Fifth Vice-Admiral
That gaze… is invincible.
If Bruno was weaker, he might only think that Kuro’s eyes were too scary, but he was a ‘Superman’ who had practiced the Six Stances and could be considered a strong man, and he was more sensitive to the aura of a stronger man.
This man is very strong, stronger than the feeling Lucci gave him!
If he wants to kill me, I have no power to resist.
“What do you want to do?”
Bruno’s throat moved and he swallowed hard.
“Listen for yourself.”
Kuro’s ears twitched and he turned sideways, letting Bruno see the broadcast Den Den Mushi in the square.
As soon as he finished speaking, the central broadcast Den Den Mushi sounded. Sure enough, that idiot Spandam pressed the Demon Slayer Token.
“Demon Slayer… Order?”
Bruno’s pupils contracted and he roared, “How is that possible, that idiot officer!”
Demon Slayer Token, the national combat power of the World Government, will carry out indiscriminate attacks on an island marked on the map. Whether it is humans or animals, they will all disappear.
But when it is really implemented, it is actually different.
They had to see who they met.
A moderate general will let innocent people take refuge and only destroy the island.
The generals of the Radical faction were not spared.
Kuro had already forgotten which generals were coming. He only remembered that there were moderates and radicals. He could not guarantee which one would destroy the island before it was destroyed. As for moderates, he had no use for Bruno. They would get their own people on board.
But if it wasn’t, it would be troublesome.
Kuro said, “Bruno, this is why I’m looking for you. Your air door can effectively let people take refuge and send them to the Battleship of Demon Slayer. After this, what you do is your business.”
Bruno was silent for a moment. “I understand…”
He was now in an uninhabited complex. Kuro had specially brought him here to avoid being seen and save him trouble.
Bruno walked out of the complex and had just reached the square when a government man saw him and rushed over, asking with a trembling voice:
“Master Bruno, is it really the Demon Slayer Token?”
Brulo nodded and said in a deep voice, “Gather the civilians. I will wait for you at the port and let you take refuge.”
“Yes, understood. We will go and gather the civilians now!”
The government personnel saluted and called for people to go to the various buildings. They called the civilians one by one and went to the port together. As for the captured Shipwright and others, no one cared anymore.
Now it was more important to escape.
Half an hour later, the port was filled with people.
“Is everyone here?”
Bruno looked at the dark crowd and asked.
“Yes, sir. The civilians of the entire Judicial Island have been gathered. They are all here!”
A Marine reported.
Hearing this, Bruno looked at Kuro and said, “I’ve done everything I can.”
“Well…”
Kuro looked in the direction of the Gate of Justice through the port. The Island of Justice is the gateway of the first Gate of Justice, and this Demon Slayer Token is likely to be transferred from the headquarters.
Sure enough, he saw the outline of several huge warships from afar.
Vice-Admiral’s flagship!
A red dot suddenly appeared in Kuro’s eyes. He opened his Kenbonshoku (Observation) and went straight to those Battleships.
“Ah… it’s them, Mole, Burning Mountain, Strawberry, Doberman, Onigumo.”
Kuro closed his eyes and muttered, “All five veteran Vice-Admiral are here. It seems that they really came from the headquarters.”
Vice-Admiral, the difference in strength is too great, but these five, plus Dalmatian, are the elites of Vice-Admiral.
Putting Garp aside, the two Admiral Substitutes are not counted either. These six Vice-Admiral are the most experienced and strongest existences among the Vice-Admiral.
“That one, open the door and go over.”
Kuro pointed to Strawberry’s boat and said.
“Understood.”
Bruno pulled open the air door and plunged in. With his Kenbonshoku (Observation) perception, Bruno appeared on Stolobelli’s ship.
“Who is it.”
The Marines on the ship heard the door open and saw a figure appear in the air. They quickly raised their guns and asked.
“I’m Bruno from CP9. I heard about the Demon Slayer Order. The people on the island are innocent. Please let them take refuge.” Bruno looked at Strawberry and said.
Strawberry was stunned and nodded. “Let them come up.”
There was no need for Bruno to report back. Kuro said to those people, “Civilians enter this air door first, Marines and government personnel bring up the rear.”
The group entered the air door and reached Stolobelli’s Battleship.
This kind of huge Battleship is the largest Battleship of the Marine. The standing Marine alone has 800 to 1,000 people. With such a huge capacity, it is not a problem to install a civilian of the Judicial Island.
Besides, it’s not like one ship can hold it.
Except for Onigumo and Doberman’s Battleship, other Battleships can accommodate these people.
As for Onigumo and Doberman, the two radicals would probably not accept them, and Kuro did not expect them to.
In fact, Bruno did not need to go to other warships. There were three warships sailing over. They did not launch the Demon Slayer Order immediately but docked at the port and asked everyone to put down the ladder.
Bruro came out of the air door and looked deeply at Kuro. “My mission is completed… I’ll leave first.”
He closed the air door and disappeared from everyone’s eyes.
Kuro couldn’t be bothered with him. Such a silly guy, if he stayed with him any longer, he would get sick from anger.
“Let’s go to the ship.”
They got on Strawberry’s boat and settled down.
There is basically no one left on Judicial Island. No matter how much damage is done, it will only be the destruction of the island. The government is so rich that they can just rebuild it after destroying it.
Strawberry was a man with a long hat, a long beard, and narrowed eyes.
Before becoming a Vice-Admiral, he was Kizaru’s direct subordinate.
However, Strawberry did not know Kuro. It seemed that Kizaru did not say anything.
Good. The old man seems to keep his promise.
Kuro smiled with satisfaction and leaned against the deck, smoking a cigar and starting to slack off.
He had already saved her and it was through Bruno. He did not show anything.
CP9 will be blamed by Spandam after this incident and no one knows when he will come back. His coercion of Bruno to save people will not be exposed.
And he would not get involved in the subsequent mess.
A few elite Vice-Admiral did not take action, so why did he, a Warrant Officer, get involved in this matter?
He could not get involved.
This is because when they came to the Bridge of Hesitation, they said that no one below the rank of major should participate in it. The elite troops that besieged the Straw Hats were composed of Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel and Headquarters Colonel.
Kuro is a Headquarters Warrant Officer and Leda and Crowe are third-class soldiers. They are not qualified to participate in such an elite-level encirclement.
“But… it’s really strong.”
Kuro held the deck and watched the battle on the bridge.
Headquarters Colonel and Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel are not weaklings. They are the elites of the Marine Corps. Among them, there are a few metahumans who can actually be held back by the Straw Hat Gang and remain undefeated.
Compared to when he was in Roguetown, he has grown a lot.
