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 55, Fifth Lieutenant General

That look... was irresistible.

If Bruno were weaker, he might only find Kuro's gaze terrifying. However, Bruno is a 'superman' who has mastered the Six Powers, making him a strong individual. He is more sensitive to the aura of stronger individuals.

This man is very strong, even stronger than Lucci gave him the feeling!

If he wanted to kill him, he would have no power to resist.

"what you up to?"

Bruno's throat moved, and he swallowed with difficulty before speaking.

"Listen to yourself."

Kuro's ears twitched, and he turned his body to the side, allowing Bruno to see the radio Den Den Mushi in the square.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the central radio Den Den Mushi rang, and sure enough, that idiot Spandam had pressed the Buster Call.

"A Demon-Slaying... Order?"

Bruno's pupils constricted, and he roared, "How is this possible? That idiot commander!"

The Buster Call, a national-level combat force of the World Government, will launch an indiscriminate attack on an island marked on a map, wiping out all inhabitants, humans and animals.

However, in practice, things are actually different.

It depends on who they encounter.

A moderate general would allow innocent people to take refuge and only destroy the island.

Radical generals are ruthless and merciless.

Kuro had forgotten which generals had come, only remembering that there were moderates and radicals. He couldn't be sure which one would destroy the island. If it was the moderates, he wouldn't need Bruno; they would have their own people on board.

But if it's not, then that would be troublesome.

Kuro said, "Bruno, this is why I came to you. Your air portal can effectively provide refuge to people and send them to Buster Call warships. After you finish this, what you do is your business."

Bruno was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand..."

He was currently in an empty cluster of buildings. Kuro had specifically brought him here to avoid being seen and to save trouble.

Bruno walked out of the buildings and had just reached the square when a government official saw him and rushed over, trembling, asking:

"Lord Bruno, is it really the Buster Call?"

Bruno nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go and gather the civilians. I will wait for you at the port and offer you refuge."

"Yes, understood. We'll go and gather the civilians right away!"

The government official saluted and then called people to various buildings, calling on civilians one by one to go to the port together. As for the captured boatmen and others, no one cared anymore.

The most important thing now is to escape.

Half an hour later, the port was packed with people.

"Is everyone here?"

Bruno looked at the dense crowd and asked in return.

"Yes, sir. All the civilians on Enies Lobby have been gathered and are here!"

A naval officer reported.

Hearing this, Bruno looked at Kuro and said, "I've done everything I could."

"Um..."

Kuro looked towards the Gates of Justice through the port. Enies Lobby was the gateway to the first Gate of Justice, and this Buster Call would likely be drawn from headquarters nearby.

Sure enough, in the distance, he could see the outlines of several huge warships.

It has a vice admiral's flagship!

A red dot suddenly appeared in Kuro's eyes as he activated his Observation Haki and peered directly at the warships.

"Ah...it's them, Flying Squirrel, Fire Mountain, Storobelli, Doberman, and Ghost Spider."

Kuro closed his eyes and murmured, "All five veteran lieutenant generals are here. It seems they really came from headquarters."

The difference in strength between vice admirals is too great, but these five, plus Dalmesia, are the elite of the vice admirals.

Leaving aside Garp and the two admiral candidates, these six vice admirals are the most experienced and strongest among the Navy vice admirals.

"Open the door and go to that ship."

Kuro pointed to the ship in Storobelli and said.

"clear."

Bruno opened the air door and plunged inside. Under Kuro's Observation Haki, Bruno appeared on the Strawberry ship.

Who is it?

The sailors on the ship heard the door open and saw a figure appear in thin air. They immediately raised their guns and asked a question.

“I am Bruno from CP9. I have heard about the Buster Call. The people on the island are innocent. Please allow them to take refuge,” Bruno said, looking at Strawberry.

Storoberry paused for a moment, then nodded: "Let them come up."

Without needing Bruno to return and report, Kuro addressed the group: "Civilians, enter through the air door first; Navy and government personnel, bring up the rear."

A group of people entered through the air portal and arrived at the Stolberg warship.

This giant warship is the largest warship in the navy, with a standing navy of 800 to 1,000 people. With such a huge capacity, it would not be a problem to carry civilians from Enies Lobby.

Besides, it's not like one ship can carry that much.

Apart from the warships carrying Oni-Zoo and Doberman, all other warships could accommodate these people.

As for Onigumo and Doberman, the two radicals, they probably won't accept it, and Kuro doesn't expect them to either.

In fact, Bruno didn't need to go to any other warships. Three warships sailed over, but instead of immediately launching the Buster Call, they docked at the port and lowered ladders for everyone.

Brulo emerged from the air portal and gave Kuro a deep look: "My mission is complete... I'm leaving now."

He closed the air door and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Kuro didn't bother with him. This idiot was so stupid, he'd get sick from being around him any longer.

"Let's go, get on the boat."
