Dedicating Your Life to Mr. Kuro

“You really know how to choose…”

Kuro glanced at the fruit and waved his hand. “Alright, no one will eat it anyway. Here you go. I hope you will work harder in the future.”

He chose the Double Fruit, which he had just obtained.

None of his subordinates ate this fruit, and Wilbur was basically stationed in Sabaody Archipelago, so it was appropriate to give it to him.

This fruit is also good for defense.

The power of the cannonball increased tenfold, which is not small.

“Thank you, Rear Admiral Kuro!”

Wilbur straightened his face and took a deep breath. He looked at the fruit and thought of many things.

The more days he spent communicating with Kaz, the more he knew about Kuro.

When Kaz ate the fruit back then, he had great courage. After all, the Devil Fruit had a Devil inside.

As a man of the sea, for this power, he will be cut off from the sea from now on, which is unbearable for ordinary people.

But …

Just like Kaz, in order to help Major General Kuro, in order to spread the justice taught by Major General Kuro!

Even if you become a landlubber, even if you live forever in the sea!

It was all worth it!

“Kaz, with you here, I, Wilbur, will not be afraid!”

Wilbur roared in his heart. He took the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. With just one bite, he swallowed the whole fruit.

Maruton seems to be a skill that most people in this world know.

He wondered if it was a talent.

“Good God.”

Kuro grimaced when he saw this. Another man who obtained the correct way to eat Devil Fruit.

Take a bite, in case the effect is not good enough.

After eating too much, the taste is indeed uncomfortable. This is something that Kuro has personally experienced.

However, if the pill is swallowed, the taste will not be so strong because it is swallowed whole and the taste will only last for a moment.

“Rear Admiral Kuro!”

After swallowing the fruit, Wilbur’s face turned green and white. His body swayed for a while, then he stood up and stared at Kuro with a burning gaze. “I will make good use of this power!”

“Oh, you can do it.”

Kuro nodded. “Do a good job. I think highly of you. You are much better than Kaz.”

“Kaz…”

Wilbur looked excited. “Am I better than Cass in some ways?!”

“Yes, in some ways, you are much better than Cass.”

Kuro did not deny that.

Wilbur was a pain in the ass. Kaz, with his hot-blooded beard, was a pain in the ass.

“I know, I will work hard!” Wilbur clenched his fists.

Not only was he acknowledged by Rear Admiral Kuro, but he was also said by Rear Admiral Kuro to be a little better than Kaz in some aspects.

That’s Cass!

The man he admired the most!

Or… I can really fulfill my long-cherished wish and become Rear Admiral Kuro’s spear!

“Major General Kuro… No, can I call you Mr. Kuro?” Wilbur asked expectantly.

“Yes?”

Kuro raised his eyebrows. “It’s not impossible…”

“Thank you, Mr. Kuro!!”

Wilbur saluted. “I will not let you down!!”

As he spoke, his tears almost fell.

“Stop, stop, stop. Why are you crying? Forget it, you can do it. If there’s nothing else, go ahead.” Kuro waved his hand with a headache.

Why is this guy as excited as that idiot Cass?

“Yes!”

Wilbur saluted again and ran out in three strides.

He was going to share the good news with Kaz and tell Kaz that he too had been acknowledged by Mr. Kuro.

At that time, they can cooperate and contribute to the cause of justice!

With this thought in mind, he touched the “Quotations of Justice” that had been stuck to his chest and felt that his chest was hot and his whole body was hot.

Kaz has dedicated his life to the justice taught by Mr. Kuro. Then, I will let the world know Mr. Kuro’s concept of justice, Mr. Kuro’s noble sentiments! For Mr. Kuro, I will also devote my life to him! He thought silently.

“Achoo!”

In the office, Kuro sneezed again and felt inexplicably cold.

He rubbed his nose and wondered, “Why do I keep sneezing recently…”

He leaned back in his chair and changed into a more comfortable position. Like a salted fish, he closed his eyes to rest.

… .

Four months later.

Time passed in the posture of Kuro’s daily salted fish paralysis.

Wilbur came to report on the situation in Sabaody Archipelago almost every once in a while and urged Kuro to go back to report.

However… he ignored this.

As long as he pretended not to hear it, there was no such thing.

Anyway, he has the old man above him, so he is not afraid of this.

But recently, it doesn’t seem to work.

“Hey, Kuro, it says that the new headquarters is going to hold a completion ceremony. Are you not going?”

In the office, Leda said expectantly, “I don’t know how the canteen of the new department tastes.”

The new headquarters was officially completed two months ago, but the ceremony was held recently.

This, Kuro had to go.

Because Wilbur came to urge him again some time ago and brought Marshal Sakasugi’s order that he must go back to attend the ceremony.

Kuro bit his cigar and nodded. “We have to go. We have to give Sakasugi face.”

To be honest, he was a little scared before, afraid that a promotion document would come one day because of the Wald incident.

But it has been four months, and he still hasn’t gotten the promotion news, which means that he has succeeded in shifting the blame.

This relieved his vigilance a lot.

Moreover, this time it is not a debriefing, but a ceremony for the entire Marine. Every station has to draw people to participate, and the others are watching Sakasugi on Den Den Mushi.

He had to give him face.

After all, he was a Marshal.

“Call Crowe and tell him to get ready. Inform Mary Joa and tell them to prepare the ship and the passage. The two of you will go with me, and the others will guard the house,” said Kuro.

They had to go to the New World through Mariejois.

Otherwise, do you want him to go to Fishman Island?

As a Marine, why would he go to Fishman Island?

Moreover, that place is already covered by Charlotte Lingling, and Jinbe is also not on good terms with him.

Besides, Kuro is still resistant to going into the sea.

If anything happens, he will be buried at the bottom of the sea.

“Okay~”

Leda responded and took out the Den Den Mushi she carried with her. She suddenly asked, “By the way, are you going to call Cass?”

“Ha? If he wants to go, he can go by himself. Although he is my subordinate, he is also the Base Captain of Pegasus Island. The choice is in his hands,” Kuro said.

“I got it.”

Leda nodded and called Crowe to inform him of his decision before hanging up.

“Right, Kuro…”

Leda looked at him and said, “The bar in 13GR recently is a little different. I feel a strong aura.”

“Well…”

Kuro looked out the window in the direction of 13GR.

“Don’t worry about it. If that old man doesn’t cause trouble, just pretend not to know.”
