Chapter 24
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
I want to create a rebellion, the world will tremble
âRevolutionary Army?â
Kuro thought for a moment. âStand and watch.â
Thatâs what most Marines think, and itâs what Kuro thinks.
Smoker narrowed his eyes. âDorag came here and disappeared. I donât know what he came here for. Is it just to release the Straw Hats? It doesnât seem like it.â
Rogue Town does not belong to any kingdom, and I have never heard of a coup in the vicinity.
âWhatâs the point of thinking about this? Thatâs the governmentâs business, not our Marineâs. Our duty is to fight pirates and leave the rest.â
Kuro laughed.
Of course, he knew what Dorag came for, and the riot caused by that man, Kuro understood but did not agree.
There has been a conflict in Rogue Town for a long time. Even if there is no Dorag, there is still the Dorag. Once Smoker leaves, this town will sooner or later cause a riot.
Kuro understood this, and the reason why Kuro could not agree was that no matter what, no one in this world could really make him agree.
Kuro looked at Smoker and suddenly asked, âI heard that the Grand Line has the wonders of the Sea Train, but it is only limited to the vicinity of Water 7, but such a convenient transportation tool, why not spread it all over the world, wouldnât that be very convenient?â
Smoker flatly denied, âThe Sea Train is not owned by the World Government, it is just a cooperation, and that is too costly. Why do you ask?â
âSuppose the Revolutionary Army overthrows the World Government, do you think it will cover the whole world with Marine Train?â
Smoker thought about it and shook his head.
âSo, letâs stand and watch.â Kuro laughed.
Smoker frowned. He did not understand what Kuro meant. What is the relationship between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army and the Sea Train?
Kuro smiled at the sky.
Smoker did not understand, and no one in this world would understand.
In a certain world, there is a country that even for a remote village with only 100 people living at the border, they have to open the road there for electricity and water, just to make it convenient for the locals.
That is the feelings and responsibilities of the country and the world.
How could anyone in this world understand, and how could he agree?
In their eyes, having a king who loves his people is already a great thing.
The Revolutionary Army overthrew those tyranny countries and then replaced them with a king who loved the people. That was the limit they could think of.
You call this a revolution?
As the successor of political science in his previous life and the one who learned the Dragon Slaying Skill from a young age, he really looked down on this kind of revolution.
I want to rebel, the world will tremble.
So what does the World Government and Revolutionary Army have to do with Kuro? He is a Marine and a Marine who only wants to be safe for the rest of his life.
Whoever wants to be the World Government, no matter who, in this multi-island sea world, no one will not need Marines.
Especially in the Grand Line, where the magnetic field is chaotic and the island has little connection with the island.
Marine is the most secure force on the front line against the existence of chaos and sin.
âMarine is so good. The food is good and the salary is high. If you have nothing to do, go to work, read the newspaper, cut your nails, and steal some cigars to smoke. I like it here.â
With that, Kuro took another cigar from Smoker.
âYou bastard!â
Smokerâs veins were showing. âYou can just get promoted and buy it yourself!â
âAlthough itâs also fragrant if you buy it, itâs more fragrant if you buy it for free.â Kuro chuckled.
Smokerâs eyes were jumping. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said to Kuro:
âThe Straw Hat ran away. I am going to the Grand Line. I must catch him. Kuro, you come with me.â
âHuh? Iâm going to the headquarters to train, I donât have time to play with you.â Kuro waved his hand, not wanting to get involved.
He only wanted to go to the headquarters and see if he could get back to East Blue and live a safe life.
Smoker ignored him and said to a Marine: âGive the headquarters electricity. I am going to the Grand Line. Also, Sub-Commandant Lucilu Kuro, who is ready to go to the headquarters for training, Third-Private Flo Leda, Third-Private Crowe, go with me.â
âHey, you are abusing your power!â Kuro said angrily.
âIf you donât want me to inform Headquarters that you solved the pirate riot in Roguetown and your strength.â
Smoker said to Kuro, âAlso, I have abused my power for a long time. If you donât want to be dispatched by me, go get promoted, bastard!â
âYou want to spar with me, Smoker.â Kuro clenched his fists.
âNo, think about it. If you follow me to the Grand Line, you donât have to do anything if you encounter pirates. You can continue to carry out your justice.
âAs a colonel of the Headquarters, I will give you some activities so that you can be promoted and go to a stable place. Then you can achieve your goal.â
Smoker said quickly.
Fight him? Heâs not stupid. Isnât that asking for torture?
Kuro listened to Smoker and was stunned for a moment.
This⦠seems feasible.
âChloe?â
Kuro subconsciously looked at Crowe.
âI think so.â Crowe nodded.
He had previously suggested that Kuro join a faction.
Kuro knew that Smoker and Aokiji had a good relationship. With his help, his wish to return to East Blue and live a stable life might be achieved.
âHow about going back to East Blue?â Kuro asked.
âItâs hard to say, but it will definitely meet your requirements. Itâs very safe.â
âDeal, Iâll walk around with you.â Kuro thought for a while and confirmed:
âYou said that it has to be a very safe place. Itâs best if there are no pirates nearby.â
âDonât worry, there are no pirates near that place!â Smoker said firmly.
⦠.
âNo Wind Belt, it turns out that Marines can travel from here to Grand Line. Itâs reallyâ¦cheating.â
On the Battleship, Crowe looked ahead at the sea that was almost as flat as the horizon and muttered to himself.
As a pirate, he only knows one way to enter the Grand Line, which is to cross the Upside Down Mountain, which is a very dangerous place. He didnât expect Marine to directly cross the Calm Belt.
âBecause there is a Seastone under the ship, which has the same energy as the sea and will not be discovered by the Sea Kings.â
At the side, Tashigi said, âBut this technology is very rare, so there are not many ships that can sail, and it is only used by this department.â
Smoker acted as he said. They cut straight into the Calm Belt from Roguetown and would go directly into the Grand Line.
On the third floor of the Battleship, on two beach chairs, Kurlo and Smoker lay down and smoked cigars together. Leda sat on the side and ate the food on the table.
Such a leisurely and comfortable safe life was what Kuro wanted the most. Lying here, even his resentment towards Smoker was gone.
âHow good would it be if it was always like thisâ¦â Kuro sighed.
âI donât understand. You are so strong, why are you willing to do this?â
Smoker asked, âIf you really want to be safe, then catch more pirates.â
âHave you heard of a saying?â
âWhat?â
âPeopleâs dreams will never end!â
Kuro straightened up, poured a glass of red wine, and drank it in one gulp.
âSo, pirates canât be caught.â
