Chapter 40
Microorganisms Are Invisible
After getting the Six Stances from Kirby, Leda began to torture Crowe after learning it. In just two months, Crowe learned it all, and his strength increased from 250 to 800.
His growth is very fast, but he himself has the aptitude. Following Kuro, he is often abused by these two people. In addition to the special training in these two months, his strength naturally rises.
Kuro even specially trained Crowe’s swordsmanship, at least he could fight well.
He is now carrying the reputation of a “Great Swordsman”. If he is not strong, he will expose himself.
Two months passed just like that.
The deadline for his Headquarters training was almost up.
Unlike Headquarters Marine, they usually train at the base and go on missions when they are not at the base, including Kirby. They left early and haven’t come back yet. They probably went out to sea to fight pirates.
When a Marine from the branch comes to the headquarters for training, unless there is an emergency, they will be trained for two months.
Today is the deadline. Kuro’s heart has flown to the safe place in his heart.
East Blue?
That would be for the best. He didn’t have a big addiction to vegetables. His hometown was there.
The other three sea areas can also be used. For the Grand Line, you can go to G-8, which is known as the Iron Wall.
“But it has been two months. Why hasn’t Smoker contacted me? Where did he go?” Kuro pondered.
“Mr. Kuro!”
On the training ground, Kuro was waiting for the final training and was completely liberated at the end of the day. At this moment, a pink-haired little man stood in front of him.
After a while, Korby appeared, wearing ordinary Marine clothes, and said: “Mr. Kuro’s training period is about to end, I will definitely defeat you this time, Mr. Kuro!”
“Oh, Kirby, long time no see. Did you come back from the sea?”
Kuro saw him in ordinary Marine clothes and greeted him.
He had not been promoted yet.
Then there is no need to be afraid.
“Yes, Mr. Kuro, I’m stronger!” Kirby said confidently.

“Oh… Congratulations, good luck. I’m old and can’t take it anymore. I’ll return to East Blue after training.” Kuro said casually.
Headquarters training does not necessarily mean that they will stay in Headquarters. For branch Marine like them, if they do not perform well during training, the possibility of returning to the branch and staying in Headquarters is 50-50.
If he went back to the branch, he would be sent back to the same place after leveling up. This was what Kuro wanted to do the most.
However, he could not perform too badly. That way, he might be forced to stay and be trained by the Marine Division.
Otherwise, Kuro would have started acting long ago.
If he performed too well, he might be asked to stay, and if he performed too badly, he might be asked to stay. Therefore, Kuro had a 50-50 chance of winning and losing.
In any case, the Marines trained here are all ordinary Marines with similar strength.
Coupled with Smoker’s words, he is likely to return to East Blue.
Don’t feel too good.
“Back to East Blue…”
Kirby stared at Kuro and felt a wave of sadness.
That’s right. After ten years of hard work and finally coming to the headquarters to train, it’s very likely that he will return to the Four Seas Division. He can’t stay in the Grand Line and see the wider world.
This made him think of himself. If Vice-Admiral Garp had not brought him back to the headquarters to teach him, he would not know how many chores he would have done in the 153rd Division.
“Mr. Kuro!”
Kirby said seriously, “Please do your best!”
“?”
Seeing how serious Kirby was, Kuro tilted his head. He didn’t quite understand, but no matter what, he would act first.
“I understand,” he also said seriously.
You haven’t been promoted yet, which means that you haven’t even mastered ‘Shave’. So what if I go all out? At most, it’s 50-50.
After I go back to my headquarters, you fight your top war.
“Begin!”
The major in charge of training shouted and everyone started fighting again.
“Shave!”
Kirby was the first to attack. His speed was faster than before. He arrived in front of Kuro almost instantly and kicked him.
Then, Kuro caught it.
It was caught?!
His ‘Shave’ is basically almost mastered. Would an ordinary Marine catch his ‘Shave’?!
Kirby’s eyes widened. After seeing Kuro catch it, he stepped back and punched.
Bang!
Kirby caught the fist and felt the strength. It was no different from before, and the speed was not fast. During this time, Kuro did not improve, but how could he catch his speed?
“Shave!”
Kirby refused to believe it and used Soru again, this time coming to the rear of Kuro.
Snap.
Kuro backhanded and blocked Kirby’s kick. He put on an extremely serious expression and fought back again.
Blocked again?
It’s fake, right?!
“Shave!”
“Shave! Shave! Shave, shave, shave!!!”
Kirby was like a madman, constantly moving at high speed and circling around Kuro. However, every attack was caught by Kuro and he returned fire.
“What’s wrong with this child? Was he tortured by pirates outside? This mentality is not good.”
Kuro blocked Kirby’s punch again and punched out again, hitting Kirby’s abdomen.
Kirby’s high-speed movement caused the Marine training around him to slow down a little and they looked at this scene in surprise.
They could not catch that speed.
But how did Kuro catch it?
His strength is ordinary.
“That idiot…”
Leda was fighting with a female soldier. She turned her head and felt that something was wrong.
Everyone’s eyes were focused there. The speed of the pink-haired boy was too fast in the eyes of others.
“Oh no, Mr. Kuro didn’t react. The level gap is too big. He can’t feel the improvement of that pink-haired boy’s strength.”
As Crowe, who has been practicing the Rokushiki, he can see the improvement in Kirby’s strength. It’s different from the past days, but Kuro will definitely not notice it.
He once asked Kuro how to maintain his strength and fight a draw with such a person.
After all, at his level, it is more difficult to control Dao than to go all out.
And in the words of Kuro:
“Do you use different strength when you step on ants because their heads are different?”
No, it shouldn’t be an ant, but a microbe, the kind that can’t be seen clearly with the naked eye.
The improvement in strength that Crowe could feel was similar in Kuro’s eyes.
They are as weak as microorganisms.
… .
Not far from the training ground, a group of people was watching.
“How is it possible that Kirby can’t beat that Kuro?!”
Wearing the new-style sunglasses, Beru Maybo’s eyes almost popped out.
In the past two months, they have made rapid progress. In the beginning, Kirby and Kuro were almost on par, but now, Kirby should have defeated Kuro long ago.
“Oh? Is that the person that Kirby has always wanted to defeat? He was clearly promoted, but he still pretended to be an ordinary Marine and came to challenge him. I didn’t expect that I couldn’t do anything to him. Hahaha, Kirby is so weak.”
A burly man wearing a dog head hat and constantly eating doughnuts laughed.
They had long been promoted and went to sea for a period of time. Because of their meritorious service, Kirby was promoted to Head Division Cao, and Beru Maybo became Head Division Cao.
Those above the Headquarters Division have the right not to participate in the training of ordinary Marines.
It was just that Kirby wanted to give Kuro a ‘surprise’, so he changed his clothes. However, he did not expect this result, which was somewhat unacceptable for Beru Maybo.
“Right, do you know that person?” Dog-Head Marine asked.
Beirut Maybo nodded: “Previously, Division 153’s Cao has been a Marine for ten years and has never had any strength. It’s really strange…”
“No strength?”
Dog-Head Marine looked carefully at Kuro, who was constantly receiving attacks, and grinned. “Really?”
