Chapter 419
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Marin Van Do is also handed over to you
After Garp and Sengoku played here for a few days, they finally found Kuro, who had not set off.
âItâs time for you to go.â Sengoku said to Kuro who was staying in the office: âWe will report to you who the remaining subordinates choose.â
âI think Iâm seriously injured, really.â Kuro was unusually sincere.
However, the two old guys looked straight at Kuro as if they did not hear him.
Kuro sighed. âKaz, just Kaz. He and his direct subordinates are stationed in West Blue. The others are coming with me.â
This was the result of his choice.
It was impossible for Leda to stay. Firstly, he was worried that she would eat up this great situation. Secondly, Leda was unwilling.
Crowe⦠He had to take the blame from time to time, and it was impossible to put it in when he was used to it.
The only one he could let go of was Kaz.
If this guy is stationed in West Blue, with the current peaceful environment of Pegasus Island, there is basically no chance for him to perform.
He stayed in the West Blue, and Kuro also got rid of a lifelong enemy, so let him stay in this place with his lackeys.
As for the others, they were brought by Kuro and drove the Battleship to Sabaody Archipelago.
Of course, before that, he had to go back to Headquarters to do a promotion ceremony.
In addition, Akainu also had something to tell him.
Marin Vando.
Because of the gradual relocation of Headquarters, the number of Marines in Marin Vando has decreased a lot. Most of the Marines have been moved to G-1 Headquarters in New World under the leadership of Vice-Admiral.
However, due to government affairs, Akainu and Kizaru are still here.
When Kuro came, he went to Kizaruâs office first.
âOh, Kuro, youâre here.â
Kizaru was still cutting his nails. When he saw Kuro coming in with a gloomy face, he put down his nail scissors and asked curiously, âWho made you angry?â
Kuro rolled his eyes and pulled out a chair and sat down unceremoniously. He crossed his legs without any image. âWhat else can there be? I was doing well on Pegasus Island. Why did you let me come back and promoted me? Rear Admiral? Haâ¦â
âSo there is resentmentâ¦â
Kizaru nodded. âIt canât be helped. Marineâs objection to the World Governmentâs decision doesnât mean much. Besides, you are my subordinate. Iâm afraid it will be a little difficult for you to be promoted.â
Of course he was resentful.
He was indulging in a beautiful dream of safety and comfort without promotion when he was suddenly woken up by a newspaper. Anyone would be angry about this.
If the King of the Four Kingdoms had not announced it, his dream would have really succeeded.
Kizaru chuckled and said, âBut, well done. You killed Ledfield, which boosted Marineâs morale.â
What the hell are you talking about!
âAdmiral, I can make a big sauce with onions.â
âI canât talk to you.â
Kuro waved his hand and said, âSpeaking of which, old man, why havenât you moved yet? Arenât you going to move the headquarters?â
âOh, I was waiting for you to come. Otherwise, we wonât be able to see each other for a long time. After seeing you, I will leave tomorrow and go to the new headquarters to be stationed,â Kizaru said.
Who wants to see you?
Kuro pursed his lips. How many times had he come to the headquarters? Nothing good ever happened.
If he hadnât come to Headquarters last time, he wouldnât have gone to North Blue. If he hadnât gone to North Blue, he wouldnât have met Ledfield. If he hadnât met that old ghost, he wouldnât have been promoted.
âAlright, I wonât disturb you anymore. Iâll go find Marshal Akainu first.â Kuro stood up and prepared to leave.
âWait a minute, Kuro.â
Kizaru called out to him and said, âKamido Maru has officially joined the Marine. I originally chose him as the base commander of Sabaody (Shiba) Land, but if you come, he will be with you.â
âOh? Vegapunk let him out?â Kuro was surprised.
âYes, because the weapon production is on the right track and we need to test it out. Sabaody Archipelago is a good place.â
âOkay, let him come here directly.â
Kuro waved his hand and left Kizaruâs office.
âOh~â
Kizaru looked at his back and shook his head. âThere is resentment. The World Government has done this, but it is very badâ¦â
⦠.
Akainuâs office.
Having taken Sengokuâs place, he naturally entered Sengokuâs office, and the plaque on the office changed from âJustice Under the Kingâ to âAbsolute Justiceâ.
Perhaps it was because the sun was on the back side, the light in the office was very dim, and the face sitting inside could not be seen clearly, only the lit cigar spark.
Only when the figure looked up did Kuro see the face that had begun to grow whiskers.
âOh⦠youâre here, Kuro.â
As Akainu spoke, the scars on his face and neck were faintly distorted.
After fighting with Kuzan, his injuries were not light.
âMarshal Akainu.â
Kuro stood in the room and saluted him.
Akainu smiled and threw him a cigar. âTry it. My taste is not quite the same as Borusalinoâs. You may like it.â
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony.â
Kuro took the cigar, pulled out a chair, sat down, and lit it.
In the mouth of the smoke, Kuro frowned slightly. This smoke⦠is a little spicy, but after the spicy, you can also taste a little sweetness.
Just like Akainu.
âNot bad.â Kuro bit his cigar and leaned back naturally. âSpeaking of which, why did you want to see me?â
âJust entrusted you with something,â Akainu said. âAlthough you are only a Rear Admiral now, donât forget Marineâs honor.â
âHuh?â
Kuro tilted his head in confusion.
âWhat do you mean?â
âOriginally, with your achievements, in the current situation where the position of Admiral is lacking, you can be promoted directly. However, you must have heard that the World Government has its own considerationsâ¦â
When Akainu said this, he could not help but clench his fists. The fiery red color covered his gloves and a burnt smell rose from the table.
âDonât be discouraged when you go to Sabaody. There will be room for you to play there.â
Akainu smiled at him. âAnyway, you are promoted, Lucilu Kuro.â
This old guy â¦
Kuro looked at him as if he knew Akainu again.
Has he changed?
How could such a strong person say such gentle words?
Although these words are not gentle in the eyes of others, they have to be specific.
Akainu, a person who would not turn back even if he knew it was wrong, could say such thingsâ¦
The position of Marshal seems to be very difficult.
âI understand, Marshal Akainu.â
Kuro nodded and said, âI will work hard.â
Akainu nodded and said, âWell, in addition to Sabaodyâs base, you have direct command of Marin Vando. This is Headquartersâ compensation to you. Go and play to your heartâs content. I will leave the first half of the Grand Line to you!â
