Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 237

Forget It, I Can’t Afford to Provoke You

These words were a serious blow to Basil.

He had been practicing the Nail Fist Technique with his master since he was young and he was still practicing it until he went to sea.

In the words of the one-eyed old man: You are not talented, but you are diligent. The Nail Fist Technique will be developed in the future in your hands.

He started training at the age of three and after 13 years of spring, autumn, cold, and summer, he finally mastered the technique of dispersing and concentrating his strength.

But since jumping on this ship, all kinds of strange things have happened.

First, it was Leda, who grasped the essence of his body technique with just one look, and then it was this Kuro.

What is this?!

Advanced use of his body technique?

He hasn’t even mastered Haki, but this person can already combine boxing and Haki and develop other moves?

Salzir lay there, his eyes empty and his face suspicious.

Master said that my talent is not outstanding. It is probably true.

Otherwise, how could he learn it for so many years and not use it well in a few days?

“Chloe, Chloe, where are you!”

The man’s voice sounded on the deck. “Have you made the bait? It’s been a few days!”

“It’s done.”

Crowe carried a wooden barrel and ran to Kuro. “Mr. Kuro, the bait you wanted.”

In the wooden barrel was bait made of small fish.

Previously, Foxy blew up his bait with one shot. Without bait, how could he fish?

This task was naturally handed over to his butler.

“Where is my pole?”

Kuro walked to the edge of the ship and looked around. “Lida, Lida, where is my fishing rod!”

“Coming, coming!”

Leda came out with a fishing rod and glared at him and handed it to him.

“Okay, you’re done.”

Kuro twisted the bait and strung it on the line. He swung the fishing rod and put it into the sea.

“I have to catch another big fish, otherwise my days will be wasted.”

The two people on the side were speechless.

After working so hard for so long, he didn’t even get a thank you?

Crowe pushed up his glasses, walked up to Basil, who was lying on the deck and doubting his life, and kicked him.

“Kuro! You lazy thing, get up and train!”

Under the sunlight, Crowe’s glasses glowed and looked cold.

“C-Mr. Crowe, I have just been trained by Mr. Kuro. Look at my injuries.”

Basil felt a little aggrieved.

“Don’t make excuses. Now you need to be transformed. Only with enough beatings, no, enough training can you repent and understand the benefits of Marine!”

Basil was speechless.

You just want to find an excuse to hit me.

“If you don’t get up, then just lie here and try your ability to be beaten.”

Crowe clenched his fists.

“No, I’ll get up, don’t!”

“Iron Fist Gun!”

… .

Another few days passed.

Basil stood on the deck with a bruised face, his face extremely gloomy.

He couldn’t stand it.

He wanted revenge!

Screw Marine Pirates, he wanted revenge.

What Crowe? What Leda? What Kuro? He wanted to kill them all!

Now, immediately, immediately!

Basil’s face is getting more and more ferocious, and his breathing is getting heavier and heavier. He can’t hold back his anger when he thinks of the beatings he has been taking.

He had to act immediately!

Rumble!

On the side, an uninhabited island was uprooted and flew into the sky with a huge sea around it.

Basil could still see the sea beasts struggling in the sea as they were sent up.

The sea rose into the sky, bringing with it a heavy rain.

He was drenched.

In the sky, Kuro floated up with one hand and rose along the island and the seawater, his body also rotated upwards.

“Not bad, not bad. This island has nothing. It would be a pity not to use it to expand the inventory.” Kuro nodded in satisfaction.

It was rare to find an island with no ecology, so of course he had to use it.

In the battle of Kaido, his stock was all gone, and everything was in the New World. If he did not expand something, he would feel that something was missing.

Although a kingdom, together with its buildings and weapons, has sent him to heaven, who would complain that their safe inventory is too little?

Basil opened his mouth and looked at the smiling man in the sky, and the anger in his heart inexplicably disappeared.

Forget it, forget it. I can’t afford to offend him. It’s just a beating. It’s good to exercise my endurance.

“Kuro, you’re here again. Can’t you collect it? The soup I just drank has changed because of your rain!”

Leda ran out with a bowl of soup and shouted in exasperation.

“Ah… sorry.”

Kuro flew back to the ship from the sky and glanced at Leda. He suddenly thought of something and said, “Wait, Leda, if I remember correctly, you have been eating these days.”

“Of course I have to eat it after exhausting my physical strength.”

Leda said matter-of-factly, “No, training is very tiring. When you are tired, you have to replenish your strength.”

Kuro vaguely felt that something was wrong. He looked around and called an ensign and asked, “How much food is left now?”

The second lieutenant hesitated for a long time before saying, “Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, the food… is almost finished.”

“I remember resupply only three days ago,” Kuro said.

“Yes… but it’s gone.” The second lieutenant answered truthfully and glanced at Leda.

“How long until the next town?”

“Lieutenant Colonel, the next town is ‘Moe Island’ according to the route. It will take a day.”

“What island?”

“Moujima,” the Second Lieutenant said confidently.

“How cute?”

“No, Lieutenant Colonel, this island is called the Isle of Man according to the local pronunciation, but in the lingua franca, it is called the ‘Cute Island’. It is not cute, it is an island.”

The second lieutenant said, “But there seems to be a rumor on the island. It is said that the weapons there can turn into people.”

“Huh?”

Kuro was stunned for a moment. “Weapons turning into humans? That kind of technology is impossible.”

That technology is still in the hands of Vegapunk. He has been with the old man for a long time, so he has naturally heard of Vegapunk.

The life factor technology is only able to cooperate with inanimate objects and complete the life transformation of inanimate objects because the zoological fruit itself has life.

It is also limited to zoological Devil Fruit.

Transforming a knife into a human unless there is a large number of Human Fruit.

But Devil Fruit is actually very rare. Although there are many metahumans in the sea, compared to the total number, it can be said to be rare.

How could it be so easy to obtain a specific Human Fruit? Every Human Fruit is a treasure. It is not as simple as obtaining power.

Marshal Sengoku’s Buddha, in addition to his strength, allowed him to obtain a Buddha-like spirit and reach the perfect unity of heart and body.

The human form of the pet on Straw Hat’s ship gave it high intelligence and learning ability.

The fruits in the human form are at least as rare as the ancient species of ordinary animals.

How could there be so many?

Nonsense.

“Anyway, replenish your supplies when you get there. And Leda, you are only allowed to eat one more meal before you reach Moe Island. Keep some for me.”
