Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Set A Small Goal For Yourself, First Kill Kaido

The sea was calm.

After leaving the Kingdom of Tada, Kuro was finally free.

There was no request for help, no report. It was a rare moment of peace.

Although it was a little monotonous on the sea, Kuro was willing to do this. He only wanted to recuperate now. It was best if he could not touch any enemies.

Besides, he was in a good mood.

Because the old man had seen the report and called.

“Kuro, this old man has let you down. The higher-ups of the Tada Kingdom already know about it and they have a problem with it. This old man has lost the qualification to become a Marshal. You could have been promoted to a Rear Admiral, but the higher-ups decided to suppress you and only give you a rank. When Headquarters is free, you can come back and be awarded.”

There is such a good thing?

Kuro laughed when he heard it.

He stole a piece of land from the Tada Kingdom and his level dropped.

It was too damn good.

Old Master, you’re awesome!

I knew you wouldn’t let me down by becoming your subordinate!

Kuro sat on the edge of the boat, smoking a cigar and fishing leisurely with a fishing rod in his hand. From time to time, he would think of this and laugh.

“Today is a good day…”

He hummed a song from home.

Standing behind him, Crowe looked speechless.

He carried the bucket of bait and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Kuro, is it a pity for Admiral Kizaru to withdraw from this Marshal competition? If he becomes a Marshal, Mr. Kuro’s position will definitely be more stable.”

Kuro chuckled. “Come on, that old man is a Marshal? I don’t even have the eyes to see what he will transform Marines into after he goes on stage. And he doesn’t have this idea at all. No wonder he took full responsibility this time. It turns out that he has an excuse to face those five damn old men.”

According to Kuro’s understanding of Kizaru, he said that he would take responsibility so readily just to avoid this qualification.

He has no intention of becoming a Marshal. Besides, the Old Master has a lot of influence. No matter who becomes a Marshal, he will not have any influence.

Master is not like Akainu and Aokiji, who are in opposition to each other. Instead, he has some face with everyone.

In terms of face, Red Hair is still lacking. Master is the undisputed face king.

“Mr. Kuro, even if Admiral Kizaru doesn’t become a Marshal, you should take back your own position, from Rear Admiral to Colonel is too far apart. I suggest that you go to the prisoners on the sixth floor now and restore your impression on the government side.”

It is very difficult to promote the rank of a Marine Admiral. If you miss this opportunity, you will need a lot of credit to make a contribution.

“If you don’t want your brain, throw it into the sea to feed the Sea Kings.”

Kuro bit his cigar and glanced at him angrily. “Are you influenced by Kaz or what? You didn’t act like this in the past. Why are you so reckless? Be safe, be safe! With my strength, am I qualified to catch the prisoners on the sixth floor?”

“Mr. Kuro, you… are not qualified?” Crowe was a little stunned.

“Of course I’m not qualified! Although I killed Golden Lion and left a scar on Kaido’s body that will never disappear, I also seriously injured Red Hair and almost killed the Whitebeard Pirates. I also sank the Blackbeard Pirates.”

“But I know that I am very weak! I never treat them with 100% safety. Look at the injuries I suffered in the past few days. The injuries I suffered in my life were not as serious as those days!”

Crowe was forced to take a few steps back by these words. He shrank his head back and subconsciously protected his eyes. He looked at Kuro in shock.

Although his words were very sincere, Crowe felt that he was showing off. He also had evidence, but because the taste was too strong and the way he said it made him feel like he was going blind. For a moment, he didn’t know how to refute.

“Wait, you met Kaido?!” Leda, who was staring at the bait and swallowing her saliva, reacted and said in surprise.

“Ah… I almost died. It can be seen that one must be humble and respect the strong. Don’t think that you can fight against the world just because you have some strength. First, set a small goal for yourself. First, you have to kill Kaido. If you can’t kill him, you are weak and not safe!”

Kuro raised his head and said this without any modesty.

“Chloe, you’ve been with me for so long, you have to look at me like I’m your equal. Don’t think that you’re safe just because you have an ability. How long have you been away from the Tada Kingdom, have you forgotten the dangers?”

“Take that Absolem as an example, but he made everyone, including me, fall into his illusion. If he had a stronger body technique, I would have been unlucky! And as far as I know, there are a few prisoners who are much stronger than him.”

“So, before you are strong enough, you must keep a low profile and you must not be famous. You will be targeted by those pirates who only think about becoming famous. If a strange ability user comes, you will die without knowing how.”

“But… Mr. Kuro, you are already famous. Your performance in the War Of The Best has been seen by the whole world.” Crowe said weakly.

“Don’t mention this to me!”

The blue veins on Kuro’s forehead are exposed. Thinking of this, his head hurts.

Nothing good happens after entering Headquarters!

Still …

“I still have a chance!”

Kuro revealed a confident smile. “Whitebeard’s dying declaration has already made the sea start to surge. Now pirates all over the world are swarming. Not only the Grand Line, but the number of pirates in the four seas has also increased geometrically. The headquarters is seriously understrength.”

“So I have a chance to go to the Four Seas, especially now. Let me tell you, the slower I rise, the farther the danger is from me.”

Before participating in the War of the Best, his idea was to return to East Blue and live a safe and comfortable life.

After participating in the War of the Best, he knew that this idea was outdated.

Fame and promotion are inevitable. Although Kuro doesn’t want to, he has already reached this point, so there is no other way.

In any case, the war is over. What is important now is to contain it. Before his strength reaches his expectations, let his fame and position be preserved at this level.

Can’t I take the initiative to keep a low profile? With Marine’s nature, if you don’t take the initiative to ask for progress, it won’t mobilize the troops unless it’s a big event like the War Of The Best.

That idiot Smoker was like this in Roguetown in his early years. With his strength, he could also become a Vice-Admiral back then. After all, he was a Logian and lacked merits. Most importantly, he listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, so he stayed in Roguetown.

For Smoker, this was a downward transmission, but for Kuro, it was a good inspiration.

He could also listen to the tune but not the announcement, especially at this juncture.

Sengoku resigned and the power changed. This is the best opportunity.

With the reason of the pirate riot, he can apply to go to the Four Seas Sub-Division. At that time, he can directly become a base chief.

With the old man’s character, he will not forcibly recruit me. As for who will be the Marshal, whether it is Akainu or Aokiji, it doesn’t matter. Akainu has a radical personality. If I don’t take the initiative to improve, he will not rush to beg you.

As for Aokiji, that’s even better. That lazy personality, he will forget you if you stay there for too long.

Then in a few years, with the current level of chaos, when those newcomers come to power, the world will forget about them, let alone the Headquarters.

At that time, he would be able to live happily in his base and practice his cultivation when he had nothing to do, living a comfortable and safe life.

Don’t be too beautiful.

As for New World …

He didn’t even want to stay in the Grand Line, let alone the New World.

He is a mortal body, not an Invincible Vajra. There are so many ability users on the Grand Line. If there is another BUG ability, he will be finished if he is not careful.

Dangerous, too damn dangerous!

Not to mention New World, he was definitely on the list for Kaido and Red Hair.

Teach was dead or alive. Just two Yonkō (Four Emperors) had given him the highest level of warning.

He is not strong enough to defeat Yonkō (Four Emperors). If he goes to the New World in this state, he will go crazy.

“So, patrol well and apply to go to the Four Seas after going back. Don’t think about it. With my strength, I can only be a colonel. I am not worthy.”

Kuro waved his fishing rod and changed direction to continue fishing in the sea.
