Chapter 398
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Be Careful not to twist your waist!
In the crowd, the person who was slowly walking over dragged four people who were seriously injured with their eyes rolled back. Those people all had crowns on their heads. They were the kings of the Four Kingdoms.
He was tall and thin, with white hair braided into two braids that hung over his shoulders. His eyebrows were scarlet, and a gold chain hung from his mouth. He was wearing a plum-red shirt and blood-red trousers, black leather shoes with gold edges, and a wide blood-red cloak with checkered patterns on the inside. He had a blue rose around his neck and a slender bat-handle umbrella in his hand.
With a devilish smile on his face, he put down the king of the four countries and his figure flashed. In the next moment, he appeared at the highest point of the mountain that divided the battlefield and looked down at Judge.
âItâs really⦠wasted so much time and itâs not done yet. We have already exceeded the time we agreed, Judge.â
Judge argued, âItâs just that this Marine is not easy to deal with. Without him, we would have completed it long ago.â
âFailure is failure, just like Roger was captured and Newgate died in battle. Failure, nothing can be undone.â
The man shook his head. âSince I have taken action myself, the cooperation will be canceled. I donât want the deposit. The rest of the profits are not for you.â
âHow can this be!â
Judge shouted, âWe also did a lot!â
âWork?â
The man glanced at Judge and was silent for a while before he nodded and said, âOh, so thatâs what I think. Win the Four Kingdoms to get the title, take advantage of my laxness to get the treasure. If you can defeat me, you can also get the title of defeating âSolitary Redâ. Itâs really despicable, so I hate to ally with people.â
âItâs him, Lonely Red, Red Earl, Balorick Ledfield,â Crowe confirmed.
Hearing Croweâs words, Ledfield looked over. âA Marine who wants to live in peace? Interesting, why is he here?â
As soon as he finished speaking, before Crowe could react, he continued to nod. âOh, the boss came over, so he had to come over?â
âNani?â
Croweâs eyes widened. This guy actually saw through his thoughts. As expected ofâ¦
âAs expected of a legendary figure?â
Ledfield said to Crowe, âYouâre wrong. The so-called legend says that you can leave your name on the sea, and I am not qualified to leave my name on the sea now, so I came here to find the opportunity to become the strongest.â
âThis Kenbonshoku (Observation)â¦.â
Kuro saw this scene and stared at the old man standing on the high ground and clicked his tongue. âHeâs a little strong.â
âLuciru Kuro.â
Ledfield turned and said, âI know you, a famous Marine who has recently appeared, huh? Itâs interesting that you think being famous is a bad thing.â
So strong that he can read his own mind?!
Kuroâs eyebrows sank.
âActually, I didnât want to.â
Ledfield shook his head. âMy Kenbonshoku (Observation) has been very powerful since I was a child. I can easily see through peopleâs hearts. Now, this is even more powerful. But donât worry, people like you can only read the surface thoughts.â
âI heard you were on the sixth floor. Did that bastard Tiki let you out?â Kuro tightened his grip on Autumn Water and faced Ledfield.
He consciously restrained his mind and did not let Ledfield read his thoughts before looking over.
âAhâ¦â
Ledfield looked up at the sky and sighed sadly. âLet it out? No, I canât say that. Itâs just that I was willing to come out. Newgate is dead⦠The old guys on the sea are not glorious after all. Age is the biggest enemy. They are not defeated by the enemy, they are just old. So I came out.â
He reached out to the moon. âI will find it and restore the power of youth. Then, after Roger and Newgate, I will become the strongest person in the sea. I will find the only treasure and become the new Pirate King.â
âYou continue, goodbye.â
Kuro cupped his hands and was about to leave.
âThat wonât do.â
Ledfield smiled at him. âBefore I get that powerâ¦â
Whoosh!
With that, his body flashed and he instantly arrived in front of Leda on the stone platform, and the bat-shaped umbrella stabbed towards her.
âI donât want Marines to know about my reappearance!â
The speed was so fast that Lida could not react in time. She maintained her eating posture and froze there.
At that moment, the stone platform below her collapsed. Just as the Bat Umbrella was about to arrive, Leda fell down because she lacked support.
Ledfield smiled and the bat umbrella he waved suddenly moved down and slashed at Leda.
Clang!!!
A black saber was placed on the bat umbrella, and a wave of air was immediately stimulated in the air, spreading out in a circle.
Kuro appeared opposite Ledfield, his face gloomy. âHey, old man, what do you want to do!â
âNice knife. Is it yours?â
Ledfieldâs umbrella was painted with a touch of Armament Haki and entangled with the black blade. The two sides wrestled and made a cracking sound.
At this moment, he suddenly moved his hand up and the Bat Umbrella smoothly slid up the Autumn Water Blade. With a flip of his wrist, the Bat Umbrella rotated on his palm and went straight for Kuroâs head.
âAfterimage Slash!â
However, this sword only stabbed an afterimage. Kuroâs body rippled like water and a cold voice sounded from behind Ledfield.
Autumn Water turned into a black light and slashed down.
Ledfield smiled. The moment the autumn water hit him, his body disappeared in a flash and he appeared on the ground. He praised, âYour speed is not bad. You can actually keep up with me.â
He couldnât fly.
So many actions just now were done in the air, which shows how fast it was.
âThe old guy should leave.â
Kuroâs blade missed, he reached out to the sky and gritted his teeth, âForcibly come out and move, be careful not to twist your waist!â
The sky was dark, and a large number of weapons, rocks, and ships fell from the sky like meteors, aiming at Ledfield and bombarding it.
âThis abilityâ¦â
Ledfield looked up and said nostalgically, âI miss it. Shiki alsoâ¦â
He held the Bat Umbrella tightly and waved it up heavily. A semi-circular ripple cut out from the umbrella and swept towards the object falling from the sky.
BOOM!!!
Under the slash, those things were all destroyed. The rocks were broken and the weapons were deformed into fragments. The ship was even cut through and shattered into a ball. Under the shock wave of the slash, they collectively splashed away.
A few rudder flew out and hit Kuroâs head.
Kuro bared his teeth and clenched his fingers. âLion Wei Ground Roll!â
The broken objects, including the rudder, gathered together again and formed a huge lion head with a roaring mouth that bit at Ledfield.
Even if it shattered into pieces, it was still under his control!
