Chapter 164

Dance (2)

The bear seemed to have heard Kuro’s voice. It tilted its head slightly and looked over.

But there was still no fluctuation.

Kuro blew out a smoke ring and smacked his lips. “Hey, is there no consciousness left after being modified?”

Crane shook his head and said, “Bear made a mistake and will naturally pay the price. Okay, don’t find trouble with him.”

‘I got him into trouble?’

He should be giving me trouble.

However, Kuro also knew that no bear could hear him now. He might still have a little consciousness, but that consciousness was not used to listen to people.

“Come to think of it, you used this ability pretty well. You got it a long time ago, right?”

Crane smiled, his eyes faintly reminiscent. “I really miss it… That old guy is actually dead.”

Back then, Sengoku and Garp joined the Marines with him and came here together. Their biggest enemy was that ‘Lox’. At the same time, the pirates under his banner naturally had contact with him.

Shiki was also one of them. From young to old, he fought for so many days. Unexpectedly, he also died in the hands of the new generation.

Kuro suddenly became alert when he heard this. He glanced at the Marines around him and said:

“I say, Granny Crane, I don’t know anything about Shiki or Shiki. I picked up this ability. Let me emphasize again, whether it’s the sword or the ability, I picked it up.”

“If you promote me for this, I won’t admit it without evidence. I’ll go to the government and sue you for favoritism and malpractice, and promote my trusted aides.”

Looking at Kuro’s denial, Crane could only scold him with a smile, “Lazy guy, don’t worry, it won’t go against the justice you think. Marine, just follow the justice and come at your own pace, kid.”

Is it important to kill Golden Lion?

To the higher-ups, it was important and not important.

A threatening big pirate had died at the hands of their Marines. Of course it was worth celebrating.

But just as Garp’s real reason for being called a ‘Marine Hero’ has gradually been downplayed, this kind of thing also seems less important.

As long as the matter is done and the pirates are destroyed, that is enough.

Whether he wants this fame or not is up to him. Headquarters will not promote him directly just because of his fame.

In the end, merits are still needed.

Kuro refused to admit it, so whether Golden Lion’s death has anything to do with him is ambiguous.

But that didn’t matter.

Because Kuro had firmly obtained this ability.

Although they are old, the next generation such as Aokiji and others can still hold on. When they are old, this will be Kuro’s real chance to step on the stage.

Food was soon served.

Crane looked at Kuro sitting there eating heartily and staring at the swaying wine glass. He shook his head gently and sighed. “The tide of the times, no matter where it flows, Marines will still be Marines, and we will still be the Coastal Fort.”

Kuro glanced at her and pursed his lips.

As expected, when one gets old, they will sigh with emotion. I have to take this as a lesson and not become like this when I get old.

He still thought that even when he was old, he would still be able to live comfortably.

After the meal, Kuro retreated, but he couldn’t leave. He had to wait for the Shichibukai to gather and then go to Marin Vando with Crane.

However, after lunch, he did not have much interaction with Shichibukai.

In that banquet hall, Kuro was illuminated, but Doflamingo, Tiki, and Moria could not be seen. These three seemed to have stopped appearing in the banquet hall at the same time.

Kuro did not mind and continued to eat and drink.

Fortunately, he had learned the move ‘Life Return’. By eating the energy, he could recover from his injuries. After eating for more than a day in Mariejois, his injuries were mostly recovered.

At this time, there are still 24 hours before Ace’s execution.

In a luxurious room in the Golden Palace.

Kuro gently removed the bandage on his head, revealing his forehead. He looked around to make sure that there were no scars before nodding in satisfaction.

Fortunately, there were no irreversible injuries.

“Knock knock knock…”

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Kuro spoke and the door was pushed open.

Major Job saluted him and said: “Lieutenant Colonel, Vice-Admiral Tsuru invites you to the banquet hall. Empress Borya Hancock has arrived.”

“Oh? Finally here.”

Kuro straightened his clothes. “Lead the way.”

Boa Hancock was known as the world’s most beautiful woman. Kuro still wanted to see her.

I didn’t see Nine Snakes Town last time, but I can finally see it this time.

Job led the way to the banquet hall.

At this moment, in the banquet hall, the solemn atmosphere that had disappeared after Kuro’s previous incident appeared again.

The Marines looked nervous and ready.

Kuro walked into the banquet hall and glanced around.

“Hey, hey, hey…”

Doflamingo saw Kuro coming in and laughed at him. “Everyone is waiting for you. Aren’t you a little too arrogant?”

During this period of time, everyone lived in this palace and saw each other frequently.

What if I bump into him?

Of course, he would pretend not to see it.

Kuro was too lazy to argue with these people, and after asking them to ‘dance’ last time, these people pretended not to see Kuro, and everyone was peaceful.

However, at that time, they would not cause trouble.

But now, it seems that because the decisive battle is approaching, these people’s nature has returned.

Listening to Doflamingo, Kuro glanced at him and did not speak. His gaze was on a woman sitting on a huge snake nearby.

The woman had a head of black hair and her hairstyle was ‘Ji Hair’. It was not the one in Great Zhou, but a princess hairstyle. Under her black hair was a peerless appearance. Her purple cheongsam accentuated her curvaceous figure. At this moment, her face looked very indifferent.

Pretty.

It looks good!

Very good-looking!

I’m looking forward to it!

Kuro felt his heart skip a beat at this moment.

Not that I’m tempted…

That feeling was subconscious.

“Ability…”

Kuro took a deep breath and removed the evil thought.

The world’s most beautiful woman, ‘Empress’ Boa Hancock, is the ability user of ‘Sweet Fruit’. Regardless of gender or age, everyone will be infatuated with her.

Except for a few fools, no one would not be tempted by the empress. This is her ability.

Those who became infatuated with her would be petrified by her.

Perhaps before eating the fruit, she was also a great beauty, but she was definitely not more charming now.

The ability brought by the fruit is enough to surpass miracles. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For example, a fruit that can make people lose weight and make their skin smooth.

Kuro’s eyes moved away, but he couldn’t help looking over, then away, then back again…

Boa Hancock frowned and noticed Kuro’s gaze. She shouted, “Who allowed you to look directly at me? In this world, only one man can look at me like this. Your dirty eyes are a great insult to me. Hurry up and dig out your eyes!”

“Ah… no.”

Kuro smacked his lips and finally stopped looking.

He actually wants to know …

Did this woman wear any spikes?
