Chapter 976
Chapter 976 – Treat Him First!
Kuro could not remember that Drake was a traitor.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have forgotten something in Sabaody Archipelago back then. It should be this.
...This is understandable. If it weren’t for me, the old man wouldn’t have caught anyone.
Fortunately, he released all of them in order to fish. Otherwise, he would have accidentally injured his colleagues.
Well… He didn’t do anything wrong back then!
Kuro found a legal reason for his slacking back then and praised it in his heart.
However, it has been more than two years since the incident. Now Drake is on Kaido’s side, and this guy seems to have become a “six-cell” and his status is not low. If he doesn’t leave, he can get a lot of information.
But in Kuro’s opinion, this is a little dangerous.
He is the Captain, so he has a team member. In addition to the Marine internal team members, the other traitors must also be wandering in the second half of the New World.
If he is the Captain, then it is not a big problem. At most, he will change his name and come back. But it is hard to say if he has joined other pirates.
“It’s best to come back when there is danger. After all, undercover is a high-risk profession and it is very easy to die,” Kuro suggested to Kizaru.
“Hehehe, when the time comes, there will be an inspection. Don’t worry… Of course, if you want to, you can take the lead in this matter…”
“Stop! I have a headache and my injury has relapsed. I went to rest.”
Kizaru did not even finish his words before Kuro stood up and walked out.
A suggestion is a suggestion, but he will not take over.
It was already annoying enough for him to coordinate the destruction of Shichibukai, but now he had to coordinate a group of pirates?
What is he doing? Is he a pirate boss or a Marine Vice-Admiral?
Kizaru watched Kuro leave. His sunglasses glowed and he maintained his smile. No one knew what he was thinking.
A few days later, the Battleship arrived at Headquarters.
Three Battleships docked at the same time and a flight of stairs extended from the side of the ship. On the stairs, two people led a team of Marine soldiers down.
At the port below, two Marine teams stood there and saluted the people coming down the stairs.
Kizaru took the lead and Kuro followed behind. He put his hands in his pockets and bit his cigar as he came down the stairs.
“Kuro!”
As soon as he came down, a small figure ran over.
“Oh… Lida.”
When Kuro saw them, he said, “You have already returned to the headquarters.”
“You came back long ago, are you… injured?” Leda looked up and down at Kuro, looking at the bandage that covered most of his body and said anxiously, “Wait a moment, I will treat you!”
“Give it to him first and treat him!”
Kuro pointed at Kizaru. “Heal him first!”
As for why he didn’t have such a big reaction, it was because Kuro felt that something was wrong these days. This old man always used his injury to make fun of him.
He said something along the lines of ‘Oh, I’m injured, why don’t you do it?’ and ‘Oh, Kuro, after this battle, I can retire’.
Kuro was so scared that his scalp went numb.
Treat him first!
His injuries were not serious to begin with. He just needed to treat them and recuperate for a while.
“Take your strength directly from me, don’t trouble others!” Kuro shouted.
Leda tilted her head and looked at him.
Did the sun rise from the west?
Doesn’t this person who is seriously lacking in safety usually treat himself first?
But it doesn’t matter. This is the headquarters, anyone can be treated first.
Leda nodded and patted Kuro.
“Gather Essence!”
Her knuckles trembled, and a large amount of essence energy poured into her body from Kuro, making Leda’s body almost rise with white gas.
After sucking for a while, Leda backhanded Kizaru.
“Grandpa Kizaru, treat your injuries.”
She pushed her palm hard. “Qi essence feedback!”
The essence energy poured into Kizaru’s body, causing white gas to appear on his body, which surprised him for a moment. He looked down at his body and felt the gradually healing internal injuries.
“Oh, can you do that? It’s so scary, Little Lida.”
“Of course, my ability is very useful!” Leda raised her head proudly.
“It’s enough. My injuries are almost healed and the rest of my recuperation is enough.” Kizaru chuckled.
Hearing this, Lida retracted her hand and continued to suck with one hand on Kuro, and her free hand was on Kuro again.
“Convert!”
The essence energy was absorbed by her and she began to give feedback through her other hand, allowing the injuries on Kuro’s body to heal quickly.
This conversion method is particularly convenient. Simply put, Leda is a medical transit station and Kuro uses his own physical strength to treat his injuries.
His physical strength is generally enough. Although his essence energy is in the Essence Energy Package, it is not a battle.
And he, Kuro, is strong enough to cure himself.
He twisted his neck and subconsciously wanted to remove the cumbersome bandage on his head, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held back.
I have to hold it in, hold it in. Now is not the time. At least I have to confirm that I am really idle in the Headquarters before doing such a thing.
“Are you done?”
Feeling the degree of essence feedback, Leda looked up and asked.
“Good… No, not good, forget it, that’s it, I can move normally, I just need to rest well.” Kuro emphasized the word “rest.”
“Admiral, Vice-Admiral.”
At this time, a Marine came over and saluted and said: “Marshal Sakasugi knows that you are back, please come to the office.”
“Got it. Prepare clothes for me. I’m still naked.”
Kuro pointed at his ‘bandaged clothes’ and said, “Also, the old man wants it too.”
Kizaru nodded with a smile.
“Yes, please follow me!” The Marine saluted again and led the two towards the largest building in Headquarters.
At the Peaceful Country, Kuro’s clothes have long been destroyed. The old man doesn’t seem to be much better than him. Although I haven’t seen him before, he was wearing the clothes of the Peaceful Country when he came, not the uniform of the Marine.
At their level, the material of their clothes is very expensive and not cheap.
But Marines are rich.
Not long after, Kizaru put on the yellow uniform, draped a cloak, and brought Kuro, who had also changed into the familiar golden uniform and cloak, to the Sky Guardian Pavilion of the tallest building.
There, where Sakaski waited.
As soon as they entered the office, Marine, who was in charge of leading the way, saluted again and then retreated obediently.
In front of the slightly dim desk, Sakasugi’s hat lowers the top half of his face, making it difficult to see his whole face, but there is a smile on his lips.
“It has been hard for you to come back from the Country of Peace. I have learned the specific information on your way back. Kuro… you have done well,” Sakasugi said in a deep voice.
