General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 66 Kuzan
Ten days later, Qianyan Island.

In the base office of Branch 177, Kuzan bowed his head at the table, reviewing a series of documents from the Prince Kingdom incident.

His hair was as messy as dried grass on the beach.

His face was full of tiredness and he was yawning constantly.

Kuzan has not done such troublesome clerical work personally for many years.

And on a busy day like today, he has been busy for nearly a week.

There is no way, who made him the highest officer of the entire Beihai Navy now?

Although the coup in the Prince Kingdom is over.

But the mess left behind was too involved.

It not only involves dozens of large and small pirate groups, but also involves some neutral maritime trade forces, as well as the comfort of tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster.

What’s more, Prince Elijah’s previous dispatch of pirates to massacre villages in surrounding countries was also exposed.

This caused a sensation and outrage in neighboring countries.

Reports and condemnations against the Prince family flew to the World Government like snowflakes.

As for the Prince Kingdom itself, because there is no king in charge, the whole country is now leaderless, and the people are panicking amid this catastrophe.

If we want to quickly dilute the negative impact of the incident, we must restore order in this franchised country as soon as possible.

Therefore, these days, the World Government has been urging Branch 177 to let Prince Grus, the orthodox heir to the throne, inherit the throne quickly, so as to stabilize the people's hearts.

But this is what troubles Kuzan the most.

The prince who just woke up from a serious injury and a coma a few days ago, Prince Grus, doesn't want to be the king of Prince Kingdom at all!

The orthodox heir of the franchise country has given up his job!

Instead of quitting, Gruss begged to join the Navy.

Thinking of this, Kuzan's head started to hurt again.

He stopped what he was doing, pinched his brows, and sighed.

He still remembered how badly he was scolded when he reported Grus's request to the Warring States Marshal two days ago.

Warring States' original words were: "Don't be ridiculous Kuzan! Grus is the heir to the throne designated by Prince VII. If he is not the king, then the only one left who is qualified to be the king is Prince Ilya! Could it be that Do you want that criminal who killed tens of thousands of people to return to the top of power and lead that country into hell again?"

After that, there were scoldings such as, 'Don't go back to headquarters if you can't complete the task', 'A great general can't do such a trivial thing well, he is really useless' and so on.

When he thought of Prince Elijah, Kuzan felt an indescribable depression and anger in his heart.

That seemingly gentle and aristocratic young man, for a so-called answer, led a country into bloody purgatory and killed tens of thousands of civilians.

That day he almost couldn't help but kill Ilya directly.

"What a complete scumbag. If Sakaski were here..."

But on the other hand, Kuzan had to admit that Prince Ilya was indeed a genius with a deep scheming mind and an almost evil mind.

If he took the right path and joined the navy, he would at least be a senior staff officer in the headquarters.

With his own efforts, he dragged several major forces whose strength was far higher than his own into the situation.

The supernova pirates with a bounty of over [-] million, the long-famous King Shichibukai, the navy that upholds justice, and even the revolutionary army who specially sent precious phantom beast seeds in exchange for food.

Yes, Kuzan already knew the origin and name of the fruit Rorschach ate.

"The animal phantom fruit that Rorschach ate was the Kirin form of the horse fruit that is said to be able to control wind and thunder. It is a powerful fruit with a very high upper limit, no less powerful than Kaido's blue dragon form. It has huge potential. Coupled with his belief in justice, when he grows up, our navy will have another powerful combat force."

Whenever I think of those few words that the scarred Rorschach almost roared out that day, Kuzan's heart, which has been frozen for many years, feels like his blood is boiling again.

Once upon a time, wasn't I the Rorschach now?

When did I abandon my original passionate belief and choose the lazy justice I have now?

Was it the beginning of O'Hara's demon-slaying order?No, maybe earlier.

As that annoying Doflamingo said.

There is too much darkness and filth in this world.

How many people who are deeply involved in it can carry out their initial pursuit to the end?

Unknowingly, Kuzan held his forehead and fell into deep thought.

dong dong dong.

There was a sudden knock on the office door, awakening Kuzan from his deep thoughts.

He took a breath, rubbed his face vigorously, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Come in."

Second Lieutenant Richard of Branch 177 opened the door, gave a straight military salute, and then loudly said: "Report to General Qingji that Lieutenant Luo Xia's warship is back!"

"Have you finally come back? That boy..." Kuzan shook his head slightly.

"Do you want me to inform Second Lieutenant Rorschach to come see you?" Richard asked.

"No, I'll go over and take a look myself. You can help me watch here. If there's a phone bug, just answer it."

Kuzan waved his hand, stood up under Richard's surprised eyes, and left the office.

"As expected of Rorschach, he is so valued by the general. But... that man can achieve that level, and he is indeed worthy of the general's attention, right? I am really lucky to be a fellow from Beihai and born in the same era as this man. ah."

Richard couldn't help but be shocked when he thought of the scenes he saw when they rushed to King Prince's City that day.

Especially when they saw the horrific injuries suffered by Rorschach and the others, no one in Branch 177 was jealous of Rorschach's talent anymore.

Instead, there is recognition, respect, and awe.

seaside port.

A warship with a broken mast and many gaps slowly approached.

Immediately, a group of soldiers and waiting military officers ran forward to receive them.

"Report to Lieutenant Bill that Lieutenant Rorschach is back."

A soldier hurried over, and thin beads of sweat could be seen faintly on his forehead.

His complexion was not very good-looking.

"I know, let's call some soldiers over. This time the workload will be huge and we need manpower."

Bill nodded, as if he had expected and prepared for it.

Nonetheless.

But when Bill boarded the deck of the dilapidated warship again and saw the scene on the deck, he couldn't help but take a breath, and his face became a little pale like the previous branch recruit.

What was piled on the deck of the warship was not Bailey's food, nor captured guns and ammunition, nor the refugees brought back for resettlement.

But human heads.

Mountains of heads.

Heads with expressions of fear, despair, and blood dripping from their faces almost filled the huge deck of the warship.

There was a thick layer of coagulated plasma on the deck, like splashed black and red paint.

The strong smell of blood even attracted scavenging vultures to circle in the sky.

In such a hellish scene, Bill saw a silver-haired boy wearing a blue and white military uniform, sitting on a hill with hundreds of heads piled on him with an indifferent expression.

Suddenly, a sigh sounded from behind.

"Ah la la, Rorschach, if you continue like this, you will become another Sakaski."
