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 162 This is an opportunity

Kuro's injury this time is real, unlike when he faked it when fighting the Supernovas.

But despite the injury, I still have to go back.

If he doesn't fly, judging from the old man's posture, he's preparing to take me at the speed of light.

Kizaru cannot 'fly'.

He is more about 'floating' and then using the refraction of light in the air to move at the speed of light.

Although it is faster than Kuro, it also consumes more energy than Kuro.

However, for the old man, this level of severity is actually nothing.

There are many people who can 'fly' in the sky, and they have many ways to move in the sky, but none of them are flying.

Like Doflamingo's strings, which move by hanging from clouds.

Kaido transformed into a dragon and began to ride the clouds.

Charlotte Linlin also walked on clouds made of soul.

There are also beings that can grow wings and fly, perhaps through technology.

But the only one who can truly fly freely in the sky on his own is the 'Float-Float Fruit,' who is now the 'Floating Man' Kuro.

But at times like this, he would rather he couldn't fly.

Kuro flew forward dejectedly, while Kizaru watched from behind, seemingly to prevent Kuro from suddenly disappearing.

"I'm in the war, I'm in the war... I won't have a moment of peace, and none of you will have a moment of peace either!"

Kuro looked at the sky and gritted his teeth.

That idiot Crow is causing trouble at a time like this. How can a major and a lieutenant colonel be the same?

Strictly speaking, a major is still a soldier, but a lieutenant colonel is the elite of the soldiers!

He had just been thinking that if all else failed, he would stay on the fringes of the war and avoid the center.

The central area of ​​the war is the main battlefield, where the elite pirates and naval forces will definitely concentrate for the decisive battle. The others will fight in the corners and edges.

That's good, his position will definitely be in that central area.

Seriously, you son of a bitch...

You son of a bitch!!!

Why did you have to film this place?!

...

Inside a restaurant in the city square of Marineford.

After arresting the pirates, Sentomaru suggested celebrating and invited Lida and Kuro to dinner. They happened to run into Coby and the others, and remembering that Kuro had invited them before, he invited them as well.

How much does it cost to eat a meal?

For Sentomaru, it really wouldn't cost much money.

He quite liked the lively atmosphere.

However, the atmosphere is now somewhat tense.

Kuro was somewhat confused when Kuro hung up on him, but Kuro's last words sent a chill down his spine.

He looked at everyone and asked, "Has anything major happened in the newspapers lately?"

"Huh? You didn't know?"

Sentomaru downed a cup of sake in one gulp and said, "Such a big thing, didn't Brother Kuro tell you?"

These words made Chloe feel that something was amiss.

He quickly summoned a waiter, "Give me some recent newspapers, from the last few weeks."

The waiter brought over the latest newspaper, which Chloe took and began to read quickly.

The mysterious island-landing incident in the East China Sea has not occurred; locals believe it was a result of their prayers.

Outdated, PASS.

[A former security officer from a kingdom in the West Blue has appeared in a mysterious pirate crew, or may have joined the pirates.]

West Sea Security Officer? I don't know him, PASS.

[A new chapter begins in the battle between the naval hero 'Sora' and the evil 'Germa 66'!]

This is a comic book, which Kro also follows; he really likes the hero 'Sora'.

[Shocking! Why are you so shocked? Let our reporter take you to see why!]

What utter nonsense!

As Chloe flipped through the newspaper, she finally came across a shocking piece of news in the last issue.

[The second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, 'Fire Fist' Ace, was arrested by the Marines and publicly executed a week later.]

“Whitebeard…” Kro murmured.

Lida also saw the newspaper and exclaimed, "Hey, no way! Whitebeard's men have been captured? Whitebeard can get angry. What are the Marines up to? Are they going to take action against Whitebeard?"

Moreover, I had met Ace in Alabasta.

Didn't expect to be caught...?

Kro adjusted his glasses. "I'm afraid it's because we captured 'Fire Fist' Ace. Whether we did it willingly or unwillingly, we'll have to take action because of this person."

Who is this white-bearded man?

Even the youngest child on the high seas knows that the most common way adults scare children is by saying, "If you don't behave, Whitebeard will come and get you."

The most terrifying pirates on the high seas!

As a former pirate and now a Marine, Kuro, who has spent so much time at the Marine Headquarters, understands Whitebeard's strength even better.

Never mess with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Those who provoke them will incur Whitebeard's most terrifying retribution.

Now that the Navy Headquarters has arrested the captain of the Second Division, and considering the recent unusual gatherings of personnel at Headquarters...

"I see, I see!"

Unlike Kuro, who was filled with fear, Kuro was actually quite excited. "I understand what Mr. Kuro means. War! We will have a chance in this war!"

Catching pirates in Sabaody Archipelago is too low-level. After receiving this news, Mr. Kuro probably set his sights on this war.

Although this is a huge event, it doesn't really concern them much, and they can't determine the outcome.
