Chapter 1077: I Don’t Agree!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
These five old men had map scars on their heads and huge mustaches.
There was an old man with curly hair and a big beard.
There was also a long-haired old man with a straight beard, and an old man with blond hair and red skin, but his hairstyle and beard looked quite normal.
There was also the old man with the knife who had a bright head and the sunlight coming from the window could cause a reflective phenomenon with his head.
They were all old men, but he could not let Kuro underestimate them.
Who is the most powerful person in this world?
‘General?’
‘King?’
Is it Yonkō (Four Emperors) who obtained the strength of the regional tyrant?
Or is it the Pirate King who obtained freedom?
This is hard to say, but it is undeniable that the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) of the World Government must be the top group of these power structures. They are the supreme leaders of the World Government and are the top group of people who can decide the movements of the world.
Rather than saying that the subordinate agencies of the World Government are Marine, CP, and Shichibukai, it is better to say that they are the subordinate agencies of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars).
Even if Shichibukai is now under Kuro’s command, in name, he is still the Seven Warlords of the Sea and still belongs to the flag of the Five Elder Stars.
And these old men who control all the power are the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars)!
Kuro looked at the five old men for a moment before nodding. “I am Kuro.”
The curly-haired old man nodded. “I’ve always wanted to see you, Luciru Kuro. I didn’t expect you to find us first.”
The red-skinned old man said, “But we are very busy. Your time is limited.”
The long-bearded old man said, “Yes, it is because of you that we have time to gather and listen to you. I hope you have good words.”
The old man with the map nodded, and the old man with the knife hugged the knife in his arms tightly.
Kuro subconsciously crossed his arms and bit his cigar.
“Well, I don’t agree…”
Before he could finish speaking, the five old men glared at Kuro.
But then he realized it was Kuro, not Sakasugi.
Kuro also felt a little strange. He was only halfway through his sentence. Why are these five old men staring at him? And he felt that he was lacking a Marine hat or something when he said this…
But soon, he reacted and continued, “I don’t agree with Admiral Kizaru’s retreat. He is so young. If he retreats now, will he let go of an important combat force? I don’t care, I’m not in a hurry to be promoted to Admiral. I can wait for a long time, really, really wait for a long time!”
He could wait for a lifetime. He really didn’t care. If it weren’t for the position of the successor of the faction, he wouldn’t even want to fight for it.
The only chance to save it now is for Gorōsei to disagree.
The old man’s relationship is not like Garp’s, there are many kinds of retirement, there are those who take the blame, such as Sengoku.
Someone has to take the blame for the losses of the war. He already had the intention to retreat and wanted to kill his old enemy, Whitebeard, in one battle before retreating. Now that he has completed his mission, he has also taken the blame.
This was because Sengoku knew that no one else could do it. He was the person in charge of the Marine at that time, and no one could take the blame better than him.
This is taking the blame and retreating.
And falling out.
Garp was this kind of person. Although he had a lot of credit, and the battle of the Valley of God and the battle of Roger the Pirate King had become his amulet, it did not mean that he could not fall out.
Son is Revolutionary Army, dedicated to overthrowing the World Government, although they claim to only want to deal with tenryubito…
But what’s the difference between the two?!
The current World Government and Tenryubito are inseparable.
Grandson… One of Cap’s two grandsons was Roger’s son, who was even tried by Whitebeard as a successor and died in the War Of The Best. Half of the credit goes to Kuro for the successful execution.
The other is his own grandson, wanting to be Roger…
What he did was the biggest. All the big trouble so far was caused by this person.
After that, Garp also took his leave. It was purely because it was too much. That straw hat kid rampaged on the battlefield. At that time, how many Marines gave Garp face, even the old man gave him face, and he didn’t kill him.
Otherwise, in that state, he might be able to deal with a few Vice-Admiral, but he would definitely not be able to deal with more than a dozen Vice-Admiral. Moreover, he would not be able to stop those elite Vice-Admiral.
This matter was too loose. The only person who did not go easy was Sakasugi, and coincidentally, Sakasugi was promoted to Marshal…
With the two added together, Garp had no choice but to retreat. Besides, after Ace died and Luffy’s death did not change, Garp had lost his motivation and seemed to be tired, so he simply let go.
Ace’s matter has already caused him to fall out with the World Government. He is just a careless person who doesn’t care, while the World Government is still concerned about the issue of face and previous merits.
That achievement is too great, so great that the World Government can treat Straw Hat as an ordinary pirate.
After all, there are so many pirates in this world, and they have never heard of anyone who dares to make a scene in the first half of the game. Straw Hat is the first.
If it were any other ordinary pirate, let alone being caught, the grass on their grave would have been several meters tall.
But Sengoku and Karp have other reasons, but the old man is not!
The old man always carried out orders in major matters. Although he didn’t know which step it would take, he carried out all the orders of the World Government. Unlike Sakasugi, he didn’t directly attack those who didn’t like him.
The old man may not have contributed much, but this is not a reason for the World Government to think that he is wrong. In fact, this is not even a reason. Even if the old man wants to withdraw, it is a very normal withdrawal because of his age or other factors.
Like Kong before Sengoku, he was promoted from Marine Marshal to Three-Armed Marshal. Although in Kuro’s opinion, this position is useless, it is still a promotion.
The old man would either rise or wait for time to fall.
It’s too early. It doesn’t make sense!
The five old men looked at each other, and the long-bearded old man said to Kuro: “You think that Polusalino should not retreat now?”
“Yes, we should not retreat.” Kuro nodded.
The Map Elder said, “You have to know one thing, Lucilu Kuro, if Polusalino steps down, you will be the new general.”
Sure enough …
Kuro bit his cigar harder.
These five old men really think so!
“Yes, Admiral…”
The red-skinned old man said in a deep voice, “I remember that you are not yet 30 years old. We have never seen a general who is not 30 years old. Even Kuzan was not so young to become a general.”
