Chapter 213

Where’s the Generosity?

“Kuro Kuro, that’s it, cranberry juice.”

When they reached the street, Leda suddenly pulled Kuro and pointed to a shop and said excitedly, “That thing is delicious.”

“Do you mean [Scarlet Berries]?”

At this moment, the lieutenant said, “It is indeed a famous drink here. If you have never been here, you can try it.”

“Is it really that good? Crowe, one glass for each of you. My treat, you pay.”

Kuro glanced at the dozens of Marines and said to Crowe.

Why am I paying for your treat…

Crowe’s lips twitched and a black line appeared on his forehead.

Although as a butler, Crowe is in charge of the finances, Kuro’s words obviously don’t mean that. He really wants him to pay for it himself.

However, there is no way to refuse…

Who asked him to be directly under them?

Crowe sighed and took some Marines to the store to buy drinks. Before long, a group of people came back with a drink in each hand.

This drink is only 500 Berries per cup, which is surprisingly cheap because the drink also comes with a cup.

The glass was transparent and looked very exquisite. Just based on the patterns on it, it would be worth a lot of money if sold.

In the glass was a thick liquid that looked like blood. It was swaying but it did not stick to the glass wall. It looked pretty good.

Kuro pinched out the cigar and tasted it with a straw. His eyes immediately opened.

“It tastes good…”

“Yeah.”

Lida smiled contentedly and said, “I haven’t drunk this thing for a long time, I really miss it…”

“Okay, get someone to buy more for storage.”

Kuro said to the captain: “Remember this.”

“Yes!”

The Captain saluted.

Of course, they were willing to do such a good thing. When the other Marines heard this, they were all beaming with joy. This thing tasted very good. It was excellent to use it as a boring mediation during sailing.

The group continued forward. Kuro sipped his drink and observed the residents.

Their clothes were very monotonous. They were either black or white. The men wore black robes and the women wore white robes. They either held a book in their hands or had an accessory hanging around their necks like a star. From time to time, someone would hold up the accessory and mutter something.

“They are praying.”

The lieutenant saw that Kuro was curious and explained, “The people here have a custom of prayer. As long as they feel that it is necessary or not very comfortable, they will pray. This will keep their mood normal.”

Kuro smiled. “Interesting.”

Due to the changes in the magnetic field of the Grand Line, almost every island is not connected, which leads to the technological level and local customs of each island.

He was used to it. After all, there are still cannibals now.

Just as Kuro was observing the people here, a man in a black robe came up to him and bumped into him.

Not only him, but as he passed by, he bumped into the shoulders of several Marines behind Kuro.

“Hey, be careful when you walk.”

A Marine behind immediately turned around and shouted.

The black-robed man ignored them and walked forward, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

“This guy… doesn’t he know how to apologize for hitting someone!”

“Okay, okay. Didn’t you people just get hit? It’s nothing.”

Kuro stopped the Marine who was about to chase after them and frowned. “It’s not that I want to harm you. It’s just a collision. As Marines, how can you do this? You have to be magnanimous, you know? Look at me, I’m very big…”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt the cup in his hand sway a little. He looked down and saw that the blood-like juice inside suddenly surged and turned into a small terrifying head.

This head has no hair, only facial features similar to the outline. At this time, it opened its mouth wide at Kuro and rushed out of the cup as if it wanted to bite him.

Bang!

Kuro subconsciously crushed the glass along with the strange little man.

“What is it?!”

At the same time, the Marines who were hit by the black-robed man just now had changed their appearance. Although they were still wearing Marine uniforms, their faces had also turned into the kind of faces with no specific facial features and no hair. They were opening their mouths wide and roaring at Kuro.

They stretched out their hands like zombies, as if they wanted to attack Kuro.

This sudden change made his pupils contract.

“Kuro, Kuro?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded and his vision changed again. He saw the Marines looking at him in confusion.

Leda looked up at him. “What’s wrong with you? Are you tired of drinking? Don’t just break the cup.”

Kuro lowered his head. There was no more terrifying face, only the glass slag that he crushed and the juice that flowed along his finger to the ground.

“Playing with me?”

Kuro’s face sank and his pupils turned red. He opened his Kenbonshoku (Observation) and covered the entire town.

“Kuro?” Leda saw that Kuro didn’t look right and asked quickly.

“Wait here, I’ll go catch that rude person.”

Kuro gritted his teeth and said. Then, his feet flashed and his figure quickly disappeared.

“This…”

Marine, who was next to him, looked at the broken glass on the ground in a daze.

What happened to being magnanimous? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

… .

The black-robed man came to an empty alley and stood on the wall in front of him without moving.

“Yohehehe, Absolem, don’t turn your back on me every time you meet me. It’s very scary.”

In the rear, a lively voice sounded.

The black-robed man slowly turned his head, revealing a pale and stiff face in the shadow of the alley. He stared at the woman for a while and slowly said, “Sipatya.”

That woman was Sipatiya, whom he had met before.

At this time, she was also holding a cup of [Crimson Berries Pulp] in her hand. She shook it at Absolem and said, “Sure enough, Marines are coming. That idiot Gugas did not handle it well. There are three people who are not affected by my ability, but the impact is not big. At night, there will be a good show.”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Absolem’s stiff face. “I met those Marines. If I am not wrong, they are already killing each other.”

“Oh? Did you use illusion? It’s really bad…”

Sipateria giggled and said, “As expected of a prisoner from the sixth floor, but aren’t you afraid of causing trouble by doing this during the day?”

“Under my ability, no one can wake up during the day…” Absolem said lightly.

“Heeheehee, but someone was clearly awake yesterday.”

“Sipatia.”

Absolem’s face darkened. “Don’t challenge my authority.”

“Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it.”

West Patia bent one foot like a girl and took a sip of the drink. Her tongue was stained with the blood-like juice and wrapped around her lips. She smiled. “If there’s a good show, then let’s go and see it. I like to watch people fight.”

“Up to you, but first report your progress. Can you do it tonight?” Absolem said stiffly.

West Patia twirled her hair with her fingers and her eyes facing the sky. She thought for a while and said, “Well… according to his allegory, tonight should be the last.”

“The last what?”

“Of course it’s the final madness. Blood, killing, and despair after waking up. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really great!”

Sipathea grinned. The curve had reached her ears, and her energetic face was unusually ferocious.

Then, she realized that Absolem’s expression was not right. The man was staring behind her.

And the words just now did not seem to come from Absolem.

Scypatia slowly turned his head and saw Kuro standing calmly at the entrance of the alley. He took out a cigar and silently lit it for himself. Then he raised his head and the smoke floated up along his face.

“Oh, hello.”
