Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078: Too Young
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the eyes of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars), few people can refuse this temptation.
After all, he was a young general.
And hasn’t Kuro always wanted that position?
When he got the news, he should be secretly delighted. This should be his goal. Why did he disagree at this moment?
Kuro took a deep breath and said, “Admiral Kizaru shouldn’t have left so early. It doesn’t make sense. He is only 60 years old. If he continues to retreat like this, it will make outsiders think that there is something wrong with Marine’s internal structure or that it is not safe. Marine is the face of the World Government. If Marine’s top management makes people feel unsafe, will it affect you?”
“Most importantly, I don’t think my fame is enough to make me famous in the sea. Even during the World conscription, Fujitora General and Green Bull General were very famous in the world. I don’t think I’m famous enough.”
He was still struggling because Gorōsei looked like he would be persuaded.
These people have been changing their minds for a long time.
Seeing that Kuro had finished speaking, the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) looked at each other again. After a moment of silence, the curly-haired old man suddenly nodded gently, revealing a gratified expression.
“Good, you have such an idea, Luciru Kuro.”
The old man with the knife said at this time, “We know what happened and we will deal with it properly. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”
The long-bearded old man also nodded and said, “Yes, I heard that it is also Borusalino’s birthday this time. Go back and prepare well, and send our regards. From now on, you don’t have to report when you come over, and you don’t have to come through the gate, just fly in directly.”
“Yes, this way, we can directly report any situation.” The red-skinned old man nodded.
“Report what? I said we can’t retreat!” Kuro frowned and said in a deep voice: “Kizaru will never retreat, I will definitely not agree!”
“Recognize your identity, Kuro!”
The old man with the sword shouted, “You are only a Vice-Admiral. We have already given you a high enough standard to receive you. You have no right to give us orders!”
“This is called giving orders? I’m just fucking suggesting! The retreat of Admiral Kizaru will make people think too much. He is still so young, what’s wrong with him wanting to continue being a general! What’s wrong with him!” Kuro shouted indifferently.
The five old men looked at each other again. The curly-haired old man suddenly smiled and said, “Kuro, what do you want to do?”
“Nothing, nothing extra. I just hope you can think it through.”
Kuro blew out a mouthful of smoke and said, “My proposal, you can think about it.”
With that, Kuro did not want to stay here any longer and left first.
As he left, Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) was silent for a while, and then the curly-haired old man said, “How does it feel to see you for the first time?”
“It feels good.” The old man on the map said, “He is really considerate of us, and he actually took the initiative to care about our face. In the past, Kong, Sengoku and now Sakasugi have never thought of this.”
“His prestige is also very good. As a leader, no one will be unconvinced. He is indeed loyal to us.” The red-skinned old man said, “As for his lack of fame, he should be complaining.”
The old man with the knife nodded and said, “Indeed, we stopped him a lot, but at that time, it was also because Polusalino said that he wanted to retreat. We suppressed him. It’s normal for this kid to have an opinion. Now he can be released.”
The curly-haired old man agreed. “He can indeed be released. He defeated Blackbeard, faced two Yonkō (Four Emperors) in the Country of Peace, and became the world’s number one swordsman.”
The old man with the knife continued, “The world’s number one sword is the most important, this is the most worthy of publicity. The news of him defeating Mihawk has been suppressed by us for so long, and now he’s probably coming here because he heard about it. Hmph, the little kid’s means are still too inexperienced!”
The few of them are experienced people. Even a blind man can see the deep meaning of Kuro’s arrival here. He just despises that what he has done has not been completely announced to the world. He is unwilling to be a general without a lot of fame.
The sudden noise just now was also because of this matter, but he was still too young and his methods were still very immature.
“But in the end, our hearts are with us.”
The old man with the map said, “It’s a pity. If he was older, Sakasugi would have nothing to do with him. Sakasugi has been unable to find his location recently. He doesn’t understand that Marines are just the outer face of the World Government. In comparison, Kuro has done a good job.”
“Then it’s settled.” The long-bearded old man said, “Notify the major media and send the newspaper. Although Morgan ran away, he is not stupid enough to completely offend us. This time, he did not send the news that we suppressed, so if we send it out, he will also take action.”
The others nodded.
“Let’s do it.”
… .
Kuro did not know the decision of the five old men. He only knew that he suddenly had the power to come to Mariejois at any time. He did not even need to announce it and could fly if he wanted to.
But he doesn’t care about this kind of thing. Who the hell would run to Mariejois for no reason?
“They’ve argued, and their attitude is a little bad. These five old men are people who care about their face. If I throw them a face like this, the old man may not step down. If things go well, he might even be sent to me.”
Kuro re-lit a cigar and puffed it out, his face full of worry.
With his personality of wanting the world to be peaceful, he really doesn’t like to take the initiative to attack others, especially his old superior.
But he had no choice. He did not want to be a general.
His attitude is considered bad, not like Sakasugi’s position. It doesn’t matter how bad his attitude is. After all, he is a Marshal personally chosen by the World Government, but I am different. I have never been in the eyes of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars). This time, if I am lucky, I will be sent to guard the Four Seas…
That is simply the beauty of life, no regrets!
As long as it was the four seas, he did not care which sea it was.
East Blue is his hometown, West Blue has its own foundation, and North Blue also has some connections. Although he has never set foot in the South Blue, it does not matter. As long as it is the four seas, he is confident that he can make a ‘Pegasus Island’ in other places.
Or rather, with his current business size, it is not a problem for him to replicate another model to other sea areas.
“Let’s go back first. Today is the old man’s birthday.”
Kuro spat out a jet of smoke and his body swayed. He flew directly from Mariejois and then flew into the sky in front of him until he was outside the Red Earth. His body suddenly lowered and he rushed back towards the new headquarters.
