The Wrath of Princeps
These words made Leda and Crowe’s faces change.
“I’m hungry, let’s go eat!”
Leda made an excuse to slip away.
Bang!
At this moment, the sliding door was closed.
Kuro let go and his face was terrifyingly dark. “No one is allowed to leave.”
He glanced at everyone and then said to Donald, “Tell me why you know and why it is published in the newspaper.”
“Yes?”
Donald was stunned and asked curiously, “Brigadier General Kuro, don’t you know?”
I know nothing about der!
Kuro resisted the urge to complain and said, “What the hell is going on! Crowe!”
He glared at Crowe as if he wanted to skin him alive.
Crowe shuddered under the glare. “Well, no, I was going to say today that you didn’t give me a chance.”
With that, he took three steps forward and took out the newspaper he had collected and laid it flat on Kuro’s table. Then he stepped back and said with sweat on his forehead, “Mr. Kuro, we found this thing too late.”
On it, it happened to be the photo of him killing Ledfield and North Blue’s Vinsmoke Quadruple Slash.
Kuro’s eyes seemed to have been pierced and he couldn’t bear to look at it.
Especially the title, which made it impossible to read.
“Marine Hero killed Lonely Red? Who is the hero, who is the fucking hero!”
Kuro angrily pointed at the newspaper with his hand and hit it hard, as if even the table was going to be pierced!
Then, he leaned back in his chair and looked up like a salted fish that had lost its soul. Then, he thought of something and pulled himself together.
He took out a cigar box and took out a cigar. He held the cigar between his fingers and trembled as he gestured. “It doesn’t matter. The four kings promised me that they would not expose this matter. This must have been secretly taken by some unknown war correspondent. Damn it, it was actually taken so clearly!”
“Mr. Kuro…” Crowe hesitated.
“Brigadier General Kuro, this is the joint statement of the four kings of North Blue!” Donald said curiously, “Why do you say that the four kings will not be exposed? Such a good thing should be publicized.”
Kuro was speechless.
He looked at the newspaper again and saw the words ‘Four Kings Joint Declaration’ at the bottom of the newspaper.
Kuro spun his cigar in his hand again and said, “No, as long as the Vinsmoke family complains, everything will be fine.”
At this moment, Leda glanced at Crowe.
Crowe pursed his lips and said, sweating, “Mr. Kuro, Vinsmoke…”
“Didn’t Vinsmoke and others already complain? I heard about it. Because of this matter, Marshal Akainu and Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) had a big fight on the phone. In the end, they still didn’t reach an agreement, so Marshal Akainu went to Mariejois again,” Donald said.
With these words, the office fell silent.
Kuro’s fingers slowly stretched out, trembling like epilepsy, and he said slowly: “Lida and Crowe stay, the others, get out.”
The group received the order and walked out of the office.
With a bang, the door closed, and Kuro immediately roared: “I clearly communicated! I clearly communicated! This week, this month, I thought nothing happened! I was so happy, why, why did you let me know this news, ah!!!”
It was so loud that it could be heard outside the office.
“Mr. Kuro…”
Kaz shed tears. “Are you humiliated because of this? Yes, it’s just Ledfield. How can you prove Mr. Kuro’s will by spreading it so widely? He’s just an old guy!”
“I think so too!”
Donald nodded. “Although Lonely Red is a powerful person, not many people have heard of him. When I traveled to various countries as a Ranger, I only heard his name occasionally. He is not worthy of being listed in legends like Roger Whitebeard and Golden Lion. Brigadier General Kuro should have known about this long ago. He must be so angry because this newspaper has promoted him too much. Ah… He is indeed a modest and real man!”
‘Is that right?’
Basil nodded subconsciously, but then immediately shook his head.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he did not know what was wrong.
“Everyone is lying to me, even the king who promised me, and you! Why didn’t you say it earlier!” Kuro shouted at them.
“Mr. Kuro, I’ve always wanted to say it earlier, but seeing that you’re in such a good mood, I can’t bear to ruin your mood. In addition, you also ordered that all phone calls and news should not be notified.” Crowe spoke very quickly.
Kuro left his seat and roared at Crowe: “Bullshit!! Good-for-nothing!! Scum!!!”
“Mr. Kuro, isn’t this a little…” Crowe pushed up his glasses and said awkwardly.
“I’m so angry!!”
Kuro slammed the cigar on the table, leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths. He continued, “I usually let you guys come up with ideas, but you’re the first one to do it, huh?! It’s such a big thing, but you don’t even give me a way to solve it. Don’t you eat it every day!”
He glared at Leda.
“It means wandering around the town!”
He glared at Crowe again.
“What’s the solution? What’s the solution? Do you know what Ledfield represents?! The Red of Solitude! Do you know what’s going on in this department now!? It’s too late! I may be promoted directly! I will go to the New World!!”
He pounded his chest and said, “I came to Hebei Province… No, I came to West Blue for my ambition, my long-cherished wish! Not to show my achievements to Headquarters here!”
He took a few more breaths and sat back in his chair, trembling. “He… those kings, why are they so bold? Why do they dare to ignore my threat!”
“Maybe… I misunderstood.” Crowe pursed his lips.
“I will fly directly to North Blue and smash those islands!” Kuro roared.
“Ha… Ha…”
After saying this, Kuro took a few more breaths and calmed down.
He picked up the cigar shakily and held it in his mouth. He lit it with a lighter several times before lighting it.
“Hu…”
He leaned back in his chair and exhaled a mouthful of smoke, remaining silent for a long time.
After roaring, he finally calmed down a little.
Of course, it was impossible to smash it. He was just angry just now. If he really smashed the island because of this, he would really be crazy.
However, things could not be left unresolved.
“Give me a plan, Young Masters and Young Ladies.”
Kuro said to the two of them, “I beg you, come up with a plan. How can I minimize the impact of this matter?”
“Chewing…”
“Shut up!”
Kuro interrupted Leda and glared at her. “If you say such old words again, your lunch today will be gone.”
“Hmph, I can go out to eat,” Leda said without fear.
“When will you let me save my energy?” Kuro said helplessly.
