“Go, go, go, why are you standing here? Get out of here and change your clothes!”

Kuro’s mind was in a mess. He looked at Battle Momomaru who was standing there and kicked him in the shin.

“Oh, I know, Big Brother, I will buy it now.”

Zhan Taowan scratched her head and was about to walk out.

“Wait, after you go out, help me look at the back of the Headquarters. When the time comes, go and cooperate with Crowe. I have booked all the restaurants at the back of the Headquarters. This time, you will be the reception.” Kuro said.

“Booked all the restaurants?”

Sentomaru thought about it and nodded heavily. “Okay, Big Brother!”

When he walked out of the door, he looked up at the sky and bared his teeth. “What? I still have to celebrate.”

As he watched Sentomaru leave, Kuro sat alone on the main seat. He leaned back and raised his head. The tip of the cigar in his mouth lit up and he breathed out a mouthful of smoke deeply. The smoke was like steam and dispersed in the sky.

He stared blankly at the smoke for a long time before cursing.

“F*ck!”

Shaking his head, Kuro turned on the Den Den Mushi on his wristwatch and dialed Crowe’s number.

“Come over. It’s in the big conference room on the old man’s side.”

“Yes, I know, Mr. Kuro.”

There was a quick response from the other side. After a while, Crowe walked in from the door of the conference field. However, as soon as he entered, his footsteps stopped and his forehead began to sweat.

Because right in front of the slightly large main seat, Kuro leaned back in his chair and leaned his head back to smoke. The steam-like smoke shrouded his face. Although people couldn’t see his expression, they could vaguely feel that… he was in a bad mood.

He had not seen Mr. Kuro maintain such a posture for a long time. The last time was when he was promoted to Vice-Admiral.

But this situation is not good for Crowe himself. He feels unlucky.

“Mr. Kuro, I’m here.” Crowe took a few steps forward and said carefully.

No answer.

Kuro was still smoking his cigar calmly.

Crowe pursed his lips and took two steps forward. “Mr. Kuro?”

Kuro glanced at him and smirked. “Why are you so far away from me?!”

“No, no, I’m moving forward.”

Crowe wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward.

“Is it done?” Kuro exhaled smoke and asked.

“Yes, I’ve already said it. The owners of those restaurants have agreed,” said Crowe. “I’m thinking about whether to try to lower the price as much as possible. After all, it will cost a lot.”

“No need.”

Kuro waved his hand. “It’s the old man’s birthday this time. Make the noodles for me and spend as much as you want. Also, come here!”

Crowe had no choice but to close his eyes and die!

He strode over and stood next to Kuro, pretending to listen.

Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said slowly, “In addition to the old man’s birthday, there is another explosive news. He has retired.”

He retreated?!

Crowe’s pupils shrank. After being stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

Doesn’t that mean…

“I’m taking over. If nothing goes wrong, I’ll probably be promoted to general.” Kuro said faintly.

The smile on Crowe’s lips widened and he almost grinned.

It has finally come to this!

Mr. Kuro has finally completed his plan!

Crowe didn’t say anything and let Kuro look at him. The corners of his mouth were strangely open, and even his white teeth were faintly visible.

This made Kuro frown and he said unhappily, “You seem happy?”

These words shocked Crowe. He had to restrain himself and continue to act with Mr. Kuro.

“I didn’t.” Crowe’s expression turned cold and he flatly denied it.

“You are clearly laughing!” Kuro said angrily.

“I just remembered something happy,” Crowe said seriously.

Kuro raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth. “You want to play this game with me? If you tell me that your wife gave birth, I will beat you up. You don’t have a wife!”

Crowe said nothing.

‘Is there such a thing?’

“Forget it, I don’t have time to be angry with you now. I called you here mainly to think about it. First of all, I have to take this position even if I don’t want to. Since the old man has retired, this class is mine and no one can take it away.”

Kuro bit his cigar and said, “But, can you think of a way to stop the old man from retreating? There is still a chance to save him.”

He still wanted to stop the old man from leaving.

Crowe thought for a moment and probed, “Why don’t we try to communicate with the higher-ups? I remember your relationship with Tenryubito…”

“Come on, tenryubito can’t affect this.”

Kuro suddenly waved his hand. “If they can affect this, then the Marine Corps will have long ceased to exist. Besides, how is my relationship with Tenryubito good? Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t want my grave to be picked off and hung on a street lamp one day.”

With that, he touched his chin and muttered, “Five Elder Stars? I’m not familiar with the Five Elder Stars, I don’t have a phone.”

How could Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) have a phone for them? Even the Admiral ran over personally. They only had their contacts and no one contacted them. They were high and mighty and did not give them their contact information.

Did he have to make a trip to Mariejois?

This is the old man’s birthday…

“Tsk, it’s not impossible.”

Kuro stood up and said to Crowe, “I asked Sentomaru to cooperate with you. Get everything done. I will go to Mariejois myself.”

He could fly, so he could still run to Mary Joa.

“I know, Mr. Kuro, I will finish it.” Crowe pushed up his glasses and vowed.

Kuro glared at him. “You can’t make a mistake on the old man’s birthday. Leave the people you can’t invite to me. I’ll personally invite him. It doesn’t matter if he retires or not. You have to do a good job on his birthday. If anything goes wrong, you’ll be in trouble!”

“Yes…” Crowe pursed his lips.

You asked him to do it. When has he ever done anything wrong?

Isn’t your biological grandfather’s birthday his own?

“Okay, go, I’ll go first.”

Kuro waved his hand and walked straight out of the conference room. His figure floated and he rushed into the air.

Crowe watched him disappear and was stunned for a while before he suddenly laughed.

“Hahaha…”

“Hahahahaha!”

Crowe’s eyes began to look a little ferocious and there was an excited smile on his lips. He took out Den Den Mushi from his arms and called David directly. When the other party picked up, he said:

“Mr. Kuro is going to be a general.”

… .

At this time, in the North Blue.

Dressrosa’s fleet is sailing at sea. In that ship, David watched Den Den Mushi slowly spit out a sentence and was stunned on the spot.

Then, his eyes gradually showed strong excitement!
