After signing the contract, Rudolf selected a flight path and then went back to fetch his people.
The ships, in particular, were borrowed from the navy; they weren't warships, Kuro simply gave him one from his inventory.
Previously in Barnot Miral, Kuro acquired a batch of pirate ships, and since there were extras, he gave one directly to Rudolph.
After picking up his clansmen, Rudolph would survey the route and choose a location as his base to officially assume his duties as a Shichibukai.
A few days after he left, the already expired bounty was issued again.
Rudolph is a catfish-man who is good at swimming and diving. He is stronger in water than on land, but this is only for a short time, as he is, after all, a half-fish.
But titles are easy to get.
Because of its affinity for water, it was given the title of 'deep diver'.
Joe Rudolph, the Deep One, has a bounty of 350 million Berries.
However, because he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the bounty was invalidated from the moment it was issued. But what Kuro wanted was for the wanted poster to spread throughout the world so that everyone would know about him.
However, something caught Kuro's attention these past few days.
That is...
His subordinates were all promoted.
Kuro wasn't surprised by this. They defeated the Blackbeard Pirates, and although they had the help of the Seven Warlords, the Seven Warlords weren't the Marines. It was a price they had to pay to enjoy their privileges.
Kuro won't get promoted, but such a great achievement must be rewarded. If Kuro can't get it, then his subordinates will have to share the spoils.
Lida, Crow, Cass, Wilbur, and Ian were all promoted to lieutenant admirals. Ian, along with Binz, who was promoted to rear admiral, led the warship back to the G-3 area for patrol.
Meanwhile, everyone else received explosive promotions.
Donald, Sazel, and Kikyo became colonels.
Moore and Fanny, having not made any significant contributions, did not become colonels, but they did become lieutenant colonels, which was already a very high promotion.
After all, Kuro's faction now has five more lieutenant generals. In terms of rank, they are equal to Kuro and are no longer Kuro's subordinates.
Kuro was very happy about this.
He finally got rid of these annoying subordinates, especially Cass and Wilbur. Since they were no longer his subordinates, their actions were no longer his concern, and he was no longer responsible for them as their superior.
"Mr. Kuro!"
Cass and Wilbur burst into Kuro's room, where he was eating alone in the dining room, and yelled at him.
"Lieutenant General Cass, Lieutenant General Wilbur."
Kuro smiled and said gently to them, "You are now lieutenant generals, on the same level as me. You no longer need to report to me. You can make many decisions on your own."
Cass and Wilbur exchanged a glance and said seriously, "Even so, in our hearts, you are still our boss."
"No need, no need. As lieutenant generals, you have a lot of decision-making power. If you ask me about everything, you might as well not be lieutenant generals. Since headquarters has promoted you, it is natural that we hope you can take charge on your own. There are some things you don't need to ask me."
Kuro waved his hand, "You can decide for yourselves; I can't make that decision right now."
Just as Cass was about to speak again, Wilbur suddenly tugged at him. In the blink of an eye, Cass suddenly understood something and nodded to Kuro, saying, "Yes... I understand."
"Then go do your own thing."
Kuro twirled the noodles with his fork and ate them as he spoke.
"Yes, then we'll take our leave."
The two said something and then left.
Kuro smiled but didn't say anything more.
They were on the same level as him, so he really couldn't control them, and Kuro didn't really want to either.
He felt great about this; he had gotten rid of his annoying subordinates and was now free of all worries.
As a navy, this was bound to happen sooner or later.
You can't let your inability to move your position prevent those below you from moving as well.
What kind of boss would you be?
But he can't move up any further, or he'll become a general!
There are too many examples in the Navy of subordinates who, through a small movement, become equals to their former superiors. Kuro was neither surprised nor particularly upset by this.
On the contrary, he believes that although he doesn't care about anything now, the faction is still the same faction.
Leaving aside Ayn, she bears traces of Zephyr's faction and leans towards the dove faction that the Navy currently belongs to, but she also bears the mark of the fish faction, belonging to all three sides. After becoming a vice admiral, although she is still fulfilling her duty of patrolling the G-3 sea area, she will go to other places as soon as headquarters orders her.
But the others are different; they bear the strong imprint of the Fish School.
Although they are no longer their superiors, you can't say they don't give you face...
Why don't you let them try?
"Kuro, Kuro!"
Not long after Cass and Wilbur left, the door was pushed open again, and Lida barged in, sitting down next to him angrily.
"Who upset you?" Kuro poured himself a glass of wine and said slowly.
“I don’t want to be a lieutenant general,” Lida muttered.
"Why? A lieutenant general can manage a base and do whatever he wants," Kuro said.
“I don’t like it. I’m used to being next to you. Cass and Wilbur have both been transferred, and I don’t want to be transferred too.” Lida’s face fell.
"Then let's not transfer him. It's no big deal. I'll talk to the old man later and ask him to hold off on your transfer for now. Oh, and Kuro too. I can't get things done without him," Kuro said casually.
Kro, who had just come in, was speechless.
What do you think, Chloe?
Upon seeing Kuro enter, Kuro asked.
Kro adjusted his glasses, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I have no objection."
He wanted to leave.
He's become a lieutenant general!
He's qualified to form his own faction; he's already a person of real status in the Navy!
Although Kuro himself is well aware that he belongs to Mr. Kuro's faction, it doesn't mean he can't have a faction. Just like Mr. Kuro belongs to Admiral Kizaru's faction, but his own faction includes people like them.
He wanted to do that too.
He could be stationed at his own base and train his own men, just like Cass and Wilbur, who accepted the transfer order, and he wanted to accept it too.
I came in to ask when his transfer order came through, and then I heard this sentence as soon as I walked in...
It's over.
It's hopeless.
What transfer order or not...
Even as a lieutenant general, Crowe could distinguish between high and low ranks.
Are lieutenant general and lieutenant general the same?
Is Mr. Kuro just an ordinary lieutenant general? He's the successor to an entire admiral faction!
Even if Kuro establishes his own faction, it is currently a faction within the Kuro faction under the General faction.
He hasn't become so arrogant as to actually think he's on par with Mr. Kuro.
That's completely different.
