Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire - Chapter 1159

1159 I Also Represent ‘Future’
New World, Headquarters.

Footsteps sounded crazily in the corridor of the Headquarters building, and a large number of Marines rushed to the port.

“Faster, faster, don’t delay!”

The Vice-Admiral in charge of leadership shouted for a large number of Marine soldiers to board the ship and quickly sail in one direction.

In the highest office, Sakasugi still had fragments of Den Den Mushi’s microphone in his hand.

In his excitement just now, he directly crushed the microphone.

In the seat in front of him, Crane shook his head with an expressionless face and said, “I don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse…”

Kuro grabbed Red Hair!

He annihilated Akagami (Red Hair’s ship) that came to stop him and caught him in passing, or it could be said that he surrendered himself and let Ben Beckman go at the price of this, but that doesn’t matter. For them Marines, it is Kuro who caught Akagami (Red Hair).

After excitedly crushing the microphone, Sakasugi reacted in an instant. Only then did a large number of Marines move out, all to receive Kuro who was returning.

They have to receive Akagami (Red Hair) and prepare at the front line to prevent Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates from counterattacking.

As for what that guy said about not letting his pirate group attack Marines, Sakasugi is not the kind of person who would hand over the right to choose to the enemy. He should be prepared.

Besides, he never believed in pirates.

“Of course it’s Fu!”

Sakasugi said in a deep voice: “The capture of the red-haired guy represents another victory for our Marine!”

“But you know the essence of that guy.”

Crane said meaningfully: “Among pirates, his priority is very low.”

“They are still pirates!”

Sakasugi snorted. “As long as it’s a pirate, it should be completely destroyed! He blocked Kuro’s way because of the essence of that guy, so he thought he could do whatever he wanted. Kuro did the right thing. He used his actions to show that as long as it’s a pirate, there’s nothing that can’t be caught!”

Crane was silent for a moment before saying, “What has happened has already happened, so this is the only way. But I have to remind you, Sakasugi, the last time we went to war with Whitebeard, we have already lost face once. We can’t lose it again this time. You have to be prepared for the pressure from above.”

“I know how to do it, Granny Crane.” Sakasugi’s voice was extremely low.

Although Whitebeard and Ace’s death represented victory in the War Of The Best, after the overall live broadcast was released, Marine did not gain any face. Instead, they were overwhelmed by Whitebeard’s words that “One Piece is real” before his death. Coupled with Red Hair’s appearance at that time, Marine failed to achieve the effect they expected in front of the world. At that time, if Kuro had not cut Shanks and let Blackbeard sink into the sea, they would not have had any effect.

Marine won, but because of the positive effect brought by this, the effect is actually similar to that of Whitebeard’s last words.

In addition to the Impel Down incident, their Marine actually did not win. Among the forces that participated in this incident and intelligence, their Marine lost face completely.

There were also problems with the higher-ups. They did not announce the Impel Down incident.

Capturing Akagami (Red Hair) this time, based on the cooperation between the higher-ups and Akagami (Red Hair), it is very likely that they will repeat the same mistake. What Sakasugi wants to guarantee is that they will not cause any more trouble.

If this continues, Marine’s prestige will be gone!

Mary Joa.

Sakasugi was not the only one who received the news. When he received the news and asked Marines to pick up Kuro, Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) also received the news from Headquarters.

Of course, this could not be hidden.

“This is his own way of dealing with it?”

Between the powers, the curly-haired old man frowned and said, “The impact is too great.”

The long-bearded old man said, “Indeed, I didn’t expect him to catch the red hair.”

“What should we do? It’s not so easy to release it in his hands. Should we receive it in advance? Send Red Hair back.” The red-skinned old man asked.

“It’s not that easy.” The map old man shook his head and said, “Kuro actually did a good job, in line with Marine’s style of doing things and did not kill Akagami (Red Hair). He is very clear about the connection between Akagami (Red Hair) and us. If we let him go, that kid will have an opinion and Marine as a whole will have an opinion about us.”

The curly-haired old man sighed. “If I don’t let go, the balance will be completely broken. Why does it have to be the red hair…”

“Because he’s in the way.”

The old man with the map glanced at them and said, “Kuro was sent by us. He knows about it, but he still wants to stand in front of it. He can’t let it go. He thinks highly of Garp’s grandson.”

“That is still the son of that sinful man Dorag!”

The old man with the knife snorted and said, “The people of D Clan will never be satisfied!”

He continued, “Pirates are still pirates. The only good thing is that Red Hair surrendered and died there. There is still room for redemption.”

“Then let’s throw him into Impel Down and use him as a bargaining chip to suppress the movements of the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates. At least for now, we can’t make any big moves. We have to wait for the Country of Peace to finish.” The long-bearded old man said.

“Then let Sakasugi do it himself. Didn’t he send someone to pick him up? It’s good to let him into Impel Down. If we have anything, we can bring him out for interrogation,” said the red-skinned old man.

“Agreed.”

The other four nodded.

… .

“Tsk, you, why did you come to block my way for no reason? Since you trust Straw Hat, you should wait and see.”

In the office of the Golden Lion, Kuro opened a bottle of wine and was about to hand it over, but he thought of something and let go of the bottle, letting the bottle float to the mouth of the chained and lute-boned Shanks in front of him.

Beside Shanks, Crowe and Leda looked at him warily.

Of course, this guy could not be detained by others, so Kuro simply brought him to his office and let him watch him personally.

“Thanks.”

Shanks opened his mouth and took two sips from the bottle before letting go. Then, he looked at the overall office layout and smiled. “You are really extravagant. This layout is very expensive.”

Kuro leaned back in his chair and bit his cigar. “Unlike you, I don’t get what I work for.”

Shanks shrugged and looked at Kuro, answering his previous question. “I told you before that you are a variable. If I drag you for a day, Luffy’s chances of winning will be higher. If you don’t intervene, I think he will win. Look, you still have to bet on me, and you will still be held back.”

“Good plan, but I don’t think two or three days of delay can make you win in the future.”

Kuro smiled, straightened his body, put his hand on the table, and said slowly:

“Red Hair, you are old, but I am not. I am the youngest Admiral in Marine history.”

I do want to retire.

But I’m a general now!
