Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire Chapter 576

Chapter 576

Marine (1)
The Battleship gradually entered the port and stopped. As the Battleship anchored, a staircase fell from the empty space beside the Battleship.
Step …
Kuro stepped on the stairs, bit his cigar, and slowly walked down.
Leda and Crowe came down from above with a group of Marines.
“Yo, Smoker, Daski, long time no see.”
Kuro greeted the two of them and took a cigar from the chest of his jacket.
“Ah, Vice-Admiral Kuro, long time no see,” Tashigi said politely.
“Hey, bastard! When will you change your bad habit!” Smoker glared at Kuro.
“Ah… Sorry, it’s convenient.”
Kuro stuffed the cigar into his arms without any apology. “So, Headquarters asked me to look for you. I have arrived. Now tell me what you found.”
The intelligence was spread by Smoker, the suspicious points were discovered by Smoker, and the order to request Headquarters for support was also secretly applied by Smoker.
If he didn’t look for Smoker, who could he look for?
“This is not the place to talk. Go to my office,” Smoker glanced at his subordinates and said.
“Okay, let’s go…”
Kuro nodded and prepared to follow Smoker to his office.
“Hey, are you leaving just like that? Are you ignoring us?”
Suddenly, a voice came from the group of G-5 Marines. A strong man grinned and said to Kuro word by word, “Vice Admiral Kim.”
“Hey, you!”
Tashigi said angrily, “Lieutenant General Kuro and Mr. Smoker have something to talk about. Don’t make trouble.”
These words softened the fierce Marines instantly. They stuck out their tongues and their eyes turned into hearts. “Ah… Miss Tashigi is so cute today.”
“Miss Tashigi, I love you!”
“Miss Tashigi, marry me!”
“You…”
Tashigi adjusted her glasses and said, “Don’t make trouble. Also, how many times have I told you, call me Colonel Tashigi!”
“Okay, Miss Tashigi.”
“Understood, Miss Tashigi.”
The G-5 Marines spoke one after another. The burly man who spoke first took a step forward and stood in front of Kuro. He was about the same height as Kuro, but he was several levels stronger than him. His arms were bent and his muscles bulged as he looked Kuro up and down.
“Is such a thin person qualified to supervise us? Hey, let me tell you, don’t be a busybody. We G-5 Marines always have our own reasons!”
Kuro looked indifferent and looked at Smoker on the other side. “Smoker?”
Smoker blew out a mouthful of smoke and said seriously, “Hey, Dakin, go away. This is not someone you can deter.”
“But Vice-Admiral Smoker, he wants to investigate us. We are trash in the Marine. What is there to investigate? It is obvious that Headquarters wants to find trouble with us!”
The man named Dakin cried out: “We are the most heroic Marines. It’s fine if we don’t get praise for what we have done, but why are we still being supervised! This is too unfair! I don’t care about gold and silver, we will not do such a thing! If we don’t get entangled by you, then let us be convinced!”
Kuro stared at him and said, “Smoker, your subordinate?”
“Yes…”
Smoker sighed. “Be gentle. They are… good people.”
Kuro nodded. “I can sense a little. His heart is not bad, but he doesn’t do things properly… Koro.”
“Yes!”
Whoosh!
With a shout, Crowe’s body disappeared, turning into a shadow that flashed across these Marines. With a crackling sound, Crowe appeared behind the G-5 Marines, one hand attached to the side, and the other hand pushed up his glasses with the base of his palm. Light flickered in the lenses, as if he was despising the strength of these Marines.
Plop!
Plop!
Plop!
With a series of sounds, the Marines fell to the ground one after another, either holding their stomachs, touching their chests, or pressing their legs. All of them looked in pain.
“You bastard!”
The guy named Dakin stood up, gritted his teeth and stared at Crowe. He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.
Boom!!
At this moment, his body trembled and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably. Cold sweat fell from his forehead like rain.
He was not the only one. The Marines who had fallen to the ground stopped making noise. They lowered their heads and did not dare to move. On a closer look, their bodies were shaking.
Killing intent!
“I must have a reason for coming to supervise.”
Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said lightly, “I’m not interested in what you’ve done, but there are a few things I have to say. As a Marine, it’s not good if you don’t stand, sit, or sit. Why? Have you given up on yourself after being treated as scum and then sent here? What about the posture you learned in Marine? Have you forgotten it all?”
“Also, as Marines, where are your uniforms, above the rank of lieutenant, your capes, and what are you wearing? Those who know that this is Marine Base G-5, those who don’t know will think that it is a circus.”
Kuro was not lying. He had been a Marine for so many years and had never seen such a bad Marine posture.
In the past, in East Blue, Kaz was there. Putting aside the strength of his subordinates, his posture was beautiful.
After reaching Headquarters, Headquarters’ Marine posture is not bad.
After that, Kaz came for a while. After that, in Sabaody, Wilbur was in charge of training Marines. Their posture seemed to be no worse than Kaz’s. I don’t know why.
His impression of Kaz’s training method is unique.
Maybe it’s a coincidence…
In short, Kuro’s etiquette towards Marines has long been raised.
Even if the Marine Admiral Colonel is leading the team alone, he can ignore the leader and the adjutant, but if they stand together, there must be a posture. That way, they will look comfortable and dignified.
As for Smoker’s subordinates, what are they?
If Kenbonshoku (Observation) didn’t faintly sense that they didn’t have much malice and were more depressed, plus Marine’s identity is here and Smoker faction’s identity is here, he would have done it long ago.
Even if he did not do it, he had to give Smoker some face.
After all, Smoker was his good friend.
As for G-5, he asked Crowe to organize the information before coming and he roughly understood a little.
Smoker must have come here as a Vice-Admiral for the subsequent management.
G-5 Marine, under his management, now has part of his faction, but most of it is local base chief Virgo Faction.
And these factions that belong to Smoker also have the mentality of leaning towards Virgo.
After all, he is the Base Chief, which is normal.
Smoker, who wanted to be transferred here willfully, was called “troublemaker” in their orthodox faction.
Even if that was not Smoker’s goal.
It was strange that Virgo could tolerate him until now.
If it were any other Vice-Admiral, they would have long found an excuse to send him out and let him go to another base to be their base commander.
However, Vergo belonged to the fringe faction and usually did not make much noise. In addition, the Aokiji faction still had power now, so no one cared.
But no matter which one Smoker’s purpose is, his coming here is a signal. It is rare that his subordinates can still disobey his orders after such a long time.
That was why Kuro said that Smoker’s leadership was not good.
