Chapter 40 I Want to Join the Seven Warlords of the Sea
"Haha, chatting with smart people saves time."
"I want to join the Shichibukai."
Kuro made his request.
"That's impossible. The Shichibukai is already full, and the World Government won't agree to add one more seat."
Sengoku refused without a second thought and joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What a bold idea, Pirate Kuro.
"Hahaha, this is not something I would consider, Marshal Zhan Guo."
"Oh, by the way, we have more than fifty navy soldiers visiting us."
Kuro said, waving his hand to issue an order.
Ah Er, who was next to the naval soldier, walked forward after seeing the order and started punching and kicking the group of soldiers.
"Ah! Damn pirates!"
"Stop it, you bastard!"
"Don't fight again!"
The navy soldiers screamed in pain as they were beaten.
Sengoku became furious as he listened to the wailing sounds coming from the Den Den Mushi.
"Kuro, you, are you going to declare war on the navy?!"
A cold question came from the angry Den Den Mushi.
"Of course not. I just want you to know that they are living comfortably at my place. If you come to pick them up, remember to bring gifts."
"If there are no gifts, I will bury them all!"
The murderous intent in Kuro's words was conveyed to Sengoku without any concealment.
"You guy!"
After Sengoku growled, he stopped talking and Kuro ignored him.
After a while, Zhan Guo said.
"I can't make the decision on the Seven Warlords' affairs. I need to consult the Five Elders."
Sengoku finally gave in. After all, Kuro was too far away from the Marine Headquarters, and even if Kizaru went out, he would not be able to rescue him in time.
"Of course, let me see, it's one, half past one in the afternoon, I want to hear good news."
"Otherwise, every ten minutes, a sailor will fall into the arms of the sea."
After saying that, Kuro hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Bastard guy!"
"boom!"
Zhan Guo smashed the desk with an angry punch, and the navy standing guard outside the door rushed in.
"What's wrong Marshal!"
"It's alright! Call Vice Admiral Tsuru, I have something to ask her."
"Roger that!"
After the soldier saluted, he quickly closed the door and went out to find Lieutenant General He.
"Huh, the Admiral is really terrifying."
Kuro threw the Den Den Mushi aside and leaned back in his chair.
"Captain, will the Navy allow us to join the Shichibukai?"
"I don't know, but even if they disagree, we won't suffer any loss. I just want to confirm who gave the order to encircle and suppress us."
Kuro looked at Clo beside him indifferently.
"Okay, let's get these guys onto our boat, and then notify Ryan that we're leaving here immediately."
"Although this place is far from the Navy Headquarters and they don't have time to rescue people, other Navy branches will still have time to come. Let's leave here first to avoid being surrounded."
"Also, take away all the valuables on the warship. They are completely our spoils of war."
"Understood Captain."
Clo adjusted his glasses, turned around and went to arrange everyone's action.
Kuro looked at the dilapidated warship, but his mind was thinking about something else.
He did not just say it casually when he proposed to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Given his current situation, if he killed a rat colonel, he would be surrounded by four warships.
If I kill these two vice admirals and all the marines, I won't have to do anything else and will just have to prepare for the admiral's pursuit all day long.
With my current strength, I will only be defeated if I face the general, so I only have two paths in front of me.
One is to join the Four Emperors, become a younger brother on their ship, and survive under the protection of the Four Emperors.
But this completely goes against the purpose of going to sea.
So this road goes straight to puss.
Another way is to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
As long as you become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the original wanted order will be stopped, and the World Government will no longer pursue all the crimes committed before.
This is very suitable for the current situation of the Kuro Pirates. If they succeed, the navy will no longer send people to encircle and suppress them.
At the same time, it also gives myself time to develop steadily.
What I lack most now is time. The foundation of the crew members has been laid. As long as there is enough time, the strength of everyone on the ship will grow rapidly.
"Phew, luckily the current marshal is Sengoku and not Akainu. If it was Akainu, he would have sent troops to hunt me down without even talking to me."
Kuro secretly felt lucky.
"Captain, I found a treasure in the storage room of the cabin."
Ah Er ran over, carrying two boxes in his hands.
"Oh? What baby?"
When he heard there was a treasure, Kuro also became interested.
"A devil fruit!"
"What!?"
Kuro suspected that he had heard it wrong. How could there be a devil fruit on a warship?
Ah Er didn't explain and directly opened the box on the left. Inside was a black fruit with red patterns on the edges.
Kuro saw there was another note inside.
He reached out and took out the note, which read:
Animal-type Dog-Dog Fruit, mastiff form.
"It really is a devil fruit. What kind of luck do you have, kid?"
After reading the note, Kuro looked at A-er and sighed, thinking that it was unreasonable for such a bastard like him to find a devil fruit.
Hearing the captain's praise, Ah Er touched his head shyly.
"I'm not praising you, asshole!"
"Okay, since you found it, it's yours. You have to work hard to use it, okay?"
When Ah Er heard the captain say that he had given it to him, he was completely stunned.
"Captain, it's a complete waste for me to eat the devil fruit. Give it to Brother Crow."
A Er quickly refused and wanted to give the fruit to Clo.
"Haha, go ahead and eat it, Er. The captain is right. Whatever you get is yours."
Crow looked at the devil fruit that was handed to him and pushed it over.
"You eat it. Here, Clo, I will arrange another fruit for him."
Hearing the captain and Brother Clo's insistence, Er no longer refused. He picked up the Dog-Dog Fruit and started biting it.
"Uh uh uh! Yueyue!"
"Disgusting!"
Although I asked Brother Ryan before, what does the devil fruit taste like?
Brother Ryan said that he wanted to die after eating it.
But A Er didn't expect it to be so unpalatable, not only because of the smell, but also because of the taste.
Ryan felt his entire body numb.
He lay on the ground and vomited for a while, but nothing came out.
As he spit, Ah Er's hands turned into thick dog paws, and his body turned into a dog's body, covered with black hair.
Finally, the head turned into a Tibetan mastiff's head.
"Wang!"
The entire dog was more than three meters long and pounced towards Kuro.
"Hahaha, you're causing trouble, bastard!"
Kuro smiled and lightly punched Er, knocking him flying.
"You'd better control yourself, Er."
After Kuro finished speaking, A'er's body shook and shrank, and finally turned into an orc form about two meters and eighty centimeters tall.
"Ah, Captain, I just wanted to thank you, why did you hit me?"
The dog man Ah Er stroked his swollen right cheek with his right paw, his mouth full of resentment.
"If you keep talking like that, I'll hit you."
"No more, Captain."
Ah Er quickly covered his mouth with his paws and shook his head.
