Mary Joa, Pangu City, between powers.
Five old men, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
"Sakaski, about the promotion of Luciru Kuro…"
At this time, five old men faced Sakasugi, and one of the curly-haired old men said: "We agree."
"It should be so." Sakasugi bit his cigar and nodded. "You should have agreed long ago."
"Don't misunderstand."
The old man with the map logo on his head said, "The failure of Bundy Walde can only be completed by Marines, not pirates, not even Shichibukai. We have also seen the original report of Lucilu Kuro. That report can't be passed by us. You have done well."
"And there are witnesses who say that Luciru Kuro fought against Bundy Walde at that time, so it can't be considered Mihawk's credit alone. That brat is too upright, he is unwilling to say such things." The long-bearded old man added.
"Well, his strength is enough, and he has a good reputation in the Marine."
The old man nodded and said, "Let's do as you say, Sakasugi."
"Then do it. This time you are sensible." Sakasugi smiled with satisfaction.
"Pay attention to your identity, Sakasugi. You have no right to criticize us. Marines are just the surface of the World Government," the curly-haired old man shouted.
"Whatever you say, I just want to achieve my goal."
Sakasugi snorted and turned to walk out.
The old man with a map on his head said coldly, "Damn Sakasugi, after becoming a Marshal, his attitude towards us is obviously different."
"That's his character. Didn't we choose him as the Marshal because of his character?" The long-bearded old man said.
"Let's not talk about Sakasugi. Let's talk about Lucilu Kuro. We can't treat him badly this time. We have already bet on him twice." The old man said.
"That's right. The last time in Ledfield and Charlotte Lingling have already suppressed that kid's credit and performance. If we continue to suppress it, I'm afraid there will be more resentment."
The curly-haired old man said, "We can't refuse Bundy Walde this time. The hateful Sakasugi actually directly published on the notice that it was solved by Marines."
Bundy Walde put them directly on the stove in the newspaper. If Kuro is not promoted, then he is slapping himself in the face, denying that Marine did not defeat Walde, but was defeated by Mihawk.
Mihawk represents Shichibukai.
In the end, they are still pirates.
This credit can only be given to Luciru Kuro.
That brat can no longer be suppressed.
"Forget it, he is the next general personally appointed by that old monkey."
The red-skinned old man crossed his arms and put his head on the back of his hand and said, "The last incident of the four countries has made many Marines feel indignant. We can't repeat the matter of Zephyr. And Lucilu Kuro is essentially loyal to us, which can be seen from his attitude to Tenryubito."
"That's right."
The curly-haired old man nodded and said, "Charles praised him last time."
"Then so be it. Agree to his promotion to Vice-Admiral and mention Admiral Substitute, codename…"
"Jin Lu."
… .
"We commoners are really happy today."
Kuro leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs as he shook his head.
His entire person stands out.
After the end of Walde, peace was restored in the world.
At least it seemed peaceful.
They each did their own things, and as the first half of the Grand Line, they basically had nothing to do now.
Pirates and so on, Leda, Crowe and Sentomaru will go on a cruise and directly strangle the trouble outside the land, leaving Kuro free.
If he had nothing to do, he would sleep and travel. He would find a place to drink and not be too comfortable.
Except for the bad geographical location of Sabaody Archipelago, there is nothing to force.
However, he also has a holiday. If he has nothing to do, he can return to Pegasus Island, but basically he is staying in Sabaody Archipelago, mainly because he is too lazy to move.
Sitting in this high office and smoking is a very good choice.
These days are not too comfortable.
"Rear Admiral Kuro!"
Outside the door, Wilbur walked in and saluted Kuro.
"Oh… Wilbur."
Kuro glanced at him and said lazily, "What's the matter?"
"Yes, the Den Den Mushi on your side can't be reached. Headquarters called me and they informed you to report to Headquarters." Wilbur said.
"Huh?"
Kuro was stunned for a moment and said, "Report? Didn't I just report my position last time? Let Crowe do this kind of thing. The old man will give me face."
Ever since he was stationed in Sabaody Archipelago, because of his resentment, he asked Kroder to go in his place for the last report.
In any case, he was his direct subordinate, and the old man was easy to talk to, so it did not matter to the headquarters.
It just so happens that this also gives him some free time. He made up his mind to let Crowe do everything.
Because he always felt that nothing good would happen every time he went to report.
Hearing this, Wilbur hesitated for a moment and said, "Headquarters wants you to go personally."
"Okay, okay, I hear you. Is that it?" Kuro waved his hand and said.
"Yes, that's it."
Wilbur lowered his head and stopped talking, but his eyes were always on the window display next to Kuro.
There were Devil Fruits there.
Wilbur had always known about this thing, but now it seemed that there was another one in stock.
"Are you interested?"
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "You have been working hard during this time. If you are interested, you can choose any one. Consider it a token of my appreciation."
He was still very pleased with Wilbur.
Normally, if you don't trouble him, you can try your best to complete the tasks assigned to you. Even if you can't complete them, you will come and apologize. Your attitude is very good and your ability to do things is not bad. Although it is not very strong, the upper limit of this strength can be improved by fruit.
"Ah… Don't eat that."
Kuro pointed to a sea-blue banana-shaped fruit and said, "This is a fish fruit. It's useless to eat it. You can try everything else."
After Walter died, Leda did not drop his fruit in her bag, which made Kuro quite disappointed and happy.
What was lost was that the fruit was quite strong and anyone who ate it could exchange it for a powerful combat power.
He was happy that Leda's bag was not a strange treasure. If there were a few more fruits, he would be scared.
If this thing really has a 100% drop rate, if anyone finds out, they will suffer too much.
"Thank you, Rear Admiral Kuro!"
Wilbur said excitedly: "I will not let you down!"
Devil Fruit!
Rear Admiral Kuro gave him the Devil Fruit!
This is the secret to making people strong!
In other words, Rear Admiral Kuro is starting to acknowledge him!
With excitement, he walked to the window and chose a Devil Fruit. He turned to Kuro and said, "Can I choose this one?"
