37: Chapter 37 Kro's ConspiracyKro forced a smile as he returned to his room.Once the door was closed, his face instantly filled with murderous intent."That damned Straw Hat kid!But how did he know my true identity?Never mind, my plan is about to succeed.If he dares to hinder my plan, I won't hesitate to kill another one."
After Luffy brought everyone back to the tavern, Usopp angrily asked Luffy why he had stopped him.Luffy shook his head and said, "Usopp, come with me first.There are some things I want you to see."
Usopp followed Luffy with a puzzled look, and Luffy led him to the edge of a cliff.Below, a man wearing a top hat and heart-shaped sunglasses was talking to someone.Usopp looked closer and his eyes widened."Isn't that Kaya's butler?What's he doing here?" He heard Kuro say to the man, "Zango, I should have told you not to attract attention in this village, but you're sleeping soundly in the middle of the village!"
Zango retorted, "Stop talking nonsense, I didn't attract any attention." Kroo didn't waste any words, adjusting his glasses with his wrist."So, is the plan all set?"
"Of course, we can act at any time," Zango paused, then said, "The assassination plan for the young lady."
"What." Luffy grabbed Usopp, who was about to shout, and Usopp struggled, whimpering.Luffy said, "Listen to what this guy's plan is." Usopp could only nod in agreement, but Luffy, afraid he would shout again, tightly covered Usopp's mouth.Kuro continued, "What assassination?To put it nicely, it was an accident.The young lady died in an accident." Zango nodded in agreement, "It was an accident, Captain Kuro." Kuro continued, "What I need you to do is hypnotize that young lady before she dies and make her write a will: I want to leave all my inheritance to Butler Krabatel."
"I never expected that when you suddenly announced your retirement three years ago and had someone take your place to be shot by the Navy, I thought you were really giving up being a pirate.I never imagined you were here for this," Zango sighed.Kuro, however, said nonchalantly, "It allows me to gain a large fortune and escape the Navy's pursuit.Why wouldn't I do it?Besides, three years ago, because of my growing strength, my fame also grew, which made the government's henchmen and bounty hunters relentlessly pursue me.This made me very unhappy.Otherwise, why would I have killed everyone on a warship, leaving only a Navyman named Morgan for you to hypnotize and make him capture my double?But I heard he later became a captain."
Zango picked up the conversation: "Yes, but I heard he was recently killed by a young man.The Navy is probably discussing the young man's bounty.I heard this young man was wearing a straw hat."
Kuro was initially startled, remembering Luffy who had provoked him in the courtyard earlier.He then reassured himself, "It couldn't be him.He doesn't look like the kind of guy with guts." He then said, "Brothers, are you all ready?If you're ready, let's get ashore today.I don't want my three-year plan to be disrupted."
After speaking, Locke habitually adjusted his glasses with his wrist and left.Django returned to the village to prepare for today's assassination plan.Only after Django was completely gone did Luffy release his grip.Usopp immediately shouted, "Oh no!I need to warn the villagers to prepare!The pirates are coming!" Luffy didn't stop him; he wanted Usopp to understand the consequences of crying wolf too often.Luffy then pulled out his Digivice and released Agumon."Agumon, you've been training in the Digivice for so long (the author adds a setting here: the Digivice is a modified system where Digimon can train and live), you should be able to evolve now, right?A battle is about to begin."
"Yes, I can't wait to participate in my first battle!" Alright, the Digivice emitted a dazzling light, and when the light faded, a small yellow dinosaur appeared before Luffy."System, bring up Agumon's interface."
Name: Agumon Race: Digimon Special Attack: Small Flame Evolution Direction: Blackballmon → Agumon → Agumon → Greymon → MetalGreymon → WarGreymon Power Level: 2000
After looking at the stats, Luffy nodded.These attributes were acceptable.He then took Agumon to the village, found Zoro and the others, and told them about it."So, what should we do, Mr.Luffy?"
"Although Usopp has already gone to Kaya's villa to expose Kuro, Kaya definitely won't believe him.I'll be going to Kaya's villa right away to force Kuro out.Meanwhile, Zoro, Coby, you and Agumon will stop the Black Cat Pirates."
It is *3
Usopp rushed into the village shouting, "It's terrible, everyone!The pirates are really coming!" But the villagers didn't believe him at all, thinking he was lying again.Usopp was stunned by the villagers' indifference.He gritted his teeth and ran towards Kaya's villa."Kaya, Kaya!" Usopp shouted as he entered the yard.Kaya poked her head out and said, "What's wrong, Mr.Usopp?"
At this moment, Kuro stepped forward and said, "I think I told you you weren't welcome here, Mr.Usopp." Usopp mustered his courage and pointed at Kuro, saying, "Kaya, listen to me, your butler isn't called Krabatel at all.He's a pirate.He came to your house to steal your treasure."
