What a Golden Legend
In the port warehouse.
Crowe watched Den Den Mushi’s eyes close and opened his mouth. His eyes moved from Den Den Mushi to the huge thing that was shining with golden light. The dazzling degree of the golden light made him lean back and his eyes almost didn’t open.
“Wow! Gold!”
At the side, Leda’s excited voice sounded. In the golden light, a figure was jumping around as if he was investigating something.
Under the golden light, the outline of white hair appeared faintly, reflecting platinum.
Under this contrast, the dazzling golden light presented the outline of a ship in Crowe’s eyes.
Too bright.
So bright that Crowe was a little blind.
This thing …
“Inu Lan!”
Crowe directly turned into a five-meter-tall werewolf and scratched with his claws, triggering a large number of slashes towards the golden light.
Chi chi chi!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The slash entered the golden light and made an ear-piercing crisp sound.
Crowe was stunned for a moment, as if he had given up on something. He turned into a human and looked at Wilbur in disbelief. “You call this ordinary?”
“Yes, I know I haven’t done well enough, I haven’t reached the ‘ordinary’ realm as Mr. Kuro said.”
Wilbur bowed his head in shame. “There should be more, more, more good materials, but this is my limit. Sorry, Colonel Crowe.”
“No, I mean…”
“Don’t worry about it, Wilbur!”
Before Crowe could finish his sentence, Kaz rushed forward and slapped Wilbur on the shoulder. “You have done your best! Although it is not satisfactory, this is your limit. You will definitely surpass this limit in the future!”
“Kaz!”
Wilbur looked at him, touched.
“Wilbur!”
Kaz’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Let’s work hard together and contribute more to Mr. Kuro!!”
“Oh!!!” Wilbur shouted excitedly.
Looking at the two of them ‘like each other’, Crowe pushed up his glasses helplessly and didn’t want to talk anymore.
Whatever, he doesn’t care anymore.
He was powerless to stop this thing.
So be it!
Headquarters Port, Battleship docking area.
Kuro bit his cigar and waited in boredom.
Some Marines passing by saluted him. Kuro nodded and watched them pass by. He smacked his lips and said, “Why are you so slow? Can you drive a ship so slowly?”
“Kuro.”
Behind him, a familiar voice sounded.
Kuro turned around and saw Tina coming over with Femboldi and Zangor. “What are you doing? Tina is curious.”
Femboldi and Zangor saluted together and straightened their bodies. “Vice Admiral Kuro!”
Kuro nodded and blew out a mouthful of smoke. Under Tina’s curious eyes, he said, “Wait for the ship. My ship is ready. Wait for them to sail out and then go back to East Blue for a vacation.”
“It’s good to have a vacation. Tina is very envious.”
Tina crossed her arms. “After this mission, Tina is also going on vacation. I heard that your Pegasus Island is very fun.”
“Go, go. Marine will give a 50% discount in the past. If an acquaintance goes over…”
Kuro thought for a moment and took out a cigar box from his chest pocket and gave a cigar to Tina. “Take it. With this token, I will give you a 30% discount.”
“Such a good deal, Tina is very grateful.”
Tina took the cigar. “By the way, don’t you make money with this discount?”
“It’s just a small amount of money. If you lose it, then you lose it. It’s not worth caring about. If you go more, the safety of Pegasus Island is also guaranteed.” Kuro waved his hand.
Pegasus Island has made a lot of money, and Kuro is not interested in money, as long as there is enough.
Giving Marine a 50% discount naturally can’t make the store lose money. The surplus is for him to subsidize the store, but the amount of subsidies is a drop in the ocean. He still makes a profit overall.
Moreover, this will make Marines come to his Pegasus Island more often. No matter what, he will not lose out.
As for pirates…
Pirates are also discounted.
Break a bone.
“Tina is very grateful. Then wait for your flagship. Speaking of which, choosing that kind of flagship is very much in line with your style, Kuro.” Tina was surprised.
“Yeah, I’m that low-key.” Kuro smiled confidently.
“Keep a low profile…”
Tina narrowed her eyes and picked up the cigarette beside her mouth. She also blew out the smoke and smiled. “Sure enough, it’s your style. Tina will leave first.”
Watching Tina get on the ship, Kuro tilted his head. “Of course I’m low-key. What does that expression mean? Don’t you believe me? I, Kuro, am known as Mr. East Blue.”
Just as he finished speaking, a ball of golden light suddenly emerged from the sea at the side. The golden light pierced Kuro’s eyes slightly and his head subconsciously turned to the side.
It took him a long time to get used to the golden light. He took a closer look and gasped.
“Hiss!”
It was a ship, a ship much larger than the big Battleship. The entire Battleship had a hull made of steel, and many steel plates were attached to the hull of the ship, which was inlaid with tight seams. On the surface of the hull, there were paintings that looked like dragons and lions. They seemed to be painted in gold.
Above the hull, the dragon-and-lion-like sculpture was like a building on the eaves, the entire edge of the ship.
In the center of the ship, there was a large number of buildings. It was not so much a ship as a small fortress group. They were all painted with gold paint that looked like dragons and lions.
Behind the largest fortress, there was a big sculpture that looked like a dragon and a lion, with a goat head, looking up at the sky. The goat head opened its mouth and kept spraying steam as the ship moved.
At the same time, the sculptures on the edge of the ship were also emitting a small amount of white steam.
On the bow of the ship, there is a domineering and mighty sculpture of a head with a closed mouth that looks like a dragon and a lion with horns. It is different from those painted in gold. This thing is made of gold!
A very golden steamship!
“What a f*cking golden legend!”
This ship made Kuro open his mouth in shock. “Who is so bold to sail this ship out? Aren’t they afraid of being robbed by pirates?”
Then, he saw that the flag above this ship and that fortress group was the Marine flag.
“Battleship? It’s so bold, isn’t it just a live target?!”
Kuro rubbed his chin. “Who is it, so bold?”
He thought for a while and suddenly knocked his head and said in surprise, “Is it mine?”
“Just kidding.”
Kuro chuckled. “How can it be mine? I instructed it to be an ordinary Battleship. So, this is Smoker’s? It’s a little like that. This guy is more arrogant, and he’s a smoker. Steam suits him.”
