Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Rare Beast Island

On the other side of the island, a huge golden ship also docked there and immediately landed.

The island is divided into two sides. One side is a forest that takes up most of the island and falls on top. Below it is a cliff and the bottom of the cliff is surrounded by Gobi shoals.

“This is…”

Leda came down and looked at the island. “Ah! I’ve been to this island before. It’s the ‘Legendary Island’.”

“Legend Island?”

Kuro and Crowe spoke together, showing surprise.

“Is it this island?”

Kuro looked up and stared at the big forest above. “I’ve heard about it before. It’s said that there are gods living on the island. Those who approach will be cursed.”

Crowe nodded. “He is very famous in the pirate circle of East Blue. It is said that someone grew a wild boar’s head overnight, and someone’s beard suddenly became very long and he hanged himself. But that was in the past…”

In East Blue, Crowe would also blame this phenomenon on curses and legends.

But now you have to tell him that a man suddenly grew a boar’s head overnight. He will tell you that he may have eaten a Devil Fruit. Similarly, a beard can grow long enough to hang people.

“Lida, what is on the island? Devil Fruit? No… I don’t think so. If there is, you can’t see me.” Kuro looked at Lida.

There won’t be any Devil Fruit. With her nature, if she really encountered it, she would probably swallow it without looking. If there are two Devil Fruit, she will directly die here.

“There are only some strange beasts and delicious fruits.”

Leda licked her lips. “The fruits on this island are very delicious. I ate a lot of them at that time. By the way, there is also a treasure chest uncle.”

“Uncle Treasure Chest?” Kuro asked.

“Yes! He’s a good uncle, but he often stays in the box and can’t come out. There are many good beasts inside, and a good island.” Leda nodded.

“Didn’t you stay then?” Kuro asked again.

Leda pursed her lips. “I want to eat meat. Although there are wild beasts here, their intelligence is too high, just like humans. I can’t eat them. I’ll get tired of eating fruit all the time. Then there’s an uncle here. It’s so boring. I don’t want to be here.”

“So that’s how it is, Rare Beast?”

Kuro looked up. “Let’s go take a look. I haven’t been here in East Blue for so many years. I want to know what this rare beast is like.”

Seeing that Kuro seemed to be ready to move, the stork also followed him and said, “Are you going up? I want to go too and see if there are any good ingredients.”

“Well, okay, let’s go together.” Kuro nodded.

“Ah? You want to grab a chicken…”

“Stop it right now!!”

Kuro shouted directly, interrupting the rest of the sentence.

“Ah? You said you can’t?” Stork tilted his head.

Kuro rolled his eyes. “Lida!”

“Sister, Kuro said we can go together.” Leda giggled.

Stork was a little confused. “Didn’t I just say together? Why should I repeat it?”

“I…”

Mr. Ku gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap himself.

Why should he talk to her properly?

Crowe had a bad feeling and grabbed Kuro’s hand and dissuaded him. “Don’t do this, Mr. Kuro, don’t do this.”

Kuro gave him a satisfied look and lowered his hand.

You’re smart. If you didn’t stop me, I would have slapped you.

… .

Bringing the armadillo, Kuro ordered some Marines to go up from the shoal next door and walk all the way to the forest above.

Even though it was still daytime, the forest had always been dark. Most of the trees here were dense, and there were only a few places where the trees were shallow, shining sunlight.

“Yes?”

Stork squatted in front of a plant that looked like flytrap and looked at it carefully.

“Hiss…”

The plant suddenly opened its mouth and bit the air.

The stork’s eyes were quick and its fingers were covered with a layer of Haki.

There was a cracking sound and a ball of sparks shot out of Stork’s fingers.

“Oh… the power is not bad. It can bite through human bones. Is it a carnivorous type?”

Stork opened the flytrap’s mouth with his hand and looked inside. “Unfortunately, it’s not an ingredient. Maybe I can use medicine… I’ll take it back and show it to Fanny.”

She released her hand and grabbed the root of the plant, pulling it out and stuffing it into her bag.

She looked up and saw a banana hanging on a tree full of patterns.

The stork sniffed and reached out to pick the banana. It peeled off the skin, revealing the smooth and one-colored flesh inside.

“It’s a little Devil Fruit’s skin, but the taste is very sweet. It’s an ordinary fruit.” Stork took a bite and nodded. “It tastes good.”

“Well…”

She said to the nearby Marines, “Fruits and plants, as long as you find them strange, please pick them. I want these things.”

Kuro’s mouth twitched. What is this? Are bandits entering the village?

They are Marines!

“Roar…”

Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the forest.

The group of people looked over and saw a golden light flashing out.

A beast with golden fur, a face like a lion and a tiger, and a golden majestic mane rushed out.

“Roar!”

The lion roared at them, its two teeth hanging on its upper jaw like swords.

“Lion? No, Tiger?!”

A crowd of Marines froze.

This thing raised its head and narrowed its eyes, as if it enjoyed the frightened expressions of everyone.

But soon, it did not find that these people were not completely frightened. The expressions of the first few humans were very stable, and they did not even look at it.

“Hey, Kuro, this thing really looks like a Devil Fruit.”

Leda excitedly picked a round fruit that looked a little like a cantaloupe. It also had a pattern on it, but it was not spiral.

“But this is not yo. They taste very good and smell very sweet. It’s similar to the fruit that Sister Stork took. They are all very delicious things.” Leda smiled.

Seeing that they were ignoring him, the beast took two steps forward in dissatisfaction and roared.

“Roar!!” This time the voice was a little louder.

Kuro glanced at him. “Don’t argue.”

At a glance, the beast seemed to have met its natural enemy. Its body went limp and it lay on the ground, trembling.

Kuro took the fruit from Leda’s hand and sniffed it. “It really is. This island is really strange.”

As he spoke, he looked at the strange beast. “What are you? You don’t look like a tiger or a lion. Your fur color is not bad. You should be able to make a cloak.”

These words made the Golden Lion Tiger tremble even more. It directly hugged its head with its claws and buried its head even lower.

“It has human wisdom and can understand it, but I don’t think I have seen this kind before.” Leda looked up curiously.

Bang!

At this moment, a sound came from the depths.

“Gunshots?” Crowe turned to look and there were red dots in his eyes.

“Mr. Kuro… there is a lot of life,” he said.

“Oh? Is it that Treasure Chest Uncle? He has a gun.” Leda said, “I’ll go find him.”

“Let me do it, Miss Lida!”

Basil took a step forward and said to her, “You don’t need to do such a small thing yourself.”

With that, he waved his hand and led a dozen Marines in the direction of the gunshots.
