nAkainu Smiling at Me

nKizaru took Kuro to the port and boarded a Battleship.

n“Kizaru, you’re here, hahahaha.”

nAs soon as he walked onto the deck, a cheerful laugh came from the opposite side.

nGarp held the shell in his hand and greeted Kizaru while eating. Then he saw Kizaru standing behind Kizaru.

n“Oh… this little brother looks very familiar.”

nKuro’s lips twitched as he saw Garp’s expression.

nDo I believe you?

nDidn’t you already know about me, you old idiot?

nKuro pursed his lips and greeted Kapp. “Vice-Admiral Kapp, it’s our first time meeting. Please guide me.”

n“Hahaha, a polite junior!” Garp raised his head and laughed.

n“Yo, long time no see.”

nAt this moment, a thin and tall figure walked behind him and waved at him.

nAokiji, Kuzan.

n“Speaking of which, Kizaru, will you bring your adjutant to the meeting?”

nAn old lady came over and said slowly to Kizaru, and then looked at Kuro, “Luciru Kuro, I have heard your name for a long time. This is the first time I have seen you. You look like a good young man.”

nCrane …

nAnd …

nKuro looked up and saw a man on the second deck with his arms crossed, letting the wind stir his cape. The man was wearing a Marine hat and was looking at him.

nAkainu, Sakasugi.

nWhen Kuro looked at him, their eyes met. Akainu smiled at him with approval.

nAkainu smiled at me?

nIt must be an illusion. I don’t seem to have any interactions with him.

nMoreover, he and I can’t pee in the same pot, we are not the same kind of people.

nKuro smiled politely at everyone and then stood obediently behind Kizaru. In such a big scene, it was better to speak less.

nThe warship left the port and headed for its destination.

nThe headquarter is very close to Sabaody Archipelago, and the Battleship will sail there in a few hours.

nThis Battleship is the most advanced Battleship in Headquarters, the kind where 1,000 people cannot stand on the deck and there are many facilities inside.

nKuro was eating with these big shots in a big room.

nIn addition to the three Generals and Garp and Crane, there are also a few Rear Admiral and Vice-Admiral.

n“Sengoku is already in Mariejois. Seriously, I have to look for him every time. Can’t he come to the headquarters by himself? Speaking of which, he went from the headquarters to Mariejois and then from Mariejois back to the headquarters. He sent the seagulls, hahahaha!”

nGarp destroyed a piece of meat and bone as big as his two heads in a few bites and laughed wildly.

nTsuru put his hands on the table and crossed his fingers. He looked at Karp indifferently and said nothing.

nAokiji picked up a piece of meat with a fork, chewed it, and swallowed it. He said, “Alalala, it’s so troublesome. I wanted Smoker to come, but he hates Mariejois, so he didn’t come.”

n“Puhaha, I hate Mariejois, he really dares to say it.” Garp continued to laugh.

nKizaru pouted in surprise. “Young people these days are really straightforward and scary.”

nAkainu was sitting there with his arms crossed. His slightly lowered hat covered his eyes and his specific expression could not be seen.

nA Vice-Admiral said carefully, “Well, is it really good to discuss Mariejois like this?”

n“Ah? Mary Joa can’t talk about it?” Garp wondered.

n“But that is the residence of tenryubito…”

n“That kind of garbage… Ah, no, pfft hahahaha, just pretend you didn’t hear it.” Garp laughed and skipped the topic.

nThese words made a few Vice-Admiral break out in cold sweat, but these big shots did not react at all.

nKuro’s eyes swept left and right, then he buried his head in his food.

nDon’t get involved in this topic.

nAt this time, Crane slowly said, “This trip to Mariejois is to decide the direction and plan of this war. Don’t slack off. After all, the other party is Whitebeard.”

nAkainu stared at Kuro and said, “As long as it is a pirate, damn it, we will win. Don’t you agree, Luciru Kuro?”

n‘Why are you looking at me?’

nI’m just here to eat.

nKuro stopped eating. He could neither eat nor not eat.

nCrane also looked at him and said with a smile, “I thought you would lie low for a while, but it seems that you can’t help but step on this stage. I feel old when I see you, and it’s time for young people to appear.”

nWhat does that mean?

nKuro finally couldn’t help but say, “Old Lady Crane, I was just dragged here for a meeting, nothing else.”

n“He does look like you, Kizaru,” said Crane.

n“After all, you are my proud subordinate.” Kizaru smiled kindly.

nAkainu said at this time, “I heard that you have never been merciful to evil, which is very good. I hope you can continue to keep it. You have done very well in Morgati.”

nMorgati …

nKuro subconsciously looked at Kizaru.

nKizaru shrugged. “I didn’t say that.”

nThe few people present are all high-level people. If anything happens to the World Government, they will naturally know.

nOf course, there was a full disclosure of Kuro’s incident in Morgati. Except for the details that were not exposed, they roughly knew everything.

nAkainu looked at Kuro with admiration in his eyes. “You killed the Amusement Prince who controls the national thoughts and has a deal with the Underground World, and a conspiracy pirate from the original New World who is lurking in the East China Sea. You have done well.”

n“A prince of a country is a prince of a country after all. If you don’t handle it well, it will be very troublesome for you, but I admire your style of daring to do anything to fight evil. You are an excellent Marine.”

n“Moreover, I heard that you killed many pirates in Roguetown. I agree with this point. Pirates should be killed. This kind of sin should not be left in the world.”

nWith that, he looked at Kuro regretfully and said to Kizaru, “What a pity, Polusalino, this is your subordinate. If he transferred to me, he would be more than a major now.”

n“I will also say something.”

nAokiji suddenly said: “Kizaru, you can come to my place if you are tired of him. We should have a lot of common topics.”

nUnlike Akainu, in Kuzan’s eyes, Kuro is benevolent.

nThose who should be caught will be caught, and those who should not be caught will not be caught.

nWithout that kind of particularly radical means, they would also consider civilians.

nIn the matter of Morgati, Akainu saw that Kuro risked punishment to eliminate evil and killed a prince of a country, while Kuzan saw that there were no civilian casualties in Morgati.

nInstead, those controlled by the pills woke up.

nHe also admired this style of doing things.

nHowever, Kuzan was too lazy. Otherwise, there was a high chance that Kuro would have joined him.

nKizaru scratched his head and said in surprise, “My subordinate is being fought over by the other two generals. Young people nowadays are really scary. But it’s not that I don’t want to promote him, but he doesn’t want to be promoted.”

n“Huh? No promotion?”

nGarp looked at Kuro, “Puhaha, it’s good not to be promoted. It’s so tiring to be a general. Kid, you are very interesting.”

n“Safe justice…”

nCrane nodded. “But sometimes you have to be confident in yourself and don’t think too much. You are a Marine, not alone.”

n“It’s not time yet.”

nKuro laughed, then took out a cigar and lit it, covering his awkward expression with the smoke.

nIf he can destroy Yonkō (Four Emperors) with one punch and cripple three of your generals with one kick, then he is very confident!
