Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Bootlicker to the End, Everything

The merchant and his members boarded a ship and sailed out to sea.

“I will definitely come back!”

The merchant turned his head and looked in the direction of Pegasus Town, his face deeply resentful and unwilling.

Then, he saw the seawater roll back and the few merchant ships left behind were swept up into the sky by the seawater.

The people nearby followed their boss’s words and shouted at the opposite coast, “We will definitely come back!”

**TIP**

The merchant hit his head hard.

The subordinate held his head in grievance. “Boss, am I wrong? Why did you hit me?”

Are you f*cking blind?

They couldn’t see that those ships had all flown up. In those Marines, someone could easily destroy them.

This is the sea. If the ship really capsizes, I don’t know if he can survive!

But he couldn’t say that.

Even if he failed, he had to maintain the dignity of a caravan leader and a boss.

“Set sail, let’s go back first. I will let him know how terrible it is to offend the people who have connections. When he is demoted, I will tell Joker. I will let this Marine understand the real horror of the dark world!” Merchant said through gritted teeth.

“The heavy artillery is for the shore defense. You can divide the musket and lead bullets. As for swords, I will accept them.”

Kuro had just raised the ship into the sky and casually snapped his fingers. A ball of soil rose from the ground and rose together with the piled weapons.

“Hey, don’t you need to touch it now?” Leda said suspiciously.

This guy did not seem to have touched the weapon and directly sent it to the sky, although he borrowed the medium of soil.

“It seems… not necessary.”

Kuro shook his hand, felt it, and confirmed, “There’s really no need.”

Although he still controlled it with his physical strength, his fine control could already infect other objects through the medium.

This was all from the experience of controlling seawater.

“Hentai again…”

Leda couldn’t help but say, “Hey, Kuro, can you restrain yourself a little? If you become stronger, I can’t keep up.”

“What do you mean I’m strong? How am I strong?”

Kuro was a little indignant. Why do people always think that he is strong? In this Great Voyage World, does the strong represent the FLAG?

Those who were powerful were those who were beaten and defeated.

Don’t you see that Doflamingo is strong and powerful, but he was still defeated by a pirate who had only debuted a few years ago.

Look at Whitebeard, the strongest in the world. He is still dead.

A powerhouse?

The law of this world is that the strong must die.

Leda looked at Kuro with disdain and said some old phrases such as ‘I’m not strong’, ‘I didn’t cut through the Red Earth’, and ‘I can’t beat Yonkō (Four Emperors).

This person has always been unpredictable. Just listen to him.

Kaz, on the other hand, found a notebook from somewhere. He listened to Kuro and nodded as if he understood something. He wrote quickly and wrote something in the notebook.

Crowe leaned over and looked at it curiously. It was full of Kuro’s quotes.

From the previous justice speech to the current ‘not strong’ speech, everything is included, including his own notes.

“What’s the use of remembering this?” Crowe asked curiously.

“These are the words of Colonel Kuro. From his words, you can appreciate his ambition. I am the man who will make Colonel Kuro a general. There are some things that I have to do!”

Kaz put away his notebook and tucked it carefully into his pocket like a treasure.

Crowe said nothing.

Do you know that Mr. Kuro is so stubborn?

“You made me think of a sentence? Mr. Kuro often said it,” said Crowe.

“What words, Mr. Crowe, please tell me,” Cass said seriously.

“Licking dogs to the end, everything.” Crowe pushed up his glasses.

He didn’t understand what that meant before, but now looking at Cass’s behavior, he felt that he understood a little.

“Lick?”

Kaz was stunned for a moment. “A canine creature? It has everything? That’s really enviable. Is it a legendary creature?”

“It seems to be… I’m not sure. Maybe it’s a legendary creature. Mr. Kuro has always known a lot.”

Crowe said as if he understood.

“What are you two talking about? Hurry up and reorganize the weapons.”

Kuro said to Crowe and Kaz, then turned and walked toward the Marine base.

With his adjutant around, he didn’t need to care about these things. Crowe would help him deal with them, not to mention Kaz, who used to follow him and act as his adjutant. Two people were enough.

“Leda, Flower Country and Insect Country, do you remember them?”

After returning to the base and reaching the office, Kuro bit his cigar and looked at Leda, who was flipping through her snacks to eat.

Leda shook her head and found a bag of potato chips. She tore it open and ate one. “I don’t remember anything.”

“Do you want to go?”

“Well… it’s okay, I don’t care.” Leda ate potato chips and looked indifferent.

She really didn’t care.

A person has worked hard to survive for ten years. Family and whatnot have long lost their weight in her heart.

She was not the kind of person who would remember pain and suffering. Unlike Robin, who would be shrouded in the shadow of childhood, she was more heartless, or rather, her previous life did not allow her to have it.

After meeting Kuro, such a life would improve.

As for the deep hatred and dark history, or the inability to forget his parents…

Nothing.

Even if she did, she would not say it easily because she knew that if she caused trouble for Kuro, she would make herself uncomfortable.

“Forget it, let’s go together. If you don’t solve this matter, you will come to us later. When the time comes, solving it is a solution, and now it is also a solution. That ‘Lo’ family always has the same feeling as ‘Vinsmoke’,” Kuro said as he exhaled the smoke.

“Vinsmoke?”

Leda tilted her head. “The big family with three hundred years of history and control of the North Sea. Isn’t that a legend?”

In the eyes of ordinary people, Vinsmoke represented legend.

But Kuro knew that this was real. The comic that was popular in the world was about the Vinsmoke family.

Moreover, their three men were at Straw Hat.

But this had nothing to do with Kuro.

“That doesn’t matter. After a while, we will go to Kano Country.”

Kuro rubbed his chin and said.

Speaking of which, the legendary pirate, ‘Cone Green Pepper’, seems to have a big treasure house.

Now that he has no taxes and no development, the civilians are so poor that it is unbearable to look at them. Should he inject some funds to make Pegasus Town prosperous?

… .

Somewhere in the West Blue.

Above the sea, the merchant ship swayed with the waves.

The round merchant lay on the deck covered in blood. Around him were corpses.

On the bow of the ship, a white-haired young man in kung fu clothes was slowly peeling oranges and eating them.

“My lord.”

A subordinate came out of the cabin and cupped his fists. “There is nothing but food.”

“Huh?”

The young man pushed aside the white strip on the orange and stuffed it into his mouth. “So poor?”

“You… you, are you the Marine who came to silence us?”

The round merchant looked up and spoke with great effort.

“Marines?”

The young man tilted his head and revealed a puzzled expression. He played with the white strip on his finger and casually pushed it away. That thing was as straight as a needle.

He laughed. “It seems interesting. Tell me, what has your merchant ship experienced?”
