Mr. Kuro's words must have a deeper meaning; having just become a general, he's bound to have things to do.
Kuro can handle some routine administrative matters, but when it comes to the big picture, it's always Mr. Kuro who makes the decisions.
Something's not right here; the signals coming from here are incorrect!
Kindergarten orphanages do exist, but there's no specific policy in place. After all, people in cities and towns tend to help support these orphans; the people are generally kind and honest.
The navy also has quite a few.
Navy personnel are not immune to sacrifice. Some of these sailors lose their wives and children, leaving them with only a small child. These individuals are scattered all over the world, and nobody cares about them.
The World Government doesn't have the guts to think of this; usually, it's their colleagues who take care of them. But how long can their colleagues keep an eye on them? They themselves are fighting on the high seas, so those orphans become a problem. They are all descendants of naval officers, yet they live a miserable life and might even have to pay taxes to the local kingdoms.
And now Mr. Kuro is saying such things...
Kro's eyes sharpened for a moment, then he suddenly realized.
Is this the first thing a general should do?
If those helpless orphans are gathered together and cared for in various places, they will become ready-made naval reserves. Even if they cannot become combatants, they can work as waiters, chefs, or logistics personnel. Even if they do nothing, they will naturally stand on the side of the navy.
No! We're on Mr. Kuro's side!
Simply put, if Mr. Kuro were on the Navy's side, he certainly wouldn't have said such a thing, nor would he have entrusted Inspector Borsalino with it... No! That's not right!
Borsalino is just a front, something that's only public knowledge. The old man must know about it, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically reminded me. He might be trying to put on a show for the 'Navy' to support orphans, but who these people ultimately pledge allegiance to is self-evident.
Mr. Kuro is a man with great ambitions and aspirations. Beneath his casual demeanor, every move he makes is full of profound meaning.
Kuro nodded emphatically. "I understand, Admiral Kuro..."
"Just call me 'sir' instead. I feel awkward with the word 'general'." Kuro waved his hand and then exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Yes, Mr. Kuro!"
Kuro felt a little awkward. He was used to calling Kuro "Mr. Kuro," but since Kuro had been promoted to general, Kuro thought he should change his address. Now it seemed that it was best not to change it.
"You go about your business. The old man's affairs are simple and won't be too troublesome. Just take care of yourself." Kuro waved his hand.
Just mind your own business...
Kro narrowed his eyes and nodded.
Sure enough, the position of Grand Inspector Borsalino was just a facade; what they really wanted to do was cultivate their own talent.
Mr. Kuro is now an admiral and has the authority to do so. He doesn't even need to worry about funding himself. The Navy is very wealthy and doesn't need to report to higher authorities. He can just ask the World Government for more funding.
Even if the matter is exposed, it can be said that it is for the benefit of the navy and to cultivate the future.
This is much larger than Admiral Zephyr's previous training camp; it's now a training camp for the entire Navy!
The cycle is long, but the rewards are huge!
But Kro wouldn't let this get out so quickly. He thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Shouldn't we find an island specifically to be used as a place to raise those orphans?"
"What are you looking for an island for? What do you want to do?" Kuro was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and punched his right hand with his left fist. "Ah! That's right!"
He's not stupid; he understands things immediately.
As soon as Kro mentioned looking for an island, he immediately realized that this place could be turned into a training ground for future naval forces!
Pirates are basically born from people who can't make ends meet, or those who grow up in problematic environments.
Take the Straw Hat Pirates as an example. That spiky Straw Hat didn't get much love when he was a kid. If Garp had kept him by his side all the time, do you think he would have become a pirate? It's because Shanks instilled his values in him beforehand that he became a pirate.
Similarly, Ace would definitely have been a Marine if he had been thrown into the Marines instead of the bandits!
It's not just pirates who have dreams, the Marines do too!
The navy's heroic battles against pirates to protect the people happen all the time on the high seas. People like that can easily form their values just by observing them anywhere.
Does that mean the world's greatest swordsman, including that green-haired guy, has a conflict with being a Marine? Absolutely not!
Is there a conflict between being a good cook and being a navy officer?
Is there a conflict between being a sea warrior and being a naval officer?
Is there a conflict between being the best navigator and being a naval officer?
Is there a conflict between being a good doctor and being a naval officer?
Or should I just be a historian...
Forget it, this thing is contradictory. The higher-ups don't allow it. Even the Warring States period might not know what that blank century was. They were terrified of it every day, and would turn pale at the sight of others talking about it.
But in reality, many people in the Navy aren't interested in this thing. Their duty is to deal with pirates. What does a hundred years matter? The key to One Piece is still in their hands.
Therefore, being the Pirate King and being a Marine are not mutually exclusive!
Kuro himself is the closest to the Pirate King's throne!
Perhaps if we raise so many orphans, some will inevitably slip through the net and become pirates, but if sixty out of a hundred become marines, that's enough!
If these people are instilled with the concept of the navy from a young age, they will definitely become navy personnel when they grow up.
