Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

But, I Refuse!

In addition to him, there are Leda and Crowe, who also rose.

Leda became the Division Captain and Crowe became the Division Captain.

Which meant a sergeant and a corporal.

Kuro felt that there was nothing wrong with their promotion, and it didn’t matter. These two pirates caught a few pirates who wanted to enter the Grand Line in Roguetown with Tashigi. It was normal for them to be promoted from third-class soldiers.

After all, their positions are indeed low. It’s good to be promoted a little, and it’s not good not to be promoted.

Moreover, when third-class soldiers come to the military, there will be a lot of them and they will not attract attention.

The point is… how did I get promoted?

He had never caught a pirate.

Has Crocodile’s attack been exposed?

Impossible. That credit was given by the government to Smoker and Tashigi. There is no share for him. Since it is gone, it must be gone. There is nothing to make up for in the future. It is definitely not because of that promotion.

Headquarters has also trained him to perform well. Even if he defeated Kirby, who is the Head of Headquarters Cao, he has already been transferred to Headquarters Warrant Officer, so he naturally has no credit.

Could it be that fighting with this old man is also a credit?

Impossible. Even the government followed procedure.

Moreover, that battle was private and no one knew.

Escort Robin?

Stop fooling around. Judicial Island has already been beaten to such a state and CP9 has already taken the blame for it. If they really succeed in escorting them, it can be counted as a contribution. Now that everything is gone, it is good that it is not recorded in the records.

So, how the hell did I get promoted?

Kuro sat there looking at the documents and subconsciously covered his head with his hands, his head tilted to one side.

Like a canada duck.

Kizaru looked at him and explained, “It’s East Blue. Your former subordinates used your name to boost the morale of many Marines in East Blue and caught a lot of pirates. Although they are all small pirates, there are a lot of them. So even if you are not directly involved, Headquarters took into account your special fame in East Blue and promoted you.”

East Blue?

East Blue!

Kuro’s eyes widened and a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in his mind.

“I…”

Kuro swallowed the word ‘f*ck’ and took a few deep breaths. He grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp.

I’m already on the Grand Line and I’m so far away from you, but you still won’t let me go?!

Kaz!!!

“Well, are you so happy that you don’t know what to say?”

Kizaru looked at him and said with a smile, “That’s true. If I had such a subordinate, I don’t know how easy it would be.”

Happy your mother!

Kuro angrily pulled the document away, looking like he wanted to tear it up immediately.

“By the way, I have something important to tell you.”

Kizaru said, “Three days ago, Captain Potkas D. Ace of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates was captured by Captain Marshall D. Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates, and he was promoted to Shichibukai. Do you know what this means?”

Kuro’s face darkened. Has this already happened?

“Well, Blackbeard gave us a difficult problem, but Headquarters and the World Government decided to take Portgas D. Ace into custody after studying him. You know what I mean, Kuro.”

Kuro said, “If we hand over Portgas D. Ace, then Marine’s dignity will be seriously damaged. But if we don’t hand him over, then Whitebeard will definitely come. Headquarters is ready, right?”

“That’s right, Headquarters has decided to take advantage of this opportunity to attract Whitebeard and end the Yonkō (Four Emperors) of this new world, the strongest man in the world.”

Kizaru said to Kuro, “I know your temperament, but if you participate this time, your status will be very high after the war. In the end, status is very important. If you are a general, you will have great power, and I will protect you. You can do whatever you want.”

Kuro was tempted and said, “It seems so. No matter how capricious a lieutenant is, there is a limit. If he is a general, he can do whatever he wants.”

“That’s right, as long as you participate, I can promise you.” Kizaru patiently guided him.

“But, I refuse!”

Kuro suddenly turned hostile. “My favorite thing to do is to say no to arrogant people!”

Kizaru tilted his head and pouted. “Well… what strange words. Are you really not participating?”

“Mainly because I wasn’t prepared, old man.” Kuro took out his cigar and put it in his mouth.

“What preparations?” Kizaru asked.

“The preparation to defeat Whitebeard,” Kuro said honestly.

Kizaru smiled. “Well, Marine Headquarters will be prepared for this, you don’t have to worry about this.”

“I’m not talking about Headquarters. I’m saying that I’m not strong enough to defeat Whitebeard,” Kuro said honestly.

“?”

Kizaru tilted his head and his sunglasses moved down a little. “Defeat… Whitebeard?”

Kuro nodded and said, “Yes, without the strength to defeat Whitebeard, it is too dangerous to participate in this war. What if I am killed by Whitebeard on the battlefield?

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are not to be trifled with. What if I am besieged to death? I have to consider all of these, so I am not strong enough. It is better for me not to do such dangerous things.”

Without the strength to defeat Yonkō (Four Emperors), how can they fight the top war?

It’s not safe!

Kizaru was silent for a while and sighed inexplicably. “Young people nowadays are so scary. Do they have such high expectations of themselves? Forget it, if you don’t want to participate, then don’t participate. Your position is indeed not enough to be called up.”

He is Kizaru’s direct subordinate. Kizaru can force him to participate in this top-level war, but… why did he do that?

… .

After leaving Kizaru’s office, Kuro walked faster and faster until he found Leda and Crowe, who were resting.

“Lida, Crowe, we are going back to East Blue!”

I have to hurry back to East Blue!

Kizaru’s words made him vigilant. His position is not enough to be called up, but what if his position is enough?

According to the procedure, he had to come.

If he doesn’t go back and stop that idiot Cass from messing around, he doesn’t know which position he will be promoted to before the war.

He must not be promoted anymore!

With Kizaru’s power, his application for a Battleship is very fast and no one can stop him, but applying for such a small Battleship still requires staff.

Small Battleship, standard 80 people, full 100 people. As usual, the prudent Kuro is assigned according to the full 100 people. After they are equipped, they go straight to East Blue.

Headquarters’ ship has Seastone technology. He doesn’t need to run along the Grand Line again and then cross the inverted mountains or anything.

He only needs to pass through the Calm Belt to reach the East China Sea.

This speed was very fast.

“As long as I stop that idiot Kaz from continuing to cause trouble, I will be completely safe. At that time, I will learn from the old Fenbudi and drive the Battleship and drink a little wine. I will be safe and comfortable in East Blue.”

Kuro thought happily.

“Kuro, look, a meteor.”

Leda pointed to the skyline ahead and said excitedly.

“Meteor?”

Kuro looked over. On the skyline in front of him, an irregular shape slid down and disappeared.

“It’s really a meteor… Make a wish and let me live a safe life!”

Kuro put his hands together and solemnly made a wish to the shooting star.

… .

In the sky, there are several huge connected islands. On the largest one, a figure is floating in the air, watching an island fall heavily with a cold expression and a cruel smile.

“East Blue!”
