Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 1144 - 1144 Why Don’t You Give Me Some Face?

1144 Why Don’t You Give Me Some Face?

Face is something that needs to be given and even more needs to be earned by oneself.

Shanks looked up at Kuro, who was looking down, smiled, pulled out the ‘Griffin’ on his waist, swung it down, and said, “Can’t you really make an exception, Kuro, no, Kim.”

As he spoke, the gloominess in the sky seemed to become even more gloomy and gloomy.

Kuro put the cigar from the left side of his lips to the right corner of his mouth and bit it to blow out the smoke. “I knew you came to stop me on purpose. Sorry, I can’t let you.”

With his ability, the easiest way to bypass Red Hair is to fly.

But that was also another form of avoidance.

On a narrow road, the brave wins. After encountering Akagami (Red Hair), flying and taking a detour are all avoidance. As a Marine, especially as a Marine Admiral, Kuro only has one attitude to show, that is, Marine will not give in when encountering pirates.

This is not a simple matter of Marines and pirates encountering each other. This is a political event, because both represent extremely high positions in both camps. One is a general and the other is a Yonk? (Four Emperors). If any problems occur, they are responsible.

Then there is only one outcome, and that is to end with Akagami (Red Hair) taking the initiative to retreat. Kuro will not retreat, he will not even change direction, he will only sail forward.

Whoever takes the initiative to give in will be the one who chooses to give up in this operation.

Kuro naturally wanted this face.

“Why are you blocking my way? If you want to be a nanny so much, go directly to the Country of Peace.”

Kuro didn’t even want to ask why Red Hair came here. He is Yonk? (Four Emperors) and he is the most low-key Yonk? (Four Emperors) in the sea. He can block my way, he obviously knows what I am going to do.

But what he could not understand was that if he was so worried about Straw Hat, he could just directly go to war with Country of Peace. With him, maybe Straw Hat could really win in Country of Peace.

“Everyone has their own experiences, so I naturally won’t interfere. Of course, I won’t let random people destroy the current situation. The pirates will solve their own problems.”

Shanks’s face gradually became solemn. He clenched the sword in his hand. “Kuro, I will not let you go.”

Boom!

A muffled thunder flashed in the sky, with Kuro and Shanks as the boundary, the sky above seemed to be divided into two halves. The half of the sky in Kuro was clear, while the half of the sky in Shanks was covered with dark clouds and thunder sounded.

Ben Beckman smoked a cigarette and took off the gun tied to his waist and held the barrel.

Yes, the barrel. He is indeed a gunman, but he often uses the barrel as the handle and has a gun butt to hit people.

Lackey Road was holding a piece of meat and bone in one hand and holding a pistol in the other, standing on the other side of Shanks.

In the rear, Jesus took the spear on his back and smiled.

Further back, the cadres of the Akagami Pirates were all standing on the deck, looking very excited and full of confidence.

Unlike last time, Red Hair seems to have brought the cadres with him this time.

The first three were the best of the best.

Speaking of which, it is strange that the other Yonk? (Four Emperors) are either ‘Three Disasters’ or ‘Three Generals’ or ‘Four Generals’. Only on Red Hair’s side, the famous cadres are ‘Three Musketeers’ together, but the Captain is a swordsman, which is very outrageous.

However, this was not important.

What was important was that Red Discovery was stopping him.

“I knew it. I don’t know which traitor tipped you off. I didn’t even call Shichibukai. Who the hell gave you the news?”

Crack …

The sound of a blade being unsheathed.

Kuro slowly pulled out Autumn Water and swung it beside him. The sunlight shone on the blade of the black saber, reflecting a metallic light.

Behind them, Crowe and Leda stood on the left and right sides. Moore, Basil, Stork, and Fanny were all waiting behind.

“Ah… this is not good. Are you really not going back? Do me a favor. I helped you watch the battle and witnessed you becoming the world’s number one swordsman.” Shanks was still unwilling to give up.

Kuro pointed Autumn Water forward and said to Shanks, “You still have the face to say that? I go back and think, you are setting a trap for me. I give you face? Why don’t you give me one? Now, get out of my way!”

“That won’t do…”

Shanks shook his head with a bitter smile. “It seems that we are going to fight today.”

“Fire!”

Kuro simply did not talk nonsense with Shanks and directly shouted, “Throw them into the sea.”

“Fire!!”

Boom! Boom!

The Marines, who had entered the battle position as soon as they saw Akagami (Red Hair), heard Kuro’s voice. A Rear Admiral who was in charge of the command shouted, and the fortresses on the Golden Lion fired a large number of dense shells.

At the same time, Kuro’s relaxed left hand suddenly clenched, “Lion Wei Hai Juan Ksitigarbha!”

On the sea, no one is Kuro’s opponent, not even Yonk? (Four Emperors).

This place is his home ground!

Firing the cannon is just a cover. Let’s destroy Shanks’ ship first!

“That can’t let you succeed!”

A smile appeared at the corner of Shanks’s mouth, as if he had expected it. After Kuro issued the command, he waved his right arm forward, and the sword in his hand directly waved out a wave of air, shaking away half of the fan-shaped shock wave and directly hitting the shells.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cannonball directly exploded above the deck, raising a large cloud of dust.

After swinging his sword, Shanks suddenly jumped into the smoke and dust. At this time, Kuro activated his ability. Almost at the same time, Shanks descended from the smoke and dust and slashed down.

Clang!!

With the crisp sound of metal on metal, Kuro’s Autumn Water collided with Shanks’ ‘Griffin’, and a spark erupted at the point of collision.

Buzz!!!

A vast aura spread out with the downward slash of this sword, and an inexplicable strong pressure and deterrence made the sea that had just rolled directly fall into madness. The vortex stirred up under Shanks’ ship directly spread and turned into a huge splash that rolled up and spread out, falling around like a rainstorm.

Most of the Marines rolled their eyes at this moment and their bodies went limp and they fainted.

Haoshoku!

It was Haoshoku Haki!

Crowe directly turned into a Half-Human Wolf with sweat on his forehead. He took a fighting posture and said dryly, “Is it so terrifying?”

Yonk? (Four Emperors) have their own characteristics and differences.

Kaido and Lingling were not playing the same tune as before. On the other hand, Shanks, as an Esper, was most powerful in Haoshoku.

And Kuro had encountered this level of Haoshoku attack before…

He exerted strength in his arm and swung forward, directly pushing Shanks away. When he pushed Shanks away, the blade turned into a black light and slashed at Shanks’ neck.

Shanks leaned back and dodged the extremely fast knife. He turned over on the deck and moved away from Kokoro.

Kuro’s blade missed and he swung Autumn Water again. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Your sword has the style of your Captain…”
