Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 1007 – People Who Fear The Sea

What is a powerhouse?

Kaz had once asked Mr. Kuro.

At that time, they were still in East Blue. Mr. Kuro was a Cao, and he was Mr. Kuro’s military adviser.

For a moment, he just thought that Mr. Kuro was a good and respectable Marine. He cared about the safety of his subordinates, the safety of the civilians, and the sloth he maintained was all to exercise their Marine sense of responsibility.

At that time, Kaz was still confused. He was just a Marine with an uncertain sense of justice, and he followed the crowd to destroy pirates.

“Powerhouse… how should I tell you?”

At that time, Kuro was half leaning on a chair in the narrow office of the patrol ship, pointing to the sea outside the window. “See that sea.”

“I did.” Kaz didn’t understand.

“The sea is terrifying. Are you afraid?”

Kaz shook his head. “Not really. As a Marine, you have to be ready to die at sea.”

In response, Kuro just smiled and said nothing.

Kaz had never understood the meaning of this, not even when he later understood his own tenacious justice, because the Marine’s duty is to protect and maintain justice. Those who are not afraid of the sea protect those who are afraid of the sea. This is his justice.

It wasn’t until he saw the investigation report that Kuro had written in the past that he understood a little and observed his surroundings.

In Dressrosa and the surrounding islands, he saw a lot.

Those who farm are busy farming and have to deal with storms and tsunamis that can come at any time. Kaz has seen people who cried bitterly because of the rainstorm and then wiped their tears and gritted their teeth to save them.

The craftsmen who built the buildings collapsed because of the sudden earthquake on the island. The craftsmen continued to build without saying anything.

Walking vendors were destroyed by the tsunami and their supplies were robbed by pirates. But after surviving, they still went to sell their remaining wages.

Are they afraid of the sea?

Of course he was afraid!

But fear has never given up!

They are people who have experienced many failures and are still unwilling to give up. They are afraid of the sea, they are afraid of the storms, earthquakes and tsunamis derived from the sea, they are afraid of sea beasts, they are afraid of pirates and even afraid of everything that changes their lives.

Kaz’s will to fight for survival is shocking!

He had seen too much.

If it is a person, he will help them out of duty, that is Marine duty.

But what if a hundred people did that?

A thousand people, 10,000 people, and even the endless sea are doing this?!

That will shocked Kaz!

He finally understood!

“Strong or not, it’s not up to you to decide!!”

The white gas of the white behemoth seemed to be more solid and it let out a roar that shook the island.

“Look, open your eyes and look at those people!!”

That voice shocked Wang Long again. Kaz didn’t say where it was, but he subconsciously looked at the farmland in the distance.

Behind the golden farmland was a group of civilians with pitchfork sticks in their hands. They looked afraid and worried, but there were no signs of retreat.

“You and I are both ordinary people who only occupy a little resources. Once we lack these things, once we experience failure, we may not be as strong as them!”

Kaz shouted, “Strongness is not determined by resources! Strongness is determined by the heart, and so is tenacious justice, because of survival, because of duty, because of duty, and because of its courage! The hymn of mankind is a hymn of courage. For those who are defeated by the storm, overturned by the waves, lost their homes by the earthquake, and robbed of everything by pirates, they still have the courage to face all of this. What makes you say they are weak!!”

The white gas suddenly burst, and the white gas in the shape of a giant beast dispersed and rushed directly to Wang Long’s body. The impact of Haoshoku made Wang Long’s mind tremble violently. He couldn’t even hold the stone pillar and fell to the ground.

The appearance of the white behemoth disappeared and turned into a misty white fog that wrapped around the 2,000 Marines. The bearded leader held a saber and pointed it at Wang Long.

Mr. Kuro once said that the confluence of rivers, the drop of mercury into the sea, the spark of a star can burn the plains!

Watching the trajectory of these people’s lives, seeing Mr. Kuro’s investigation report, and Wilbur’s recorded “Justice Quotations”, he finally understood what Mr. Kuro asked at that time!

“We have to let Evil see that not only is that group of people protected, but they also have to see that the power they erupt with is not easy to bully!”

“We are the protectors and practitioners of this tenacious will!!!”

Wang Long stared blankly at the bearded man who was full of justice. It had been a long time since he had been a ranger in Kano Country.

At that time, he was also looking for justice. At that time, people looked at him and laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

When did it start to change? …

It was after he went out to sea and encountered a large number of strong masters. When he fought with those strong masters, he gradually put his focus on the door of Force.

Improve ‘Force’ and crazily improve ‘Force’. If he can’t defeat them, he will not deal with them for the time being. Wait until he cultivates again and becomes stronger. As long as he works hard to improve ‘Force’, he will be able to defeat those people.

As a long-time traveler of the sea, he had also seen the sights Kaz had mentioned and seen people who lived with courage, but he had forgotten.

He forgot himself who drew his sword and swung it at a stronger person because he couldn’t stand seeing things.

Right now, all he can think about is when he can win, not the old him who never thought about whether he could win or not.

“Force…”

Wang Long lowered his head and looked at the stone pillar by his feet, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

“What a powerful Haoshoku and momentum.”

He picked up the stone pillar, took a deep breath, shook the stone pillar hard on the ground, and shouted, “The king of Kano Country, Wang Long, today as a pirate, he is against Marines, nothing else! You also… don’t underestimate me!!”

He picked up the stone pillar and rushed towards the group of soldiers.

It doesn’t matter if I’m not strong enough. I’ll just swing my sword first!

Don’t think about anything. Even if you feel that you have lost your spirit by waving your sword like this, you still have to swing your sword. Just to tell the man in front of you that he admires you, he will not admit defeat!!

… .

“Achoo!!”

In the headquarters office, Kuro suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose with his index finger and opened his eyes. “Strange, are you asleep? And dreaming…”

On the other side of the sofa, Leda asked curiously, “What dream?”

“Ah…”

Kuro pondered for a while and turned his head to look at the sea outside the window. “When I was in the East China Sea, Kaz asked me what it takes to be strong. I replied to him, ‘Are you afraid of the sea?’ He said he was not afraid.”

“And?”

“Then? Then that’s it. If he’s not afraid of the sea, then what else is there? Originally, if he answers with fear, then tell him to overcome his fear of the sea, but this guy’s answer of fear blocked me. I can only smile. Let me tell you, when you don’t know how to talk, just smile.”

At that time, they were constantly worried that the ship would be overturned by a sea beast or something.

Kaz wasn’t afraid, but he was terrified.
