Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

There Are Two Trees In Front of My House

“One must be kind. Animals are also life. How can you kill at will?”

Lippa smiled gently. “You don’t understand now, but you will when you grow up.”

These words stunned Kuro and he subconsciously sized up Lippa.

“Why, have you changed your faith to Buddha?” Kuro asked, “Does Sengoku know?”

“Not really.”

Li Pa shook his head and said, “I just think that it’s not a good thing to wantonly kill lives. Birds, insects, and beasts are all lives. Everyone is the same, so why bother?”

Crash!

On the surface of the sea beside the pier, there was a sudden wave and a green fish jumped on the pier.

Lippa quickly walked over and gently lifted the black carp and sent it into the sea. “Just like this fish, it was originally living in the sea without any worries. It just happened to want to peek at the world overseas and was eaten by someone. It was really too innocent, so we sent it back to the sea and let it continue to wander in the sea. Only then did it have a complete life.”

“Fish…” Leda was stunned and wanted to reach out, but the movement of the plow handkerchief made her lose the idea.

Kuro was speechless.

Veins popped out on his forehead. “I say, how did you become like this after not seeing you for a year? Last year, you were still very normal. It doesn’t matter if you kill it or not, even if you let it back to the sea, it is also a fish. If it comes back to you to repay you, it will at most become a Dugong.”

As he spoke, he suddenly froze and frowned. “Li Pa, don’t tell me you saw some strange story. Let me tell you, those things about letting go of the fox and becoming a fox girl, letting go of the carp and becoming a dragon girl, letting go of a knife and becoming someone’s wife, they are all fake. You can’t believe it. At most, you are an ability user, you know?”

“I just don’t want to kill, and I don’t want to wantonly take lives,” Lippa said.

“Li Pa, you are Marine,” Kuro said.

“Marines… There are also Marines who don’t kill.” Lippa smiled.

This made Kuro speechless for a moment.

Marines will definitely suffer casualties as long as they deal with pirates.

However, among the upper echelons of their Marine, there is a Marine who is famous for not killing.

And he had just sent her away.

But something is wrong…

Last year, Lippa was quite normal. As a base chief, he performed his Marine duties very dutifully.

It is also ruthless to deal with pirates.

Why is it that after a year, even if he doesn’t kill, he won’t die.

“I’ll go prepare food first. The others, take your colleagues to rest.”

Lippa smiled and turned back.

Kuro looked at his back and bit his cigar, wondering, “What’s wrong with this guy?”

“It was like this a year ago.”

Rika glared at Lippa’s back and shouted, “Brother Kuro, after you came back to pay respects to your ancestors last time, Uncle Lippa went on a mission. When he came back, he became like this. He said something about not killing and being kind. Of course, I know that people should be kind, but he doesn’t let us fish or eat meat. He said that it’s not good to wantonly kill lives. But Uncle Lippa is the base chief here, and we can’t do anything about it. Brother Kuro, you take care of it. Even our restaurant has no meat to eat, not even squid.”

“What? No meat? It’s vegetarian for a year.” Kuro was shocked. “How can that be, the nutrition can’t keep up.”

“I want meat, Kuro,” Leda called.

Kuro frowned and thought of something. “Did this guy go out to fight pirates in the past year?”

Rika shook her head. “No, and no other Marines are allowed to go out.”

“What is this person doing…”

Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked at Lippa’s back that was getting farther and farther away. He said, “Wait, I will say it after I worship my ancestors.”

With that, he walked in the other direction.

A group of cadres followed behind him and moved forward together.

Kuro’s home, on the edge of this town.

Because his parents were good at farming, there was a field at the edge of the town.

But it has not been planted for a long time.

It was a very ordinary hut. The house looked clean and it looked like someone cleaned it often.

“Still here…”

He looked at the two trees in front of the door and said to the person behind him, “There are two trees in front of my house, one is a date tree and the other is also a date tree.”

“What do you mean?” Leda was stunned.

“Guess for yourself. I was tested by these words back then.”

Kuro smiled. After glancing at his house, he walked into the backyard.

His parents were buried there.

In the backyard, there are two tombstones side by side with the names of parents engraved on them. In front of the tombstones, there is a raised mound, and in front of the mound, there are traces of the last ancestral worship.

“Clean it up and redo it.”

Kuro waved his hand, and Crowe went forward and cleared the old offerings in front of the mound for him, and then made a new tribute for Kuro.

Kuro placed the tribute in front of the two mounds and knelt on the ground. He respectfully kowtowed three times before saying, “Lida, you should kowtow one too. The ancestors will bless you and bring you good luck.”

“Oh.”

Leda nodded. She didn’t understand, but she would do whatever Kuro said.

“Ancestral blessing?”

Donald was stunned for a moment. “Vice-Admiral Kuro, are your ancestors from the Country of Flowers?”

“No, he’s a native of East Blue. He has never left Shields Town for three generations,” Kuro said.

“Strange…”

This custom only exists in Flower Country.

However, it was said that in the extreme north of the North Blue, some people born as pirates also have the title of ancestor. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

If Vice-Admiral Kuro’s ancestors are not from Kano Country, could they be from North Blue?

There is no such custom in East Blue.

When Leda finished kowtowing, Kuro said, “If any of you want to kowtow, kowtow a few times. It’s just a ritual. Please be lucky.”

“I’ll do it!”

Kaz rushed forward excitedly. After kneeling down, he prostrated himself and shouted, “Thank you very much! For the world to give birth to such a great person as Mr. Kuro, you are the greatest existence! Please bless me, Doug Kaz, to continue this righteous cause!”

And has been following Mr. Kuro!

Until Mr. Kuro is helped into the position of Marine Admiral!!

Kaz roared to himself.

Kuro was speechless.

These words made him sound like a fierce man.

In fact, this is a ritual.

He knew his parents in this life well. They were just ordinary people. Other than being a little beautiful, there was nothing else.

His ancestors had been farming for three generations.

After Kaz finished kowtowing, Wilbur followed, also prostrating himself and bowing three times.

The others followed suit. They either kowtowed or put their hands together and bowed.

Kuro bit his cigar and looked at the tombstone. He murmured softly, “It’s enough to show off. A group of elite Marines took turns to kowtow to you. What a pity… If you didn’t die so early, you should be very happy.”
