BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419
“It’s time for you to go.” Sengoku said to Kuro who was staying in the office: “We will report to you who the remaining subordinates choose.”
“I think I’m seriously injured, really.” Kuro was unusually sincere.
However, the two old guys looked straight at Kuro as if they did not hear him.
Kuro sighed. “Kaz, just Kaz. He and his direct subordinates are stationed in West Blue. The others are coming with me.”
This was the result of his choice.
It was impossible for Leda to stay. Firstly, he was worried that she would eat up this great situation. Secondly, Leda was unwilling.
Crowe… He had to take the blame from time to time, and it was impossible to put it in when he was used to it.
The only one he could let go of was Kaz.
If this guy is stationed in West Blue, with the current peaceful environment of Pegasus Island, there is basically no chance for him to perform.
He stayed in the West Blue, and Kuro also got rid of a lifelong enemy, so let him stay in this place with his lackeys.
As for the others, they were brought by Kuro and drove the Battleship to Sabaody Archipelago.
Of course, before that, he had to go back to Headquarters to do a promotion ceremony.
In addition, Akainu also had something to tell him.
Marin Vando.
Because of the gradual relocation of Headquarters, the number of Marines in Marin Vando has decreased a lot. Most of the Marines have been moved to G-1 Headquarters in New World under the leadership of Vice-Admiral.
However, due to government affairs, Akainu and Kizaru are still here.
When Kuro came, he went to Kizaru’s office first.
“Oh, Kuro, you’re here.”
Kizaru was still cutting his nails. When he saw Kuro coming in with a gloomy face, he put down his nail scissors and asked curiously, “Who made you angry?”
Kuro rolled his eyes and pulled out a chair and sat down unceremoniously. He crossed his legs without any image. “What else can there be? I was doing well on Pegasus Island. Why did you let me come back and promoted me? Rear Admiral? Ha…”
“So there is resentment…”
Kizaru nodded. “It can’t be helped. Marine’s objection to the World Government’s decision doesn’t mean much. Besides, you are my subordinate. I’m afraid it will be a little difficult for you to be promoted.”
Of course he was resentful.
He was indulging in a beautiful dream of safety and comfort without promotion when he was suddenly woken up by a newspaper. Anyone would be angry about this.
If the King of the Four Kingdoms had not announced it, his dream would have really succeeded.
Kizaru chuckled and said, “But, well done. You killed Ledfield, which boosted Marine’s morale.”
What the hell are you talking about!
“Admiral, I can make a big sauce with onions.”
“I can’t talk to you.”
Kuro waved his hand and said, “Speaking of which, old man, why haven’t you moved yet? Aren’t you going to move the headquarters?”
“Oh, I was waiting for you to come. Otherwise, we won’t be able to see each other for a long time. After seeing you, I will leave tomorrow and go to the new headquarters to be stationed,” Kizaru said.
Who wants to see you?
Kuro pursed his lips. How many times had he come to the headquarters? Nothing good ever happened.
If he hadn’t come to Headquarters last time, he wouldn’t have gone to North Blue. If he hadn’t gone to North Blue, he wouldn’t have met Ledfield. If he hadn’t met that old ghost, he wouldn’t have been promoted.
“Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go find Marshal Akainu first.” Kuro stood up and prepared to leave.
“Wait a minute, Kuro.”
Kizaru called out to him and said, “Kamido Maru has officially joined the Marine. I originally chose him as the base commander of Sabaody (Shiba) Land, but if you come, he will be with you.”
“Oh? Vegapunk let him out?” Kuro was surprised.
“Yes, because the weapon production is on the right track and we need to test it out. Sabaody Archipelago is a good place.”
“Okay, let him come here directly.”
Kuro waved his hand and left Kizaru’s office.
“Oh~”
Kizaru looked at his back and shook his head. “There is resentment. The World Government has done this, but it is very bad…”
… .
Akainu’s office.
Having taken Sengoku’s place, he naturally entered Sengoku’s office, and the plaque on the office changed from ‘Justice Under the King’ to ‘Absolute Justice’.
Perhaps it was because the sun was on the back side, the light in the office was very dim, and the face sitting inside could not be seen clearly, only the lit cigar spark.
Only when the figure looked up did Kuro see the face that had begun to grow whiskers.
“Oh… you’re here, Kuro.”
As Akainu spoke, the scars on his face and neck were faintly distorted.
After fighting with Kuzan, his injuries were not light.
“Marshal Akainu.”
Kuro stood in the room and saluted him.
Akainu smiled and threw him a cigar. “Try it. My taste is not quite the same as Borusalino’s. You may like it.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Kuro took the cigar, pulled out a chair, sat down, and lit it.
In the mouth of the smoke, Kuro frowned slightly. This smoke… is a little spicy, but after the spicy, you can also taste a little sweetness.
Just like Akainu.
“Not bad.” Kuro bit his cigar and leaned back naturally. “Speaking of which, why did you want to see me?”
“Just entrusted you with something,” Akainu said. “Although you are only a Rear Admiral now, don’t forget Marine’s honor.”
“Huh?”
Kuro tilted his head in confusion.
‘What do you mean?’
“Originally, with your achievements, in the current situation where the position of Admiral is lacking, you can be promoted directly. However, you must have heard that the World Government has its own considerations…”
When Akainu said this, he could not help but clench his fists. The fiery red color covered his gloves and a burnt smell rose from the table.
“Don’t be discouraged when you go to Sabaody. There will be room for you to play there.”
Akainu smiled at him. “Anyway, you are promoted, Lucilu Kuro.”
This old guy …
Kuro looked at him as if he knew Akainu again.
Has he changed?
How could such a strong person say such gentle words?
Although these words are not gentle in the eyes of others, they have to be specific.
Akainu, a person who would not turn back even if he knew it was wrong, could say such things…
The position of Marshal seems to be very difficult.
“I understand, Marshal Akainu.”
Kuro nodded and said, “I will work hard.”
Akainu nodded and said, “Well, in addition to Sabaody’s base, you have direct command of Marin Vando. This is Headquarters’ compensation to you. Go and play to your heart’s content. I will leave the first half of the Grand Line to you!”
