Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Definition of Power

But so what if it was him? Wasn’t it all because of Crowe?

If Crowe hadn’t been there, he wouldn’t have said Crowe’s name after meeting Hawkeye. If he hadn’t said Crowe’s name, he wouldn’t be in this situation today. There might be other solutions.

Yes, that was it.

Kuro forced Crowe with his eyes, his meaning clear.

Hurry up and solve it!

Crowe glanced over and understood what he meant. He rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart.

“Although I also want to be, that person is really not me, I don’t use a knife. Sir, you got the wrong person.”

Crowe said, “I’m just a third-class soldier in a branch. How can I be recognized by the world’s number one swordsman?”

Hearing this, the officer’s pleasantly surprised face disappeared. He let go of Crowe’s hand and looked at him carefully. He was very slender and there was no cocoon holding the knife in his hand. Although he looked explosive, it was not from his arms but more from his legs.

He may be a good person, but he is definitely not a knife user.

Was he really mistaken?

The officer sat down and said, “It seems to make sense, it’s just that they have the same name. I heard that Crowe is also a Marine, didn’t he come to Headquarters? That’s a pity, that kind of man should come to the Grand Line, doesn’t Headquarters have dispatch?”

Even if Headquarters wants to have a dispatch, they have to find the right person first.

The names were all fake, and they only knew that it was a Marine. In addition, someone deliberately hid it, so it was naturally difficult to find.

Crowe was not the so-called Great Swordsman, so the officer naturally lost his previous enthusiasm. After registering, the three of them left the reception area and a special Marine arranged dormitories for them.

Although Kuro is a Warrant Officer, a Warrant Officer is not an officer in the Marine and is only a soldier. Moreover, he is a branch Warrant Officer, so he naturally has no good place to live. He and Crowe are assigned to the same dormitory, and Leda is assigned to the female dormitory.

Moreover, in the Headquarters, the Admiral and the officers are on different levels. The Marine Admiral is the real backbone. As for the Admiral, he is at the Governor-General level and is on the same level as the Marshal.

However, this has nothing to do with Kuro. In any case, he only wants to be promoted to Captain of Headquarters. With this rank, he can still lead warships to the four seas. Therefore, Femboldi is his former target. In addition, Colonel Smoker is protecting him, which is equivalent to being stable.

According to Crowe’s plan, there should be no problem.

The three of them headed to the cafeteria. The cafeteria in the headquarters was naturally big. It was noon and the cafeteria was very noisy. The sound of cooking and the sound of the Marines eating and chatting formed a very strong smoke.

“It smells so good!”

Leda sniffed wildly and the aroma of a lot of food rushed into her nose and her eyes were about to light up.

“It smells so good…”

Kuro was also shocked by the strong aroma of food.

As expected of Marin Vando, the Marine’s base camp is not on the same level as the 153 Division Dining Hall and the Base Dining Hall in Roguetown.

“That’s the best!”

After twitching her nose for a while, Leda pounced like a puppy and pointed at a pot of stew. “That, that, give it all to me!”

The one making the stew was an uncle. When he saw a child coming, he showed a loving smile.

“Little girl, you know your stuff and your nose is very sensitive. You are very talented. How about learning to cook from me?”

“No, I want to eat that pot of meat!”

“I am the best chef here. Are you sure you don’t want to learn cooking from me?” The uncle smiled.

“Meat!” Leda’s eyes lit up and she no longer listened to the uncle’s words.

“Okay, okay, the stew is ready. I’ll give you more.”

The middle-aged man smiled and was about to get a spoon, but Leda couldn’t wait that long. With a tiger pounce, she lifted the stew pot, which was almost as tall as her, and brought it to Kuro’s table.

“Kuro, this pot of meat is the best, trust me!” Leda said confidently.

How can I not believe you? Your nose is like a dog’s nose.

Kuro rolled his eyes and knocked on Leda. “How many times have I told you that you have to be a lady when you eat? It’s such a big cafeteria. Are you afraid that you won’t have food to eat?”

At the same time, he was also a little relieved. Headquarters is really rich. They are not afraid of how much others eat and they can spend less of their own money.

Ever since Lida came, his money could not be considered money anymore. Now, he was finally free.

Eat! Eat with all your might. If you can bankrupt the headquarters, I will dare to challenge the world’s number one swordsman!

Kuro was determined in his heart. He didn’t believe that if Leda really wanted to bankrupt Headquarters, he would challenge Hawkeye and raise such a foodie with great fame.

Of course, with Headquarters’ reserves, Leda really can’t eat it all.

This time, she was especially satisfied.

“Ah, the food in Headquarters tastes so good, even better than Barati. I want to stay here for a long time.”

After leaving the canteen, Leda touched her stomach with a look of satisfaction.

“Hey, Kuro, let’s just stay in Headquarters.”

“Don’t even think about it, what’s so good about Headquarters. Think about it, Headquarters is facing the elite pirates of the Grand Line, they are all perverts. This is the place with the most ability users, who knows what kind of strange ability they will encounter, it’s Ze…”

Kuro suddenly closed his mouth, looked around, and said, “In short, we have to keep a low profile and try to return to East Blue and not show off.”

“But you are already very strong,” Leda asked.

“Huh? I’m strong?”

Kuro pointed at himself exaggeratedly. “Can I defeat Hawkeye? Even if I am lucky enough to defeat Hawkeye, can I defeat the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Regiment? Not Yonkō (Four Emperors) Regiment? Even if I can defeat one Yonkō (Four Emperors) Regiment, can I defeat four Yonkō (Four Emperors) Regiment?”

“Mr. Kuro, your definition of strong is …?”

Crowe adjusted his glasses and asked the question he had been wanting to ask for a long time.

Kuro touched his chin and said seriously, “To be able to defeat the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Regiment and Shichibukai, you can be considered strong.”

“???”

Not only Leda, but even Crowe was confused.

I sent a question mark. It’s not me, it’s you!

Kuro really thought so. The sea is too dangerous. Not to mention that he can’t even defeat Hawkeye now, even if he can, he can’t. The Admiral is strong, and Zephyr is strong enough, but he was still cut off by a pirate when he was leading new recruits.

Although the identity of that pirate is a little special and there are still hostages on that ship.

But before that, who the hell knew there was such a person.

On the sea, there are many unexpected situations.

Would Kuro dare to guarantee that he would not encounter a second pervert like this?

What if an even more abnormal person comes? I might even be worse than Zephyr. What if I die?

In the end, he was still not strong enough!

“But since I’m here in the headquarters, I have to find a way to find a Rokushiki and take it from him.”

Kuro muttered.
