Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 9

Any Misunderstandings About Power

Soon, the doctor arrived. When he saw Leda, who had fainted on the ground, he was shocked and gathered people to start the treatment.

Kuro was lying on the hospital bed, pretending to be dead.

The diagnosis came out quickly. Kuro was exhausted.

Although Lidali had not fully recovered, she had absorbed half of Kuro’s energy, causing the doctor to diagnose that Kuro was exhausted.

This was also the effect that Kuro wanted to achieve.

As for Leda, she was purely hungry.

After giving her food to try, she was full of energy again.

Kuro pretended to lie down for a day. When he felt that it was about time, he opened his eyes and woke up.

It was mainly because his energy recovered quickly. Lying down for a day was his limit.

Knowing that Kuro had woken up, Lippa and others immediately arrived.

“Kuro, what happened to you?” Lippa asked.

Kuro got up with a pale face. Leda, who was eating beside him, was very cooperative. She carefully helped Kuro up and leaned him against the back of the bed.

“It’s an old problem, ahem.”

Kuro coughed twice and said weakly, “My body has been weak since I was a child. The sword technique passed down in my family has consumed too much of my body. I will be exhausted after using one move. I can only maintain the most basic battle.”

That was the excuse he had thought of.

Coupled with the doctor’s solid examination, it was simply flawless!

This way, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to occasionally show his strength.

“Cao Kuro, it turns out that you have such a secret, but for the sake of civilians, you still ignore your body. This is really, really too touching!”

Kaz was crying again, tears sticking to his face and his beard.

Leda carefully moved two steps to the side and looked at Cass in disgust.

“I know, Kuro, you rest well, I will take care of the rest for you.”

Lippa nodded solemnly and took Kaz out.

Done? What was done?

Kuro Li Pa’s back felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell.

After going out, Lippa lowered his head and thought. Suddenly, he said to Kaz, “Give all the credit to Kuro.”

“I have no objections. Commander Cao has sacrificed too much for us. Without Cao’s encouragement, we would have sunk into the sea.”

Kaz had no objections, of course.

Li Pa nodded in relief. “We caught a metahuman and gave all the credit for defeating Monka to Kuro. He has been in the branch for ten years, but he has not made any progress. But with these two credits, it is not a problem for him to go to the headquarters for further studies.

His body is too weak. If he goes to the Grand Line, it may solve his physical defects. If it can be solved, Kuro will definitely shine in the Marine!”

He is not a power-hungry person like Monca. On the contrary, he is a Marine with a sense of justice who can think for his subordinates.

Kuro is also an old acquaintance. If he were Kuro, he would be in despair.

As his superior and old friend, he would definitely arrange for Kuro!

“Achoo!”

Kuro sneezed and rubbed his nose.

“Strange, who is thinking of me? Forget it, Leda, peel me an apple.”

“Cut it yourself!”

Lida raised her eyebrows. She did not understand how such a monster was cultivated.

Even if I go all out, I can’t absorb his energy. Instead, I fainted from hunger because I overused my ability!

… .

East Blue was calm and sunny.

Sunlight shone into the office through the window sill. Kuro’s feet were casually placed on the desk. He wore sunglasses and had a cigarette in his mouth. Beside him was a bottle of red wine.

He put out the cigarette and held the goblet in an unusually lazy posture. He shook the wine inside carefully and took a sip.

“Sha sha.”

The sun was shining outside and the breeze was warm and comfortable.

“Sha sha.”

Luffy has already left Division 153 and Monca has also been arrested. It is already calm around here.

“Sha sha.”

Ah… Shuten.

Kuro was already imagining his comfortable and good life.

“Sha sha.”

“Enough! Lida, don’t make a sound when you eat, you’re ruining my mood!”

Kuro’s forehead exposed blue veins as he roared.

Beside him, Leda was holding a big box of cookies and eating them noisily.

“I’m hungry,” Leda said expressionlessly.

“Then go out and eat!” Kuro waved his hand impatiently. “Don’t delay my rare moment of comfort.”

Now that everything is calm, I have nothing to do in the rest of my life. I will just cultivate and live peacefully.

“Chief Kuro!”

Outside the door, there was a series of footsteps and Kaz’s loud voice.

The door was quickly pushed open. Kaz was panting as he held a report. His face was filled with unconcealable joy. “Cao Chang, something good has happened!”

‘You got something good?’

Then nothing good will happen to me.

In the past, when he said that there was something good, he would either fight pirates or fight pirates.

Kuro snapped, “What’s wrong, Kaz?”

Kaz didn’t realize that there was something wrong with Kuro’s tone and said excitedly, “Cao Kuro, you are promoted, you are promoted to a Warrant Officer!”

Hearing that he was just a Warrant Officer, Kuro was relieved. “He’s just a Warrant Officer. He’s not even an officer. Why make such a fuss?”

“It’s Headquarters Warrant Officer, Headquarters wants you to go to Headquarters for further studies!”

“Even if it’s Headquarters…”

Kuro was suddenly stunned. “Wait, what did you say? Headquarters?!”

“Yes, Captain Cao, ah no, Warrant Officer, Warrant Officer Kuro!”

Kaz nodded excitedly.

“Are you kidding me? Let me see the report!”

Kuro no longer had the satisfaction from before. He snatched the report from Kaz and looked at it carefully.

Then he despaired.

It was really Headquarters.

In the report, he was transferred to the headquarters to study.

“Impossible, it doesn’t exist. There is no problem with my promotion, but there seems to be no reason for me to go to the headquarters.” Kuro scratched his head in pain.

“It’s our credit.”

Kaz said proudly, “It’s all thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Lippa and me. We thought it was a pity for you to stay in East Blue, so we pushed all the credit to you.”

It’s you, you loser!

Kuro’s eyes almost turned into sharp swords that could stab Kaz to death.

Kaz felt a chill run through his body and he shivered inexplicably. He glanced out the window, puzzled.

This weather is not cold.

“Warrant Officer Kuro, this is a small token of appreciation from our 153rd Branch. You have worked hard and it is a pity that you do not go to the headquarters to further your studies. As for your body, we have no way to solve it. I believe that the magical place of the Grand Line has a way to solve your body.”

Kaz looked at the red sun enthusiastically.

Kuro was depressed.

“Warrant Officer, do you want to go alone, or do you want to go together when Headquarters comes to receive Monka?”

“Let me think about it again. Thank you very much. You can go out first.”

Kuro touched his forehead and said weakly.

“Then I will leave first.”

Kaz retreated and muttered, “Strange, Warrant Officer Kuro doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. It must be an illusion. He must be too happy to accept it.”

Kaz was so happy at the thought that he hummed a tune as he walked.

“How can it be fixed!”

After confirming that Kaz had gone out, Kuro roared at the sea outside the window.

“What the hell, this is not how it should be! There are so many Grand Line powerhouses, why should I go there to deal with them, I am not strong enough!”

Lida looked disdainful. Does this man have any misunderstanding about power?

“Are you going, Grand Line?”

“Go!”

Kuro gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go sooner or later. It’s good to leave now. Otherwise, when someone comes to receive Monka, I might be even more unlucky.”

It was Garp who received Monka.

That unreliable old bastard who is good at causing trouble is very strong. If he discovers my strength, he will really suffer.

If he went to the Headquarters now, he could just be an ordinary Marine in the Headquarters. If his performance is too bad, he might be sent back to the Four Seas Division.

“Then I want to eat Barati. I’ve long heard of East Blue’s famous sea restaurant. It’s on the way.” Leda’s eyes lit up.
