Chapter 542
After learning that he was completely hopeless, Kuro sat on the chair like a stone puppet. The other Marines thought that Kuro was too happy and did not care much about it. They left one by one.
An hour later, Leda, who had not waited for Kuro, came with Cass and Crowe.
“Mr. Kuro!!!”
As soon as he reached the door, Kaz made an excited sound. The sound made Kuro’s eyes, which seemed to have been played, fluctuate a little.
“Kuro, what’s wrong?”
Looking at Kuro sitting there in a daze, Leda walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s okay, it’s just a promotion, it’s not a big problem.”
Of course, she knew why Kuro became like this. This monster who did not want to be promoted had finally been skinned.
“Mr. Kuro…”
Crowe also advised, “We still have a way to remedy this.”
“Chloe…”
As soon as Crowe finished speaking, Kuro said, “Come here.”
These words made Crowe’s eyes twitch.
He seemed to see a big red word “Danger” flashing on Kuro’s head.
However, he could not disobey the orders of his superior. He swallowed his saliva and took a step forward boldly.
Crowe swore he really did take one step.
Kuro, who was in front of him, turned into a black shadow and jumped up. He came directly to him and grabbed his neck with both hands and shook him violently.
“You tell me how to make up for it!!!”
Kuro roared with a ferocious expression, “I’m really going to get a Coffin Ship!!!”
“Kuh, Mr. Kuro… can’t breathe.”
Crowe’s eyes rolled back and he patted Kuro’s hand in pain.
“F*ck!”
Kuro let go of Crowe, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. “Do you know how much psychological damage I have suffered? You don’t know! You only know yourself! Vice-Admiral! And you’re a fucking General Substitute, and you even have a code name. You even have a fucking code name!”
“Jin Lu, do you know that Jin Lu is quite compatible with me!”
“I usually let you think of ideas for me, but you are either slacking or greeting people. At the critical moment, you are useless. When I met you, I was a f*cking warrant officer. Now I am a lieutenant general! A lieutenant general!!” Kuro roared.
“You are in Incompetent Fury again, Kuro,” Leda said with disdain.
“Shut up, Lida! You too! I met you earlier, and I was a Cao! Now! Now!! You can test me!”
“Barbecue? Where?” Leda looked around.
Kuro was speechless.
Are you infected by the polonium!
Kaz, the only one who didn’t understand Kuro’s true thoughts, just watched in a daze.
Why was Mr. Kuro so angry?
Wasn’t it worth being happy that he became a Vice-Admiral?
And why are the words spoken so ironic…
Defeating Golden Lion, defeating Ledfield, defeating Bundy Walde. These famous pirates are all Mr. Kuro’s resume. This is the honor he should enjoy. Why is he so angry?
Wait …
Kaz looked at Kuro and his eyes began to water inexplicably. He reached out and wiped his tears with his sleeve. “Yes, yes, I understand, Mr. Kuro. I understand you completely!”
Kaz’s inexplicable crying made Kuro’s angry expression disappear and he looked at him strangely. “What do you know?”
“Mr. Kuro, you shouldn’t have been promoted,” Kaz said excitedly.
Kuro opened his eyes and looked at Kaz in surprise.
“You really understand?” Kuro asked.
“Yes!”
Kaz nodded vigorously. “Mr. Kuro, you shouldn’t have been promoted to lieutenant general. In this situation, it’s best not to be promoted.”
He actually understood it?!
He actually understood it!
Kaz’s words made Kuro lean back and even his anger lessened.
How rare!
After such a long time, the bearded man finally understood his thoughts!
“It’s good that you understand!”
Kuro lamented, “I shouldn’t have been promoted. How can I face people in the future!”
“Wuwuwu, Mr. Kuro, I completely understand you!”
Cass couldn’t even stop the tears in her eyes. She raised her head and burst into tears. “This is too tragic and sad. I completely understand you, Mr. Kuro!!!”
“Stop, don’t cry.”
Kuro said with a headache, “Why are you crying?”
“I shouldn’t have been promoted to Vice-Admiral!”
Cass burst into tears. “In that case, Mr. Kuro, your ambition won’t reach!”
Yoho!
You even know about my ambition?!
Kuro’s eyes widened in disbelief.
It’s not easy!
Such a headache, I finally understand his intentions.
Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, he has been with me for so long. Although Cass scams me from time to time, he might be enlightened. Look at what he said, it suits me.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Looking at Kaz crying, Kuro didn’t have the mood to be angry anymore. Instead, he comforted him, “It’s just a promotion to Lieutenant General, it’s not a big problem. As long as you understand me, we can work together and sooner or later my ambition will be realized.”
“Look at it…”
He walked to the chair and pulled it off, breaking one of the chair legs in front of Kaz. “A log can be broken easily.”
Then, he dismantled the chair that was missing a leg and another chair. He put a few chair legs together and said:
“A pile of wood is not so easy to break, right, Leda?”
He handed the chair leg to her. She took it, glanced at it, and folded her hands.
Smack!!
Leda held the broken chair legs and said to Kuro:
“Ah? What did you say?”
Kuro was speechless.
I’m asking you to help me act!
Why are you so honest?
Kuro glared at Leda, coughed lightly, and said to Kaz:
“In short, as long as we unite, the problems later on won’t be big and can be solved. Don’t cry, you’re a man and it’s embarrassing to cry all the time. I haven’t cried much in my life.”
Other than the death of his parents in this world, he had never cried.
Kaz listened to Kuro and held back his tears. His eyes were red as he said, “I hate myself for not being by Mr. Kuro’s side and being unable to share his pain! No, I have to report to Headquarters!”
“Forget it, forget it. What’s the use of telling me? The old man hid this from me. What can you do? Let’s leave it at that, Vice-Admiral.”
Kuro waved his hand helplessly. “Go back and prepare. Maybe I will transfer you back.”
If he becomes a Vice-Admiral, there is a high chance that he will be transferred to the New World. At that time, he will have to consider his safety.
The more people there are, the more security there is.
“Really?! I can be under Mr. Kuro?!”
Kaz’s eyes widened and joy filled his eyes. He subconsciously saluted and said, “Mr. Kuro, I will always wait for your order!”
The fact that Kaz could say those words meant that he really understood.
His ambition to not be promoted and to be safe.
Then there would be no problem in transferring him over.
Kaz wiped his tears, his eyes hard.
Those merits are actually just a Lieutenant General?!
Even if he is a reserve general, he is not a general!
Why is Mr. Kuro so angry? It must be because he thinks that he can be promoted to a general, but there is only one Vice-Admiral position!
This is too sad!
Kaz mourned for Kuro and for himself!
At such an important node, he could not help at all!
But …
But!
“I will definitely achieve your ambition, Mr. Kuro!!!” Kaz shouted.
I, Cass, will risk my life to let Mr. Kuro complete his ambition to become a general. I will never let Mr. Kuro have such anger again!
