The Excuses Come

“Hey, this is against the rules!”

The man in black formal wear’s face changed and he stared at Basil unkindly. “Marine, you are destroying the system of this country. You can’t interfere in the internal affairs of the country.”

Basil said, “When did I interfere? I just let a group of children join the Marine. Since it is a World Government country, of course our Marine has the right to recruit here. These children are obviously righteous. I will let them experience Marine life in advance.”

These words were full of Kuro smell.

After all, Basil has been by Kuro’s side for a long time. Although he is often beaten, he has also learned a lot from Kuro.

“I, we have others!”

The kid with missing front teeth shouted, “There are other people like us. We were forced to owe debts. We are not what he said. Mom and Dad were cheated. All their money was gone and they forced us to work until we died of exhaustion! We have no freedom at all. There is only endless work here. Our debts can’t be repaid!”

“Marine!!”

The little ghost shouted, “If you really keep your word, please save us!”

“Stinky brat!”

The man in black suit’s face fell, he raised his fist and was about to walk over.

At this moment, a hand grabbed his shoulder and slammed him down. The man in the black suit fell down and fell on his back.

“You bastard!”

The remaining black suits took out their guns and aimed at them.

“Hey, are you going to disobey the orders of your superior in the territory of Tazoro?”

“Don’t always use your superior to suppress me.”

“My superior is Mr. Crowe, Mr. Crowe’s superior is Vice Admiral Kuro, Vice Admiral Kuro’s superior is Admiral Polusalino, and Polusalino’s superior is the World Government. If you want to find him, take your time, but…”

Bang!

He stepped on the chest of the person on the ground and his face darkened. “Forcing a child to pay his debts and imprisoning the freedom of a child is too immoral. Tazoro used to be a pirate, but even if he is a pirate…”

“That’s still moral!”

Sazir bit his cigar and looked at them arrogantly. “If you insist on mentioning the debt, then ask me for it. My salary should be enough. Of course, I won’t give you money that doesn’t conform to the rules.”

“Go! According to the rules, we can attack anyone who attacks here!”

A group of people in black suits pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

The bullet flew away.

“This kind of thing…”

Basil stood still and didn’t even dodge. “Iron.”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The bullet hit his body and even his clothes were not broken. There was a crisp sound and the bullet fell from his body and bounced on the ground.

In terms of the extent of the iron, Basil thinks that he is the strongest besides Vice-Admiral Kuro, Colonel Leda, and Mr. Crowe.

So was Paper Drawing.

He only knows these two Rokushiki, but these two Rokushiki are enough.

“The people on the other side attacked Marines for no reason, arrest them all!”

Basil gave the order.

The Marines behind swarmed forward.

They are the elites of the New World and each of them can be domineering. They don’t even need to be vigilant when dealing with a group of small fries.

Their high spirits made the group of children look hopeful.

“Tianbao!”

The little ghost with missing front teeth grabbed his sister’s hand and cried with joy, “We are saved!”

“Yes! Brother!”

The green-haired girl nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

Losing their freedom in this city, being forced to work, and facing a debt that can never be repaid, their hearts have long been filled with despair.

Marines, they have asked for help before. The Marines who came here were not just a group of them, but they were all because of the two identities of Absolute Neutral Zone and the World Government.

Some Marines didn’t even take it seriously.

But now, but now!

Finally, a Marine asked!

They are really saved!

The kid with missing front teeth looked up at the man who was biting his cigar and his eyes gradually filled with admiration.

A hero!

This is a hero!

Marines are like this, so…

“I want to be a…”

Before he could say “Marine”, he heard a phone ringing.

“Rawr …”

At this time, a Marine approached Basil with a ringing Den Den Mushi and said: “Captain, Colonel Crowe is calling.”

Basil raised his eyebrows and took the phone. His arrogant look immediately disappeared. He hunched his shoulders and said carefully, “Mr. Crowe, are you looking for me?”

“Yes, yes, ah… No, I’m not playing. I ran into a group of children who seemed to be forced. I’m rescuing them.”

“Yes, it’s like this. I suspect there are human traffickers in this city.”

“Yes, I will wait.”

The Den Den Mushi was hung up.

Basil puffed up his chest again and said arrogantly, “Mr. Crowe said that he will apply for a search warrant from Vice-Admiral Kuro. Once the search warrant is confirmed, we will move and search this city for human traffickers.”

It was as if that cautious look just now had never appeared.

The ghost with missing front teeth paused and stared at Basil suspiciously.

Marine … is that it?

… .

“Vice-Admiral, there is news from Colonel Crowe.”

At the golf course, a Marine ran over and saluted Kuro, who was still in the recliner.

“They said that Captain Basil found a suspected human trafficker group while shopping and wants to apply for a search warrant.”

“Yes?”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Kuro’s lips. “Isn’t this an excuse? Right, Brother Jiji?”

“Ah… human traffickers.”

Kazufuru hit the golf ball with a pole in front of him and looked ahead with one hand covering his forehead. “Tut, there is no hole. As for human traffickers, the government claims that there is no slavery system. This search warrant can be issued, Brother Kuro.”

Whether there was or not, they knew in their hearts.

But at this time, there must be none.

Even tenryubito are covered up by the World Government when it comes to collecting slaves.

Otherwise, the slave auction house in Sabaody Archipelago at that time would not be called the ‘Professional Settlement’.

Although this thing is for blind people to see, as long as you have eyes, you will know if it exists.

But if the World Government does not recognize it, the Marines can disown it and use it as a criminal action.

“Help me, Brother Jiji.”

Kuro sat up from the recliner and said to the Marine: “Vice-Admiral, let her help with the search. Send out this search warrant. All Marines, carry out the search on the Gran Tezoro. If there are any calls from the top, don’t answer them. If you really can’t escape, just answer them to Brother Kazui.”

“?”

There was a question mark on his head.

“Why are you answering it to me?”

“Then you can’t take it from me. You know that I am most afraid of trouble. Brother, you are the most senior, please take care of me at this time.” Kuro smiled.
