“This is our decision, just accept it. As for the misunderstanding, there is no need to care. Our orders are the highest.”
The curly-haired old man said.
“I don’t agree!”
Kuro repeated, “If you do this, something will happen! Have you ever thought that others will be disappointed? Oh, just because you made a mistake, you want to remove others from their positions. They have made so many contributions. As a Marshal, even if you don’t have any contributions, you have to work hard. If you do this, who will dare to do anything in the future? No one will make a mistake.”
“Who cares about the Commander-in-Chief of the entire army? Do you think I don’t know what kind of nature that is!”
The World Government’s General Commander-in-Chief, as the name suggests, is in charge of the entire army on the surface, but in fact, it’s useless. Sengoku just told him when he resigned.
It seemed that he was in charge of everything, but in fact, he could not control anything.
The entire army is commander-in-chief, but where did the World Government get the entire army from? What else is there besides Marine?
Soldiers of the World Government itself? Or is there something called the Air Force?
There is nothing. In name, only Marine can manage it, but as for Marine, Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) may not be able to manage it. An Army Commander-in-Chief can’t manage anything and is nothing. An empty title is specially set up for Marine.
Kuro knew a little bit of news. At that time, because Kong had not retired, Sengoku and Kong were also in the same batch, so Sengoku was not able to hold this position. But if Kong retires, this position should be chosen from Sengoku and Garp.
Sengoku is a Marshal. After retiring, it will basically be this position. Garp is a Marine Hero. In order to appease Marines, he will also be promoted to this position.
However, these two have retired and are semi-retired. They have positions in the Marine Corps and it is impossible for them to be pulled up again. If Sakasugi is not in trouble, this is possible, but now that Sakasugi is in trouble, this position is given to Sakasugi.
This is just a position arranged by the World Government to keep these retired Marshals occupied or those Marines who have made great contributions are less restless.
I can’t do anything except retire!
Wait …
Retirement?
Kuro raised his eyebrows. “Well, I mean, is it possible that I can sit in the position of the commander-in-chief of the entire army?”
This is a good location!
Based on his function, he really couldn’t do anything. Other than dealing with some useless documents that others had decided on every day, he could only retire there, in an empty big room, and do nothing every day.
Except for the fact that he was working here at Mariejois, Kuro didn’t like it much.
More money, less trouble. No, things don’t exist at all.
He also wanted to do a position like this.
“You?”
The Gorōsei were a little surprised and looked at each other.
The old man with the knife said, “It’s still early for you to be a Marshal.”
“No, what I mean is, if I give up the position of general, can’t I directly be the commander-in-chief of the entire army?” Kuro was somewhat whimsical, his expression was like a dream.
But obviously, this is definitely not possible.
“Kuro, don’t betray our trust in you. We are not targeting Sakasugi, nor are we targeting Marine. Although we have some gaps with him, according to the facts, the signatories are now very dissatisfied with Marine’s current actions. They also want to target Marine in this World Conference because dealing with pirates has caused their country to be harassed by the Revolutionary Army and it has become chaotic.”
“If we follow the rules of the other countries, Sakasugi will definitely retreat. Marines can’t even deal with pirates, but turn around and solve the current problem. We took Marine’s battle into consideration and decided to let you be the Marshal and quickly solve this war.”
“Kuro, we trust you very much, and those participating countries also trust you very much. Don’t let us down.”
This is true. They trust each other, and the participating countries also trust each other. This is the power of reputation and prestige.
Of all the Marines, Karp was the most trusted before Kuro, which is why they didn’t respond after his son and his grandson made such a big fuss.
In addition to the Valley of God incident, the key is that Karp is trusted by these countries, which is the important reason.
As for Kong and Sengoku in the past, his reputation was not as great as Garp.
Until Kuro appeared out of nowhere.
From the past, he had the attitude of killing all pirates, but he was different from Sakasugi. He would not do things indiscriminately and did things with a sense of propriety, making those countries think that he was a capable person.
From then on, his reputation gradually entered the eyes of these kings.
It’s the same for killing those old pirates. They will also do their best to protect the people from harm. Although they participated in the change of king and even changed the King of Conquest who made the surrounding countries suffer, that matter was personally ordered by their World Government. They will not take the blame for him and will not make the first half of the country have a bad impression of him.
Until those Yonkō (Four Emperors) were dealt with, Kuro’s reputation was already very big. Before the Great Age of Pirates started by Roger, the Sea Emperor had already existed, but now it was actually ended by Kuro.
Whether it was reputation or strength, Kuro was deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
Compared to other Marines …
Empty Year also lost to Red Earl, but this guy has been killed by Kuro.
Sengoku’s greatest achievement at present is killing Whitebeard, but that is only Yonkō (Four Emperors) and he has paid a lot of price, but Kuro killed the remaining Yonkō (Four Emperors). Not only did he not pay the price, but he also picked up a Country of Peace and the surrender of Big Mom’s son Katakuri to the World Government.
Garp only has one Valley of God. As for capturing Roger… The world is not clear about the situation, how can they not know the situation?
For generations of Marines, there has never been a Marine who has been as trusted by the world as Kuro. In terms of merits, he is the strongest.
Those participating countries gave up this World Conference on Marines because of Kuro becoming a Marshal.
It didn’t matter what happened to the newspaper photos.
What they have to pay attention to now is the movements of the World Conference, and they can’t let Marines lose their prestige because of this.
Sakasugi has been defeated and cannot lose its prestige.
“No room for discussion?” Kuro’s face fell when he saw Gorōsei’s firm attitude.
“Kuro, you have to know that the origin of that newspaper is that Sakasugi has indeed failed. He lost Shirahoshi, and we don’t need to say much about what will happen if Poseidon falls into the hands of pirates. So we ask you to solve this matter as soon as possible after you take office and take back Shirahoshi before it causes panic in the world!” The map elder said.
