After Jendo finished shouting, he fell into silence and took half a step back, including Kizaru. He stepped back and looked at Kuro with a smile.
Kuro froze and stared at the people below. He wanted to say something lewd, but he felt that it was not appropriate in this situation.
But he should say something. It was not appropriate to be so stiff.
"Well…"
"Admiral! Admiral Kuro!!"
"Admiral Kuro!!!"
As soon as Kuro opened his mouth, a loud cry came from below.
Kaz was shouting with a red face and blue veins on his neck. Beside him, Wilbur clenched his fists and roared crazily as if he was cheering for his idol.
With the roars of these two people, it also led to the cries of some people behind.
"Admiral Kuro!"
"Admiral Kuro!"
"Admiral Kuro!"
Gradually, the voices gradually became orderly, and tens of thousands of Marines below the stage shouted in unison.
Kuro's eyes were sharp and he saw a short white-haired figure in the team. He raised his small fist and shouted as if he was joining in the fun.
"What the hell …"
Kuro subconsciously took out a cigar box from his arms, took out a cigar and lit it. Then, he pressed his hand down, and immediately, the voice below fell silent.
"Hu…"
Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and let it fill the air. He looked down for a long time before slowly saying, "In the name of justice, we will not let any evil grow."
The sound was very soft, but through the ability of the fruit, he dispersed the sound waves into the air and transmitted them accurately into the ears of every Marine.
"Everyone, for justice," Kuro said again, then turned and entered the Pavilion of Heavenly Protection.
The Marines below fell into a kind of silence.
After Kuro turned around and walked in, a tsunami-like sound suddenly came from below.
"For justice!!!"
The sound was so loud that it shook the building.
"Tsk, it's quite loud."
Kuro walked into the hall, shook his head, bit his cigar, and sat unceremoniously on a big seat next to Sakasugi.
"Young man, you have to pick your courage."
Crane smiled and said: "Congratulations, from now on, you are a general."
"Ah… a great general."
Kuro was sitting in his seat, biting his cigar. After responding, he continued, "This general is unprepared."
"This is the way of the world. This is not something that you can take over just because you are prepared." Crane smiled and said, "Back then, we also fought pirates without any preparation."
"Puhaha, exactly!" Garp laughed.
"Admiral, in fact, the things dealt with are almost the same. Hahaha, don't worry so much, Kuro." Sengoku also laughed.
"You guys are so easy to talk to!"
Kuro glared at the two of them and then looked at Kizaru. "Grandpa, what are you going to do?"
At this time, Sakasugi said, "Don't worry, it's arranged. The position will be transferred to the Grand Inspector, just like Sengoku."
"Oh, that's good. I can relax now."
Kizaru smiled and said, "If I have nothing to do, I can go fishing or something. Kuro, is your Pegasus Island welcoming me?"
"Don't say that. It's as if I despise you."
Kuro snapped, "Pegasus Island is open to all Marines. If you want to go, it's free!"
"Oh, Big Boss is really different." Kizaru chuckled and said, "Then I will rest there for a while and experience a different life."
The Marine Chief Inspector is an idle position with no real power and only a little power to supervise. The source of this power is not given by this position but their own fame. This position is basically exclusive to the Admiral.
If a general retires, of course, he will not be given such a position. A general will not be able to use this rank after retiring, but if a Vice-Admiral retires, he can continue to use this rank.
Marine has money because the World Government has money. No matter how big or small the position is, there will be subsidies if you retire, unless you really don't want to stay in Marine and don't even want the position.
Unless someone as famous as Garp needs to be forced to stay, everything else is fine.
Kizaru wants to step down. There is no place for him other than the Chief Inspector. Otherwise, he will be forced to withdraw like Kuzan. But even if Kuzan retires, he is still inextricably linked to their Marine.
As for outside the Marine, Kizaru can do some other professions as long as he retires.
Actually, it's fine if it's a gang. There are too many gangs in this sea and it's not illegal. If the old man wants to be a gang, he will be a big shot if he takes off his clothes and becomes a Marine big shot if he puts on his clothes.
But this thing is embarrassing.
How can a Marine go to the mafia? Isn't this just embarrassing the Marine?
Their Marines put it nicely but put it badly…
What's the difference between these people and a Yakuza boss? The biggest Yakuza boss is now sitting in the position of Marshal.
"That's it, become a general… I'll go to my office and talk about it later." Kuro stood up with a tired face and prepared to walk out.
"Well, I will give you some information later. Polusalino, what other places do you have to hand over? Tell Kuro yourself." Crane nodded and said.
"Oh, I don't have anything to hand over. It's basically all done by Kuro." Kizaru smiled and said to Kuro, "Is my office not good?"
"Cut it out! I'm not like you. Your office is too poor. I want to be more luxurious. And I don't like that sign. I'm the representative of 'Safe Justice', not 'Ambiguous Justice'!" Kuro said.
As for the handover…
It seems that there is really nothing to hand over.
What are the powers of a general?
That's basically very big, and he doesn't even have to be responsible to the Marshal.
Marine Fleet Admiral is also known as Marine Admiral, but in fact, the difference between him and Marine is half a level. They are both directly facing the World Government. Marine Admiral is also known as Marine "Governor". He does not need to report anything to his superiors, even the Demon Slayer Order.
However, Kuro could also use the Demon Slayer Token as he pleased when he was a Vice-Admiral. There was no need to report it because the old man was in charge of it.
The only difference now is that there are no middlemen to earn the difference?
And he was going to face Tenryubito.
"Ah… it's nothing."
After leaving the Marshal's office, Kuro exhaled smoke and sighed heavily.
From today onwards, he will officially become a general and live the life of a general.
Move your 'Safe Justice' sign to the new office in Headquarters and then sleep there every day like Kuzan?
He was still cutting his nails like the old man.
If that's the case, it's actually not bad. It would be more comfortable if I don't face Tenryubito directly.
But this chaotic era is definitely not as easy as a few years ago…
