Chapter 537

What Does My Money Have to Do with Your Treat

In the past, in terms of status, Tina had the most potential.

The popular candidate to replace Crane’s faction is also more popular and popular in the Marine.

Smoker is a big trouble in itself. His character is too bad, and he does things his own way, causing no one to play with him.

At that time, Kuro was still low-key. Later on, after he entered the headquarters, only the higher-ups knew about it. At that time, Tina did not know Kuro’s strength.

Later, after getting along with him for a long time, he realized that this person was an old dog.

Kuro became completely famous when he defeated Ledfield. Only then did the entire Marine know that Admiral Kizaru had a young and powerful and terrifying Marine under his command.

Although time will fade a lot, the legend of Kuro is no longer spread on the sea.

But there was an impression inside the Marine.

Unlike Kirby, who relied on his cooperation with Law and was now known as the ‘Marine Hero of Loki Port’, but this reputation is mainly for the outside, because he is still active in the sea and actively dealing with pirates.

Kuro had been hiding in Sabaody Archipelago during this period of time, trying his best to downplay everything.

In addition, the world situation is so turbulent that most people in the outside world basically don’t mention this matter.

As long as he doesn’t cause trouble again.

But in terms of status, Kuro has the most prestige.

Steadily replacing Admiral Kizaru is the consensus of all Marines.

Kuzan has already left, and the new Admiral has also taken over, and the faction is also gradually fading. Most people have either transferred to Kizaru’s side or followed Garp closely, or they are playing their own game.

Sakasugi has not found a replacement for the time being. Although the faction is still there, there is no one with the exact strength.

Only Kizaru’s side is more stable.

The more stable it is, the more unshakable Kuro’s position in the Marine.

Tina did know. She knew a lot of Marine insider information, including ‘Lox’, which even young people don’t know.

Therefore, she understood the hidden power of this man who looked like a salted fish.

Similarly, those upper echelons of the Marine Corps who were thinking about the Dougreg Marine Brigade also understood that even Marshal Sakasugi had no intention of transferring this unit.

If the man in front of him didn’t agree to transfer, there was no other way.

“Transfer my troops?”

Kuro rolled his eyes. “What do you want? The Marines are all dead. Let Kaz stay in West Blue. The pirates in West Blue are not weak. Don’t you know that you are from West Blue?”

Transferring troops?

Who gets the credit for the transfer of troops?

Besides, although he doesn’t want to be famous, he can’t let others take advantage of him.

I didn’t know that he was the famous Little Prince of East Blue.

You want to transfer troops without any friendship?

Not even tenryubito can come.

“Tina doesn’t care about this, but Tina wants to borrow your troops,” Tina said.

“You can.”

Kuro relit a cigar and said, “You helped me so much, it’s not a problem to borrow a unit. Speaking of which, get me some more, the stock is gone.”

“Tina knows.”

Tina shook her head helplessly. “I’ll make some for you when I have time, but Kuro, you have to be careful. The higher-ups Tina said are investigating you are not a joke. It should be the World Government. Everyone knows your attitude towards CP.”

Luciru Kuro did not like CP and government officials. He was known to be a slightly more powerful Marine.

“What is there to investigate?”

Kuro leaned back and said indifferently, “I don’t steal, I don’t steal, I don’t steal, I don’t steal, and I shine for the cause of justice every day. Grandpa didn’t mention this to me, don’t worry.”

“It can’t be a promotion review, right?” Smoker suddenly said. “I have this before. After I was transferred to G-5, when I was promoted to Vice-Admiral, I was reviewed once.”

“Ha!”

Kuro laughed. “What stupid words are you talking about, Smoker? I don’t have any credit, and I don’t have any achievements. How can I be promoted just like that? Besides, if there is really a review, I should know about this. Now there is no news at all, how can it be a promotion?”

The promotion of a major general to a lieutenant general is a qualitative leap. It is not just a phone call or a Marshal telling you.

That was a real high-ranking Marine.

If he really wants to review it, he will get the news immediately because this matter concerns him.

“Yes?”

After thinking about it, Kuro looked at Koro uncertainly. “You haven’t been hiding anything from me recently, right?”

“No.”

Crowe shook his head decisively. “I didn’t get any similar information.”

“Really?”

Kuro’s eyes narrowed.

“Really.”

Crowe pushed up his glasses and a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead.

“Then why are you sweating?” Kuro asked suspiciously.

How can I not sweat when you look at me like that!

Crowe pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Kuro, there is really no news. Maybe CP has too deep an opinion of you and wants to find some dirt on you to attack you.”

“Yes?”

Kuro opened his eyes and said happily, “Isn’t that great… No, how about this, you send some of my rumors over later, I want to see what CP wants to do to me.”

It didn’t matter what he did. He would give CP whatever they wanted.

Anyway, he couldn’t leave Marine.

If he really got it, he would immediately bring the flower basket to thank CP.

Good man!

“I understand, Mr. Kuro…”

Crowe nodded, even a little excited. “I will do it.”

Is there a need to spread rumors about this?

Ironclad evidence!

Do whatever he wants.

Disobeying orders.

Raising a gang.

Killing the innocent.

Abuse of subordinates!

Abuse of subordinates!

Abuse of subordinates!

Important things are said three times.

If he wanted dirt, he could say 100 times without repeating it.

‘You think you’re different from Smoker?’

Smoker is not as prickly as you.

You just have your back against the mountain, otherwise, otherwise…

There seems to be no other way…

But if there was a chance to openly complain about his superior, Crowe would naturally seize it.

“Okay, you’ve eaten enough, let’s go. I’m going to find the old man. You should report your work and go shopping.”

Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Kuro clapped his hands. “Boss, come in and pay the bill!”

The owner of the barbecue restaurant seemed to be outside the door. As soon as he heard the voice, he immediately walked over, rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile, “Thank you, everyone, a total of 560,000 Berries.”

This place is considered high-end, so the price is naturally very high.

“Find him.”

Kuro pointed at Smoker and stood up to leave.

“?”

A few question marks appeared on Smoker’s head and a vein appeared on his forehead. “Hey, Kuro! Didn’t you say you were rich!”

“What does my money have to do with your treat?”

Kuro waved his hand and said, “You are a Vice-Admiral and your official position is higher than ours. Isn’t it normal for your superior to treat you? Do you want me, a Rear Admiral, to treat you? It doesn’t make sense, Smoker.”
