Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Chapter 1157 - 1157 Captured Alive

1157 Captured Alive

Surrender?

Yonkō (Four Emperors) Red Hair Shanks wants to surrender?

This is really.. unheard of!

“Ah..”

Shanks suddenly smiled. “I’m not your opponent. Of course I surrender. What’s wrong? Are you afraid to accept it?”

“Why should I accept it?”

Kuro said, “It’s much better for you to die here than to surrender. It’s obvious that I won. Do I need you to surrender? You still want to negotiate with me in the sea? If you still have that hand, you might be able to talk to me and force me to use ten ‘Lifeless Air Kill’. If you don’t die here, won’t it show that my profound meaning is useless? No, you have to die here. I don’t accept your surrender.”

“You will accept, Kuro..”

Shanks said with a burning gaze, “And you have to promise me that you will put Beckman back so that I will surrender.”

Yoho?! historical

Kuro was amused. “No, Shanks, are you out of your mind? Do you still have the idea of losing face? You still want her back? Why?”

Shanks smiled. “Because I will let Beckman restrain my Pirates and not start a war.”

These words made Kuro’s face sink and he became silent.

“Shanks!”

Beckman, who had stabilized himself, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say that they could still fight, but his brain, which could see the situation clearly, found that they really could not fight.

This is the sea. Here, Kuro has shown his strong control and dominance over the sea and the blood-colored ribbon. They can deal with it on land, but in the sea, especially when they can’t move much, they can’t face that kind of attack.

Shanks’s surrender plan is the best solution.

This made Kuro react as well.

Red Hair only brought a few hundred people this time. Although they were destroyed here, it was nothing compared to his forces.

There must be more cadres in the core, stationed in his sphere of influence. Once Shanks and Beckman die here, the outcome will be obvious. The furious Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates will go to war with Marines for revenge.

The kind that starts a war on all fronts.

Kuro is not afraid, or the higher-ups are definitely not afraid. Without Akagami (Red Hair) and Beckman’s Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, they are not first-class, but they have to deal with the entire Yonkō (Four Emperors) force. There are bound to be casualties. Their Marines in the front line will probably suffer a lot of casualties. If Akagami (Red Hair) does not surrender, then forget it, this must be faced.

But he just surrendered..

Capturing a Yonkō (Four Emperors) alive will definitely increase Marine’s prestige more than a dead one. Coupled with his proposal, it is not a big deal to let Beckman go back and control his Pirates.

“How can I believe you? What if you don’t keep your word?” Kuro narrowed his eyes. “When Beckman pulls the whole regiment over to fight Marine, he might save you. Then I will lose money. I think it’s good for you to die here.”

“Isn’t it better to capture me alive?”

Shanks smiled and said, “In contrast, if you kill me, you will still make my pirate group act. They are angry and they have no target, they will only fight you, but Beckman can control their anger, and you just captured me. They still have a target to move, so they will not fight Marines.”

These words were indeed true. If Red Hair agreed to his conditions, even if he went back on his word, he would only add Ben Beckman.

Even if he doesn’t keep his word, it’s not impossible to gamble.

Kuro glanced back at Beckman and turned to look at Shanks, his eyes flashing with interest.

“I don’t want to die, Kuro.”

Shanks said generously and looked down at his shoulder that was missing an arm. He shrugged and smiled.

“Although I don’t have hands, it doesn’t mean that I don’t have any combat power. Kuro, if we continue to fight, Beckman and I can still hold you back.”

This was indeed true. Previously, the Lifeless Space Kill could hit Shanks because he was furious and thought that he had no ribbon at that time. Now that he had reacted, no matter how Kuro stirred, he could only ensure that he could not escape.

Without hands, he still has the ability to fight and dodge.

Not to mention that there is Beckman. Although Kuro will have fun playing with water, they will still achieve their goal.

In contrast, if Kuro agreed to Shanks’ terms, it would take about the same time for him to return to Headquarters and for them to stall him with their lives. He would achieve his goal no matter what and stall him for a while, although it would not be as long as they had planned.

But correspondingly, Kuro does not have to continue to fight, and this guy is alive and can guarantee that Beckmann will control their own forces and not go to war with Marines.

Kuro would do the multiple choice questions.

“But I still don’t want to die. My purpose of stopping you is to see Luffy win, even in prison, I want to see it. Please, just like Tenryubito, when I go to prison, can you send me some newspapers?” Shanks continued.

Kuro thought for a moment and let go of his hand. Luo Gui floated in the air and a golden ball fell from the sky. It was the Golden Powder that wrapped Luo Gui again.

“You will still die. If you die now, you will be executed in the future.”

Kuro said in a deep voice, “A person of your level will become a card for the higher-ups. Whether you use it to increase your prestige or as bait, you are very useful. Have you thought about it?”

It had long been said that he did not hate Shanks. As a pirate, he had always known the rules.

“I just want to see the sea in the future..”

Shanks bared his teeth and smiled. “As for what happened to me, that kind of thing is not important.”

Kuro looked at him for a long time and sighed. “What a good nanny..”

With that, he turned around and glared at Beckman. He shouted, “Get lost, leave it for me to treat you to a meal.”

“Shanks..”

Beckman’s face darkened. His captain had surrendered on the condition that he let him go. He did not want to accept this kind of thing. It was his shame as a crew member!

“Can I trade with him!” Beckman made a final struggle. “I will replace him. His hands are gone, but I still have everything. I am a full combat power. Shanks is just a disability. It is better to let him go back than to let me go back.”

“What are you talking about? Do you really think you’re the Vice-Emperor?”

Kuro glanced at him. “Shanks is the captain. If you want to catch him, naturally catch the big one. Also, don’t dawdle here. I am hesitating now. When I go back on my words later, you can’t leave even if you want to.”

“Go, Beckman, restrain your men.”

Shanks also said, “Tell them that now is not the time!”

Kuro chuckled and looked at Shanks. “I don’t think you’ll ever wait until then.”
