Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 622


East Blue’s Pride

Fortunately, the annihilation of the four pirates was near the Calm Belt. After destroying them, the Golden Lion sailed for a day and finally reached the Calm Belt.

With the help of the Seastone technology embedded in the bottom of the ship, Kuro was quiet in the Calm Belt for a while and could no longer hear the cannon.

...

This technology had no effect on his ability.

There are not many Seastone embedded in the bottom of the ship, and the medium of Kuro’s ability is only the ship itself. Seastone is connected, so it will not affect him.

After crossing the Calm Belt, the Golden Lion finally appeared in the East China Sea.

“Oh! East Blue!”

On the deck, Leda stood on the railing of the ship, holding herself with both hands and looking out.

Beside her, Kuro also took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

They had finally returned to East Blue.

Blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze.

There are no powerful pirates or strange ability users, Devil Fruit is no different from a legend here.

The smell of peace and stability lingered in Kuro’s nose.

This was his dream of a place of stability.

Upon reaching this place, Kuro relaxed.

“Hey, Kuro, I want to go to Barati. I haven’t been there for a long time.” Leda turned to Kuro.

“Cut it out.”

Kuro rolled his eyes. “Do you think I don’t know you? As long as there’s a fake, you run to East Blue and that idiot Crowe calls himself East Blue Black and White. He’s in the night and you’re in the day. It’s rare for me to come back once a year.”

As he spoke, he paused and rubbed Lida’s head and said, “After I pay my respects to my ancestors, I will take you there. I haven’t eaten there for a long time.”

“Don’t touch my hair.” Leda shook off Kuro’s hand and tidied her white hair and muttered.

“East Blue…”

On the other side, Kaz felt the wind from the sea and smiled. “I haven’t been back for a long time.”

“I didn’t expect Mr. Kuro and you to come from East Blue. It’s really surprising,” Wilbur said.

Although he knew about it a long time ago, he still found it unbelievable when he returned to East Blue.

East Blue!

The weakest sea can actually produce a righteous man like Mr. Kuro and Kaz.

Or is East Blue itself a place of justice?

Crowe, who came from East Blue, is now quite righteous.

“East Blue?”

Donald touched his chin and thought, “Maybe it’s a magical place…”

Basil clenched his fists. “Sure enough, the strong people of the world have nothing to do with where they are born.”

“East Blue?”

Ioan looked at Kuro without any surprise.

After all, Marine Hero Garp also came from East Blue.

And that Pirate King is also…

East Blue is not weak at all.

… .

Shields Town, Branch 153.

Ever since Monca was arrested, the people here no longer suffered from high-pressure rule. Coupled with the peace in the East Blue, they lived a very stable life for two years.

This day was the same, but it was a little different.

In a small restaurant near the port.

A little girl eagerly asked the woman who was almost the same as her, “Is Brother Kuro not back yet?”

The large version of the woman was the owner of this restaurant, Liliang, who was seriously suspected by Kuro to be one of the people with the ability of the ‘Fruit of Youth’.

Her daughter was the smaller version of Rika.

“Soon… …”

Lily wiped the plate and looked out of the window. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this time of year, Kuro will come back.”

“Hurry up, I miss Brother Kuro.”

Tap tap tap …

Just as Rika said this, a group of Marines passed by her restaurant.

Rika was stunned when she saw this scene. She jumped off the chair and ran out of the door. “Uncle Lippa, is Brother Kuro back?!”

“Rika ah…”

Among the Marines, the leader was Lippa.

He revealed a gentle smile and said in a very gentle tone, “Yes, Vice-Admiral Kuro has already sent a notice. We are about to go and welcome him.”

With that, he continued walking.

“Colonel, be careful, there are ants under your feet.”

Suddenly, a Marine behind him reminded him.

Li Pa stopped and looked at his feet and saw an ant slowly passing by.

“Ah… Thank you for the reminder, I almost stepped on an ant.”

Li Pa revealed a look of lingering fear and waited for the ants to pass before continuing forward.

This scene made many of these Marines look uncomfortable.

But a small number of Marines were used to it, as if it should be so.

Rika opened her mouth and shook her head helplessly. She followed them to the port and waited for Kuro to arrive.

Soon, on the sea, a huge golden ship began to approach.

“Wow, gold!”

Rika opened her mouth in surprise and looked at the Marine flag above the approaching ship. “Warship? Has Brother Kuro arrived?”

At this moment, other than him, the remaining residents also gathered together and looked at the golden ship happily.

That’s Kuro!

The child they had seen growing up had actually become a big shot in the Navy and a Vice-Admiral!

They were honored.

The Golden Lion gradually sailed over and docked in the port. As the ladder was lowered on the side of the ship, Kuro led the way down and stood on the port with a group of Marines.

“Oh!! Kuro!!”

“The pride of Shields Town!”

“Idiot, call him Lieutenant General! He is also the pride of East Blue!!”

The residents began to shout.

This shout made Kuro slightly stunned.

“They’re all here…”

Kuro scratched his head. “Seriously, I just sent a telegram to inform you. There’s no need for so many people to pick me up.”

“Vice Admiral Kuro.”

Lippa took the lead and saluted Kuro, followed by a group of Marines.

“Long time no see, Lippa.” Kuro nodded at him.

“Long time no see.”

Li Pa smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be a Vice-Admiral. Letting you go to Headquarters was indeed the right choice.”

I was right, my ass!

Kuro rolled his eyes.

You must be one of the sources of all evil!

“Kaz, you too, you are now a Headquarters Colonel.” Lippa continued to smile.

“It’s all because of Mr. Kuro!” Kaz shouted.

Headquarters Colonel and Branch Colonel are two completely different ranks.

But if it can be changed…

Actually, Kuro wanted to trade with Lippa.

“Brother Kuro!”

At this moment, Rika came out of the crowd and stood in front of Kuro. She said excitedly, “Long time no see, Brother Kuro. I miss you so much!”

“Oh… Rika.”

Kuro raised his eyebrows and looked at her attire. He was surprised. “You joined the Marine?”

Rika had grown a little taller than last year and was wearing an apron with a Marine logo.

“Yes, I’ve become a Marine cadet service student.” Rika’s eyes were shining with admiration. “In the future, I will also go to Headquarters to serve Brother Kuro.”

“Okay, good luck.”

Kuro smiled and rubbed Rika’s head and said to Lippa, “I’m going to pay respects to the ancestors first, we can catch up later.”

“Understood, I will arrange for others to rest.”

Lippa nodded and prepared to guide the remaining Marines to rest.

Rika stuck her tongue out at Lippa. “I don’t want you to come. If you come, they won’t even be able to eat meat.”
