“Marshal Kuro.”
Rudolph smiled. “Long time no see.”
Kuro walked to the round table and sat directly on the chair. He glanced at them and said, “I hope never to meet you. You do your thing and I will do mine. We will not disturb each other, but sometimes there is no other way. I am not at ease with your combat power outside.”
“Hey… are you so straightforward? I signed a contract with you,” William said.
“Isn’t that thing just a piece of paper? If you don’t want to be it, no one can stop you, but…”
Kuro glanced at Mihawk, Hancock, and Bucky. “The Shichibukai are all here for the meeting I’m hosting. They’re giving me face.”
“Cut the crap, Kuro, what do you mean!”
Hancock said directly, “I have no objections if you want to execute Red Hair, but the purpose of your execution is to lure Luffy out! Why did you do that!”
“Why does Marine need to deal with pirates…”
Kuro looked directly at Hancock and said, “What, Jinbe went into the last Top War, this time you want to go into Impel Down to experience Jinbe?”
When he summoned Shichibukai, he actually felt that these three would not come. The probability of Bucky is a little smaller, but the probability of Mihawk and Hancock is very high.
Although Bucky and Shanks had parted ways for many years, they were still good friends of the same age.
Hancock is a straw hat fan. There is a high chance that she will go against me.
As for Mihawk …
That’s more Muggle.
Akagami (Red Hair) is his friend, and the cadre of Straw Hat, Rolo Noah Zoro, seems to be his disciple.
Kuro was ready to deal with these three pirates, but he didn’t expect them to come.
“You!”
Hancock’s face darkened. “If it’s Lord Luffy, then I will…”
“Think carefully before you speak, Hancock.”
Kuro directly interrupted Hancock and said to her in a gradually serious tone, “Shichibukai and ordinary pirates, choose one. At this moment, I don’t have time to play some small games with you. Since you are here, there are only two choices.”
He pointed and said, “Or, join this war.”
“Or…”
His fingers contracted into a fist.
“Killed by me.”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
Crocodile gave a high and strange laugh. “Of course I am interested in such a big scene.”
Mihawk sat up, the brim of his hat turned up, revealing his eagle-like eyes, and said slowly: “This is the destiny of the sea.”
“Oh? You don’t seem to care?” Kuro asked curiously.
Among the Shichibukai, Kuro knew that Rudolf and William would not rebel.
Katakuri might, but the probability is very small. The reason he accepted Shichibukai was to protect his family, but Big Mom was killed by him, which depends on his personal will.
Crocodile was a smart person. It was impossible for him not to know the situation in the New World now. There was no market for Yonkō (Four Emperors). There was a market for One Piece, but the premise was that he would not be killed in this war. Even if he wanted to rebel, it would be after this war.
As for the remaining three, Kuro could actually ignore them.
But the two most powerful are instead the two most likely to rebel, especially Hawkeye.
“I’ve been caught by you… I can’t stop you, especially you. As for the man who has made a name for himself as the ‘King of Hell’…”
Mihawk’s mouth curved into a smile. “I also want to fight him.”
Kuro looked at him deeply, then took out a cigar box from his chest pocket, picked up a cigar, lit it, and blew out the smoke. Then, he looked around and said:
“You have been Shichibukai for a while, and the contract I give you is very generous. Since the birth of the Shichibukai system, no one has given you a more generous contract than me, and everyone’s cooperation is quite pleasant, so please correct your position. Whether you want to be a pirate or my collaborator, it’s up to you.”
“But I have to remind you that my main battlefield is in the New World. If there are people who want to take advantage of me and want to be the so-called Yonkō (Four Emperors) again, it’s best to go now because I don’t have time during this time. When I have time, whether it’s Yonkō (Four Emperors) or Fifty-six Emperors, I will deal with them one by one.”
“Of course, you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing after the war is over. I still keep my word. No matter what, your system will still be retained. The sea is cruel and dangerous, and pirates… will not disappear. So be it.”
With that, he did not waste any more time talking to these people and left directly.
The Shichibukai system was kept by Kuro to keep Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the pirates of the Grand Line in check.
But now, this system is useless.
For the sake of old times, Kuro will still keep it, because pirates will not be completely destroyed, and he can set up a model for pirates after the war.
As long as he doesn’t drag them down on the battlefield, Kuro won’t care so much.
As Kuro left, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent again.
“Oh, boring.”
Crocodile stood up and also left.
“Then, I will take my leave.”
Rudolf bowed to everyone and left in another direction.
Immediately, William stood up and walked away.
“A straw hat…”
Katakuri thought for a moment and smiled. “I look forward to meeting you again.”
Then he left as well.
Bang!
Bucky, who was still eating, slammed the table with the hand holding the fork and gritted his teeth. “Damn Shanks, damn straw hat! See you on the battlefield!”
With Bucky gone, only Mihawk and Hancock are left in the hall.
“Are you still thinking? In that case, why don’t we talk about it when we get to the battlefield.”
Mihawk dropped this sentence, picked up the big black knife beside him, and left.
Only Hancock was biting her thumb and her face completely darkened.
Facing Luffy, she definitely did not want to fight and even wanted to deal with Marines with Luffy.
But …
She is the emperor of Amazon Lily.
Although Kuro is hateful, his contract does bring convenience. Now, Nine Snakes Island doesn’t need to rob to let people get supplies, and because he is in charge of a sea route, Nine Snakes Island has also been developed, which is what she sees.
For the sake of Hydra Island, she cannot give up this position unless Marine gives up Shichibukai.
But Lord Luffy…
Hancock is sure that Lord Luffy is no match for Kuro, even with me.
There is indeed news that Lord Luffy defeated Kaido, but even if he defeated Kaido, so what?
Although he had not seen him for a long time, Hancock knew that Kuro was becoming more and more terrifying!
