his age, his talent already surpasses most geniuses on this sea.In the midst of the stares from the Don Quixote family,Darren extended a finger, hooking onto the thread caught on his chest. He gave it...Darren woke up from a soft, big bed.
A high, proud nose bridge, eyes as deep and mysterious as stars, sword-like eyebrows, and a head of short, black hair framing a wild and unrestrained demeanor.
He slowly rose from the bed, his bare upper body covered in a variety of grotesque and terrifying scars. His rough muscle lines added a touch of wildness to him.
He's always so handsome.
"Darren, are you awake"
A soft, tingling, and alluring voice emanated from under the fluffy blankets.
A face with mature tenderness peeks out from under the covers, and the curves beneath them are too tempting to describe.
A woman's eyes, glistening with moisture, looked at the tall man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass with a seductive gaze. Her expression was filled with the satisfaction of being conquered.
She had never seen such a perfect man, wild, domineering, and defiant.
Although her first time was last night because of her husband's preference for the same sex, this man in front of her gave her an unimaginable pleasure.
Darren walked to the window, picked up a premium cigar from the crystal tea table, lit it and took a deep puff, then smiled faintly:
"Well, just keep sleeping, dear."
Though you call her dear, this woman is merely a passing fancy in Darren's life of conquests.
He will soon forget.
Although this noblewoman tastes quite good.
Darren casually threw on a loose white shirt, unbuttoned it to expose his chest, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and picked up the latest edition of the newspaper. He sipped his whiskey as he flipped through the pages.
"The 'Great Way' War was endless, and the nation met a tragic end at the hands of its own 'National Hero'! One man alone slaughtered an entire nation's army! A devilish youth... Douglas Barrett!"
"The pirate "World Destroyer" Bondo Waldo has sunk a World Government official ship, angering the Celestial Dragons, the highest nobility in the world. A bounty of 200 million Berries has been placed on his head! The Wado Pirates may become the biggest threat to the government!"
"Roger, the Pirate King, sets sail again!! His latest whereabouts are in the weakest of the seas: the East Blue!!"
"Gol D. Roger, the King of the Pirates, is recruiting soldiers in the New World and aiming to build the largest pirate fleet in the world!!"
"Kaido the Pirate Emperor and Charlotte Linlin clashed in a massive war that devastated a small island in the New World!!"
"...."
A string of shocking headlines flashed before Darren's eyes, causing his eyelids to involuntarily narrow.
"What a stir this era is..."
He slowly folded the newspaper, took a sip of his whiskey, and lit a high-end cigar with gilded engravings.
The pungent tobacco flavor stimulated his throat, invigorating his spirits and plunging him into thought.
Yes, Darren is a time traveler.
But other transmigrators were different. He didn't have any "Chosen One" system or cheat codes. His only advantage was that after his soul merged, his perception and control over himself were much more precise than ordinary people.
He had traversed to this world of pirates five years ago, rising from the lowest rank of a marine private to his current position.
The North Sea, though outside the Grand Line, is the most chaotic, savage, and filth-ridden of all the four seas.
Without the peace of the "Weakest Sea," the East China Sea,
Without the prosperity of trade in the Western Sea,
...the stable, sparsely populated South China Sea with no human presence...
The North Sea is teeming with gang warfare, turf wars between underworld factions, endless wars between kingdoms, and rampant pirates...
Everything makes the North Sea a nightmare for countless navies to govern.
From an ordinary marine to the base commander of 321st branch, even about to be awarded by the headquarters, how many perilous adventures and schemes Darren has experienced... I'm afraid he himself can't remember.
Only the wounds on his body are enough to prove everything.
It is precisely because Darren knows the difficulty of his journey, he adopts an extremely indulgent attitude towards life.
After all, the timeline he's in is the Haiyuan Calendar year 1492!
Years after the God's Grasp War concluded, the entire world order finds itself in chaos.
Roger had not yet completed his great voyage, to become the legendary Pirate King;
The Golden Lion hasn't gone to Marlins Park to give up any runs, he's still dreaming of his reign over the sea;
Whitebeard was still gathering his sons across the vast sea, his head of hair like a golden crown still strong;
Kaido hasn't become the renowned "Cute Teacher" of later generations yet. He still stubbornly keeps looking for opportunities to commit suicide by challenging the Marines.
Charlotte Linlin, before she became the "Big Mom" with a physique like a steel balloon, still maintained a good figure and was searching for suitable stallions at sea;
Red Hair is still an intern, Buggy hasn't become king yet, and Luffy hasn't even been born...
In this era, there is no balance of power in the New World with the Four Emperors ruling, nor the order of the Seven Warlords. There's only chaos and bloodshed!
In this era where the entire world is ravaged by pirates,
In this era, when legendary pirates roamed the seas,
Even the navy, considered by countless transmigrator predecessors to be the most physically fit and desirable profession, is a job that puts one's head in their belt.
Darren himself couldn't say for sure when he would die in the fray, so of course he was determined to live his life to the fullest.
Having crossed over once, he naturally wanted to live it up!
Even if you become a navy sailor, you can't be a miserable one.
To drink the best wine, smoke the strongest cigarettes, and sleep with the most beautiful women!
This is his guiding principle.
Whether it's falling from grace or becoming corrupt, these so-called reputations don't really matter at all.
He's not a pirate, so what does he want fame for
The North Sea Navy has never relied on a good reputation for promotion.
Let's not talk about it, but my former boss, Polusalino and Sakaski, those two guys, were also from the North Sea.
Their reputation isn't that great either.
Now they are different. After graduating from the officer training camp, they have risen through the ranks step by step, becoming the "future admiral" in the eyes of all sailors in the Navy
Of course, it's all fun and games, but when it comes to his own cultivation and improvement of skill, Darren's standards are just as high as when he chooses a woman.
Thinking this way, he adjusted his breath and gradually focused his spirit, immersing himself in the perception of his body.
Time travel caused a soul merging, resulting in a kind of magical talent. He became so attuned to his own being that it was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
To facilitate analysis and record-keeping, after several years of exploration, he successfully visualized this feeling in a general way, using numbers as a measuring unit. He compared it to the famous generals from the Warring States period and created a "personal attribute table".
This seems unreasonable, but since even something as outrageous as time travel has happened, it's also acceptable.
Physique: 58.103
Strength: 53.831
Speed: 57.539
Fruit: 71.345
Physique represents the body's defense, vitality, and endurance.
Power is pure arm strength, physical strength, and explosive force.
Speed is the movement speed and short-distance burst acceleration.
As for the fruit... it is the level of control over Devil Fruits.
This data's reference object has specific examples, and the maximum value is 100.
For example, physical prowess. The reference point is naturally "the strongest creature in land, sea and air" from the original plot, Kaido of the Beasts.
Kaido's terrifying defenses, which wouldn't be harmed by anything less than advanced Ryuusei, would likely give him a physical strength of around 90 points.
"Well, my physique has indeed increased by 0.03."
Darren delicately felt his own body, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
A chance discovery has finally been confirmed.
After last night's two-hour "campaign," I woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated today. My body is definitely stronger now.
This is reasonable.
According to the physiological knowledge I had before traveling through time, moderate "exercise" can increase testosterone levels (male hormones) in the body and release a large amount of dopamine, which can promote muscle growth.
Though 0.03 may seem small, every little bit counts. Even a mosquito is meat.
Yes, this is Darren's exploration and hard work over the past few years to figure out how to use his "gift."
Through precise perception of the body and feedback as accurate as data, he can find the most suitable practice method for his own growth, thus continuously realizing the enhancement of his abilities!
Just then——
Suddenly!
The room's door was suddenly cleaved open by a fierce sword light.
A tall and slender figure with long black hair walked in, her expression cold and angry.
"Colonel Darren, as the incoming commander of the North Sea Fleet, to do such a ridiculous thing within the naval base... it's simply too much!"
With a golden blade in her hand, Gion glanced at the woman huddled under the covers on the bed, her eyes almost spitting fire. She uttered a sentence that left the onlookers speechless:
"This is the Duchess of the kingdom of Adis!"

Just a reminder to everyone, this book covers a very long period of time, from the Roger era all the way to the Summit War. Since the beginning here takes place too early in the timeline, many characters are still very young.
They haven't had much experience yet and are quite immature, their thoughts and ideas haven't formed into the impressions we have of the original work.
