nI Definitely Won’t Let You Go Back to East Blue!

nBang!

nBang bang bang!

nKirby was breathing heavily, and Kuro saw that he was also breathing heavily.

n“How is it possible, how is it possible!”

nKirby gritted his teeth. He had clearly become very strong and ordinary Marines were definitely not his match, but this was nothing.

nWhy can’t we win!

nHowever, he had to admit that he had already used his full strength, but he still could not shake Kuro, who was like an iron wall.

nIt was still the same feeling as before, just a little bit more.

nJust a little!

nThe difference between the thumb and index finger can’t be surpassed!

nLooking at Kuro, who seemed to be exhausted but still holding on, Kirby suddenly understood.

n“Mr. Kuro, I admire your fighting will, but I will not admit defeat!”

nKirby pulled herself together and fought with Kuro.

nJust like before, this battle lasted until the end of training.

n“What a good battle, Kirby, you have become much stronger.”

nKuro extended his hand to Kirby in a polite gesture.

nHow would he know if Kirby had become stronger? In any case, it was more or less the same. He just had to be polite.

nKirby forced a smile. “No, Mr. Kuro has become much stronger. I’m just a frog in a well. Don’t worry, Mr. Kuro, I understand your request. I will do my best to help you solve it.”

n“Really?”

nKuro perked up. “Do you really understand what I think?”

n“Of course, I understand from your words just now.”

nKuro looked happy. “Okay, East Blue, I’ll leave it to you!”

nKirby was a direct descendant of Karp, so his words would definitely work.

nTogether with Smoker, it was safe to return to East Blue.

nLooking at Kuro’s happy expression, Kirby felt that he was lucky to have met Vice-Admiral Garp. Otherwise, even though he was already very strong, he was still worried about not being able to stay in Headquarters. It was too sad.

n“Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Kirby said solemnly.

nLooking at his expression, Kuro felt that he was steady.

nI will definitely return to East Blue!

nI will not let you return to East Blue!

nKirby swore to herself.

nAfter saying goodbye to Kirby, Kuro looked back at the two hesitant people and grinned. “What are you doing? What kind of expression is this? Smile, smile.”

n“Mr. Kuro, that man he…”

nCrowe hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Leda kicked him secretly.

n“No, nothing. Mr. Kuro’s long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled. I am happy for Mr. Kuro.” Crowe smiled.

nHe could not say this. Otherwise, when Kuro gets angry, he would be the only one to suffer.

nHe couldn’t have done it to Leda.

n… .

nHeadquarters Conference Hall.

nAt the long table.

nClick.

nClick, click.

n“Karp, don’t eat the shellfish so loudly, it’s too noisy. Also, that’s my shellfish!”

nA man with a beard braided to his waist and a chest full of medals and a seagull on his hat roared.

n“Puhahahaha, don’t be so stingy, Sengoku, it’s just a little bit of immortal shell, how can it taste if you don’t eat it, right, Little Crane?”

nGarp laughed.

nCrane looked at him helplessly and said nothing.

nBeside him, Aokiji yawned in boredom. “A meeting in the middle of the night is too boring. Let’s end it quickly.”

n“It’s so strange. I just finished Shichibukai’s meeting in the day, is there going to be another one at night? And it’s a Marine.”

nOn the other side, a man in a yellow suit threw down a stack of information. “But it’s so scary. Young people these days.”

n“Luciru Kuro, East Blue 153 Marine Division. He has the strength comparable to Hawkeye, but he has been hiding in East Blue for ten years. If it weren’t for the two of you, I would have thought that he had some purpose for sneaking into the Marine.”

nSengoku looked at the information and said to Kizaru and Aokiji, “Tell me about it.”

n“Smoker told me.”

nAokiji lazily pointed at Kizaru and said, “But when he was talking, this guy happened to be in my office and heard it together. But then again, his behavior is really a little like yours. Is he your illegitimate son?”

n“Oh, what a terrible rumor.”

nKizaru looked at Kuro’s photo on the information. “He is as handsome as me.”

n“…”

n“Cough, cough.”

nCrane coughed a few times and said, “Safety justice. There are a lot of people who enter the Marine Agency safely, but the first one with such strength is the little guy. His sense of security is too poor. He still doesn’t trust Marines enough. But from his tracks, he seems to be a very righteous person.”

n“It’s not a bad thing to be insecure. Previously, Zephyr…”

nSengoku wanted to say something but hesitated. “Forget it, if he wants to develop safely, let him be. We are not pirates. As long as it does not violate justice and the World Government, he can do whatever he wants. Everything will be done according to procedure. If he has achievements, he will be promoted. If he makes a move to discredit Marine, he will be demoted. He will not be promoted or suppressed.”

nKizaru said, “A new seedling does need to be protected. I’m very interested in him.”

n“Then I’ll give it to you. Anyway, if you join my unit, you will probably be like you. I don’t want to see another person who doesn’t work hard.”

nAokiji yawned again, stood up and walked out, “Headquarters is too boring, I want to ride my bicycle out to sea to play.”

n“Kuzan! You are lazy again!” Sengoku roared.

nBut there was no sign of Aokiji.

n“All of them are so troublesome.”

nSengoku smacked his lips unhappily and looked at Crane. “Where is that Crowe beside him?”

nCrane thought for a moment and said, “There is no bounty, just pretend that we don’t know. With this little guy’s strength, that little pirate can’t do anything.”

n… .

nKuro was excited. He had finally survived in Headquarters.

nNext, it was time to return to East Blue.

nNo one will disturb him again!

n“Look, we don’t have to act there anymore. From now on, we are the most comfortable and safest Marine.”

nKuro pointed at Marines who were still training on the training ground, proud and arrogant.

nAfter the Marine branch finished their training, they would be on vacation while waiting for the notification. They could do whatever they wanted.

nKuro wandered around with Leda and Crowe, waiting for the notice.

nSmoker, still no news.

nBut it doesn’t matter. Smoker will not break his promise.

nWhen she said that she would find a safe place for him, she meant that it must be a safe place.

nCoupled with Kirby’s guarantee, it’s safe!

n“Mr. Kuro, Mr. Kuro!”

nJust as he thought of Kirby, Kirby’s voice came from afar.

nKirby ran over with an excited look on her face. “Your documents are down!”

n“Oh, Kirby, you… you? Huh?”

nKuro saw Kirby, and as soon as he saw Kirby approaching, his expression became strange.

nKirby was dressed differently.

nHe remembered that ordinary Marines could only wear standard clothes without any changes.

nBut now, Kirby has changed a little bit, as if he has been promoted.

n“Mr. Kuro, you are safe!”

nKirby’s words made Kuro put this thought behind him.

n“I’m safe?!” Kuro laughed so hard that he almost flew.

n“Yes, you are safe. After I went back yesterday, I found Vice-Admiral Garp. Today your documents came down and the East Blue matter has been solved. Now you…”

n“Me now?”

nKirby looked at Kuro’s happy face and also shed tears of gratitude. “Mr. Kuro, you are finally safe…”

n“Safe?” Kuro’s teeth were almost bared.

n“I stayed in Headquarters!”
