Chapter 977 – : Have You Decided?

What do I do and I’m not bad?

Kuro pursed his lips and said, “I just went to the Country of Peace to support the old man. It’s nothing.”

With that, he sat directly in the seat under Sakasugi’s desk and lit a cigar.

The old man sat opposite him and said to Sakasugi, “Well, it’s a little fruitful. At least Kaido and Charlotte Lingling are confirmed to be in an alliance.”

“Is Locus coming back?”

Sakasugi nodded and said, “But there is no need to worry about that kind of thing. Pirates are pirates after all. After Whitebeard, their era has long passed. Our Marine will definitely win!”

Kizaru shrugged while Kuro looked up and puffed on his cigar without saying a word.

They were all old Marines with high positions. There was not much point in saying such things. They were better at doing it.

The Sakasugi itself is the same.

“Kuro, you did a good job with Blackbeard. G-3 is destroyed, you should rest in the headquarters for a while, how about that?” Sakasugi asked.

“I have no objections!”

He had been waiting for this!

“My injury won’t recover for a while, and Shichibukai hasn’t gathered enough people, so I’ll take a look and take a long vacation.”

Kuro pretended to be very indifferent as he said this, but one of his hands was already bulging with veins and he was holding the armrest tightly.

It was as if he was casually talking about his plan, but at this moment, he was excited!

I can’t be exposed!

I can’t get excited!

Be careful of being seen through!

“Well, that’s it. You go out first.” Sakasugi nodded.

“Then I will go, Marshal Sakasugi, old man.”

Kuro stood up and greeted the two of them before walking out.

That speed was at least three times faster than when he came in.

Only when Kuro disappeared did Sakasugi look at Polusalino. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, “You have decided?”

Kizaru shrugged. “It’s time to give it to the young people. Kuro needs this position more than me. He has his ambitions.”

“I can see that.”

Sakasugi closed his eyes and said, “Just now when I said to let him rest for a while, his movements were exposed. He was very excited, which means that he also understands that there is no place for him now.”

Apart from the position of a general, there was no other position for him.

The battle with Blackbeard was already a great achievement. He single-handedly broke into the Country of Peace to support Kizaru, and a fierce battle with Kaido and Charlotte Lingling also proved his strength.

Although he was young, he was qualified for this position.

But he was a subordinate of Borusalino, a faction of Borusalino.

If Borusalino doesn’t go down, he can’t go up.

“My original intention was to leave it there for a while. After all, Kuro is very young and it is not a good thing to dock with the higher-ups now, but G-3 is destroyed and this matter cannot be delayed. It will take more than a year to find an island to rebuild the base, but if Kuro is idle for more than a year, he will not agree.”

Sakasugi said, “Just now, he was worried about our face and didn’t get excited immediately, but we can’t treat him like this in private. You know best, Polusalino, this is your proud subordinate. But it’s not that fast, the higher-ups won’t agree so easily.”

Kizaru nodded. “We need a transition… the power of Sword will be handed to him for the time being, and then we will slowly transition.”

“Yes, this is an internal matter of our Marine. There is no need to report to the higher-ups. The command of the command of the word is handed over to Kuro.”

Sakasugi nodded. “In addition, it’s time to move his subordinates. Blackbeard’s contribution is enough.”

Kizaru nodded and said, “I have no objections.”

This made Sakasaki look at Kizaru and sigh. “As an old friend who has known each other for many years, you have to step down…”

Kuzan is not in the same batch as them and can be considered their junior brother. Even if their relationship is not that good, as colleagues for many years, they have compassion.

Otherwise, the injuries of Punk Hassad and Kuzan would not be as light as now.

But Borusalino was different.

Sakasugi’s character and style are actually incompatible with many Marines, and only his own faction supports him.

But there was only one, and that was Polusalino.

They were of the same generation and their ages were similar. Coupled with Polusalino’s character, in addition to the relationship positions in the Marine, they were also old friends.

Now that Kuzan is gone, Borusalino also wants to retreat. Their group of people has been updated from Sengoku to the present. The era of the three Admiral of Marine, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji seems to be gone forever.

Kizaru leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and placed his hands on his thighs. His head was slightly raised, and the sunglasses he was wearing glowed. He slowly said, “The times are moving forward, Sakasugi. You can’t always be in this position. Young people want to be in it, but they have the qualifications…”

He paused, remembering the conversation he had heard between Kaz and Wilbur. He chuckled.

“Then get out of the way. Young people are much more energetic and daring than us.”

He opened his mouth at Sakasugi. “Well, it’s not like I’m not in the Marine. Don’t look like that. It’s terrible, Sakasugi.”

“Up to you. After all, it’s for your own subordinates.”

Sakasugi exhaled and said, “Kuro is qualified. In that case, I will find a chance to go to Mariejois and talk to Gorōsei in person.”

Kizaru smiled without saying anything.

There are some things…

If Kuro did not say, he could not ask.

He could not even say this openly for fear of scaring Kuro away.

That kind of ambition is amazing.

Others might not know, but Kizaru did.

They were completely hated by the higher-ups. If they were exposed, they would not rest until they died.

Kizaru loves to read, he has liked to read and write since he was young.

So he knows a lot of principles.

But the more he knew, the more he looked like this.

Be with the light and don’t ask about anything. This is his personality.

But it was impossible to say that his heart had not been agitated.

Who hasn’t been young before?

He is old and there is not enough time, but Kuro has a chance to realize his terrible ambition.

Wasn’t everything he was doing now preparation for this?

If you step down now and Kuro takes over, even if there is an accident and the World Government interferes and you can’t be a Marshal, you will have at least 30 or 40 years of general power.

The Admiral and the Admiral Substitute are completely different concepts. These are two power classes that can let Kuro know more things and come into contact with more secrets.

Enough power, enough time, and enough time for him to do what he wanted.

As Kuro’s direct superior, he will help Kuro in this matter.

Kizaru smiled until his eyes narrowed, looking benevolent.

After calling him “Old Master” for so long, he couldn’t let down Kuro.
