Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 63


How Is That Possible?

The Battleship sailed to Division 153. As it sailed, Barker determined that these people were trash and his heart was at ease.

“There… there are sea beasts!”

...

The voyage of the sea cannot be smooth sailing, even in the East China Sea.

Storms and lightning might be avoided in the East China Sea, but the existence of sea beasts is unfortunate.

The sea beast that suddenly appeared had a tiger-like head. Its body was as big as two warships and it was extremely ferocious.

“Fire, fire!”

Under the command of the Military Counsel, Marines ran on the deck, holding guns and pushing cannons to attack the sea beasts.

The three that Barker had been paying attention to did not move at all.

Kuro pulled out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and blew out strong smoke.

Lida ate her snacks and looked at the sea beast with interest.

Crowe pushed up his glasses, his eyes expressionless.

But in Barker’s eyes, these three should be frightened.

There was actually no movement at all. He did not even have the courage to give orders. He was worse than a military officer. This Headquarters Second Lieutenant is too timid.

However, even if he was not weak, Barker did not care. He was just a Headquarters Second Lieutenant.

“Is that good?”

Leda took a bite of the cookie and looked curiously at the tiger-shaped sea beast that was hit by the cannon.

Sea beasts, it depends on how to distinguish them.

The weak fear the tiger, and the strong want to taste the tiger bone.

Kuro did not think about anything else and just wanted to return to the 153rd Branch as soon as possible.

What’s so good about sea beasts? When he was cultivating in the past, it wasn’t that he hadn’t slaughtered them before, but the taste was just so-so.

Maybe he doesn’t have a good cook around him…

Kuro touched his chin and looked at the curious Leda, then sighed.

People say that a long illness makes a good doctor. Why can’t you become a good chef after eating for a long time?

The sea beasts were repelled by the cannons, and the Battleship did not dare to stay here for long and accelerated.

By nightfall, the Battleship has entered the 153rd Sea and docked on a nearby island for refurbishment.

This island is not so much an island as it is a small continent. The place is very big and the mountains are distributed in different directions. It is endless.

Some of the ‘islands’ in this world amazed Kuro. For example, Alabasta can be called a continent, but it is still called an island because there are few connected lands here. No matter how big it is, it can only be an island.

“What a strange mountain.”

Leda looked over and said in surprise, “Kuro, these mountains have no peaks.”

The mountains here are a little strange. There are no peaks. All the mountains seem to have been cut down. After reaching the mountainside, there are neat and uneven cuts, high and low.

“Reporting, Second Lieutenant. The renovation is complete. Please rest here.”

The Marines entered the land and set up tents and bonfires in front of them. After they were done, the Military Police came to report.

“Okay, start a fire and cook.”

Kuro waved his hand and let the Marines rest. Then he said to Barker, “Kaz, let’s go and catch up.”

After catching Kaz, Kuro was not in a hurry at all. As long as he was in his sight, it would not be his turn to promote justice. If no one promoted it, wouldn’t this matter be covered up?

As for Kaz promising not to use his name again, in order to be safe, Kuro felt that it was better to watch him for a while.

After I persuade him a little more and confirm that Cass has really changed, it won’t be too late to release him.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry. His plan was to stay in East Blue for the time being.

Seeing Kuro and others walking towards the corner tent, Kaz was delighted. He was just thinking about how to deal with Kuro, but he didn’t expect God to give him a chance.

As a senior officer, it was naturally impossible for Kuro’s tent to be like those Marines, and its geographical location would not be like those Marines. Kuro’s tent was built on a high ground on a slope overlooking the Marines’ tent. Its terrain was more remote than that of Marines, and it was suitable for Barker to attack.

The few of them sat down and Kuro seized the opportunity to brainwash Barker, no, persuade him of justice.

“Kaz, I admire you for daring to publicize the means and actions of your justice, but this is your credit, not mine. Perhaps I have provided you with a little guideline, but your justice and mine are not the same. I am indeed not ‘Tenacious Justice’. You don’t have to follow this step all the time. You should go ahead and create your own true justice.”

Kuro earnestly said, “I saw what happened in East Blue. It was completely the result of you leading Marines to fight pirates. I am honored in Headquarters, but this is really your credit. You can’t let me be mocked by other Marines in Headquarters and say that I stole the victory credit.

“So Cass, next time you attack pirates, don’t bring my name. I, Kuro, don’t want to steal the credit of my former subordinates. I have my ways.”

These words made Marine, who came to deliver food, feel touched. Second Lieutenant Kuro actually took such good care of his subordinates and did not want such fame. He is really a good boss.

Although East Blue is very weak, East Blue’s Marine Hero is also a good reputation.

Barker nodded perfunctorily. “I understand, Second Lieutenant Kuro. I will never say you again.”

Kuro said with satisfaction: “It’s good that you understand, Kaz, I execute my justice in Headquarters, and you execute your justice in East Blue. I look forward to you spreading your fame from East Blue to Headquarters, and making the Marines in Headquarters agree with your justice!”

That’s right, just execute your justice in East Blue. Don’t come to the headquarters, and don’t apply to be my subordinate!

Kuro’s words were flawless and he had the appearance of an upright Marine who was not proud of himself, but for Barker, who had been in dangerous places all year round, he heard something different.

No matter how calm this Headquarters Second Lieutenant appeared, he could tell that he was a little afraid.

Is he afraid?

That’s true. If such a useless Marine becomes famous, they will be sniped by pirates and become their stepping stone to fame.

Barker understood at once.

Sometimes, only the careful can understand what the careful want.

In an instant, Barker felt a sense of empathy.

He was also living carefully. Even if he challenged Kaido, he was careful enough to prepare all his plans.

“It’s a pity that no matter what plan you have, it’s useless when you encounter those strong people. If I didn’t want to use your identity, maybe I would have told you something.”

Barker thought regretfully.

You may not know what it means to go from an ordinary pirate to have a bounty of more than 300 million berries. We generally call this kind of person ‘Big Pirate’.

Being careful is never wrong, as long as you find the right target.

He failed to find Kaido, but it was impossible to find a small Headquarters Second Lieutenant.

Unless this Second Lieutenant is a hidden big shot who is obviously strong but is extremely careful.

But… how is that possible!
