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 718 Though the dragon was not slain, it has become an evil dragon.

The Golden Lion sailed through the water and docked at the port, which was covered with a red carpet.

At this point, a corner of the city of Guran Tezzolo can be seen.

Although it's touted as the largest entertainment complex, it feels more like a gambling city.

It gave Kuro the feeling of being in Las Vegas in his past life.

Although he had never been there at all.

The Golden Lion docked and lowered its steps. Kuro and Kakei led the way, guiding a group of marines down the stairs.

Wow!

Suddenly, a red-haired woman in a sexy long robe walked up to them. She tossed her wine-red wavy hair, took off her sunglasses, and said, "How amazing, I never expected to meet the famous Golden Lion and Vice Admiral Tea Pig here."

The woman bowed and said, "Nice to meet you. I am your VIP customer's personal attendant, Bakala."

"Hmm?" Lida turned her head and looked over, asking, "How do you know him?"

"Of course I know him."

Bakara chuckled and said, "High-ranking government officials, naval officers, and even notorious pirates are all on record here; they're all our VIP clients."

As she spoke, she looked at Lida and said, "You're Colonel 'Haodie,' right? You're also one of our VIPs."

"Huh?"

Lida's eyes widened. "You actually said I was a white butterfly instead of a beluga whale? You're a good person."

Bakara smiled without saying a word.

"Alright, if you're in charge of reception, then take us directly there. Gion, no, Momousagi has already arrived."

Kuro said, "Take us to Tesoro later; I need to speak with him."

"Does Lieutenant General Jin Ni need to see our boss? That's perfect, our boss is also very interested in you. We've heard that your Pegasus Island business is booming, but it's a pity you don't have the biggest casino. Perhaps our boss could cooperate with you."

Bakara smiled and slightly turned her body. Soon, a white luxury car slowly drove up. It was a convertible with several turtles propelling it on each side, while a sea turtle was directing it from the front.

Lida glanced sideways and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Muscle Turtle?"

"You know?" Kuro asked.

Lida nodded: "It tastes awful, the meat is so dry."

Kuro: "..."

"Yes, this is a Muscle Turtle. All the cars here are powered by Muscle Turtles."

Bakara smiled and said, "This is a Rolls-Royce tortoise, a high-class tortoise car powered by a muscular tortoise. Please get in, and I will take you on a tour of this golden city."

"This thing is quite interesting."

Kuro glanced at the car's structure and the position of the muscle turtle, and chuckled: "If it's just a simple hiring, it shouldn't be bad, right? There's no need to make it like this. What do you think, Kaji?"

"Ah... this kind of structure reminds me of bad things," Kaji said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

These words made Bakala freeze in place, her smile lingering.

Kuro could tell at a glance that this thing was activated by a key to generate an electric current that stimulated the muscle turtles, forcing them to work. Although they were just animals, it reminded Kuro of some unpleasant things.

The moving walkways in Mary Geoise are essentially no different from this.

"I have a suggestion for your boss: if you have that much money, try a different approach; it might be more effective. Playing the slave owner's game instead of the capitalist's is really annoying. Although capitalists aren't good either. There are a lot of streetlights around here; be careful, someone might hang one of them one day."

Kuro ignored the car and said, "Wilbur."

"Yes, sir!" Wilbur saluted and stood at attention.

"Since we're already here, let's take our men out and have some fun. I'll cover the extra cost."

"Understood, Mr. Kuro!"

Wilbur nodded and led the remaining navy to disperse.

“I want to go too!” Lida raised her hand and jumped up and down to Kuro.

“Clo”.

"Yes, Mr. Kuro."

"Keep a close eye on her and don't let her eat anything indiscriminately," Kuro said.

“Understood,” Chloe said, pushing up her glasses.

Seeing that most people had dispersed, leaving only Kuro and Kakei behind, Bakura, realizing what was happening, said, "Vice Admiral Kinni, Vice Admiral Chaton, it will be very slow if we don't take a car."

"No, you won't, stand firm."

Kuro extended his hand, his thumb and middle finger interlaced.

Snap!

Two decorative pieces from the building above fell down and flew towards them, directly catching Kakei and Bakara's feet and making them stand there.

"Oh~ this is..."

Jiaji said with considerable surprise, "That's very interesting."

"Let's go, hold on tight!"

Kuro floated away and flew straight forward, carrying the two ornaments and the people on them. He made a splash in the air and flew towards the circular area in front of the street.

That's an upscale area, which is a different concept from the commercial area.

The commercial area here isn't entirely made of gold; there are all sorts of buildings. But the upscale area is entirely made of gold.

Kuro flew directly from the advanced area to the very center before placing the two decorative items behind him.

"Wow, that's fast, Kuro."

Kaji jumped down from the decoration and chuckled, "You can even carry people? Brother Kizaru can't do that."

"This is really..."

Bakara stood there stunned for a moment before recovering from her astonishment. She bowed to Kuro and said, "As expected of General Golden Lion."

As she spoke, she took off her gloves and extended her hand to Kuro. "With such a powerful navy, we might have a pleasant collaboration with our boss. How about we shake hands first?"

Kuro gave her a deep look, a smirk playing on his lips. "The Fortune-Fortune Fruit, huh?"

These words made Bakala's eyes widen, and she subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't try that on me. I'm a Marine, not one of those pirates like Gran Tesoro who were tricked into becoming slaves."

Kuro placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and said with a smile, "If you're lying to me, that would be going against the Navy, or do you think we don't know the truth about Gran Tesoro?"

Jiaji smiled slightly and remained silent.

They are the Navy, the most powerful organization in the world; there's nothing they don't know.

Guran Tezzolo, the world's largest entertainment city, also has its dark side.

That Gild Tesoro is almost as degenerate as the Celestial Dragons.

However, the Navy doesn't know Gild Tesoro's true identity. After all, there were too many slaves who escaped back then, and even the Celestial Dragons themselves have forgotten which slaves they had.

But Gilder Tezzolo was one of them.

Kuro was aware of this.

That guy, who didn't slay the dragon but was influenced by it, eventually transformed from a kind-hearted man into someone like the dragon.
