Marine Unconditional Support
New Headquarters.
The Kingpin docked in the harbor.
The ship leaned to the side and a staircase opened from the side and descended to the port.
Kuro was wrapped in bandages and floating around, bringing Leda and Crowe down.
At the port, two rows of Marines saluted at the same time and stood straight.
Kuro bit his cigar as he passed through the middle and went straight to the Marshal’s office.
This time, he brought Leda and Crowe.
It was not what he wanted to bring, but the old man specifically instructed him to bring two subordinates.
Kuro Trail goes all the way to the tallest building, Sky Guardian Pavilion, where Sakasugi is sitting at the Marshal’s table, and Kizaru is sitting on a big chair next to him, crossing his legs.
“Oh, Kuro.”
Seeing Kuro coming, Kizaru said with a pout, “How did it become like this? Is Barret so powerful? It’s terrible.”
Kuro rolled his eyes and ignored him. Instead, he nodded at Sakasugi. “Marshal Sakasugi.”
Sakasugi nodded and looked at Kuro’s bandaged body and said in a deep voice, “Good work.”
What a good Marine. He was seriously injured and had to obey orders to come here.
“Sit first.”
As Sakasugi spoke, a Marine quickly moved a big chair and placed it behind Kuro.
Kuro did not stand on ceremony and sat directly opposite Sakasugi. Behind him, Crowe and Leda stood straight.
“I have heard the report about Barrett, but I want to hear it from you again,” Sakasugi said.
“Ah… with the help of many Vice-Admiral and Shichibukai, I barely won against Barret. The pirates of Gregate were not solved by me. It was mainly Barret who caused the ability shock.”
Kuro opened his mouth and said, “Marshal Sakaski, everyone has contributed.”
This is good Marine!
Sakasugi was even more satisfied. He was the one who killed Barrett, but he did not forget his colleagues who came. Sure enough, Kuro was such a person from the beginning and had never changed.
Actually, it’s not a big deal for him to say that he did it himself. They have a special evaluation. Not to mention that this is Kuro’s credit, even if it isn’t, with his current contribution, they will give it to him.
Marine owed him too much.
Fortunately, the communication to the higher-ups this time was passed by those old men. Or rather, they also liked Kuro at the beginning, which was good and saved them the trouble.
“We will evaluate the details. You should rest for a while. However, Kuro, your own proposal has passed. You know that, right?” Sakasugi said in a deep voice.
“I know…”
As soon as Kuro said that, he saw Sakasugi’s eyes and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He immediately changed his words. “Wait! I don’t know! I am seriously injured now, I…”
Sakasugi stretched out his hand to stop Kuro and said, “The World Council has decided to re-select Shichibukai and the power to lead Shichibukai is no longer under the jurisdiction of the World Government. Instead, it is handed over to us to cross-manage with the World Government. Basically, we are responsible for the jurisdiction and leadership, but we will also listen to the call of the World Government.”
These words are equivalent to giving face, whether to listen to the words of the World Government or not… Except for principles, when has Marine completed other orders?
It turns out that Marine is responsible for the jurisdiction, but in order to take care of the face of the so-called three major agencies directly under the World Government, they still hang on to the World Government and don’t let Shichibukai be inferior to Marine on the surface.
But in fact, they are not inferior to Marines. Shichibukai also depends on people. There are only a few Shichibukai today, mainly Hawkeye and Hancock. These two people have never bought it. It doesn’t matter who they hang under, they themselves represent the capital not to buy it.
With that, Sakasugi looked at Kuro. That look made Kuro want to run.
“This power, we are ready to give it to you, and you, Jinchuan, will be responsible for the whole Shichibukai.” Sakasugi said slowly.
“Wait! Wait!”
Kuro directly jumped up and shouted, “No, I’m a Vice-Admiral. Why should I lead Shichibukai? My position is not enough, and I’m not convinced. This kind of thing should be left to the Admiral…”
“The Admiral will cooperate with you.” Sakasugi’s eyes are like an eagle as he looked over and said, “Including me, as long as it is needed, I will cooperate with you!”
It’s not …
Are you playing so big?!
Kuro had always thought that even if this matter fell on the old man, he would at most cooperate and do something for the old man.
What’s happening now?
Admiral, cooperate with me?
You want to cooperate with me as a Marshal?
This time, Kuro was stunned. The words he had thought of in advance were stuck in his throat and he said dryly, “Isn’t there an old… isn’t there an Admiral Kizaru?”
As he spoke, he looked over with pleading eyes.
He was already like this. He was already in a bandage.
You should at least do something!
Aren’t you treating me like your own son!
Kizaru opened his mouth and said, “Oh, this decision is so terrible, Sakasugi.”
Here it comes!
Kuro’s heart shook. Finally, the old guy spoke up for him.
“But this is the decision of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars). There is no other way. Accept it, Kuro.”
Kizaru’s next words made Kuro’s heart turn cold.
“What’s the situation?”
Kuro bared his teeth and said, “The Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars)? Why are the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) looking for me? Didn’t they look for you?”
The corner of Sakasugi’s mouth rose. “What you did in Greigate has restored the face lost by the revolutionary army. Many kings think highly of you, so this time the Gorōsei will give you this power.”
What the …
I …
Kuro gritted his teeth and held back the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth, causing veins to burst out on his bandaged forehead.
I’m going for revenge, not to work for the World Government!
The World Conference is the World Conference. I am me. The situation is different!
“Isn’t it good to give this matter to Admiral Kizaru? Admiral Fujitora can also do it. If it doesn’t work, General Green Bull can do it.” Kuro said dryly.
“I am very busy.”
Kizaru chuckled and said, “Recently, Vegapunk’s research has been showing results. I have to take care of that side.”
Stop it!
I see you drinking tea or cutting your nails every day. When have you ever been busy!
“Tenghu and Green Bull…”
Sakasugi thought for a moment and said, “The higher-ups are handed over to you, so you will complete it. Compared to those two, we prefer you.”
Even for those Vice-Admiral who hold real power, it is better to let Kuro take charge than Fujitora and Green Bull.
At the very least, the former would recognize it, or… it would probably become chaotic.
“Kuro, your biggest flaw is that you are too humble.”
Sakasugi said in a deep voice, “This is decided by the higher-ups. You can carry the burden on your shoulders. You don’t have to be afraid of anything. Our Marine will support any decision you make unconditionally.”
