Chapter 494

The Tightest Man

A week later.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Kuro had returned a few days ago and had been holding it in in Sabaody Archipelago.

He felt that going out was like being hollowed out. He had to rest well.

As for what he had done…

“Oh, Kuro.”

At this time, Kizaru was in his office and said to him, “About the result of this matter…”

He did not leave after sending Kuro back to Sabaody Depot. He stayed here and did not know what he was going to do.

But Kuro also let him be. He is a general, he can go wherever he wants.

“What result?”

Kuro was now leaning against the back of the chair with his legs leaning against the office. When he heard Kizaru say this, he was stunned for a moment and put his legs down. He sat up straight and was very nervous.

Previously, he didn’t consider the consequences and directly went to confront Charlotte Lingling, which was a little shocking. Now that many people in the Marine know about it, he didn’t want to get any benefits and get promoted.

Kizaru said, “The World Government thinks that this matter cannot be publicized, so your matter has been suppressed. It’s really… scary, World Government.”

“Suppressed?”

Kuro was delighted. “That’s great. No, that’s too much of a pity.”

Then, he felt that he should not smile. His face immediately fell and he put on an indignant look.

“How can the World Government be like this? I have contributed to the government and fought against Yonkō (Four Emperors) for the government. Aren’t you going to comfort me?!”

Kizaru chuckled and said, “Yes, the government is going to recruit you to Mary Joa.”

Hearing this, Kuro was stunned on the spot and stared at Kizaru for a long time before he spoke.

“Huh?”

He pointed at himself and said, “Me? Mary Joa?”

Those words seemed to be saying something impossible.

“Grandpa, aren’t you joking? You want me to go to Mariejois?”

Kuro shook his head. “I’m not going! You know that I’m not suitable to go.”

What a joke!

He went to Mariejois?

Not to mention that he doesn’t like those idiots, even if he doesn’t like them, he is not suitable to go to Mariejois.

If one day some idiot Draconian doesn’t like me and handcuffs me with a Seastone, will Mary Jo still want it?

What, he did what the Revolutionary Army failed to do?

“So Sakasugi and I didn’t agree.”

Kizaru’s next words made Kuro roll his eyes.

This old man, don’t breathe too hard when you speak. It’s very scary.

“However, you have been promoted…”

“WTF?!!”

Kuro suddenly stood up and shouted with his eyes wide open, “Didn’t the World Government say that this matter is not public?! How did he get promoted!”

“This is the internal compensation for you. Although the World Government does not allow you to publicize it, the Navy will not mistreat you.”

Kizaru’s eyes narrowed into a slit. “So, everyone has been promoted one level.”

Level 1?

Level 1!

If he is a Level 1, then he is a Level 2…

“Of course, Kuro, it doesn’t include you. I’m sorry.” When Kizaru said this, his face showed a trace of apology.

What the hell…

You’re messing with my heart! Damn old man!

I almost thought I was dead meat!

With Kizaru’s explanation, Kuro knows that in addition to his promotion plan, Kaz is also here. After all, he has been promoted to colonel because of the Pegasus Island incident. At this moment, he is not promoted.

As for Kuro’s own credit, although it was suppressed by the World Government, Marines said that they would not let their own people down.

Kuro can’t be promoted, but his subordinates can. The Marine internal commendation this time has made all his subordinates promoted.

Crowe and Leda can now be said to be colonels, Donald is a captain, and Basil, Stork, and Fanny are lieutenants.

Kuro did not care if his subordinates were promoted.

“Are you sure?”

Kuro raised his eyebrows and asked Kizaru again and again, “There is no more reversal, right? I am not promoted, right?”

“Oh, Kuro, this kind of thing can’t be rushed,” Kizaru said.

Yada thief!

Kuro hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, it can’t be rushed. I’m not in a hurry. I’m still young, let me go for 30 to 50… No, I can let it go for a long time. Everything is for the big picture.”

He showed great respect for the overall situation and then lowered his head, showing a trace of unwillingness.

Yes, it’s not that I don’t want to rise, but I’m being held down and can’t rise. You can’t blame me.

But I am still a good Marine with a bright future.

“Really?” Kizaru looked at him with a smile.

“Yes!” Kuro nodded like a chick pecking rice.

World Government, I love you so much at this moment!

“Well, it’s good that you think that way. Ask your subordinates to come back to the headquarters and give me a medal. I’ll go over first. By the way, I’ll leave Battle Peach Maru to you.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t worry, old man, you should leave quickly,” Kuro said quickly.

This guy might have new orders in a day. He did not want to accept any more orders that could cause trouble.

Last time, it was because he asked me to investigate that he killed Ledfield.

You learn from your mistakes.

This mistake will never be made again.

After seeing Kizaru and Strawberry off, Kuro stretched comfortably in the port. “Finally gone, no more trouble.”

“Brother Kuro! You’re amazing!”

Sentomaru and Kuro watched Kizaru and others leave together, and then said to Kuro in admiration, “I have heard a lot, you defeated Ledfield and broke into Charlotte Lingling’s Totland alone. You are completely famous in the Marine!”

“Go, go, go!”

Kuro waved his hand angrily. “Do you want me to give you this reputation?!”

“Brother Kuro, I will rely on my own strength to gain fame!”

Sentomaru did not hear Kuro’s sarcasm. Instead, he thought it was an encouragement and clenched his fist.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Kuro rolled his eyes and said as he walked back, “Speaking of which, you have officially joined the Marine. What about the Scientific Force?”

“I am the most tight-lipped man in the world. I won’t say that the ‘SSG’ of the punk bastard has almost been studied. Even if it’s Brother Kuro, this secret can’t be leaked.”

Kuro’s lips twitched. “You already said it.”

“Uh…”

Sentomaru was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, “This is what I want to say. I don’t want to say that no one can force me. I am the world’s mouth…”

“Yes, yes, yes, the tightest man. Okay, don’t push. You have officially joined the Marine. What is your rank now?” Kuro asked.

“Colonel,” Sentomaru said. “I am a colonel now.”

“Colonel, it’s really…”

Kuro bit his cigar and glanced at Sentomaru. “Forget it, your strength is enough. Do it well. The old man taught you to me and I will give you special training regularly. In this world, if you are not strong, you will not be able to reach the goal you want.”

Especially after the battle with Charlotte Lingling, he was eager to improve his strength.

Sure enough, cultivation is still not enough.

He had to develop more moves and a stronger physique.

Otherwise, when facing a monster like Yonkō (Four Emperors), he would always be at a disadvantage.
