Cultivation is something you can just practice casually; as for how much strength you gain, that's up to fate—Lucir Kuro.
Some people may not know what six months of cultivation really means. We usually call such people "earth...cultivation monsters"!
Kuro, of course, maintained his training every day without interruption. Although he was a lazy bum, he knew very well what the capital of being a lazy bum was in this world.
This saltiness lasted for half a year.
Sabaody Naval Base.
office.
Kuro was lounging on a deck chair outside his office balcony, a cigar in his left hand and a drink in his right, wearing sunglasses and sunbathing.
In my ears, I could hear the sounds of the navy drilling below.
The sound was loud, which reassured Kuro.
With his subordinates now being colonels, including Kro and Lida, and with another colonel, Sentomaru, there was no longer any need for him to lift a finger.
Colonel Wilbur was maintaining order in Sabaody. Although he wasn't particularly strong, he was very quick-witted and got things done efficiently, which put Kuro at ease.
For the past six months, Kuro has essentially given them free rein, allowing them to do whatever they want on their own.
As colonels, they also had a great deal of autonomy, and often led their subordinates on warships to fight pirates.
Cultivation, of course, also requires real combat experience.
Although he was quite worried about Lida, upon closer reflection, he realized that it was time for him to let go of her. Otherwise, if she kept eating and drinking around him, she would lose all sense of vigilance and become a useless person.
As for myself...
He picked up his drink, took a sip, shifted to a more comfortable position, and let out a relaxed breath. "Comfortable..."
If you have subordinates to do the work, you can just lie around and enjoy life every day.
A safe and comfortable life is exactly what he dreams of.
Although this is Sabaody Archipelago, which attracts a large number of pirates every year, he has managed it so well that most pirates dare not come. As for other pirates, he has several subordinates patrolling outside.
Both Kuro and Lida kept their teachings in mind, and never left any pirates alive when they tried to break into Sabaody Archipelago. They would fight them and then sink them into the sea.
As for the credit...
It's not that easy to get promoted. He's not a pirate who caused a mess and the World Government raised his bounty.
Smoker spent so much time in Loguetown in the East Blue, taking down so many pirates, and he was still a colonel.
Stationing in the area and eliminating pirates is their duty. If everything is about merit, the navy would be full of vice admirals by now.
Some people have been in the navy for forty or fifty years and are still only captains.
His promotion from sergeant to major general in just one year can be described as rapid.
To be promoted again... unless his achievements are even greater and the world has a safety net for him, he's not afraid of being promoted again for no reason.
The promotion from school-level to general-level is a major hurdle, and this level of advancement represents a qualitative leap. Therefore, he wasn't afraid that Lida and Crow would also be promoted. Besides, their promotion was their business and had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he was only a major general. As his direct subordinate, he could not be promoted as long as he remained under his control, unless the old man took them away.
But how could the old man possibly do that?
Everything was working in his favor, so Kuro was lying there comfortably, feeling incredibly content.
The environment in Chambord is a bit poor, but people aren't perfect. He's not picky and considers it acceptable.
"Kuro, I'm back!"
The office door was violently pushed open, and Lida walked in, eating a bag of snacks as she went. She went to the balcony and gave Kuro a disdainful look.
"You're slacking off again."
"Nonsense! How am I being lazy? I'm enjoying the peaceful environment of Sabaody that I created. This is an achievement, an achievement, you understand?"
Kuro waved his hand and looked at her. "How was the patrol?"
"Well, it was alright. We ran into a few petty thieves on the way and they threw them into the sea. I didn't do anything; it was Kikyo who did it," Lida said.
Their respective subordinates were promoted one level as a whole six months ago because of Charlotte Linlin's affair, and in the past six months, they were promoted another level for their meritorious service in eliminating pirates.
Kikyo, Sazel, and Fanny are all captains now.
As for Lida and Kuro, these two have earned nicknames within the Navy in the past six months due to their outstanding strength.
Like Smoker's 'White Ghost' and Tina's 'Black Prison'.
Kuro earned the nickname "Black Wolf," with "black" being a homophone for "dark." However, due to the existence of "Black Prison," the Navy avoided using the same word, so they gave him the title "Black Wolf."
Lida is known as "White Butterfly," which means "white butterfly." Originally, her title was "White Whale," which means "white whale," referring to her enormous appetite and whale-like size. However, Lida disliked the title and complained to Kuro about it.
“I don’t have a big appetite, I can only eat a little bit. These people look down on me!” These are Lida’s exact words.
Kuro protested to the old man, who insisted on correcting it for her.
"Anyway, you can just use any title you want. Look at Smoker, he's called 'White Ghost,' but I don't think he looks like a ghost. He also has the nickname 'White Hunter,' but I don't think he looks like a hunter at all. Can he even use a bow? Of course, you can just use whatever sounds good."
These are Kuro's original words.
Kizaru, of course, complied unconditionally with this small matter. It was just a change of title; it wasn't a 'codename' decided by the Navy itself, but rather a 'title' initiated by the civilians and then adopted by the Navy. The situation was different.
Titles are something that pirates and marines all get once they become famous.
It's hard to say what the code name will be.
That's something only lieutenant generals have.
Such as flying squirrels and ghost spiders.
Kuro felt he should also have a title, such as 'Shura', 'God of War', 'Dragon King', 'Tiger General' or something like that.
However, after asking around for a while, it seemed that there really wasn't one.
More people know that the Navy has a character named Lucilfer Kuro.
What, doesn't Lucilfer Kuro deserve a title?
Code name? No code name, it's too dangerous.
Before he killed Redfield, his fame was on par with Smoker; after he killed Redfield, his fame was almost comparable to that of a lieutenant general.
Of course, the Navy has capable people. Just because someone killed Redfield doesn't mean they're a great naval hero.
If that's the case, will Kuro still be able to play?
Those elite lieutenant generals are all seasoned veterans, having captured countless notorious pirates.
One Redfield is really nothing.
Especially in the last six months, since Kuro has been quiet for half a year, no one mentions this matter anymore.
People forget things as time goes by, and they don't remember so many complicated things that have nothing to do with them.
