He's in One Piece, but he's also part of the Phantom Troupe.

Chapter 89 The person before me will no longer have any secrets.

"Well, we can be considered a pirate crew for now," Kuroro said with a smirk.

Strange... I didn't ask him anything? But judging from their appearance, this group is quite capable; perhaps they can help my country...

"Of course we're quite strong. We're a pirate crew that just received a 10 billion bounty from the Navy!"

"?"

Did I say anything?

However, the morality of this group is still unclear. Aren't pirates usually said to be mostly vicious and ruthless...?

"No, if you really understand this sea, you'll know that pirates like Whitebeard and Shanks are far better than the World Government," Chrollo explained.

"???"

No...did I really say something?

Am I sleepwalking and blurting out what's on my mind?

Even if you are good pirates, the purpose of your hunting of Baroque Agents is still unclear, so how can I trust you...?

"As for this issue, it was these few people who first discovered our identities, attempted to capture us for the bounty, but we killed them instead."

"After all, Baroque Works was originally a pirate hunter~" Kuroro continued to explain with a smile in his eyes.

"!!!"

"How did you know what I was thinking?!" Vivi finally couldn't help but ask.

"As I said, my subordinate has intelligence gathering capabilities; I'm merely borrowing her abilities now."

Kuroro slowly approached, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"Not only that, Miss Vivi, I also know you're looking for allies to fight against Baroque Works. Aren't we the most suitable allies?"

"My requirements are very simple~"

"You want Baroque Works to disappear from your country, and I'll hunt down the ability users from those workshops~ Isn't this a win-win situation~"

"And another thing~" Kuroro stopped and looked at Vivi with a smile.

You can have complete confidence in the character and capabilities of my team.

"Now just open your eyes and watch..."

Kuroro turned his head, gazing calmly at Drum Country outside Togo High School.

"We will be the first to save this country, and we'll prove it to you!"

--------

"Glug glug........"

Chopper was sitting on a small stool brewing medicine, but his body was trembling.

After a while of treatment, Nami and Shizuku's conditions stabilized considerably.

"What an amazing species! A reindeer that can talk and walk upright?" Nobunaga stroked his chin, observing with great interest.

"Is venison delicious?" Bonnie and Uvogin couldn't help but drool from the corners of their mouths.

"It looks somewhat similar to a Chimera Ant?" the swordsman asked curiously.

"The similarity of species in the Dark Continent..." Phinks analyzed seriously.

"Will it be disastrous?"

"Touch it and see~"

Then, with malicious intent, the group slowly extended their evil hands toward Chopper, whose face had turned pale with fright.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Chopper transformed into human form and delivered a merciless iron elbow strike, giving each of them a large bump on the head before running away howling.

After comforting Vivi, Kuroro ran to find Kureha, and the two exchanged knowing smiles as they watched this scene.

"Chopper...it's been so long since I've seen him this lively!"

"That's really nice~" Kureha turned her head and looked at Kuroro.

"What was that very precious thing you said you were going to give me? You're not just trying to fool this old woman, are you?"

"Of course not." Kuroro smiled mysteriously.

The two stood side by side on the balcony of the castle.

The heavy snow above East Island gradually cleared, revealing a snow-covered landscape. The residents of Drum Kingdom below the snow-capped mountains emerged from their homes, their faces showing relief at surviving the disaster.

However, the damage caused by the Blackbeard Pirates' attack has had a profound impact on this country.

Countless houses collapsed due to the damage, and the streets were riddled with potholes.

In the pirate world where individual strength can far exceed the power of a nation, ordinary people live such a miserable life, forever dependent on the whims of others.

The injured, supporting each other, formed a long line and slowly made their way up the mountain towards the witch's dwelling.

Watching this scene, Pike looked puzzled.

"Why are they all rushing here? Aren't there any other doctors in this country?"

Kureha sighed and slowly began to speak:

"This is the tragedy of our country."

"King Walpo, in order to amass wealth, implemented a tyrannical regime, exterminating all the doctors in the country and leaving only 20 to serve him."

"So when the people of this country fall ill, they can only come to me, hiding in the mountains..." Kureha's expression was complex.

"With just my and Chopper's energy, we simply can't heal so many people at the same time..."

Kureha showed a hint of sadness.

"Walpo abandoned his people and fled before those pirates even arrived. How tragic—"

"I don't know when he'll come back, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible..."

"About this~"

Kuroro smirked, entered the [Four-Dimensional Apartment], pulled out Wapol, whose face was bruised and swollen, and threw him on the ground.

Kureha stared in surprise at Wapol, who was bound tightly on the ground.

Then he turned his head and looked at Kuroro in shock, "You guys!"

"This is part of the gift I'm giving you, Grandma~" Kuroro smiled.

"This person is my prey; he will never appear in this world again."

Kuroro looked intently at Kureha and slowly said:

"From this day forward, your country is free, and your destiny is in your own hands..."

"Who exactly are you...?" Kureha's expression grew increasingly complicated.

At this moment,

Captain Dalton led the wounded men through the castle gates and entered.

"Witch doctor, we need treatment!"

Then he saw Kuroro standing next to Kureha.

"Oh... my benefactor!!"

Dalton was overjoyed and rushed forward to grasp Kuroro's hand, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.

"Our benefactors! Thanks to you for driving away those vicious pirates, otherwise our country would have been in grave danger!"

"Yes, my benefactor! You even killed that masked giant! That was so satisfying! We don't know how many of our neighbors died at his hands!"

The crowd behind him also gathered around, their expressions excited and enthusiastic.

Kureha's expression grew increasingly confused as she watched this scene unfold.

She had also spent some time sailing the seas when she was young, so even after she retired in her old age, she still kept an eye on news from the high seas.

If she remembered correctly, the pirate crew that came to invade and cause destruction was the Blackbeard Pirates, right?

The captain is Marshall D. Teach, a former member of the Whitebeard's Ship and the Will of D! His bounty is 540 million Berries...

I haven't read a newspaper in ages...

Kureha's eyes swept over Kuroro, who was standing beside her, once again.

It can scare away those great pirates.

Who exactly is this person before me...?

Suddenly, I'm starting to wonder what the real gift he'll bring me is...
