Chapter 1381: Is There A Possibility That This Is a Misunderstanding

The five old men stood side by side and looked at the man in front of them with sinister expressions.

Their expressions were different. There was shock, complexity, and fear, but most of them were angry.

And the source of all emotions came from this man.

This man seemed to have a loyal face and seemed to understand them very well and was loyal to their orders.

“We were wrong.”

The old man on the map said slowly, “You are a man who hides too deeply. It is not until this step that you reveal your ambition.”

“Indeed, I didn’t expect to be able to mobilize so many Marines to follow you.” The long-bearded old man said.

“Not only the D Race, but ordinary people will also have such achievements. In contrast, the so-called D Race has not achieved such an achievement in 800 years. Those who have been on Mariejois are all ordinary people. Last time, it was a Merman. This time…”

The curly-haired old man said, “It’s Marine.”

“Kuro, why are you doing this? Can’t Marine Fleet Admiral satisfy you?!”

The red-skinned old man had obvious anger on his face and pointed to the side. “You are not worthy of that seat!!”

Following his finger, Kuro discovered that the place he ran to in his excitement was the center of the Pangu Palace. There were two steps, and in the center of the steps were countless swords, and at the top was a huge empty throne.

Void Throne!

“Who said that!!”

Kuro pursed his lips and was about to speak when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

A Wolf Knight came out of nowhere. When he saw who it was, the red-skinned old man’s face obviously collapsed.

He appeared behind Kuro and pointed his sword at the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) in front of him and said solemnly, “On the contrary, in this world and this sea, only Master is qualified to sit on that throne!”

“David!” Kuro was even more shocked than Gorōsei.

“Master, please rest assured, there is no need to be patient, there is no need to hide anymore. At this point, we will do our best to help you fulfill your long-cherished wish, even if we have to risk our lives!”

“That’s right!!”

Behind him, a mass of white gas quickly approached.

The white gas dissipated. Leda, Crowe, Cass, Wilbur, Smoker, Tina, Onigumo, Sentomaru, Momonga…

The various high-level Marine personnel stood behind him like a stronghold, forming a steel wall in front of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars), seemingly cutting off their path forward.

Similarly, it also cut off Kuro’s future.

“Only Mr. Kuro deserves that chair.”

Kaz roared: “No one else deserves it! Do you know Mr. Kuro’s ideals? Do you know how hard he works! I know!!”

What do you know about der!

Stop talking about it!!

Kuro turned his head and glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

“Mr. Kuro, don’t worry about it. I just saw it and said it now.”

Kaz suddenly calmed down, as if he was reminiscing, and said, “More than ten years ago, when Mr. Kuro first became a Marine, I was his colleague. At that time, Mr. Kuro was a very good person. He looked at everyone with a smile. Although he looked lazy, I know that he would run out every day to practice and come back covered in sweat. At that time, Mr. Kuro was already working hard for his ideals!”

‘No!’

At that time, I was thinking for my own ideal, but it was not the ideal you think!

I cultivated for safety reasons!

“Wind and rain, even if it is a storm, I have never seen Mr. Kuro stop. Even if he goes to deal with pirates, he will take the time to disappear. He must have gone to cultivate, even if ten years later, Mr. Kuro went to the Grand Line. At that time, I still felt that it is useless for Mr. Kuro to cultivate like this. Only by going to Headquarters can he bloom and become light!”

“But now I understand. It’s not that Mr. Kuro went to Headquarters to become stronger, but to take care of us. Mr. Kuro has never shown his strength. He has always been taking care of us. Since he was young, he has been taking care of us at the lowest level!”

“And now, I remember something. Actually, I should have realized it a long time ago, instead of slowly realizing it after Mr. Kuro arrived on the Grand Line…”

Kaz looked lost in some memory.

That was 15 or 16 years ago, when Mr. Kuro had just entered the Marine. They had not known each other for long.

“Hey, Kuro, why are you staring at that island?”

At this moment, they had just found a Pirate Ship and chased it away. Young Kuro was staring at the island that had been plundered by pirates, which made Kaz curious.

“Ah… I just feel quite sad.”

Kuro turned to Kaz. “Don’t you think that no matter how we deal with the pirates, the pirates will not disappear, and they will even get worse. And those islands, the civilians in those islands, will be innocent victims.”

Kaz nodded. “It’s all because of the Great Age of Pirates. Otherwise, pirates wouldn’t be so rampant.”

Kuro shook his head and smiled. “It has nothing to do with the Great Age of Pirates. There will be pirates even without the Great Age of Pirates. The world is like this, geography is like this. We… are actually not so omnipotent.”

Kaz was confused. “What do you mean? Don’t you want to be a Marine anymore?”

“How is that possible? Marine is the safest profession at the moment. If I don’t become a Marine, am I going to farm? I’m just sighing…”

Kuro looked at the sea in a daze. “Do you think there is a possibility that if Marines rule the world and add a detailed approach, will they be able to treat everyone as an equal? Will the number of pirates in this world decrease? It’s not said that they will be eliminated, it’s just that they will be reduced…”

“Really!”

Kaz was suddenly excited. “Will this really reduce the number of pirates? Kuro, no, Mr. Kuro, please tell me!”

“You can’t take a joke. How would I know where to go?”

Kuro smiled. “But I don’t think it’s possible. Even Marines have their limits, hahaha… I’m just saying, don’t take it seriously.”

With that, he waved at Kaz and said without looking back, “Let’s go.”

As Kuro moved, Kaz saw something that seemed to have been dropped between the wave of his hand. He subconsciously reached out to catch it and said, “Hey, Kuro, your…”

“Huh?” Kuro turned his head in confusion.

“No…”

Kaz stared at his empty palm and shook his head. “Nothing. I was wrong.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s get off work and eat. You eat first. I’ll find a place to deal with something first.”

Watching Kuro disappear, Kaz frowned and looked at his palm again. He murmured, “Marines… rule the world?”

… .

“I’m not mistaken.”

Kaz’s eyes were almost glowing as he said:

“At that time, that thing exists. Mr. Kuro passed his will to me, and he chose me! Is there a limit to Marines? No! Mr. Kuro, what you wanted to tell me at that time, it must not be like that. You are asking me in return, right? I, Doug Cass, can now say very proudly that Marines have no limit, because with Mr. Kuro’s will, as long as we don’t forget our original intention, even if it is difficult, there will never be a limit!!”

Kuro was speechless. He pulled the corners of his mouth and turned his head with difficulty, no longer looking at Kaz, but with one last effort, he said to Gorōsei:

“Is there a possibility that… that it’s all a misunderstanding?”
