Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 290

Dying on the Battlefield and on the Bed

“Flower Country?”

Kuro was stunned for a moment and looked at Leda, who was eating at the side and was tired of several chefs.

“Don’t you know?”

Zephyra glanced at him and said, “If white hair is just a rare color, and white-haired people can still eat it, maybe it’s just a weirdo on the sea, but this Leda… is very talented in body techniques.”

“Yes.” Kuro nodded.

Leda’s body technique talent is not just strong, it is even much stronger than Kuro himself. She is a real body technique.

Zephyra could tell that this little girl’s body technique talent is very powerful.

“White hair, edible, very strong body technique talent, then there is only one, that must be the people of the ‘Lo’ family of Kano Country,” Zephyr said.

Kuro’s expression became strange. “But can’t Leda eat it because of the fruit?”

The Essence Energy Fruit is the key to making her eat so much.

“Is he still a fruit user?”

Zephyra was stunned for a moment and said, “No matter if it’s a fruit ability user or not, the people of the Law family should be able to eat. You should know what it means to be able to eat.”

Being able to eat means that the absorption of energy is stronger. The so-called ‘Life Return’ is only used to store energy at critical moments, either to increase combat power or to sustain mobility.

If one is born to eat, it means that the so-called ‘Lo’ family is born to return lives, which is a first-class physical talent.

Not to mention, the ‘Essence Energy Fruit’ can’t be turned into an ability fruit that can be learned by looking at a body technique, it’s more of absorbing essence energy to use.

According to Leda, he remembered that she lived alone when she was eight years old. Her childhood memory might not be so clear, or she might have changed her name.

“If it’s the ‘Lo’ family, little Kuro…”

Zephyra said, “That’s a cruel family. If you encounter them, don’t interfere. It will be very troublesome.”

“Old man Zephyr, you are too nervous.”

Kuro waved his hand. “Leda is just an ordinary girl who can eat a little. What trouble can there be? Besides, even if it is very troublesome…”

His voice deepened and his expression became serious. “I will solve it for her too.”

Zephyra glanced at him and smiled. “Not bad, young and energetic. I’m too old to be like you.”

Kuro smiled and said nothing. He just looked at Leda, who was eating, with a gentle gaze.

“It’s up to you. You can do whatever you want. You’re an old Marine and you know the importance of things.” Zephyra said and stopped talking. She looked at Leda and then her face became worse.

It’s too f*cking edible!

If he continues to eat, he will run out of food for several Battleships.

Fortunately, this is the West Blue, not the strange and changeable weather of the Grand Line. We can go to the next town to resupply.

In the end, he let Leda eat her fill.

After all, he called him Grandpa. Even if he had to force himself, he had to let Lida eat her fill.

The next day, several Battleships evacuated.

Because Crowe returned with his people, there were no pirates left on the island. Not only that, he also brought back the surviving civilians, all of whom were brought back to Pegasus Town.

“Mr. Kuro, I have brought the people back because there doesn’t seem to be many of them, and the population of Pegasus Town is also in short supply. Why don’t we fill the place first and make the town prosperous.”

Crowe’s suggestion won Kuro’s heart.

Where there are people, there are people.

Only people are productive.

Because of the pirates, the people on the island have fewer people. If they are distributed in other areas, then there is no production capacity. In addition, it is not safe. It is better to be in the town of Pegasus so that he can manage it.

So bringing everyone back was a good thing.

There are quite a lot of houses here. You can just find one and live in it. Only by filling the population can Pegasus Town have the foundation to become prosperous again.

“Kuro little ghost…”

As the Marines united on the Battleship, Zephyr looked at them with his back to Kuro and suddenly said, “In the future… if I can’t do it, remember to bring Ian and Bintz. They are like Hernando, so I don’t want them to become Hernando.”

Kuro narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. “Okay, I agree to this.”

“Is that so…”

Zephyra smiled. “Then I’ll leave it to you. I hope we won’t meet again…”

Kuro watched him board the Battleship and as the Battleship left, he sighed slightly. “Do you already have a premonition?”

“That old man’s eyes are very dull.”

Leda stood aside and commented.

You call him Grandpa when you eat and call him Old Man when you can’t eat?

Are you a cat?

Kuro pursed his lips and said, “From the moment his family died, the meaning of his existence has been halved. When his beloved student died a few years ago, the meaning was halved. He is still holding on because he is still a Marine and justice did not betray him.”

“If justice betrays him, he will have serious doubts about his life because he has dedicated his life to Marines. If he does that, the situation will be very serious…”

Especially Hernando. Although that man was not killed by Zephyra herself, his beliefs were shaken.

But there was no way to stop this.

From the beginning, Zephyra was a tragic figure because what he wants to do now is completely different from the path he is pursuing.

If he went in the wrong direction, he would be wrong no matter what.

Because Marines are not all Marines. Above it is the World Government.

If he wanted to untie the knot in his heart, he could only leave the Marine.

But if he leaves the Marine, Zephyr’s belief will collapse. This is a contradictory point.

For Zephyr, the price he paid was most likely death.

But this, Kuro could not say to Zephyr.

He persuaded a former Admiral to teach many elite instructors to quit the Marine?

He doesn’t want to work anymore?

After all, Kuro doesn’t have a knot in his heart. He just wants to eat and wait for death. He respects heroes and admires ambitious people.

Just don’t provoke him.

If you provoke him, I don’t care what kind of hero you are. If I don’t make your face full of peach blossoms, can he still be called Luciru Kuro?

“On the account that you have taught me, if you really have something in the future, I will take over your innocent subordinates. At that time, I will give you an incense stick.”

Kuro lit a cigar and blew smoke.

Just as Hernando wanted to forcibly change Zephyr’s beliefs, Kuro would also be disrespectful if he interfered in his life’s process. So what if this older generation is a little willful?

Dying on the battlefield is much more interesting than dying in a hospital bed.
