nI Was Promoted?

nThat ‘happiness pill’ has a deal with the Underground World, so it will definitely attract a group of World Government personnel who want benefits and there will even be high-level participation.

nKuro had guessed this situation before he decided to act.

nTherefore, if there’s anything, go to Kizaru.

nAfter all, he was the direct subordinate of the old man. Why wouldn’t he use such a troublesome matter?

nHe really doesn’t have the means to take care of others.

nAdmiral is used to take the blame.

nKuro did not care about such things.

nAt first light, the warship continued to sail away from Morgati.

nBut before setting sail, Kuro had Marines search the island for fruit.

nThere was no trace of Devil Fruit.

nJust in case, he also checked Leda’s bag, which was also empty.

nIt seems that the fruit has not been reborn nearby. I don’t know where it went.

nIf he could not find the fruit, Kuro could only set sail.

nKuro had expected a call on this day, but there was none. The Battleship was still sailing slowly.

nThe third day.

nIn the office.

nSeveral people were eating.

nIn front of Kuro was a classic Japanese lunch, a mackerel fish, miso soup, a few side dishes, a bowl of rice, and a bottle of sake.

nKuro picked up the mackerel and took a bite, then poured himself a cup and slowly drank it.

nBa-Shi.

nBeside him, Leda had a table full of food and was eating heartily. She looked at Kuro as she ate. “It’s been so many days, hasn’t Kizaru called? Have you been abandoned, Kuro? Maybe there will be a notice later. You are under arrest.”

nCrowe adjusted his glasses. “Then we can be pirates.”

nLeda grinned and said, “Kuro inherited everything from Golden Lion. If we want to be pirates, we will also be ‘Flying Pirates’.”

n“Eating can’t stop your mouth.”

nKuro glared at him and touched the rice and pickled cucumbers with his fingers. “Lion Wei Sushi Roll!”

nThe rice floated up and wrapped around the pickled cucumber and sent it straight into Leda’s mouth.

n“It’s impossible to think with your knees.”

nLooking at the rice blocking Leda’s mouth, Kuro said, “Is it so easy to be the direct subordinate of the Admiral? It’s not so easy to get past the old man. Just wait obediently. It’s best if you don’t have time to deal with me. After all, this is a tense time.”

nAce was in jail. Of course he was nervous.

nThe matter of ten Moorgati is not comparable to the coming storm.

nBut for Kuro, this is a good thing.

nIf the higher-ups forget him, he can continue to slack in East Blue.

n“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”

nJust as he thought this, the Den Den Mushi on his wrist rang.

nKuro curled his lips and answered the call. Immediately, Den Den Mushi’s appearance became wretched.

n“Moximossi, is it Kuro?”

n“Ah… it’s me, what’s the matter?” Kuro asked.

n“Well, you’ve done a big thing. It’s so terrible. Morgati is in a mess because of you. I heard that His Highness died. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”

n“If you call at this time, then you should have figured out the darkness of Morgati. I just can’t stand it.” Kuro said lazily.

nDen Den Mushi was silent for a moment before saying, “This old man has spent a lot of effort to deal with the aftermath for you. Even so, the World Government’s punishment has come.”

n“Oh?”

nKuro was shocked and his tone was a little excited. “He came down? Is he going to send me away?”

nHe had figured something out in the past two days.

nThe matter of Morgati can’t be hidden. No one saw my ability at that time. This can be hidden, but he killed the prince of other people. This can’t be hidden.

nPrince Fun has a connection with the World Government. If I rashly kill him, I will not give the World Government face.

nThe old man would definitely protect him, but the World Government is the superior of the Marine after all. At most, they will not let anything happen to him, but he will definitely not be promoted. He might even be sent to some remote place.

nIt’s good to be exiled!

nKuro was waiting for this!

nThe sea is so dangerous. What kind of thing did he encounter in the East China Sea?

nNot to mention Golden Lion, there are two Haoshoku in a small East China Sea island kingdom like Morgati, and their abilities are very treacherous.

nIf it weren’t for Kuro’s good cultivation over the years, he might have really fallen for it.

nSo if he is sent to some remote place, it is most suitable.

n“Hey… Kuro, I’m sorry.”

nThere was a sigh from Den Den Mushi.

nKuro looked even happier and even smiled.

nHe was steady!

n“Although it is said that Prince Fun is making poison to control civilians and the Underground World is circulating, he is still a prince of a country. The government has no orders, and it is wrong for you to act rashly. The World Government has decided to hide the matter of Morgati, so you have no credit.”

n‘And no credit?’

n“And then, what about the banishment?” Kuro said anxiously.

n“Originally, you were going to be deported, but I stopped you. But you can’t take a vacation, go back to the headquarters.”

nReturn to headquarters?!

nYou want him to return to headquarters at this juncture?

nAce has been thrown into jail!

n“No, Old Master, I went against the will of the World Government and I feel guilty. You should let me be sent away. I can be sent anywhere. I have no face to return to the headquarters!” Kuro made one last effort.

n“Well, you still have such determination? I am very relieved, but I have already decided, and you are not under my eyes. If you go around and do something, it will make things difficult for me. It is not easy for me to hide your strength, you have to let me save some time, right?”

n“…”

nThis old guy is determined to let him return to the headquarters.

nHis ambition had failed.

nSo be it if I go back to the Headquarters. Anyway, I am only a Second Lieutenant. When the time comes, I can find a ship to patrol the Grand Line before the war, or I can camp somewhere nearby and avoid that top-level war.

n“By the way, you have been promoted, including your subordinates, Leda and Crowe. You caught a big pirate. According to the situation, the big pirate was caught by the three of you, so Kuro, Headquarters has decided to promote you to Major, Leda to First Lieutenant and Crowe to Second Lieutenant.”

n“???”

nA question mark appeared on Kuro’s head.

n“I, got promoted?” Kuro pointed at himself and said uncertainly, “Are you talking to me?”

n“Young people nowadays are so scary. They can make a 370 million pirate surrender without saying anything. Even I can’t do it. Well, just like this, I’ll wait for you to come back and complete the promotion ceremony.”

nClick.

nThe Den Den Mushi came down.

n“Wait, wait for the old man!”

nKuro straightened up and shouted, but there was no sound there.

nPromoted?

n‘What happened?’

nHow did I inexplicably become a major?!

n
