Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

You and I are the Only Swordsmen in the World

Marine invited pirates for a drink, which is not allowed.

But if the other party is Shichibukai, then it’s a different story.

And it was Hawkeye of Shichibukai.

Everyone who becomes Shichibukai has their own purpose.

Jorakol Mihawk became Shichibukai in order to fight against those swordsmen on the sea. After all, there are obviously more swordsmen among pirates than Marines.

Crocodile’s original intention as Shichibukai was for Hades, not that old man, but the ancient weapon “Hades” and the power of a big country.

Moonlight Moria wanted to re-accumulate her strength and then challenge Kaido again.

Boa Hancock is to enjoy the prerogative of the Shichibukai and to make her country better.

Jinbe’s Shichibukai is to protect the power of the Merman Race.

Bartholomew Kuma is a Shichibukai… In any case, according to Kuro’s understanding, it is to transmit intelligence about the World Government and Grand Line to the Revolutionary Army.

Doflamingo became Shichibukai, the purest of all, in order to be Pirate King, but his purpose of being Pirate King was to pull the arrogant idiots of Mariejois into the sea.

This is the old school Shichibukai, where the bear was recycled after it was cut by Kuro last time, Moria is also gone, Crocodile is nowhere to be found, Jinbe also escaped.

Among the new faction, including Tiki.

Becoming Shichibukai is entirely to advance the city, accumulate power, and then kill Whitebeard.

If there was no War Of The Best, he would also find a chance to kill Whitebeard, but that should be many years later.

Trafalgar Law’s Shichibukai should be for a certain flamingo.

As for Bucky …

‘I don’t understand.’

These Shichibukai enjoy special privileges and are naturally under pressure.

Once the World Government feels that their crimes are too serious or useless, their position will be seized and they will even be killed on the spot.

After all, not everyone can be in this position. Once they fail, the consequences will generally not be good.

Shichibukai is not allowed to lose.

Just as Sengoku said back then: Don’t lose again. If you continue to lose, I don’t know if Shichibukai will exist.

In the cafeteria of Sabaody Marine Station, Kuro and Hawkeye found a secluded private room and drank there.

“Are you really not going to compete with me?”

Hawkeye and Kuro clinked glasses and drank the wine in the glass. “Among the famous swordsmen, only you haven’t competed with me.”

“Forget it, I am not a famous swordsman, you think too highly of me.”

Kuro also finished the wine in his glass. “There are too many famous swordsmen on the sea. You can find someone else. For example, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates’ Fifth Division, ‘Flower Sword’ Vista, is one of the top swordsmen.”

“I have competed with him before. Although he is very strong, he is not my opponent,” Hawkeye said.

In the War Of The Best, they sparred for a while. Hawkeye enjoyed it, but in all seriousness, Vista was not his opponent.

Kuro thought for a moment and said, “Desrosa, there used to be a ‘Sword Fighter’ who was quite famous. If you have nothing to do, go and find him.”

Hawkeye frowned. “Is there such a person? I seem to have heard of him, but I don’t seem to have any impression of him. Strange, a powerful swordsman, I should remember him. You won’t lie to me about his name.”

This stunned Kuro for a moment. Only then did he remember that that guy seemed to be a toy now.

Sugar’s BUG ability is not just when people become toys, it can even make their existence disappear from the memory of others.

I can remember it completely because I still remember a little bit of the original work.

“Then change it.”

Kuro said, “Cavendish, the supernova the year before last, ‘Rommel’s Scythe, should solve your hunger.”

“I have heard his words, but I can only use a little strength in my sleep. Normal words are not enough to interest me.”

“Shiliu of the Rain!”

Kuro continued, “The original Warden of Impel Down, Big Sword, is as strong as Magellan. Magellan, you know, is very strong.”

“Shiliew? His strength is not bad, but his character is too despicable. If you look for him to compete, you will be intercepted by Blackbeard.”

“Hades Rayleigh!”

Kuro frowned and said, “Former Pirate King’s deputy, Great Swordsman, isn’t this man enough for you to enjoy?”

“Old.”

Hawkeye said seriously, “There is no point in winning against the older generation. I am not interested in people who are not active in the sea.”

“What about Yonkō (Four Emperors), ‘Red Hair’ Shanks… Forget it, forget I said it.”

Kuro remembered that this guy often came with Shanks and they were still good friends.

Back when he was at the top, he cut Red Hair and he immediately took sides.

“I’m not interested in competing with someone who is missing a hand.”

Hawkeye’s eyes were burning. “I only want to fight against swordsmen who are in their peak state. I am not interested in those who are retired, disabled, and new. Besides, I don’t think they can defeat me.”

“Ha? Defeating you? That’s not easy. You are the world’s number one swordsman. Then tell me, is there any swordsman in the world who can compete with you?”

Kuro took out a cigar and was about to light it.

Hawkeye pointed at Kuro and said, “Among all the swordsmen in the world, only I can fight you.”

BOOM!!!

A loud noise came from nowhere, startling Kuro so much that the cigar in his mouth fell out.

He looked at the cigar that fell on the floor in a daze and frowned. He turned into a shadow and directly broke through the wall of the private room and flew out.

Not because of Hawkeye’s words, but because of the sound.

That is not Ray, and this is not a rainy day.

It was the sound of a cannonball and… he felt an extremely powerful aura.

Outside the Sabaody Archipelago, a huge black shadow rushed over at high speed.

The speed was so fast that even though there was still some distance from the surface of the sea, it still separated the sea and created a gully.

A huge black shadow quickly approached Sabaody Archipelago and covered one of the areas.

“Hey, what is that thing!”

Leda stared blankly as the black shadow approached. She couldn’t see it clearly.

Just as the black shadow fell quickly and was about to hit the ground, a golden figure flashed in the air and quickly came to the black shadow.

Shua!

The golden Half Moon Light quickly flashed on the black shadow, stopping its speed.

Only then did people see the details of the black shadow.

It was a huge cannonball!

Golden Slash forcefully resisted the cannonball and flew back to the sea far away from Sabaody Archipelago. The cannonball emitted a ball of fire and exploded in the air.

BOOM!!!

The powerful air wave caused a huge tsunami to surge in all directions. The wind was like a storm, blowing down the buildings and trees along the coast.

It also blew Kuro’s robe in the air and his hair danced wildly.

“This kind of cannonball…”

Kuro’s eyes flashed red as he looked at the distant sea and gritted his teeth. “What a joke! Why is this guy here?! Has Hancock lost?!!”
