Chapter 816: Calling in Reinforcements One by One
Chapter 816: Calling in Reinforcements One by One
Greigate Island had been transformed into quite the spectacle by Festa.
This was because Kuro had discovered residual energy from many famous scenes here.
Take the execution platform in East Blue's Loguetown.
"Ahhahaha!"
Several idiot pirates were standing on the platform, forcibly slamming someone who appeared to be an enemy against the statue on the execution platform, smashing his head against Roger's statue head and leaving it stuck there.
There was also a replica of Arabasta's desert marketplace, where many people wearing headbands were setting up stalls selling so-called legendary items.
Like the Golden Apple.
"Kuro, Golden Apple, Golden Apple!"
Kuro dragged Lida by the back of his collar as Lida reluctantly stared at the golden apple on the stall, muttering, "The Golden Apple that grants immortality with just one bite."
"Didn't you eat one when you traveled through Arabasta alone before?" A blue vein popped out on Kuro's forehead.
"I did, but that one was just painted gold."
"This one is too!"
Kuro even noticed a recreation of Marineford, which could only mean Fest was playing it safe, scared of confrontation.
Beyond that -
"Kuro! Our home!" Lida pointed at a building in the entertainment district ahead.
The layout ahead resembled the entertainment district in Pegasus Island's central Commercial Street.
There were hot springs, Kabuki performances, and nearby shops and delicacies.
"What a sight!"
Kuro exclaimed, "Festa did well to copy even Old Man's place. I should be charging him!"
Klah thought for a moment and said, "As a famous tourist town in the West Blue, being replicated is only natural, Mr. Kuro. Ever since Gran Tesoro disappeared, our permanent tourist volume has increased by 10%, and during peak times it exceeded 50%."
"Only 10%?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow, "Where did the rest go?"
"They're spread out across various tourist towns", Klah explained. "It's mainly because of the geographical location. After all, we're in the West Blue."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, narrowing his eyes, "Once my one-stop route opens, all these people will concentrate there. No worries. Just stay here for now, it's familiar. Klah, go book a few rooms, the kind with a large meeting room."
"Understood, Mr. Kuro."
Klah entered a larger hot spring inn and booked three rooms, one of which came with a large living room.
As for payment? Absolutely not.
Are you joking? Pirates staying in a few rooms and actually paying?
Go ask Buggy to pay!
Kuro simply put it on Buggy's tab.
After entering the room, Kuro gestured to Klah with his chin, and the latter nodded, opening the black suitcase he had brought. Of course, it didn't contain weapons - he hadn't used weapons in a long time.
Inside was a white Transponder Snail.
The white Transponder Snail was a special kind used to prevent eavesdropping.
"One by one, call them for me."
Kuro held the microphone and told Klah.
"Understood."
Klah started dialing the numbers first.
Soon, the first call was connected.
The Transponder Snail transformed into an elegant man wearing a tall chef's hat.
Kuro spoke up, "Brother Storbery."
"It's you, Kuro", the Transponder Snail on the other end smiled. "What do you need? I heard your G-3 was destroyed and you threw a huge tantrum, even skipping the World Meeting."
"I don't have time to deal with that. My reputation is ruined, how can I survive in the Grand Line? Now I've been granted the authority to pursue Bartholomew and Festa. Fleet Admiral Sakazuki has entrusted me with temporary overall command. So this time, I want to mobilize you. I've already found the location, you just need to agree." Kuro said with a smile.
"But then who will guard the World Meeting?"
Kuro interrupted, "Who cares about the World Meeting now? My reputation is more important, don't you think?"
"If Fleet Admiral has given you command authority, I have no objections."
"Good. Bring some elite forces, not too many, just elites will do. You can bring your own ships, but once you arrive, you'll ride only on my ship. I'll have Moer teleport you over, sorry for the trouble, Brother." Kuro said with a smile.
"You're being too polite, Kuro. Your reputation is our reputation too, of course we'll help you."
"Great, see you later."
Kuro hung up the call and turned to Klah, "Next."
"Hey, Vice Admiral Aokiji?"
"I need to mobilize you."
"Vice Admiral Dalmatian"
"Vice Admiral Togeko"
"Vice Admiral Borsalino"
"Vice Admiral Doflamingo"
"Vice Admiral Stress"
"Minorin"
"Bastille"
One by one, the calls went out, making Klah, who was helping to dial them, twitch his eye in discomfort, feeling his scalp tingle.
Lida even stopped snacking, staring at Kuro in stunned silence.
As Kuro hung up another call, Lida swallowed hard and asked, "Kuro, what are you planning to do?"
"What do you mean what? If you have authority and don't use it, it'll expire and become useless."
Kuro said, then told Klah, "Call Sengoku's number."
"Hey Kuro, why are you calling so many Navy Vice Admirals? Are you planning to start another War of the Four Emperors?" Lida shouted.
Kuro replied, "Obviously, Bartholomew isn't weak. What's wrong with me preparing extra? Haven't you heard, the more people, the greater the strength?"
"But this is just too much, Mr. Kuro", Klah stammered, "If people find out, they might misunderstand."
"Misunderstand? Who dares to misunderstand!"
Kuro said angrily, grinding his teeth, "Do they really think they can destroy Old Man's G-3 without consequences? Besides, Kaido and Big Mom are preparing to fight each other now and don't have time to focus here. Shanks isn't worth worrying about, and Marshall D. Teach, that idiot, is busy stabilizing his influence. How can they interfere with me hunting down an old escapee like this?"
But...
Klah tugged at his lips, this was indeed too much!
Mr. Kuro's earlier summoning had already gathered most of the Vice Admirals.
This was more than half of the Navy's Vice Admirals, most of whom were elite Vice Admirals, even those qualified to command Pacifistas.
Wasn't this practically a full mobilization?
Was it really necessary to go that far for just one Bartholomew?
At that moment, the Transponder Snail connected.
"Hello, this is Sengoku", the Transponder Snail transformed into an idiotic-looking man with a scar on his face.
"It's me, Kuro."
"Big Brother Kuro."
"Where are you now? Never mind, wherever you are, bring some elites either to Headquarters or to Red Port. I'll have Moer pick you up. Don't bother bringing any Pacifistas, I'll have my subordinates fetch you. That's all."
After speaking, he hung up the call directly and sighed in relief, "Alright, that's about all the summoning done."
Then his eyes hardened and he cursed, "If Old Man doesn't get crushed to dust this time, I, Kuro, will never be a man again!"
If it weren't for the potential repercussions, he would have even called Garp, Sengoku, Kaku, and Zoro, but he thought better of it, this scale was already more than enough.
Now this was sufficient, with more than half of the Navy's Vice Admirals and their elite forces all coming to this island, personally led by Kuro. If they couldn't even capture one Bartholomew, they might as well give up playing altogether.
