Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 282


If You Don’t Have Some Crisis Awareness, You Will Fail

“Physical skills?”

Zephyr was stunned. He looked Kuro up and down and said:

...

“I say, you little brat, although I don’t agree with specialization, it’s impossible to develop in all aspects. Human energy is limited, even ‘monsters’ can’t do everything.”

Among the Marines that Zephyra taught, although Hernando was hailed as his successor, the real monster was not him.

Sakasugi, Polusalino, and Kuzan are the real monsters.

Body techniques, swordsmanship, and fruit abilities are all top-notch. Even so, they have their own shortcomings.

The most powerful abilities of the three generals are their fruit abilities.

In other aspects, Borusalino is better at swordsmanship.

Kuzan is better at body techniques.

Sakasugi is more versatile and his swordsmanship and physical skills are good, but he has not used a sword for a long time.

In Zephyra’s opinion, this kid, Kuro, will definitely be the enhanced version of Polusalino’s swordsmanship in the future.

He was good at reading people. Through Kuro’s previous attack on Hernando, he roughly understood Kuro’s general combat power.

His swordsmanship is absolutely top-notch.

As for the ability of the fruit, although the time it took to kill Shiki was very short, from his use, it was not inferior to the golden-haired lion.

The only shortcoming is body techniques.

But this so-called shortcoming of body technique is already quite good from Zephyr’s point of view.

Little Crane said that he had not systematically learned the ‘Six Styles’, but looking at the posture and aura, the Six Styles have clearly been integrated into it. He should have seen whose Six Styles and pushed it out himself.

This talent is enough to make people marvel.

In terms of the degree of dominance of body techniques, it should be the “external release” of hardening, entanglement, externalization, and internal destruction, which is the elementary application of “Sakura”.

However, swordsmanship and body techniques are actually the same. It is enough. It is impossible for human energy to take care of three things at the same time. It is also impossible to not be a human. It is not like there are no domineering animals on the Grand Line.

And Kuro is so young. In the future, his strength will continue to rise. The Haki control technique of Body Art will sooner or later reach ‘Internal Destruction’.

Moreover, his Haki content… is not low.

This is a monster that has surpassed the Admiral Substitute and is only a distance away from the Admiral.

And this monster is only 24 years old this year…

In all the years he has lived, the only person so far who can be compared to Kuro in his youth may be Charlotte Ling Ling in her youth.

After all, that was an existence that could kill a giant at the age of five.

Body techniques, sword techniques, and fruit abilities. When the time comes, he will become the top batch, which is the talent of a general!

Zephyra pursed her lips and sighed in her heart. Polusalino has a good subordinate. When that monkey retires, this Kuro can take over.

Shaking his head and throwing his thoughts away, Zephyra continued, “Now, just focus on your swordsmanship. With your strength, you can surpass Mihawk in the future. At that time, the world’s number one swordsman will appear in our Marine.”

The cultivation system in the Marine is just swordsmanship and body techniques. The fruit ability is purely developed by oneself and no one can teach it.

In terms of body techniques, with the huge foundation of the Marine and World Government, they created the peak of the body technique, ‘Six Forms’.

But in terms of swordsmanship, there are too many swordsmanship freaks on the sea. It is purely based on talent. In this aspect, Marines can’t fight against the whole world.

And now, out of all the people who are qualified to surpass Mihawk, only this little Kuro can do it.

Listening to Zephyra, Kuro pursed his lips.

The number one swordsman in the world?

“A general?”

If you weren’t a former Admiral and the teacher of all the Marine monsters, I would have attacked you long ago.

Kuro shook his head frantically and pinched his thumb and index finger. “Mr. Zephyr, you flatter me. My swordsmanship is passed down from my family. It’s just a little achievement.”

“Moreover, it’s not a matter of whether he has any achievements in swordsmanship. It’s just that he’s very special and his whole body can be filled with that kind of airflow or lightning. Unfortunately, the physique of that person at that time was different from mine. I couldn’t see how he did it.”

Kuro tried to describe it as tactfully as possible.

He can’t say, old man, I went to the New World and fought with Kaido. I envy Kaido’s high-level Armament Haki defense. You better teach me so that I won’t be killed.

Kuro had roamed the sea for so many years. He envied two people.

His grandfather was not counted. He was envious of the fruit of others, not himself.

One of them is Kaido, an unkillable monster, full of high-level Armament Haki.

One of them was Charlotte Lingling, from Maverick to Big. She wasn’t called ‘Steel Balloon’ for nothing.

As for the redhead…

The Mountain Bandit King can kill 56 of them, what is there to be envious of?

‘Whitebeard?’

Dead!

“Filled with air currents or lightning?” Zephyra was stunned.

What he said, Zephyr understood, was the unified use of Armament Haki.

Hardening, entanglement, externality, and internal destruction are all concentrated and used. It is the highest level of Armament Haki application. This is something that Kuro knows. Zephyr can see it, but what he knows is swordsmanship.

Now, is he dissatisfied with his body technique?

“Oh? So unsatisfied with the status quo, what are you worried about, Luciru Kuro.” Zephyr laughed.

This brat is already strong enough.

“There are many things to worry about.”

Kuro said matter-of-factly, “Mr. Zephyr, look, I just got the fruit and my ability is not good. Compared with others’ attainments, the gap is too big.

“My swordsmanship is not good enough to defeat Shichibukai, and my body technique is even worse. I may be seriously injured if someone touches me. The sea is so dangerous, of course I have to worry.” Kuro said matter-of-factly.

Zephyra was speechless.

What you said seems to make sense, but why does it sound wrong?

If you are not good at it, then are the strong people on the sea really strong?

If Kuro knew, he would definitely say that it was really strong.

After all, some strong people are superhumans, and who knows what kind of things can come out of their abilities.

Kuro sincerely felt that he could not do it.

He is a very good person in Relativism. To compare, he must be the safest person in the sea.

The Three Generals are very safe, but in terms of ability, Kuro can’t keep up.

Mihawk is the safest in swordsmanship. He is Shichibukai, so Kuro can’t beat Shichibukai.

In terms of physical skills, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling were the safest, and he was even more incomparable.

Besides, it would be safe to surpass them?

Wasn’t this old man in front of him very strong back then? Didn’t he still fail?

The lesson is here.

If he was satisfied with the current situation, he would not be able to live if some strange ability user got him.

He can’t also break a hand and then go to Marien Van Do to give his cloak to a young Marine and tell him that he is waiting for him in East Blue, right?

If you don’t have any crisis awareness, sooner or later you will fail.

The person in front of him could not be missed.

“Mr. Zephyr, about body techniques…”

Kuro stood up, moved his hands and feet, and said in a trembling voice, “Please enlighten me!”

This brat is serious?

Zephyra looked at him and the smile on her lips widened. “Someone like you is still willing to look for an old guy like me to teach you? How rare.”

The reason why Zephyra doesn’t teach now is that after he lost an arm, coupled with his old age and illness, his strength has declined and he can’t lead new recruits.

He also did not want to suffer the same pain as seven years ago.

But teaching someone who is a monster in the first place is not something to worry about.

“That’s good. If an old guy like me is useful, you can try it. Just looking at it, you can’t find some drawbacks.”

Zephyra stood up and stretched his limbs. He raised his robotic arm and smiled. “Do you mind if I use some props?”
