It doesn't matter to Kuro that Lida wants to stay. In fact, Kuro doesn't worry about letting her go. He's afraid that she will empty out any of the bases. Moreover, that bastard Tiqi still seems to be thinking about Lida's ability. It's best to stay. By your side.
As for Crowe, it was purely a matter of convenience.
He needs to keep some people around him so that the higher-ups won't deny him any face.
As for what Crowe thinks.
Isn't he very happy? He greeted me with a smile.
Crowe had a smile on his face, but he was sitting there stiffly. Although he was smiling, his eyes were numb.
He really wanted to act like a lieutenant general, find a base like Mr. Clow, bully others, and live a more luxurious life, without forgetting the responsibilities of the navy.
So majestic
Why?
Why should he be left behind even though he is already a lieutenant general, and still be treated like a tool?
"Cass and Wilbur have received orders, why don't you stop them?" Crowe asked with some reluctance and even a little malice.
If he can't leave, why can Cass and Wilbur leave?
"They, they are all lieutenant generals, they need to take charge of their own affairs."
Kuro took a sip of wine and said, "It doesn't matter if you are always by my side. I have never heard of a lieutenant general following another lieutenant general. This is against the rules."
"Mr. Clow, what about me"
"As for you, well. I don't have any rules to begin with. Anyway, I'm using them easily. Chloe, go get ready for the boat and finally take a rest. While there are no other orders, let's go back and take a walk."
"It's Mr. Crow." Crow pushed up his glasses and said helplessly.
People are different. Just those two hot-blooded ones would have been killed by the quarrels they had next to them every day.
If he becomes a lieutenant general, he will naturally be released, and no harm will be done to him.
Wilbur used to be quite nice, but he probably had to work with Cass for a long time, and now he speaks with a Cass flavor, which makes Qrow extremely uncomfortable and even scared.
Go farther, go farther.
Crowley took a sip of wine and sighed: "Life is so pleasant."
Ever since he learned that these subordinates had been promoted, he had been here for several days and began to enjoy the tranquility in advance.
I, Kuro, am less than thirty years old, and I am already close to realizing my ideal!
…
Outside, Cass and Wilbur walked out side by side.
"Why did you stop me just now?" Cass frowned and said, "Such a thing should be reported to Mr. Clow, right?"
"Have you not noticed that since we were promoted, Mr. Clow has been staying in the tavern and eating there alone when he has nothing to do? The meaning of this is already very obvious." Wilbur said with some sadness. .
"You mean," Cass's eyes widened, "there's no place, right?"
Wilbur nodded solemnly: "Yes, there is no position. You must know that this promotion is an unprecedented promotion. In addition to us, others have also been promoted. The lowest is Lieutenant Colonel, and this should have been Library Mr. Luo’s contribution can become the general’s contribution!”
Wilbur himself was a naval officer in the Grand Line. Unlike Cass, who came up from a small place in the East China Sea, he understood the structure of the navy better than Cass.
For a collective promotion like this, it must be that the chief officer cannot be promoted, and this situation will only occur.
But there is no way to get promoted, there is only one situation, that is, there is no place.
Mr. Clow can't be promoted to general.
The positions of the three generals were decided long ago.
No one can force the World Government to make changes, otherwise, there would be more than three generals by now.
Moreover, even if there are more than three generals, there is no way to be promoted now.
The World Government will not tolerate two navies from the same faction becoming generals. In that case, the power will be too great.
"Mr. Clow can't be a general now. This is our dereliction of duty!"
Wilbur clutched his chest and said sadly: "As a subordinate, it is a big dereliction of duty to not be able to solve problems for your superiors! Mr. Clow was so lonely that he was drinking alone. What did he say when we came here?
, he said we are already on the same level."
"Equal. You should know what this means, Cass!"
"Yes, I know it very well." Cass murmured absently: "That's the loneliness and helplessness of knowing that he can't be promoted. That's why Mr. Clow said that we are on the same level and he can't make a decision for us.
.”
Wilbur gritted his teeth and said: "That's right! We haven't worked hard enough and we have just become lieutenant generals. If we want the superiors to pay attention to us or even think about replacing the generals, we must achieve something to make the superiors notice us.
, we are not qualified now.”
"Mr. Kuro asked us to make our own decisions with this intention. He meant that we should work hard and make our own decisions. Since we are lieutenant generals, of course we are qualified to take charge of our own affairs, so there is no need for Kuro to do many things.
Mr. Clow is here to take charge. Otherwise, if Mr. Clow has to use his brain for everything, how will we realize Mr. Clow's ideal?"
After listening to this, Cass nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, and it is indeed the case. It is also time for Mr. Clow to check whether our ability can stand on our own."
"Yes, that's it. Mr. Clow never tells everything when he speaks. After all, there is no way to explain things clearly. It's too risky. We only need to see what he does, and that's enough."
Wilbur said: "So, Cass, you are about to go to Dressrosa, and I am about to go to Korff. If the two of us help each other, we can cooperate with David to complete his idea, and at the same time, we will be trained there.
We have ability, strength and reputation. When the time comes, we will have the energy to help Mr. Clow become a general!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists and almost shouted with excitement: "As subordinates, it is most important and the most important thing for us to share the worries of our superiors!"
"Wilbur, what you said is so wonderful!!"
Cass couldn't help but applaud, his face turned red, "That's right! That's what we're about to do! Now Mr. Kuro can't be promoted because of General Kizaru, but in the end, our reputation is not enough. Once our voice increases,
, we can let the higher ups see Mr. Kuro’s power, in that case, Mr. Kuro’s long-cherished wish will definitely come true!”
What they want to report to Clow is that the G-3 Fortress is gone, but Dressrosa voluntarily donated Greenbit to be used as a naval base.
The neighboring Korfu Kingdom's treaty to join the World Government stipulated that a naval base be built within the territory of its kingdom. These two naval bases were taken over by them.
This time I was going to report to Cullo that they were going to take office and see what instructions there were.
But after hearing what Wilbur said, Cass felt it was unnecessary.
They want to stand alone, and they want to win more face for Mr. Clow!
