nBanquet

nIn a luxurious-looking restaurant in Marien Vando, Kuro led a wave of people in.

nLeda, Crowe, Sentomaru, Smoker, Daski, Tina, Zango, Finbodi, Kirby, Berumeber.

n“Lida, I allow you to eat freely today. Order whatever is expensive. Don’t worry, someone will pay.”

nKuro touched Lida’s head and said.

n“Oh! Really? I didn’t eat enough just now.” Leda cheered.

nSeeing this scene, Smoker’s eyelids jumped.

n“Hey, Tina, lend me some money later.”

nHe leaned over to Tina and whispered.

n“Tina is surprised.”

nTina looked at Smoker in surprise. “You actually know how to borrow money. You are a little more tactful than before, Smoker, no, Brigadier Smoker.”

n“Shut up, just borrow money.” Smoker blushed.

nDuring the battle of Crocodile, Smoker and Tashigi were both promoted one level. Smoker is now a Brigadier General and Tashigi is a Second Lieutenant.

nThe treatment of a brigadier general should be the kind that is so good.

nHowever, no matter how good the treatment was, it was hard to say if he would encounter a big-bellied king who was also a big-bellied king who was cured by Kuro.

nLooking at Smoker’s ashen face, Sentomaru still did not understand.

nFood… How much can it cost.

nThe group found a large private room.

nKuro looked at the menu handed over by the waiter and pointed to a few dishes. “These, no.”

nHearing this, Smoker was relieved. Fortunately, Kuro still gave him face.

n“Give me three rounds of the other dishes first.”

nThud!

nSmoker’s head hit the table.

n“Well, it’s not enough. There’s still wine. More wine, today… to celebrate my promotion.” Kuro lit a cigar and looked like a big shot.

nAnyway, he didn’t need to spend money.

nBesides, the people of this world have a big appetite.

nEveryone here is a Marine of Headquarters, and they are no worse than others when it comes to eating.

nThe last three rounds were just appetizers.

n“Tina is very happy. It has been a long time since I attended such a party. Smoker, the last time was when the two of us drank too much.” Tina smiled with a cigarette in her hand.

nSmoker polished the match and lit the two cigars in his mouth. “Of course Marines have to relax sometimes. We are not machines.”

nTina looked around, her eyes surprised.

nAlthough the people here are not high-level, they surprisingly represent various factions.

nShe herself has a good relationship with Crane and belongs to his faction.

nSmoker represented Aokiji.

nKuro and Sentomaru represent Kizaru.

nKirby and the others represented Garp.

nIn the Marine, most of the famous generals are here.

nTina ran into Smoker when she dropped Coop off at the back of Justice Island. She heard from Smoker that Kuro was already Kizaru’s direct subordinate, and she was surprised.

nBut when he came back to his senses, the current situation was more surprising.

nSentomaru was a little nervous. It was his first time attending such a gathering. In the past, he was only protecting Vegapunk in the Scientific Force, but this was his first time eating with a Marine colleague.

nIt was also the first time for Kirby and Beru Maybo. Kirby was sitting upright, but Beru Maybo was not too nervous.

nBut he was also a little nervous.

nThe people in front of him were not small characters.

nSentomaru was said to be Kizaru’s subordinate.

nTina and Smoker are both Marine Admiral majors.

nKuro is also a Marine Major.

nThey were all Marine Admiral Schools.

n“I have always firmly believed that Mr. Kuro will definitely become a Marine Admiral!”

nKirby clenched his fists and said excitedly, “Congratulations, Mr. Kuro.”

n“Haha…”

nKuro’s mouth twitched and he suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to be one of the people who tricked him.

n“The Old Marine is different, he is actually a Major, but Kuro, I will chase after him immediately!”

nBeelzebub, who is still Head of Cao, spoke with conviction.

n“Me too!”

nKirby looked hopeful. “Sooner or later, I will surpass Mr. Kuro and then I will also become a Marine Admiral!”

nHe can compete with Kuro. As long as he works harder, he will definitely surpass Mr. Kuro.

nCrowe pushed his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end, he held it in.

nThe dishes were quickly served and filled the table.

nRaising her hand, Kirby looked at the wine glasses on Leda’s dining table and asked, “Um… can Miss Leda drink it too? How about some juice?”

n“Who are you looking down on!”

nLeda immediately transformed into a girl and slammed the table, saying angrily, “I’m older than you.”

n“Sorry! Miss Leda!” Kirby immediately shrank his neck.

n“Drink it…”

nKuro thought for a moment and said, “The current Mariwando can still relax.”

nNo one else reacted to this, but Smoker and Tina looked at each other.

nSure enough, Kuro also knew what happened next.

n“To celebrate Mr. Kuro’s promotion!”

nKirby was the first to raise his glass and act as a person who livened up the atmosphere.

nNext came Beru Merber.

nZangor and Finbodi.

nThen, a group of people raised their glasses and drank together.

n“Woo… Wow!”

nLeda drank the wine in one gulp and breathed a long sigh of relief. Her eyes lit up.

n“Is it good?”

nKuro looked at her, giving people the feeling that he was ready to call Juice if something was wrong.

nLida nodded vigorously. “There is a refreshing feeling in one breath!”

nKuro smiled and picked up a piece of meat on his plate with a fork and chewed it.

nNext, he poured himself another glass. The clear wine swirled in the transparent glass and he drank it in one gulp.

nThe wine in this restaurant is indeed refreshing.

nVery relaxed.

nUnlike in a small place, in the Headquarters, if you don’t want to go to war, then it is indeed very relaxing.

nAfter a few drinks, everyone gradually let go.

n“Brewel Maybo, actually he has changed a lot. He used to be a young master in the 153rd branch, but I have never seen him. Mr. Kuro, do you know what he used to look like?”

nAfter a few drinks, Kirby’s face was obviously red.

n“Hey, Kirby, don’t talk about my ugly things, or I will tell others about the things you used to do on the Pirate Ship!” Berumeber shouted.

nPirate Ship …

nCrowe and Zangoo’s hands holding the wine glasses trembled slightly and they looked at each other.

nZangor raised his cup and shouted, “Captain, we are all Marines now. You are no longer my Captain!”

n“Huh?” Crowe looked over.

nZangoo trembled in fear and swallowed his saliva, not daring to move.

n“Call me Ensign, asshole,” Crowe said lightly.

n“Hahaha, yes, Ensign!”

nZangor raised his cup and clinked it with Crowe’s.

n“Oh? There are three pirates here?”

nThe hand holding the wine glass paused slightly and looked at the three people. “Kuro, your men used to be pirates? Or Captain?”

n“Ah… but I quit three years ago. Anyway, the bounty has been withdrawn. Speaking of which, it’s a coincidence. Crowe, the person who caught your fake body just happens to be Beru Maybo’s father, my old boss, Monca.”

nKuro smiled at Crowe. “After capturing you, Monka was promoted to a colonel bit by bit.”

n“I have heard of that man. He is a very dominant colonel in East Blue.”

nSmoker finished the cup in one go and looked at Beru Maybo. “Is that your father? He made a scene in East Blue and was stopped by Kuro. I heard that he escaped from Vice-Admiral Garp.”

n“Hahahaha…”

nBeru Membo was sweating profusely as he looked up and laughed. “It’s all in the past, the past.”

nHe felt that the situation was not good.
