nNo Meritorious Service!
nSwish!
nA flash of light appeared above Kuro’s head and turned into Kizaru holding a light sword.
n“Unexplained Divine Wind: Black Tortoise!”
nKizaru’s light sword was cut on a layer of air shield. He made a sound of surprise and his left foot emitted light. He kicked it away and threw a beam of light in front of Kuro.
nBoom!
nThe light beam exploded in front of Kuro, revealing the appearance of the shield. It was not a shield, but a huge turtle shell with a big snake wrapped around it.
nThe snake opened its mouth at Kizaru, and the moment it was stared at by the snake’s eyes, Kizaru found that he couldn’t move.
nThe profound meaning of the Black Tortoise is the only non-lethal profound meaning of the Unseen Divine Wind. The turtle shell is an absolute defense, and the giant snake is a restriction on human movements.
n“Cut!”
nSeizing the opportunity, Kuro slashed down with his knife.
nJust as it was about to hit him, Kizaru broke free from the restraint of the snake and turned into a golden light to dodge and appeared in the distance.
nHe touched the scar on his cheek with his finger and said in surprise, “It’s terrible, it has already surpassed the level of ordinary swordsmanship.”
n“The profound meaning can’t do anything to you.”
nKuro spat. He had already been forced to use two profound meanings, but this was normal. The other party was one of the few monsters. He did not think that he could easily kill him as long as he used profound meaning.
nKizaru whistled. “You have to be more serious, or you will be killed.”
n“Stop joking, old man.”
nKuro held his blade horizontally. “But I am still confident that I can hurt you.”
n“Oh? So scary.”
nKizaru’s mouth protruded. Although his tone looked relaxed, he was much more serious than before.
nKuro could feel that the aura had changed.
nHe licked his lips and revealed a trace of excitement. Since he had already fought, he might as well fight to the end.
nThe other party is one of the rare monsters in the sea. His heart and body skills are all at the top level. He wants to see what the difference is.
nThe previous battle with Hawkeye was not enjoyable!
nKuro took a deep breath and Armament Haki began to move, starting from his arms and legs to climb up. The Armament Haki on his arms extended to his shoulders and extended from the corners like tentacles, filling his chest. The Armament Haki on his legs wrapped around his waist.
nIt looked like he was wearing a layer of black armor.
n“Oh, it’s so scary.”
nKizaru said in surprise.
nKuro gripped the blade and said slowly, “Grandpa, be careful.”
n“Oh~ so scary, I won’t fight anymore.”
nThese words stunned Kuro for a moment, and then he said angrily, “You’ve provoked my anger, and you don’t want to fight?!”
n“Well, it’s just a test of strength. No matter what, I’m your direct superior. It’s just my responsibility as your superior. Don’t be so angry, go in and have a cup of tea.”
nHe turned into light and entered the hole.
nWatching Kizaru enter the cave without a care, Kuro’s hand holding the knife was in a dilemma.
nAnd he was done.
nBut Kuro is not done yet!
nHow uncomfortable is it to hold it in!
nHowever, he could not continue. Kizaru retreated and he calmed down a little.
nKizaru’s attitude shows that only the highest level knows about this, and they did not talk to him, which means that his safe conduct is tolerated and acquiesced.
nHe had not been completely exposed.
nAnd if he continued to fight, he would probably become famous in Marine.
nAnd most of all …
n“Sure enough, it’s a monster. I still can’t see its depth.”
nKuro sighed and deactivated Haki. He sheathed his knife and stepped into the high-rise office building.
nKizaru had already made tea.
n“Please.”
nKizaru pushed the teacup forward and it landed in front of Kuro.
nKuro glared at him, picked up the teacup, and drained it.
n“Oh~ Have you calmed down a little after drinking a cup of tea?” Kizaru laughed.
nKuro rolled his eyes and thought for a while before saying, “Old man, I don’t have any big wishes. I just want to live my life safely. I know you are very easy-going. How about you treat me as an ordinary subordinate?”
n“Well, sure.”
nKizaru’s answer was unexpected but reasonable.
nAfter all, this is Kizaru.
nKuro gave him a thumbs-up and said, “That’s right, old man. I thought you wanted to use me as a tool to solve your problems. Then, you will live a leisurely life of going to work, clocking out, smoking and drinking tea, and cutting your nails when you have nothing to do. With your words, I will take care of you when you retire.”
nHe did not mind that Kizaru insisted on challenging him just now.
n“This is really touching. The first person to say that he wants to send me off, should I thank you, Kuro?” Kizaru’s tone did not change.
nKuro shrugged indifferently.
n“Well, forget it. I have a good impression of you from the first time I saw you. You and I are the same kind of people. Since you want to send me off, do you want to be my son?”
nHe spread his hands at Kuro and asked.
nDo you think you have a white beard!
nKuro’s lips twitched and he stood up and took away the cigar box on Kizaru’s table. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Grandpa, I’ll find you for tea when I have time.”
nAdmiral’s cigar, good stuff.
nHe did not wait for Kizaru to speak and left directly.
nKizaru looked at his back and whistled. “What an interesting young man. He is so terrifying. Should I report his strength to Sengoku…”
nHe thought for a moment and smiled. “Forget it. If Kuro knows, it won’t be fun to be angry with me.”
nHe looked at the high ground behind him and saw the words ‘Ambiguous justice’. For a moment, he did not know what to think.
n… .
nOutside, Leda saw Kuro come out humming and quickly asked, “What did the general want to see you for? I just heard something. Did anything happen?”
nKuro said, “The old man insisted on sparring with me. He beat me up and then stopped. It’s very torturous. But forget it, Kizaru is not bad. It’s better to be his subordinate than others. Under him, my safety is increased.”
nHe is a Warrant Officer, so he will definitely have a superior when he is transferred to the Headquarters. Instead of assigning it to those so-called Generals, it is better to rely on Kizaru.
nThe old ruffian and the young ruffian.
nMoreover, Kizaru is now mainly taking care of Vegapunk’s side. Capturing pirates is just a bonus, so he is not in a hurry.
nKuro was full of confidence for a moment. “As long as I don’t make a contribution, danger will not catch up with me.”
nIt is impossible to make a contribution, it is impossible in this lifetime.
nAs long as he does not get promoted, Headquarters will not be able to assign him, and he is Kizaru’s direct subordinate. If others want to recruit him, he can refuse. If you have the ability, go to Kizaru.
nAnd some important things could not be counted on as a Warrant Officer.
nMarines also had to go through procedures.
nEven a general can’t easily promote someone without any credit. They have to report it to the government.
nHe has no credit and no fame. If he can’t be promoted, who will find him?
nTherefore, I, Lucirukulo, will not contribute!
n
