Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Stop Joking, Pirate!

The ship was still sailing, and in the past few days, Crowe had been observing the patrol ship.

He knew that this was the Marine of the 153rd Division, and he also knew about the ill fate with Monka.

However, this made him even more puzzled. After collecting intelligence for the past few days, he understood that Kuro was a Warrant Officer and there was nothing outstanding about him. Although he was admired by the Marine of Battleships, the image of Kuro that they showed was that of a conscientious Marine.

And what Kuro showed was just an ordinary Marine, or even a somewhat lazy Marine.

He did not do his usual training and did not go out to patrol. Everything was handed over to his deputy on the ship, Captain Kaz.

He spent all his time with the little girl in the cabin. One smoked and drank, and the other ate snacks.

If it weren’t for Crowe’s deep memory of the knife, he might have been blinded by the illusion shown by Kuro.

If even he can be deceived, then this man has been lying dormant in East Blue for more than ten years. There must be a big conspiracy.

This man is too terrifying!

Crowe looked at the sky from the deck. Although there were no clouds in the sky, he felt that dark clouds would soon cover the sky, as if there was a big hand that was about to cover the entire East Blue.

“Oh! Balati, Balati!”

Leda’s cheers came from the cabin. She ran over and jumped with her hands in the air.

Ahead, there was the faint outline of a ship.

East Blue’s most famous restaurant, Maritime Restaurant, Barati.

“Is Mr. Crowe also interested in Barati?”

Kaz couldn’t help but ask when he saw Crow staring ahead.

Marine wanted Crowe’s ‘real name’ these days, but Crowe used the reason of ‘since he is called Crowe, he will live with this name and remember this shame’.

Hearing this, Crowe was a little dazed.

He had heard of this restaurant, but as a pirate, he had never been there. He did not expect that he would go there to eat one day.

A peaceful life… That’s something.

That Kuro did not lie.

Just as he thought this, a powerful light rose from the sea level. It was a half-moon-shaped light that rushed straight towards him.

“Then… what?”

Crowe was stunned. He had never seen such a thing, but he had no doubt that if he was hit, he would be crushed.

“Flying Slash?! Sword Hero?! Kuro, come out!”

The white-haired girl exclaimed.

“It’s too late!”

Seeing that the slash was getting faster and faster, Lida gritted her teeth and jumped on the bow. Her body grew and she turned into a girl. She crossed her hands to block and Armament Haki covered her forearms.

“Greatest Essence Wheel: Impact!”

She put her hands together and pushed forward.

Bang!!!

The air seemed to distort as Leda pushed the slash forward with both hands. The hull in front of her could not withstand the pressure and split open. A huge impact swayed towards the deck, blowing Marine to the side.

Crowe was knocked back by the impact and he felt pain all over his body as if he was stabbed by a knife.

“What is this? Is there such a thing in East Blue?” Crowe was inexplicably shocked.

And that girl, why did she become like this? What is that black on her hand? I feel that if she hits me, one punch is enough.

“Go… over there!”

Lida roared and pushed hard with her hand, pushing the approaching slash.

The slash changed direction and rushed into the sky.

“Ha… Ha… What a joke, how can there be such a strong slash!”

Leda instantly turned into a child and stared ahead, panting.

With just one slash, she was almost exhausted.

“Huh? Blocked?

On a broken ship near Barati, a man in a straw hat and a man in golden armor were fighting. A man next to him had just put away his black saber and looked over in surprise.

A trace of surprise appeared in those eagle-like eyes. “That little girl?”

The black saber swung out again.

“It’s… it’s here again!”

Crowe’s eyes widened as he watched the bigger slash appear again.

This time, it was too late.

A golden half-moon-shaped slash suddenly appeared on the deck and rushed straight to the dark green and collided in the middle.

Bang!!!

The two slashes did not give way to each other and pushed each other like a competition of strength. Finally, they turned into air waves and exploded in the sea, causing huge waves.

The waves swept across the sky and turned into a storm that hit the Battleship.

“Flying Chop? Interesting.”

A smile appeared on the lips of the man in the distance. He jumped on his small boat and headed over.

Kuro stood at the bow of the ship with a gloomy face, staring at the small ship that was gradually appearing in front of him.

“Kuro, you… big idiot, I’m hungry,” Leda said weakly.

Kuro glanced at her. “Sorry, my mistake, I was taking a nap. Crowe, get some food for Leda.”

He was sleeping well when such a place came out of nowhere. If it weren’t for Leda, this ship would probably be lost, and…

The blood on Leda’s hand made him a little unhappy.

Soon, Crowe brought over a pile of food and Leda gobbled it up. Then she patted her belly and heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s slowing down. It’s too scary. What’s with that slash? When did East Blue have a sword… sword…”

Needless to say, Leda saw the approaching boat and the man sitting in it.

Those sharp eagle eyes and the huge black saber on his back.

“That black blade, it can’t be wrong, Chaotic Blade Heavy Flower character, the world’s strongest black blade… That is Hawkeye!”

Leda’s eyes were wide with horror.

Kuro nodded solemnly. “Shichibukai, the world’s number one swordsman, Jorakol Mihawk.”

“World’s Greatest Swordsman?!”

Crowe looked over in horror. He had heard of this name even in the information-lagged East Blue.

How could such a man be in East Blue?

Whoosh!

As the ship approached, Mihawk flashed and appeared on the deck of the Battleship.

“It’s you, the one who launched the Flying Chop.”

Mihawk stared at Kuro with interest. He thought it was some swordsman he knew, but he had never seen this young face.

When did the Marine have a new Sword Hero?

“Not me.”

Kuro immediately denied and pointed at Crowe. “He is the one who launched the Flying Slash.”

“???”

Crowe’s glasses are full of question marks.

Mihawk looked at Crowe, who instantly brought Ten Blades and prepared for battle.

“Oh?”

Mihawk slowly pulled out his black blade. The faint pressure made Crowe break out in a cold sweat.

‘He was sold, just like that?’

What happened to a peaceful life!

“Spoon!”

Faced with the pressure, Crowe was the first to attack. His body disappeared and the railing of the ship was immediately torn apart.

This is Crowe’s unique skill. His speed is comparable to Soru of Rokushiki, but he can’t control his direction.

With this move, it can last for a while!

Snap.

Mihawk gently pushed the back of the knife forward and the disappearing Crowe instantly appeared, hit by the back of the knife and fell to the ground.

“I can still tell.”

Mihawk looked at the saber in Kuro’s hand and smiled. “A rare powerhouse, fight with me.”

Damn you, why!

The blue veins on Kuro’s forehead were exposed, “Do I think that you are provoking Marine, Shichibukai position, Mihawk!”

“Can a small Marine represent Headquarters? I don’t want this position.”

Mihawk had an indifferent expression on his face. He slowly pulled out the black saber on his back and looked at the battle in the distance and said, “There is a battle over there. If Marines go over, it will be very troublesome. Stay here with me.”

Shua!

He slashed at Leda.

The knife came too fast for Leda to react and she could only watch the black knife approach.

Dang!

A saber covered in Armament Haki was placed under the black saber.

Kuro’s face was cold and he said word by word: “Don’t joke, pirate!”
