Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 65 Plan

Amidst enthusiastic applause and Udo's encouragement, Kro walked onto the stage in a daze, only to look at the crowd below who were also cheering for him.

What's going on?

How did he get up here?

Could it be that the naval captain was also planning to bribe him?

Don't be ridiculous. What about him now is there that's worth buying off?

Even if you don't bribe him, he'll still stay here and work honestly.

Just as Kro was staring blankly at the scene before him, not understanding what was going on...

"I've heard about it too!" Captain Xia Che, a member of the 16th Naval Division, walked over with a look of emotion, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you so much for your hard work. Although it was only a few days, everyone saw how hard you worked. Many trainees came up to me to express their gratitude for Coach Kuro's hard work and teaching."

"???"

Does he have it?

Hearing Xia Che's words, Kro blinked, still looking confused.

Doesn't he just go over there every day to teach casually, and then find a place to sit down leisurely and wait for lunch?

Is it very hard?

At this time.

Before Chloe could say anything...

"If you don't believe me, ask the students." Xia Che interrupted Klo, who was about to speak, and called out with a smile, "Come on! Everyone, tell me!"

"Who... directed your training, shed so much sweat and toil for you, yet never uttered a single complaint?"

The voice just fell.

Unsurprisingly.

Another round of applause rang out.

Everyone shouted, "It's Teacher Chloe!"

The words "Teacher Chloe" immediately resounded throughout the entire venue, causing Chloe, who was still in a daze, to tremble slightly.

But that's not all.

"Who selflessly dedicated their years to teaching you with all their heart and soul?"

"It's Teacher Chloe!"

"Who, like a diligent gardener, nurtures you, cares for you, and teaches you?"

"Teacher Chloe!"

"Who actively taught you to look towards the future with optimism, to see the future with hope, and to view life with optimism?"

"Teacher Chloe!"

"It's Teacher Chloe!"

As Xia Che spoke one sentence after another, the entire venue erupted in cheers. Everyone was enthusiastically chanting the words "Teacher Kuro," which stunned Kuro, who had been calmly watching the scene unfold. Something seemed to surge within him.

So cozy!

It's hot!

Looking at the students below, this thought involuntarily popped into his mind.

Could it be that... all these students have been thinking about him all this time?

he.

Are they being taught seriously?

But little did they know...

At this moment.

The trainees, who were also shouting and cheering, had some doubts in their hearts.

"Why is it Teacher Chloe? Teacher Chloe has only been here for a few days, hasn't she? And didn't Teacher Chloe only teach us the Silent Step? Is there something else? Why haven't I learned it?"

"I remember that Mr. Chloe didn't just teach casually every morning. Oh, and he would sometimes suddenly appear behind everyone, expressionless, and say that so-and-so was doing it wrong! I even wondered if Mr. Chloe was thinking about what to eat for lunch the rest of the time?"

"What's wrong? Did Colonel Shacher say something wrong? Didn't Teacher Chloe teach us? If so, why are you all shouting like that?"

"I don't know, I just shouted it along with everyone else, and Ms. Chloe really did teach us! Everyone is happy that Ms. Chloe did this."

Not knowing why they were chanting along with the crowd, Chloe was surprised to receive such recognition from everyone...

At this moment.

They became unexpectedly harmonious!

An eerie atmosphere was circulating between the two sides in the meeting room.

Kro adjusted his glasses, looked at the outstanding instructor certificate and bonus in his hand, and then at the crowd below chanting his name. A slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. [Well, perhaps I should start teaching them more seriously from now on!]

But winning him over like this isn't so simple.

You should know that he was once the captain of the Black Cat Pirates!

Even Zangao could persevere, so how could he be so easily bought off?

If he didn't want a stable life, he would pursue his own dreams.

Kro felt his heart calm down a little. He smiled slightly, but looked at the person in front of him with a calm expression, preparing to say something casually and then end it like that.

When they take this as proof that they want to live a stable life.

"Although Instructor Kuro only arrived recently, the 16th Marine Branch will never forget his contributions. If it weren't for his arrival, the 16th Marine Branch would probably still be racking their brains about how to train everyone. He solved a big problem for the 16th Marine Branch! Therefore..." Xia Che nodded with satisfaction, gave To, who was hiding behind him, a wink, and then smiled.

Extending his hand to Robin, who was also smiling beside him, he said, "I have a special gift for him to give as a token of my gratitude for his contributions to the 16th Marine Division!"

After taking the treasure chest that Robin had already prepared and handed over, Shacher smiled and gave it to the stunned Kuro. Only after Kuro, looking puzzled, took the chest did Shacher continue with a smile, saying, "Open it and take a look!"

The voice just fell.

"..."

Still not understanding what was going on, Kro stared blankly down at the treasure chest in his hand.

A special gift?

Urged by Xia Che, he opened the treasure chest with a puzzled look in his eyes, and was immediately stunned when he saw what was inside.

"This is……"

At this moment.

Under everyone's gaze and with Xia Che smiling, he looked incredulously at the contents of the treasure chest. The unique feeling he had just experienced seemed to resurface, even more clearly than before.

It's as if I've found the answer in my mind. Is this... what they call acceptance?

Kro stiffly turned his head to look at Colonel Shacher, who was smiling at him, just as he was about to open his mouth to say something.

Sudden.

"Snap!"

One hand simply closed his box.

Before he could react, Colonel Shacher closed the box for him and placed the radio denial mushi in front of him. "Come on! Instructor Crow, is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

"?!"

What I said to everyone?

Crow was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Then, as if he had come to his senses, he turned around and looked at the group of people who were smiling at him.

This moment.

Holding the box tightly, he seemed to understand what he was about to say.

Unexpectedly, he... a pirate who had already been captured could actually gain everyone's approval?

High praise?

What on earth is this guy thinking?

Doesn't an adult who approves of them so much deserve their following?

dream?

Lord Xia Che will surely bring them closer to their dreams and lead them on a journey across this vast ocean!

Kuro took a deep breath, looked at the crowd before him, his tone still calm, but a slight smile played on his lips. "Thank you, Navy Branch 16, thank you everyone, thank you, Colonel Shacher..."

……

The lively event soon came to an end.

of course.

The awards ceremony has ended, but the banquet has only just begun.

Shacher didn't disturb their enjoyment. With a meaningful smile on his face, he walked back to the back of the field with Robin.

Our objective has been achieved!

At this time.

Sensing that her boss was in a good mood, Robin, with a smile on her face, asked elegantly, "Does the boss think highly of him?"

They actually put on this show to praise that guy?

only.

unexpected.

The boss in front of him shook his head without hesitation, smiled, and said directly, "No!"

"???"

Before Robin, who was still puzzled, could figure out what was going on...

All I saw was...

The boss beside him remained expressionless and said leisurely, "I'm just not very familiar with him. Even if something unexpected happens, I won't hesitate to take action!"

The words were spoken.

"..."

Upon hearing the BOSS's words, Robin seemed to understand something, and immediately looked at Xia Che with a strange expression, saying, "My dear BOSS is such a bad person~"

Before Xia Che could say anything, she gently twirled a strand of hair behind her ear, a unique smile appearing on her lips.

"What a coincidence, I'm not a good person either!"

"..."

As expected of Miss Robin!

Hehehe~

The two of them gave each other a strange smile.

Then, Xia Che looked at Kuro, who was still behind him and surrounded by everyone celebrating, and said with a smile, "But I have to say, this fruit is quite suitable for him!"

The voice just fell.

Robin, who was standing nearby, smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Puru puru, puru puru~"

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop) rang.

Xia Che answered his personal Den Den Mushi and already guessed who was calling. Just as he was about to ask Moke if something had happened again,

The bald Den Den Mushi in his hand spoke in a loud voice, "The Navy has invited me to become a new Shichibukai! Boss, should I accept?"
