Chapter 1106: The First Call of the Last Admiral
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For something like setting up an orphanage in the Marine, Kuro, as a general now, is naturally qualified to decide. Power and proxy power are two different things. In the past, Kuro relied on the old man, but if he really wants to do something, he still has to tell the old man.
But if he occupies this position, he has the corresponding power. If he doesn’t do it, someone will always do it for him.
Once he is done by others, he will not be respected as a general and will be looked down upon by others, and others will not take his words seriously. He does not represent himself now, and there are thousands of Marines who live with him under the same faction. Once the authority is damaged, the authority of the entire faction will be damaged.
This is also one of the reasons why Kuro doesn’t want to be a general, because his every move really doesn’t belong to him anymore.
However, only name and device cannot be lent to others. Kuro understood this principle very well.
If he has the power, he must use it and show his existence. This is what he has to do in his position.
As for what he wanted to do in private, it didn’t matter. He could learn to drink tea and cut his nails like the old man, or he could learn to sleep and ride a bicycle around the world like Kuzan. Apart from making decisions, he was quite free.
Admiral is rarely deployed unless it is a special and important moment, but this kind of moment is too rare. Most of them sit in the office, and the old man and Kuzan gradually become lazy. In this way, it is actually not bad to be a Admiral.
The new Headquarters is definitely absolutely safe now. He just needs to stay in the Headquarters and move his mouth for no reason. With Crowe handling the documents for him and so many people from different factions working for him, what he says has to be done by the entire Marine. Thinking about it, it doesn’t seem bad.
Looking at Crowe lowering his head to deal with the documents, Kuro touched his chin and thought, “I’ll get some industries and put them behind the Headquarters. I feel that there are too few entertainment industries in the Headquarters now. It’s convenient for everyone and for me. In that case, I can have fun in the Headquarters.”
He must have a comfortable environment. Since he wants to continue looking forward to it, he can also transform the headquarters a little.
In this regard, the old man and Kuzan are too bad. Their entertainment methods are worlds apart from his.
What’s the point of riding a bicycle on the sea? Even if he doesn’t use a bicycle, he can ride something in the headquarters.
“Kuro!”
Outside the door, something white broke in. After that, it sat on another sofa like a white whirlwind.
The little white thing weighed it on the sofa, looked around, and said, “Hey! This is the Admiral’s office, there doesn’t seem to be any difference.”
Kuro rolled his eyes. “Please, I’m a general now. You don’t even want to call me Dad… General, can you give me some face!”
“Huh?”
Leda turned her head. “What are you talking about? By the way, you have to eat. I found that there are a few new chefs in the Headquarters canteen. They make good noodles and seafood.”
“No!” Kuro said angrily, “You eat every day! You are a Vice-Admiral now. If you have nothing to do, go to the sea to increase your reputation!”
“Ah? But it’s so troublesome to run. There hasn’t been any major events recently. Shichibukai has strangled a large number of pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.” Leda said.
“That’s because I’m wise and powerful!” Kuro said proudly, “Those dog-eat-dogs, if we don’t use them, then we’ll have raised them for nothing. Look, with a slight change of the rules, they have to fight for me, which greatly reduces our workload…”
“Rawr …”
As soon as he finished speaking, Den Den Mushi rang.
Kuro took it and said, “Moximose, this is Kim.”
This is the first Den Den Mushi to ring in the office of the Admiral since Kuro was promoted.
He was too convenient. After all, he had just been promoted to Admiral and did not consider one thing, which was that the Den Den Mushi that could enter the Admiral’s office was not ordinary news…
“Admiral, I am Lieutenant Colonel Lefay under Colonel Kuro! Something big! Something big!!”
Den Den Mushi was shouting, and faintly, Kuro could hear the shouting and shelling from Den Den Mushi.
But that was not his focus.
“Kuro … Colonel?”
Kuro raised his eyebrows and looked at Crowe. “We have someone called Kuro here?”
“Kuro?”
Crowe suddenly stood up. “How is that possible! Who dares to be called Kuro, how can he be called Kuro! I will immediately let him change his name!”
“Well…”
Den Den Mushi said weakly: “It’s Colonel Basil Kuro.”
Oh, Sazel…
Crowe sat down again, slightly embarrassed.
He had forgotten it himself.
It had been a while since he had looked for Basil to vent his anger and train him. Recently, he had been used to calling him Basil and had forgotten that his name was also Kuro.
“What big thing?” Kuro asked curiously, “You can contact me?”
“Yes, it’s Tenryubito!” The other side said while panting.
Tenryubito?
Kuro was stunned. “What’s wrong with Tenryubito? Where is Sazil now, Sabaody? Didn’t I tell them to come out less? No matter what it is, put it in a controllable range first. When I go over, you can’t solve it.”
“No, no, it’s, it’s, it’s Tenryubito… Ah!!”
**TIP**
Before he could finish his sentence, Den Den Mushi let out a scream and suddenly fell silent.
“Huh? Moximus?”
Kuro held the microphone and said a few more words. He smacked his lips and put the microphone in and said, “What is it? What happened to Tenryubito? Where is Basil now?”
As Sazel’s direct superior, Crowe raised his head and thought for a moment and said, “He seems to have gone to patrol the first half of the ship. He is now a colonel and has a certain degree of autonomy. I don’t know much about it. It is related to Tenryubito. Maybe he came to Sabaody Land and encountered an unsolvable problem.”
Speaking of this, Crowe was a little unhappy. Tenryubito…
When they were stationed in Sabaody Archipelago in the past, they suffered a lot for the matter of Tenryubito. At that time, when they rescued the slaves who were enslaved by the nobles, Crowe’s heart really belonged to the Marine. How long has it been since it stopped, and Tenryubito has started to be restless again?
But for something like this, only Mr. Kuro is suitable to deal with those tenryubito. He has experience, and people like us are not qualified to deal with tenryubito.
Crowe is still a little afraid of Tenryubito. After all, he has a reputation. This is also what he admires about Kuro. Mr. Kuro never seems to be afraid of Tenryubito. His eyes seem to be no different from looking at others. Whether he looks at Tom, Dick, or Harry, he looks at him equally.
Only in the face of the strong will Mr. Kuro’s demeanor change.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”
The Den Den Mushi rang again.
Kuro picked it up again and said, “Moximossi, I already said that I will be in Sabaody Land soon, why are you shouting!”
“Kuro, I am Sakasugi!”
Den Den Mushi turned into a domineering figure with a cigar in his mouth and said, “Why are you going to Sabaody Archipelago? Go to the Dominican Kingdom now. Tenryubito was attacked there and the Demon Slayer Order is launched! That archipelago must be destroyed indiscriminately!”
As soon as these words came out, Kuro’s eyes widened.
“Ah?!”
