Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Famous Blade [Hua Zhou] (1)
Pirates are naturally endless, and Kuro does not have the ambition to catch all the pirates in the world.
The warship sailed out of the Calm Belt and entered the Grand Line.
Except for Crowe, who looked a little excited, everyone else looked calm.
Smoker and Tashigi were trained at Headquarters and came to the Grand Line, and Leda herself was born on the Grand Line.
Kuro looked indifferent. What is there to be excited about a broken seaway? It has been sailed by others so many times.
… .
In an island town, inside a restaurant.
Kuro yawned.
“Smoker, the sea is so big, where can you find Straw Hat? Why don’t we go directly to Headquarters, then you can move around for me, then you can float on the Grand Line and I will go back to East Blue.”
This island is called Lunes Island. There is a small town on the island where Marines dock to buy supplies.
Smoker looked at the distant sea through the window and said in a deep voice, “He can’t sail that fast. Even if he got the Log Pose, he needs to record the magnetic field of the island.”
Marine’s biggest advantage is that their intelligence is definitely stronger than that of the Pirates. The fact that Luffy killed a lot of bounty hunters at Whiskey Mountain has happened, and Smoker knows his route accurately.
However, there were no clues after that. The sea was too big and it was too difficult to find a ship.
Even Kuro feels that the Grand Line is big enough. The size of this world is astonishing.
“Colonel Smoker, the purchase is complete!”
A Marine entered the restaurant and saluted.
“Lida, finish eating quickly. Let’s go.”
Kuro said to Leda, who was still eating.
“Yes, yes.”
Leda chewed with her cheeks and nodded, eating faster.
The group walked out of the restaurant.
“By the way, where is Tashigi?”
Smoker looked around as if he did not see his subordinates.
“I don’t know.”
Marine replied: “It was nearby before.”
“Stop, don’t run!”
Suddenly, a voice came from nearby.
He saw Tashigi holding a knife and chasing a man, running towards him.
“Tashigi, what are you doing!” Smoker asked loudly.
“Colonel Smoker, help me catch him. This man is very suspicious. He has been hiding from us Marines!”
“Che, how troublesome. Marines, get ready and surround that man.”
Smoker began to give orders to the surrounding Marines.
However, at this moment, Kuro’s gaze paused and he looked at the man’s waist where a knife was hanging.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Kuro appeared in front of the strange man. He reached out his foot and tripped the man, who fell down. Kuro scooped up the knife in his hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Kuro. What a great help.” Tashigi bowed and thanked him.
“No… I think I have to thank you.”
Kuro gripped the handle and pulled the knife out. “You are an expert in sword appreciation. Come and see what this is.”
The arc of this blade is quite small and there is no reclamation, which means that there is no adjustment of the center of gravity. The pattern on the blade is like a fire cloud.
“This one…”
Tashigi was stunned for a moment and quickly took out a small notebook and quickly flipped through it. Soon, she said excitedly, “Huazhou, it’s Huazhou, one of the famous knives of the ’50 Quick Blades’!”
“Hua Zhou…”
Kuro looked at the man on the ground and remembered that this knife seemed to be a knife that Tashigi got from the cadre of Baroque Chinese Society after entering the Grand Line.
It belongs to one of the 83 swords, which is even more advanced than Tashigi’s Time Rain. After all, Time Rain is only a famous sword, not counting the top 83 swords.
“Thanks for your kindness, this knife is mine.” Kuro smiled.
“What are you talking about? You got it in the first place, and an outstanding swordsman like you should be equipped with a famous sword!”
Tashigi had always thought that it was a pity that Kuro did not have a famous sword. She originally thought that if she encountered a famous sword, she would give it to Kuro. She did not expect Kuro to get one himself.
Her goal is to take the Named Blade from the bad guys, and a good person like Mr. Kuro naturally has a Named Blade.
Famous saber, didn’t I get it for free!
Compared to using Haki Day to nourish it at night, Kuro still liked to pick up ready-made ones.
With a famous knife, he was one step closer to his safe life.
“Oh? Did you get a good knife? Your strength has improved.”
Smoker walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the man. “Tashigi, who is this guy?”
“I don’t know. I only heard that he called himself Mr. 11 and deliberately avoided Marines. I have been observing him for a while. Normal people would not do that.”
Tashigi shook her head.
“Suspicious person? Take him away and interrogate him on the ship.”
Smoker said to Marine and walked towards the Battleship.
They continued to sail above the sea. As for the so-called Mr. 11, after he was arrested, he did not say anything.
The more he did not speak, the more suspicious he became.
But it was useless not to speak. Soon, Marine intercepted a message with a Den Den Mushi.
“Mr. 0, Straw Hat, Vivi…”
Smoker listened to the information and pondered. “Vivi, I remember that it’s the name of Princess Alabasta, why is it related to Straw Hat… Anyway, their destination is I know where it is, Alabasta.”
“Alabasta? I heard that the country is in a coup.”
“Whatever it is, our goal is just to catch pirates.”
Smoker said to a Marine: “Contact Headquarters and ask for a permanent pointer from Alabasta. We will go to Alabasta.”
Leda was stunned. “Alabasta…”
“Why, have you been there?” Kuro asked.
“I used to stay there for a while. The cactus tastes bad.” Leda’s expression was disgusted.
You are the one who is hated by others!
Kuro pulled the corners of his mouth and looked at Lida in disdain.
“Alabastan…”
He didn’t object to going to Alabasta. If his memory is correct, Alabasta doesn’t need Marines. After all, the government has no right to intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom.
“Just treat it as going to see a big show for free and travel.”
Alabasta is a completely independent country of internal affairs, and it is a land country. There are few port cities and there is no need for Marines. In addition, Crocodile, one of the direct subordinates of the World Government, is here, which is relatively safe.
But no one would have thought that the biggest ‘pirate’ was in Alabasta.
The thief will be killed, and the thief will become a duke.
In terms of the level of being a pirate, Crocodile and ordinary pirates are really completely different.
… .
Alabasta, Nara, the port city closest to the sea.
Kuro and others had already arrived.
“I’m going to find a place to eat. You can play by yourself.”
Kuro waved at Smoker and left with his knife.
“Take me, take me!”
Leda cheered and followed.
Crowe followed.
Although he joined the Marine, he still felt awkward when he was alone with the Marine. He had to get used to Kuro.
“What a lazy guy.”
Smoker sighed helplessly. “Forget it. I didn’t expect you to do anything. Darski, go and collect information and see if there are any signs of the Straw Hats.”
“Yes! Colonel Smoker.”
