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 174 You finally couldn't hold back anymore?

Seeing Hancock's expression, Doflamingo chuckled softly.

"Fufufufu, how terrifying, Lucilfer Kuro."

Given his nature, he had already begun investigating when he suffered a loss in Mary Geoise last time.

Lucilfer Kuro, originally from the East Blue, served as a Marine in the East Blue for ten years. However, after joining the Headquarters, he became Kizaru's direct subordinate and rose through the ranks at a rapid pace.

In addition, Doflamingo received a secret piece of information that he initially thought was impossible, but considering the timing of his visits to the East Blue, and the levitation sword he displayed in Mary Geoise...

A naval officer actually did that!

This is also why Doflamingo suffered a loss but did not retaliate.

"Lucil Kuro?"

Mihawk paused for a moment, but wasn't too surprised. Kuro and Kro sound similar, and it's hard to tell them apart if you don't listen carefully.

"oh?"

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Kuro paused and looked at him. "Did you investigate me?"

"Fufufufu..."

Doflamingo chuckled softly at Clow Reed, saying, "You think you're hiding your true colors? I know that woman beside you, Florida. She's a notorious devil on the Grand Line, having devoured countless islands. And that hair color... fufufu..."

Mihawk exclaimed in surprise, "Florida? That gluttonous demon? I never expected her to be such a little girl."

The others also looked surprised, including Hancock, who was also somewhat astonished.

"Are you famous?" Kuro asked Lida.

"I don't know..." Lida looked thoughtful. "Am I that famous?"

"Stop pretending, Kuro!"

Doflamingo said, "And your subordinate, that Kuro... he used to be a pirate, right? A pirate known for his cunning. Plus that Marine you trained in the East Blue, they're fighting tooth and nail for your reputation. Prestige, wisdom, power, you've got everything ready, and now you can't hold back anymore?"

"Lucil Kuro, what exactly are you trying to do, fufufu... How interesting this world is!"

Doflamingo burst out laughing.

"A man like you...?"

Hancock looked at Doflamingo and Kuro with disgust and said, "They're really filthy."

Mihawk stared at Kuro without saying a word.

Moria clawed wildly, grinning maliciously, "Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, yet another terrifying man. Let chaos ensues, let things get out of hand!"

Lida thought for a moment, then slammed her fist into her palm, suddenly realizing, "Now that he's said that, it seems like you have some big conspiracy. Hey, Kuro, you haven't been lying to me all along, have you?"

"Stop fooling around."

Kuro tapped Lida, a smirk playing on his lips. Looking at Doflamingo, who was in a frenzied state, he was momentarily speechless.

What he said makes perfect sense.

There was no way to refute it for a moment.

"Fufufufu, you won't admit it? No problem, I welcome you to visit my kingdom. Whatever you want, I can provide it."

Doflamingo laughed, then suddenly pointed in Whitebeard's direction, "Speaking of which, aren't you going to keep an eye on your subordinates? If you charge any further, you'll all be wiped out."

Kuro looked in the direction he was pointing, muttering, "What the hell? My subordinate, Kuro? He should have been out of there a long time ago, out of there, out of there..."

Unable to continue speaking, Kuro stared blankly at the ice surface near Whitebeard. Among the many Marines gradually retreating on the ice, there was a group of Marines who not only did not retreat, but instead fought with increasing ferocity.

They were facing a dozen or so famous captains, who were assembled in formation and advancing step by step, fighting against the captains. The navy was clearly just a bunch of grunts, but the world-renowned captains were retreating step by step, each of them carrying wounds!

Among the navy, Kuro maneuvered and shifted his position, resisting the captains who wanted to launch a sneak attack, while the main navy force advanced layer by layer, actually forcing the captains to retreat.

Kuro recognized the person leading the navy.

That guy had a big beard!

"Cass?!" Kuro's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Huh?" Lida's mouth dropped open. "Is that Cass? What's he doing here?"

This guy should be playing his justice game in the East Blue, why did he come to the Grand Line and even appear on the battlefield of Marineford, and fight very bravely!

They've almost cornered those captains under Whitebeard's feet.

Below Whitebeard, Cassius and his crew gradually approached, and along the way, several captains had already fallen.

"What's going on? They're clearly just a bunch of ragtag soldiers!"

The Dirkkaban brothers retreated while fending off the navy's attack, their hearts filled with anxiety.

They simply couldn't understand how a group of ragtag soldiers, despite their high morale, could unleash such formidable fighting power.

"Swift Shave - Tiger Claw!"

Kuro swung to the side, breaking away from the main naval force, and charged forward with ten cold glints in his eyes.

laugh!

A captain had ten deep wounds slashed across his chest, but Crowe's momentum didn't wane as he charged straight at the Dirk Caban brothers.

when!

His attack was blocked by the Dirkban brothers, one on each side.

At that moment, Rumba seized an opening and slashed down with his sword.

However, before his sword could strike, he was startled and instantly changed direction, sweeping away the dozen or so marines who were charging towards him.

"Protect Mr. Clooney!"

The navy shouted loudly, and several swords struck Rumba's sword with extraordinary force.
