Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Kuro pointed to one end of the newspaper and smiled at Leda. “Look, it’s still useful. Kaz broke pirates and declared himself ‘Tenacious Justice’. He never mentioned me again.”

The newspaper showed a picture of Kaz catching a group of pirates.

Kuro was satisfied with this. Since he didn’t have his name, he could do whatever he wanted.

“When will we reach Barati?”

Leda was not interested in the hot-blooded bearded man. She just looked at the endless sea and muttered.

“Soon, but there’s no need to rush. We have a lot of time in East Blue, and now I have the most freedom.”

Kuro lit a cigar and laid down on the recliner.

Life is back on track. There is no risk of promotion and no pressure of being summoned by Headquarters.

Comfortable ~

Beside him, Crowe also smiled. This kind of life was indeed quite good.

… .

While Kuro was enjoying life, a bird soared in the sky on the Grand Line.

That was Buck.

He flew over the Reverse Mountain and after a few more breaks, he transformed into different forms of birds and looked for a target to attack.

That Luciru Kuro, he had to take revenge on him before he could rest and go out to sea.

After arriving at the Grand Line, he was looking for a target to take revenge on.

Ordinary town?

Not enough influence.

Marine Headquarters?

He was not strong enough.

He wanted to find a place with a lot of influence and not very strong to pretend to be Kuro and burn it there.

“Yes?”

Barker swept low and bypassed a rain cloud that was obviously going to have a storm. When he saw the sea again, he saw a target he liked.

It was an island. The buildings on the island were interesting and full of futuristic technology style. It seemed to be a big technology island.

“This is the place!”

Technology Island, its influence is definitely not low. If it is destroyed here, it will definitely cause trouble for that Marine.

He swooped down to the island and circled high above it.

There are Marines nearby.

Great!

With Marines, it means that the security is tight and the influence is definitely not low.

Barker landed on the island and turned into soft mud. He changed again and became Kuro.

He stared at the building complex in front of him and laughed sinisterly. “Let’s make a scene.”

“Weng!!!”

However, the moment he stepped forward, the island suddenly glowed red and let out an ear-piercing sound.

“Intruder!”

“Where is he, quickly catch him!”

The Marines moved one after another and quickly deployed in all directions.

This number is a little too much…

Barker had a bad feeling.

The number of Marines on this island is somewhat beyond his expectations, but it doesn’t look like a Marine base.

But on second thought, if there are a lot of them, then Kuro will definitely be in big trouble.

He, Barker, loved to do such things.

Otherwise, is his title of ‘Evil Pretender’ for nothing?

Looking at the Marines searching frantically, Barker moved his limbs and walked over, ready to kill.

“Hey, you.”

At this moment, a voice sounded behind him and a huge shadow wrapped around him.

Barker turned his head and saw a huge man. The man had a scar on his face and he was only wearing a red dudou with three magatama and a symbol of heaven on the dudou. He was carrying a huge double-sided axe and he was nearly three meters tall as he looked down at the incarnation of Barker.

“I haven’t seen you before. Who are you?”

“Me? Ask someone’s name and say your name first. Who are you?”

Barker answered calmly.

The man in the bellyband curled his lips. “No matter how you ask, it’s useless. I won’t tell you anything, stranger. I’m the most defensive man in the world, and I’m very tight-lipped.”

“It’s just a name. I’m also a Marine,” Barker asked.

“I already said that it’s useless, stranger. I am the most tight-lipped man in the world, Battling Momomaru!”

“… Didn’t I say it?”

“Uh…”

Sentomaru was stunned and quickly said, “That was what I wanted to say just now and didn’t answer your question. Who are you? There is no impression of you on this island, Marine.”

“I am Luciru Kuro, Second Lieutenant of Marine Headquarters. I am here on a mission.”

Barker gradually approached this fat fool and prepared to kill him with one blow.

“Luciru Kuro?”

Sentomaru thought for a moment. “Oh, I know you. The old man thinks very highly of you and accepted you as his direct subordinate. Are you here to find the old man? He happens to be on the island. But you are a little weak. Why would the old man like you?”

As he spoke, Barker had already arrived in front of Sentomaru. He formed a knife with one hand and raised it, preparing to stab him.

“Who knows, that old man, I will let him reunite with you later!”

Just as he was about to stab it, a frivolous voice sounded beside him.

“Oh? How strange. Why are you here, Kuro, aren’t you on vacation in East Blue?”

Light gathered around him.

A tall figure appeared on his side. The man had his hands in his pockets and his sunglasses were slightly lowered as he stared at Barker with a strange look.

When he saw who it was, Barker froze and cold sweat flowed down his face.

“Ki-Kizaru?!”

Admiral of Marine Headquarters, the highest combat power of the World Government, Kizaru!

Why is he here?!

Kizaru knows this Kuro?

Kuro is Kizaru’s direct subordinate?!

“What a joke!”

Barker’s face was ashen.

If the Admiral is here, it means that this place is extremely dangerous!

“This is not a place where ordinary Marines can come. How did you find this place, Kuro?” Kizaru asked curiously.

Calm down! I have to calm down!

Kizaru did not realize that I still have a chance!

Barker wiped the sweat on his face and forced a smile. “Kizaru, it’s like this, I…”

Swish!

BOOM!!!

A beam of light pierced his chest and the explosion caused Barker to fly out like a rag. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The skin on his body began to soften and he returned to his original appearance.

“Well, it’s a stranger.”

Kizaru walked out of the dust and said in surprise, “It’s so scary. It can actually turn into Kuro.”

“Surround him!”

Sentomaru roared.

The Marines heard the noise and quickly ran over and surrounded Barker, raising their guns and aiming.

“Who is he.”

Sentomaru walked over and glanced at Barker.

A Marine recognized him and reported, “It’s the ‘Evil Disguiser’ Buck Arlo, a pirate with a bounty of 370 million berries. He has the ability of ‘Disguise Fruit’, and he can disguise himself as others. I heard that he lost in the battle with Kaido of Yonkō (Four Emperors), and his whereabouts are unknown. There is intelligence saying that he is in the East China Sea. It seems that the intelligence is wrong.”

“East Blue?”

Kizaru tilted his head. “So that’s how it is. Did you encounter Kuro? It’s so scary, you can actually escape from his blade.”

He stretched out his finger and light gathered on his finger. “Well, logically speaking, I should have caught you, but you came to a place you shouldn’t have, so can I trouble you to die?”

“I surrender!”

Barker knelt and shouted, “I came here by mistake. I don’t know where it is. I was defeated by Luciru Kuro. He asked me to surrender to Marine Headquarters!”

I have to surrender, I will die!

Since Lucilu Kuro is Kizaru’s direct subordinate, using him as an excuse, I will definitely survive.

He had gambled correctly.

The beam gradually shrank.

Kizaru asked suspiciously, “Oh? Kuro asked you to surrender? That’s strange, will he do that?”

Barker nodded repeatedly. “It’s true! Admiral Kizaru, would a pirate like me surrender voluntarily? I was beaten by that man.”

“Well, forget it. Take him for interrogation and send him to Impel Down.”

Kizaru retracted his hand and watched Barker being escorted away by Marines. He looked at the sky with a smile and said, “It’s so scary. It’s a credit for coming to my door.”
