him, the weasel's eyes were cold and hard, his hands gripping the military saber tightly as he slashed fiercely towards Darren!Excellent opportunity!!Tut tut!The blade, swallowing sword energy, slash...Bat Island.

Municipal Government Office, Conference Room.

All the others had already wisely left the conference room, leaving only Darren, Ratman, Gion, Sengoku and Whitebeard seated.

This is an internal meeting of the Beihai Naval Fleet.

Darren lit a cigar, glanced at Borusalino who was wearing aviator sunglasses, then turned to Sengoku and smiled faintly:

"I wonder how the Warring States generals' campaign against Bondo Valdo is going"

Looking at the navy admiral before him, whose face was twisted in a look of humiliation, Darren found himself smiling slightly.

The three admirals of the Marine Headquarters are basically hanging in the air. Ze Fa is wholeheartedly devoted to teaching, and Kapu refuses a promotion, so almost all the trivial matters and trouble fall on Sengoku alone.

Pure and innocent victim.

"Zhan Guo shook his head."

Something happened along the way, and the mission was interrupted.

He raised his teacup and took a light sip, his profound eyes scanning the faces of everyone present, his expression gradually becoming serious and austere.

"The reason I came here this time is because of this."

Sensing the seriousness in the Warring States' tone, Jiyuan and the others all sat up straight, their expressions becoming solemn.

After a moment's pause, Zhàn Guó slowly said:

"A day ago, something earth-shaking happened in the Beihai, which shook the world governments."

Not long ago, the Celestial Dragon Silvers Raid, who had returned to Saint Mary Geoia from Bathia Island, was attacked on his way back... and died instantly.

The moment his voice trailed off, Darren's face turned pale and he jumped to his feet.

"What That's impossible!"

The flying squirrel's face also wore a look of astonishment, as if in disbelief.

Both Gion and Kachiko trembled with fear.

They didn't know what they were thinking, their eyes unconsciously glanced towards Darren, but when they saw the expression of "astonishment" on Darren's face, they were all dumbfounded.

Worried sick about this matter, Sengoku didn't notice the subtle expressions on the two people's faces. He just rubbed his temples in pain.

Only Borusalino seemed to notice something, the smile on his lips suddenly becoming full of meaning.

"This incident involving the Celestial Dragons being attacked is still under wraps, but this old man has received orders from the government to conduct a thorough investigation."

Warring States sighed.

But according to the recordings from the surveillance bugs on the official vessel, no leads have been found yet.

But it can be inferred that the attacker's strength was incredible... The World Government's guards didn't even have time to react, and the warships were sunk directly.

"This is related information."

Saying that, Zhan Guo took out a document and handed it to Darren.

Darren took it, quickly glanced at it, and couldn't help but mutter:

"In an instant, the government ship was destroyed... Such strength, even in the Grand Line, there are few who could achieve it. Let alone in a place like the North Sea."

He passed the files one by one to Flying Squirrel and the others.

The flying squirrel also quickly skimmed through it, although he had already expected it, he was still shocked.

The information described in this file, and the direction of the Sengoku Great General investigation, are exactly the same as what Darren analyzed!

"Warring States General...have you narrowed down the suspects"

At that time, Darren spoke in a low voice,

"Since this incident occurred in the North Sea, I must also take responsibility... I and the North Sea Navy are willing to unconditionally cooperate with your work."

The Warring States was pleased with Darren's attitude and nodded.

"Well, choosing to entrust the Beihai Navy to you back then was indeed a wise decision."

"However, I have already screened the suspects who are capable of this, but there are no results yet."

This time, I came to Battiar Island to further investigate. After all, considering the circumstances, Silde Saint-Berne set sail from Battiar Island to return to Holy Land Mary Geoia.

"I see," Darren said, nodding in understanding.

"You are responsible for the protection of Sir Seldes on Bataria Island..."

During the Warring States period, Liang lightly tapped the conference table with his finger.

Before Sir Eldred set sail, did you notice anything unusual about him or any strange people or occurrences on the island

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sengoku saw a flicker of change in the expressions of both Gion and Kageki. They looked like they had something to say but were holding back.

To be frank, a Warring States general...

Darren spoke slowly then, his expression unusually complex.

"Before Sir Seldon set sail, something did indeed happen."

"Oh" The Warring States furrowed his brows, "What is it"

Gion and Kaje both turned their heads abruptly, staring at Darren with astonishment.

The naval colonel sighed.

"That was unfortunate."

He pondered his tone for a moment, then slowly recounted the story of the father and daughter who sold flowers on Bathia Island.

……

Bang!

The massive fist came crashing down, shattering the conference table before Warring States in a violent splintering.

Damn it!!!

He suddenly stood up, his fists clenched tightly, trembling visibly.

I don't know who that "damn it" was directed at.

A scene flashed through his mind: a frail little girl being dragged roughly into the hold of a ship, trembling and huddled in a dark corner.

Gion and the others watched as the Warring States general's face flushed with anger, too afraid to speak.

After a while, Zhanguo forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

"That's all for this meeting, I'm getting a bit tired."

After a moment of silence, his voice raspy uttered that sentence and without another word, turned and left.

Also in the Gion district, everyone else quickly followed suit.

Only Darren and Polusalino were left in the large conference room.

Both of their faces wore a smirk that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"Sasaki, General Polusorino."

Darren suddenly laughed, breaking the silence. He pulled out a gold-lined cigar and tossed it to Polusalino.

Borusalino took it, held it under his nose and sniffed, then chuckled:

"It's been years, you're still as much of an enjoyer of life as ever, Darren."

Darren lit a cigar for himself and shrugged.

When the navy is already tough enough, there's no need to make things harder on yourself, right

Polusalino gave him a long, hard look, then suddenly grinned.

"It's obvious that you're doing well in Beihai."

He paused, his voice heavy with meaning.

"Darren, this is just the beginning, right"

Darren smiled calmly. "Who knows I don't like trouble either... Well, that's one good thing I learned from you."

Polusalino scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled:

"Indeed, trouble always comes in unwanted ways."

"Trouble always seems to find me." Darren said.

"Just don't involve me in this..." Polusalino stretched lazily, got up from his seat, and walked towards the door.

"Thank you for the cigar."

He waved to Darren with his back turned.

Just as he stepped out of the conference room door, his steps suddenly stopped. He turned back to Darren with a slight smile:

"Besides, I always feel that the truth behind the Celestial Dragons' attack incident is not as complicated as it seems."

"Oh What's Colonel Polusalino's opinion" Darren tapped his cigarette ash.

Borusalino's spectacles glinted with an ominous light.

"I think it's highly possible that we were attacked by a sea monster."

After all, it’s such a large ship, it's very noticeable…

"This was an accident, don't you think, Darren"

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Borusalino stared at the naval colonel who was sitting there smoking, as if he wanted to see something on the latter's face.

However, Darren merely said:

"Colonel Polusalino sees it the same way I do."

They stared at each other for a while.

Then, she burst into laughter.

——Like two cunning foxes.
