Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire Chapter 1073: Give Me a Chance!

Chapter 1073: Give Me a Chance!

Retired?
Why did he retire just like that?!
Kuro’s pupils shook violently and he stood up and said loudly, “Grandpa, why did you retreat?! It shouldn’t be, you are in your prime!”
“Oh, this is the decision of the higher-ups. I also feel that my energy has been insufficient recently.” Kizaru said with a smile.
“Impossible!”
Kuro flatly denied, “This is absolutely impossible. How can the higher-ups let you go?! I absolutely don’t believe it!”
Kizaru smiled and said, “Well, it’s not a matter of whether you believe it or not. It’s just that it’s stipulated by the higher-ups. I have already decided to withdraw. As for who will take over, Kuro, you have to be prepared.”
“Wait, wait…”
Kuro’s head was a little numb. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about whether you will step down or not. I shouldn’t sit in this position now. There are so many qualified people. Look at Brother Stolobelli, I think he is suitable.”
Being a general is absolutely impossible!
“I can’t, Kuro, you are the most qualified.” Strawberry refused directly.
“Then I can’t either. If I really can’t, I can choose… Forget it, forget I said it.” Kuro pursed his lips.
He wanted to say that there were still two Great Generals in reserve, but he quickly realized that he was talking about the successor of Kizaru’s faction. How could this faction be interfered by outsiders?
Although Brother Jiji is quite compatible with them, they are not his faction after all.
But what’s a little numb now is that although the successor and the position of Admiral don’t conflict, it doesn’t mean that they can’t unite, because Kuro knows very well that he is also a candidate for Admiral, once the old man comes down…
“Is there no other way?” Kuro still did not give up.
Kizaru chuckled and nodded. “No, Kuro.”
“Can’t give me a chance?” Kuro gritted his teeth.
“What opportunity?” Kizaru asked.
“I don’t want to be a general.”
“You can’t say this to me, you have to say it to the higher-ups.”
“I want to be a good Vice-Admiral,” Kuro said. “I just want to be a good Vice-Admiral.”
“Well, I can’t choose.”
Kizaru chuckled as he reached out and pressed Kuro’s shoulder back into his seat.
“In short, the higher-ups have decided to let me retreat, so only you can take over.”
“I’m not convinced!”
Kuro straightened his neck and shouted, “Old man, you have contributed to the government and shed blood for the Marine. How can you retreat just like that? You want to see Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars)!”
“I have already seen it and recommended you, don’t worry.”
After forcing Kuro to sit down, Kizaru patted him on the shoulder and said, “Anyway, everything is in your hands now.”
Kuro opened his eyes and looked at him for a long time before saying in a daze, “So, you have already retreated, and because of this, you didn’t wear the cloak?”
Kizaru smiled. “Well, I will have a new cloak. The previous cloak is not suitable. Now, I will leave it to you.”
“I…”
Kuro looked into Kizaru’s eyes and turned to look at the expectant people. He opened his mouth and was speechless.
“I’ll go out first. It’s not suitable to stay here now.”
Kizaru said again, shrugged and left the venue.
Kuro, on the other hand, stared blankly at the people in the venue, his head in a mess.
This day finally came.
Kuro knew that as a general candidate, once the old man retired, he would definitely have to take over. Although he didn’t want to take over, he didn’t need to think to know that as the most powerful old tradition of the three general candidates, he would be the general.
The faction will not allow others to occupy this position. After all, this is different from Aokiji’s voluntary withdrawal and Akainu’s promotion to Marshal.
One faction was almost disbanded, and the other developed to a higher level.
The old man’s branch, as an old Marine, will not allow the last Admiral position to be occupied by World conscripts. Kizaru’s faction will not let others occupy this Admiral position, and Sakasugi will also consider their faction.
In other words, from the day he took over Kizaru’s faction and turned the Monkey Sect into a Fish Sect, he would be a general.
But …
Why is it so fast!
He couldn’t just wait for more than ten years and wait for the old man to settle down before he came up. This is fine too. When the time comes, he can find a suitable successor and stay here for a few years. He can also use this as an excuse to retire smoothly.
It’s too fast now. He’s not even 30 years old. He’s only 27 years old!
The faction leader was easy to deal with, but when he thought of the general, he felt suffocated.
“I, I need to calm down…”
Seeing so many people here, Kuro pursed his lips and waved his hand. Then, he crossed his hands and covered his mouth. He said in a deep voice, “You guys go out first.”
Strawberry got up first and walked out.
The remaining generals gradually dispersed and left.
“Big brother?”
Seeing that Kuro’s expression was not right, he walked over and asked, “Are you too excited? To be honest, I am too. The old man actually announced his retirement today. You will be a great general in the future.”
**TIP**
As soon as he said that, Kuro stood up and slapped the back of his head.
“General! I’ll let you be a general! Let you be a general! Is it so easy to be a general? Will it be me?! Don’t be too complacent!”
Kuro cursed a few times and felt a little breathless. He held his chest and took a few deep breaths. Trembling, he took out a cigar and lit it.
Sentomaru covered the back of his head and stood at the side aggrievedly, not quite understanding how he had provoked Kuro again.
He suddenly thought of something and said, “Big Brother, don’t worry. Vice-Admiral Tokikake and Vice-Admiral Momousagi can’t compete with you, and they won’t compete with you. You must be a great general.”
“Yes! I know! That’s what’s scary!” Kuro glared at Battle Peach Maru. “Don’t mention it!”
Kuro knew that Jiji and Jiyuan could not compete with him. First of all, the old man had retired and there was a successor. Secondly, the personalities of these two people would not compete with him. In other words, it was certain that he would become a general.
Even if I force Kazumi to compete with him, I won’t be able to win.
Right now, he is not alone. He is responsible for the expectations of the entire faction. He has to fight for the position of a general even if he doesn’t want to. Even if someone really wants to fight with him, he can’t let go of this position!
This is the worst!
His current situation is like clapping for love. He clearly wants to take a little longer, but due to the time constraints, the entire faction is too comfortable. He can’t control it at all.
Then he could only pour out his energy.
