kicking up a swirling cloud of dust as he relentlessly charged towards Vincent Smoker.A few black lines drifted onto Darren's forehead.This guy…trying to steal the limelight againHe unconsciously wan...Blue sky, blue sea, white clouds drifting.
A gigantic warship sailed across the boundless azure sea at a steady pace, leaving a long white trail behind it.
In the dim hold, Darren sat alone on deck, his eyes closed in meditation.
The flickering light of the oil lamp cast a blurry shadow of his figure on the cabin walls.
Three smooth metallic spheres floated in mid-air, orbiting his body in a circular motion.
If anyone were here, they would probably be astonished.
Because these three metal spheres, surrounding the naval captain's flying movement, maintained an absolutely consistent relative distance from each other even during motion!
This requires extremely high control.
Time passes by minute by minute.
With Darren's fingers gently dancing, the three metal spheres flowed like liquid, constantly changing shape. Sometimes they stretched and elongated into sharp spikes, twisting and writhing like treacherous iron chains. At other times, they spread and expanded like sturdy steel shields...
At a certain point,
Darren slowly opened his eyes.
Three metal spheres instantly converged and coalesced, finally transforming into a silver metal bracer that solidified on the naval captain's right wrist.
He gently exhaled, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
Physique: 60.451
Strength: 55.890
Speed: 58.048
Fruit: 71.871
"Indeed, only true combat and bloodshed can force oneself to grow faster..."
Darren, with his "Insight" talent perceiving his physical condition, couldn't help but utter a heartfelt remark.
Over the past few months, his cultivation progress has actually slowed down considerably. In fact, both his speed and fruitfulness abilities have almost come to a standstill.
Although he continuously increases his training intensity, the improvements in his physical data are still slow, and the rate of improvement is no longer satisfactory.
However, after the fight with Jerma 66, Darren's physique and strength both increased by more than 1 point.
If it's training, it would take at least a month to achieve the same effect.
"It's a shame, Germa 66 was too weak. They didn't allow me to truly enter my state."
Darren smiled and lit a cigar.
Jerma 66 and Smoker are actually not weak, they just have abilities that counter Germa's technological weapons.
There is no doubt that if it weren't for my arrival, with Venis Smok Garch and the Germa 66's military might, "slaughtering the Four Kings of the North Sea" or even dominating the North Sea wouldn't be a big problem.
"I really miss those days when I fought that crazy bastard, Sakaski..."
Darren's eyes held a touch of melancholy.
Before Sakaski left the North Sea to train at Headquarters, he often trained and sparred with Garp without using their Devil Fruit powers.
Of course, the two of them "sparring," in the eyes of others, is a life-or-death situation.
After all, that guy Sakaski never holds back.
A slight mistake could lead to you being wiped out, tragically becoming an "accident".
During that time, although he was seriously injured almost every day, the exhilarating fight to the death, constantly pushing himself to break his limits in life-or-death situations, intoxicated Darren.
That was also the period when his skills improved most rapidly.
It's a pity, but those days are gone.
After being trained at the Marine Officer Training Camp under the tutelage of former Fleet Admiral Blackbeard, it is estimated that Sakaski has now mastered Haki.
The distance between him and himself has been stretched infinitely.
After all, Teacher Kaido said... Armament Haki is the strongest power on this sea.
With that in mind, Darren slowly got to his feet.
He is not in a hurry.
The third officer training camp is about to begin, and if nothing unexpected happens, I have already been awarded a spot.
Although his talent is far inferior to that of monsters like Sakaski and Polusalino, Darren believes that with his own abilities, he can definitely secure a place for himself in the Marines.
Before that, he had to build up the North Sea fleet.
Equip this powerful fleet, which is about to be armed with Germa technology, into a military force that belongs to him and obeys only his orders.
A resolute gleam flashed in Darren's deep eyes as he stepped out of the cabin and pushed open the door.
Under the warm sunlight, a patrol of navy soldiers can be seen outside the ship's hold, diligently performing daily maintenance on their firearms and cannons.
And on the spacious deck, Kage and Gion were both sweating profusely as they trained.
The former was bearing a ton-heavy barbell, gritting his teeth, contorting his face ferociously as he did an inverted push-up.
The latter held a long sword, his expression solemn and focused as he meticulously practiced his swordsmanship. The sharp blade sliced through the air, producing a series of piercing whistles.
"Are they two having a seizure"
Darren looked at the scene with confusion and asked the flying squirrel who was walking over.
The flying squirrel rubbed her temples helplessly.
"The Germa 66 incident was quite a shock to them, especially when you add in... After they came back, they went crazy training."
Darren remembered Dale being kicked in the face and sent flying by Vince McMahon, and couldn't help but laugh.
Boom!!
At that moment, a magnificent water column dozens of meters high suddenly erupted from the side of the warship.
Waves crashed and churned, and the warship shuddered violently.
"What happened!"
Is it an attack
"No! It's, it's a sea king!!"
“...” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The sailors on deck's faces changed color, and they quickly sprang into action, drawing their swords, raising their spears, and adjusting the cannons on the warship.
A vast, looming shadow slowly emerged from the churning seawater, casting a dark pall over everyone on deck and enveloping nearly the entire warship.
The blazing sun overhead seemed to vanish, replaced by a colossal creature towering at least sixty or seventy meters high.
Its black scales and gill-like organs made it look like a giant eel.
Lantern-sized eyes, gazing down from above, surveyed the sailors on deck. Slowly, a blood-filled maw lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth opened wide.
"A mini sea monster"
Darren eyed the unusual fish before him with interest.
During this period, Vegapunk hadn't yet researched a way to load Seastone onto the bottom of warships, allowing the Marines to cross Calm Belts.
That is to say, at this time marine creatures could still sense the warship's aura.
The flying squirrel beside him instinctively reached out and grasped the hilt of the military dagger at his waist, ready to strike.
Darren, however, held onto his shoulders and shook his head.
The flying squirrel was startled, but then heard a strange cry from the deck.
"HAHAHAHA!!! Just in time!!! I'll use your little worm to test out the results of this genius's cultivation!!!"
The moment the arrogant laughter echoed, Jiaji's figure leaped onto the railing of the warship, launching himself backward like a projectile.
Wow!!
A flash of human-like anger crossed the crimson eyes of the sea king, as if enraged by the audacity of this "ant" before him. With a deafening roar that shook the very air, it unleashed its fury.
The sudden crashing waves sent several sailors sprawling on the deck.
The sea monster opened its blood-filled maw, bristling with teeth, and swallowed Gaiji whole as he leaped high into the air.
Bang!!
Add a punch!
Visible ripples spread outward.
The sea king's eyes widened in shock, and his expression became dumbfounded.
Clang! Clang! ...
Under the added punch, its teeth appeared with a dense network of cracks that soon shattered.
Sea creatures:
Burning tears, brewed in its eye.
Just then,
Clang!!
The buzzing sound of the famous blade unsheathed suddenly exploded.
The golden blade ripped through the air, a streak of gold flashing across the emptiness as it roared through the void.
Tut!
A slender, crimson streak slowly appeared at the neck of the pitiful cephalopod.
Sever the ties!
Then,
Boom!!
The colossal head and body of the sea monster separated, plunging into the sea surface and once again churning up a frenzy of waves.
The ever-flowing blood dyed the sea surface a vast crimson.
On deck.
Having landed steadily, he struck a pose as if he were cool and confident.
Gion expressionlessly sheathed her blade, her cape billowing behind her in the wind.
The other Marines gaped in astonishment at the effortless way Jigen and Kage dealt with the Sea King behemoth. After a second of silence, they erupted into joyous cheers.
Someone quickly cast a net, ready to add some fish to their meal.
"Truly a genius from this branch... A future candidate for admiral..."
Darren looked at the scene and murmured to himself with emotion.
Through their movements, Darren could immediately tell that their strength had increased significantly compared to when they first arrived in the North Sea.
The addition of power, speed, and technique has increased his abilities by at least 30%.
As for the Gion... she has even grasped "Soaring Slash," able to cut out sword beams and in one fell swoop entered the realm of a swordsman!
This is only a few days!!
This terrifying talent, even if it's not as monstrous as Sakaski and Polusalino's, is still incredibly close.
"Hahahahahaha!! Darren, did you see that!!"
Jiaji added a smug grin to his face as he swaggered over, raising his hand and flexing his biceps.
"Such a big sea monster, this genius just punched all his teeth out today. You—"
BOOM!!
Just then, as if attracted by the blood of the sea creatures, the surface of the sea erupted once again with a surge of monstrous waves.
One head,
On both ends,
Three heads,
……
Eight colossal sea monsters, each towering over one hundred meters tall, emerged from the undulating waves, their heads held high as they roared in unison. Their deafening cries echoed across the heavens and earth.
As its massive form twisted and writhed, the sea was churned into towering waves that crashed towards the warships.
The little warship trembled and swayed before the massive sea monsters, whose bodies dwarfed its own.
Darren waved his hand.
The metallic arm guard suddenly flew off, twisting and stretching like a living thing into a razor-sharp spear. It shot out of the air with a sudden burst.
Sharp explosions echoed incessantly, and under the terrifying force of magnetic fields, the metal spears tore through the void, leaving behind ripples of white wherever they passed.
The speed surged to an extreme in an instant.
No one can see its trajectory.
Everyone on deck only felt a blur before their eyes, as if something was weaving back and forth in the air, like a silver phantom.
The eight sea monsters, roaring as they charged, all came to a sudden halt.
Hmph!
Their bodies were continuously erupting with a dense mass of tiny blood holes, spraying out high-pressure blood like a sieve.
Boom!
The colossal figure collapsed one after another, creating towering geysers of water.
Darren nonchalantly drew back the metal spear, re-coalescing it into a forearm guard which he slapped on. Behind him, eight lifeless sea creatures plummeted into the ocean.
He turned his head to look at the dumbfounded Jiaji and said:
"Captain Jia, what were you trying to say just now"
With a twitch of his lips, Jia Ji smiled.
"I said you could definitely do better than me!"
Darren glanced at him, patted his shoulder, and looked out into the distance.
The outline of an island gradually emerged on the surface of the sea in the distance.
"Get ready, we're about to land on the island."
A hint of a sardonic smile played on the corner of his lips.
"This time, our mission is to protect the great, sacred and honorable Celestial Dragons."
