Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Tashigi, Your Hair Is Dangerous

New World.

Marine New Headquarters.

“GG… a living steel fortress.”

When the Battleship docked at the new headquarters, Kuro looked up at the huge fortress in the center of the many buildings and was a little surprised.

In the stone fortress, there were cannons of various sizes everywhere. There were heavy single-barrel cannons and small double-barrel light cannons that extended from the ground to the top of the fortress. At the top of the fortress, there was a three-story building like the Celestial Guardian Tower.

The other small fortresses were also filled with artillery. Behind these fortresses, there were two huge magnet-like buildings fixed at this end, like two doorless entrances.

This is the New World, and the magnetic field changes are abnormally strong. The existence of these two big things is used to stabilize the magnetic field of the island, so that the surrounding weather will not be so unpredictable.

After all, this is the Marine Headquarters. Naturally, they can’t be like those pirates who don’t care about anything. What they need more is stability.

There were already many ships at the port.

Marines from all over the world gathered here for the ceremony.

“Kuro, there are so many Vice-Admiral on the ship!”

Leda grabbed the corner of Kuro’s shirt and looked around excitedly.

Vice-Admiral, of course, is qualified to build his own flagship.

“Ah… I see it.”

Kuro glanced at the ships on the deck. Among the various Vice-Admiral Carriers, he also saw a Dog-Head Carrier.

Garp, the old man, also came.

“Hey, Kuro, you can also apply for a spaceship so that I can drive my spaceship back to East Blue for dinner in Barati!” Leda said excitedly.

“What stupid words are you saying!”

Kuro rolled his eyes and said angrily, “I drive a spaceship? You might as well customize a Coffin Ship for me.”

With that, the group walked down and came to the front of the port.

Marine, who was responsible for welcoming them, stood up straight and saluted Kuro and others.

Kuro directly turned on the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and dialed a number.

“Maximose, this is Kizaru.”

Den Den Mushi immediately became wretched and a frivolous voice came out.

Kuro was calling the office. He would have heard the loud noise.

“Old man, I’m here,” Kuro said to Den Den Mushi as he walked.

“Oh, Kuro, you’re here.”

The Den Den Mushi opened its mouth and made a surprised sound, and then said, “Then come directly, I’m upstairs.”

“I see… Wait, I’ll walk around first and see you later.”

Kuro glanced over and suddenly saw a familiar figure. After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he called out, “Hey, Smoker!”

At the other end of the port, a familiar figure was talking to a woman in a flowery shirt and a Marine cape. The woman just nodded her head pitifully.

Hearing the voice, the figure turned his head and was stunned. “Kuro?!”

“It’s really you, your appearance has changed a lot.”

Kuro walked over and sized up Smoker.

After not seeing him for a long time, Smoker’s appearance has changed a lot. He is still wearing a Marine jacket, but he has also put on a cloak that he never wore before.

“Ah! Rear Admiral Kuro!”

Opposite Smoker, when Dasky saw him, she immediately smiled. She stood still and saluted. “Long time no see, Rear Admiral Kuro! And Leda and Crowe.”

“Long time no see.”

Kuro sized up Tashigi and took out a cigar from the chest of Smoker’s jacket and put it in his arms.

“Tashigi, I haven’t seen you for such a long time, you have become much prettier, but this hairstyle is very dangerous, but I admire it.” Kuro smiled at Tashigi.

At this moment, Tashigi had already grown her long hair and tied it into a bun. It was a little like the hairstyle that other wives often used. Her face had also grown a lot and she looked like a gentle and virtuous intellectual wife. Similarly, her figure was also better.

“Hey, Kuro!”

Lida unhappily gave Kuro a kick on his thigh and then said to Dasky, “Long time no see, Dasky.”

“Kuro!”

Smoker stared at him and said, “Don’t you have it yourself? Why do you want to take my cigar when you see me!”

“Sorry, it’s convenient.”

Kuro shrugged and looked at him. “It seems that your life in G-5 is a little cruel. What’s with the scar on your head?”

On Smoker’s sunglasses, there was a curved scar that stretched from the top of his right eye to the left hairline, making him look more ferocious.

Although this man has always looked scary.

“This is a small price to pay for destroying the pirates. It can’t be compared to you, you…”

Smoker pursed his lips and said, “But he killed Ledfield.”

“Let’s not mention this and we’ll still be good friends.”

Kuro rolled his eyes and patted Smoker on the shoulder. “Let’s go find a place to drink.”

“You bastard…”

Smoker looked up at Kuro and smiled. “You’ve grown a lot!”

Originally, Kuro was a head shorter than him, but now, he was more than a head taller than Smoker and could already look down on Smoker.

Smoker used to be 2.1 meters tall, but it seems to have been a little longer, but it is no more than 2.5 meters, and Kuro has reached 2.8 meters.

“Ah… I inexplicably grew taller, don’t worry about this,” Kuro said.

“Don’t you want to report to Admiral Kizaru?” Smoker asked.

“That kind of thing is not urgent. Anyway, the ceremony is still early.”

“Okay, then drink some, wait… who’s treating?” Smoker suddenly became alert.

“Don’t worry.”

Kuro invited Smoker’s shoulder and led him forward. “I am fucking rich now!”

With the industry of Pegasus Island and the taxation of Sabaody Archipelago, he can be regarded as a big dog in this world.

The present is different from the past. In the past, when he was a lieutenant, before his business was developed, he still thought about his salary as a Marine, but now, he doesn’t care about the salary of a Rear Admiral.

However, when Marines reach the position of a colonel, they will basically be a local base commander and will not lack money.

Ah… the decadent feudal and capitalist society is really too ugly!

Hmm! Too ugly!

The new headquarters naturally has a Marine residence, but the family members still live in Marin Vando. The defense power of that place is not low, and as the Marine Gateway of the New World, if there are family members here, it adds some weaknesses.

Sakasugi will not allow this to happen, so basically Marines live here. Of course, commerce is also allowed to communicate here.

Restaurants, taverns, and entertainment facilities. There are still places where Marines can relax.

After all, the existence of the canteen cannot make people too relaxed.
