This matter was just pushed away by Crowe. As for the newspaper he had worked so hard for, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash.
Anyway, we can't let Mr. Clow know.
However, information spreads quickly, especially on prosperous islands like Pegasus Island, the 'island of singing, dancing and hot springs', which can attract many people.
The news they brought was of course spread to each other, including the newspaper that Cullo killed Redfield.
"Don't show off!"
In the port, Cass led the team to conduct an inspection. He grabbed the newspaper and carefully put it into his arms. He said to the businessman: "Mr. Clow has never been proud of such things.
Using this kind of thing to please Mr. Clow will only make him feel ashamed!"
"It's just a Redfield. Mr. Clow is a man who wants to become an admiral. He is just a remnant of the old era and has nothing to show off. Mr. Clow hates other people discussing such things, so he is not allowed to do so on this island.
For discussion, please rest assured that you have respect for Mr. Clow!"
Cass, who was deceived by Crowe, spontaneously investigated the island.
But for others, this matter is not only not offensive, but also praised.
He fought such a big pirate and still kept such a low profile. He is really a good navy!
With him on Pegasus Island, it must be the safest island in the West Sea.
Businessmen and tourists are very satisfied, and some are even considering settling here.
As for local residents, they are even more satisfied.
It's a good thing that Mr. Clow doesn't want people to know. If there are too many people, what if Mr. Clow is transferred away? Then wouldn't there be no one to protect them?
As indigenous people, they have experienced the pain of war and pirates, and they know that peace is hard-won.
Therefore, this matter has calmed down on Pegasus Island. Everyone is aware of it, and they also think that Qrow knows it himself.
…
"Ah, Mr. Kuro, let's try the latest sweet potatoes!"
The store owner, who has been promoted to a big sweet potato merchant, said to Kuro enthusiastically.
"Mr. Clow, this is newly brewed black tea. Hmm, would you like a cup?"
The bearded owner of a shemale shop who came from nowhere warmly entertained me. He said his surname was Nohara.
"Mr. Kuro!"
"Mr. Kuro!!"
“Something’s not right”
Back in the office, Kuro took a few breaths of cool air and smacked his lips, feeling a little confused.
"Why are these islanders so much more enthusiastic than before when we go out recently?"
"Isn't this normal? Mr. Clow, you are the patron saint of this island after all. I should respect you more."
Crowe secretly wiped the sweat from his head and said.
"Yeah?"
Kuro raised his eyebrows, took out a cigar, lit it, and blew out the smoke.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong. They used to be enthusiastic about me, but not as enthusiastic as they are now. They're too enthusiastic. I can't stand it. I have an indescribable feeling."
"But I don't know where the feeling comes from. It seems right, but it seems wrong."
Crowe rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Crowe sweating inexplicably, and asked: "Are you nervous?"
"No, I'm not nervous."
"Then why are you sweating so much?"
"Ah, maybe it's too hot."
"Um?"
Crowley narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Crowe for a while, then suddenly said something that shocked him, "I know!"
"What do you know?" Crowe took a step back in fright.
"You guys, you have to hide this kind of thing from me. Hey, I'm your boss!" Crow spit out smoke, and the smoke lingered on his face, making Crow's expression unclear.
"Mr. Clow, please listen to my explanation. I didn't intentionally hide this from you. The news is really too big for me to dare."
"Isn't it just a private phone call and receiving the news? What does it matter? Just don't let me read it. Remember, no one can ask me. If you ask me, I am busy, I am not here, I have something to do, and I went to take a shower.
"
Before Crowe finished speaking, Crowe said it directly.
"ah"
Crowe blinked, "Yes, I know, Mr. Crowe, I can't hide it from you."
"That's right, my witty little Kuro from the East China Sea is not called me for nothing." Kuro laughed proudly.
"After all, I'm not a devil. I can be willful because I have someone to protect me. As my adjutant, of course you have to take more blame and deal with related matters more. We can't lose touch with the headquarters. I understand it very well."
Crow pressed his hands a few times, signaling Crow to calm down, "I'm telling you, when doing things, you must stay calm. There is a saying that goes well. Those who have thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake are worthy of being a general. You
After all, he is also my think tank, so be a little calm."
"By the way, what big news did you just say, what are you afraid of?" he asked.
"Crow, Qrow!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Lida suddenly broke in and said excitedly: "It's been promoted, it's been promoted!"
These words made Kuro stunned and said in surprise: "What happened, a boy or a girl?"
"what"
Lida rolled her eyes and waved, and saw a group of people walking in from behind.
Cass, Thazel, Donald, Platycodon, and Fanny all came in wearing navy cloaks.
"I mean we got promoted!" Lida said excitedly.
Oops!
These words made Kuro almost jump out of his chair in shock and yelled: "Waterfak?!"
"Ah? What do you mean? Oh, in short, they are back."
Lida pointed at Donald, Kikyo and Fanny, "I also brought back the promotion order from the headquarters."
"Brigadier General Kuro, long time no see."
Donald, who had already put on his cape, saluted Kuro and said loudly: "I have returned from training at the headquarters, and after evaluation, I am already a lieutenant and can serve you better."
"Hehe, I am a second lieutenant."
Fanny was still wearing the satin black robe that outlined her perfect figure, but she also wore a cape, waving her hands and smiling at Kuro.
A group of people looked at Kikyo. The deaf person was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that she didn't need anyone to tell her again.
"I am a second lieutenant," she said.
Donald took a step forward, took out a stack of documents, handed them to Kuro's desk, and said: "This is because the headquarters considered the lack of officers at the Pegasus Island base and our excellent results, so we were promoted. In addition, we were promoted.
, there are also other people’s promotion orders.”
Kuro quickly picked it up and glanced at it quickly. The meaning above was probably considering that there were only third-class privates on Pegasus Island now, and then there were just a few of them, so Donald and the others were promoted.
Although those three thousand people entered the navy, they all started from the lowest level of third-class privates. After all, their minds were not fully mature yet, and independent merit and performance alone did not exist. Although they did not need the command of a superior, they did not need
It's two different things than not.
When encountering pirates, we can't let Cass alone or add Sazil to take command. That would be exhausting.
With this in mind, Donald and the others were promoted.
Qrow breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't see himself on the document.
At this moment, he sat down, his expression returned to calmness, and he praised the three people who came back: "Not bad, I even put on a cloak when I went to the headquarters. Also, Crowe, you are now a lieutenant colonel.
Yes, Lida, you too, and Cass."
He looked strangely at the bearded man in front of him who was very enthusiastic even though he had no expression at all, "You have also been promoted, you are also a lieutenant colonel."
"Have I been promoted? Thank you Mr. Cullo for your cultivation!" Kasper stood straight and said loudly.
"Ah no, this seems to have nothing to do with me, it's all your own efforts." Kuro scratched his head, but he felt in his heart that maybe he was the one who caused the bearded man.
Just upgrade one level?
Those 3,000 clone soldiers are not fake. For such a great contribution, if it is only mentioned at the first level, then maybe Vinsmoke is causing trouble inside.
Vinsmoke exerted influence on it. After all, this is someone else's soldier. If Cass comes over, the World Government should also pay attention to its influence. It would be good to have one level.
He guessed that the headquarters side was trying to push back against the World Government, and then the credit was equally shared among these subordinates, otherwise he might not have been promoted.
But this is a good thing!
Because there is no one himself, this means that Vinsmoke really does what he says, and when he says he will complain, he will complain.
What a good man!
Go back to Beihai and give them a medal.
"Wait, Brigadier Clow"
At this time, Sazer asked weakly: "Don't you have my promotion order?"
Kuro lowered his head and flipped through the documents, shook his head and said, "It seems there is none for you."
Sazer pursed his lips, looked at Donald, and asked, "Let me tell you, what were your results when the three of you were training at this headquarters?"
"First." Donald said.
"Third." Fanny smiled, then pointed at Platycodon and said, "Platycodon is second."
Sazil: "..."
Why!
Why don't you have the kind of order to get average grades that are neither above nor below?
Do you know how difficult it is for me to become a second lieutenant?
And everyone has been promoted, why not me?
He looked at Crowe resentfully, who pretended not to notice and pushed up his glasses, "Promotion is a good thing."
"By the way, I haven't congratulated Brigadier General Kuro yet!"
Donald thought of something and said excitedly: "You are so awesome! I heard about it at the headquarters. You killed Redfield by yourself. You looked so handsome in that newspaper!"
"Ah?! What did you say?!"
Kuro stretched his head and his expression was stunned. The smile that he had just smiled because he didn't see him froze on his face and became indescribably weird.
