nWait, Wait!

nIt was impossible to pretend that they did not exist. Kuro had not been shopping with Leda for long when the call came.

n“Oh, I picked up the wrong phone just now. I think you should have arrived at Water Seven. I’ll give you an address. Go there and someone will receive you.”

nSnap.

nKuro still hung up and didn’t say anything to this old man.

nHe smacked his lips and said, “I don’t understand what this has to do with you.”

nHades, Water Seven, CP9, Carrera…

nIf Kuro remembers correctly, the World Government should be responsible for this kind of thing. Aokiji should assist from the side. After all, he gave the Demon Slayer Token to Spandam.

nBut what does this have to do with Kizaru? Why did he have to interfere?

n“Perhaps… the Admiral wants to give you a chance to advance?” Crowe thought for a while and said.

n“Yes?”

nKuro looked at him and felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

nPromotion opportunity?

nKuro was stunned. He turned his head and thought that if this matter was not because of the protagonist group’s halo outbreak and he dealt with it according to the thinking of ordinary pirates, he might have succeeded. At that time, even if he didn’t do anything, he would probably be forcibly promoted for escorting hostages.

nKuro gritted his teeth and said, “The old man has bad intentions and hasn’t given up the idea of using me as a tool.”

n“Aren’t we going?” Leda asked.

n“Go, this is the only chance. It wasn’t easy for me to get this damn old man’s freedom of action. I have to make contact with him no matter what. I’m just going to make contact.”

nIn any case, according to the plot, it will definitely fail. He is not prepared to take action, so this matter will definitely go as he wishes.

nYou want me to get promoted?

nNo way!

nThe few of them headed to the address Kizaru mentioned. It was a bar. It was daytime and there were fewer people. A strong man with bull-horned hair was silently wiping glasses.

nSeeing that a few Marines had come, the strong man was silent for a while before saying word by word, “Please wait.”

nBruno.

nCP9 Special Agent, currently opening a bar in Water 7.

nHe was also the target of Kuro’s contact.

nKuro shrugged and found a place to sit down like a normal tourist.

n“Give us some wine and get her some drinks.” He pointed at Leda.

n“I am an adult!” Leda pouted.

n“When you become an adult, you will become an adult. Look at you, do you look like an adult? You eat more than anyone and sleep longer than anyone. Be good and go drink a drink!” Kuro rolled his eyes at her.

n“I want to drink, I want to drink.” Leda slapped the table randomly.

n“That’s why I don’t think he looks like an adult.” Kuro patted his forehead and sighed.

n“Petty!” Leda curled her lips and gave up the idea when she saw that Kuro was really not accurate.

n“Wine, and drinks.”

nBruno stood next to them like a ghost, put the tray down and went back to the front desk as if he didn’t know them.

nHe did not know them.

nIt was getting late and dusk was coming. The bar became lively.

n“Bruno, give us a glass of wine!”

nBefore he got close, Kuro heard a rough voice.

nA man with blond hair and goggles on his head walked in with two people beside him.

nOne of them had a pigeon on his shoulder, wearing a boatman’s clothes, and his eyes were indifferent.

nThe other had a long square nose. When he saw him, Kuro thought of Pinocchio.

n“Oh… Barry, are you on credit again?”

nBruno asked slowly, wiping his glass.

n“Don’t be stingy, Bruno. There’s no salary. Buy me a drink, or your treat, Lucci.”

nBarry put his hand on Lucci’s shoulder and smiled.

nLucci said nothing, but the pigeon on his shoulder fluttered. “Poor man, poor man.”

n“Hey! It’s just one cup, you don’t have to do this,” Barry said angrily.

n“Hahaha, because Barry, you are a poor man.”

nLong Nose laughed.

n“Kaku!” Barry’s face was a little red and he roared.

n“Let this old man treat you.” Kaku patted Barry’s shoulder and smiled. At the same time, he also glanced at Kuro.

nLucci and others didn’t come to Kuro at all. They just had a few drinks at the bar and chatted for a while before leaving.

nThere were still a lot of people in the bar until the crowd gradually cleared, leaving only Kuro and others at the table. Bruno came over and put away the empty glasses of Kuro and others and said gently, “We don’t need weak people, weak people, they are in the way.”

nIs he… rejected?

nCoulot stared at Bruno.

nBruno was silent for a moment under his gaze. “If you want to report it, then go ahead.”

nSuddenly, Kuro reached out.

nBruno clenched his fists, ready to teach this little Marine a lesson, but his hand was held by Kuro.

n“Don’t worry!”

nKuro held his hand tightly, his smile almost crooked.

n“We will leave immediately and will not cause you any trouble!”

nIs there such a good thing in the world?

nUnexpectedly, CP9 did not like them.

nCome to think of it, Judicial Island and Headquarters are both part of the World Government and belong to the same level concept, not a superior and a subordinate. They don’t need Marines and can completely refuse.

nThis was a good thing for Kuro.

nHe did not even need to get involved.

nThis was not him taking the initiative to retreat, it was him who did not want him.

n“Lida, stop eating. Crowe, help me clean up the bar. I’ve been eating and drinking here for half a day for nothing. I have to show my appreciation.”

nWhy me again …

nA black line appeared on Crowe’s forehead. He stood up helplessly and began to clean up the mess on the table.

nBruno watched as Chloë busied herself and was silent for a while before suddenly turning and walking towards the back of the bar.

nKuro did not care either. In his opinion, this CP9 was tired of them and did not want to see them.

nWhen Crowe finished cleaning up, Bruno rushed backstage.

n“Little brother, I’m done cleaning up for you. Thank you for your hospitality today. I’m sorry for disturbing you. Next time if you need me, don’t trouble me, I’ll do it for you.”

nKuro waved at him happily.

n“Wait…”

n“Huh? Is there anything else?” Kuro turned around and asked.

nBruno nodded. “Just now, we discussed it. Although you can’t participate directly, you can join the troops. There’s a Marine Captain who’s already on the way to Water 7. I told you to join his troops.”

n“???”

nKuro was stunned. “What do you mean?”

n“Your mission will be completed and you will not be scolded.” Brulo nodded solemnly.

n“Wait, wait! My… my mind is a little confused.”

nKuro blinked a few times and said, “You mean, you just went to the phone and then asked us to join a Marine Captain’s unit and help you complete the mission together? Is that what you mean?”

nBruno nodded and smiled. “You’re good Marines.”

nWhat the hell!

nKuro was furious. “You are too inhumane! You should have discussed it with me before you took action. You just ran to report alone and then put us in the army. I was kind enough to help you clean up the bar, and this is how you repay me?!”

nHe was just thinking about going back to report to Kizaru tomorrow. He would throw the blame on CP9 and return to East Blue after taking the Battleship.

n“I cleaned it up…” Crowe said weakly.

n
