Chapter 1063: How Can There Be Such A Young Admiral
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Kuro himself would not think too much about these words.
The old man wants to retreat?
Not to mention Sakasugi, the World Government will not agree either.
He has so many people under him. If they retreat just like that, who will take over?
Himself?
He did not have that ability.
Although the Marines often give him face, isn’t it still because of the old man? Once the old man withdraws, his face will be greatly reduced, so I definitely can’t do it.
Moreover, he is too young. Even if the old man can retreat, he will not be the general. There are so many old qualifications under him. It will not be his turn.
Jiji and Jiyuan are not bad. These people have been the candidates for the Great General for so many years. If there is really no suitable one, they will definitely replace the old man once he retires. After all, their qualifications are there.
What qualifications do I have? Didn’t I just kill a few old men? That old man is a disadvantaged group.
‘What?’
Yonkō (Four Emperors)?
Yonkō (Four Emperors) are also disabled.
Crazy, crazy, stupid, disabled, and a big Muggle with missing teeth.
“Okay, Old Master, don’t think too much. Just stay here in peace. You are more comfortable than me now. Sometimes I have to go out. I am envious of this general position.”
Kuro stood up and left the office.
Kizaru stared at Kuro’s back, smiled and murmured, “I’m envious…”
There was no need to be so envious.
But now, it still needs some time, and the higher-ups have not completely settled it, because things have not been completely settled, it is not good for them to make a big fuss.
After leaving the Headquarters building, Kuro saw many people waiting for him.
Leda, Crowe, Stork, Basil, Fanny, and Moore. These few stayed in the headquarters, and the rest were outside.
“Lieutenant General Kuro!” As soon as Basil saw Kuro, he immediately saluted.
“You’re here too. I thought you were looking for a woman.” Kuro nodded and looked at Moore.
“What are you saying…”
Moore scratched his head. “You are my superior. Now that you are back, of course I have to be here.”
“Okay, let’s go eat, Crowe, have you booked the restaurant?” Kuro asked.
“Yes, it has been chosen. It was chosen by Sentomaru.” Crowe pushed up his glasses and said, “He happened to be reporting in the headquarters, so he came along.”
“Oh? He’s here too. Okay, let’s… Tina?”
As soon as Kuro said this, he saw a familiar person and called out.
In front of him, Tina was biting a cigarette, followed by Finbo Di and Zangoo, who were walking over with their arms crossed.
“Kuro?”
Tina also saw the person in front of her and her gaze was a little strange. “Why are you here?”
“What are you saying? If I’m not here, where am I?”
Kuro rolled his eyes. “I’m Marine and this is Headquarters. I don’t have any territory stationed here recently. Isn’t it normal for me to be in Headquarters?”
“No, you should be in…”
Tina suddenly thought of something and shook her head. “No, nothing. It seems that Astya is over. Tina heard that you became the world’s number one swordsman?”
Kuro waved his hand. “It’s just an empty title. We Marines have to keep a low profile and can’t be as high-profile as pirates. Speaking of which, how did you know? Didn’t you hide the news?”
“Tina is Staff Officer Tsuru’s subordinate, she will naturally know.”
Tina looked at Kuro with a complicated expression. “Congratulations.”
“What’s there to congratulate? You came at the right time. I don’t have enough stock recently. You can get me some black guns later and I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Sure, Tina is also hungry.”
“Then let’s eat first. By the way, where is Smoker?”
“I don’t know. It should still be in G-5.”
Tina followed Kuro and moved towards the restaurant with Crowe leading the way.
“World’s Greatest Swordsman?”
The people below were a little shocked.
Zangao stared at Kuro with his eyes wide open. He knew that Kuro was very strong, but he did not expect him to be so strong. Kuro was the world’s number one swordsman. Although he did not play with swords, he also used hypnotic rings. As a weapons sect, he knew a little about this kind of reputation.
What is interesting about the sea is that as long as it is a blade, it can be called a ‘sword’.
Axes are ‘swords’, and knives are also ‘swords’. Even metahumans, such as Darz Bonis, can be called ‘swords’.
Why else would Mihawk remember him so clearly?
“World’s Greatest Swordsman?”
Salzir’s eyes also widened. “Vice-Admiral Kuro has already reached this point? Then the next step is to become a general.”
Kuro turned around and glared at him. “What are you talking about?! What general, what general!”
“But, Vice Admiral Kuro…”
Sazir didn’t quite understand and said, “You are already very powerful now. As a reserve general and the world’s number one swordsman, you also rule Shichibukai. As long as Kizaru retreats, you will be a general.”
This is a principle that everyone knows. He is a reserve general. A reserve general is just a general without him.
“It’s impossible.”
Kuro shook his head decisively. “What reason do you have to step down? It’s still early, don’t say such unlucky words. You have been in the headquarters for a long time recently, is your skin not itchy anymore?”
Basil opened his mouth and wanted to continue, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his skin, as if he had been stabbed by a sword, and immediately shut up.
But he felt wronged. What he said made sense…
Moore shook his head and hooked on to Basil and said softly, “In this world, reason alone is useless. Basil, why are you thinking about this? Let’s go, Uncle will take you to see something good. That place is quite big, it will definitely make you happy.”
“Don’t bring bad people, Moore!”
Kuro’s lips twitched. “You can play your own game. Why do you want to pull people?”
Moore shrugged and did not answer.
Tina, on the other hand, looked at Kuro with a strange expression and said, “Tina is very curious. You don’t want to be a general?”
“A soldier who doesn’t want to be a chef is not a good lieutenant general,” Kuro said.
Tina cocked her head. “What do you mean?”
Kuro bit his cigar and said, “It means that I’m not a good lieutenant general. It’s too early to be a general. Do you dare to let him go? As a staff officer, you haven’t received any news. Obviously, you didn’t mention this, so what are you thinking about here? Tina, have you seen a general in his twenties? Kuzan is so young, he only became a general in his thirties.”
It’s not unacceptable to be a general. After all, the current status is here, but it depends on the timing.
It was still early for the old man to retire. He was thinking about being a general now. If the old man knew about this and he really retired, he would be in trouble.
He still wanted to enjoy more than ten years of happiness.
