Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire-Chapter 6
You Are Really Hidden
Kuro held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled it out.
“Forget it, I won’t delay it. Someone like you will be a threat sooner or later. I will deal with you here.”
He would kill her while she was not famous.
The military knife is an ordinary standard military knife, not a famous knife, but when Kuro touched it with two fingers, the girl obviously quivered.
Light gradually appeared on the blade.
That light made her hair stand on end.
As someone who has been on the Grand Line, she is not comparable to the ignorant Marine pirates of East Blue.
The girl wanted to leave, but she could not move at all now. The blade light seemed to have locked her down. No matter where she ran, she would be hit in the end.
He will die!
That killing intent was real!
This man really wants to kill me!
“Unseen Wind…”
“I surrender!”
“?”
Kuro wiped the blade and tilted his head to look at the girl. He saw her body change and her body slowly shrank, becoming a white-haired loli of seven or eight years old.
“I surrender, do whatever you want.”
The girl collapsed on the ground and touched her stomach. “Damn it, I used too much strength just now and I’m hungry again.”
“He surrendered just like that?”
Kuro thought about it and gave up on killing her. He was indeed not interested in killing a little girl.
“Tell me who you are and what your purpose is in coming to East Blue.”
“My name is Flo Lida, from the Grand Line. I can touch the other party and absorb their essence.”
Flo Lida sat up and stared fiercely at Kuro. “Who are you? With such strength, why are you still a branch head of East Blue? Is Marine blind to not see a monster like you?”
The two of them looked at each other and were silent for a while before saying in unison, “Of course it’s for safety!”
“Yes?”
Kuro froze and looked at Flo Leda. In her eyes, he saw a trace of shock and a little surprise.
Kuro sheathed his sword and sat opposite her. The two of them looked at each other for a moment and said in unison, “You go first.”
“There are too many Grand Line monsters, I am not strong enough, I don’t want to go there (I ran out of there).”
“…”
“!”
You know me!
A confidant!
Kuro said excitedly, “I don’t want to go to the Grand Line at all. With my strength, it’s not enough for me to go there. What Yonkō (Four Emperors) GM Army? It will be troublesome if I meet some strong people and they fight. The injury is light, but I might be killed.”
Flo Lida nodded hard. “There are too many monsters on the Grand Line. I’m scared all day long, but I can’t eat my fill, so I can only come to East Blue. This place is weak and easy to deceive. I like it here!”
“Not enough to eat?” Kuro glanced at her and suddenly realized, “The drawback of the ability?”
Leda said sadly, “I’m a ‘Essence Energy Man’ who ate the ‘Essence Energy Fruit’. The drawback of this ability is that I can’t eat enough. Since I ate this fruit at the age of eight, I haven’t eaten enough for ten years. There are too many monsters on the Grand Line, and I don’t dare to be too blatant, so I came to East Blue.”
Flo Lida, 18 years old, born on the Grand Line and an Energy Fruit user.
It can absorb the essence of the person touched and use it for itself, but the drawback is that it is very difficult to eat.
And she didn’t want to be a pirate and be noticed by Marines, so she came to East Blue.
Cautious by nature, she fabricated the rumor of the ‘Treasure of Florida’ to lure greedy people to their destination, and then she would eat them and find a way to exchange the treasure for food.
“You’re a little too much. Look at these people, they’ve been starved by you.”
Kuro pointed at the unconscious townspeople.
Hearing this, Leda felt even more aggrieved. “I told them that they can keep their own food, but they are too afraid to leave more for themselves. I can’t say it openly, I am also in a hurry.”
At the mention of this, Leda felt even more aggrieved.
“I have to emit Kenbonshoku (Observation) every day. It’s hard enough, can’t they be more obedient?”
Ever since she became an Essence Energy Man, she had to spend a lot of effort to do anything. In order to preserve her strength, she had always looked like an eight-year-old girl and would only transform her Essence Energy into her original age in battle.
Not to mention that she had to turn on her Kenbonshoku (Observation) every day. That kind of consumption will only make her hungry faster.
She did not want to kill anyone. She just wanted to eat her fill. Those townspeople who wanted to escape were only detected by her and she used her ability to make them lose their strength and faint. They would be fine after a few days of rest.
She was going to leave because the island was almost emptied by her. If she continued to eat, the ecological chain of the island would really collapse. However, she sensed the arrival of someone and wanted to make another move. She did not expect to encounter such a monster.
“I said, I have surrendered. Even if you want to kill me, at least let me have a full meal!” Leda said unwillingly.
“Why do I have to kill you?”
Kuro’s eyes were full of surprise. “It’s easy to be full. You can join the Marine. ZF is so rich, you can eat whatever you want.”
“Are you kidding me? I don’t want to have anything to do with Marines or pirates. I just want to eat and don’t want to fight.”
“Follow me!”
Kuro pointed at himself. “Don’t you think we are very compatible? You want to eat your fill safely, and I want to live safely until I die. If we live together in East Blue, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”
He did not have the idea of refining copper, but two people can make a long plan. The other party is so strong and yet he is not famous, which means that his security awareness is very good.
Kuro needs such a talent!
Leda’s eyes also lit up. Yes, this man seems to be very suitable.
He has a little status in the Marine and is very strong. He doesn’t seem to be the kind of battle maniac. If I join him, I should be able to eat and sleep every day. Those days…
Leda drooled longingly.
“You only have one chance. Otherwise, I will capture you and inform you that you are an ability user. When someone comes over, they will throw you into ‘Impelton’. You know that place, right? It is too difficult for you to eat your fill there.” Kuro threatened.
“Don’t say it, I promise, but you have to promise to let me eat 80%… No, 60% full!”
If he joined him, he would not have to drive Kenbonshoku (Observation) every day in fear and change places every once in a while.
Haki consumes a lot of energy to begin with. If not for this, she would not have eaten an entire island in a short time.
“I will definitely let you eat your fill!” Kuro promised.
Then he regretted it…
It was easy to deal with the aftermath of Flo Lida. After the townspeople woke up, Kuro directly told them that the monster was punished by the heavens and was struck by lightning. The ruins were evidence.
In any case, the Marines will not investigate people who are not famous.
As for Leda herself, she was taken hostage by Devil Florida. Now that she was rescued, Kuro decided to adopt her.
Half of the food and some treasures were left for the residents of the island of Garmoro, which ensured that after they survived here, Marines continued to set out under the grateful send-off of the townspeople.
He left half a month’s worth of food for the townspeople, and he still has half a month’s worth of food left. It will only take two or three days for him to return to the 153rd Division. Even if a big eater comes, how big is his appetite?
Originally, that was what Kuro thought.
“Lida! Half a month, a full half month of food, you finished it in one meal?!”
In the office, Kuro roared at the white-haired loli beside him.
Leda was still holding a carrot in her hand. As she chewed, she said:
“I can’t help it. I’m too hungry. I’ve been hungry for the past few months with Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki on, and I’ve never been full. Besides, isn’t it very fast to go back? I still have food, so don’t care.”
“How can I not care? How can that bit of food be enough? What if we encounter a storm, what if we encounter a Sea King, what if we encounter some idle Shichibukai in the East China Sea!”
Kuro bared his fangs and brandished his claws, almost going crazy. “When the time comes, we will drift pitifully on the sea and be swallowed by a big wave. My dream will end here. What a joke!”
Leda looked at Kuro speechlessly. She finally understood why this man was only a Cao.
He was already cautious enough, but he did not expect him to be more cautious than him.
Ability users may not be human, but you are really a coward.
