Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 574

Add More Cannons (×) and More Materials (?)_1

Listening to Kizaru, Kuro was stunned for a moment. “Virgo?”

Who is this person again?

I think I mentioned it before, but I seem to have forgotten…

Kuro’s memory is not omnipotent. After all, he has lived here for so long, who would still revise the plot every day?

Whoever stays in a strange place for more than 20 years will not remember some things.

It was like a person in his twenties who could never remember all his elementary school classmates.

Even after Kuro entered the Headquarters, the people he came into contact with were either generals or Yonk? (Four Emperors) or important people. Some people really could not remember.

“Codename ‘Ghost Bamboo’, Vice-Admiral Virgo, G-5 Branch Base Chief, in Marine internal evaluation, is a very good Marine.”

Kizaru said, “However, we recently found some things that make us a little suspicious. You have to check it out. Marine can’t transfer people for the time being, and it’s not appropriate for Mr. Garp and Mr. Sengoku to go. After thinking about it, you, who haven’t taken office yet, are the most suitable.”

“I see. Then I’ll go.”

Kuro bit his cigar and said, “I will investigate slowly, old man, you can’t rush me, otherwise you can’t infer the truth.”

“Well, that’s your business, Kuro, remember to tell Headquarters about the flagship you want to customize, that’s all.” Kizaru laughed.

“Okay, you can rest.”

Kuro picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and sipped again. “I still don’t like tea.”

“Oh, you will like it when you are old.”

“Then we’ll talk about it when I’m older. Also, Grandpa, where are your cigars?”

“I’ve prepared it for you. It’s on the logistics side. You can get it yourself.”

“Okay, I’ll leave first.”

Kuro waved his hand and turned to walk out.

Although as a reserve general, he can ask for a special supply himself, his share is one, and so is the old man’s. Isn’t it good for him to have two?

He left the office and walked out of the main base gate. Only Leda was waiting for him there.

“Where are the others?” Kuro glanced around and asked.

“It’s still debriefing. Hey, Kuro, let’s go shopping,” Leda said.

“I’m not free now. Call Crowe and go to G-5 with me. The rest of you stay in the headquarters and wait for orders. Also, tell Wilbur that I want to get a Vice-Admiralship…”

“Ship?”

Leda said happily, “Is it a spaceship that can be freely customized? That’s great. Can I choose the style I like? I want a spaceship with a permanent refill of ice cream on the bow.”

“Then find a Devil Fruit user who can make ice cream to be a Marine!”

Kuro glared at Leda. “In addition, you don’t need that kind of flagship. If you want your own flagship, you can become a Vice-Admiral first!”

And ice cream…

Such a special style, do you think I am not conspicuous enough!

“Oh…” Leda’s face fell.

“In short, I want an ordinary ship. Don’t be too eye-catching, just like an ordinary warship. Just add a few more guns and bring the message.” Kuro said.

“Then what are you doing?”

“I’m going to the logistics warehouse to get some cigars and some weapons to send to the treasury.”

Kuro waved his hand and said, “Hurry up, I will wait for you at the port.”

“Oh.”

Leda shrugged and turned in the direction of the debriefing office.

That place is not the same as Kuro’s logistics warehouse.

As she walked, she took out a packet of biscuits from her backpack and opened her mouth to eat.

“Hey, have you heard? There’s a new delicious snack shop in the back.”

“Ah! I know that place. I heard that it’s a limited supply, baking on the spot and only selling a little every day.”

“Let’s go there later.”

“Yes, go and taste it.”

Leda’s ears twitched and she looked at two laughing female Marines passing by.

“Snacks? Limited supply? Delicious?” Leda’s eyes widened and saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.

She poured the biscuit bag into her mouth and swallowed it after chewing a few times. Her eyes began to shine.

“I want to eat!”

She was about to walk towards the two female Marines.

But soon, she stopped and her little face twisted:

“But it was Kuro who told me about it. If I was a little slower, Kuro would have waited there, but if I was late, would it have been sold out…”

“Leda?”

At this moment, a voice sounded beside her.

Leda turned to look and her eyes lit up. “Sister Stork!”

The person who came over was Sturgeon and his companion, Basil.

“What about me? What about me? Don’t you have my name?” Basil asked.

Leda completely ignored Basil and said directly:

“Here, here, Kuro said to let you stay in the Headquarters, and then we will go to do something. He also asked me to find Wilbur, but I have something to do now. Sister Sturgeon, help me find Wilbur. Kuro wants to customize a Vice-Admiral Ship and let Wilbur watch it. The specific standard is…”

“Ha!!!”

At this moment, a group of trained Marines ran past and roared, the sound was so loud that it almost drowned Leda’s voice.

“That’s it, I’m leaving.”

Leda waved her hand and turned to chase after the two female Marines who spoke first.

Stork froze and looked at Basil. “What did Leda just say?”

The roar of Marine just now made the stork shake a little and it was not heard clearly.

Her ears were not very good to begin with. Although she could hear the specific words of women, she had to be clear.

She only heard the gist of Leda’s words and didn’t hear the details.

Fortunately, Basil was there.

“Uh, Miss Lida said to ask you to look for Wilbur, Vice-Admiral Kuro’s flagship. The standard is ordinary, don’t attract attention. Just like ordinary warships, add a few more guns.”

The stork nodded thoughtfully and turned to walk inside.

And Basil also left the Headquarters Base as if he was avoiding the plague. He had to go to the Marine Temporary Resettlement Building as soon as possible to avoid being discovered by those ‘acquaintances’ and then dragged to ‘special training’.

At this moment, Wilbur had just finished his report and was about to leave when he saw Stork walking towards him.

“Wilbur.”

“Colonel Stork?”

Wilbur stopped and said: “What can I do for you?”

“Lieutenant General Kuro has something for you to do.”

“Oh?!”

Wilbur’s eyes lit up and he clenched his fists and said excitedly, “Mr. Kuro, do you have something for me to do?! Please say, I, Brownhard Wilbur, will definitely do it!”

Stork tilted his head and looked puzzled. She didn’t hear what Wilbur said, but from his expression, he should agree and be happy.

She nodded and said, “Vice-Admiral Kuro asked you to customize a Vice-Admiral Battleship. The standard is that it is not ordinary and must be eye-catching. Don’t add more materials like ordinary Battleships.”

“Do you understand?” She was afraid that she would not be able to repeat it, so she asked again.

“Vice-Admiral’s ship?! Mr. Kuro wants to customize a Vice-Admiral’s ship?! Indeed, how can there be no ship, that doesn’t match Mr. Kuro’s identity!”

Wilbur said excitedly, “Don’t worry, I will do it well. I will add more materials and make this flagship attract the attention of everyone!”

With that, he ran out quickly.
