"You are demoted."
Den Den Mushi said, "Due to your indiscriminate expulsion of people in the Country of Insects, which includes famous martial artists in various countries and even nobles, the World Government's treatment of you is from colonel to captain, and the position of base chief is temporarily taken over by Major Crowe on your side."
Hearing this, Kuro was overjoyed. Finally, since he entered the headquarters, he had finally completed the successful plan he had planned!
Successful demotion!
"From colonel to captain, you have to take this lesson seriously. You are not allowed to do it again, Kuro."
Den Den Mushi said earnestly.
The cow scolded me!
I finally did it!
Kuro's hand holding the microphone was shaking.
Dropping to Captain, totally okay.
Crowe takes over?
What's the difference between him taking over and him being the base commander?
Sengoku, this old man, was also giving him face. He didn't send someone who parachuted in, but I don't think anyone will.
He still has the old man standing in his way. Who is so blind as to not give him face?
Captain!
He is now in the Four Seas. Originally, the minimum goal was to be killed by the World Government, not to be promoted, and to be slowly forgotten until one day the situation is ruined.
But now that he has been demoted, it is not as simple as being pressed to death. The complaints of those people have made the World Government have a higher degree of dislike for him, which is why he was demoted three levels in a row.
This is even more outrageous than Femboldi was back then.
His Headquarters Captain had been demoted to a Third Class Soldier, which was seven or eight ranks down in a row, but the weight was different. It was not very difficult to go from a Third Class Soldier to a Captain, but it was not so easy for a Captain to be the backbone of the Marine.
His descent was much more ruthless than Femboldi's.
But he was happy!
There are no more than 300 million pirates for him to capture in West Blue, nor are there any major events like the War Of The Best. As long as he is careful, it is impossible for him to complete the task of returning to his original position in West Blue in a very short time.
With his current situation, he felt that he could be compared to when he was in the East China Sea. He did not expect to be safe for ten years, but he would be fine for six or seven years.
Six or seven years later, according to the current situation, there will definitely be a big change, but after the change, there will be a long period of peace.
No matter who is the Pirate King, no matter who is the World Government, Marines are still Marines. At that time, he, Luciru Kuro, can really live a peaceful and stable life!
What a joyous occasion!
"Sang Sengoku, I express my heavy grief. This is a lesson. I will not do it again."
Although his words were heavy, Kuro's expression at this time, his teeth were grinning and his eyes were narrowed.
That look made Leda lose her appetite. It was too obscene…
"Well, after hearing this, do you feel a little regretful?" Den Den Mushi said.
"Yes, I regret it very much. If I had to do it again, I would definitely not be so violent to investigate the Revolutionary Army. I would be gentler." Kuro added.
"When you do things in the future, you have to think about the overall situation. You are someone we all think highly of and should not make such a low-level mistake. Don't learn from Polusalino. Speaking of which, although he is absent-minded, he is better at seeing the big picture than you. You have to learn this."
Old man?
Forget it.
That clever old man was thinking about the big picture.
Kuro rolled his eyes, but he still said, "Yes, I will learn humbly."
"Well, it's good that you are aware. Congratulations, Lucilu Kuro, you are a Brigadier."
Den Den Mushi smiled and said something that made Kuro fall into an icehouse.
"What? Wait, what did you say?!"
Kuro widened his eyes and moved his head closer to Den Den Mushi. He stared at Den Den Mushi. "Tell me clearly, Sengoku!"
Den Den Mushi smiled and said, "After all, it was I who ordered you to investigate the Revolutionary Army. You are a little impulsive, but it is also for the good of the World Government. Although there is a microblog, considering your purpose, I don't intend to pursue it. Although CP3's branch team has been lost, the Country of Insects has not been captured by the Revolutionary Army, which is a good thing."
"After all, the information we got is that the ones active in the Country of Insects at that time are the deputy of the Revolutionary Army, Chief of Staff Sabo, and the Captain of the 'North Army', Crow. These are two very dangerous criminals. It will be very troublesome to deal with them."
"But this has nothing to do with my promotion!"
Kuro was anxious. "Sengoku, tell me properly. I didn't do anything there and received so many complaints. Even if I'm not pursued, I won't be promoted! Then what do you mean by saying those words to me?!"
Not only was he not demoted, but he was also promoted?
"This is to prevent you from being impulsive in the future and scare you. Remember the mood just now, Kuro."
Den Den Mushi chuckled and said, "As for why you were promoted, your subordinate Doug Cass met Captain 'East Army' in the Twin Horse Kingdom and successfully repelled her. Bello Betty is an extremely troublesome woman. When she goes to a country, she will either overthrow the king there or let many people join the Revolutionary Army, which is a big headache for the higher-ups."
"After the Twin Horse Kingdom found out about this, they were also very scared and reported it with Kaz. I have to say that it is very good for you to leave a subordinate to guard the base. Kaz said that this is what you taught, so the credit is on you. In addition, because of the Insect Country incident, although you are complained by many people, we know that if they stay there, there will be a lot of casualties. You have protected the safety of many people, so after consideration, in order to reward you, you are promoted."
"That's it, Kuro, remember to come to Headquarters."
As he spoke, Den Den Mushi's eyes were about to close. It seemed that he was going to hang up.
"Wait, wait, Sengoku-san!"
Kuro shouted, "Wait a minute! This is not right!"
"What else, Kuro?"
"No, Sengoku-san, listen to me, no, let me explain it to you. It's like this, I feel that I'm ashamed of this Brigadier General. First, I didn't stop the Revolutionary Army, second, I didn't let the Country of Insects avoid the conflict with the Revolutionary Army, and third, I didn't give those people who were driven out by me a more perfect guarantee, I just drove them out and even used violence."
"I don't deserve this promotion. Please reconsider, I think I still need to train." Kuro said in a panic.
"No, you have done enough, enough, Kuro, don't undervalue yourself. In our opinion, you are a good Marine, and it would be better if your temperament was not so like Polusalino," Den Den Mushi said gently.
"No, I'm a colonel, how did I become a brigadier general out of nowhere? Why don't you find someone else? I think my promotion needs to rely on personal struggle and the course of history. I'm not qualified now, really."
In the face of this serious self-criticism, Sengoku only said one sentence: "When you have time, come to the headquarters to be honored. I still have something to do."
Beep, beep, beep…
Den Den Mushi closed his eyes and made a series of sounds.
Kuro held the microphone in a daze for a long time. After a long time, he turned to the window and roared, "Kaz!!!"
