This is certainly not good news.The obsession, perversion, a...The warship's cabin swayed with the rising and falling of the waves. The oil lamps on the table flickered gently, their light dancing between brightness and dimness.

Darren sat tall, his eyes closed, three coins spinning and swirling constantly around him.

If someone were to observe closely here, they would be amazed to discover that the three coins spinning in flight maintain a remarkably consistent speed and distance from each other, with astonishing precision.

It was like three miniature satellites orbiting a single planet.

The cabin was very quiet.

Only the sound of waves crashing against the hull could be heard.

However, as time ticked by, Darren's forehead gradually beaded with a fine layer of cold sweat.

A faint blue arc began to flicker and blossom on his skin… This was a sign that control over the magnetic field was starting to overload.

At a certain moment, as if it had lost its support, three coins fell at the same time.

Darren also slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"It's not that simple…"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Among the three types of Devil Fruits, the development of the Paramecia type is the most unique.

The development of devil fruit powers for animals primarily focuses on adapting to the survival and combat methods of that specific animal, constantly honing their physical prowess to achieve an animalistic state.

While the natural system attempts to integrate as seamlessly as possible into the form of "nature," it evolves various attack methods based on this foundation.

But Superman is different.

Just the existence of different categories within the Devil Fruit's "Superhuman" type itself is proof.

For example, there are special superhuman abilities like Charlotte Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi Fruit, and others that resemble the Bug-Bug Fruit in terms of their nearly illogical rules.

And the magnetic fruit is a very special kind.

It's not immediately apparent what changes the Devil Fruit power causes to the user themselves. Its ability is to influence metallic objects in the outside world by applying a "magnetic field".

Over the past few years, Darren has gradually figured out two ways that can help him improve the development level of his magnetic fruit.

The first is to increase the strength of its magnetic field by adapting to "transport" larger metal objects with greater volume and weight.

Another approach is to improve the precision of control within the magnetic field.

Within a certain range, aligning the magnetic forces in the same direction and making all metal objects move in the same direction is relatively easy.

For example, before Darren controlled the shells, including "driving" warships, it was the same way.

But within the same space and range, allowing multiple metal spirits to move freely in different directions requires constructing a complex network of magnetic field lines within that range, which demands an extremely high level of mental control.

Although the second method is difficult and requires extremely high nerve control, it ultimately yields good results. It has given Darren's stagnated Devil Fruit development a sign of improvement.

Thinking of this, Darren then activated his "Perception" talent, gaining access to a readout of his various physical stats.

Constitution: 63.513

Power: 61.395

Speed: 62.115

Fruit: 73.067

Let's not talk about the development of the Devil Fruit for now. After the intense battle with the sea pirate Bonney, Darren's physique, strength, and speed have all improved significantly.

"As expected, only high-level battles can help one break through their limits... No wonder Rayleigh only taught Luffy for two years and he's still like that, while Kaido's three strikes let him master the Haki Armament."

Darren quipped sarcastically.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Normal people don't have the protagonist aura and sky-defying "sit-ups" ability like Monkey D. Luffy.

If it were anyone else, let alone someone who could withstand Kaido's three strikes, they probably wouldn't even survive the first one.

This is also the reason why Darren "relentlessly" exercises himself to the extreme, even resorting to self-harm.

If you use gaming terms, the higher your physique strength, the thicker your armor and health bar will be, giving you a higher margin of error. This means that when facing powerful enemies, you'll have a chance to turn the tide.

Of course, this also can't avoid the curse of "the thickest armor bears the heaviest blow".

Darren picked up the three coins, stood up from the ground, and slightly lowered his head to bend over. He passed through the low cabin door and walked out of the hold.

The bright and dazzling sunlight made him squint.

"You're here I was waiting for you..."

Darren followed the sound and saw that Drago had just finished a set of single-finger pushups, stood up sweating profusely, and smiled at him.

He was wearing a loose shirt, with several buttons open at the top, revealing his broad chest muscles.

A sunny smile coupled with a rugged physique creates a strange kind of beauty.

"They say you're a crazy hermit, a long way from headquarters. How about we spar"

Drogon's smile was genuine, without the slightest hint of provocation. Instead, it was filled with the fiery eagerness one sees in the face of an evenly matched opponent.

Darren glanced at Gaiji across the way, who immediately ducked behind the mast, looking like he’d been caught red-handed.

He smiled wryly.

Looking at how he tortured himself in the North Sea, it seems like he was "carrying a grudge" and wanted to be beaten up by Dragol to vent his anger.

"Major Dragger, I'm not your opponent."

Darren speaks honestly and frankly.

According to the data collected from the flying squirrel, Dolag is an excellent graduate of the second session of the Naval Officer Training Camp, with the same graduation score as Sakaski.

This candidate, the first one, was Polusalino.

Regardless of this identity, his father is still "Hero" Garp.

Well, thinking about the various "brutal" upbringing methods Luffy endured while being raised by Garp, it's likely that Drak also suffered similar torment.

That is to say, the resources and inheritance that Doflamingo obtained surpassed those of both Polusalino and Sakaski.

Darren couldn't possibly consider himself Dragos' equal.

The most important thing is that he hasn't mastered the aura yet.

After his battle with Bonnie Waldo, Darren had a clear understanding of the vast gulf that separated those who possessed aura and those who did not.

"It's okay, I won't use my domineering and Devil Fruit abilities..."

Dragar stared intently at Darren, his eyes blazing with excitement as he cracked his knuckles, eager for a fight.

"We can also take this opportunity to get to know each other better."

"A real man should talk with his fists!"

There it is! That's the sentence you were waiting for!

Darren grinned, no need for his domineering presence or Devil Fruit powers, up close he wasn't afraid of anyone in hand-to-hand combat!

"Good!"

He grabbed the collar of his shirt with one hand and pulled it hard!

His uniform and cloak were ripped to the ground, revealing Darren's wild body covered in a multitude of ferocious scars. An arrogant, bloody scent suddenly emanated from his body.

Dora's pupils constricted upon seeing this.

This guy has gone through how many times of injuries to get to where he is today!

"Alright, Dorag Colonel!"

As soon as the words left his lips, Darren's figure shot out like a cheetah.

Faced with an opponent far stronger than himself, he launched a surprise attack without hesitation!
