e 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..."He's such a weirdo!!"

Gazing at the figure that shot towards the Saint Germain like a white arrow, Gion gripped the deck railing with both hands, her face ashen.

Boom!

At this moment, the towering stern of the battleship sank back down into the sea under the force of gravity. The waves it created crashed down, soaking the sailors on deck to the bone.

He, however, was completely oblivious to all this, staring dumbfounded at Darren's figure, his eyes bulging so much they almost popped out of their sockets.

This exaggerated burst of power... That bastard actually wants to rely on his own strength to directly cross nearly a hundred meters and break into the Germa Kingdom!

"Hey!! Doesn't that jerk ever get tired of acting like this!"

Adding a twitch to his lips, he looked towards the squirrel in the distance and couldn't help but ask.

A wry smile touched the flying squirrel's face.

"That's how Darren fights... in just the past year, he's crippled more than five warships in various ways."

If the Beihai Naval Command wasn't "financially well-off," relying solely on the meager military funds allocated by the central government, the Beihai Fleet would have been bankrupt long ago.

The flying squirrel couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

When you say it, when you do it.

Here, the warship regained its stability on the sea surface once again. Meanwhile, Darren had already advanced with unstoppable momentum, plunging into the territory of the Germa Kingdom like a horizontally launched cannonball.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar erupted, sending plumes of dust billowing into the air. The ground itself seemed to tremble slightly.

The next second,

With a cigar clamped between his teeth, Darren slowly rose from the five-meter-wide pit. A defiant smirk played on his lips.

"Landing smoothly."

He smiled, his cloak swirling wildly in the dust and wind.

"Kill!!"

"Make that old man drink it all up!!"

Vince Smog Gatch, seeing such a brutal naval admiral, his pupils constricted, and then fiercely ordered.

As soon as his voice fell,

Out of the ruins of surrounding turrets and fortresses, countless clone soldiers swarmed.

Clad in identical uniforms and sporting sunglasses, the replicated soldiers moved with synchronized precision, emanating a chilling aura that seemed devoid of human emotion.

Whoa!

They all raised their long spears, hundreds of muzzles pointed at the naval colonel.

Pull the trigger!

Bang bang bang bang!!

Flames roared from the muzzles of the guns, and countless bullets screamed out, leaving streaks in the air.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet"

Darren grinned, a touch of madness in his eyes.

Without the use of his Magu Magu fruit ability, facing that dense hail of bullets, he simply strolled forward.

Vince Smoak's eyes widened in surprise, as if he had seen something utterly unbelievable.

Ding ding dong...

A barrage of bullets rained down on Darren, shredding and exploding his suit and uniform. Each shot seemed to hit like steel, ringing out with a sharp clang.

Martian dirt flew up, bullets ricocheting off the naval officer's body like a hail of rain striking the earth, leaving fine craters on the surrounding ground, ramparts, and building walls.

From afar, the naval colonel appeared to be a traveler marching toward a raging storm.

So brave!

"This is impossible!!! How could humans possibly have such a physique!!!"

Vince Smoak glared angrily.

Seeing the gunfire ineffective, some replica soldiers from the military fortress took out a small rocket launcher, carried it on their shoulders aiming and pulled the trigger.

Wow!

A palm-sized rocket launcher let out a sharp roar, dragging its long crimson tail flame as it shrieked toward Darren.

... but was suddenly grabbed by the latter's outstretched hand!

"This new technology... it's far superior to any naval shells the navy has!"

Darren looked at the trembling rocket launcher in his hand with interest, muttered something, and then threw it heavily.

Wow!

The rocket launcher returned to its original path, exploding before the cloned soldier bearing the rocket launcher's barrel. The raging flames instantly consumed an area with a radius of 5 meters.

"The power is comparable to a small field gun, but more portable..."

Darren squinted, observing the rocket launcher's power, and immediately gave his assessment.

He already had a general idea in mind.

He meticulously extorted wealth from the Mafia, amassing a war chest for his North Sea Navy that dwarfed the headquarters' own budget. His objective was crystal clear.

He wants to turn the Beihai Naval Base into his own personal domain.

The entire Beihai Fleet will become his personal armed force!

As a time traveler, he was well aware of the biggest obstacle facing the Navy.

No matter how it's embellished, above the Marines' "justice" always towers the mountain of the World Government's "power"!

This is a real-world problem that cannot be ignored.

The Navy, the world's largest law enforcement agency, is an organization under the World Government and its public face.

And the most crucial point among these is military expenditure!

The world government levies "sky gold" from member nations around the world, and then, through military appropriations, directly or indirectly controls the financial lifeline of the navy.

The navy, lacking independent financial autonomy and alternative sources of military funding, is constrained at every turn and ultimately forced to compromise in reality.

While Darren's accumulation of wealth was ultimately aimed at establishing an independent military force under his own control, free from government interference.

At least for now, after several years of effort and planning, the Beihai Navy's military expenditure has fully achieved self-sufficiency, and even the military expenditure standards far exceed those of its counterparts at headquarters.

But that's not enough!

Darren was well aware of the weakness of the Four Seas Navy. Their combat strength paled in comparison to the elite troops of the headquarters, and their numbers were nowhere near the intimidating level of the "manpower dominance" seen in the New World.

Although I have improved the overall strength of the Beihai Navy through enhanced training and scientific training methods,

But this is still far from enough.

But back to reality, boosting military strength is not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes time and effort.

But the current Germa 66 has opened up a whole new way of thinking for him!

Germa 66... possesses one of the most advanced and cutting-edge military technologies in the world. From various new types of weapons to genetic modification technology and even combat suits, they can rapidly enhance the fighting power of the North Sea Navy.

If we could obtain the technology of Germa 66 and equip our North Sea Fleet with it...

Darren believes he will have an incredibly powerful North Sea fleet in a short time!

Well then...

Darren's lips curled into a smile, and his figure suddenly quickened its pace.

The target... is Germa 66's commander, Vinsmoke Judge!!
