hority in today's world governments...the Five Old Stars!"Admiral Sengoku, pay your respects to the Five Elders."The steel-boned figure moved forward with steady steps, unyielding and composed.He glan...The Sea Round Calendar is 1492. (About 30 years before the War at the Top)

The Bohai Sea.

The sun was shining brightly, and a refreshing sea breeze rippled the surface of the sea.

A warship flying a snowy seagull flag was sailing steadily on the surface of the sea, its towering masts hoisting massive sails emblazoned with the word "Justice" in black.

"Gion... My Gion, I like you, please accept my love!"

On the deck of a battleship.

A rather disheveled naval lieutenant performed a flamboyant slide, landing dramatically on one knee with both hands clutching a vibrant bouquet of roses. His eyes gazed longingly at the beauty before him.

Before him stood a tall girl with long, black wavy hair.

She was clad in a lieutenant colonel's righteous cape, wearing a pink sleeveless top and hot pants that revealed her fair, round, long legs.

"Captain Jia is too brave!"

"Go, Lieutenant Jiā!

Accompanied by the added public display of affection, other sailors on deck were also excitedly cheering.

Some people were scattering confetti, some were blowing horns, and some were setting off firecrackers...

Even someone held up a banner that read "Colonel Jiaji's 38th Confession."

As if invigorated by the cheers and enthusiasm of his subordinates behind him, a surge of unparalleled confidence filled Li Jian's heart.

As he raised the rose, he also swaggered and tossed his greasy hair, striking a pose that he thought was irresistibly handsome.

"Gion, accept my love! There is no man in this world more excellent than I!"

Gion: ...

Her lips twitched slightly, her voice soft and low:

"Besides, you're a good person, but we're not compatible."

The deck suddenly became remarkably quiet.

The sound of trumpets, cheers, and cannon fire all came to a sudden halt.

A group of sailors looked at Major Ji, who was kneeling on one knee and still holding the flowers, with pity in their eyes. Suddenly, they found his back seemed so desolate and withered.

Thinking this way, their noses couldn't help but become a little sour.

“Poor Major Jia, he's had a rough time...”

'He confessed so many times already...'

'Oh...'

They unconsciously walked past, just about to open their mouth to comfort him, but the motionless Jiaji suddenly turned his head. Two lines of tears were etched on his rough face.

Did you hear that

Jiaji bit her lower lip, her eyes brimming with tears.

"That Captain Jia, we all heard…"

"Actually, you don't have to be discouraged..."

"Yes, a man..."

All the sailors comforted each other, unable to bear the sight.

"——Gion actually praised me as a good person!!"

With a sudden burst, Jiaji leaped from his spot, his eyes brimming with tears yet blazing with an intense light. His face flushed crimson with excitement:

She finally acknowledged me!! What does this mean! It means I just have to keep trying to confess, who knows maybe next time she'll agree to date me!

...All the sailors:

Is she complimenting you

You're a good person What kind of nice words are those

Their eyes twitched as they looked at each other, their expressions stiff and awkward. After a veiled exchange of glances, they all nodded with forced smiles.

"Yeah, yeah!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Yes, yes!"

"——I knew it!!"

He immediately cheered with joy, clenching his fists.

She’s testing my patience. I finally understand your good intentions, Gion!!

He turned his head and grinned.

"Actually, you don't need to test me. After all, we've known each other for so long, don't you know my feelings for you Come on, kiss me…"

He said, adding a pout to his face as he walked towards Gion.

Bang!!

The next second, he was sent flying like a bullet, crashing into the mast before slumping down like a puddle of mud.

Two lines of bright red blood gushed from his nostrils, and his body twitched intermittently.

The marines by the side seemed to have gotten used to this scene already, putting away all sorts of "support" tools and going about their duty as if nothing had happened.

The play ended, Gion rubbed her temples, and sighed helplessly.

She opened the military document in her hands once more. Inside was a file on the Navy.

Name: Rogers Darren

Age: 19

Born in Beihai, an orphan.

Position: Base Leader of Beihai 312 Branch

Rank: Rear Admiral, Marine Headquarters

Ability: Suspected to be a Devil Fruit power that allows control over metal, but the specifics are unknown.

Evaluation: An ambitious person with decisive and ruthless methods. They are forthright and influential in the Beihai region, possessing immense potential and being a suitable candidate for officer training camp selection.

Note: There are serious problems with personal lifestyle.

Below the table, there are rows and rows of achievements and merits in suppressing pirates.

In addition, the file also comes with a photo provided by the Naval Photography Department.

Gion glanced casually at the photograph, her onyx eyes flickering.

The man in the photo has black hair and black eyes. His facial features are deep, and his gaze is profound like stars, radiating a wild and unrestrained aura.

This guy is kinda handsome, almost on par with me.

At this time, Jia Ji also came over with a bruised and swollen head, shaking his head in disapproval.

"So, this fellow named Darren, is he our target for review"

Gion glanced at Kakekomi, who still had two tissue balls stuck in his nostrils. She clenched her fists, desperately trying to suppress the urge to beat this shameless rascal again. Her voice was as calm as ever:

"Yes, this guy runs North Sea like his own kingdom. He's the uncrowned king, and secret intelligence reports say he even has private dealings with underworld organizations, the Mafia, and several foreign countries in North Sea."

According to Crane Sister, Darren is a dangerous and capable person.

This time, our visit is not only to present him with the medal on behalf of headquarters, but also to carry out an inspection.

"Besides, this is my mission. What are you following me for"

She glared at the obstinate fellow in front of her.

My own mission is at stake, but this bastard insists on tagging along.

"Where you go, I go."

Adding a sly grin and a mischievous chuckle, he then mumbled nonchalantly:

>

But this fellow is only a battalion commander. Why is Crane the Chief of Staff so concerned about him

The Crane sister mentioned at the entrance of Gion, she is a major general in the Navy Headquarters and a core figure in the world's justice forces.

Wouldn't someone who could be trusted by Crane as an advisor have to be a famous pirate like Whitebeard, Golden Lion, or Roger

And this kid is just a lieutenant colonel stationed at a base in the Four Seas Sea Area, although his rank is two levels higher than mine.

But this is only because he grew up in the local area and hasn't had enough time to accumulate sufficient military merit for promotion.

If I started doing the task myself, I could easily outperform this guy.

But Gion shook its head.

"No, Sister Crane wouldn't say that without a reason."

He also rolled his eyes.

"So, if we actually find any issues during the review, are we going to take action"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but fidget with his fingers, a look of eager anticipation on his face.

He felt a sudden urge to punch the guy after seeing the photo on the file.

I can't give a reason.

Anyway, it definitely wasn't because he was more handsome than me.

"No, we only need to report back to headquarters."

Gion slowly closed the file and turned to face the vast sea in the distance.

On the vast expanse of the sea, a cool sea breeze blew directly towards her, making her long black hair dance.

She remembered the advice her Crane elder sister had given her before she left, and also the rumors about this Darren she had heard from people back at headquarters...

The North Sea…the most chaotic sea in the world…

My thoughts drifted,

On the distant sea surface, a heavily guarded military base slowly emerges from the mist.

It's almost here.

Gion softly said, " It's a light fragrance."

From the lookout point of the battleship, a bugle call gradually sounded.

The loud military bugle calls echoed far and wide, and the same bugle calls could also be heard from the direction of the 321 Naval Branch.

Echoing each other.

"Ready for landing."

Gion turned his head to address the group of naval officers.

Soon, a warship slowly sailed into the port of Naval Branch 321.

A line of marines, fully armed and ready for action, were stationed on land, forming a formidable military formation.

"This Beihai Navy... is a bit more than meets the eye..."

Jiaji stroked his chin, eyeing the naval contingent stationed at 321 Branch, and couldn't help but comment.

Although the 321 branch is the largest and most powerful branch of the Beihai Navy system, the quality of sailors in the Four Seas region is notoriously low. The gap between them and the headquarters is a well-known fact.

But upon closer inspection, it was found that these naval personnel were all exceptionally robust in spirit. Each individual exuded a formidable presence, with unwavering gazes and top-notch weaponry – pistols and combat knives of the highest caliber.

Judging from the momentum and equipment alone, even the headquarters' elite wouldn't be this impressive.

Something's not right... That fellow named Darren actually managed to train the North Sea Navy to this level.

Gion and Kake no one could resist exchanging a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Greetings!"

At this time, a naval lieutenant around 20 years old, wearing a military cap, stepped out from the ranks and shouted loudly.

As soon as his words left his lips, all the naval officers at the port saluted in unison.

Gion and Kake also returned the military salute, then quickly descended from the warship.

"Lieutenant Flying Squirrel, nice to meet you."

Gion stretched out her hand, her eyes sizing up the man before her with dark purple hair and a stern, cold countenance. In her mind, relevant information also surfaced.

A flying squirrel, Navy Lieutenant, Deputy Base Commander of North Sea Branch 321, and Roger Darlen's right-hand man.

The flying squirrel gripped Gion's hand and said in a low voice:

"Welcome, Major Jien and Major Ji to the inspection."

Although they hold the same rank, the two from Ginyo ultimately represent the authority of Naval Headquarters. Therefore, a certain degree of respect is still necessary.

"Just colleagues, no need to be so polite."

Gion smiled faintly, but her gaze swept back and forth around the room.

"Where's Colonel Darren"

The flying squirrel's face paled slightly, and he stammered a bit:

"Darren, the base commander...is still busy."

Still busy

Gion furrowed her willow brows and suddenly saw a beautifully decorated official ship docked at the edge of the harbor.

The official ship was adorned with brightly colored ribbons, and the mast flew the kingdom's flag.

"This...is the official ship of the Kingdom of Adis"

Gion recognized the flag on the official ship, and her expression immediately turned as cold as frost.

She recalled the rumors about Darren she had heard at headquarters before... She unconsciously bit her silver teeth.

This official ship is clearly feminine in style, so its owner…

Could it be…

A sense of foreboding arose in Gi'en's heart. Gritting her teeth, she took a step and strode past the flying squirrel, heading straight for the base commander's mansion.

Her mind was filled with rumors about Roger Daltrey's corrupt, decadent and licentious lifestyle!
