Chapter 36
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Then Itâs Okay
âLuciru Kuro, 24 years old, 153rd Division Warrant Officer.â
In the reception area, the Marine officer in charge of training glanced at Kuro. Well, it was ordinary.
âWhat are you good at?â
âIâm good at some body techniques,â Kuro said.
âBody art?â
The officer looked at the knife in Kuroâs belt.
âWell, itâs a family heirloom. Compared to body techniques, my swordsmanship is only that little.â
Kuro pinched his thumb and forefinger, leaving a small gap.
âWell, the document is correct. It seems to be you. Come to Headquarters for training. As long as there are no mistakes, you will be transferred to Headquarters after your Marine training. In the future, you will be a Marine.
âBut you have to pay attention. There is nothing great about a Warrant Officer. There are many people who are better than you in training. I hope you train well here and donât embarrass Marine.â
âUnderstood.â Kuro saluted.
âNext.â
The officer waved his hand and let the next one continue.
Leda came up to him.
âChildren?â
The officer was stunned and looked at the document in his hand.
It was clearly a young girl who was also 18 years old. Although she looked very similar and her hair color was very similar, and the girl was also very cute, she was indeed not 18 years old.
âMy name is Flo Lida, and I am an Energy Fruit user. This is just my normal state. It will get bigger when I fight.â
Lida directly transformed into a girl and said to the officer.
âAbility user?!â
The officer was shocked. It was not written here. He had picked up a treasure.
Ability users are high-end combat power.
There was nothing she could do about it. Although Kuro wanted Leda to spend her time unobtrusively, if Ledaâs ability was maintained in her maiden form from the beginning, she would not be able to maintain the next two months of training.
It was too easy to get hungry.
Moreover, there should also be swimming and holding breath in the training. If he really gets exposed, he will be exposed sooner or later.
Itâs better to say that you are an ability user from the beginning and you can get preferential treatment. Anyway, if you donât have any military achievements, you canât be an ability user. As long as Leda doesnât show that she is particularly strong, it wonât be a problem.
As for meritorious service, that did not exist.
Even if someone likes her, she is Kuroâs direct subordinate and she doesnât have the will to dispatch, so she wonât be separated.
Therefore, he might as well expose himself and show a little strength. Then, he will be promoted to a medium-sized position according to the bonus and training performance of the ability user. That is enough.
This is Croweâs plan.
He has recently been studying the structure of Marines.
If they simply went to Headquarters to train in silence, it was very likely that after training, they would be transferred to the troops of a Marine Admiral School and then fight those perverted pirates on the Grand Line.
Itâs better to perform more appropriately and get excellent results. Itâs just that itâs not a big deal if the results are excellent. There are many perverts in the headquarters, so itâs not strange for them to perform well.
Kuro is a Warrant Officer. If he performs well, he will have a chance to advance one level. If he is transferred to Headquarters, he will be a Headquarters Second Lieutenant. In addition to the operation that Smoker promised, even if he cannot return to East Blue, he will lead a ship in a safe place.
At that time, the sea will be vast and the sky will be high.
This plan made Kuro nod.
As expected of âHundred Strategiesâ Crowe, recruiting him was indeed the right choice.
It was much better than Kuroâs plan of letting people practice casually without being outstanding or backward.
Hidden in the city, get!
âEssence Energy Fruit? What is the main performance?â The officer asked expectantly.
Leda thought for a moment and touched the officer. Immediately, the officer felt his ability slowly slipping away.
âIt can make peopleâs strength disappear?!â
The officer was originally overjoyed, but he suddenly froze and became disappointed.
This speed of passing is too slow.
The officer is a Headquarters Major, and his physical skills can only be considered average in the Marine. At his level, he can only feel that his physical strength is only flowing very slowly. This ability is too useless.
âCuckooââ
Ledaâs face was sweating and she seemed to use a lot of strength and soon her stomach began to growl.
âI tried my best.â
Leda wiped her sweat and said, âThis is the best I can do, and Iâm hungry very quickly.â
With that, her figure shrank and she turned into a child.
âItâs just thatâ¦â
As if in pity, the officer sighed and comforted Leda, âItâs okay, you are still very young. You will definitely shine if you continue to exercise.â
After all, he is an ability user. Even if his ability is not outstanding, he will still be outstanding after training for a while.
This should be a new ability. Although the effect of this ability may not be very high in the future, it can always surpass the average Marine.
âI know, thank you. By the way, can I go to eat? Iâm hungry,â Leda asked.
âBear with it for a while. Report later and then you can go eat.â
The officer asked Leda to wait on the side. Leda walked over and winked at Kuro, who was waiting on the side with a smug expression.
Kuro nodded and secretly raised a thumb.
The manifestation of this ability is, of course, acting. Although it can show the ability, it will be too eye-catching if Lida is to use it fully.
It would be better to hide like now and wait for the training to be over before secretly increasing his abilities.
Not only will Marines not pay much attention to it, but they can also know that Leda can be promoted. This belongs to an ordinary person who is steadily moving up and does not stand out.
It was perfect.
Incidentally, this was also suggested by Crowe.
âChloe?
The officer looked at the last person who came in. These three people seemed to be together. Originally, he didnât care much, but this name and the fact that he came from Donghaiâ¦
East Blue Marine, man named Croweâ¦
The officer stood up excitedly and grabbed Croweâs hand and said with great joy, âSo itâs you, Mr. Crowe! I heard that you met Hawkeye in East Blue and he said that you can challenge his worldâs number one swordsman throne. I didnât expect to see you here!â
âHuh?â
Croweâs body stiffened and he subconsciously turned to look at Kuro, but before he turned his head, he noticed a dangerous gaze.
How could I forget about this!
Kuro looked at the frozen Crowe and was so angry that he wanted to twist his head off.
This strategy is full of tricks, acting and smooth. Why did it go wrong when it came to the person who came up with the plan!
âThis Crowe is not reliable at all at the critical moment. With him doing this, how can we live peacefully in Headquarters?â
Kuro grumbled under his breath.
Leda looked at him with disgust. âHave you forgotten who the culprit is?â
âWhat do you mean by whoâs who? Donât tell me itâs meâ¦â
Kuro stopped abruptly, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly at Leda.
âItâs me, then itâs okay.â
He was thinking too much just now and forgot that Crowe became like this because of him.
