There was a violent earthquake in Kuro's pupils, and he stood up straight away, shouting: "Old man, why did you just retreat?! You shouldn't have, you are in your prime?!"
"Oh~ This is the decision from above. I have been feeling low on energy recently." Kizaru said with a smile.
"impossible!"
Kuro categorically denied, "This is absolutely impossible. How could the higher-ups let you go?! I absolutely don't believe it!"
"Well, it's not a matter of belief or not, it's just that it's stipulated above. I've already decided to retire. As for who will take over, Kuro, you have to be prepared." Kizaru said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Kuro's head was a little numb. He waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about whether you retreat or not. I shouldn't take this position now. There are so many qualified people. Look at Mr. Stoloberg.
Brother, I think he is suitable."
Being a general is absolutely not possible!
"I can't do it, Kuro, you are the most qualified." Stoloberg refused directly.
"Then I can't do it. If you really can't, you can choose. Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it." Kuro pursed his lips.
He originally wanted to say that there were two general candidates, but he quickly realized that he was talking about the successor of the Kizaru faction. How could outsiders intervene in this faction?
Although Brother Jiaji said he was quite compatible with them, he was not from his own faction after all.
But what is a bit confusing now is that although the positions of successor and general do not conflict, it does not mean that they cannot be united together, because Kuro knows very well that he is also a candidate for general, once the old man comes down.
"Is there no other way?" Kuro still refused to give up.
Kizaru nodded with a smile: "No more, Kuro."
"Can't you give me a chance?" Kuro gritted his teeth.
"What chance?" Kizaru asked.
"I don't want to be a general."
"You can't talk to me about this, you have to talk to the superiors."
"I just want to be a good lieutenant general." Kuro said solemnly, "I just want to be a good lieutenant general."
"Well, I can't make a choice."
Kizaru stretched out his hand with a smile, pressed Qrow's shoulders, and pushed him back into the seat.
"Anyway, the higher ups have decided to let me step down, and you will be the only one to take over."
"I don't accept it!"
Culuo frowned and shouted: "Old man, you have made great contributions to the government and shed blood for the navy. How can you just retreat? You want to see the Five Old Stars, you want to see the Five Old Stars!"
"I have already met you and recommended you, don't worry."
After forcing Kuro to his seat, Kizaru patted him on the shoulder again: "Anyway, everything is left to you now."
Qrow opened his eyes and looked at him for a long time, then said blankly: "So, you have retreated, and because of this, you are not wearing the cloak?"
Kizaru smiled: "Well, I will have a new cloak. The previous cloak no longer fits. Now, I will leave it to you to wear it."
"I"
Kuro looked into Kizaru's eyes, then turned his head to look at the expectant people, opened his mouth, but was speechless.
"I'll go out first. It's not suitable to stay here now."
Kizaru said again, shrugged and left the venue.
Kuro, on the other hand, stared blankly at the people at the venue, his head in a state of confusion.
This day finally came.
Kuro knows that as a general candidate, once the old man retires, he will definitely take over. Although he does not want to take over, he can think of it with his knees. As the old tradition of having the strongest faction among the three general candidates, it is still
If the old man retires personally, then this general will definitely be him.
The power of the faction will not allow anyone else to occupy this position. After all, this is different from the position left by Aokiji's voluntary withdrawal and Akainu's promotion to marshal.
One is that the faction is almost disbanded, and the other is that it has developed to a higher level.
The old man's team, as an old navy, will not allow the last general position to be occupied by people recruited from the world. The Kizaru faction will not let others occupy this general position. Sakaski will also consider their
Faction.
In other words, from the day he took over the Kizaru Faction and turned the Monkey Faction into the Fish Faction, he also secured his position as general.
but
Why so fast!
You can't just wait more than ten years for the old man to be stable before he comes up. That's fine. When the time comes, he finds a suitable successor. If he stays here for a few years, he can use the excuse that he is getting old to retire smoothly.
Go down.
It's too fast now, he is not yet thirty years old, he is only twenty-seven!
The leader of the faction said that this was okay, but when he thought about the general, he felt blocked.
"I, I need to calm down."
Seeing so many people here, Kuro pursed his lips, waved his hands, then crossed his hands, covered his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "You guys go out first."
Stoloberg stood up first and walked outside.
The remaining generals also gradually dispersed and left.
"Brother?"
Zhan Momomaru saw that Kuro's expression was not right, so he walked over and asked, "Are you too excited? To be honest, I am too. The old man actually announced his retirement today. From now on, you will be a general."
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuro stood up and slapped Zhan Momomaru on the back of the head.
"General! I will make you general! I will make you general! Is it so easy to be a general? Will it be me?! Don't be too complacent Zhan Momomaru!"
Kuro cursed a few times and felt a little breathless. He covered his chest and took a few deep breaths. He tremblingly took out a cigar and lit it.
Zhan Momomaru stood aside aggrievedly, covering the back of his head, not quite understanding how he had offended Kuro.
He suddenly thought of something and said: "Brother, there is no need to worry. Lieutenant General Cha Dou and Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit cannot compete with you, and they will not compete with you. You must be a general."
"Yes! I know! That's how scary it is!" Kuro glared at Zhan Momowan, "Don't mention this!"
Kake and Gion can't compete with him. Kuro knows this. Firstly, the old man has retired from his position and there is a successor. Secondly, the characters of these two people will not compete with him. In other words, he
Becoming a general is a sure thing.
Even if he forced Kake and Gion to fight with him, they still wouldn't be able to fight.
Now he is not just one person. He bears the expectations of the entire faction. If he doesn't compete for the position of general, he will have to compete for it. Let alone no one competes with him. Even if someone does compete with him, he still has to compete for this position.
Can't let go!
This is the most fucked up thing!
His current situation is like applauding for love. He obviously wants to go on a little longer, a little longer, but due to time constraints, the whole faction is so comfortable that he can't control it at all, and he can't grasp it to this extent.
Then the energy can only be poured out.
I am not a government official. I was pushed by the province to come to Jinggangshan to attend meetings and study as an emerging youth. Don’t get me wrong, I will always be your most down-to-earth person.
