Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 77 Where to Go

"As expected?"

Upon hearing Captain Crowe's direct words, Zango's face also calmed down, and he looked at Captain Crowe in return.

The moment he saw Captain Crowe, he knew what was going on.

The fact that he could come and go freely, and even brought him out, meant he couldn't possibly be a construction worker carrying bricks, and he sounded like some kind of training instructor.

He just didn't expect Captain Crowe to be so direct.

After a moment of silence, Zango leisurely glided through the air, as if he had recovered, and said with a smile, "This is truly unexpected! The former captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro, has also defected to another force, Captain Kuro!"

Then, after a slight pause, she made a graceful turn.

"Could you give me some time to think about it? I'm really tired after carrying bricks for so many days. Let me enjoy myself for a bit first!"

Looking at the bustling street in front of me.

"It's so lively here! Is there some kind of festival?"

"It's the end of the year, and this is a time for celebration. Everyone who's worked all year can relax and unwind." Kro turned to look at the lively scene before him. "This is my first time participating, and it's definitely more exciting than I expected."

He didn't seem to be too bothered by Zango's answer, or perhaps he had already guessed Zango's decision.

That makes sense. As the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Django also has his own dreams. Why would he so easily join an organization he's never even seen before?

Even him...

Getting a permanent position also comes at a considerable cost.

But Chloe didn't say anything more. She adjusted her glasses and said, "Why don't we just take a little stroll around?"

The words were spoken.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Instructor Kro!"

Upon hearing Captain Crook's words, Zango smiled.

The two of them then began to stroll around.

As Kro said, the Cornomi Islands are quite lively at the end of the year, as if the whole island is hosting a grand banquet.

Everyone coming and going was filled with cheers and laughter.

The two didn't just walk quietly along the way.

"I thought you'd become a butler or something! I never expected you to become an instructor."

"An unexpected incident occurred!"

"It's clear you're highly respected by those students; that's incredible!"

"I've seen a bigger world!"

The two walked and talked like that.

At this time.

"Instructor Kro!"

A warm and peaceful voice came from inside.

Kro and Zango stopped and turned around... They were immediately startled by a burly figure. The feeling of being covered and looking down at him also gave Zango a fright.

Beside that burly figure was a small figure with pink hair.

"Mr. Big Bear." Kroo didn't seem too surprised by the figure. He calmly adjusted his glasses, greeted him, and then looked down at the small figure beside Big Bear, a slight smile playing on his lips. "And you, little girl, can you come out and about too?"

only.

"Catwalker!"

"I already told you I'm not called Catwalk Man!"

"Uncle Moke taught me!"

"Don't imitate that bastard, I'll beat him to death sooner or later!" Hearing Bonnie's address to him, Kro's face darkened immediately. He then looked up at the ever-smiling bear and said, "Is this kid's illness cured?"

"She still needs some more treatment." Big Bear shook his head, but his face still held a gentle smile as he stroked Bonnie's little head. He said, "But Bonnie can already go out for walks. She heard there was a banquet here and wanted to come over, so I brought her along. However, she can't stay in the sun for too long, Bay..."

Seemingly noticing the presence of others, she paused slightly before continuing, "It won't be long before Bonnie is fully recovered and truly running in the sun!"

"Is that so?" Kro looked at the grinning brat under Big Bear's palm and nodded. "Then I won't bother you anymore! And, you rude brat, don't call me Catwalk Man anymore!"

"Got it, Catwalk Man!"

"..."

"Thank you so much for your concern!" Big Bear bowed respectfully to Chloe. "I won't bother you any longer!"

With that, he turned around with Bonnie, a smile on his face, in front of Chloe, who had a dark expression on her face, and prepared to continue looking around.

Bonnie had been locked in the box for a long time, even in the Kingdom of Sorbet, she could only hide in the church. So, even if it was only for a short time, he wanted to take Bonnie around. "Bonnie, where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere is fine as long as I'm with Dad? How about we go get Colonel's Chicken Nuggets? I had them last time, and I suddenly want them again!"

The father and daughter strolled along leisurely, and whenever they saw something unusual, the pink-haired little devil would excitedly approach it, accompanied by bursts of laughter.

"Is that guy a giant?" Zango wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "What a terrifying body!"

"No, that's not true!"

"So he's your new boss?" Hearing Kro's denial, Zango stopped worrying about the bear's race and continued looking at its massive physique. "And he seems to be a happy father?"

"Tyrant Kuma, from the South Blue, with a bounty of 296 million Berries, is a big shot on the Grand Line, but not my boss!" Kuro said, looking at Django. "Perhaps for him, that's what happiness is!"

"296 million Berries?" Seemingly shocked by Crow's introduction, Zango looked at Crow in surprise. "This guy with such an outrageous reputation isn't your new boss? Then who is your new boss? Could it be... the Overlord of the East Blue?"

however.

The voice just fell.

unexpected.

"Don't mention that bastard to me!" Kro's previously calm face darkened instantly, and he rejected the idea without hesitation. "That idiot isn't even worth mentioning!"

"???"

When the overlord of the East Sea made his appearance, even you were shocked!

Why is the East China Sea overlord now being called a fool?

Zango looked at Kro with suspicion, "Not the overlord of the East Sea either? Then who is it?"

"I can only say that I've already joined the 16th Marine Branch. What's your decision, Zango? If you don't agree," Kroo said calmly, still looking at Zango. "I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to send you back!"

"Is this really the only way? Captain Kuro, you've really changed! Although it's certainly tiring there, I still have my own dreams. You know, the navy isn't for me!" Zango smiled and took another dance step. "Alright, let's not talk about that. Can I ask about your current relationship with that East Sea overlord?"

"It doesn't matter!" Upon hearing Zango's words, Kro rejected them without hesitation, saying with a dark face, "That's just an idiot..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Hahaha, Catwalk Man, are you here?"

Another voice came from behind.

That cheerful and bold manner only made Chloe's face darken further, before he could say anything.

All I saw was...

A large, rough hand wrapped around his arm, and someone said enthusiastically, "Perfect timing! Want to come with me to Red Romance? I heard you haven't been before. That's not like me as a partner!"

"The Overlord of the East Sea!" Zango looked at the enormous figure that had suddenly appeared behind him with surprise and wariness, then looked at Kro strangely, "Didn't you say it didn't matter?"

This doesn't seem like it's nothing at all!

"You're the partner Catwalk Man was talking about?" At this moment, Mok also noticed Zango and said, "I remember you, now Captain Black Cat!"

"..." x2

What the hell is Captain Black Cat?

Kro and Zango stared at Mok with dark expressions. Then Kro took a deep breath, pulled away from Mok's large arm, and frowned at him, "What are you doing here?"

As she spoke, she noticed a familiar figure beside Moke. After a moment of surprise, she gracefully bowed.

"King Cobra!"

That's right, this is the King of Alabasta.

"No need for that, Mr. Kro," King Cobra said cheerfully. "I've heard Vivi talk about this place a lot, and I've been very curious about it, so I came here with Vivi this time."

"Welcome." Hearing King Cobra's words, Kro seemed to remember something, nodded, and then looked at that fool Mok, "You're following this guy..."

"Oh, Mr. Mok said he'd take me to Red Romance," King Cobra said cheerfully. "He said it's a lot of fun there and I can really relax!"

As soon as he said that...

Kro: ...

The corners of the mouth twitched.

If I remember correctly, Princess Vivi and the BOSS have a special relationship. This idiot actually took her father to Red Romance.

You've got some nerve!

But before he could say anything...

"That place is really interesting, and Catwalk Man hasn't been there either, so let's all go together today!" Mok cheerfully put his arm around Catwalk Man. "You're my best partner, so let me treat you today!"

"I……"

"What do you mean 'what do you mean'? Let's go! Don't worry, you won't have to pay! And that cat-walk guy's partner, come along too!"

Before Klo could say anything more, Moke enthusiastically pulled him toward Red Romance.

When Zango, who was also invited, saw this scene, he hesitated for a moment and then went up as well.

Not long after.

Led by their longtime customer Moke, the four of them easily found their way to a magnificent, golden building.

Then, not long after that...

"Phew~" X3

The three guys who had never been here before immediately let out a joyful sound.

"Comfortable, isn't it!" Moke, a regular customer, said proudly. "Every time I come back, I make a special trip here to relax. Although it's expensive here, as long as you're a member of the family, you get discounts, and sometimes there are even employee benefits that can be reimbursed."

Looking at Zango, who was already slumped in his chair, leisurely making sounds, he chuckled and said, "How about Catwalk Man's partner? Want to join us? The boss is pretty good to his own people!"

As soon as he said that...

Before he could even hear that this big oaf was also recruiting, Kro pursed his lips in disdain, as if he was about to say something.

"Really? Not only are there discounts, but sometimes it's even free?" Zango's eyes lit up behind his heart-shaped glasses. "I'm joining!"

Instantly.

Kro: ...

Kro's lips twitched, and he looked at Zango with a completely bewildered expression.

You bastard, didn't you say you still had dreams?

How come you joined without even considering it?

Kro took a deep breath and gave Mok, who was grinning foolishly, another long look.

It seems this big oaf... isn't as stupid as he thought!

……

Meanwhile, the four of them were enjoying themselves amidst the romantic red ambiance.

the other side.

Big Bear, Bonnie, and Shacher also met up with them.

Seeing Bonnie able to walk a little in the sunlight, Shacher and the others smiled.

Surprisingly, the three of them working together were quite effective.

Indeed, later, considering that it might be helpful, he also handed over the treatment plans for Crocus and Dr. Kureha to Vegapunk. As a medical expert, Vegapunk did gain something from the treatment plans of these two.

At this time.

"Mr. Shacher, have you seen my dad?" Vivi walked over with a puzzled look. She greeted Bonnie and Big Bear, then frowned and said, "I wonder where Dad went?"

"Princess Vivi." Upon seeing Vivi, Big Bear bowed and then said, "King Cobra was with Mok. I saw them when I came over."

"Mr. Moke?" Vivi asked, startled and somewhat confused. "Where is Mr. Moke taking Daddy?"

"It seems to be..." Big Bear hesitated for a moment, but under Vivi's gaze, he still said, "Red Romance!"

"???"
