Chapter 3
Florida’s Treasure
The death of Colmore made the remaining pirates give up resisting and obediently capture him.
In the office, Kaz, who had been simply bandaged, was so excited that his beard turned into waves.
“Cao Chang, six million pirates, this is a great achievement. You can definitely go further.”
“Cass, you have to remember that this is not the credit of me alone. This is the credit of many Marines. As you can see, it is you who caused harm to Colmore. It is you who killed Colmore. I only made a small contribution.”
Kuro said righteously.
“Cao Kuro…”
Kaz’s moved tears were coming again.
Kaz is an old Marine. He has seen a lot of people who praise themselves for destroying a pirate group. It’s either he has unparalleled combat power or he is commanding a Marine superior.
And someone like Kuro would actually admit that it was a joint Marine contribution. It was too rare!
How glorious it is.
Such a Marine can never stop here!
“I understand, Kuro!”
Kuro nodded in satisfaction. “Then go out and count the spoils.”
“Yes!”
After Kaz went out, the Marines were constantly moving the loot from the pirate ship, and all of them were smiling.
Although Colmore is dead and the bounty will be reduced by 30%, they can still receive this money.
Pirate’s Bounty Order is not set up solely for bounty hunters. The purpose of setting it up in the beginning is to stimulate the enthusiasm of Marines.
It was only later that the profession of bounty hunter appeared.
“Cass, there are so many spoils of war, plus the head of Colmore, everyone has made a great contribution this time!”
A Marine grinned.
“Yes, Captain Kaz, if I go back, I should be able to advance one level. This is a big pirate!”
Marine said excitedly.
He was a private.
“Bastard, don’t be arrogant!”
Kaz roared, “Who do you think did all this! Is it you? No, it’s Captain Kuro! If it wasn’t for Captain Kuro taking the lead, where did you get the courage to deal with that monster! You actually let your superior put himself in danger. Do you still deserve to be a Marine?”
The Marines looked guilty.
“But even so, even so…”
Kaz’s tears gushed out and he shouted, “Cao Kuro still thinks of us. He said that this credit belongs to everyone. Cao Kuro remembers each of your contributions. He was clearly the most injured and gave the most, but he still remembers us. Such a superior, such an officer… Do you still have the face to think about your own credit? You are the honor of the Marine!”
“Cao Kuro…”
“Wuwuwu, Chief Kuro is really a good officer. I will follow Chief Kuro all my life!”
“Yes, with a good officer like Cao Chang, I am willing to be a second-class soldier for the rest of my life!”
“Wuwuwu, Director Kuro, I will definitely work hard and not embarrass you!”
The Marines also burst into tears.
“A man with glory like Chairman Kuro must not just be Chairman Kuro. We must let East Blue know the name of Chairman Kuro!” Kaz said seriously.
“Let East Blue know the name of Kuro!”
The deck immediately became noisy.
… .
“What are those idiots arguing about again.”
Screech.
Kuro wiped a match and lit the cigarette. He listened to the noise outside and frowned.
Everyone in One Piece World is sick. They cry and make a fuss whenever they want. It is extremely exaggerated.
“Hu…”
He blew out a smoke ring and leaned back contentedly.
“My acting should be okay. When the time comes, everyone will get a share of the credit for capturing Colmore. If my existence is downplayed, I will not attract attention. The pirates are also captured and the sea is calm. I am also safe. Oh, perfect.”
Clam is one of the moves of the Obscure God Wind and Azure Dragon. It should be the same move as the ‘Flood Dragon’.
The effect is to manipulate the blood in the body of the victim, causing them to hallucinate and tear from the inside of the body.
With the thick skin of Kormo, which can’t even be broken by a gun, how can a weapon cause any damage? It’s all because of his blood manipulation.
Do you think you caused Colmore’s harm?
No, it’s me, Kuro!
After a while, Kaz knocked again.
“Come in.”
“Cao, the spoils of war have been counted. There are 200,000 Berries and several treasures.”
Kuro nodded. “It’s customary.”
“Yes!”
Marine’s usual practice is to turn them in. However, ZF is rich, and Marine is also rich. After all the spoils of war are handed over, 30% of them will be deducted and distributed to the combat Marine.
It had never failed.
This saved him the trouble of swallowing the spoils of war and reselling them.
So being a Marine is also a very comfortable thing, especially a Marine who doesn’t have to fight for his life.
“In addition, there is a treasure map…”
Kaz hesitated for a moment before putting the treasure map on the table.
“Treasure map?”
Kuro was just a little interested, but when he looked at the treasure map, he suddenly lost interest.
“The treasure of Florida? People still believe in this.”
The treasure map was very simple and could vaguely be seen to be a local jurisdiction sea area. There were a few routes that looked like a simple drawing on it, and the target was an island.
The treasure of Florida is a legend that has been circulating in recent years.
Legend has it that a great pirate named Florida plundered the treasures of an entire kingdom and hid them on an island.
Such treasure maps appear once in a while, and Kuro has seen countless of them, and the location is different every time.
Over time, no one believed it anymore.
However, there will always be some people who will collect such treasure maps and try to find the so-called ‘treasure’.
“I also don’t think it’s credible,” Kaz said. “Then Cao, should we return?”
Kuro nodded and said, “Then let’s…”
“Report!”
A Marine suddenly stood at the door, saluted, and said: “Cao Kuro, Captain Kaz, the branch department has sent a fax saying that they have caught Rolo Noah Zoro.”
“Huh? The famous Pirate Hunter? Why did you catch him?” Kaz frowned.
“It’s said that it’s because he offended Young Master Berule.”
“It’s that Beru Merber again!” Kaz said angrily.
“Cao Chang, if you are a colonel, that would be great.”
He looked at Kuro and heard Kuro say, “Then let’s go to the location of the treasure map.”
“?”
“Chief Kuro?” Kaz was confused.
Kuro said, “Cass, don’t underestimate such a treasure map. Florida’s treasure will be circulated every year. If it’s fake, why are there still people who are tirelessly collecting such a treasure map?
We are Marines. We have to be serious in everything we do. The fake ones only take some effort, but if they are real, that is the treasure of a kingdom. If those people lose their property, will they have a bad life and will they not have enough to eat? The sins of pirates need us Marines to end them and protect civilians. This is the responsibility of Marines!”
“Yes! Captain Kuro, I will change course immediately!”
Kaz’s face turned serious and he saluted.
Those who know nautical skills are rare talents, and on this ship, no one knows nautical skills better than Cass.
