Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Ideals, No High or Low

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One golden and one purple, surging in the rainy night.

The purple Haki with the light of the blood-red cloak actually wanted to escape, but it was held back by the light of black and gold, and it did not let him leave this place of rain.

Bang!

Ledfield collided with Kuro again. He was determined and leaned forward, resisting Kuro’s blade. The tip of the bat umbrella swept away the purple Haki and hit Kuro’s heart.

This Marine is a Marine that yearns for safety. Although he is very strong, his spirit is definitely a little weak. If I attack by force, this guy may give in. As long as he gives way, he will have a chance to get out of this annoying rain.

The slashes brought by the rain can penetrate the body. His Haki can’t last that long.

However, the scene he expected did not appear. Kuro looked at the Bat Umbrella coming at him, gritted his teeth, held the Bat Umbrella hard, held Autumn Water tightly, and swung the knife down!

Chi!

The black saber cut through his Haki, which was gradually weakened by the rain, and cut a big wound on Ledfield’s chest. Ledfield’s bat umbrella hit the center of Kuro’s heart, causing ripples to appear.

“Cough!”

Both sides took half a step back. Kuro coughed and his eyes were red. Ignoring the pain in his heart, he leaned back and slashed.

Bang!

The bat umbrella was propped on the black blade. Ledfield’s body shook and he gritted his teeth. “You little devil!”

The recoil from the stab just now also wore down his dominance.

He actually forced his way up!

“Come on!”

Kuro burst out of his mouth, “Don’t you want to fight with me!”

He was beaten into a fierce state.

If there is no way to solve it peacefully and it can’t torture people happily, then come on!

In any case, if I can’t avoid it, I can just kill him and it will be settled peacefully!

‘You are too virtuous, Ledfield!’

Kuro slashed with his knife, leaving Ledfield’s figure wide open. His other hand clenched into a fist, Haki became a little more solid, and he punched.

“I’m virtuous?!”

Ledfield twisted his foot to the left and narrowly missed the fist.

“This kid…”

His eyes narrowed. In addition to his Haki attainment in swordsmanship, his Haki attainment in body techniques is not low. This punch cannot be blocked again.

“What do I need to clear?!”

He took a step back and his body was about to retreat, but Kuro pressed forward like a crazy dog. The black blade danced wildly and slashed over like the wind.

“Of course!”

Kuro slashed again and again, his eyes red as he said, “Look down on this, look down on that, above the sea, you are nothing! Everyone is just a living creature, under this sky, there is no such thing as who is nobler than who!”

He had always had this thought, so he felt that his strength and luck were not good, and there was nothing special about him.

Although he was born with a plug-in, in this sea, there were many special ones when he was young.

Charlotte Ling Ling, five years old can defeat Giant Hero.

Yaksha Doflamingo awakened Haoshoku Haki when he was young.

Including the old guy in front of him, Ledfield. Since he was young, his Kenbonshoku (Observation) was powerful and could see through people’s hearts.

‘What’s the difference?’

It makes no difference.

There was nothing to be proud of.

“Hug the ugly, old man!”

Kuro swung away Ledfield’s bat umbrella and slashed diagonally.

Ledfield’s umbrella also hit Kuro’s shoulder, dispersing a little of his overlying Haki, but soon the counter-shock made him stand still for a moment.

Chi!!!

The black blade with a trace of golden light cut through Ledfield’s Haki and made a big hole in his chest, spraying blood.

Ledfield clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. He took two steps back and suddenly flashed, taking advantage of the distance between them to shoot straight at the giant shield.

When we get there, we will avoid this annoying rain!

Whoosh!

At this moment, Kuro also flashed and used the same posture and speed as Ledfield. He was even faster than him now and appeared in front of Ledfield in a few afterimages.

Chi!

This knife cut his chest again, completely shattering the Haki protecting his body.

With a grunt, Ledfield flew backward and fell to the ground.

“You little ghost… learned my speed?” He looked up and said in disbelief.

“It’s just a little skill in other directions, what’s so difficult to learn? I specialize in speed.”

Kuro clenched his fingers and collected the rain. At the same time, he gathered a ball of water and descended on Ledfield’s face.

“Look! Old man, you look no different from a drowning dog. What’s the point of being noble!”

Holding Autumn Water, he pointed at Ledfield and shouted.

Ledfield subconsciously looked at the ball of water. The ball of water clearly reflected his body. His whole body was tattered and blood was smeared on his body, mixed with the mud on the ground. He was dirty and did not have the gentleman’s bearing from before.

But the most important thing is his face, which is currently ferocious, and that distorted appearance of a loser is the biggest source.

“For better or worse, he’s from the older generation. Look at the world!”

Kuro shouted, “Take a good look around. There are Marines, soldiers, and family forces here. Everyone is different. No one is born high and mighty. They are all dying and running for their own purpose. Anyway, they are just a goal. There is no difference in themselves!”

“Why are there so many high and mighty people? They are just people. The ugliness you think is the truth of this world! Listen, listen to the thoughts of these people!”

Ledfield subconsciously looked at the rear of the mountain that lay in the middle of the battlefield, where the soldiers were constantly retreating. His powerful Kenbonshoku (Observation) let him sense their thoughts.

“Ah… I can finally go back. My family is still waiting for me. I’m really lucky to not die this time.”

“It really scared me to fight with the Vinsmoke family. I want to escape.”

“Marines is really powerful. They stopped the Vinsmoke family. No, I can’t admit defeat. One day, I will be like them.”

“…”

His thoughts were mixed and transmitted to Ledfield’s brain.

Some were timid, some were brave, some were plain, and some were prepared to die bravely. There were many different thoughts in their minds.

“Did you hear that?”

Kuro interrupted his thoughts and said, “Actually, I don’t need to hear it, but I can see their thoughts from their expressions. Each of them has their own goals and ideals. Perhaps there are different achievements, but ideals have never been.”

“Embrace them, embrace what you think is ‘ugly’! The world is perfect because of these ugly imperfections!”

Kuro looked straight at him and roared, “The ideal of being a cocky Pirate King is the same as the ideal of being an ordinary citizen!!”

“There is no difference between high and low ideals!”
