Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

After Kaz finished shouting, the entire scene fell silent. The Marines, who were originally whispering because of Kuro’s orders, now stared at Kuro with their eyes wide open. Their eyes spun back and forth between him and Kaz and finally landed on Kuro.

There was extreme shock, confusion, and doubt in his eyes, but in the end, he seemed to understand something and it turned into relief and excitement.

‘Yeah!’

They can!

The veins on Smoker’s arm popped out because of the force. He gritted his teeth and looked over in shock.

His body was shaking.

There was fear and excitement, but most of it was the shaking caused by extreme shock.

What are you doing!

What is he trying to do!!

“You bastard…”

Smoker wanted to aim his weapon at Kuro on the high platform, but when he was about to raise his arm, the words of the bearded man sounded in his head.

Mary Joa and the others…

More Pirate than Pirate!!

They are not righteous at all.

If only… if only…

That is to say, is there a possibility that it is really as the bearded man said? After they hit Mary Joa and deal with those vermin, the world… will really calm down.

At that time, justice is justice and it will not be mixed with anything else.

As long as we end the wave of people above!

“Tina… is shocked.” Tina’s hands drooped and she murmured.

Onigumo bit the cigar in his mouth tightly. The smoke shrouded his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but the two swords in his hands were tightly gripped.

The expressions of the other Marines changed from shock and confusion to understanding something, revealing an eager look.

“What, what’s wrong?” Kirby couldn’t react. He thought Cass had a point. He had already hit the pirates of Mary Joa, just like Cass said.

In Shichibukai, except for Bucky who was a little stunned and didn’t react, the others all had different expressions.

Rudolf clenched his fists tightly and his face was a little flushed. He looked at Kaz with almost admiration and then looked at Kuro on the high platform with even more admiration.

He had the deepest understanding!

Rudolf, who comes from a race of Half-Mermaids that are discriminated against and not accepted by humans and Murlocs, is the person who can understand unfair treatment the most.

Why does he want to be a pirate? Isn’t it because if he doesn’t resist, the Half-Merman won’t be able to live.

Rudolf has been to many places and always wants to find a pure land, not even a place for them to live, but to integrate into other races. As long as others can accept them, it is enough.

But no matter how he searched, he could not find that place. It was not until after Kuro went on stage and the news of the Shichibukai selection came that he took the risk.

In the end, it really worked. It could even be said that his dream came true.

Now, Half-Mermaids from all over the world are constantly gathering under his command. With Shichibukai’s position, he has given his tribe a place to live.

All of this was brought about by Kuro.

What impressed Rudolf the most was that Kuro did not discriminate against them at all. No matter what race they were, they seemed to be the same in his eyes.

He stared blankly at the person on the high platform and could not help but think of something that Kuro had said to him when he visited once…

“Do you have a brain? Oh, yes, you can think and eat and hide at home on rainy days… No, you Half-Mermaid probably don’t care about rain.”

“But this kind of thing is just like that. It has feelings, it can talk, it can think independently and it can communicate. Its habits are all similar. Isn’t it just a person? Don’t you still have to eat? Can you just eat human flesh?”

Although these words were rather vulgar, to Rudolph at that time, Kuro who was cursing at that time was almost glowing!

Ah…

Kuro, who treated them equally and did not distinguish them by their status and bloodline, was his God at that time!

And now!

Kuro wanted to hit Mariejois and spread this grace to the sea. This Pirate King… is even more shocking!

Freedom does not have to rely on the so-called Pirate King who is illusory and does not even know if he can do it. Now, there is someone who will give them ‘freedom’!

Why not seize this opportunity!

Rudolf gritted his teeth and spat out the words, “The enemy is in Mariejois!”

William, on the other hand, was in a daze. He had always felt that there was something wrong with Kuro. He clearly had such strong strength and power, but why was he so willing to listen to the World Government’s arrangements? All the strong people have a temper. The former Admiral Aokiji could leave the Marine because his ideas were not compatible, but why was Kuro like a marionette?

Now he understands …

In the face of greater ambition, those powers are indeed not important. Now he has a chance!

“I lost… …”

William shook his head and laughed at himself.

From a young age, he had lost.

At the age of seven, he could be frightened by the two-year-old Kuro. Now at the age of 35, he was completely defeated by Kuro, who was almost 30.

Big Pirate?

He might have already achieved it, especially now that the Emperor of the Sea is dead, he is now a great pirate.

But how can the Great Pirate compare to the King of the World!

“Interesting…”

Mihawk looked up at Kuro with his hawk-like eyes under the brim of his hat, and his mouth curved into a smile.

“So that’s what you’re planning. It’s been a long time… It makes my blood boil!”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Crocodile laughed out loud, a strange and staccato laugh, almost tears of laughter, his eyes full of ferocity.

“It’s interesting that you still have such ambition. Of course I will participate in this kind of thing.”

The lower half of Katakuri’s face could not be seen under the scarf, but his eyes were full of black lines, and then he held the trident tightly. Although he did not speak, his attitude was clear.

How could he not participate in such a banquet?

“Ah…”

On the other side of the battlefield, Hancock’s whole body was trembling violently, and then she made an alluring sound and directly sat on the ground, rubbing her legs together.

Her face was flushed and she kept panting, as if she had been strongly stimulated. She looked at Kuro with blurred eyes.

It was not that she suddenly liked something.

As the enemy who killed Lord Luffy, Hancock wanted revenge.

But this was only until the bearded man did not speak, and after saying that, Hancock did not even have the mood.

He did not give up, but his heart was filled with revenge.

They …

He wants to kill tenryubito!!

It was not the concept of beating up tenryubito like Lord Luffy, but the kind of complete killing, removing tenryubito, removing the source of evil, the existence that brought her great psychological trauma…

Complete extinction!!

And what can do this kind of thing is that their Marines are more likely to do it, because the resistance against tenryubito is no longer destructive, and the Demon Slayer Token… is no longer facing them.

“Yes?”

On the high platform, Kuro glanced at everyone and frowned.

What is the situation with these people?

Don’t want to fight anymore? That won’t do. We’ve already fought until now. It’s fine to move again.

After eliminating the pirates, wouldn’t everyone be at ease?

With that thought in mind, he looked at Cass again and shook his head.

Even if he has Haoshoku (Haoshoku) Haki, he still hasn’t grown up in the end. He is a man of little words, so he still needs me to speak up for him.

“Cough!”

He coughed and his voice traveled into the ears of everyone present, making those with different expressions look up at him.

“That’s it.”

His expression darkened as he slowly said, “Cass’s words are my words. Now, all of you turn to Mary Joa and destroy those evil and hateful people so that justice can be implemented and save the world.”

As for Kaz, as someone with Haoshoku (Haoshoku), he might be able to replace his position in the future. Even if his combat power is not enough, he can definitely take over the position of his faction.

Although older than him, if he retires early…

It’s not impossible.

**TIP**

Calm Belt location.

Sengoku looked at Kuro’s words on the screen and an aura appeared around him, directly shattering his glasses.

He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the screen, speechless for a long time.

Even Garp, who had lost his grandson in grief, stared blankly and suddenly laughed.

“Puhahaha, too powerful, Kuro!”

“Oh, how terrible.”

On the other side, Kizaru pushed up his brown sunglasses and his pouting mouth slowly relaxed as he looked up in the direction of Mariejois.

Sakasugi’s fists almost turned into lava. He lowered his head and bit his cigar. The hat covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression. After a long time, he said something.

“Evil… is it?”

“Sigh…”

As the General Staff, Crane, who had been commanding at the front line, sighed silently.

“No wonder you returned to Kuzan. Are you preparing for this? Your justice…”

Crane pursed his lips and looked up at the sky. “The world… has changed so much that I can’t see it clearly.”

In the past, she used to say that snakes have snakes, rats have rats, and experts have skills, but at this moment, she could not see what Kuro wanted to do.
