Chapter 695

Breaking the “Membrane”

“Humph!”

Sakasugi snorted at Kuro’s words, but he stopped glaring and smiling.

A smile closed his eyes and he did not continue to choke.

Not all of them listened to Kuro, but in this situation, they still had basic rationality and demeanor.

As Kuro said, why did such a foreign affair have to be so intense?

With a faint smile, he said: “I still insist on my opinion.”

Sakasugi said slowly, “I don’t agree.”

With that, the two of them started to choke again.

“This matter can be resolved.”

Kuro smiled and stood between the two of them. He first smiled at Sakasugi. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it…”

With that, he turned to look at Shichibukai and smiled. “Brother, it’s not that you hate Shichibukai, you just hate pirates like Doflamingo. Think about it, if it’s… If it’s Straw Hat and he becomes Shichibukai, will you oppose the Shichibukai system?”

These words made Yixiao stunned.

He had ‘seen’ that young man before. Under the perception of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, he indeed couldn’t sense the malice of that young man and could only feel the truth.

Although he is a pirate…

However, a smile is not annoying.

If he was the Shichibukai…

He found that he was not so unacceptable.

Shichibukai is still a bad system in his heart and needs to be abolished.

Pirates are pirates. There is no such thing as a legitimate pirate.

But if that young man were here, he would be a little loose.

He is not an unreasonable person…

Yixiao fell silent.

Seeing this, Kuro smiled and turned to Sakasugi.

“At the end of the day, it’s still a problem with Shichibukai’s selection. The people chosen by the World Government are problematic, causing Shichibukai’s system to become less and less threatening. Some pirates still have their own ideas and use this identity to do their own things.

I think that something like Shichibukai should not be decided by the World Government. What do they know about pirates? On the sea, apart from themselves, only Marine as the enemy should be chosen by us.

Hawkeye, the Empress, and the Bear before the transformation. This type is the target we need to fight for.”

Kuro paused for a moment and continued, “We can’t deny that pirates must have ideas. Pirates who go to sea and make a name for themselves are not muddle-headed.

But as long as their ideas, their ambitions do not conflict with our Marine, and their strength arrives, then this person can become Shichibukai. Like Doflamingo, we can control them and not let them become Shichibukai, as long as this power is controlled by our Marine.”

“Kuro, you should know that the higher-ups will not agree to this kind of thing,” Sakasugi said.

Kuro said with a smile, “Compared to Shichibukai being abolished, they will agree to this kind of thing. The World Conference is coming soon. The policy chosen by that conference has always been serious.”

The World Government can’t do anything, but one thing is good, that is, what the World Conference decides will not be changed.

That is the foundation of their standing. Every year, they collect so much protection fee from the participating countries. Of course, they have to do this.

If there really is a consortium of countries to make a request, the World Government will do it.

Including abolishing the Shichibukai system…

If this continues, Shichibukai will definitely be abolished.

This was not to Sakasugi’s liking, nor to the liking of these old Marines.

Admittedly, there are also people in the old navy who don’t like Shichibukai, such as Smoker.

But Smoker knows the importance of this. He knows that Shichibukai exists in both good and bad. They are indeed a sharp weapon to maintain balance.

Don’t think that someone like Doflamingo is weak just because he can’t defeat Yonkō (Four Emperors).

In his hands, Diamond Jozu was only like a puppet.

In terms of the use of abilities, he is really not bad.

If this level is placed in the New World pirates, they will be a proper silver medalist, surpassing the level of the Three Sweet Commanders and Three Disasters.

With a few more people like Doflamingo, it is really not a problem to hold off Yonkō (Four Emperors).

It would be even better if it was at Hawkeye’s level…

In any case, they are all pirates. What’s wrong with dogs biting each other? Why must Marines sacrifice themselves?

“This old man will report this matter to the higher-ups…”

Sakasugi bit his cigar and said, “Let’s put aside the Shichibukai for now. The World Conference is coming soon. Marines must be prepared and the nearby sea area must be safe. In addition, we can now consider the candidates to escort the participants of the conference.

Kuro, I want you to go to the Fishman Island…”

“Are you kidding me!”

In the next moment, Kuro’s voice rose an octave, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. He cleared his throat and tried to speak in a calm tone.

“Well, Marshal Sakasugi, I am not suitable to go to the Fishman Island. My G-3 base has not been completely completed yet. I must maintain the peace in the sea near G-3 first. Otherwise, New World’s signatories will not be able to pass through me.”

Fishman Island?

You can let Kuro go to heaven, but you can’t let him go into the sea!

It was too dangerous to go into the sea.

Even for Marines, there is no safe passage to the uninhabited island. That is the 10,000-meter deep sea area of the strait. Marines have to coat their bodies to go down, but if they encounter deep sea currents, no matter how strong they are, they will be buried in the sea without exception.

It doesn’t matter if you are an ability user or not, once you break the membrane there, you are finished.

He will definitely break the membrane when he goes into the sea, no matter which aspect it is!

Going down without a code… No, in any case, Kuro would never do something like handing safety to God and luck.

Perhaps Marine technology can guarantee safety, but Kuro does not agree with this decision to give the initiative to the unknown.

His sense of security does not allow him to do so.

“Speaking of which, the Fishman Island is participating this year?” Kuro frowned and said, “The Fishman Island has never participated in previous years.”

“Ah… Fishman Island wants to participate this year.”

Sakasugi nodded and said, “The World Government agreed to this matter. It seems that they want to discuss the migration of Fishman Island.”

Kuro shrugged and said, “That’s really surprising. There will be a lot of accidents when moving land.”

Those Mermaids are actually quite good in the deep sea. If they have to migrate to land…

But it was not so safe.

Ten thousand meters in the deep sea, where there are deep currents, the safety of merfolk and mermen who can live in the water is needless to say. Few of them are caught by humans, especially mermen, who basically don’t come out.

But once they move to the sea…

Tenryubito, as well as the nobles who want merfolk and Merman slaves, will covet them.

This world is not so naive and safe.
