Chapter 416
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
The Wrath of Princeps
These words made Leda and Croweâs faces change.
âIâm hungry, letâs go eat!â
Leda made an excuse to slip away.
Bang!
At this moment, the sliding door was closed.
Kuro let go and his face was terrifyingly dark. âNo one is allowed to leave.â
He glanced at everyone and then said to Donald, âTell me why you know and why it is published in the newspaper.â
âYes?â
Donald was stunned and asked curiously, âBrigadier General Kuro, donât you know?â
I know nothing about der!
Kuro resisted the urge to complain and said, âWhat the hell is going on! Crowe!â
He glared at Crowe as if he wanted to skin him alive.
Crowe shuddered under the glare. âWell, no, I was going to say today that you didnât give me a chance.â
With that, he took three steps forward and took out the newspaper he had collected and laid it flat on Kuroâs table. Then he stepped back and said with sweat on his forehead, âMr. Kuro, we found this thing too late.â
On it, it happened to be the photo of him killing Ledfield and North Blueâs Vinsmoke Quadruple Slash.
Kuroâs eyes seemed to have been pierced and he couldnât bear to look at it.
Especially the title, which made it impossible to read.
âMarine Hero killed Lonely Red? Who is the hero, who is the fucking hero!â
Kuro angrily pointed at the newspaper with his hand and hit it hard, as if even the table was going to be pierced!
Then, he leaned back in his chair and looked up like a salted fish that had lost its soul. Then, he thought of something and pulled himself together.
He took out a cigar box and took out a cigar. He held the cigar between his fingers and trembled as he gestured. âIt doesnât matter. The four kings promised me that they would not expose this matter. This must have been secretly taken by some unknown war correspondent. Damn it, it was actually taken so clearly!â
âMr. Kuroâ¦â Crowe hesitated.
âBrigadier General Kuro, this is the joint statement of the four kings of North Blue!â Donald said curiously, âWhy do you say that the four kings will not be exposed? Such a good thing should be publicized.â
Kuro was speechless.
He looked at the newspaper again and saw the words âFour Kings Joint Declarationâ at the bottom of the newspaper.
Kuro spun his cigar in his hand again and said, âNo, as long as the Vinsmoke family complains, everything will be fine.â
At this moment, Leda glanced at Crowe.
Crowe pursed his lips and said, sweating, âMr. Kuro, Vinsmokeâ¦â
âDidnât Vinsmoke and others already complain? I heard about it. Because of this matter, Marshal Akainu and GorÅsei (Five Elder Stars) had a big fight on the phone. In the end, they still didnât reach an agreement, so Marshal Akainu went to Mariejois again,â Donald said.
With these words, the office fell silent.
Kuroâs fingers slowly stretched out, trembling like epilepsy, and he said slowly: âLida and Crowe stay, the others, get out.â
The group received the order and walked out of the office.
With a bang, the door closed, and Kuro immediately roared: âI clearly communicated! I clearly communicated! This week, this month, I thought nothing happened! I was so happy, why, why did you let me know this news, ah!!!â
It was so loud that it could be heard outside the office.
âMr. Kuroâ¦â
Kaz shed tears. âAre you humiliated because of this? Yes, itâs just Ledfield. How can you prove Mr. Kuroâs will by spreading it so widely? Heâs just an old guy!â
âI think so too!â
Donald nodded. âAlthough Lonely Red is a powerful person, not many people have heard of him. When I traveled to various countries as a Ranger, I only heard his name occasionally. He is not worthy of being listed in legends like Roger Whitebeard and Golden Lion. Brigadier General Kuro should have known about this long ago. He must be so angry because this newspaper has promoted him too much. Ah⦠He is indeed a modest and real man!â
âIs that right?â
Basil nodded subconsciously, but then immediately shook his head.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he did not know what was wrong.
âEveryone is lying to me, even the king who promised me, and you! Why didnât you say it earlier!â Kuro shouted at them.
âMr. Kuro, Iâve always wanted to say it earlier, but seeing that youâre in such a good mood, I canât bear to ruin your mood. In addition, you also ordered that all phone calls and news should not be notified.â Crowe spoke very quickly.
Kuro left his seat and roared at Crowe: âBullshit!! Good-for-nothing!! Scum!!!â
âMr. Kuro, isnât this a littleâ¦â Crowe pushed up his glasses and said awkwardly.
âIâm so angry!!â
Kuro slammed the cigar on the table, leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths. He continued, âI usually let you guys come up with ideas, but youâre the first one to do it, huh?! Itâs such a big thing, but you donât even give me a way to solve it. Donât you eat it every day!â
He glared at Leda.
âIt means wandering around the town!â
He glared at Crowe again.
âWhatâs the solution? Whatâs the solution? Do you know what Ledfield represents?! The Red of Solitude! Do you know whatâs going on in this department now!? Itâs too late! I may be promoted directly! I will go to the New World!!â
He pounded his chest and said, âI came to Hebei Province⦠No, I came to West Blue for my ambition, my long-cherished wish! Not to show my achievements to Headquarters here!â
He took a few more breaths and sat back in his chair, trembling. âHe⦠those kings, why are they so bold? Why do they dare to ignore my threat!â
âMaybe⦠I misunderstood.â Crowe pursed his lips.
âI will fly directly to North Blue and smash those islands!â Kuro roared.
âHa⦠Haâ¦â
After saying this, Kuro took a few more breaths and calmed down.
He picked up the cigar shakily and held it in his mouth. He lit it with a lighter several times before lighting it.
âHuâ¦â
He leaned back in his chair and exhaled a mouthful of smoke, remaining silent for a long time.
After roaring, he finally calmed down a little.
Of course, it was impossible to smash it. He was just angry just now. If he really smashed the island because of this, he would really be crazy.
However, things could not be left unresolved.
âGive me a plan, Young Masters and Young Ladies.â
Kuro said to the two of them, âI beg you, come up with a plan. How can I minimize the impact of this matter?â
âChewingâ¦â
âShut up!â
Kuro interrupted Leda and glared at her. âIf you say such old words again, your lunch today will be gone.â
âHmph, I can go out to eat,â Leda said without fear.
âWhen will you let me save my energy?â Kuro said helplessly.
