Chapter 296
Marine’s Matters, How Can You Call It Greedy Weapons
“How can you slander people out of thin air…” Kuro said with wide eyes.
“What innocence? I saw with my own eyes the day before yesterday that you rolled a batch of scrapped weapons into the sky. You are just craving other people’s weapons.”
Hearing Leda’s words, Kuro’s face turned red and the veins on his forehead popped out. He argued:
“How can a Marine’s matter be called greedy for other people’s weapons!”
There were some difficult words in succession, such as ‘contributing to the cause of justice’ and ‘fighting evil’, which made Leda sneer and the office was full of happy air.
In Kuro’s defense, Marines had tied up all the fainted people on the merchant ship and sent them down, and then began to search the ship.
In addition to those large-caliber heavy cannons, a large number of weapons were found in their cabin!
Or rather, other than the necessary supplies, the ship is full of weapons!
In the office, Kuro picked up a knife and examined it. The reflection on the blade reflected his eyes. It was a tachi, and there was a saber and broadsword next to it.
Kuro put down the knife and picked up the long musket at the side. He raised it in front of him and put it down again.
“This fucking weapon dealer…”
The ship was full of weapons. What else could it be if not a weapons dealer?
And the quality of this weapon can be said to be very good.
Kuro’s fingers swept across the blade of the katana he put down, “It has a paralyzing effect. The ore used to make the weapon seems to be very special, strange…”
Kuro has some impression of this ore, but he can’t remember it clearly.
Crowe pushed up his glasses and said, “There are 80 heavy cannons, 5,000 swords, 3,000 firearms, and countless lead bullets. With this level of firepower, we can fight a war.”
“There are many countries that are currently at war in the West Blue, including the previous owner of this island, the ‘Twin Horse Kingdom’, but the biggest war at present is the war between the ‘Flower Country’ and the ‘Insect Country’.
“Mr. Kuro, this is very likely sold to that side.”
As a strong country in the West Blue, the War of the Flower Country is not comparable to the War of the Twin Horse Kingdom.
But equally, they would need weapons.
“Are they awake?” Kuro thought about it and asked.
“He’s awake and is being watched by Cass and others. He’s in the square,” Crowe replied.
Kuro nodded and stood up. “Then let’s go and see…”
As he spoke, he took out a cigar and lit one. He went down from the office and walked towards the square from the base.
… .
In the square, a group of people were tied up by ropes, while Marines stood around, holding guns and forming a human-shaped round wall.
“Hey, let go of me, you Marines!”
In the crowd, a round, luxuriously dressed businessman was still struggling.
“We are law-abiding civilians. If you catch us, you will be punished! I have a connection with a senior official of the World Government. We have a good personal relationship. If you catch me, you will be punished!”
“Shut up!”
Kaz stood in front of him. The brave and determined face on his beard made the merchant lose his focus for a moment. He was stunned and didn’t know what to say.
“Justice Marine will not be coerced by a guy like you who attacks towns in chaos!” Kaz pointed at him with a righteous face.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. I heard that there are pirates here and I just want to destroy them. I am a good person, a good person!” The merchant retorted.
“Come on, good people don’t attack Battleships. We found a lot of weapons on your ship. You must be a bad person!” Kaz said righteously.
“Hey! The World Government does not prohibit the sale of weapons. Even if I collect weapons and sell them, so what!” The businessman shouted again.
This made Kaz pause. That seemed to be right. The government did not prohibit the sale of weapons, and Marines did not include fighting this kind of business.
“You f*cking attacked Marines and you still have a reason?”
Suddenly, the human wall opened a path and Kuro walked in with a cigar in his mouth.
“Colonel Kuro!”
When Kaz saw who it was, he subconsciously saluted.
“Colonel?”
The merchant was stunned and looked at the somewhat arrogant man. “Hey, you should understand if you are a colonel. You have no reason to arrest me. I did not cause any substantial harm to your Marine. Be careful, I will ask the World Government to demote you!”
The businessman had nothing to say to the bearded man who looked righteous but had a low military position, but the colonel would definitely understand something.
They must be afraid of the World Government. This person is so young and has become a colonel. He will not let me demote him easily.
Kuro walked up to him and spat a mouthful of smoke on his face, choking him and making him cough. “Attacking Marines is not counted as threatening Marines. You are very capable.”
“Ahem, don’t be too arrogant, Marine! You can’t judge my crime. As long as I go back, you will pay the price!”
“Really? You can really do it and I will return you one-tenth of the weapon,” Kuro said.
The merchant was shouting, but when he heard this, he suddenly froze. “Wait, give me back one-tenth? What did you do to my important goods, Marine!”
“Huh?”
Kuro picked his ear. “Your merchandise? How would I know about your merchandise? It’s my Pegasus Island Marine Base that has purchased a new batch of weapons, but what does this have to do with you?”
He would not return the weapon. He had not spat out the things in his pocket.
“Hey, that is a specialty of the Country of Peace. Your World Government also has a deal with me. You have to think carefully, Marine!”
The merchant threatened, “That will make you unable to even stay in the Marine. You have to think carefully. Let me go now and return the goods to me. I will pretend that this never happened.”
Country of Peace specialty?
Kuro was stunned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he punched his fist into his palm and said, “Oh, I see. It’s ‘Alcoholic Iron Ore’. I was wondering why I remembered it.”
Wine Iron Ore, a specialty ore of the Country of Peace. Could it be that he would feel a numbness in his weapon?
But the right to sell weapons in the Country of Peace…
“Yes, it should be sold to the Country of Insects.”
That right to sell was in Joker’s hands, which was Doflamingo’s.
Doflamingo, on the other hand, was one of the promoters of the Kano Country War, because he sold a large number of weapons to the enemy countries in the Underworld.
“Let them go and leave one boat for them. The rest will be put in the treasure vault… No, confiscated.”
Kuro waved his hand and left without looking at the merchant.
“Mr. Kuro…”
Crowe followed and whispered, “Are we just going to let them go? Why don’t…”
A ruthless look appeared in his eyes.
“What do you want to do? They are not pirates. The thing is in my hands. Besides, I have my own ideas. Just do it.”
Kuro smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Didn’t you hear what they said? They are going to the World Government to pull some strings and demote him.
A demotion!
He couldn’t wait for such a good thing. What if he succeeded?
Even if it doesn’t work, he will definitely not be satisfied with me buying so many goods from him. When the time comes, he will definitely come to take revenge and bring weapons again.
Then he would have another stock.
Who would complain about having more trump cards?
When the time comes, he will catch them and release them and catch them again. In this way, the weapons will be endless.
It was not a loss for him.
