Chapter 417
If You’re Not a Marine, Are You Going to Farm?
Just as Kuro was fretting there.
Mary Joa.
This is the place where the tenryubito lives on the Red Earth, and here, the largest golden palace is called Pangu City.
And in one of the rooms in the palace, which is called ‘Between Power’, is the place where the highest ruler of the World Government, the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars), often meets.
“I disagree!”
At this moment, in the room, Akainu, who had changed into a white formal suit and was wearing a red shirt with a big collar and loose clothes, stood upright and said to the five old men standing or sitting in front of him:
“Luciru Kuro is a Marine with a lot of honor. Just a complaint from the North Blue family wants to suppress his promotion. It is really unreasonable! I will not take a step back in defeating Ledfield!”
“Enough, Sakasugi.”
Among the old men, the tall and thin long-bearded old man said lightly, “The Vinsmoke family is on good terms with Tenryubito. Many of his replicators have been bought by Tenryubito. Now, not only because of that family, but Tenryubito has also come to make trouble for us.”
“Tenryubito can do whatever he wants to Marines!” The blue veins on Akainu’s forehead were exposed. “I think the five of you have become Tenryubito’s puppets!”
“Watch your words, Sakasugi!”
The old man with glasses and a knife said coldly, “Your Marine is only an external organization of the World Government. When can you intervene in the affairs of the World Government?”
“Cut the crap! I don’t agree!”
Akainu bit his cigar and looked up and glared. “Luciru Kuro has always wanted to be promoted. Now that that bastard Kuzan has left and this old man has been promoted to Marshal, the Marine should have brought up the Admiral’s schedule. Luciru Kuro killed Ledfield and although he doesn’t admit it, his achievement of killing Golden Lion is also unquestionable. With such strength, he can totally become a Admiral!”
“No.”
The old man with a map on his head crossed his hands and said lightly, “We have heard about that Lucilu Kuro. He has indeed done a good job this time, but we have to pay attention to the impact. The impact of that [North Blue Vinsmoke’s Four Slayers] photo is too great. Vinsmoke has cooperated with us. For this, we have to have a choice.”
“That’s right.”
The red-skinned old man said, “That man, let’s suppress the matter of him becoming a general. I remember that he is the direct subordinate of Polusalino. Although Polusalino is a good person, if we are on the same side, it is better to have less trouble in this aspect. When that old monkey retires, that man can take over.”
“Then what do you think we should do with the vacant Admiral position!” Akainu said angrily.
“Don’t Momousagi and Tokikake are substitutes? If necessary, they can replace them.” The curly-haired old man said.
“No… that’s a special case. It’s not time to use a substitute yet.” The long-bearded old man shook his head and thought for a while, “Sakaski, do you have any ideas?”
Akainu said loudly, “The best way is, of course, for Lucilu Kuro to replace a general, and then we can recruit righteous people from all over the world to join the Marine. Now is the time for us to make up our mind. Let the pirates on the sea see our determination to punish pirates. As long as they are willing to join the Marine and are not pirates, we can accept them. For this, we can even make an exception and promote them, and we don’t have to abide by the rules!”
“That’s a good idea, but forget about Luciru Kuro, his words… can’t be placed in West Blue for the time being, there are too many complaints.”
The old man with glasses thought for a moment and said, “How about this, you will be promoted to Rear Admiral and transferred to Sabaody. Don’t you want to move the headquarters? Marin Van Do’s supervision will be greatly reduced. At the same time, Sabaody is a place where you can directly go to Mariejois and you must have a strong Marine to guard it. If he comes here, you can put him under your eyes and not let him continue to do things outside.”
The curly-haired old man nodded. “I agree. Let the storm pass first. Marine has too many complaints and it will affect the reputation of our World Government.”
“Okay, Sakasugi, let’s do it your way,” the red-skinned old man said to Sakasugi.
“How can it be fixed!”
Akainu pursed his lips and looked angry as he clenched his fists. In the end, he only said one sentence and turned to leave.
After leaving the office, he couldn’t help but look at the sky and curse, “Kouzan, you bastard, because you quit, things are very troublesome now. Where is your justice!”
Not being a Marshal does not know the bitterness of a Marshal.
Compared to the Admiral, the Marshal has too many things to deal with. Sometimes, it is really not something that can be dealt with by killing a thousand people by mistake and not letting go of three hundred people.
Being a Marshal might be a gentler way of dealing with things…
Akainu clenched his fists. The cigar smoke obscured his expression, making his face unreadable.
… .
Three days later.
West Blue.
Pegasus Island.
“Kuro, let’s go out for dinner.”
In the office, Lida was leaning on the desk, her small body was raised and her little butt was swaying. She was smiling and talking to the retard who was sitting on the chair in front of her, as if she had lost her mind and only knew how to talk.
Kuro’s eyes had completely become dead fish eyes. He glanced at Lida tiredly and waved his hand weakly. “Don’t bother me, let me enjoy this last peace.”
The sages once said that time will only slow down when there is no life left in the world.
Where would you spend if you only had three days?
There are many versions of this.
In his previous life, Kuro, who was basically a slacker, might say, “I will be in the classroom because in the classroom, every second is like a year.”
Similarly, only in this silent office can he feel the slowness of time and not so fast.
In this way, the despair he could withstand would come slower.
Because there was really no other way.
The news spread like wildfire.
Kuro, who had gone out to confirm the spread of the news, could basically find that anyone on the island could talk about his killing of Ledfield.
Even Crowe, no, that idiot is useless.
Anyway, Kuro could not think of any good ideas himself.
Now, if you want to be deliberately demoted, there will be a scandal, and a scandal… Basically, you can only deliberately collude with a certain big pirate and then protect him and be demoted.
But those who can reach that kind of fame, Kuro either can’t beat them or he will kill them.
After all, one has to have a conscience.
Even if he really became a general, he would not be able to do this.
However, other than that, there was really no other way.
Other than slumping here like a salted fish, what else can he do…
Resignation?
‘Don’t be ridiculous.’
If you are not a Marine, are you going to farm?
Is he a man who wants to become a farming king?
