Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

William’s Preparation

At this time, East Blue, Svitters Island.

Many people were nervously moving things, carrying a large number of boxes to the docked sailboats in the port.

“Faster, faster!”

A refined-looking middle-aged man shouted at the port, “We don’t need the cumbersome big items. Bailey, take less and bring more food and water!”

“Lady Elmira, you are…” A resident of an island asked curiously.

“We have something to deal with and we have to sail for a while,” Elmira said.

“Is that so? Is it going to be an official voyage? Can you take me with you?!” The resident said excitedly.

These words made the nearby residents excited and they all came forward.

“If you want to officially set sail, take me with you!”

“Yes! I also want to work for Sir William!”

“Lady Elmira, take me with you. I can do it too. I am also very strong!”

Looking at the brave people, Elmyra hesitated. “Wait a minute, I’ll ask William.”

He turned back to the largest of the stopped sailboats.

These ships hung the skull flag that was crossed by two swords and slightly lowered.

At this moment, in the captain’s cabin of the largest ship, a young man sat there staring at the map on the table in silence.

“William…”

Elmyra came in and was about to speak when William waved her off. “I heard you.”

“So are you going to agree?” Elmira asked.

William looked at him and said: “What do you think?”

Elmyra thought for a while and said, “If we are going to sail, I think we will improve our combat power by taking these people with us, so let’s take them with us.”

William shook his head. “No, although it can increase our combat power, if we take away all the people on the island, it will anger the World Government. We need fame to make the World Government and even the Marine think that we are not a threat. In the years in East Blue, they have regarded us as heroes. Keeping them will give the Marine the illusion that we are a businessman, so that we have enough time.”

“You are right, I will refuse them.” Elmira nodded.

“Well, pay attention to their attitude. Let them know that we just have something to do and will come back.”

Watching Elmyra leave, William sighed and picked up the dagger on the table, muttering, “Sure enough, I still have to go this far. The will of the world does not follow my wishes.”

Sam William, now thirty-one, was seven when Roger died.

At a very young age, he had dreams of becoming a pirate. At the time of Roger’s death, he was keenly aware of the coming of the Great Age of Pirates. It was a golden age. If he could become a pirate from the age of seven, even as a trainee, he would accumulate enough prestige.

At that time, he was still very young. Although he had always wanted to go to sea, he was helpless against the turbulent sea. At that time, he only thought that if a pirate group came, he would join them and become a trainee pirate.

Later, a pirate group really came—the Vicious Wolf Pirates.

At that time, he was notorious in East Blue, but for his dream, William gritted his teeth and prepared to fight to see if he could be accepted as a trainee pirate.

Although this pirate group has a bad reputation, as long as he accumulates enough prestige and power, he can replace this notorious pirate group.

There will always be a chance!

However, just as he was about to rush up and take a chance, he found a two-year-old child there holding a dagger and just swinging it.

One strike!

According to common sense, a two-year-old’s knife can’t do anything, but a single knife is enough to kill the notorious Vicious Wolf Pirates.

That scene left an unusually deep impression in William’s memory. Every time he dreamed, he became a great pirate and then he met such a child. The direction of the knife was aimed at him!

By doing this dream, he will be scared awake.

Later, he learned the name of the child, Luciru Kuro.

Two years old?!

He is already so powerful at the age of two. If he is also willing to be a pirate…

But before this idea could come up, William heard with his own ears that Kuro wanted to be a Marine in the future.

Marine!

The enemies of pirates are his natural obstacles.

However, the strength of Kuro made William not dare to be presumptuous at all. As long as he was in Shields Town, William had to restrain his ambition and make more preparations so that he would not be caught by this Kuro when he was a pirate in the future.

Later, when Kuro was fourteen years old, he ran away and became a Marine. Although they were both on an island, he still had little time to come back. William seized the opportunity at this time. At nineteen years old, he was well prepared and looked for an opportunity to go to sea.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go to sea early, but he had to know which Marine branch Kuro was in so that he would stay away from it. It would be better if he went directly to Grand Line.

But the truth is, it didn’t.

He didn’t know what was wrong with that man, but he didn’t go to Grand Line but joined the branch in Shields Town.

But William didn’t want to wait any longer. When Kuro joined the Marine, he went to sea at the right time and carefully determined the situation of Marine Branch 153 through the news of his friends in Shields Town.

Ten years ago, William officially went to sea. He was not as worthless as the intelligence said, but he was good at hiding himself.

He felt that Kuro did not go to the Grand Line, nor was he famous in the East China Sea. If a person like him is afraid of something, then what is there to be proud of? Although his swordsmanship is good, he is not proud.

William did not form a pirate group immediately. Instead, he joined a pirate group and became a trainee pirate. He bought people’s hearts and then killed the captain in one fell swoop and gathered those pirates who did not have a bounty. At this time, he still did not choose to pull the flag, but chose to continue to lie low and join other pirate groups. He has always been like this, trying his best to control himself from not having a bounty.

At the same time, as time went by, his perception changed.

He needs to be more prepared. There must be people like Kuro in the sea. He is so strong but he is not famous. In contrast, these arrogant pirate captains are like insects in his eyes. They are too stupid and weak.

That Kuro must be lying low and preparing something. In that case, he has to do it!

It was not until five years ago that the colonel of the 153rd Division was replaced by Monca, the man with the power of terror, which greatly reduced the speed of the 153rd Division’s sailing. William also felt that now was the time. He found an island, bought people’s hearts, and began the preparation phase in the East China Sea, vigorously developing business and the power of his subordinates. Although his fame was in the area near the island, his subordinates were spread over more places.

As he lurked, he stared at Kuro, wondering what he was going to do.

Later, more than two years ago, Kuro entered the Grand Line. William was completely relieved. Perhaps he was ready, but because of his long habit, he was used to making plans before taking action. He decided to secretly control the East China Sea and have a basic plan before going to the Grand Line.

Not only did he develop commerce, but he also let his subordinates protect the civilians on the island and fight against pirates, gaining a lot of prestige. He made these civilians die for him and even a small kingdom nearby began to be at his mercy.

In the East China Sea, in the sea where Kuro is not here, he is already very stable.

But now there is actually a CP coming to investigate him. Investigate him for what? Investigate him secretly controlling the island? Or investigate him preparing to subvert that country and become the king himself?

No matter what, now that the matter has been exposed, we have to escape!
