Kuro's lieutenants are Lida and Kuro, but Lida basically doesn't get involved in anything, so there's only one lieutenant, and that's Kuro.
In order to avoid reporting to headquarters and getting a promotion, he was determined to postpone it as much as possible, and would just give perfunctory "uh-huh" when the phone rang.
He's either busy today or off to hunt down pirates tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm not going.
In the end, he didn't even bother answering the phone anymore, leaving everything to his adjutant, Crowe.
After that, headquarters stopped calling. He was even relieved that they might have forgotten about him, but then...
This old man is so hard to get rid of.
"Can I not go? I don't feel well. I've been too tired from fighting pirates lately, and I want to take a vacation."

"So there's no room for negotiation?" Kuro straightened up and said fiercely.
“Yes, there’s no room for discussion.” Garp nodded.
"OK!"
Kuro sat back down, looking frustrated.
He didn't bother arguing with an old man in his seventies or eighties; it was just a matter of going back to report on his duties, and he would come back after that.
