Chapter 70
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
I Donât Want to Be in East Blue anymore, Mr. Kuro!
In the small restaurant in Shields Town, Kuro let the other Marines move around freely. He brought Leda and Crowe and sat opposite Kaz.
âAh, Kuro, you havenât been here for a long time. I heard that you went to Headquarters. Is there anything new on the Grand Line?â
The owner of the tavern, Lilia, asked with a smile.
By the way, her sisterâs name is Rika, the little girl who delivered food to Zoro when he was caught.
Kuroâs house is in the town of Shelz. He is a native of East Blue, so of course he is familiar with the people in the town.
âWhatâs so good about Grand Line? Itâs worse than East Blue.â
Kuro curled his lips. Whatâs so new about the Grand Line? The latest thing about the Grand Line is all kinds of pirates.
Who the hell is willing to run there?
After exchanging pleasantries with Lilixiang, Kuro sat at the table and waited for the dishes to be served.
On the other hand, Leda was staring at Lily Fragrance like a cat, full of vigilance.
âWhat are you doing? Itâs impolite to keep staring at me.â Kuro touched her head and straightened it.
âHmph!â Leda snorted, making Kuro a little confused.
âKuro, how old is this woman?â she suddenly asked.
âHow old?â
Kuro subconsciously glanced at Lilyâs chest and thought about what Leda looked like when she transformed. Then he realized that he was not talking about that.
âWell, sheâs in her thirties. She was a girl when I was little.â Kuro thought for a while and answered.
In this world, adolescence is long, especially for the strong.
Kizaru is almost 60 years old. Actually, he looks no different from 40 years old.
But once it exceeds 80, it will age rapidly.
Lily was in her thirties, but she looked like a girl in her twenties.
It was really impossible to tell his age just by looking at his appearance.
And Kuro remembered that there was an old witch in the Windmill Village in the original work.
When Luffy was young, she looked like a girl. When Luffy grew up, she still looked like a girl.
Fruit of Youth ability user?
Kuro shook his head and shook off the thought.
âKaz, I have a suggestion about the way of justice you preach.â Kuro looked at Kaz.
Kaz sat up straight like a serious primary school student being spoken to by a teacher. âMr. Kuro, please speak. Is there anything to add about your will?â
âOnly one thing, donât bring my name,â Kuro said seriously.
Kaz felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He asked anxiously, âWhy? Did I not do enough?â
No, thatâs great. So good that Iâm a little scared.
âI have already gone to Headquarters. I will be annoyed if you promote me so much in East Blue. And I am not âTenacious Justiceâ, but âSafe Justiceâ. Everything you do is your own credit.â
Kuro said earnestly, âBecause of your publicity, I was promoted to Second Lieutenant. I really donât deserve this position. So donât bring my name anymore. You did a good job in East Blue. I look forward to your next performance and I am proud to have you as my subordinate.â
âAre you proud of me?â
Kazâs originally gloomy expression brightened again. âMr. Kuro, I understand!â
âWhat do you understand?â
Kuro felt that it was a little dangerous. He had to ask.
Kaz took a deep breath and said loudly, âI wonât preach your will anymore.â
âNo, no, no. That is your will, not mine. What you have been preaching from the beginning to the end is your will. It has nothing to do with me.â
Kuro waved his hand. He had to correct Kazâs idea, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.
âYes! Thatâs my will!â Kaz said seriously.
âAnd then?â Kuro continued.
âYou should show your ambition on the Grand Line. East Blue has nothing to do with you anymore,â Kaz said.
Kuro was happy and patted Kazâs shoulder happily. âThatâs right, this is the right way. We have a superior and a subordinate. You canât be so bad⦠No, you canât be affected by me and delay your own future.â
Kaz nodded solemnly. âI will complete my justice. Donât worry, Mr. Kuro!â
âOkay, I came here mainly for this. What you did made me unable to sleep for a few days. Now itâs solved. Remember, donât say my name.â
Kuro laughed happily and called out to Lily, âLily, have some wine. Cass and I will get drunk today!â
Itâs done!
It was finally done!
This is the real Cass.
He also promised himself that he would not say his name in East Blue.
Then there is no risk of promotion!
In the tavern, Kuro happily drank a few barrels until late at night before saying goodbye to Kaz.
He walked to the port and shouted happily at the sea, âThe sea is as big as a fish!â
âIs there a need to be so happy? Itâs just East Blue.â Leda was puzzled.
âWhat do you know?â
Kuro grinned and said, âKill all the danger in the cradle. This is my way of survival! And Kaz is still very reliable. After all, we have worked together for so long. I still know this guyâs character and he wonât do anything to betray us.
âBesides, how can there be a fool in this world who doesnât want to be famous and always gives his fame to others?â
Hearing this, Leda looked at Kuro expressionlessly.
Crowe adjusted his glasses and was speechless for a moment.
âWhy are you looking at me? Letâs go to sleep, Iâll take you to Barati tomorrow!â Kuro happily patted Lidaâs little head.
âBalati!â
Ledaâs eyes lit up. âYou said it. Donât lie to me.â
âDonât worry, Iâve always done what I promised you.â
⦠.
Kaz looked up at the moon as he walked.
He could not help but sigh in his heart.
What a good Marine!
For such a small reputation, they actually came to East Blue to look for him in guilt just to explain this matter.
Sure enough, Mr. Kuro has always been noble.
He could not let down Mr. Kuroâs good intentions!
âLieutenant Kuro is right. He is already on the Grand Line. East Blue doesnât need his fame, but the Grand Line does! No matter how hard I try to promote it in East Blue, the effect is limited. Mr. Kuro will not be happy. With his ability, he will definitely make some achievements on the Grand Line. He doesnât need some fame in East Blue.â
Kaz looked at the moonlight and murmured, âThe more I am in East Blue, the more I discover the limitations of East Blue. So, I donât want to be in East Blue anymore, Mr. Kuro!â
Grand Line!
Only when he reaches the Grand Line can he serve under Mr. Kuro again and add a weak force to Mr. Kuroâs justice!
Kazâs eyes seemed to be on fire. Kuroâs words had aroused his ambition.
Kuro should be known to the whole world for his nobility and justice!
East Blue is indeed not enough, and the most famous place is naturally Grand Line!
Since Kuro doesnât want East Blueâs credit, I will use this credit to go to the headquarters!
âMr. Kuro, donât worry. When we meet again, I will definitely surprise you!â
Kaz silently swore in his heart. He wanted to say that just now, but Mr. Kuro hated men who talked big, so he had to hide himself until he had enough credit to be promoted to Headquarters for training.
He will even make some achievements in the headquarters. When he enters Mr. Kuroâs command, he will definitely be happy.
