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...

Side Story: I'll write a wizard side story tomorrow.

"Five-colored thread!"

Victoria's five fingers gripped down directly, and Lyle merely turned slightly to the side. Five deep trenches appeared on the ground where he had been standing, and they quickly stretched forward.

"Thread Fruit..."

Lyle laughed and said, "The development is quite good. In the past, with this kind of strength, once you went to the Grand Line and gained some experience, you could easily earn 100 million. But unfortunately, our New World Government has very strict control over bounties and won't arbitrarily raise bounties like we did back then."

"Pine Breeze - Flash!"

A gust of wind came from the side, and then Seaa rushed out, her twin swords gleaming, and slashed straight at Lyle.

when!

But the incredibly fast twin blades were blocked by a pure white fox tail; the blades struck the fox tail as if they were cutting steel.

"A high-speed sword with flying slashes..."

Lyle smiled at her, and Seaa seemed to sense some kind of monstrous beast. She quickly sheathed her sword and retreated, but it was too late.

call!

The fox tail transformed into a whip-like shadow, swiftly sweeping towards Xiya, touching the two swords that had been retracting their defenses, and sending Xiya flying.

"Sea!"

Victoria clenched her fingers, and Thea's body froze in mid-air, but around her, several glowing threads snapped open and fell.

"His strength is decent, and he has a rudimentary Observation Haki. With more training, he could become a major threat," Lyle said calmly.

"Hmm..."

Seaja descended from the sky, gripping her twin swords tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Domineering..."

She could see that the tip of the fox tail was as black as ink.

Lyle turned to the crowd and shook his head: "They're just some newcomers who have just debuted. How about this..."

He stretched out his hand, his five fingers outstretched, and a gust of wind mixed with leaves that had appeared out of nowhere swirled in his hand.

"Fox Leaf Wedge."

Whoosh!

The leaves, accompanied by whirlwinds, cut swiftly towards the crowd ahead, the whistling sound they created indicating their sharpness.

Victoria spread her arms wide, "Spider web!"

The intersecting lines, dense like a spider web, seemed to be able to completely block the leaves. However, as the wind passed through the holes in the web, the leaves reappeared, quickly tearing Victoria's body apart, leaving many tiny wounds from which blood gushed.

Sia reacted quickly, slashing with her twin blades and creating a whirlwind. But the wind, carrying leaves, was all-pervasive, entangled with the wind swirling from the blades and enveloping Sia, leaving her with countless tiny cuts, just like Victoria.

"It's useless. My 'Fox Leaf Wedge' is usually no match for this. It's 'wind'!" Lyle said smugly.

"How is that possible? I've heard of this fruit before. Isn't it said that it only allows you to transform?" Victoria asked incredulously.

"Simple-minded, ignorant..."

Lyle scoffed, "Just a simple transformation? That's no different from the Imitation Fruit. I'm a Mythical Zoan, so I naturally have the power of a Mythical Zoan!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox knew quite a bit about this fruit. He knew that the previous owner of this fruit was Katrina Devon, but in his opinion, that woman had simply tainted the power of this fruit. Only he, Lyle, could develop its true power.

Mythical Beasts certainly possess basic natural elements like wind and fire.

Especially the wind, although it is not the source of the nine-tailed fox's powerful strength, Lyle must master it.

Because fluid power is something their faction must master.

From that one great one onwards, they have been the controllers of this school of thought. That great one wields the power of water, wind, fire, and lightning. His subordinate, the former Chief of Staff of the World Government, his superior's superior, can also wield variations of the power of wind and 'sound'. His own superior, Vice Admiral Sazel Kuro, can also unleash the power of wind and 'sound'. As direct subordinates of this faction, they can be ignorant of everything else, but mastering this power is the core requirement.

"Victoria! Seattle!"

Noah cried out, “Damn it! What have you done to my companions!”

"Let me catch you first!"

Lyle looked at Noah, gathering wind in his hand. "Although you look weak, in my eyes you are the most threatening!"

The wind, carrying leaves, lashed out again. The leaves, capable of easily cutting through stone, struck Noah, turning the bald man into a bloody mess in no time.

This is what Lyle thought...

What is this?

Noah casually picked up the leaf that was spinning around him, but before he could get a good look at it, the leaf vanished without a trace in his hand.

"Is it fake? A magic trick? A magic show? Can you teach me?" Noah asked, a little excited.

It didn't work?

Lyle was also taken aback, and raised his hands, gathering an even stronger wind.

"Fox Leaf Wedge!"

A fierce wind swept through Noah's body, but apart from tearing his clothes, the leaves formed by the wind couldn't even make a collision, as if they were just blowing on the bald man's skin like a gentle breeze.

This bald guy...

That bald guy!

"Hey, are you secretly calling me bald?"

Noah frowned, his tone unfriendly, "I'm telling you, I'm not bald, I just don't have hair, not bald, I've never lost any hair!"

"Foxfire Jade!"

Lyle's nine tails ignited with fireballs, which quickly turned green and rained down like fire in the air the instant they appeared, swiftly striking Noah.

This flame is an illusion, a mixture of truth and falsehood, and if it hits, it will also trap you in the illusion, making it difficult to defend against!

But after the flames rushed to Noah's body, they burned away his tattered shirt, and then... it was all for naught.
