The cruelest thing in the world is not the absence of hope, but having hope that is shattered and turned into disappointment. That would be despair - Rusilu Cullo.
Therefore, being a philosopher is impossible unless it is extremely painful.
Kuro is very miserable now.
The bitter bile is not as bitter as his.
Cass again!
It's him again!
It’s him every time!!
On the sea, who is Kuro afraid of? Even Kaido. He dares to fight for a few rounds. Although it is best not to fight if he can, but if Kuro really encounters something, will he be afraid?
can you?
can you?!!
But the only thing he fears is not his enemies, but the ruthless beatings from his own people.
But that person was still his subordinate. In principle, he actually did not do anything harmful to him, and in the eyes of others, this matter was right and couldn't be more right.
Ever since he faced six million lizardmen in the East China Sea, he felt that his world had been turned upside down.
Cullo took out the cigar tremblingly, his hand holding the lighter was shaking, and it took him a long time to light it for himself.
"Anyway, let's smoke a cigar and calm down. You can't calm down, you bastard!"
Kuro wanted to slap himself twice. He leaned back on the chair weakly, biting his cigar, and the smoke drifted up his face. His eyes seemed to have been ruined by someone, and they were dull and dull.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have killed that six million lizard man pirate. If I didn't kill him, I wouldn't be promoted. If I didn't be promoted, I wouldn't go to the headquarters. If I didn't go to the headquarters,
How could I have such a series of bad things?”
The ten years in the East China Sea, although he was a little cautious, were also the days when Clow was most at ease. He had never openly defeated more than three million pirates.
There were even one or two million pirates who worked together with numerous navy forces to fight and win, hiding among the crowds and remaining inconspicuous.
But since that lizard man, everything has changed.
He shouldn't have taken that stab at that time!
Seeing Kuro's dead look, Lida thought for a moment and said, "Clo, do you want me to chew some rice to make you wine?"
"Shut up Lida! The Qing Dynasty is over long ago, don't say such old words!" Kuro glared over, his eyes almost killing people.
Lida shrugged, poured another plate of steak into her mouth, and continued eating her meal.
"Calm down, I have to calm down, I still have a chance"
Clow rubbed his head randomly, "It's just a commodore. Is a commodore a general? No, it's just a reserve general, just like from a commander to an ensign. The transitional warrant officer in the middle is to help an ordinary naval soldier gradually adapt to the role of command.
Only then can he be as good as a second lieutenant."
"The same is true for the promotion of colonel. There is also a transition process for brigadier general, and brigadier general is not a general. In addition, the Warring States period only asked me to return to the headquarters to receive honors. I can still stay in Xihai, as long as I am not a serious major general.
That’s fine.”
None of the naval generals are stationed in the Four Seas branch, except for patrols. The general level is either in the branch of the Grand Line, or he leads troops to perform missions abroad. How can he be the base commander in the Four Seas branch? Military rank does not allow it.
But the Brigadier can.
"So my chance, my chance Clo!!!"
Kuro thought hard for a long time. After much deliberation, he came up with nothing but no meritorious service, but he lacked a specific action plan, so he shouted out the window.
"Mr. Crowe, please try the freshly roasted meat."
In the streets of the town, a smiling boss wrapped the barbecue in oil paper and handed it to Crowe.
Crowe, who had enjoyed being greeted by others for several days, was still quarreling with the townspeople outside, showing off his aura of being in a relationship between soldiers and civilians. He smiled and was about to take it with both hands when suddenly his ears moved and his face changed.
.
"Save it for next time."
With that said, Crowe flashed and disappeared from the boss's sight.
Used 'shaving'.
Very quickly, very quickly, Crowe pushed open the door of the office on the upper floor of the base.
"Mr. Clow, you called me?"
After Crowe said this, his heart skipped a beat because he saw Crowe's gloomy face, as if he were mourning for a concubine.
"Clo."
Kuro exhaled the smoke, put his hands on his chin, and said seriously to him: "You know, I have always treated you as a tool, not as a think tank. No matter what problem I encounter, you will do your best.
Come up with solutions.”
Hearing this, Chloe straightened up, and a trace of pride appeared on her face.
It's a pity that Cass is not here, otherwise he would really have to listen to Mr. Clow's praise.
Humph, Cass is so smart and Lida is so clueless. Only I, Chloe, am qualified to laugh.
He slowly stretched out his hand, smoothed his hair, and pushed his slicked back hair further back. Then he pushed up his glasses and said confidently: "Mr. Clow, have you encountered any problems?"
Kuro picked up the cigar, dusted off the ashes, and said, "That's it. Marshal Warring States just called me and asked me what happened last time. How can I know what happened? Then he told me in detail
I said that."
"When I heard it, oh, it turned out to be the incident in the Insect Kingdom last time."
"He lied to me at first, saying that I was demoted. When I heard it, I thought it was great and I was very happy. Then he told me that it was a lie. I was not demoted. I was careless and unprepared.
Not only did I not surrender, but I was promoted because the Insect Kingdom and Cass defeated a revolutionary army cadre in the Twin Horse Kingdom."
"Is it okay for a naval marshal of that age to lie to me, a young man in his twenties? This is not good!"
Kuro blew out the smoke and said expressionlessly: "So, I am a brigadier general now."
"brigadier?"
Crowe was stunned and said happily: "Great, Mr. Crowe, you have finally been promoted. I always thought that you are at least a major general. Unfortunately, you are only a brigadier general, but it doesn't matter. The distance between a brigadier general and a major general is about only 1."
murderous look!
Before Crowe could finish his words, he suddenly felt his hair standing on end. When he took a look, he saw that Crowe's face was turning livid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The eyes are dangerous!
"...It will probably take a long time to leave." Krolian changed his tone.
As soon as these words came out, Kuro's eyes softened a lot.
He nodded and sighed: "I want you to come up with a solution now. Tell me how I can be demoted. I don't want to be demoted to captain, but to major. If it doesn't work, I won't be promoted. Now I haven't."
When I go back to confer honors, how can I get the higher ups to withdraw this order?"
"Withdraw the order?"
Crowe was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
You were obviously promoted, why did you withdraw the order?
If you get promoted, just get promoted. If you don't want to be promoted anymore, but now that you have been promoted, shouldn't you pursue the victory even more at this time?
He knew that Mr. Clow wanted to be safe, but the current environment was already very safe.
Moreover, the safer way is to become a general, cultivate your own power, and completely take root in the navy.
Although Mr. Kuro is directly subordinate to General Kizaru, it would be safer if he had his own faction.
However, as Clow's think tank, he must follow his ideas.
"How about covering up a pirate to join the navy? Like Finn Bodi, he will be demoted." Crowe asked.
It was because of this that his former subordinates entered the navy, and the former captain of the headquarters, Finn Bodi, became a private third class in one fell swoop.
"You used to be a pirate! You were also a captain! Do you think something's wrong with me?" Kuro rolled his eyes.
Finn Bodi?
The two are not the same thing. They have no power and no one to protect them. How can they be the same?
Not to mention himself, Judiciary Island would not have the guts to deal with the old man based on his level of experience.
Besides, what kind of pirate should join the navy so that he can be demoted?
The criminal with a 400 million bounty on his head who keeps saying he wants to be the ‘Shanghai Pirate King’?
Kill the Shichibukai, force the World Government to hold its nose and admit it, and challenge the authority of the World Government.
They made a big fuss on Judiciary Island, took away Nicole Robin, a repeat criminal of the World Government, and allowed the Demon-Slaying Order to be purged on Judiciary Island, and challenged the authority of the World Government again.
Hooking up with the former Pirate King's deputy, he seems to have the idea to join forces with the former Pirate King's team, challenge the authority of the world government, and challenge the navy's bottom line.
Ding Zhan came out to cause trouble and almost overturned his car. This time he not only challenged the authority of the world government, challenged the bottom line of the navy, but also challenged him, Kuro!
Some time ago, he even blatantly went to Marineventor to ring the bell. For such a arrogant person, he wants to join the navy.
It's probably okay.
Kuro thought for a while, if that reckless kid wanted to join the navy, with Garp's connections, he might actually be able to do it.
Anyone who is regarded as a thorn in the side of the World Government is probably fine. Although his energy is not as high as Garp's, but the old man is on top, even if the effect is half, he probably won't be able to find a pirate who can demote him.
The kind who is really willing to join the navy and change his evil ways.
Moreover, if he had been really vicious, he would have been drowned long ago.
He wants to be safe, but he has to be conscientious. He can't do things without conscience.
