Chapter 414

There Is Only One Answer

While Kuro was immersed in peace alone, his subordinates had already received the news.

Kuro dared to pinch Den Den Mushi, but they didn’t dare.

After all, they are Marines. If they want intelligence, they also need the movements from Headquarters, so Den Den Mushi will not cut it and the news will not be cut off.

But Kuro asked them not to do that, so what should they do?

As Kuro’s think tank, Crowe thinks that Mr. Kuro doesn’t want to know anyway, and according to the previous eight months, there’s nothing to bother him about.

‘Just keep it a secret.’

As the think tank and right-hand man, he fully played the blame of the adjutant. He would answer the phone and manage the news. It was fine as long as Mr. Kuro did not know.

Therefore, he secretly unsealed the Den Den Mushi and received a call from Headquarters.

Ask if the Ledfield incident on North Sea Tomato Island is real.

When Crowe heard this, he was stunned.

How did Headquarters know about this?

The only ones who knew were the Marines on Pegasus Island. They didn’t need to say anything. Kaz was also under Kuro’s watch and couldn’t find an opportunity.

As for the remaining Marines, except for the 3,000 Replicators, the other Marines have been transferred back to the Headquarters. These Replicators don’t talk much and it is impossible for them to spread the news.

It was impossible for the Vinsmoke family to say such an embarrassing thing, and the kings of the four countries should have been threatened by Kuro to keep their mouths shut.

Just in case, he even went out to the sea to check, because it has been two months since then. There was no newspaper on Pegasus Island at that time, and now the news Seagull sent was only the latest newspaper.

However, it was also easy to find.

Crowe went to the neighboring island of Running Horse and easily got the newspaper from a random family.

On it was the photo of Kuro killing Ledfield at that time, and a higher-definition photo of North Blue’s Vinsmoke Quadruple Slash.

Oh no.

That was Crowe’s first reaction.

This news must not be known by Mr. Kuro.

Otherwise, he would be the only one injured.

But paper can’t cover fire. He can’t always hide this news. If Mr. Kuro knows about it, he will be the unlucky one.

So he discussed it with Leda, and Cass happened to hear it.

“What?! Brigadier Kuro doesn’t know about this yet, how can this be, how can this be!”

Then, there was the scene downstairs.

Leda and Crowe looked at each other and nodded in unison.

In short, he had to stabilize this hot-blooded bearded man first and then think about it.

“Actually, it’s not that Mr. Kuro doesn’t know. He knows.”

Crowe thought for a moment and said to Cass, “It’s just that he doesn’t know the details, but he knows that he killed Ledfield.”

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. Indeed, there were so many people present back then, how could no one know?

“We can publicize this kind of thing, but for Mr. Kuro, it is not worth mentioning.”

“You heard what Mr. Kuro said on Tomato Island. Ledfield is old, an old man. Killing an old man is not something to show off.”

Crowe said, “So Mr. Kuro knows about this, but if you go in with such fanfare, it will only make Mr. Kuro think that you are too impetuous. Don’t you want to be Mr. Kuro’s shield? Then be more steady.”

“I… I see!”

Kaz suddenly understood and thanked Crowe. “Thank you so much, Major Crowe. If it weren’t for you, I might have gotten it wrong!”

“Yes, that’s it. You should go and train first. Mr. Kuro trusts you so much, you can’t let him down.” Crowe quickly nodded.

“Oh? Brigadier Kuro… No, does Mr. Kuro trust me very much?!” Kaz asked with his eyes wide open.

“Of course, look at your 3,000 lackeys… No, 3,000 Gregg family Marines. Ordinary branch bases don’t have that much authority. Mr. Kuro has begged many people for these people.” Crowe lied through his teeth.

Actually, it was not a lie. He was there at that time and he remembered that Kuro told Kizaru about it.

“Hey, old man, I want these replicators of the Vinsmoke family. Help me pass.”

“Oh, sure, but you have 3,000 people. Then I won’t give you the other Marines. Transfer them back.”

… .

“Is that so, is that so!”

Tears welled up in Kaz’s eyes. He wiped his tears and looked up. “I will not let Mr. Kuro down!”

With that, he turned around and left for the training ground outside.

The current Marine base is divided into two big walls. The inner wall is the Marine fortress where Kuro is located, as well as the residence of Marine Admiral. The outer wall is the residence of ordinary soldiers, the cafeteria, and a special training ground.

“Companions!”

Kaz stood on the platform on the training ground and shouted at the thousands of Marines who were spontaneously training, “Family!”

The Marines stopped their training, leaned back with their hands, and stood upright.

Looking at them, Kaz began, “Today, I learned Mr. Kuro’s true attitude towards me. I was recognized by Mr. Kuro!”

“My long-cherished wish has finally been realized. Then the rest is obvious. There is only one answer, which is that I am ready to go further and offer my loyalty to him!”

“The power of one person is limited, but the power of a group is not. Our most respected Mr. Kuro is one person, but he has us, so it is not just one person!”

“I, Kaz, am determined to become not only Mr. Kuro’s shield, but also the shield of the Dougrette family and the Lucilu family in the future.”

“Since you bear my surname, we are a family, we are all family! My oath, you have to keep it. Fathers and children, ancestors and grandchildren, you have to keep it for generations!”

“Even if the sea rolls back, the sky sinks, the world is destroyed! The Dougret family has always been and always will be the shield of the Lucilu family!!!”

“Oh!!!!”

Three thousand Marines roared together.

“I say… if you do this, Kuro will skin you when he finds out in the future.”

Under this group of emotions, Leda shivered and looked at Crowe as if she was looking at a dead person. “This is an oath of loyalty. It’s no longer a simple superior and subordinate.”

“If I don’t get it away for him now, Mr. Kuro can skin me now. There is no future.”

Crowe swallowed his saliva. How could he have known that Kaz would have such a big reaction? He just said that Kuro trusted him…

However… it might not be a bad thing.

Crowe adjusted his glasses and said, “At least in the future, when Mr. Kuro’s child is born, there will be natural protection. There is nothing bad about it.”

“You’re right.”

When Leda heard this, she raised her eyebrows and was inexplicably happy. “My child will have a lot of companions in the future.”

Crowe’s lips twitched. This… What are you thinking about?

… .

“What are you arguing about…”

Kuro’s soundproofing is better, and the training ground is far from him, so he didn’t hear Kaz’s words, but he heard the roar.

He bit his cigar and looked helplessly from the window. “Is your blood boiling again, Cass…”

Forget it. He is in a good mood. Let Kaz play on Pegasus Island by himself. Nothing will go wrong.
