Chapter 1096: What Does Vice-Admiral Kuro Like?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Leda ate, it was like a stone filling the sea. It could never be filled.
Although Kuro drank too much last night, he could still hear the news. It was noisy downstairs. Leda ate five or six tables alone, and the speed of serving dishes was definitely not as fast as her eating speed.
He had no time to care about her last night, but now that he could, he naturally had to remind her.
“I’m not full. It’s rare for it to be so lively. If I don’t snatch people’s food, I feel that something is missing,” Leda said matter-of-factly.
“You have the nerve to say that. Do you think pirates are having a banquet? Be a little more serious. You are a lieutenant general after all, and you are about to become a general, a general…”
At this point, Kuro could not continue.
“General’s Nani?” Leda tilted her head.
“Don’t mention Admiral to me!”
Kuro spat out a mouthful of smoke fiercely. “Damn it, for some reason, I’m about to become a general. I can’t take this lying down!”
This is much better than before.
Leda complained in her heart.
In the past, this fellow would have already started to cause trouble and even she would be scolded. For example, she was scolded now. In the past, it was not a big problem for her to eat something. If someone used this to talk about her, Kuro would lose his temper.
But now that Kuro himself has a temper, Leda has long been accustomed to it.
But it was better than before. He was much less angry.
How should I put it… like a girl.
“Huh? Are you secretly scolding me?” Kuro stared at Leda suspiciously.
“No, why would I? You are so handsome.” Leda shook her head.
“Aiya, don’t say that. I hide very deeply. You can actually discover my true appearance. It’s worth it for me to be so good to you.” Kuro waved his hand and his teeth were about to bare.
Leda touched her forehead helplessly and suddenly thought of a saying: If others find a man handsome, he is really handsome.
If I discover how handsome I am, I will be a fool…
Kuro is a little retarded now.
“Ah… okay, continue to receive them. I’ll continue to sleep for a while. Call Crowe and ask him to receive them well.”
Kuro waved his hand and yawned. “I’ll sleep a little longer.”
“I know, I know. You only know how to order people around.”
Leda pouted and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Kuro raised his eyebrows. If he doesn’t order people around, why does he need so many subordinates? Is he just a pretty face?
… .
Not all the guests were there last night, but many people rushed back today.
Marines who received Kuro’s invitation, those who should move, those who should hand over, rushed back to headquarters one after another and then walked to the back of headquarters.
There are two big entrances to the back of the Headquarters. At this time, two people are standing at the entrance to receive them. One is Basil and the other is Fanny. They are watching people coming in from the door that belongs to them.
“Welcome, welcome!”
With a smile on his face, he greeted everyone who came.
This kind of thing is naturally not suitable for the Vice-Admiral to get involved in, so the ones responsible for receiving them are the colonels.
In a place like Headquarters where even colonels can be used as soldiers, colonels like them are not valuable.
“Oh, Colonel Basil, are you in charge of the reception?”
A Marine Captain who rushed back said in surprise, “I heard that it’s Admiral Kizaru’s 60th birthday, it’s actually going to take so long. It’s really heroic.”
“It’s more than that!”
Basil puffed out his chest and said proudly, “Not only the birthday celebration of Admiral Kizaru, but also my Vice-Admiral Kuro, no, he may be a Admiral in a few days. Haven’t you heard that Admiral Kizaru has retired and is going to step down from the position of Admiral. The one who will be in charge will be Admiral Kuro!”
As a fellow Kuro, Basil is honored!
His superior’s superior had become a general!
That is the highest combat power of Marine and the dream of every Marine.
“Admiral?!”
The Marine Captain was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Basil’s hand. “Are you serious?!”
“Of course, I never lie. Don’t you believe me?”
Basil looked the Marine Captain up and down and said, “Or do you not think Vice-Admiral Kuro can be a Admiral? That is Vice-Admiral Kuro, the Golden Lion! He is a candidate for a Admiral!”
“I didn’t say that. Don’t slander me. You know that I have always wanted to serve Vice-Admiral Kuro!” The Marine Captain suddenly became anxious.
He really wanted to serve Kuro.
Because he himself came from the World conscription. At that time, because of his strength, he was directly awarded the position of major. From the World conscription until now, it has only been a little more than a year. He also has some achievements and became a colonel. His speed can be said to be comparable to a rocket.
It has to be known that the promotion of an ordinary Marine in the Marine is actually very long. It is not that others do not have combat power. There is an old guy who can destroy a ship with a coin, but his position is not high.
In addition to the Marine promotion itself being very serious, the faction is also very important. If you can’t find a good relationship and your strength can’t be outstanding, you can only slowly endure.
They were promoted so quickly because they received the benefits of the World Conscription.
However, there is a drawback. They are not considered a traditional Marine. Within the Marine, they certainly have power, but the real core level does not bring them along.
So what if Fujitora and Green Bull are generals? No matter how high their status is, they are still the same.
If you want to enter the real Marine circle, you have to find an old backer, but those recruited by the world are marginal figures unless they are really outstanding and are absorbed by other old Marines.
In terms of the Marine Faction as a whole, Marshal Sakasugi’s qualification requirements are too high and very strict. It is said that Vice-Admiral Onigumo has the habit of killing his subordinates at will, which is not a good choice.
Although the original Aokiji remnants led by Momonga and Hakiyama are not bad, and there is even a trend of Vice-Admiral Smoker taking the lead, the factions recruited from the world are best in this direction because they have the lowest threshold, but this is not the Colonel’s first choice.
The best is actually the faction that Kuro is in. There is nothing much to do on a daily basis. He doesn’t fight for power or profit. He just lives a stable life as a Marine. He will be rewarded and punished for his work. It’s not too good.
“Then what do you mean?” Basil asked suspiciously.
“I’m going to prepare a gift. The gift I brought now is only for Admiral Kizaru’s birthday. There’s still one less. Don’t you need to prepare a gift for Lieutenant General Kuro’s promotion? Otherwise, why would he hold a banquet for seven days? He must be thinking of holding it together.”
Hearing this, Basil was stunned on the spot.
‘Gift?’
“You’re not going back without preparation, right?” The Marine Captain frowned.
“How is that possible!”
“Who am I? I am the direct subordinate of Vice-Admiral Kuro, how can I not know what you know? But, but… I am too busy. By the way, don’t you want to prepare a gift? Bring one for me. Don’t worry, I will introduce you. You are at the same level as me, you can definitely do it!”
“Really? Actually, there’s no need to introduce me. Colonel Basil, if you don’t mind, I can be your adjutant. There’s no problem with the gift, but you have to tell me what Lieutenant General Kuro likes.”
“I’m happy…”
Basil thought for a moment and said uncertainly, “Gold?”
