Admiral, the highest-ranking naval officer under the World Government.

Borsalino's departure, replaced by Kuro, caused an uproar throughout the world.

As the largest hegemon on the high seas, its movements are naturally watched by major powers around the world.

The two generals who rose to prominence after Sengoku's retirement and Sakazuki's appointment, along with Aokiji's departure and the World Military Draft, are well-known for their deeds.

And this time is no different, with a new general in charge, which has also attracted worldwide attention.

Meanwhile, some pirates also began to live in fear.

Kinni is different from his predecessor. Although the previous admiral, Kizaru, was also an admiral, he was not one to pursue things to the end. Some pirates who encountered him would simply run away if they wanted to. But Kinni is said to have very few subordinates who would run away. Those who encounter him usually end up at sea.

Unlike the newly appointed admirals Fujitora and Green Bull, many people have never seen their actual combat strength or heard of their achievements. But this Golden Lion's achievements are all undeniably formidable. If he were to become an admiral now, life would be even more difficult for these pirates!

Meanwhile, on a mountaintop atop one of the islands along the Grand Line, a figure, reading a new newspaper, grinned, revealing a menacing expression and gleaming white teeth. "Borusalino..."

...

While many pirates were feeling uneasy about Golden Lion's ascension to power, at headquarters, in the newly established Admiral's office, Kuro sat in the main seat, glanced at the plaque hanging above that read "Safe Justice," and raised an eyebrow, saying, "This calligraphy doesn't feel right..."

The seven-day banquet was long over. People gave gifts, ate, and then went back to their respective places, as if nothing had happened.

Kuro was promoted to general, and his new office was quickly set up. The old office plaque was replaced with a new one by the famous calligrapher, Sengoku.

Yes, this old fellow personally wrote a plaque for him. His calligraphy from the Warring States period was quite good; he's loved practicing it since he was a child.

But Kuro couldn't understand why it was so strange. He couldn't sleep no matter what he looked at it, and after tossing and turning, he finally saw the 'domineering' power in those five words!

The actions of people in the Warring States period were inherently domineering; they were acting with the righteousness of "ruling the world," and their writing naturally carried that flavor.

Kuro wanted a timid, safe font, like the old man's casual style, but with a touch of his own personality. However, when Sengoku wrote it, the word "safe" looked more like the style of "I'll be safe if you kill me," which was a bit awkward.

At that moment, in the office, Kizaru sat at one end of the sofa, sipping tea and chuckling, "Isn't it beautiful? Sengoku-san rarely writes for others, you know."

"It's written in a very domineering style, which is different from my own... Oh well, it's a well-intentioned thing, so I'll just use it as is. I can't find anyone with a higher level of influence than him."

Kuro lit a cigar and looked at Kizaru. "Old man, what are you going to do next? Are you really going to take a break at my Pegasus Island? You seem to have a lot of free time. If you are, help me manage the surrounding area. You know, pirates are like weeds. If you don't clean them up for a while, they will grow back. We need to take good care of them."

"I'm retired this time, so I don't get involved in this kind of thing," Kizaru said with a shrug.

"Come on, you're just the chief inspector now, I'm the general."

Kuro said smugly, "The general has spoken, so you must carry it out. Go on a trip."

Hey!

Being a general isn't without its advantages; at least now he's the one directing others. Before, the old man always made him do everything, but now the tables have turned, and he finally has a chance to get revenge!

"Just became an admiral and already bossing around your old superior? How terrifying, Kuro," Kizaru said, pouting and raising an eyebrow.

"It's settled then. I don't care what you do after you're done. Just help me weed, it'll be easy." Kuro laughed and joked, "If you really don't know what to do, you can become a kindergarten principal. There are so many orphans in the world, you won't have nothing better to do."

"Kindergarten? Orphanage?" Kizaru's eyes widened, and he gave Kuro a meaningful look. "Is this your idea?"

"Huh? What's your idea?" Kuro was a little stunned.

This old man, after all, had the air of a PPAP cosplayer and the principal of a certain Futaba Kindergarten. He just casually made a comment; he didn't really have any ulterior motives and it was purely a joke.

"Well, I understand."

Kizaru finished his tea and sighed, "Ah, being an admiral really changes things. Now he has to order this old man around."

"How about you take back your general's position? It might look bad, but I'll risk my reputation to talk to the Five Elders. I don't mind; I can go back to being a lieutenant general and work under you." Kuro said with great anticipation.

Kizaru shrugged, glanced at Kuro with a smile, and walked outside.

Stepping outside, Kizaru glanced at the sky, a smirk playing on his lips. "Kindergarten, huh..."

"Kizaru-sama, Inspector General."

Just then, Kuro arrived at the door, saw Kizaru, and greeted him.

Kuro originally intended to call him Admiral, but he quickly realized that Kizaru was no longer an Admiral.

"Oh~ Kuro, you don't need to call me Kizaru anymore, just call me by my real name. I've retired." Kizaru laughed.

“Yes, Huang… Inspector General Borsalino.” Kro stood up straight, not daring to be disrespectful.

In terms of position, Kuro's rank as vice admiral certainly gives him more real power than Kizaru's rank as chief inspector, but that's not the right way to put it.
