Chapter 16

Are You That Crowe?!

Rogue Town belongs to the East China Sea, and logically speaking, it should be under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea branch. However, Smoker was sent away, so he simply sat at the entrance of the East China Sea near the Grand Line, which also eliminated the possibility of the East China Sea pirates entering the Grand Line.

The Weakest Sea?

Can a Pirate King and Marine Hero appear in the Weakest Sea?

Who knows what pirates from East Blue can do on the Grand Line.

Like becoming the Fifth Emperor?

But that has nothing to do with Kuro.

His current idea is to become an ordinary Marine that is neither light nor heavy. Anyway, he can’t run away from Headquarters this time, so he will try another way.

If he could come back, he would come back. If he could not come back, there were other ways.

For example, one he admired.

“Iron Fist” Fenbudi, who has the same title as Garp, is a Captain of Marine Headquarters. He hangs around East Blue when he has nothing to do and is not valued by Headquarters. He usually catches small pirates and meets a beautiful woman for a meal. His days are too comfortable.

An example!

In the base office.

Kuro saw Smoker, and Smoker saw Kuro.

“There is no ship going to Headquarters for the time being. You wait for Headquarters’ recruitment ship and go with them. After all, you are only one person. Headquarters can’t specially send a Battleship for you alone. You have to understand.”

“Very understanding.”

Kuro was even happy.

What a good thing!

It means that Headquarters does not value him!

Smoker looked over in surprise. That’s not right. These Marines have made great contributions and are all proud and satisfied. It’s rare to meet a Marine who is not afraid of glory or disgrace.

“Want one?”

Smoker handed over a cigar.

Kuro raised his eyebrows and took it. He first lit a match and then lit it.

He had long wanted to try cigars.

In the past, in order to keep a low profile, he did not dare to hold a cigar in his mouth. Besides, his rank is not high enough. Now that he is a Warrant Officer, he can exchange cigarettes for cigars.

Marines don’t smoke cigars, so they have no souls!

“Good stuff, as expected of Headquarters Colonel,” Kuro praised.

Smoker ignored him. He pulled out Kuro’s information and looked at it.

Lucilu Kuro, 24 years old, entered the 153rd Division at the age of 14 and was promoted to a Marine Captain for ten years. Recently, because of Monka and an ability user with a bounty of 6 million berries, he was promoted to a Warrant Officer and was summoned by the Headquarters for further studies.

Although in the report, it is highly regarded by the Marine of the 153rd Branch.

It was quite ordinary.

It was Smoker’s senses.

“You caught the Krieg Pirates? You’re lucky.”

“I didn’t catch it. When we arrived at Barati, a pirate had already defeated the Krieg Pirates. We just picked it up.”

Kuro immediately denied it.

What a joke. He didn’t want to catch a seventeen-million-dollar pirate.

In any case, he had already caught the person and the reward would not be small. He did not want the credit.

Smoker nodded. “You don’t seem to have the strength, but you’re quite honest. Not bad. Marines should look like Marines.”

He put down the information and said, “Who are the two people with you?”

“They, they are righteous people who are loyal to the Marine. I happen to want them to join the Marine. You can submit them together.”

Kuro, who originally wanted to talk about this, directly handed over the information of the two people he had prepared.

As a branch commandant, he was not qualified to recruit direct subordinates and could only let Smoker do it for him.

“The little one is called Flo Lida, from Germoro Island. Although she looks short, she is actually an adult and has a heart that yearns for Marine.”

“The other one is called Crowe. You don’t know how miserable he is…”

Kuro brought out the speech he had given Kaz and the others.

“Chloe? This name…”

Smoker looked at their information and frowned. “Is it that Crowe?”

Kuro nodded. “Yes, the one with the same name as ‘Hundred Strategies’ Crowe. It’s so tragic that I can’t bear to look at it.”

“No, I mean… that Crowe.”

“?”

What else is there, Crowe?

Kuro tilted his head and was still puzzled when a very loud sound of surprise came from outside.

“Chloe! Are you that Chloe!”

In the Marine drill ground, Tashigi stared at Crowe in shock.

Crowe subconsciously went on guard.

Exposed?

Just now, they were chatting with Kaz and watching the daily drill of the Roguetown Marine, but Kaz attracted the attention of the female Marine with a sword.

“Damn it, this is Logue Town. If I am really exposed, Kuro may not be able to save me. There is no other way…”

He retracted his aura and prepared to take the opportunity to escape.

Tashigi rushed over with excitement in her eyes. “Are you the one who Hawkeye said can break his throne?!”

“?”

Crowe froze. “What did you say?”

“It’s that Crowe who is compared to Hawkeye and Hawkeye thinks that you are qualified to challenge him as the world’s number one swordsman!”

Crowe looked confused and pointed to himself. “Me, is that Crowe?”

How could he not know?

Crowe quickly waved his hand. “You’re wrong, that person is…”

“Cough!”

There was a cough from above.

Crowe looked up and saw that in the window of a building above, Kurlo and Smoker were looking down. Kurlo, in particular, gave a warning.

“Yes, that person is me,” Crowe immediately said.

“It’s really you, Marine of East Blue. Yes, you are also from East Blue.”

Tashigi jumped with joy and suddenly pulled out her knife with a serious face. “Please, please compete with me!”

“Yes?”

Crowe looked at the knife in Tashigi’s hand and froze for a moment. “I don’t know how to use a knife,” he said.

“Do you think I’m too weak?”

Hearing this, Tashigi’s face dimmed. “Sure enough, I am not qualified.”

“No, I really don’t know how to use a knife,” Crowe explained.

“Say no more, Mr. Crowe.”

Tashigi held the sword with both hands and gritted her teeth. “Although I am not strong, I also have the heart of a swordsman. Mr. Crowe, if you don’t compete with me, I will force you!”

She held the knife with both hands and slashed down.

Crowe quickly dodged this attack and said in a mess, “I really don’t know how to use a knife!”

“I will definitely force you to draw your blade and make you acknowledge me!”

Tashigi gritted her teeth and slashed repeatedly, forcing Crowe to dodge.

“Damn it, do you think I’m easy to bully!”

Even a clay figurine has its share of fire, not to mention the original pirate, Crowe, who had just come ashore. After a flash, his figure disappeared on the spot, leaving only an open suitcase.

Five bright blade lights headed straight for Tashigi.

Dang!

The cat blade on her finger collided with Tashigi’s knife, and the huge force made Tashigi take a few steps back. She looked happy. “You finally attacked. What a strange weapon. Is this the kind of weapon that makes Hawkeye acknowledge you, Mr. Crowe?”

“If you don’t listen to people, I will teach you a lesson!”

Crowe pointed his five claws at Tashigi and said coldly.
