Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

“Let me manage the Country of Peace?”

Yamato was a little stunned. “Will you be very busy after becoming a Marshal? Don’t you have subordinates?”

The Marine with glasses, who is also a Canine Fruit, has managed the Country of Peace very well and doesn’t need her.

“For the time being. If you agree, I can promise you one thing, as long as it’s not too much.”

Kuro turned his head and looked from Yamato’s body to the mine. “For example, I will let go of the people of the Light Moon Clan. Of course, they don’t have a name and can only be a civilian, but I will let them go and they can survive in the Country of Peace normally instead of mining here.”

After ruling the Country of Peace for two years, the current degree of rule of the Country of Peace has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and no one has rebelled. Many former samurai have gone to the base of the Country of Peace as Marines. In terms of dominance, he is not inferior to Light Moon, who only has a family name.

Besides, the Light-Moon Oden is just a name. His father is a general. He is only eight years old. No, he is ten years old. So what if he looks mature? His governance ability is equal to 0. Is he going to rely on the Red Scabbard to govern? That is nonsense.

His sister grew up as a courtesan and did not have any political means. Wouldn’t giving them the Country of Peace be equivalent to playing?

If Kuro had not been there and Straw Hat had returned the country to Momosuke after defeating Kaido, then the Country of Peace would not have ended well. People were free, but there was nothing but freedom.

Oh, from the evil politics of Charcoal Snake to the other extreme of freedom, right?

Wasn’t this nonsense with him?

Yamato is different. She grew up under the influence of Kaido and she has to go against Kaido. Kaido is chaotic and she wants order. Kaido wants to lock up the country and she wants to establish it. Under such influence, the least we can know is that Yamato will not mess up the current situation of the Country of Peace.

Besides, it didn’t take long. The budget time given by Kuro was enough. It would end in half a year to a year at most.

At that time, after the end of the Pirate Era, Crowe can also come back to guard. Here, in addition to the Country of Peace and G-3, he has become a Marshal, so the position of the base commander of G-3 will naturally be left to Crowe. Only he, Kuro, can be at ease.

“Release Momosuke… Are you serious?” Yamato said excitedly, “Aren’t you afraid that they will cause you trouble?”

“You still have a conscience. It’s not in vain for me to let you manage the Pallas’s cat as a prisoner. I’ll come as I say. Help me look after the Country of Peace. Not only will I return the freedom of Momosuke, but I will also set you free. There’s no problem with going to sea. When it’s over, you can do whatever you want. Of course, there’s a premise. You have to be an officer of the Country of Peace.”

Yamato has done a good job with the Pallas’s catheterization and expanded it a little. It is not difficult to manage the Country of Peace. Besides, it is not like there is no one to assist them. In the past two years, many people of the Country of Peace have come to be officials of the Country of Peace.

“I agree!”

Yamato nodded heavily. “As long as you release Momosuke and give me my freedom, I agree!”

“Very good. Pack up and report to Kano City. I will tell others. It’s settled.”

Kuro finished the hanging grape, stood up and flew straight away.

“Hey, Peach!”

Yamato turned around and waved happily at Momosuke. “There is good news, come quickly!”

… .

After leaving the Pallas’s cat, Kuro went straight to the City of Flowers and arrived at the Pavilion of Heavenly Defense.

“Your Excellency.”

When he arrived at the main hall, His Majesty, who had been in charge of the interior of the hall, knelt there and bowed his head to greet him.

“What about Kuzan?”

Kuro sat on the futon throne at the top of the hall and asked Baohuang.

“Lord Kuzan… is sleeping,” Baohuang said crisply.

“Get him up and let him come over.”

“Yes, General.”

Royalty pressed his fingers to his temples and used the eye paper on his face to inform the same people nearby. A moment later, Kuzan yawned and walked into the hall.

“Alala, why are you back?” Kuzan asked, “Aren’t you looking for Straw Hat and Blackbeard?”

“I have to ask you this.”

Kuro snapped, “Didn’t I ask you to lead the team to block the sea? Why are you sleeping?”

“Well, because I heard other news, I didn’t move. For example…”

Kuzan smiled. “Congratulations, Kuro. You seem to be a Marshal now.”

“Who told you? Crane? I haven’t, I haven’t been inaugurated.” Kuro rolled his eyes.

“It’s almost the same. After all, there is no one else besides you. Alalala, you actually became a Marshal just like that. You were clearly a small Marine who followed Polusalino in the past,” Kuzan said with some nostalgia.

“Don’t talk to me like you’re old. It’s not time for you to retire, Kuzan. I want you to help me.”

Kuro went straight to the point. “Sakaski went to be the commander-in-chief. His suggestion was for me to hire you back. I had the same intention. After all, you don’t have a bounty. After so many years in the Marine, you can’t say that you don’t have feelings. Come back and help me.”

“This is really…”

Kuzan scratched his head, then reached out and patted the ice-formed leg and said, “I don’t seem to be very agile.”

“Cut it out. That kind of thing is nothing to someone like you who can shape.” Kuro completely ignored Kurzan’s broken leg.

Some Devil Fruits have such great power, especially those with shaping power.

Ice, lava, mud, and so on. Paramecia can also do this, such as Big Mom’s eldest son.

For them, they don’t have to care about losing a hand or a leg because their abilities will allow them to move normally.

Of course, to reach the strength of Kuzan, it will definitely damage his strength.

Including Sakasugi, his injuries are actually not small. Although he is not disabled, the frostbite on his body cannot be healed and will reduce his strength.

However, the strength of a general is still the strength of a general. At this level, one leg is actually not a big deal.

“It will be very troublesome if I return. I just left the Marine Corps not long ago. It will be very embarrassing for me to join again.” Kuzan scratched his head.

“Come on, it’s settled. You are originally the captain of ‘Sword’, just take it that you went to Blackbeard’s place to be an undercover. Now you should come back, Admiral Aokiji!” Kuro said in a deep voice.

Of course, it was easy for Kuzan to be rehired. He had been a Marine for so many years and he had the smell of Marine in his bones. It was much better than being a vagrant at sea.

When Yamato came, Kuro directly ordered the Emperor to tell those in the Kingdom of Peace to let Yamato temporarily look after the Kingdom of Peace, and then he left with Kuzan.

The Marines led by Crowe searched the sea for a week and did not find Straw Hat and Blackbeard, so they could only return to Headquarters.

He had to reply.

Because Mr. Kuro is going to be a Marshal, they have to go back to the inauguration ceremony. They don’t want to miss such an exciting thing.
