med just before his brow.Hanging there.As if bound by some strange force, imprisoned in mid-air.One second,Two seconds,Three seconds,"Damn it!! Who the hell is it!"Sildes roared with ferocious fury, h...>The other side.
North Sea, Kyiv Island.
Kyiv Island is a neutral island located in the North Sea.
The island was not large, with only a town of a few thousand people, and it did not belong to the sphere of influence of any country.
It was precisely because of the lack of management that all sorts of illegal forces gradually gathered on Snake Island.
Bandits run rampant, the Mafia holds sway, and pirate ships dock brazenly at the dilapidated ports. Gunfire occasionally erupts on the streets.
Darren and the flying squirrel stood at the harbor, smoking cigarettes. Their black hooded coats almost completely concealed their figures, making it impossible to tell who they were.
A bustling crowd surges on the port pier, a cacophony of shouting, haggling, and the scraping of dragged goods fills the air.
The harbor was filled with a stench.
The coast was littered with rotting fish, overripe fruit, expired spices, feces and even body parts. The stench that invaded your nostrils was nothing short of hellish.
"Is everything arranged"
Darren squinted at the merchant ship gradually sailing out of the harbor, puffing on his cigarette as he asked.
“Yes, I have no face shown. It was handed over to the caravan by a Mafia force under our control. No one could trace it back to us.”
She will go to a brand new place and start a completely new life.
The flying squirrel spoke in a low, serious tone. Beneath his seemingly calm facade, his heart pounded rapidly.
"Don't be so nervous..."
Darren noticed the flying squirrel's odd behavior, turned his head and smiled, patting him on the shoulder.
Besides her, there were no survivors on that ship.
"Even if they actually launched an investigation, they wouldn't be able to find any leads."
For this world, the little flower girl has sunk to the bottom of the sea with the official ship.
The flying squirrel took a hard drag of his cigarette and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
You talk so easily...
Even now, whenever the weasel thinks about that incredible feat he pulled off, his heart still races and his palms sweat.
That's a Celestial Dragon!!
The supreme being with unparalleled power and status, "God"!!
But speaking of which, after learning that Darren's "god-slaying" mission was a success, there was an indescribable sense of exhilaration within him.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the innocent and clear smile on the little girl's face when they had parted ways earlier.
Perhaps, for that kind of smile, the risk is worth it.
Darren, you're right.
That Tianlongren, he truly deserved to die.
"What about her father What should we do with him"
The flying squirrel let out a long plume of smoke, then spoke in a low voice.
Darren pondered for a moment,
"It won't be long before someone from up above comes to Batti Island to investigate, so we can't tell her father the truth yet. We need him to cooperate and act in a play."
The squirrel's pupils contracted slightly.
"Investigation Didn't you say they couldn't find any leads"
:
They can't be found.
He used the powers of the Magma Fruit to directly block the signal of the surveillance phone bug.
Even if the government investigates and monitors the surveillance footage afterward, they will only find that the line suddenly cut off.
In that case, the conclusion they would deduce from this would be that the entire official ship was destroyed in an instant.
This way, the focus of their investigation would naturally shift towards those powerful individuals with terrifying abilities.
As just a mere lieutenant colonel within the regiment, I couldn't possibly be suspected.
"Nevertheless, the investigation team has to make a show of it, in order to give the government an explanation."
The flying squirrel suddenly understood, then furrowed his brow again.
"Will the government keep investigating"
Darren shook his head.
"That's impossible, they don't have that kind of patience."
"Most importantly, this 'Heavenly Dragon Incident' is still under wraps. Aside from the investigation team members and high-level officials at headquarters, no one else knows anything about it."
Since no one knows, the government side naturally wouldn't face too much political pressure.
This time's Celestial Dragons incident is different from the Sabaody Archipelago incident in the original plot.
In the original plot, Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirate, attacked a World Noble in public view. Everyone on the island knew that the World Noble had been offended and attacked. The World Government was under political pressure and had to take severe measures.
The Admiral's mobilization, with Kizaru "laying siege" to the Straw Hat Pirates, ultimately ended in failure. He was only able to capture 500 unlucky pirate fodder as a consequence.
But this time it's different.
No one knew that a Tianlongren had died.
Clues and evidence were also completely blocked and sealed off by himself.
The final outcome of the investigation will only be a hasty conclusion.
"I really don't know how your brain works... You were born in Beihai, yet you understand and analyze the higher-ups so clearly."
"However, if the investigation reveals something in the end, both Kaji and Gion might guess something… Aren't you afraid they'll expose themselves"
He turned his head to look at Darren, his voice laced with a hint of worry.
No matter what, for the Beihai Navy, the two in Gion were ultimately "outsiders."
Needless to say, they didn't have a good impression of Darren from the start.
Darren smiled.
Even if they guessed something, they wouldn't dare to say it, let alone speak up.
He looked at the dirty, black harbor before him with a contented expression, as if he belonged there.
They are good people, better than me, better than you, and even better than most people in this world.
They are too clean, too clear. That is their greatest strength, but also their greatest weakness."
"I did things they wanted to do but were afraid to, so naturally they wouldn't say anything."
"...and once they made their choice..."
The naval captain's eyes suddenly became somewhat meaningful.
They were tied onto our boat.
The flying squirrel's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, then couldn't help but wryly smile:
"Have you actually used them all up You are truly a devil."
Darren chuckled dismissively:
Flying squirrel, do you know
"Life, I mean real life, has never been a war between good and evil, but a choice between great evils and small evils."
"This world has long been upside down, pure justice has no soil to survive in."
Most sailors either swallow their pride and become the government's watchdogs, or they can only watch helplessly as crimes happen, powerless to change anything, ultimately ending in frustrated rage.
"It's a pity, though, that I don't want to be a dog or a bystander."
He turned his gaze to his longtime adjutant, comrade, and partner, his eyes blazing with defiance.
"All of this will change one day."
But before that, I must do a devil's...
He exhaled a dragon-like plume of smoke, saying meaningfully:
"...because we've already been living in hell."
The flying squirrel listened intently to all this, remaining silent.
Having finished, he once again displayed a carefree expression, extinguished his cigarette, and stretched languidly.
"Let's head back too, and welcome our great Warring States general."
He smiled and said.
……
Bat Island.
A battered and massive warship slowly docked.
The bow of the battleship was shaped like a giant Buddha. On the deck stood stern-faced naval soldiers, looking like the most elite troops in the navy.
The commoners and merchants at the port gaped in astonishment as they beheld this colossal vessel, bristling with monstrous cannons and exuding an aura of impending warfare. They instinctively recoiled, giving each other space, their hearts pounding with awe.
This is like a war fortress floating on the sea.
Warring States led a group of marines off the deck, that masked CP-0 member hiding in the crowd.
"This island..."
Zhàn Guó looked at the blue-roofed, white-walled buildings on Battia Island and couldn't help but frown.
A bodyguard came up to him and whispered something in his ear.
"I see..."
Zhan Guo sighed in his heart. Though he felt some resentment towards the Bathia Island City Government's actions, he could only helplessly shake his head.
Tap tap tap...
At this time,
A hurried set of footsteps came from far down the street.
When the Warring States looked up, a gentle smile soon bloomed on his face.
Only Jigen and Kage, leading over a hundred navy men, were seen rushing over.
"Great Generals of the Warring States Period!"
Two people arrived before the Warring States period, solemnly raising their hands in a salute.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the surrounding onlookers were stunned.
This plain-looking middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a strange seagull hat is actually a Marine admiral... the highest combat power of the World Government!
"Well, that's good. You've grown a lot from your trip to Beihai."
Zhan Guo looked at the two people in front of him, a look of admiration gradually spreading in his eyes.
In his Kenbunshoku Haki's perception, both Jigen and Kaku's auras were far stronger than when they left Marineford!
"It's clear that Darren, that stinky kid, still cares about you guys."
When this name was mentioned, both Kaji and Gion's faces flashed with displeasure and anger.
"But speaking of which, why are only the two of you"
What about Darren and the flying squirrel
The Warring States Period looked around at those present and opened its mouth to speak.
As soon as he finished speaking,
A light, smiling voice came from the other side of the street.
"The arrival of a great general from the Warring States period to Behai is truly an honor for Behai."
All eyes turned towards the sound.
Only to see Darren and the Flying Squirrel in their military uniforms, walking quickly over.
However, the instant Darren appeared, Warson clearly sensed from his observation Haki... that the people of Bartia Island were looking at Darren with anger, resentment... and fear.
He looked like he was angry but didn't dare to speak.
This is...
Zhan Guo frowned imperceptibly.
