Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 608

Twenty-Six Years Like A Dream

“But…”

Ian, of course, wanted to fight pirates.

She used to be a Marine and was used to being a Marine. Even if she established the NEO Marine, she just followed Teacher Zephyr and re-established a Marine.

She knew Zephyr’s thoughts, but because she respected Zephyr too much, she could only do this.

However, she has always been worried about what Teacher Zephyr wants to do. In her heart, she does not agree.

Now that Teacher Zephyr has been stopped and there are no casualties, Ian is relieved.

Just the offer to rejoin Marine …

If it were any other Marine, perhaps she would have rejected it. In fact, she had just done so.

But coupled with Kuzan’s persuasion and the fact that this man was Kuro, this made her rationality override her sadness.

Kuro had done her a favor.

He saved me back then…

“Ah, then don’t think about it.”

Kuzan looked at Ian’s expression. “That’s it. I agree for you.”

“Well, sure, then that’s it. I’ll go back and talk to the higher-ups. When you re-enter the force, ask the soldiers of the NEO Marine Corps. I won’t refuse anyone who wants to be a Marine. All of you follow me to G-3.”

Kuro waved his hand. “Okay, it’s settled. We’ll rest for a day and then go back.”

With that, he looked at the white sky and waved. “Chloe!”

Whoosh!

Crowe ran over with a razor and said, “Yes, Mr. Kuro.”

“Go, get me some wine and food. As for wine, you can add an extra bottle of Shirley wine and a little paper, the kind that can be burned,” said Kuro.

“Uh, Mr. Kuro, are you hungry?” Crowe asked.

“If I tell you to go, go. Why are you talking so much?”

Kuro glanced at the prosthetic arm he grabbed and said, “Then take Ian and Bintz to rest. Don’t wait for me, I have something to do.”

“Yes, I know, Mr. Kuro.” Crowe pushed up his glasses and walked to Ian and Bintz. “I’ll take you to rest.”

“I…”

“Yes?”

Ioan still wanted to say something, but Kuro glanced over. She pursed her lips and finally sighed. She stood up and followed Crowe with Bintz.

“I’m leaving too.”

Kuzan picked up the robotic arm. “I’ll take this with me.”

“Hey…”

Kuro called out to Kuzan, making him pause.

“Don’t die, Kuzan.”

“Ah, are you worried about me? Don’t worry, it’s hard for me to die.”

Kurzan turned his back to Kuro and waved his hand. “Next time we meet, let’s drink together.”

With that, he held the robotic arm and gradually left.

Kuro watched him leave, smacked his lips, and said, “Humph, ability user…”

The thing he was carrying had Seastone, but looking at how he handled it with ease, it was obvious that Seastone of this level did not affect him much. Even if he could not use his ability, he was still a strong person.

Soon Crowe returned with wine and food and a stack of paper.

Paper.

Kuro took it and shook the paper. “There is no yellow paper… Forget it, it’s okay. After all, there is no such tradition in this world.”

With that, his body floated up into the sky and disappeared from Crowe’s vision.

Kuro penetrated the clouds and went straight up to the most distant sky, where a floating continent lay.

As Kuro rose, a hole opened under the continent, allowing Kuro to fly up and land on the continent.

The surroundings of the continent seemed very desolate, but there was only a place in the middle with a green stream.

This is the continent that Kuro previously pieced together. Although he wasted a lot in the last battle with Charlotte Lingling, after the battle, he picked up the Lion’s Head that he used to fight with Kaido and filled it back. In addition, he has been supplementing it during this period of time, and this continent is much larger than before.

And the center of the continent would not move.

There was also a little ‘pure gold’ at the core, plus…

Kuro walked to the center and glanced at it. On the ground, there were two objects.

One was two swords, crossed and standing there. On the other side was a black bat umbrella.

This represents two masters.

Golden Lion, Shiki.

Red Earl, Ledfield.

These two people had a great influence on Kuro. He had learned a lot from them and although they were enemies, he still admired them.

As for people like Hero Luo…

That’s not worthy.

Bundy Walde, he did not learn anything, so he naturally had no right to ask him to burn paper here.

Yes, he was here to burn paper.

“If you want to come… After so long, this is the first time I have burned it for you. Qingming is almost here, let me pay tribute to you.” Kuro murmured.

There is no clarity in this world.

It was all Kuro’s doing.

“It’s my first time burning joss paper for you. Although I say it every year, I won’t forget it this time.”

Kuro put down the prosthetic limb and was about to place it between the two objects, but at this moment, he suddenly froze and shook his head, putting the prosthetic limb opposite the two objects.

“Marine and Pirate, it’s better not to be together. They are two different things.”

He inserted his prosthetic limb into the ground and sat cross-legged between the two objects. He picked up a glass for himself and poured the wine.

“I don’t know if this wine is cheap, but you big pirates can drink any wine. Anyway, what you drink is the atmosphere.”

He placed the wine glass in front of the two graves, then took out the sherry and poured another glass and placed it in front of the prosthetic limb alone.

“As for you, old man, I know the same as Kuzan, I can only eat this. Although I just killed you, the memorial is just a ceremony, don’t think too much. Well, you can’t hear it.”

He placed the bottle of Shirley wine in front of his prosthetic arm and placed food in front of the three tombs.

After doing all this, he lit the cigar and inserted it into the food in front of the three graves, all three of them.

Afterwards, he lit it for himself, bit the cigar and blew out the smoke.

“It’s been 206 years…”

Kuro looked at the almost transparent sky in the sky and said, “It has been 26 years. I have only a little memory of my former home. I am more like a native character. I have to say that I have been in this world for a long time and I have gotten used to it. When in Rome, do as the Romans do…”

“Fortunately, I still remember the date. Otherwise, Qingming wouldn’t have been able to burn it. Although it hasn’t arrived yet, our customs are that Qingming can burn paper before and after.”

“This time, I will pay my respects to you first. When the specific day comes, I will return to East Blue to pay my respects to my parents.”

Kuro was silent for a moment and smiled. “Things are really unpredictable. Zephyra, I didn’t expect that I would burn paper for pirates… However, it’s also quite heroic, especially you, Shiki. If you had met me earlier, I might have been conquered by your heroism and followed you for more than twenty years. When you die, you might really inherit the position of the Admiral of the Flying Pirates.”
