Chapter 693
My Snacks Are Gone Again
It was normal to cut Jack into pieces. This is how you deal with the Zoological Department.
The strength of the Zoological Department is in their physique and their resilience is amazing.
At the level of Awakening, he became an unkillable monster.
The Jailer Beasts in Imperton are some animal idiots who failed to awaken.
But even idiots can’t be easily killed after awakening.
After all, awakening had nothing to do with strength.
Jack is one of Kaido’s Three Disasters. Even if he has not awakened, he is not far from it.
But Kuro estimated not yet. After all, this guy seemed to be old and huge, but he was not even thirty years old.
However, his recovery ability cannot be underestimated.
If he can’t be killed, he will recover sooner or later.
And …
“Merman? Half-Merman?”
Kuro recalled the face he showed when he broke Jack’s metal jaw helmet. There were clearly fangs and gills.
He was probably a Half-Merman. If he had been a little more playful at that time, Jack might have survived if he had simply sunk into the sea.
Still …
Kuro exhaled smoke and said arrogantly to the sea, “Your boss beat me up badly back then. If I can’t beat Kaido, I can deal with you.”
When he met Kaido back then, it was as if he had met a ghost. When he met Lingling, he didn’t meet Kaido as exaggeratedly.
After all, after such a long time, his strength is also increasing, and he is not so timid when he meets Lingling.
But at that time, he was still a weak, pitiful, and helpless Marine.
As soon as he got rid of Whitebeard, Kaido chased after him in the sky. If the old man hadn’t arrived in time, he would have been lying in bed for half a year, even with Leda.
In terms of shadows, Charlotte Lingling’s shadow is not as big as Kaido’s.
On the deck, Sengoku looked at Kuro standing on the sea and laughed. “This kid is much stronger.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Crane’s mouth. “Compared to when he first joined, he is much stronger and his fruit ability is much more proficient. I remember that he just got the fruit not long ago.”
Sengoku nodded and said, “There was intelligence in the East China Sea in the past. The news of those floating islands landing in the East China Sea stopped two years ago. If Shiki was in the East China Sea at that time, I’m afraid that was the time when Kuro got the fruit.”
“It’s only been two years and the ability of the fruit has been perfectly controlled. This kid is now very powerful.”
“It is very good.”
Crane agreed. “His personality is also very good. He is cunning when he needs to be, brave when he needs to be, and not so stubborn.”
In the past, they thought very highly of Kuro, but now, it is equivalent to placing Kuro in the position of the future leader.
After all, most of their generation has retired. Although Sakasugi’s generation is in their prime, they can’t find a good successor.
Although Yixiao and Green Bull are not bad, they are not on our side after all. They are temporary members and they are not young anymore.
If Kuzan was here, they would not be too worried. Kuzan could wait until the younger generation, such as Smoker and Tina, grew up and then they would pass them on.
Perhaps when Smoker and others take over, their means and strength can be improved, but they may fall and it will not be so stable.
Compared to the situation of the sea, Smoker is still not enough.
Kuro reassured them. With the existence of this man, Marine’s state will not have any accidents for at least the next 50 years.
“What are you talking about?”
After waiting for the whirlpool to twist for a while, Kuro left the sea and flew into the deck of the Golden Lion. As soon as he came, he saw Sengoku and Crane whispering.
“Well done.”
Sengoku laughed. “Kuro, your strength has improved a lot. That is a drought. In the words of Polusalino…”
He imitated Kizaru and put on a smiling face. “It’s so scary.”
Kuro rolled his eyes. “Sang Sengoku, you have become… much younger after retirement.”
“You can just say that he is an old child. You don’t have to give him face.”
Tsuru glared at Sengoku and said, “But compared to that time, he is indeed much stronger, or is he not hiding anymore?”
Kuro’s lips twitched.
‘Hidden?’
He had given up on the idea after Sakasugi blew up his dark history that day.
He wants to hide it, but the key is that you all know it.
Hiding my ass.
The premise of concealment is that he is still a small Marine.
He is already a reserve general, what is there to hide? It is ridiculous.
What’s the point of hiding him?
Can he be demoted by hiding it?
He can remove me from the Admiral Substitute?
Or can I be sent back to the first half of the Grand Line?
He might as well think of another countermeasure.
In any case, he could not be promoted now. If the old man did not retire, he would not be able to go up. When the old man retires, there will be at least a decade or two left. He still has a chance.
What? What if the old man retires?
No what ifs!
He, Kuro, will also put the old man on it!
Although the sea is dangerous, I can fly. In addition, I am usually careful not to make any big mistakes. There should be no problem.
If you encounter an unknown ability user, just kill them from afar without giving them a chance.
As for the known …
Float-Fruit has a lot of escape methods. Besides, he still has something in the sky.
“Put it in the newspaper tomorrow, Kuro, you…”
“Stop!”
Kuro instantly became alert and looked at Crane. “Granny Crane, what report?!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t say that you did it. That’s the calculation of the Marine. For the outside world, we call it Marine. Unless we want to be a model for publicity, like Garp, we won’t announce the specific details to the outside world.” Crane smiled and said.
This made Kuro relieved. He was a little afraid of Sakasugi.
That was a public execution in front of the entire Marine.
Although it is also an internal announcement, which internal announcement is as exaggerated as his?
Isn’t Jiji and Jiyuan very low-key?
Tsuru is talking about a system that a normal Marine should have. Or rather, since Zephyra’s family was killed, most of the Marine’s credit is calculated as much as possible internally in addition to the code name. In the outside world, they are just called by the code name or Marine in general unless it is really necessary.
The port incident that Kirby and Law caused together was considered a typical case.
But for Kuro, it was too early for Kirby to bear this fame.
“You brat, you think too much.”
Crane said, “Of course we know what to do. After all, that is Yonkō (Four Emperors). You killed Jack…”
“What Jack? How can there be Jack? Don’t think that you can speak freely just because you are an old man. I didn’t do anything, I don’t know who Jack is.” Kuro immediately said.
“Okay, okay, okay. Anyway, that’s it.” Crane smiled helplessly.
How could he report to Kuro alone about killing Jack? That would not be giving Kuro fame, it would be harming him.
Kuro’s fame doesn’t need a mere Three Disasters to increase.
On the contrary, if the details were published in the newspaper, it would only make Kaido remember him.
Kuro was thinking the same thing. If he did it again, Kaido would probably find a chance to kill G-3.
This guy’s IQ is not low. He is not afraid of thieves, but he is afraid of thieves. If he keeps thinking about this, will he still want his G-3?
But he can’t let Jack go because of this…
Who asked him to be so weak?
If he could withstand a little bit of the slash and resist his kraken and hide without dying, wouldn’t he not die?
Jack was gone, and so was the Pirate Ship. Of course, there was no need to clear any pirate casualties. The few of them dispersed and returned to their positions.
Kuro returned from the deck to the interior of the fortress on the Golden Lion. As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw Leda standing at the door with an aggrieved expression.
“Kuro…”
“What’s wrong?”
Kuro raised his eyebrows. “Who bullied you?”
However, in the next moment, he saw Leda holding something familiar in her hand.
A cantaloupe-shaped fruit full of spiral patterns…
“I almost ate it,” she said resentfully. “My snacks are gone again.”
