Chapter 776

Kingdom of Korff

“Well, if you don’t want to go to Fishman Island, there are many places to choose from,” Kizaru said.

Sakasugi frowned slightly and looked at Kuro. “If you don’t want to go to the bottom of the sea, then go to Korf. The new king of that country has submitted his willingness to join the World Government and the higher-ups have agreed, but it is currently an inspection period. The World Government will send one person and our Marine will send another person to investigate and decide whether this country can enter the category of joining countries.”

Sakasugi was very satisfied with Kuro. If he didn’t want to go to Fishman Island, he wouldn’t go to Fishman Island.

After all, he had gotten 20 billion Berries for Headquarters. Although this money is nothing to Headquarters, Kuro has this intention, which means that Sakasugi is not wrong.

This man is a staunch Marine!

Much higher than that idiot Kuzan.

Listening to Sakasugi, Kuro pursed his lips. It was okay. It was better than going to the bottom of the sea.

With Sakasugi’s personality, he can’t refuse a second time, that would be not giving him face.

On the sea, everything is fine. It is not like ‘Totland’ is going to join a country.

Next, Tina introduced the world countries that were going to have a meeting this time. After assigning tasks, the meeting ended.

At this time, Kuro followed the old man back to his office and sat opposite the old man. At the same time, he learned about the people who were with him this time.

Looking at the information obtained from the old man, Kuro opened his mouth and said with interest, “Rob Lucci? CP0, it seems that the World Government values him.”

The person sent by the World Government this time was Rob Lucci.

They were old acquaintances.

Although Kuro was very unhappy with government officials, there were a few who were still neutral. Rob Lucci was one of them.

“Be careful when you go to Corfu.”

Kizaru chuckled and said, “That is a Pirate Country. I have also heard that the king treats pirates as slaves and serves him alone under his strong rule, so it is also called the Slave Country. In addition to his own people, foreign pirates will also be slaves here. Now, although Straw Hat has defeated the king, the environment there should be chaotic.”

“Pirates?” Kuro had just looked at the information about Korff and was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised.

New World has long been full of pirates. Being weak means being conquered, and being strong will also be remembered. In that chaotic place, it is not strange for an island to become like this.

Or rather, that would be normal.

Corfu’s geographical location is not far from Dressrosa. Dressrosa used to belong to the Shichibukai and is also a member country, but deeper in, the first barrier of New World chaos is the non-Alliance country of Corfu.

The information shows that this country is very poor, and the average person is rich in martial virtue. In the past, there was no other way but to rob, because its geographical location is not very good. This country is surrounded by powerful forces in all directions. Behind it is the signatory country represented by their World Government, and the first one is a strong country like Dressrosa.

Even in the hands of King Riku, Dressrosa is not a place that ordinary pirates can approach. Besides, this is the good thing about the World Government. If you pay the protection fee… No, if you become a member country, then he will really protect you.

The specific means is that Marine still has the CP organization.

Further behind was Doflamingo, which was even more difficult for Corfu to provoke.

As for now …

No one could withstand Dressrosa’s crazy expansion.

In the other locations of Corfu, those kingdoms are not to be trifled with. They are all islands and countries that have not been annexed in the New World.

They either stand there with their own strength, or they have long hung the flag of a great pirate, which is something that Korf can’t snatch.

And the supplies on its island… It seems to be a stone island, except for stones, the food produced is very limited.

However, Korff also has its own highlight, which is a large number of stones. These stones are very hard and are very good for building houses. There are also some exquisite patterned stones that can be used to make sculptures, which are favored by collectors.

And most importantly, the Korf Kingdom has a ‘Bomb Rock’ that is only slightly inferior to their Marine ‘Power Rock’. It is a natural cannonball and there is no need to make it at all. This is one of the reasons why the Korf Kingdom is strong.

Relying on all kinds of stones and the pirate slaves used for labor, the Kingdom of Korff can live in the New World.

However, the appearance of Straw Hat destroyed all of this. He defeated the king and released the pirates who were treated as slaves, causing chaos in the Kingdom of Corfu.

The new king is the son of the original king. Out of helplessness, he asked the World Government to join him.

“So, the World Government is coveting their ‘Bomb Rock’ and even wants to accept this kind of garbage?” Kuro was a little speechless.

Kuro had also guessed that it was to check if the bomb rock was easy to mine. In the future, the ‘Heavenly Gold’ would probably be included.

But is it really necessary to accept a country full of pirates?

“Well, orders from above.” Kizaru shrugged. “Just treat it as a formality.”

“Got it.”

Kuro put away the information, stood up and walked out.

“Right, Kuro…”

Kizaru said at this time, “If we propose to control Shichibukai this time, should we come up with a candidate in advance?”

“Let’s talk about that after that. The higher-ups might not agree.” Kuro shrugged and walked out of the door.

Naturally, Rob Lucci would not let him pick him up personally. He could only meet him at Headquarters, and now…

He pushed aside the Den Den Mushi and dialed a number. “Hey, Smoker, find a place to drink.”

“What? Who’s treating? Of course it’s you, it can’t be me.”

“Okay, don’t be so calculative. As a G-3 Base Chief, you can’t afford to drink, right?”

“Ah? I’m also a Base Captain? I’m so poor recently, don’t you know?”

His money was now planned and he would save what he needed.

After all, he had to invest in business. He would probably invest all the money he earned on Pegasus Island.

He still has a batch of gold in his hand. This thing is his trump card and is not easy to move.

Because he also likes gold very much. If it is not necessary, this gold should be made into gold jewelry for his collection.

Who wouldn’t like it golden?

After hanging up the phone with Smoker, Kuro walked directly to the business district behind Headquarters and informed Leda and Crowe to come over for dinner and wait for Rob Lucci to arrive.
