New Headquarters.
Marshal's office.
Akainu hung up the phone and the cigar in his mouth swirled with smoke, covering his face until it could not be seen.
Vaguely, one could see the corners of his mouth curling up.
"Good job."
After a long time, he slowly spoke.
On the side, Kizaru, who was leisurely drinking tea, said in surprise, "Oh ~ Is it about Kuro?"
"Well, Luciru Kuro, don't you already know? That kid killed a lot of people in Sabaody Archipelago."
Akainu said to Kizaru, "The Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) have sent an inquiry. In Sabaody Archipelago, there are many complaints about Lucilu Kuro's mishandling."
"Oh, so scary."
Kizaru was surprised. "What about Kuro?"
"Handle?"
Akainu said, "Do you want me to deal with Kurlo, Polusalino?"
Kizaru shrugged and made no comment.
"No need to deal with it."
A smile appeared on Akainu's face. "He did a good job. Such means are what we Marines should have. Not to mention that those old men above don't pursue this matter, even if they do, I will bear it!"
"Oh, it's good that you have a heart. I think so too."
Kizaru slowly took a sip of tea and said, "If Mariejois is busy, I have time to go in the near future."
"I understand what you mean, I will pass it on."
Akainu nodded and said, "As for Kuro, leave him in Sabaody Archipelago for the time being. I will let him come up when I have the chance."
With that, his fist glowed red again, "Justice cannot be blasphemed. A Marine who follows justice, I will not make things difficult for him!"
… .
"Achoo!"
Kuro sneezed violently. He rubbed his nose and leaned back in his chair in boredom. He looked at the window blankly for a long time before sighing.
"The weather is so good…"
The weather in Sabaody Archipelago is indeed good. As a famous tourist destination of the Grand Line, this place rarely rains. It is clear weather all year round. Coupled with the bubbles that constantly fly up from the trees, it becomes colorful under the sunlight and is especially beautiful.
"It's such good weather, why didn't you call?"
Kuro sighed again and turned to look at Den Den Mushi on the table, which was motionless, and then at his wristwatch Den Den Mushi.
There was no movement or sound. It had been a long time. Not to mention the phone, this Den Den Mushi's eyes were not even open.
Not a single phone call!
What happened to the complaint!
What happened to asking!
Didn't you say that you would transfer me to a demotion!
It was just like the bubble outside. There was nothing left after it exploded.
It made Kuro look like a living dead. He waited here every day and lost his soul.
**TIP**
The door was pushed open.
Leda appeared at the door excitedly. "Hey, Kuro, go out and play!"
"Play my ass!"
Kuro glared back at him. "I'm not in the mood. If you want to play, go play by yourself."
"Oh…"
Lida pouted and silently retreated again.
"What the hell!"
Kuro rolled his eyes and sighed. "None of them can make me worry."
Because these people are starting again.
Leda played and ate every day.
Crowe began to patrol the Sabaody Archipelago again. Every time someone called him "Mr. Crowe", he would call him "Military and Civilian Fish Love".
Basil is busy with Acura Star, and things have been going well recently, so there is nothing to bother him about.
Fanny, on the other hand, had set up another research institute here, and there were constant explosions every day.
Kiwi is busy with new dishes every day, although it makes Kuro a little lucky, but…
"This place is not right!"
The blue veins on Kuro's forehead were exposed. "What kind of daily life is this! Doesn't daily life in Sabaody Archipelago mean that I will be stationed in Sabaody Archipelago?"
If he were to do this in another place, such as his base camp, Pegasus Island, or his hometown, East Blue, then Kuro would be very happy. If these people started their daily lives, it basically meant that he would be safe.
But it's nothing in Sabaody Archipelago!
"It doesn't make sense."
Kuro frowned. "Logically speaking, I do have one. With so many people complaining, Headquarters can't stand it. No matter how stubborn Sakasugi is, he has to consider the opinions of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars). It's impossible for those five idiots who only know how to play politics to support me at this time, right?"
The art of politics is compromise.
If you take a step back and he takes a step back, things will be resolved.
People who are too rigid are not suitable to be politicians.
As for politicians …
Don't be ridiculous. There is no such creature in this world.
Kuro knew the reality of this world, but because he knew it too well, he lost interest.
Just like the old man, if you see too much, you will be like light.
The world is too heavy, so heavy that no one can say that they can carry it.
Kuro could not even carry it.
So, wouldn't it be nice for him to find a place to retire?
"Kuro."
At the door, Leda poked her head out again.
"What for?"
"On our side, a new colonel has been transferred to replace Marcy."
"Huh?"
Kuro was stunned. "New Colonel? I didn't ask for anything."
Leda turned sideways and walked into the office, and behind her came a strong man with a shy look.
"Rear Admiral Kuro, long time no see."
Wilbur lowered his head shyly and then thought of something. He raised his head and saluted and said loudly, "Colonel Wilbur has officially transferred from Marin Van Do to Sabaody!"
"Oh, it's you…"
Kuro said, "It's been a while. You transferred from Headquarters? Flat? Who did you offend?"
Transfer from Marin Van Doping to Sabaody?
Although the distance is very close, the comfort level is incomparable. Although Marin Van Do is no longer a Headquarters, it is still a G-1. Isn't it better to be a Marine there than in this lousy place?
Marin Van Do will not be attacked by pirates, while Sabaody… Pirates are like leeks. After cutting a wave, they can grow again and they still have to deal with tenryubito. Rich people can't be offended. In such a damn place, which Marine will come?
"Well, hehehe… Headquarters has its own arrangements."
Wilbur smiled awkwardly. He did not dare to say that he had requested the application.
Although he admired Kuro, he could not say this. It would not be good if Rear Admiral Kuro thought that he had deliberately approached him.
"Forget it, you are still very good, much better than my subordinates."
Kuro waved his hand. "How about this, you will be responsible for the internal affairs of the Marine base."
Under him, only Crowe and Cass can work at the school level. He definitely doesn't dare to bring that hot-blooded idiot Cass with him. It's good to leave him on Pegasus Island.
Then the only one who is busy is Crowe. In addition to being his adjutant, he has to be fully responsible for everything in the Sabaody Marine Base, including all Marine matters such as public security in the outside world.
Although he was in a "military and civilian relationship" every day, this was his only comfort. If he pushed him too hard, Kuro felt that he would be busy to death.
It was good that Wilbur was here.
This person is sensible and has a high comprehension ability. Kuro is very relieved to give him some power.
"Yes!!"
When Wilbur heard Kuro say so, he answered loudly and excitedly.
As soon as I came, I had such a heavy responsibility!
Rear Admiral Kuro really appreciates me!
This is really… really great!!!
During this period of time, Wilbur was not idle. Because he admired his idol too much, he collected Rear Admiral Kuro's resume, including those of his subordinates.
Flo Lida, a great genius with a powerful body technique. She usually maintains a young body and will transform at the time of battle. She is very violent and is a capable subordinate of Major General Kuro.
Crowe used to be a pirate… but that doesn't matter anymore. Now Crowe is the right-hand man of Major General Kuro, a think tank. He does everything, even more than a butler.
There is also Doug Cass, who also shone in the War Of The Best. It is said that he was just an ordinary Marine back then. It was because he followed Rear Admiral Kuro that he has today's achievements. Now, he is the Base Chief of Pegasus Island alone.
As for his subordinates below, Wilbur's eyes were not there. He is a colonel, compared to these direct subordinates.
Major General Kuro's right-hand man and the shield on his back are all there, but there is one place that is not there.
I want to be the spear in front of Rear Admiral Kuro and clear all obstacles for him! Wilbur swore to himself.
