Chapter 161
I’ve Lost So Much
Not to mention the psychological activities of those idiots, Kuro finally arrived at the Holy Land, Mariejois.
Although he was sent flying by the bear, the bear didn’t seem to be flying in a straight line. Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t have been able to reach him in a day.
“Let’s rest in Mariejois first.”
Kizaru looked at Kuro’s injuries and suggested.
“Well…”
Kuro nodded. He really could not take it anymore.
Strictly speaking, apart from eating something in ‘Nine Snakes Town’, he had not eaten anything in the past few days.
And they fought two battles, especially Kaido, which was too intense.
He was tired and hungry. He had to finish his treatment quickly and find a place to eat.
The two of them descended from the sky. Kuro waved his hand and two swords followed behind.
“What a loss.”
Kuro smacked his lips. After a fight, except for the seawater, all the other stocks were used up. He did not dare to go to the New World to get the stocks back.
I have to re-collect them, Kuro thought. I knew it would not be enough.
At this time, Mariejois is a little different. There are many Marines in the Golden Palace. Kizaru waved his hand and a major was stunned for a moment and walked over.
“Admiral Kizaru!” He saluted and said.
“This is Lieutenant Colonel Kuro, my subordinate. Listen to his orders, I will leave first.”
Kizaru said to Kuro, “Kuro, you should rest in Mariejois first. Granny Crane should be here. After that, follow Granny Crane to the headquarters.”
With that, he waved his hand and turned to leave. “I have to go back and deploy. I don’t have much time here.”
“Got it, Old Master, you go first.”
Kuro nodded vigorously.
“By the way, Major Job, keep an eye on him. Don’t let him out of your sight. You must let him follow Granny Crane.”
Kizaru suddenly said to the major before he left.
“Yes! Admiral Kizaru.” The major saluted again.
These words made Kuro’s face collapse.
This old guy saw through my thoughts?
He had wanted to drag it out at Mariejois.
Seeing Kizaru leave, Major Job looked at the gloomy Kuro and said carefully, “Lieutenant Colonel Kuro?”
“What are you waiting for? Can’t you see that I’m covered in injuries? Take me to the medical room and find me a suitable scabbard for these two swords.”
Kuro glared at him and reached out to take off his tattered Marine cloak. At the same time, he took off the damaged golden earrings on his earlobes and threw them to Job along with [Sakura 10] and [Wood Wither].
“Bring me another set of clothes. The earrings are broken. Mariejois should have a good handicraft. Get me a pair. And get a box of good cigars.”
“Yes! Lieutenant Colonel, please follow me!”
Major Job held his cloak and the earrings and swords on it with both hands, straightened his legs and said to Kuro.
Then, he took Kuro to the medical room and asked the doctor to treat Kuro.
The injuries that Kuro suffered were indeed not light. The skull of his head showed signs of damage, a few ribs were cracked, his internal organs were slightly displaced, and all the external and internal injuries were complete.
This was the ‘spoils of war’ he got after the battle with Kaido.
Apart from being injured, he did not get any benefits and even used up all his stock for nothing.
This treatment lasted all morning. Kuro sat on the bed and several nurses bandaged him. A nurse was wrapping his forehead and he could smell a faint fragrance.
“Miss, are you free tonight?” Kuro looked up at her.
The nurse covered her mouth and smiled. “I’m already married, Lieutenant Colonel Kuro.”
“Isn’t that more… Ah, no, then forget it.”
Kuro suddenly changed his tune because Major Job suddenly appeared with several Marines, who were holding clothes, capes, ear ornaments, swords stuffed into scabbards, and a box of cigars.
Kuro waved at the Marine holding the cigar. The Marine also shivered, opened the cigar box, took out a cigar and carefully put it in his mouth, then turned on the lighter and lit it for Kuro.
“Hu…”
Kuro bit the cigar and took a puff. The smoke brewed in his mouth for a while before he exhaled.
He hadn’t smoked for a few days and was bored to death.
“Annoying, Lieutenant Colonel, you can’t smoke here.”
The bandaged nurse tightened the bandage on Kuro’s head, waved the smoke and said with a smile, “It’s already bandaged.”
“What does it matter? I’m the only patient.” Kuro smiled and looked at the suit.
“Let’s put it on you, Lieutenant Colonel Kuro.”
The nurse laughed, took the set of clothes, and put it on Kuro with the nurses.
After putting on the shirt, leather shoes, and the golden formal suit for Kuro, the two nurses each held a brand new earring and tightened Kuro’s earlobes.
At this time, Kuro stood up and the nurse put the Marine cloak on him.
“Ah, how handsome, Lieutenant Colonel Kuro.”
After putting it on, the nurses took a few steps back, and several of their eyes lit up.
Kuro randomly found a mirror and looked over. Above his neat and wrinkleless golden formal suit was the face of a certain person in his previous life. Although his forehead was bandaged, he did not look injured at all. Instead, he looked a little cold.
It’s over if he’s handsome!
Kuro was always very satisfied with his appearance.
He waved his hand and asked Marine to take his two swords and hang them on his waist with his [Autumn Water].
“Cuckoo—”
After doing all this, his stomach growled.
“Hey, is there a place to eat?” Kuro asked Major Job.
“There is, but…”
Major Job was about to say something when he saw Kuro walk out. “Then lead the way, but my ass, I’m starving.”
“Yes!” Major Job saluted and ran in front of Kuro and led him forward.
… .
Mary Joa, banquet hall.
A row of Marines stood there with their backs straight. Their faces were sweating and they would occasionally swallow dryly.
In the middle of the banquet hall, there were a few giants sitting, and several of them were eating heartily.
Opposite them was a row of Marines, the lowest of whom was a Rear Admiral. In the center of the row sat an old woman with her fingers crossed and her chin on her fingers, like a commander.
Her face was very indifferent, as if she could not see the few giants opposite her that exuded a dangerous aura.
On the other hand, the nearby Marines were sitting there nervously.
Suddenly, the door of the banquet hall opened with a creak and a group of people looked over.
There, a golden figure slowly walked over.
However, before he could take a few steps, the figure suddenly stopped and then stepped in.
“Lieutenant Colonel Kuro, I won’t go in.”
Job stood at the door, afraid to go in. He said something to Kuro and closed the door with the Marines.
“Oh? It’s you. Did you have a good trip?” Crane saw the person and smiled.
Kuro pursed his lips and stared hatefully at one of the giants. Then he walked over to Crane, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Opposite him was Shichibukai.
