But the person is already gone; they quit their job without a backup plan, so it's best to just let it go if we can't find them.
The third position will remain vacant for now, and we are actively recruiting Marines. There will always be a strong person like Issho, or the Marines can train one themselves. Cass can handle this matter himself and then report it. Kuro is too busy dealing with documents every day to care about such things.
"call..."
After exhaling the smoke, Kuro stubbed out his nearly finished steamed cigar in the ashtray, then casually pulled out his cigar case. Looking at the few cigars inside, he clicked his tongue.
"Ever since I became this damn head of state, I've been smoking this stuff much faster than before. Tell William to send me some more."
"Yes, Mr. Kuro, I'll make the call right now."
Kro nodded in agreement, turned and walked out of the office to make a phone call on the other side.
Pangaea Palace reserved an office for Kuro, right next to his, to help him handle matters.
As for myself...
What a joke! He's the head of the World Government, calling a Shichibukai?
There's a shortage of manpower right now. As the Chief of Naval Staff, Kuro spends most of his time here, so it's not a problem for him to do things like serving tea and water. After all, the Navy's Deputy Chief of Staff is Tina, and she's more than capable of handling things there. She's basically taken over most of Kuro's functions as Chief of Naval Staff, while Kuro is getting familiar with the work of the World Government.
Meanwhile, the older generation of chief of staff, Tsuru, along with Sengoku and Garp, are now happily serving as inspectors within the Navy. Speaking of Garp... after the war ended, Garp punched Kuro, who didn't retaliate. After that punch, the matter was over.
Under the circumstances at the time, the navy and pirates were ultimately irreconcilable enemies.
Garp knew this better than he did.
After the three of them retired, Kuro didn't force them to work again. They were all in their seventies or eighties, and it was about time for them to retire.
Leave yourself an out; otherwise, you might end up being unable to retire and having to be rehired by someone else.
Otherwise, given Sengoku's intelligence, Kuro would definitely have handled things better.
"Tsk, it's been so long since I've been to an izakaya. I haven't even had a chance to take a break from work. Damn it!"
Kuro shook his head.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. Only after he took over the job properly did he realize how heavy the workload was. For a whole year, he barely slept and spent every day dealing with tasks.
I don't know who said that staying up late is to prevent today from leaving, and going to bed late is to prevent tomorrow from coming, but the key is that even if he stays up late, he is still dealing with things, and he is still dealing with things when he wakes up. Time seems to have faded away for him, and he is completely unaware of it.
If he didn't think about it carefully, he wouldn't even know that a year had passed.
Kuro sighed, "Sigh, when can I take a break? I want to find a place to have a few drinks... preferably with some friends."
But that's just wishful thinking. He himself can't even get away, let alone others. They're not allowed to get away either, because he can't even get away himself, and he'd feel resentful if others had time to have fun.
Keep busy, being busy is good.
Just then, Kuro, who was on the phone next door, walked in again, his brow furrowed with worry: "Mr. Kuro, something bad has happened..."
"Speak, what is it now?" Kuro replied, seemingly unfazed.
For so long, whenever something happened to Chloe, it was always "something's wrong," and we've gotten used to it.
"This time it's really bad."
Kro said, "News has come from the New World that Kuzan seems to have suffered a loss and is now trapped, forced to call for help."
"Clam?"
These words stunned Kuro. "Kuzan? Suffer a loss? There's no one on the high seas who could make him suffer a loss?"
This is quite a strange thing; it's actually happening on the high seas that Kuzan is willing to call.
“Here’s the thing, we discovered a town on an island in the New World. Initially, we just sent the navy to take over, but the first attempt failed. We kept sending naval personnel, from lieutenant commanders to colonels, then vice admirals, but they all disappeared without a trace. So Kuzan went there personally, but now it seems things are getting tricky,” Kro said.
"So many people have been lost?"
Kuro frowned: "Kuzan failed too?"
“No, no, he just said he was trapped,” Kro said, shaking his head.
"Then let Sakazuki make the trip. If one admiral isn't enough, then two will do. If two aren't enough, then three will do. It's not convenient for me to take action. You'll have to uphold the dignity of the Navy yourselves," Kuro decided.
"Yes, I will give the order right away, Mr. Kuro." Kuro responded and went to relay the order.
No one can deal with two admirals at the same time. Even if Sakazuki and Kuzan are not easy to deal with, they are not from the same system after all. One is the commander-in-chief of the entire army and the other is a naval admiral. They can't be completely on the same level, but they can still fight an enemy.
A few days later...
"Mr. Kuro!"
Kro rushed into the office, his face grim. "It failed!"
"ah?"
Kuro, who was engrossed in processing documents, looked up and asked, "What failed?"
"Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Grand Inspector Borsalino are all trapped on that island!" Kro said solemnly.
Wow!
Upon hearing this, Kuro Meng stood up from his chair and exclaimed in shock, "All three of them failed?! That's impossible!"
Such a thing doesn't exist in this world!
Even Kuro himself, during the second Marineford War, had to fight Blackbeard and Straw Hat Luffy one-on-one to defeat them.
When three people work together, no one in this world can stop them.
