Kaku's fierceness was undisguised, and Rousseau saw it clearly at a glance.
Rousseau was stunned. He was escorting Kuro, and yet a Celestial Dragon's subordinate was glaring at him angrily?!
In a split second, countless possibilities raced through Rousseau's mind. He was bewildered, completely confused. What the hell was going on?!
Etc!
Suddenly, Rousseau seemed to realize something, and he asked Kaku incredulously.
"This... uh, this sir."
Could it be that Kuro is actually a subordinate of the Celestial Dragon?!
I really have no idea! Besides, I didn't arrest this guy; one of my sergeants arrested him!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Rousseau felt utterly aggrieved. He had absolutely no ability to retaliate against the Celestial Dragon's subordinates.
He was neither Admiral nor a meritorious Vice Admiral, and he had nothing special about him; his strength was also mediocre.
Besides having enough seniority to become a branch officer across the Four Blues.
Rousseau was just an ordinary, pathetic colonel who could be killed with a single breath from Celestial Dragon, and all that would happen is for Sengoku to submit two appeals to the Five Elders to clean up the mess!
Meanwhile, Kaku's cold eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Rousseau's words.
"So, only you and your current men know about capturing Kuro, right?"
He asked Rousseau in a cold voice, and then, without waiting for Rousseau's reply, he took a sudden step forward.
Wow!!!
With just one step, Kaku's step passed directly through Colonel Rousseau and through the thick mass of marines.
The next instant, Kaku stood in a lunge position behind the cage, his right hand gripping the neck of the so-called fake Kuro.
As Kaku's right hand fingers gradually tightened, and the thick veins on Fake Kuro's neck bulged out.
Click!
With a crisp crack, the fake Kuro died instantly.
It wasn't until seconds after the fake Kuro died that the sailors on the warship reacted. Rousseau turned around blankly and stared stiffly at Kaku, who was carrying a corpse.
At the same time, Kaku straightened up and casually tossed the fake Kuro's body onto the deck beside him.
Bang!
After the body hit the ground, Kaku looked at Rousseau with icy eyes and said...
Do you think this kind of trash is qualified to serve adults?
In your eyes, adults are so indiscriminate in their consumption of both meat and vegetables!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaku stomped his feet nearly thirty times on the floor in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he was already rushing towards Rousseau with the sound of wind.
Looking at the cold-faced Kaku, Rousseau was not intimidated by his strength. It was just a skillful display of the Six Powers. He, as the captain of the East Blue, was not so ignorant.
But he was even more stiff now, because he was afraid of Kaku's identity.
Kaku may be just a dangerous jackal, but behind him stand resting dragons and tigers!
For a moment, Rousseau's teeth even trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, Kaku stared coldly at Rousseau, noticing his fearful expression.
Rousseau finally couldn't hold back any longer, until Rousseau legs went weak.
"I... Is it possible for me to know what happened?"
He asked Kaku with difficulty, and Kaku gave him one last deep look before replying softly.
"This Kuro is a fake. You have all been deceived by Kuro. The real Kuro has already been killed in Syrup Village."
Before his death, he confessed to his actions, claiming that after killing a ship full of new recruits, he sent his hypnotist, Jango, to hypnotize the last remaining sergeant major, making him believe that he had captured Kuro.
At this point, Kaku paused for a moment in thought, then gently raised his right hand.
He patted Rousseau heavily on the shoulder, seeing the utter shock in Rousseau's eyes.
Rousseau's body trembled as Kaku's hand moved, while Kaku, seemingly nonchalant but actually emphasizing, continued speaking.
"By the way, Gawain discovered this matter himself. With his innate divine wisdom, he saw through Kuro's disguise at a glance."
Therefore, Colonel Rousseau.
The adult killed the real Kuro, but you're escorting another Kuro to Marine Headquarters...
Haha, Rousseau.
Are you using your actions to question the wisdom and vision of adults?
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaku released his hand from Rousseau's shoulder and felt great.
Because Gawain liked to use slapping gestures to express a variety of emotions, his men naturally adapted and got used to it.
At this moment, seeing Rousseau's trembling expression, Kaku also felt quite satisfied.
Feeling much better, he released Rousseau and returned to the Dark Bird Ship to report what had happened to Kalifa and Gawain.
As for Rousseau, who had been abandoned by Kaku, he stood blankly at the bow of the ship for a long time before Dawu what had happened and clenching his fist.
"It's all Morgan's fault!!!"
He said this with unwavering determination, while simultaneously gritting his teeth in hatred.
Morgan was actually a hypnotized idiot, and I was completely oblivious to this fool, letting him flaunt his heroism in front of me!!!
Rousseau was so angry that his hair stood on end. Without saying a word, he quickly returned to port after avoiding the Dark Bird Ship's route.
At this time, Morgan was still dreaming of a bright future in the 153rd Branch, where he was promoted to a cadre and appointed as the branch minister.
Little did he know, forget about his fantasies of becoming a colonel or branch chief; he was now even struggling to keep his sergeant position...
However, this way, Morgan wouldn't have to drag his hypnotized mind along to become the commander of the future 153rd Branch, and bully and oppress the villagers.
Moreover, once it was discovered that he was hypnotized, he would no longer be Luffy away by Luffy in the future. Then, when Garp was escorting him, he chopped Garp down with an axe and eventually wandered the world as a pirate.
Oh, and most importantly...
His son, though ugly and deformed, was actually timid yet kind-hearted.
He will likely have a more balanced and morally upright adolescence under the guidance of his returning father...
At the same time, Colonel Rousseau would not be replaced by Morgan and thus lose his position as branch chief because of this incident.
In short, it seems that everyone involved in this incident has secured a better future.
The only difference was... that poor... person dressed up as Kuro.
This guy, who originally had a chance to live a miserable life in prison, died under mysterious circumstances, and most people don't even know his name.
Does anyone know that Nukianu, the shipwright of the Black Cat Pirates, died at the hands of Kaku?
Ah, that's life. Good times and bad times are only temporary. As for the future and fate, they are all good at creating surprises in life.
A life worth living, even if it was unexpected, is worth remembering; people will mention his name after his death.
But a life that isn't worth living is probably like Nukianu's.
Even after his death, people didn't know his name...
As the Dark Bird Ship approached the Goa Kingdom, it entered Foosha Village, which belonged to the Goa Kingdom and was located at the foot of the back mountain of the Goa Kingdom, close to the dock.
A few people sat in Makino's tavern, drinking and talking about the events of the past two days.
The oldest among them was Up Woop Slap, the village chief of Foosha Village, who spoke with concern as he drank his wine with a frown.
"I really don't know if this is good or bad. I've received a rare phone call from a nobleman from the Goa Kingdom."
In the next few days, they could arrive at our village at any time, led by the princess, carrying a great treasure and delicious food.
It's said that many facilities in our village need to be temporarily rebuilt. It seems the Goa Kingdom has hired Four-Handed Tribe craftsmen to transform our village into a luxurious palace suitable for welcoming the Celestial Dragon???
As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Woop Slap looked at everyone with concern. Everyone sitting here was a shop owner who ran a business in the village.
These include Makino, who runs the Party Bar; Leonard, who runs the fruit shop and grocery store; Mr. Joru and Mrs. Chicken, who run the seafood shop; and Adi, who runs the blacksmith shop.
After making his rounds, and facing the worried looks of everyone present, Chief Woop Slap continued.
"Oh, I'm really worried about you guys."
Or rather, this old man is worried about everyone in the entire village!
However, compared to those who mainly focus on planting, you guys who run shops are more worrying.
Even if they were driven away by the nobles, they could find another place with a Gray Terminal, like the one they had back then, and continue to barely survive.
But if you shopkeepers are driven away, your money will be robbed by the nobles..."
After he finished speaking, Chief Woop Slap shook his head in silence, feeling that his worries might come true.
This time, Foosha Village might really suffer a lot of damage.
Meanwhile, looking at the silent Woop Slap, Makino managed a weak smile.
"Mr. Village Chief, I think that in the face of unnecessary worries, it might be more important to cherish today."
Besides, things might not turn out the way you expect.
Because I read in the newspaper that that brat Ace was on the Celestial Dragon's ship.
It's unbelievable that Ace has made a name for himself on the Grand Line and amassed a bounty of over 100 million in less than ten months since setting sail.
Most surprisingly, he actually gave up his pirate identity and became a subordinate of the Celestial Dragon...
At this point, Makino frowned slightly, then asked in confusion.
"Many years ago, because of the Celestial Dragon's visit to the Goa Kingdom, the Goa Kingdom had to urgently burn down the Gray Terminal."
Ace must have deeply hated those nobles, and even more so the Celestial Dragon who made them commit such heinous atrocities.
Also, because that noble boy who was very close to Ace and Luffy back then was named Sabo.
Because of what happened to him, Ace should also deeply hate the Celestial Dragon.
However, it's truly unimaginable that Ace would become Celestial Dragon's subordinate.
But no matter what, the Celestial Dragon who Ace accepted and pledged allegiance to wouldn't do anything to us, right?
Although the worry in Makino's eyes hadn't disappeared, she continued to speak optimistically.
"Furthermore, taking advantage of the Celestial Dragon' visit to the Goa Kingdom and their decision to settle in Foosha Village."
We can also take this opportunity to see that clumsy Ace again~.
After saying that, Makino forced a smile, and her gentle smile did indeed ease the tense atmosphere in the tavern a little.
Adi, a blacksmith, smiled and accepted Makino's words. Despite his seemingly rough and burly appearance, Adi possessed a composure and patience perfectly suited to his forging work.
He tapped on the bar after thinking for a moment, then spoke.
"Makino is right. The nobles come and go as they please. They have nothing to do with us."
Even if it were to welcome the Celestial Dragon, they wouldn't destroy the entire village, would they?
In short, let's all behave ourselves for the next few days. If the nobles need to requisition our shops, we'll just hand them over for now.
We can't fight them, so all we can do is try our best to protect ourselves.
Besides, Miss Makino is right!
That brat Ace is still under the Celestial Dragon' command!
That brat isn't one to stoop to such lowliness. Since he's on the Celestial Dragon's ship, then this Celestial Dragon must be no ordinary person!
Just like the newspapers said, this Celestial Dragon fought with Whitebeard, drank with Shanks, and even beat up that old geezer Garp!
Such Celestial Dragon couldn't possibly be some trashy nobleman; he must be someone like Shanks or Garp!
Because aren't all strong people smiling guys? So maybe our worries are just overthinking...???
Just as Adi finished speaking, a sudden commotion made Adi abruptly stop talking!
Following the sound, the people in the tavern quickly gathered near the window!
Right outside the window, near that dock filled with sailors.
Luffy's loud voice is yelling something over there!
The people in the tavern heard it clearly; Luffy was shouting at that moment.
Who are you people, you bastards!
Why did you demolish Andrew's house?!
You want me to send you flying, you bastards?!
Upon hearing these words, everyone in the tavern felt their hearts sink heavily.
Because they all recognize Andrew, the Luffy mentioned!
His home was located on the outskirts of Foosha Village, and the direction of his home happened to be the direction leading to the Goa Kingdom!
In other words... those nobles have already arrived, and not only have they arrived extremely quickly, they've brought the worst possible outcome!!!
They really seem to be planning to tear down Foosha Village to welcome that damned Celestial Dragon!!!
Meanwhile, at the village entrance, hundreds of guards dressed in knight's armor surrounded Andrew and his group's house, staring intently at the villagers who were gradually gathering, and at the little boy at the front of the villagers who was clenching his fists.
At this moment, the anger in Luffy's eyes almost literally burned out!!!
Just now, those guards violently pushed down Andrew's house, and then turned their attention to other people's houses!
That's everyone's house, everyone's hard work, Luffy will never allow them to do that!!!
Just as Luffy's angry gaze fell upon him, the guards who were confronting him and the villagers suddenly split into two groups and slowly dispersed to the sides.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely luxurious carriage gradually emerged from the noble procession behind the guards.
With the sound of the carriage curtain being lifted, a young man with a head of blond hair cut into an ugly mushroom shape stepped out.
He looked at Luffy arrogantly, then at the people behind Luffy.
Then he turned around and spoke respectfully to the person in the carriage.
"My dearest Princess Nandecanet, please do not be worried about what is happening before your eyes."
The so-called home of the commoners is not Koby to the arrival of the Celestial Dragon.
Besides, haha.
Even though we demolished their homes, we'll still leave them a few gold coins through our fingers, giving them compensation far exceeding the value of those houses, won't we?"
