Second Stage
After another day, they finally returned to Pegasus Island.
Without the Pirate Alliance, the situation on Pegasus Island was getting better day by day. In just a few days, these civilians had regained their vigor and spontaneously went to the streets to start activities.
Repair buildings were repaired, shops were opened, and the town began to burst with vitality.
Although there is only one town left on this island, as time goes by, there will always be people coming to settle down. In a few decades, Pegasus Island will become a prosperous island.
The Battleship docked at the port and Kuro and others came down. When the residents saw them, they greeted them with a smile.
“It’s Colonel Kuro, Colonel Kuro is back!”
“And Major Crowe, hello, Major Crowe, are you back from your mission?”
“Ah, Major Lida, do you want to eat fresh roasted sweet potatoes?”
“Yes!”
Leda’s eyes lit up and she instantly rushed to the front of the shop. A smiling auntie stuffed a steaming roasted sweet potato into her mouth.
Crowe returned the greetings with a smile.
Yes, this is how it should be. This is a peaceful life.
There are no unnecessary fights, only a peaceful atmosphere. This is his ultimate goal.
There was nothing wrong with being a Marine.
He was worried about Mr. Kuro’s approach before, but if it really succeeds, they will all live here quietly and peacefully.
How wonderful!
The group of people passed through the town and arrived at the Marine base in the center, but the usual training sounds did not appear. There were only dozens of Marines stationed here.
“Colonel Kuro!”
The highest-ranking officer stationed here was a second lieutenant. When he saw Kuro return, he quickly saluted and said.
“Where’s Cass?”
Seeing so few people, Kuro’s eyelids jumped and he asked worriedly.
“The Twin Horse Kingdom sent a call for help a few days ago. Captain Kaz went to clear the pirates.” The Second Lieutenant said truthfully.
“Just to clear the pirates?”
Kuro heaved a sigh of relief. There were no powerful pirates in West Blue. Even if he caught them, he would not be promoted.
How can there be so many big pirates for Kaz to catch?
If it was really a pirate with more than 100 million yuan, Kaz’s ability is not bad, but it is not so easy to catch him. It is not like the situation at the top, pirates will definitely run away when they encounter Marines.
It’s just catching pirates, no problem.
Kuro shook his head and walked into the base.
After returning to Pegasus Island, he was naturally free to move around.
Lida had nothing to do and ran to the street. As for Crowe, he seemed to have not recovered from being greeted by the residents and went to the town again.
As for Kuro, he returned to the top office and reclined in a chair, biting a cigar and looking out the window. He was calm and relaxed.
“At this time, I should have a bottle of red wine from the 1482 Sea Round Calendar and a piece of beef produced by the Country of Peace… No, the Country of Peace hasn’t produced beef for a long time. That idiot Kaido doesn’t even know how to export his specialties and only knows how to make weapons.”
Kuro cursed and summoned a Marine and asked him to instruct the chef to cook.
When he got home, of course he had to enjoy it.
For a comfortable person like him, the purpose of being a Marine is to eat, drink, and live comfortably with public funds. He even has a little power.
In the era of the Great Voyage, beauties are still beauties. Champagne and red wine restaurants are still the same, but luxury cars have been replaced by warships.
So, back then, Femboldi lived really well.
And think of myself…
What a f*cking failure!
“I finally made it.” Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and thought happily.
“Colonel Kuro.”
There was a knock on the door and a Marine came in and reported, “Mayor Jagul is here with the hot spring diggers.”
“Dig a hot spring?”
Kuro thought about it for a moment and nodded. “Let him in.”
Soon, Jagul came in with a tall man.
“Colonel Kuro, we have invited the famous hot spring digging man, the most famous hot spring curator of the Grand Line, Nirvana!”
Jagul smiled at Kuro.
“Thank you, Mayor Jia.”
Kuro nodded and looked at the tall man. This man had darker skin and was wearing purple clothes. He bit his upper lip and rolled his eyes. He looked very serious and just stood in front of him with his arms crossed.
His hairstyle is very interesting. It’s like a spider’s foot sticking out from his body, and on his back, there is a pair of white wings like chicken wings.
“Sky islander?” Kuro was stunned and looked at Nirvana.
Nirvana still had the same serious expression and did not make a sound.
“How strange, Sky Islander actually came down. Hey, do you know Enel?” Kuro continued to ask.
Nirvana remained in his position without saying a word.
“Mute?” Kuro looked at Jagul with a strange expression. “You found a mute?”
“No, it’s not.”
Jagul suddenly patted Nirvana and said anxiously, “Nirvana, Colonel Kuro asked you a question!”
After being patted, Nirvana finally reacted. His body moved and his eyes were still rolled back, but there was a strange expression on his face.
“I, have spoken.”
“???”
When did you say that? Am I deaf?
Kuro pursed his lips and stared blankly at Nirvana. Suddenly, he thought of something and clapped his hands. “Oh! It’s you!”
This disconnected look reminded him of something.
Isn’t this one of the four priests of Enel?
Because he often rolled his eyes and couldn’t see anyone, he often muttered in his heart and forgot what he was doing. When he came back to his senses, he was already done.
If he is here, it means that Enel is really gone and went to the Moon to find his infinite land.
“Okay, okay, Mayor Jia, take him to see which place is suitable for digging hot springs and let him start work.” Kuro lost interest in discussing with this person.
What’s there to talk about with an idiot? It’s not fun to be infected.
“Colonel Kuro, my name is Jagul…”
“Got it, Mayor Jia. Take him to Mayor Jia.” Kuro waved his hand and asked Jagul to retreat with his men.
“Enelu… It’s really a pity about that fruit. If I had known that Leda was here, I should have gone to the Sky Island when I went to Headquarters.” Kuro said with pity.
Float is good, but it smells good.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit, one of the top fruits of the Logia, is so fragrant that even Kuro craves it.
Although Leda said that the attribute of Strong Luck King might not be available every time, for example, this time, he specially stared at the risk of being bitten by Leda on the ship and searched her backpack, but he did not see any Devil Fruit.
But in the past, 80% of them could be opened.
If he had gone straight to the Sky Island and killed Enel, he might have been able to drive it.
“Forget it, it’s useless to think about this. I’d better develop Piaopiao, I am now…”
Kuro clenched his fists and looked at the sky through the window. “It seems that I don’t need to waste my energy.”
Except for the physical consumption when he first activated his ability, he no longer consumed physical energy to maintain those things in the sky.
He had reached the same realm as Golden Lion before, the second stage of his ability.
