1062 Make Way for Young People

Astya’s matter has nothing to do with them anymore. They are Marines, not the World Government. The World Government doesn’t matter now, so they don’t care.

“Stay in Headquarters for a while.”

With that, Sakasugi let Kuro go.

On the other hand, Kuro was a little baffled. Although he said that he would stay in the headquarters for a long time, he was fine.

But as a Marshal, how could he take the initiative to say such things and let him stay in the headquarters for a period of time?

Enlightened?

Do you know that I’ve been working too hard? Or did you just give up on the treatment and let me do whatever I want?

Sakasugi is not like that…

With this question in mind, Kuro walked out of the Marshal’s office and headed straight for Kizaru’s office.

Kizaru was also there at this moment. It should be said that the old man had not left the house for a long time.

“Oh, Kuro, you’re here.”

Kizaru crossed his legs and cut his nails.

“Old man…”

Kuro sat opposite him and said directly, “What’s going on? Marshal Sakasugi is abnormal and actually asked me to stay in the headquarters for a while. Is there something big?”

Kizaru glanced at him, put down the nail clipper, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said, “I don’t know, maybe there is something big up there.”

“Something big…”

Kuro rubbed his chin and muttered, “What big thing can happen recently?”

As a Vice-Admiral and a real power in the Marine, he should be able to get a signal if something big happens.

There was no news about him, which meant that the World Government had told Sakasugi about this in private, but he had to keep him in Headquarters…

Who is coming here to ambush me?

Is there a big move in the alliance between Kaido and Lingling?

That shouldn’t be the case. Those two people are busy cleaning up the ground rats in their territory, so it’s impossible for them to be free. Even if they are free, they will think of a way to look at the Poneglyph, get the location of the road signs, and then search wantonly.

If it was not them, the other two Yonkō (Four Emperors) would not be mentioned.

Shanks is the most Buddhist. He won’t get into a conflict with Marines and won’t come out in the New World.

Tiki is probably busy reorganizing his forces now. After all, the battle with me almost emptied him out. If he doesn’t have any forces, his territory will be small, and the other pirates are also thinking about Tiki’s territory now, so they can’t be free.

Apart from these few, what else is there to wait for?

The other old guys who came out of Impel Down? With Sakasugi’s temperament, if he knew that someone wanted to deal with Headquarters, he would have brought people out long ago. It was impossible for him to stay in Headquarters.

“I don’t know, but Sakasugi always has his reasons for doing things.” Kizaru said meaningfully: “You should stay in Headquarters for a while longer. Speaking of which, how does it feel to be the world’s number one swordsman?”

Why are your words so ambiguous?

Kuro rolled his eyes. “What do you mean how does it feel to be the world’s number one swordsman? It’s how it feels to be the world’s number one swordsman. Speaking of which, how would I know? I didn’t get any benefits.”

The news didn’t report it and it spread on a small scale. You ask him what he feels?

He really did not have any thoughts.

This was acknowledged by Mihawk as the world’s number one swordsman.

“Benefits…”

Kizaru narrowed his eyes and smiled. “So, Kuro, what benefits do you want?”

“What else can I want? I don’t want anything now.”

This was true.

Kuro felt that he had reached the end of his life and had no desires.

He had no concept of money to begin with. In fact, the business on Pegasus Island was enough for him to live well. Now, with the taxes of Dressrosa and Sabaody Archipelago, he had long passed the concept of lack of money.

After all, as a Marine, the welfare treatment is very good and he does not need to worry about food and drink. He only needs to enjoy other things.

Kuro has an appeal for power, but his biggest appeal is actually to be a colonel base commander in the branch. Every day, he will sail a Battleship to pick up girls, drink red wine and eat delicious food. When he meets small pirates, he will either catch them or let them go.

That kind of local life was what he yearned for.

But now that he is a candidate, what is there to talk about? I want to tell the higher-ups that he wants to be a colonel, but the key is that they have to agree.

At this point, he doesn’t want anything anymore.

He didn’t even want his life, he just wanted to be comfortable.

“You don’t want anything… You’re right, you’ve already reached the top. If you go any higher, it will be my position.” Kizaru teased.

“Come on, sit in your seat.”

Kuro rolled his eyes. “It’s still early for you to retire. I’m fine like this. You don’t have to worry.”

“Well, it’s not like that. After I came back from the Country of Peace, I often feel that my energy is not enough, and I am thinking about whether to retire or not.” Kizaru said with a smile.

“Don’t joke, you step down?” Kuro didn’t believe it.

Although this person is always slacking, it is impossible for him to retreat.

This position of a general is more comfortable than anyone else. How can it be possible to retreat?

Even I…

Bah!

He would not do it!

Kuro half-reclined on the seat and suddenly smiled. “I say, old man, are you thinking of leaving if you can’t get promoted? Back then, I asked you if you wanted to compete, but you didn’t. Now you think it’s boring?”

Back then, when the old man wanted to compete, he really had a chance.

The World Government belongs to Sakasugi, and Sengoku belongs to Kazan at that time, but they haven’t spoken yet.

Although the attitude of the Centrists has always been indifferent, it is not impossible for Kuro to do things.

If the old man becomes the Marshal, he can live more comfortably.

At that time, Sakasugi and Kuzan’s factions were in a heated argument and it took nearly a year to decide the winner by a duel.

That time was enough for the old man to compete. After all, no one wanted to see the Marines fighting. The old man went on stage, and Sakasugi and Kuzan did not care.

But thinking about it, it’s impossible. It’s precisely because the Centrists are not convinced by anyone that if the old man goes on stage, it will lead to a great schism in the Marine Corps. At that time, Sakasugi and Kuzan will definitely act independently.

The old man also understood this, and he had no intention of fighting.

Kizaru looked at Kuro and smiled. “I just think that I should make way for young people…”

“Marshal Sakaski is only two or three years younger than you. You are of the same generation. Although Kuzan is a little young, he is not young. What kind of young man is he?”

Kuro didn’t think of himself at first, but thought of the ages of these three. Kizaru was the oldest of the original Three Generals, but he couldn’t be much worse.
