“What is it, Old Master?”

Curious, Kuro leaned over to Kizaru’s ear and said.

“You will know later, Kuro, it is a good thing,” Kizaru said with a smile.

‘Good thing?’

With such a big venue and so many people, it must be a good thing to say that it is a good thing. It should not be a scam.

“What a surprise.”

Kuro spewed out smoke and stood firmly behind Kizaru to see what he would say later.

Kizaru cleared his throat, picked up Den Den Mushi on the table, put the microphone to his mouth, and said:

“Maximose, Maximose, can you hear me?”

The Den Den Mushi’s expansion allowed the sound to be released in the entire conference room. Kizaru tried two sentences and continued:

“It has been more than ten years since I became a general. I am 59 years old this year, and today is my birthday. After my birthday, I will be 60 years old.”

Huh?

Kuro was stunned. The old man did not say that. This is equivalent to his 60th birthday?

That’s a good thing. No wonder everyone came.

But then again, the old man had not said anything about his birthday in the past few years, nor had he celebrated his birthday, so no one knew.

They don’t seem to have a tradition of celebrating birthdays.

But it was worth holding a birthday party.

Thinking of this, Kuro nodded and left from behind Kizaru. He walked to the back door and turned on the Den Den Mushi on his wristwatch to make a call.

Den Den Mushi’s appearance turned into the appearance of a retarded… wise man wearing glasses, he said hesitantly: “Mr. Kuro?”

“Go, book all the restaurants behind Headquarters for me. Book the biggest one first, so that the old man and I have a place to eat, and then invite all the top Marines. The banquet will be held for seven days, so that those who didn’t arrive will have time to come back. My old man’s 60th birthday, we must make them give face.”

“Birthday? Yes, I understand, I’ll go and inform them now.” Crowe quickly replied.

“Well, call Cass and Wilbur over. Seven days is enough. If there are really those who can’t make it in time, it’s fine. I’ll make up for it later.” Kuro hung up the phone and continued to walk inside.

It’s the old man’s birthday. It’s a little petty to call his faction. It’s more lively to call everyone over.

“Time has passed too quickly. Some of you can be considered to have grown up under my watch. Now you are over 40 years old, and I am also 60 years old. I also feel tired. Young people nowadays are too scary, but what is good is that there is a young man who happens to be on our side.”

When he went in, Kizaru was still talking, and this sentence made everyone look at Kuro, who had just come in.

There was relief, excitement, and admiration in his eyes.

Strawberry stroked his long beard, his face full of relief.

The few Vice-Admiral beside him were a little impressed. After all, Kuro is considered a new generation, but he has such a proud record, which is very admirable.

As for the young Rear Admiral, their faces were full of excitement. Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in (f)ir(e).nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Marines are actually even more arrogant than pirates, especially the old-school Marines. Among them, not everyone, even the veteran Strawberry, is convinced. Although he is very strong, there are so many achievements here. Many Vice-Admiral’s achievements are actually not much worse than Strawberry’s.

But Kuro is different. In terms of age, it is definitely not possible.

He is young and powerful, but not necessarily convinced.

Even if he is young and has such a terrifying record, there are still people who are not convinced.

But Kuro has power!

Sword is not known by ordinary Marines, but at their level, they know a little.

Shichibukai was known by everyone. That power was the greatest power under Kuro.

As a reserve general of the Headquarters, he defeated many big pirates and has great strength and power. From the moment he joined Kizaru’s faction, he was favored by others. Later, he was designated as the successor of the faction and he will definitely be a general in the future.

This time, Admiral Kizaru must be preparing to retreat. As Marine Admiral, they already have news. During this period of time, Kizaru has deliberately downplayed himself, giving them a signal.

And now that they said it, they had roughly guessed it in their hearts.

No one was unconvinced, and the young Rear Admirals were even more excited.

They also know Kuro’s life very well and know that this is a colleague who will not mistreat his subordinates. Once he takes office, the scope of their activities and the power of doing things will be much greater than before.

Only Kuro …

Why are you looking at me?

Kuro returned to Kizaru’s back with a puzzled look on his face.

Isn’t he just a young man? Isn’t it normal to flatter him at such a meeting?

“Kuro…”

Kizaru stood up with a smile and pointed to the main seat and said, “You sit here.”

“Me? Old man, I am not suitable,” Kuro said.

He had nothing to say. He had already finished talking before the old man came. Wouldn’t it be awkward if he went up now?

Kizaru did not say anything and just looked at him with a smile.

“Sit down…”

Suddenly, Strawberry said, “You can sit in this position.”

“Yes, sit! Vice-Admiral Kuro, you can sit!”

“Yes, I agree!”

“Seconded!”

With Strawberry’s words, the Marine Generals below spoke one by one.

“Big Brother, you have to sit in this position!” Sentomaru also shouted from behind.

“I’ll sit.”

Kuro rolled his eyes and sat down on the main seat without any pleasantries. He picked up the microphone and said, “I say, today is the old man’s birthday. What are you doing? What are you talking about? I have said what I should say before. Let me remind you again, I don’t care what posture you usually wear, but at the old man’s birthday party, at least you are dressed like a proper person!”

“Especially you, Sentomaru. When the meeting is over, change your clothes immediately. If you don’t have any clothes, go buy them. After today’s meeting, if I see you wearing a dudou again, I will peel off your skin!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone straightened their bodies and stood up. They saluted and shouted in unison, “Yes!”

Strawberry finally got up and slowly gave a Marine salute. He smiled and said, “Yes.”

Something touched Kuro’s shoulder. He turned around and saw Kizaru taking off his cloak and putting it on him. He looked around at the people on the field and finally looked at Kuro.

“Then, I am going to retire and you will lead me in the future, Kuro.”

“?”

A large question mark appeared above Kuro’s head, and then the question mark popped up violently as if it was a derivative.

“???!!”

Kuro’s eyes widened in disbelief and his mouth fell open.

“Retire, retire?!”
