Pirate Gou to the General

"What's the matter, old man?"

Out of curiosity, Kuro leaned over to Kizaru's ear and spoke.

"You'll know later, Kuro, it's a good thing." Kizaru said with a smile.

good thing?

With such a big place and so many people, it must be a good thing and there should be no pitfalls.

"It's also a surprise."

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

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

"Moxi Moshi, Moshi Moshi, can you hear me?"

The external amplification of the phone bug allowed the sound to be released throughout the conference room. After Kizaru tried a few sentences, he continued:

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

Huh?

Kuro was stunned. The old man had never mentioned this before. Does this mean today is his sixtieth birthday?

That's a good thing, no wonder people come here.

But then again, the old man has never said or celebrated his birthday in the past few years, so no one knows.

They don't seem to have a birthday tradition.

But if it’s your birthday, it’s worth doing once.

Thinking of this, Kuro nodded, left behind Kizaru, walked to the back door, opened the phone on his watch and dialed the number.

The phone bug's appearance turned into that of a retarded... wise man wearing glasses, and he hesitated and said: "Mr. Clow?"

"Go, book all the restaurants behind the headquarters for me. First book the largest one so that the old man and I can have a place to eat. Then we will have a banquet for all the navy who can be ranked. The banquet will be held for seven days so that those who haven't arrived can be included. Time comes back. My old man celebrates his sixtieth birthday, and they must give him face."

"Birthday? Yes, I understand. I'll inform you right away." Crowe quickly replied.

"Well, call Cass and Wilbur over. Seven days is enough. If there are those who can't make it, it's okay. We can make up for it later." Qrow said, hung up the phone and continued to walk in. in.

It's the old man's birthday. It's a bit petty to just call his own faction, so it would be fun if everyone calls him over.

"Time flies so fast. Some of you can be regarded as grown up by me. Now you are over 40, and I am also [-]. I feel tired. Today's young people are terrible, but they are good. Yes, there is a young man who happens to be from our side."

When he entered, Kizaru was still talking, and this sentence made everyone focus on Kuro who had just entered.

In his eyes, there was relief, excitement, and admiration.

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

The lieutenant generals next to him were somewhat impressed. After all, Kuro was considered a new generation, but he had such an impressive record, which was very admirable.

The faces of the young major generals were full of excitement.

The navy is actually more arrogant than the pirates, especially the old-school navy. Among them, even Stoloberg, a veteran, is not convinced by everyone. Although he is very strong, he has so many achievements. In this regard, the records of many lieutenant generals are actually not much worse than Stoloberg.

But Kuro was different. If it was just about age, it would definitely not work.

Even if you are young and powerful, no one may be convinced.

Even if he is young, powerful and has such a terrifying record, there are still those who are dissatisfied.

But sp; but Kuro has the power!

Sword is not known to ordinary navy, but at their level, they know a little bit about it.

And the Shichibukai is known to everyone, and that power is the greatest power under Kuro.

As a candidate for the general of the headquarters, he has defeated many great pirates and possesses superb strength and power. He was favored by people from the beginning when he joined the Kizaru faction. Later, he was designated as the successor of the faction, and he will definitely be the successor in the future. The presence of a general.

This time, when General Kizaru said these words, he must be preparing to retire. As naval generals, they themselves had news. During this period, Kizaru deliberately downplayed himself, which gave them a signal.

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

No one was dissatisfied, and the young major generals were even more excited.

They also know Kuro's life well and know that this is a colleague who will not treat his subordinates badly. Once he takes office, their scope of activities and power will be much greater than before.

Only Kuro...

what am I doing?

Kuro came back behind Kizaru with a puzzled look on his face, looking puzzled at these people staring at him.

Isn't it normal for young people to say a few words of praise at this kind of meeting?

"Curo..."

Kizaru stood up with a smile, pointed to the main seat, and said, "Sit here."

"Shall I sit? Master, am I not suitable?" Qrow said.

He didn't have much to say. What he needed to say was already finished before the old man came. Wouldn't it be awkward to go up now?

Kizaru said nothing to this, just looked at him with a smile.

"sit down..."

Suddenly, Stoloberg said: "You can sit in this seat."

"Yes, sit down! Lieutenant General Kuro, you can sit down!"

"Yes, I agree!"

"Seconded!"

Following Stoloberg's words, the admirals below spoke out one by one.

"Brother, you must sit in this seat!" Zhan Taowan shouted loudly from behind.

"Whatever, I'll just sit down."

Kuro rolled his eyes and was not polite. He sat down on the main seat and picked up the microphone. "I said, today is the old man's birthday. What are you doing? Why don't you sit down? I will say what I should say." I’ve said it before, and I’ll remind you again, I don’t care how you dress or pose on weekdays, but on my birthday, at least you should dress like a serious person!”

"Especially you, Zhan Momowan, when the meeting is over, change my clothes immediately. If you don't have any clothes, go buy them. After the meeting today, if I see you wearing a bellyband again, your skin will be peeled off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up straight, gave a naval salute, and shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Stoloberg finally stood up, gave a slow naval salute, and said with a smile: "Yes."

Something felt on Kuro's shoulder. He looked back and saw Kizaru taking off his cloak and wrapping it around him. He then looked around at the people on the field, and finally focused on Kuro.

"Then, I will retire, and you will be the leader from now on, Kuro."

"?"

A big question mark appeared above Kuro's head, and then the question mark popped up violently like a derivative.

"???!!!"

Qrow's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide in disbelief.

"Retire, retire?!"
