nWhat Ambitions Do You Have?

n‘As a Marine?’

nA black line appeared on Crowe’s forehead and he said coldly, “Don’t joke around, you can kill me if you want.”

n“I’m not joking. I’m serious.”

nKuro said, “There’s no future in being a pirate. Why don’t you come with me to be a Marine? You’ll get a salary and benefits and you’ll be safe.”

nLetting a pirate become a Marine, isn’t this a classic example of forcing a prostitute?

nCrowe, on the other hand, calmed down. He couldn’t beat this person in front of him. That slash just now was enough proof.

nHe was not a brainless idiot who would attack even though he knew that he could not win. If the other party wanted to kill him, there was no need to play other tricks.

n“What is your purpose?”

n“‘Hundred Strategies’ Crowe, your name has long been heard. I need your wisdom.”

nYou do know me.

nNeed my wisdom?

nCrowe looked Kuro up and down. Although this man was standing so casually, he could feel the power coming from inside and outside, just like the trembling of a low-level creature meeting a high-level creature.

nSuch a man needs his own wisdom? The wisdom of a pirate? What he wants to do, what is his purpose?

n“I am a pirate with a bounty.” Crowe made a final struggle.

n“A bounty of 16 million Berries, what does it matter? You are essentially ‘dead’, the wanted order has long been revoked. Besides, it is not unheard of for a pirate to be a Marine.” Kuro laughed.

nIt was not unheard of. At least, Kuro knew that his subordinate, Zangor, was exonerated and joined the Marine Corps.

nThat guy’s bounty is 9 million.

nNot to mention that Crowe has already been ‘caught’. According to ZF’s nature, it is impossible for them to admit that they made a mistake. Even if they recognized him, if Crowe had entered the Marine at that time, this matter would probably have been over.

nCrowe saw that Kuro had already made up his mind and he seemed to have no room for resistance, so he could only nod.

nNo matter what, he could live.

nCrowe wanted a peaceful life, not a peaceful death.

nThe patrol ship approached the Pirate Ship. Kaz and others were ready to engage in a boarding battle, but when they looked, they seemed to have fainted.

n“Warrant Officer, this is…” Kaz asked curiously.

n“If they were knocked out by the artillery, they would have fainted when I came.”

nKuro found a random reason, then pulled Crowe over and said, “This man is not bad. I want to take him back to Headquarters and let him serve Marine.”

n“Pirate? Warrant Officer, how can a pirate enter Marine?” Kaz was surprised.

n“Kaz, I didn’t want to, but he’s too pitiful.”

nKuro, who was already prepared, pointed at Crowe and said, “Look at him, doesn’t he look like a man?”

nHearing this, Cass looked at Crowe seriously and his eyes widened. ” ‘Hundred Strategies’ Crowe! Impossible, Crowe has been caught by Monca.”

nKuro said sadly, “In order to pay tribute to their Captain, the Black Cat Pirates found a very similar person to be their Captain. Look at him, this meticulous hair and round-framed glasses are exactly the same as Crowe, and even his name has been changed to ‘Chloe’, but in fact, he is just an ordinary person.”

nAsk him what he wants to do.”

n“I… I want a peaceful life. I’m tired of pirates fighting and killing.”

nKuro stared at him and said in a trance.

nThis is indeed his goal and his heartfelt words. It doesn’t sound fake at all.

nKaz was touched and wiped his tears. “It’s so sad! An ordinary person was forced to do such a thing. It’s so sad!”

nAfter hearing Kuro’s words, Kaz’s resistance in his heart disappeared. Then again, didn’t they also have a pink-haired little man in the 153rd Division? He had been in the pirate regiment for two years and joined the Marine.

nCrack…

nThe crack that was originally opened by the pirate ship gradually expanded.

n“The ship is going to sink, let’s get on the ship first, these pirates are on their own.” Kuro got on the Battleship first.

nHe couldn’t catch him. If he caught him, Crowe would be exposed.

nThe Black Cat Pirates have been very low-key for the past few years and have not done anything bad. Kuro can let them go as long as they can survive in this sea.

nCrowe inexplicably boarded the ship.

n… .

n“Chloe, I have a question to discuss with you.”

nIn the captain’s cabin, Kuro lit a cigarette and handed the cigarette box to Crowe. “Sit, don’t stand on ceremony.”

n“‘Hundred Strategies’ Crowe? Where did you get such a character? He’s a great pirate in East Blue.”

nLeda chewed on her potato chips and looked curiously at Chloë.

nEven a child knows about me?!

nCrowe felt that the past few years had been wasted.

nKuro said, “Now he is one of us. I have a question for you.”

nIs this guy starting to show his ambition?

nHe is clearly so strong, but he is only a Warrant Officer now. What is his purpose for staying in East Blue?

nTreasure?

nPower?

n‘The throne?’

nIf he wants to develop his territory, he needs to borrow his experience and wisdom as a pirate.

n“I have a friend…”

nKuro slowly said, “He is a Marine. Originally, he was staying in East Blue and he was very comfortable when he had nothing to do. But because of some accidents, I, no, my friend has been called to the Marine Headquarters. It is inevitable that he will go to the Headquarters, but is there any way to get him back to the Four Seas Branch safely, preferably to East Blue?”

nBack to East Blue …

nSo his ambition is in East Blue?

nAfter thinking for a while, Crowe said, “If you want to stay in East Blue…”

n“It’s my friend.”

nKuro corrected.

n“If your friend wants to stay in East Blue, this is completely up to Marine Headquarters. To be honest, I don’t know much about Marine’s mechanism, but no matter what, I suggest that you… your friend find a faction to join, and through the faction, the operation will let you return to East Blue.” Crowe said.

nMarines, of course, have their own factions. The three generals have their own factions. Sengoku, Tsuru, Karp, and others also have their own trusted subordinates. The famous Marines will find a faction that suits them.

n“But if I join a faction, will my superiors notice my… friend? But he doesn’t want to be famous and he doesn’t want to attract the attention of Headquarters because he is not very strong. If he is noticed, he will easily become cannon fodder.”

nLeda chewed her potato chips expressionlessly. “You are too modest. If you are cannon fodder, then what are we, scum?”

nKuro criticized, “Lida! It has only been a few days and you have changed. Where is your safety and your prudence? When you do things, you must be steady and 100% safe.”

nLida pursed her lips and refused to reason with this old dog.

n“I think your idea is good. I’ll think about it.”

nKuro nodded at Crowe with satisfaction. This man is much more reliable than Leda. At least he has constructive opinions.

nHe stood up and reached out to Crowe. “Welcome to Marine. Believe me, if you follow me, you will definitely live a peaceful life!”
