I Just Wanted to Retire, But Was Forced to Become a General

The Great Pirate Era.

The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—

Demotivating!

I, Russil Kuro, age tw...

Chapter 1179 Since his debut, he has never been defeated.

"What's going on?!"

Charlotte Linlin felt that her body was out of control. No matter how hard she tried to regain control of her body, she could not get rid of the buoyancy. Or rather, not only buoyancy, she could hardly turn left or right. It was as if the air itself had fallen into a state of disorder, with each clump of air playing its own game.

“Agnimi!” Charlotte Linlin cried out, “Come and catch me!”

"Mommy, Mommy!"

The Homies of Wind were howling above Charlotte Linlin's head, their voices growing fainter and fainter. As wind, even if it had a soul, it was still wind. And in this chaotic space, these things would drift and play their own games, just like the air, floating around everywhere.

The ground shattered into countless pieces that floated in the air, then spun around with the air, gradually breaking into even smaller pieces.

One by one, the people around them, like Charlotte Linlin, floated up in a disorderly manner. It didn't really matter whether they floated or not, since the ground they were on was gone, so there was no difference between floating and not floating.

"What's going on? Damn it, I can't move my body!" Kidd tried to control his body, but even the mechanical part on his severed arm seemed to be loosening. It was already good enough if he could stabilize himself and maintain his own abilities.

"Mommy! Mommy!!"

Perospero screamed in terror, trying to surround himself with the syrup, but as soon as he finished making the syrup, it scattered and flew around in a chaotic manner.

"The Awakening of Power!"

With his body in disarray, Law struggled to look down at Kuro and exclaimed in horror, "You've awakened, Kuro!"

Kuro chuckled: "If people like you can awaken, why do you think I can't?"

The awakening of Devil Fruit power wasn't something I'd say happened a long time ago, but there were already signs of it during the last battle with Kaido and his crew.

But that's 'Empty Kill,' which is the full-power form. However, full-power doesn't mean the fruit will use its awakened power; those are two different applications.

This power was awakened by Kuro later, but he did not become complacent after awakening it.

It's just an awakening. Those Jailer Beasts in Impel Down also awakened, they just failed.

However, the grades of the fruit are different.

It inherently has a hierarchy, so how could there be such a thing as 'there are no useless fruits, only useless users'? The Float-Float Fruit, as the top fruit recognized on the sea, after the glory brought by Shiki the Golden Lion, shone even brighter in Clow Reed's hands, reaching an even higher level.

The concept of the Float-Float Fruit is 'weightlessness', so after awakening, this concept can naturally be applied to the surroundings and affect the environment.

So after awakening, this power can naturally be put to use.

Kuro completely transformed the environment in this area into zero gravity!

It's not that simple. Zero gravity is just an environment, but Kuro is a Devil Fruit user, so he can actively control it. Therefore, a zero-gravity environment can be 'decomposed' in his hands, separating easily decomposed things directly into fragments that rise to the surface. Fragile things like soil and seawater would naturally be broken down.

If it weren't for his subordinates and the civilians of Wano Country, he could have even raised the entire country up, creating a zero-gravity situation!

Moreover, this is not simply zero gravity, but rather a situation where space becomes 'disordered'. If you want to exert force by manipulating your body, you need a point of leverage. However, if the point of leverage is bound by the disordered air, then it becomes very difficult to exert force.

Humans cannot fight against nature, and ironically, this very ability represents a kind of nature itself.

Simulate the nature of space!

Kuro didn't know if people from the sea could actually travel directly to space. After all, in his memory, a certain kid with lightning could do that. If his memory wasn't wrong, he seemed to have gone to the moon alone without wearing a spacesuit. Or perhaps people from the sea could survive in space.

But Kuro is merely simulating, creating his own understanding of 'space'.

Want to move?

Let's also grasp the rhythm of this chaotic, drifting space first.

The Float-Float Fruit is more about strategy than combat power. Kuro's awakening is not about strengthening himself, but this terrain is much more useful than strengthening himself.

He was now facing a situation even better than that of the red-haired man who dared to sail alone on the high seas and fart at his own expense.

While it's true that one cannot directly control living human bodies, these people are indeed unable to move easily in this chaotic space.

If we could directly control the human body, things wouldn't be so complicated...

This awakening was his doing. As an ability user, he could move within this space, and he himself was a highly lethal swordsman.

Violent damage output combined with absolute control...

You think you can mess with me?

Kuro chuckled, took a step forward, and floated into this chaotic space. He gripped the Luo Gui tightly, and the black-backed, blood-bladed Luo Gui gleamed with a sharp edge as it swayed in the air.

"This kind of thing..."

Luo Feili stretched out his hand, and an extremely exaggerated domain enveloped the Flower Capital. Just as he was about to activate his ability, he suddenly felt his body sway, and he flew much faster than before, rising directly into the sky.

"Room!" Law activated his ability, causing the Straw Hat crew, Kid, and Yamato to disappear from their original spot, and then... reappeared high in the sky on the other side, continuing to spin around randomly.

"idiot..."

Kuro looked up and laughed, "Do you think your domain is bigger than mine? On the ground, I might have some concerns, but in the air, don't even think about coming down."

Kuro naturally took Law's abilities into account, so the instant he activated his power, before Law could react, he made the disordered space rise directly into the sky. Since the awakened domain was in the air, there was no need to worry about the people of Wano Country.

Luo's territory was naturally not as large as his.

Can he teleport throughout the entire Wano Country?

It's clearly impossible.

However, Kuro can cover the entire Wano Country region, or even more!

"Wei Kingdom!!"

Charlotte Linlin let out a loud roar in the air, actually gripping Napoleon tightly, and unleashed a shockwave that managed to cut a gap in the chaotic air, but it was quickly filled back into the disordered space.

"The Fourth Emperor is indeed the Fourth Emperor; his reaction time is quick, but adapting to this kind of environment is very difficult." Kuro shook his head and smiled.

It's chaotic, without any rules or order, and there's no flaw or anchor point. Its biggest flaw is itself. Whoever defeats it will naturally lose the power of awakening.

But... how could that be?

He has never lost a match since his debut!
