Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

It’s the same all year round, 10 years of wielding the sword

Sam William’s real name is correct because the World Government went to the town of Shields and asked directly.

Someone will naturally remember a hometown there.

His real name is Sam William, and as it happens… he lives across the street from Kuro.

When he heard this news, Kuro thought about it and did not remember Sam William.

He remembered that the people opposite the door were a pair of old gentlemen, but he didn’t remember them having children.

Of course, the photo was obtained, but there was nothing deductive about it because it was a picture of Sam William before he was seven years old. According to the gentleman couple, their child had not been photographed since he was seven years old.

Yes, Sam William’s parents were still alive.

Those who are slightly dirty can threaten him with their parents, but Kuro can’t do this.

Whether it is Marine or Pirate, they are all personal actions, bringing disaster to family…

Only the dirtiest can do it.

But from what Mr. and Mrs. Sam know about their children, a side-characterization can also be made.

“William is actually very well-behaved. Although he said that he wanted to be a big pirate or something when he was young, after he was seven years old, he became well-behaved and never mentioned that he wanted to be a big pirate. His routine is also very standard.”

“This child practiced swordsmanship during the day. In the past, he used a wooden stick. Later, he couldn’t be persuaded. We bought him a Western sword. We originally wanted to motivate him, but it was for adults. Who knew that he actually gritted his teeth and used the Western sword.”

“Every morning he gets up at 8 a.m. sharp, cleans his white scarf, and then he starts to wave it with his sword until 10 p.m., whether it’s windy or rainy. He goes to bed at 11 a.m. sharp, he must drink a glass of milk before going to bed, and then he plays for an hour. But his ‘play’ is a little strange, he seems to practice martial arts there, then he goes to bed and continues the next day after he gets up. Sometimes, even if he is sick, he still practices like this, as if something is pressing on him. I don’t know why.”

The information he got from the Sam couple made Kuro smack his lips. “Why does it sound so familiar…”

“You! You’re like this!” Leda couldn’t help but shout, “What’s wrong with your Shields Town? What is this? Is it the same way as you?”

“Impossible. If I didn’t have my own… In short, my method is very difficult to replicate.” Kuro shook his head.

He was born with a cheat.

He was born with the four great profound meanings of the Anomaly. Without this ability, he would not dare to go to the sea to cultivate. Moreover, many of his moves were developed based on this cheat.

Even if an ordinary person imitated his method, he would not be able to master it.

… .

“Speaking of which, William, I’ve always been curious why you’re so strong and have such a strong sense of crisis.”

On the main ship of East Blue’s Pirate Fleet, Swire couldn’t help but ask curiously as he looked at William who was waving on the deck.

He had seen William do this more than once. When he was busy, he also had to spend his free time practicing. If he was not busy, he would disappear and find something on the island or nearby to train himself. More often than not, the three of them were sparring partners.

But it was the sparring partners that made them deeply understand William’s strength.

Even if he doesn’t use that helpless Logia, they are not this man’s opponent in terms of swordsmanship and dominance.

Although he doesn’t usually fight, his own strength is terrifying.

When William heard Swire’s words, he didn’t stop waving the western sword in his hand. Instead, he waved it and said, “It’s not like that. I’m just… used to it. It’s also for future preparations.”

As he spoke, his gaze became distant as he thought of the past.

This was not a habit he had since he was young, but it was forced out when he was seven years old.

Because his house is opposite Kuro’s house, from the room he lives in, he can see Kuro’s house through the window and can see what Kuro is doing every day.

Although Kuro said that official cultivation would take a few years, he was not completely unprepared. At a very young age, he had been waving his knife there. William thought that this might be Kuro’s powerful secret book, so he followed Kuro’s example and learned Kuro’s knife and Kuro’s routine, gradually giving him this habit.

This was not without effect. Simple exercise could also have an effect. At that time, William, who was seven years old, found it difficult to hold the Western sword used by adults at the beginning. By the time he was twelve years old, he could easily swing the Western sword.

At that time, Kuro had already begun to go out to sea to cultivate for a while, and William also followed suit at that time.

He was not ready to go to sea, but he could still go to the surrounding areas of Shields Town.

Humans, no matter which world, will persist in doing something for a few years and it will definitely be effective.

With just the training of a western sword, William gradually ground himself into something—Slash.

Under the intense pressure, he continued to move forward. Even if he had to learn how to be destined to be an enemy, he had to cultivate whether he was sick or not. He did not need to use any sword moves. He just needed to swing his sword. Without physical strength, it would be more serious. There were not many wild beasts on the island where Shields Town was located, so he would fight nature.

From cutting down a big tree to making a smooth cut on the tree, from cutting down a stone to making the stone into a smooth cut, cutting iron, cutting water, cutting a waterfall, cutting spring rain, summer thunder, autumn wind, and winter snow.

It is the same all year round, and the sword swings are the same for ten years.

When he came back to his senses, William could not only swing his sword but also cut anything easily. It was unbelievably smooth, as if he could easily grasp the weakness of all things.

Later, he learned that it was the Breath of All Things.

William was twenty-one that year, the same year, and officially went to sea.

He stopped swinging his sword and looked at his hand in a daze. He muttered, “In the past, I was forced to do that for my dream. Otherwise, I would have no chance to surpass him. But later, I gradually got used to this kind of life. There is nothing wrong with this kind of life. I can feel that I am improving every day. This can be seen. It is not that kind of unrealistic ideal.”

“I hate people who have nothing and have a big goal. Their goal is not to say it, but to do it. They should be buried in their hearts and climb up step by step. When they reach that step, it is better to say it.”

William wanted to be a big pirate, the kind the whole world knew about.

But in the East China Sea with Kuro, he couldn’t even be a pirate with a bounty.

Although there is a chance now, he still feels that it is not enough. He needs to prepare more, more, more, so much that he can meet all the challenges in the East China Sea. Only then will he have a bounty in the East China Sea and use the East China Sea as a springboard to directly enter the Grand Line and start his journey of fame.

“Boss, there is an island in front, I found a lot of strange animals!”

Above the mast, a pirate poked his head out and shouted.

“Animals?”

William frowned. “Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Let’s go to that island and rest for a while, see if there are any supplies, and then continue.”
