Only One Step Away from the Ideal
West Blue.
After a few days of sailing, Kuro’s Battleship finally crossed the Calm Belt and reached the West Sea.
Because he had cut off the Den Den Mushi’s signal in advance and put his wristwatch Den Den Mushi in the cabin, he could not receive a single call.
As for the news seagulls.
Before he could get close, he was frightened by Kuro’s murderous aura. After a few times, News Seagull also remembered Kuro’s aura and didn’t dare to go forward, causing his journey to be smooth sailing.
At this time, the weather in this sea area was good. Kuro moved a deck chair and lay on the deck, drinking a cigar in his left hand and snatching Leda’s snacks from time to time.
“Hey, don’t touch my snacks, I’ll kill you!”
After Kuro snatched her snacks for the second time, Leda finally couldn’t bear it anymore and hugged her small backpack and roared fiercely.
“What’s wrong with eating a little?”
Kuro said with a smile and was about to take a sip of the cold drink, but the cold drink was already empty.
“Chloe, the cold drink is gone. Go get me a cup,” he said to Chloe.
Crowe adjusted his glasses, opened his mouth, and stammered, “Well, Mr. Kuro, I’m a major…”
He had wanted to say this for a long time, but this time, he could not bear it anymore.
He is a Headquarters Major after all, not a miscellaneous soldier serving tea. Although he is Kuro’s subordinate, he can’t be so disrespectful.
Do you believe that I will fall out with you!
“Huh? What about it?” Kuro asked.
“No, it’s okay, I’ll get it.”
Crowe pursed his lips and forced a smile as he picked up the empty cup and turned towards the Battleship’s kitchen.
“Right, where’s Basil?”
He asked a Marine passing by.
“Reporting to Major Crowe, Ensign Basil is at the rear!” The Marine stood at attention and shouted.
“Call him over, I want to give him special training later!” Crowe said through his teeth.
“Yes!”
The Marine saluted and trotted to the rear of the Battleship.
At this time, in the back, Basil is sitting on the fence with one foot crossed and chatting with a Marine, laughing from time to time.
He held a lot of melon seeds in one hand and was eating them as he said, “Let me tell you…”
“Second Lieutenant Basil!”
The Marine who trotted over interrupted him and stood at attention.
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
With a happy mood, Basil turned to the Marine with a smile and picked up a melon seed and put it in his mouth.
“Major Crowe is looking for you. Please go to the deck as soon as possible. He said he wants to give you special training.”
These words made Basil’s smile freeze.
Just as he was about to put the melon seeds in his mouth, his hand loosened and they fell to the ground.
That expression gradually turned into a stunned squirrel, as if it was about to shout in the next second.
“Why me again…” he said desperately.
At this moment, Crowe, who was changing the cold drinks in the kitchen, had a similar expression. He looked at the cold drinks on the tray and said bitterly, “Why is it me again…”
Not to mention their mental journey, Kuro was happy.
He was in a damn good mood now.
Because there are no more worries!
At this rate, he could basically drag it out until he died in West Blue.
Although West Blue is still not as good as his hometown, East Blue, he actually wants to go to his hometown, Shelz Town, and replace Lippa, who is now stationed there as a base commander. But if he can’t do it, West Blue can do it.
People should know how to be content.
He was content now.
He was very satisfied with returning to Pegasus Island to retire.
A few days later, the group arrived at Pegasus Island.
But in the past, it was some Marines. When they came, there were 3,000 more repeaters.
For this, Kuro, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and confiscated the land near the Marine base, expanding the base again.
In this way, the new Marines have a place to live, and those civilians who have their land seized have also made a windfall. Then they take the money and go to the more peripheral places to set up their homes, making the place on Pegasus Island seem bigger.
This was supposed to be changed.
As Pegasus Town became more and more prosperous, the buildings in the central area became more and more difficult to keep up with. Compared to his newly developed place, these places seemed a little poor.
In addition to being the Base Chief of Pegasus Island, Kuro, who has acquired a large number of Pegasus Island wastelands, is also the Island Master of Pegasus Island. He also has to plan the quality of life of the residents.
It’s a wasteland. It’s a free reconstruction, a better house, and then it’s close to a newly developed prosperous area. It also gives a settlement fee to the original residents. Coupled with Kuro’s reputation on this island, no one is unwilling.
Three thousand repeaters settled on Pegasus Island and became Marines.
Originally, with the strength of the Four Seas Branch Base, it would definitely not require so many troops, but Kuro has a deep background.
But no one was willing to brush him off with such a thing.
Three thousand people were brought back by him.
If it was any other Airborne Division, they would not have that treatment.
For people in a proper organization, even if they get a high position in one day, without deep connections and a sense of identity, they will only get twice the result with half the effort.
And for these 3,000 people, although Kuro has a headache, he is still willing to do it on Pegasus Island.
The power of Pegasus Island is further advanced so that there will be less pirates attacking here.
Generally, a large ship regiment of such a large scale would also have about this many people.
But how can a pirate’s uneven quality be compared to a trained Marine, not to mention that this is a replicator stronger than an ordinary Marine.
After returning to Pegasus Island, Kuro stayed in the base.
Kaz brought Marines and replicators to train every day and even thoughtfully named 3,000 people.
In his words:
“You don’t have a name? What? Code name? 010203?”
“How can people not have names? Names are the first proof of people’s existence in this world. Since you don’t have names, let me name you!”
“How about the surname Lucilu, the surname of Brigadier Kuro? Ah no no, that is too sacred, then my surname is Doug! From now on, your surname is Doug!”
In a series of impassioned words, 3,000 replicated soldiers have a surname. In Pegasus Island, this surname became the largest surname.
Crowe lectured Sazel daily.
Leda, on the other hand, went out every day and ate.
Kuro looked down from the tall building of the base and saw this warm and peaceful scene. He nodded in satisfaction and sighed like an old man looking back at his life. “It’s so good, everything is on track…”
Peace!
Safe!
Comfortable!
His ultimate dream is only one step away from being realized!
Just as he was thinking this, in front of the door at the bottom of the building, Clodagh and Kaz stood there, not knowing if they should enter.
“I’ll do it!”
Kaz started to rush in.
“No!”
Leda grabbed Cass with such force that Cass couldn’t move.
“Why?!”
Kaz was puzzled. “Why can’t Mr. Kuro know such a good thing? That’s…”
Leda quickly waved her hand and stopped Cass. She put her finger to her mouth and shushed her. “You can’t say it. Be careful. You will be heard.”
“Let’s not talk about it…”
Crowe pushed up his glasses and crumpled a newspaper in his hand.
He did not dare to say that if Kuro got angry, Leda would definitely be fine. Kaz, this idiot, would only make Mr. Kuro helpless. Then he would be the only unlucky one.
