Chapter 11: Marine Based - 11
"That's not up to me." Kaden replied once more, drily. He could put his name in for promotion when he thought he was ready, but it was up to his superiors to decide if he was worthy of a promotion.
And he honestly wasn't really sure what to think about being a marine at this point. He would really rather not be one, he was, so he should aim for higher. But then if he did leave, it would mean he'd be given a much higher bounty.
...But that could be to his advantage as well depending on what he wanted to go for.
"Well we're missing a Commander now after the idiot went and got himself killed by that bitch Whitey Bay," Commodore Yarisugu nodded, to himself, "I think you're stronger than him now though so you should be able to handle it!"
Oh right....Whitey Bay had apparently been making a trip to go meet up with Whitebeard or something two weeks ago, and one of the Commander's who had some kind of boner, possibly of the hate version, but perhaps just lustful sailed out with a bunch of others in the base to hunt her down, and got killed by her.
Apparently it wasn't even a fight, she slaughtered him like a pig.
"...I'm literally a petty officer," Kaden gave the man a deadpan look, "That's multiple rank jumps. And being an officer of that level takes more than just strength."
Seriously what about knowledge, experience and leadership ability? A lack of those traits is probably what got the last moron Commander killed.
"And the fact you know that, puts you way above the other shmucks around here," Commodore Yarisugu laughed clapping him on the shoulder, "I'll go let Vice Admiral Vergo know you've got my backing to get the promotion." he said, and turned around and walked away with a whistle on his lips.
"I fucking hate this place." Kaden nodded.
Literally every single person around him, was a freaking moron. Led by incredibly stupid and incompetent morons.
