Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Are You Polite?

Zatanossen, private hot spring bath.

“Hu…”

In a private large bath, Kuro placed his hands flat on the side of the bath and exhaled.

Beside him, there was also a small exquisite table with sake and wine cups on it.

On the other side of the small table was Smoker, who was doing the same thing as him.

Behind them, two maids were attentively massaging their shoulders.

The two of them picked up the wine cup filled with sake at the same time and took a sip, looking comfortable.

“Hey, Kuro…”

Placing the wine cup on the wooden table, Smoker said, “I heard that you seem to be against Fujitora abolishing Shichibukai.”

“Ah… that’s right.”

Kuro nodded and looked up at the maid. “Please be heavy, I am tired.”

“Yes.” The maid responded gently.

Sigh, the evil capital feudal society.

As long as you have money, you can do anything.

If this society’s martial strength is still full…

“Why do you object?”

Smoker said in a deep voice: “Are you the same as those old diehards? You think that Shichibukai can bring us help.”

Kuro rolled his eyes. “Don’t curse, what do you mean by old stubborn? You don’t have a clear objection yourself, you know it very well in your heart. Although they are very annoying, they are indeed useful in maintaining balance. What’s wrong with letting pirates deal with pirates? Besides, you should have heard my proposition.”

“Can that claim really be realized? I don’t think the higher-ups will delegate power to us,” Smoker asked.

“Who knows.” Kuro shrugged. “I just proposed and then someone agreed. It’s as simple as that. Whether it works or not depends on God. Smoker, although we maintain stability and peace, we have to accept reality. You know that Big Mom is starting to have contact with Kaido.”

Smoker nodded solemnly. “If two Yonkō (Four Emperors) really make contact, the world will become chaotic.”

Kuro said, “They used to be in the same boat. It’s not about their relationship. They are really in the same boat. You have heard the rumor, right?”

Smoker’s eyes became a little gloomy and he said in a deep voice, “Lox… I heard Tina mention it.”

“It’s good that they know, so the best way is for Shichibukai to stay. But in the current Shichibukai, except for that one person, they may not go up if something really happens. Pirates are pirates after all, so the best result is for us to choose a new reliable person.”

Kuro hooked his hand and two cigars flew out of his clothes. One fell into his hand and the other floated in front of Smoker.

“Hey, you took my cigarette again!” Smoker said angrily.

“Don’t mind it, smoking some bad stuff once in a while can also change the taste.” Kuro bit the cigar and hooked his hand, the lighter flew over and he held it in his hand and lit the cigar.

Are you polite!

Smoker pulled the corners of his mouth and bit the cigar. He snatched the lighter from Kuro and lit it.

“Let’s pick someone…”

Smoker exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked up at the smoke ball condensed above. “If it’s really possible, I want to recommend a candidate. He should be able to do it.”

In the smoke, a cheerful head wearing a straw hat appeared.

Among the pirates, there were not many who he had a good impression of. It could even be said that there were very few.

“The candidate you recommended?”

Kuro looked at him for a while and said, “It’s not Straw Hat, is it?”

Smoker was silent for a moment, nodded and smiled. “But he probably won’t. After all, he is the one who wants to be Pirate King.”

“It’s good that you know. Not to mention that you won’t come in, even if you do, that kind of big head will turn the world upside down.”

Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke. “If we can really pass, let’s talk about this.”

Mary Joa.

Pangu Palace.

In the conference hall where the World Conference is held.

In the huge round table sat the kings of fifty countries.

Among the many participating countries, except for those who are very necessary to participate in the World Conference, most of them are chosen by turns. After all, there are many participating countries and not many seats.

But basically, it is the big countries that lead the small countries to fight for their own interests to get their own demands.

The World Conference this time was similar.

But this kind of thing has been going on for two days.

At this moment, these kings are all silent because they have already confronted their demands in the past two days and have temporarily fallen into stagnation. This stagnation period is just the time for them to talk about world policy.

“I have a proposal.”

King Cobra of Alabasta suddenly stood up and stared at the many kings and said, “About Shichibukai, I have an idea. The current Shichibukai is not as prestigious as before, and Shichibukai itself will cause disaster to the country. My country, Alabasta, and King David, your country, Dressrosa, has also suffered the disaster of Shichibukai, so my idea is to completely abolish the Shichibukai system!”

“Abolish Shichibukai?”

A few kings of other countries nodded. “It’s not impossible. The current Shichibukai is indeed not as prestigious as before. It’s useless to keep it. We have even increased some of the funding. It’s better to cut it.”

“I agree. They can’t provide protection now. Straw Hat has defeated a lot of Shichibukai. Now the pirates are not afraid of Shichibukai at all.”

“Yeah, Shichibukai without any power, isn’t he just an ordinary pirate?”

Cobra listened to these kings and stared at David.

In his opinion, this ‘Conquest King’ would agree.

After all, the ‘trauma’ that Dressrosa suffered was much stronger than Alabasta.

“I don’t agree!”

As many kings gradually joined the formation, a voice suddenly sounded.

Under Cobra’s shocked eyes, David stood up and said: “Shichibukai cannot be abolished!”

“King David!”

Cobra said in a deep voice: “Have you forgotten the disaster of your country?”

“No, but that is just an example. It cannot radiate to all Shichibukai.”

David said, “The Shichibukai is an important means to maintain the balance of the sea and a guarantee against Yonkō (Four Emperors). If it is abolished rashly, it will only add to the stability of the world. It is not something that you can abolish just because you want to, King Cobra.”

As he spoke, he looked around and said, “But the current Shichibukai is indeed not as powerful as before. In contrast, they are more harmful than beneficial. But I have a proposal. Why don’t we re-elect Shichibukai and let the experienced people make a choice and give the power of choosing Shichibukai to the experienced Marines from the World Government. They know pirates very well and can definitely choose people with enough combat power and prestige to continue to maintain our sea balance.”
