looking for them and called them back.
Smoker sat on a broken wall and stared at the sea. After a moment of silence, he said, “Princess Vivi and Straw Hat are together. What do you think, Kuro?”
“There must be something wrong,” Kuro said.
“Speak English,” Smoker snapped.
“How would I know?” Kuro rolled his eyes.
“Clockdale…”
Smoker said slowly with a cigar in his mouth, “He is the only pirate in this country. The Straw Hats came here and their target must be him. Find Crocodile and everything will be clear.”
Why are you asking me if you have an idea?
Kuro’s lips twitched. “I say, Shichibukai is in the same camp as us. Why are you looking for him?”
That was Shichibukai, the kind of person he didn’t want to be involved with at all.
It was already so troublesome to encounter an Hawkeye. If he encountered another one, would he still be alive?
“I don’t have a good impression of Shichibukai, Kuro. No matter what they do, the nature of pirates is unchanged. And that man used to be very good at calculation. Nothing good will come out of staying in a country for a long time.”
Smoker stood up. “Go to the Rainland. I want to know the truth.”
Kuro shrugged and said nothing.
Smoker looked at him in surprise. “I thought you would object.”
“I am Marine, anything related to pirates must be dealt with.” Kuro said righteously.
In fact, he just wants to go to the Rainland to gamble and earn some capital. When the time comes, he will change his clothes and leave as soon as he sees the weather. Who will know him?
Just like that, the group set off to the Rainland. As soon as they reached the Rainland, Kuro flashed first.
This time, he didn’t bring anyone. Although he comforted Leda before, she was obviously a little arrogant and started to cause trouble.
Causing trouble, that would be terrible!
Just in case, he still didn’t bring anyone with him. For this, he even handed the [Hua Zhou] to Crowe.
After all, the knife came from someone else’s cadre. It would not be good if he was recognized.
He deliberately changed into a suit, brought a pair of sunglasses, and put on a fake beard. The big gold chain and gold watch he left behind from the previous robbery came in handy.
Because of this, Kuro’s walking posture became swaggering, his hands in his pockets and his footsteps opened and closed, just like Doflamingo.
He was an arrogant nouveau riche.
Not to mention his colleagues, even if his parents in his previous life didn’t recognize him, they would probably treat him as a son.
Kuro went to gamble while Smoker and his group began to inquire in the rain.
In a secret office in Vegas, a woman in a white sexy suit and a small white hat smiled and said to the man sitting there:
“The very interesting Straw Hat and Vivi are here. The strange thing is that Marines are also here, and the leader is Smoker.
“Smoker…”
Crocodile put the cigar in his mouth and said in a deep voice: “He has hated me for a long time. Don’t worry about it. Shichibukai and the government are on the same side. If he keeps pestering us, let him die unexpectedly. What do you think, Nico Robin?”
“Didn’t we agree not to call him by that name? That being said, there is a troublesome person that we have to pay attention to.”
Robin chuckled and said, “That person’s name is Crowe. I heard it and looked at it with my ability. That man has a famous knife hanging on his waist. That knife belongs to our Mr. 11. It’s said that he was captured by Marines, so it should be him. He is praised by Hawkeye as the man who can impact his world throne.”
“Chloe?”
Crocodile’s face sank. “Ah… I have heard of him. He is a Marine, but he is in East Blue.”
“Isn’t it normal for a man like that to come to Grand Line?” Robin said.
“It’s a problem…”
Crocodile certainly knew the strength of Hawkeye. Although he was not afraid, it would be very troublesome to let this man, who was praised by Hawkeye, cause trouble.
“The plan is approaching and there can be no accidents. If Marine really finds trouble… I will deal with it myself!”
Crocodile stood up, narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, “For this, even if the rain is gone, it is worth it!”
“Achoo!”
Crowe sneezed, somewhat inexplicably. “Who’s talking about me?”
“It’s so boring. Kuro went to play without me.” Leda pouted and kicked stones in boredom.
Tashigi was commanding the Marines to search for the Straw Hats that they had just encountered. Smoker had gone after them and no one knew where he went.
… .
“Big!”
In the casino, Kuro placed all his chips on it.
“Open, big!”
The staff opened the dice and shouted.
Kenbonshoku (Observation) is used to gamble, and it is always successful.
Kuro had never lost before, and in order to not attract attention, he would leave after winning once and then go to other projects to play.
However, because he had never lost before, many people noticed this situation and followed Kuro to prepare for it, which made Kuro very helpless.
“It’s almost time. If I win, I will have 30 million. I can stop now.”
Kuro was about to change the chips and leave when a loud bang spread.
BOOM!!!
The hall shook.
“Earth… Earthquake!”
The guests panicked and began to flee, and the entire hall became a mess.
Kuro held the chips and looked around the empty hall. He said to the staff member who was also panicking, “Um… Can I continue?”
Now that everyone has left, it’s time for him to show his strength!
