Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire - Chapter 807
I Will Bring Back The Head!
Marines belonging to the G-3 ignored these government officials and quickly boarded the ship.
Looking at the Marines boarding the ship one by one, Kuro bit his cigar and let out a big puff of smoke. He said to Crowe, “Who is left behind in G-3?”
Crowe knew that Kuro was not asking about those who did not belong to his direct faction and said, “It’s Fanny.”
“Turn on the electricity and check if she’s okay.”
“Yes!”
Crowe waved his hand and a Marine brought Den Den Mushi over and dialed the number.
Soon, the Den Den Mushi was connected and turned into a soft and weak face.
“Moximose? Is it Vice Admiral Kuro?”
“I am Crowe, Mr. Kuro is next to me…”
Crowe glanced at Kuro, who was silent with his head lowered, and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I didn’t…”
Den Den Mushi said, “Someone raided G-3. I was experimenting at that time and he acted very quickly. When I came out, I couldn’t see him. Now I am organizing people to treat him, but… G-3 Base is half destroyed.”
“How many casualties?” Kuro asked quickly.
Den Den Mushi was silent for a while. Then, Fanny said with a sobbing tone, “A lot…”
“Many is how many! Speak!!” Kuro directly roared.
“Yes! Still counting!”
As if sensing Kuro’s angry tone, Fanny quickly replied, “But I estimate that more than one-fifth of the Marines who stayed behind died…”
One-fifth!
His G-3 has a total of 5,000 troops and he took 2,000 with him. Caswell and Ian also took some with them because of the escort. There are at least 2,000 left in G-3.
Not counting the injuries, just the number of deaths alone is one-fifth, that is four to five hundred people!
“Have you seen them clearly? How many are there?!” Kuro’s tone became colder and colder.
“Yes, according to the Marine who survived, only, only one person broke in here. That person is wearing a military uniform. According to them, it seems to be…”
Fanny paused and said: “I think it’s Douglas Barrett.”
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent.
“Douglas Barrett?” Crowe pushed up his glasses and frowned. “What happened? Didn’t Headquarters deny that he is still alive?”
“Barret? More than twenty years ago?”
Crowe doesn’t know, but Kuro does. Barrett is alive, but they have a unified story and no one will know.
But… he seemed to remember that he seemed to have returned to that time period and fought with that man.
But this guy remembered him for more than 20 years?!
Kuro narrowed his eyes, turned on the Den Den Mushi on his wrist, and dialed the number.
“Maximose, this is Kizaru’s office.”
“I am Kuro!”
“Ah… Vice-Admiral!” Marine’s voice immediately became serious.
“Where is the old man?” Kuro asked coldly.
“Over at the Marshal’s office…”
“Take the phone over. I want to talk to them.”
“But the Marshal is negotiating with the Admiral…”
“Right now! Can’t you hear me?!” Kuro roared.
“Yes!”
Den Den Mushi sounded the sound of hurried footsteps, and after a while Marine’s breathless voice sounded inside.
“Marshal Sakasugi, Admiral Kizaru!”
“Huh? Why did you come in during the meeting?!” This voice belonged to Sakasugi.
“Yes, it’s Lieutenant General Kuro.”
“Kuro?” This is Kizaru’s voice.
The Den Den Mushi changed into a wretched state. “Oh, Kuro, what’s the matter?”
Kuro gritted his teeth and said word by word, “My base was destroyed! Many people died!”
Den Den Mushi fell into a rare silence.
“Give me the authorization! Douglas Barrett, you should have news!” Kuro continued.
Den Den Mushi’s voice sounded: “Kuro, the government has a request, you know, the news that Douglas Barrett is still alive must be denied. The destruction of the base is a serious provocation to our Marine, at least until the World Conference is over, I will personally…”
“I don’t care!”
Kuro’s eyes began to turn red. “I lost a group of my men, they were not killed by real guns and pirates, but by a single person who broke into my base and killed them. When the world conference is over, who will care about my face! Marshal, where will your face go!”
Den Den Mushi was silent for a while and said, “Douglas Barrett, according to the intelligence, should be with Buena Fista. They seem to be inviting other pirates to prepare for a ‘World Conference’ in the Pirate World.”
Kuro asked, “Who is investigating it now?”
“It’s Smoker. Kuro, I can authorize you to be responsible for the arrest of Buena Fista and Douglas Barrett. Whether they live or die, I will leave Marine to you for the time being, but you must do this well!”
Kuro answered more simply: “I will bring back the head!”
Snap.
He hung up the phone.
“Board the ship and turn on the power. Call Smoker and ask him where he is!”
… .
Headquarters, New Marin Vando.
Sakasugi and Kizaru listened to the busy signal on the Den Den Mushi and were momentarily speechless.
“How can it be fixed!”
Sakasugi clenched his fist. Burning red appeared on his glove, raising the surrounding temperature. “Damn pirates, how dare they do such a thing during the World Conference!”
If not for the World Conference, would anyone dare to raid their naval base?
And it is an important base directly under the Headquarters.
It was obvious that they didn’t think much of their Marines.
Kuro was right. Where would he put his face, and where would he put his face?
“Well…”
Kizaru shrugged and opened his mouth and said, “It’s hard to see Kuro get angry. This time it’s very intuitive and scary.”
“That’s good…”
A smile appeared at the corner of Sakasugi’s mouth. “Someone has to punish them, otherwise those pirates will be too arrogant. Big Mom wants to contact Kaido, and there is actually someone here who wants to do a pirate version of ‘World Conference’. Kuro has done a good job. It’s me who is too rigid. At this time, I really shouldn’t follow the orders of the higher-ups.”
Kizaru nodded and said, “I know Fista. On the surface, he is the promoter of the celebration, but in the dark, he is the mastermind behind the war of many countries. Is he planning something big with Douglas Barrett?”
“It is precisely because we don’t know that we are prepared to wait and see, but if something happens on Kurlo’s side… we will authorize him. Polusalino, where is your Demon Slayer Order?” Sakasugi asked.
“It has long been authorized to Kuro,” Kizaru said with a smile.
He was a person who watched his own son. He had long handed over the golden Den Den Mushi to him.
“But in that case, during the World Conference… there will probably be some criticism,” Kizaru said.
“It doesn’t matter!”
Sakasugi said seriously: “Justice is the most important thing! I will explain to the higher-ups in person. Besides, the world conference is seven days. We have enough time. So much evil is not allowed on the sea. That Fista, it is a good thing to gather a large number of pirates. If we can destroy them in one fell swoop, we will deal a heavy blow to Pirate World!”
