Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 270

Work Harder to Make Kuro a Admiral!

Not only did Smoker not persuade Kuro, but he was also threatened by Kuro and could only drink there gloomily.

“I finished eating. Another table, Smoker.”

Leda made a sound. The food on the table was already bare. At this time, Crowe had not finished his beef.

“Another table.”

Smoker gritted his teeth.

Since he had already invited her, there was no reason for him to be stingy. He had fallen into her trap and he had to complete it no matter what.

“Don’t even think about bringing me along. I’m going back to enjoy life. Now, I can remember anyone who gets in my way.”

Kuro poured a glass of wine for Smoker and said lightly, “Justice is different, so the way it is done is different. I am not as responsible as you, so don’t force it.”

“For the sake of your treat, let me tell you that you have to be careful when you go to G-5. I seem to have heard of that Virgo somewhere. He is not as easy to get along with as the rumors say.”

“Not easy to get along with?”

Smoker frowned. “If it’s not easy to get along, isn’t it still Marine? As long as the position is the same, there will be no problem.”

That was true.

Marine’s standard for employing people is… no standard.

In addition to the credit, the higher-ups judge people. If you are happy, you can be promoted. If you are not happy, you have no credit.

On the other hand, the strong people will basically stand firm on their own positions. The strong people of Marine must have more positions on justice than evil, and vice versa.

“I’m not sure either. Anyway, it doesn’t feel right. It’s not wrong to be careful.”

Kuro took a puff of his cigar, looked at him, and said slowly, “Don’t die in the New World…”

After Leda finished eating, Kuro left, leaving him alone to ponder.

Let’s trust Kuro, Shirahoshi. He wants safety too much. No matter what kind of person, there will be a kind of threat in his eyes.

But if he didn’t believe it, he wouldn’t say this for no reason.

“‘Ghost Bamboo’ Virgo…” Smoker muttered.

Perhaps he should get to know this man better.

… .

After staying in Headquarters for a few days, Kuro was awarded the position of Colonel by Headquarters, and with him was a group of Marines.

On that day, all the Marines that Kuro was familiar with came.

Kuro went on stage with an unhappy look on his face and took the promotion document issued by the government-sponsored Marine and the Medal of War.

Promoted.

He was still promoted.

From Captain to Captain, Captain to Colonel. I can’t be promoted anymore. If I am promoted again, something will happen.

“Mr. Kuro, are you already a colonel?!”

Kirby looked at Kuro, clenched his fists and said enviously, “Mr. Kuro, you are my goal. I will surpass you and become a Marine Admiral!”

Beru Maybo gritted his teeth behind him. He was once an unknown old Marine in East Blue 153 Division and was already a colonel. But this kid, Kirby, was the first to surpass him and awakened Observation Haki.

Stress, this is all pressure!

On the other side, Kaz led a group of people with solemn expressions, looking at Kuro on the stage with admiration in his eyes.

“Mr. Kuro is only promoted to Colonel… What’s going on, haven’t we worked hard enough?”

Kaz turned back to the Marines and said seriously, “Look at Mr. Kuro. He looks so bad. He must think that his rank is too low. This is too shameful. We haven’t worked hard enough. We have to work harder. If this continues, when will Mr. Kuro become a general?”

“It’s all my fault. If I was stronger…”

A Marine lowered his head sadly and looked indignant.

“If we work harder during the war, Mr. Kuro, we will definitely reach the Admiral level!” The Marines were all unwilling.

“There is no need to look back on the past. The facts have already happened.”

Kaz said fervently: “We want to see the future. Since we can’t do it now, let’s make Mr. Kuro a Marine Admiral in the future!”

“Mr. Cass, I will follow you all my life!”

“That’s right, only by following behind Kaz can you see Mr. Kuro’s back!”

Why are you arguing?

Kuro felt a jolt in his body and subconsciously looked down the stage. He saw Kaz and his group in a mess, which made Kuro instantly alert.

‘They haven’t left?’

Oh no!

Nothing good comes from being with Cass.

This person must not be allowed to follow him!

“Kulokulo, it’s a colonel. Does that mean that he can become a base chief?”

When Kuro received the award, Leda jumped to the side and asked curiously.

“Logically speaking, the old man told me two days ago that I should be going to the West Blue.”

“Not East Blue?” Leda was disappointed.

She missed Barati of the East Blue.

“It’s good enough to be in the Four Seas. How can you ask for so much? As for where it is, wait for the follow-up notice.” Kuro rolled his eyes.

No matter how dangerous the four seas are, they are not as dangerous as the Grand Line.

If he doesn’t have a base stationed here, he will be easily conscripted to the New World.

Especially recently when it was the Marine shuffle.

“Mr. Kuro, no, Colonel Kuro!”

Suddenly Kaz came over and gave Kuro a Marine salute.

Seeing this person, Kuro’s head was jumping. He subconsciously took a step back and reached out his hand. “Stop, Cass, you are too hot. Stay away from me, I am afraid of heat.”

He believed in metaphysics.

Ever since Kaz stabbed him in the back a few times, he didn’t even want to see him. He felt that nothing good would happen if he saw him.

When I go home later, I must wash my eyes properly!

“Where are you going next?” Kaz asked.

What?

You mean you want to be with me?

You’re quite bad with a bad beard.

“Go back to East Blue. Cass, you know that I am very homesick, but the transfer is not under my control. This is a matter for my superiors.”

Kuro thought about it and lied.

He was going to the West Blue, but seeing Cass’s expression, he didn’t dare to say it.

In any case, it has not been announced yet. When it is announced, he will be gone. At that time, no one will disturb each other.

In the future, if I really have to report back to the Ministry, I will push the blame to the old man.

This was not something he could decide in the first place. It was not wrong to say so.

“I see, I understand. I’ll take my leave first.” Kaz nodded and turned to leave.

‘Yes?’

Something is wrong with you.

Why is this bearded man so easy to talk to today?

“Not going to chat?”

Kuro spoke subconsciously.

Kaz stopped in his tracks, making Kuro want to slap himself for saying that!

“No, Mr. Kuro, I am not qualified to follow you now. I will work hard,” Kaz said to him solemnly and left with the Marines.

“Huh? What’s wrong with him? Is he hungry?” Leda tilted her head and her face showed doubts.

“It’s a pity, Mr. Kuro. His ability will be very convenient with those Marines.” Crowe pushed up his glasses.

“Convenience?”

Kuro glared at Crowe. “I’m going to suffer because of him. Whose side are you on?”

With this hot-blooded personality, if he really formed a team with him, he would probably be qualified to compete for the position of Admiral before the Marine shuffle is completed.

What?

He went to confront Akainu?

Or team up with Kuzan to travel?

“Mr. Cass, are we also going to East Blue?”

When they were far away, a first-class Marine asked.

“No…”

Kaz shook his head. “We are not worthy. Since Mr. Kuro is interested in the East Blue, we will go to the West Blue. When we make a name for ourselves in the West Blue and raise Mr. Kuro’s name, we will have the face to see him. Go and apply. We will transfer to the West Blue.”
