Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

If I Take It, It’s Also a Guard

At the top of the palace, at the dining table, Leda sat there eating and stuffing food into her mouth.

“Oh… It does taste good.”

Kuro tasted the fried rice and nodded slightly.

Dress Prawn Seafood Fried Rice, Rosette Squid Macaroni, Succubus Pumpkin Frozen Soup.

This is Dressrosa’s most commendable delicacy.

At the long table, Doflamingo sat in the main seat, staring gloomily at Kuro, who was eating. On the other side, Yixiao also sat there, pouring himself a glass of wine and drinking it slowly.

“Hey, it’s rare to see Marines and pirates eating together.” Doflamingo sneered.

“It has happened before.”

Kuro pushed the pumpkin frozen soup to Leda, who was looking at them and said lightly, “When we were at the top, didn’t we eat quite happily?”

“Stop it.”

Doflamingo gritted his teeth. At this moment, a huge figure walked over.

“Young Master, I brought him here!”

A man in orange furry clothes with two chains tied to his body and four strands of hair growing out of his head like a fan came with an old man with white hair.

“Oh, King Riku?”

Doflamingo stood up and walked to the old man and grabbed him. He turned around and said, “I also let the Marine who ‘accidentally entered’ go. Kuro, you better remember your promise.”

With that, he walked out of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Buffalo swallowed his saliva and followed.

He did not dare to stay in this place.

Only the four Marines were left in the restaurant.

“Brother, what are you doing here? It doesn’t seem like you’re here to arrest someone, right? You showed too much mercy just now.” Kuro asked after taking a bite of rice.

“I just want to confirm what the country where Shichibukai is like to decide what to do next.”

A smile slowly said: “Although I am just a recruit, since I have joined the Marine, I also have my own demands, which are to completely abolish the Shichibukai system.”

Hearing this, Kuro frowned slightly.

“Oh? There’s a change in your aura… Little Brother Kuro, do you disagree?” asked Laughing.

“You can’t say that…”

Kuro poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip. “Pirates are a group of restless existences in the end, but they can indeed balance the combat power of the sea. The World Government gives pirates special privileges, and pirates provide combat power for the World Government when necessary. Compared to Yonkō (Four Emperors), Shichibukai is still far from enough.”

“If it’s just to find the evidence of that Flamingo, I don’t care, but Shichibukai’s system… Brother, you should think about it. Some pirates are forced to the opposite side, there’s no need.”

“I will consider it. For the time being, it depends on how this country is. Although I can’t see anything, because of this, I can perceive that this country has a bottomless darkness…”

Laughing stood up and walked out. “Maybe those pirates can reveal something.”

Kuro looked at the departing figure with a smile and shook his head slightly. “Observation Haki? It’s amazing, but… it’s indeed time.”

One Smile’s Kenbonshoku (Observation) can detect a lot of things, especially emotions. Although he doesn’t know as much as me, he can feel it exactly.

Those toys are essentially living things, and they have their own memories. It’s just that they can’t say it.

Kuro knew very well what was hidden under those toys, and Yixiao probably noticed the thoughts of those toys.

Only, for the moment, there is no definitive evidence.

Although Kuro knew it, his words were useless. If he wanted to convict someone, he had to rely on hard evidence, not just talk about it.

Moore scratched his head and said, “It sounds like a very troublesome thing, Vice Admiral Kuro.”

“Just treat it as coming over to watch a show. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Kuro stood up and walked out of the window. “Moore, go find Bastille and confirm the situation of Maynard. Tell them that there is no need to pursue the pirates who broke in here for the time being. Just put on a show. Let them handle the pirates themselves. We Marines don’t have to get involved. Also, protect the safety of the civilians here and… the safety of those toys.”

“Yes, yes…”

Moore nodded and disappeared from his seat in a flash.

When he came to the island, he had already covered the road signs.

“What a convenient ability…”

Kuro rushed out of the window and looked down at the Battle Arena. He narrowed his eyes and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, there was no need for him to think too much.

In just half a day, when Leda was still eating unscrupulously, she heard a loud sound.

The building above them was cut open and the high tower of the palace broke off. The gravel fell down and landed on the food in front of Leda.

“Kuro!”

Leda looked at Kuro, who was sitting at the head of the table and smoking a cigar.

Kuro looked up and his eyes moved. Because of the lack of a barrier, he directly saw a room in front of him. There was a line clone of Doflamingo with his head cut off, a warrior with a broken leg and a big sword, Straw Hat, Law, and…

“Oh! Is this lady good-looking?” Kuro glanced at Viola and raised his eyebrows.

“Huh?” Leda’s eyes immediately changed.

“Okay, let’s go. You have eaten enough.”

Soon, Kuro stood up and walked out.

“Where are we going?” Leda tilted her head.

“I owe that bird a favor and have to guard the factory for him, but now…”

Kuro looked down. There were no more toys on the street. They had all become people.

The World Government, Marines, Revolutionary Army, and pirates were already in a mess.

“I don’t think this factory is suitable to be placed here, but it’s better for me to keep it. This is also keeping the promise of this Flamingo.” Kuro said with confidence.

This was the only thing he could take advantage of here.

Doflamingo is the largest arms dealer in the Underworld, and he is known as ‘Joker’. In addition to the main trade with Kaido of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), there are traces of his involvement in both pirate and national wars.

Everything depended on his weapon factory under the palace and the factory of man-made Devil Fruit.

Kuro doesn’t care about the Artificial Devil Fruit. That thing is useless, and it can only increase combat power.

But those weapons, including the factory itself, cannot be missed.

As soon as he landed, he had already noticed the large amount of life force underground in the palace.

It was so big that there must be a lot of things.

“But before that…”

Kuro walked in the direction of Doflamingo. “There are some things that we have to warn him about. It’s better not to involve the innocent.”
