"The Governor-General of Tyrell, in the Kingdom of Yadis, has sent a plea for aid to our North Sea Navy, hoping that we will send troops to mediate."As soon as the words left his mouth, both Kaji and...The hold of the warship fell silent at some point, even Polusalino had stopped picking his nails and lifted his head with interest, a playful smile curling on his lips.
Darren this guy... He's directly asking the Marines' Fleet Admiral for authority at this time!
"Darren, do you want command of this mission"
During the Warring States period, Zhan Guo frowned and said in a serious tone.
"Yes, general of the Warring States period."
The naval captain's voice was unwavering, his reply resolute:
I have enough confidence.
"The situation in the North Sea is complex. I know everything about the shipping routes, town distribution, and troop deployments near the target islands..."
"This transaction was arranged by my people. I have ample reason to carry it out."
"And most importantly, this operation to encircle and suppress Bandit Waldo and his Waddles Pirate Crew will have the North Sea Fleet, our Navy's main force, participating. I will be in command of the operation, allowing us to maximize their combat effectiveness."
Darren knew he absolutely couldn't back down at this moment.
He had lived in the North Sea for so many years, he knew very well one thing... So-called power and status, many times, are something that you have to fight for yourself.
At the right time, put forward appropriate requests... Sometimes, to win the respect of your boss, the best way is to challenge his authority.
When Zhan Guo heard Darren's words, a glimmer shone in the depths of his profound eyes.
"Darren, are you familiar with Bondi Valdo's capabilities"
He suddenly asked another question.
"As for the Warring States, I'm well aware. Bonney Waldo, being a legendary pirate on par with Roger and Whitebeard, is undoubtedly formidable. But this isn't just about strength; it's a war, and countless factors determine its outcome."
The Warring States Period pondered for a moment, then asked again:
"And you should know that if, because of your command, the mission fails, you will face very serious punishment... even affecting your political career in the Navy."
"As a Warring States general, I am naturally well aware of this. If the mission fails, I am willing to accept any punishment from headquarters."
Hearing this, the light in Zhan Guo's eyes grew even brighter.
He paused, turning his head to look at the man beside him, Boa Hancock.
Vice Admiral Polusalino, what are your thoughts
Polusalino stroked his chin thoughtfully, after a long moment he spoke slowly:
"Well... I think it wouldn't hurt to let Colonel Darren give it a try."
After all, his performance since he took office as the Naval Commander of Behai has always been excellent, both in governance and military ability...
Borusalino's final words dispelled any remaining doubts in Sengoku's mind.
Indeed, if any other naval commander had faced such an important mission as suppressing Bondi Waldo, the Warring States period would have been absolutely impossible to entrust command to someone else.
But Darren is different.
His past resume and experience show that although he has not received officer training camp education, his military talent and tactical acumen are undoubtedly outstanding among the Navy.
Of course, most importantly, is Darren's courage.
With his fleet as the main attacking force, he volunteered to lead the mission against Bandy Valdor. It takes courage and conviction to do such a thing.
"In that case, I'll leave the temporary command of this mission in your hands."
After some deep thought, Zhan Guo slowly gave his answer.
But you must understand, the battlefield is ever-changing. If unforeseen special circumstances arise, this old man will take back command at any time and personally lead the battle.
"No problem, Warring States general."
……
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Darren stood at the bow of a battleship, holding the Den Den Mushi in his hand. His wide cape billowed behind him, dancing freely in the wind. A slight smile played on his half-closed eyes.
He slowly put away the military phone bug and gazed out at the sea facing the harbor.
Ship after ship, they were sailing steadily from the sea outside of Branch 321 into the harbor of the military port. They formed an arrowhead fleet formation according to his order.
On land at the naval base, heavily armed sailors carried out orders from their superiors with grim determination, loading crate after crate of military supplies onto warships.
Soldiers of all ranks were silently fulfilling their duties, wiping and maintaining the black cannons on the warships, focusing intently on preparations before the expedition.
"Did the old man from the Warring States Period really agree"
A gasp sounded behind him, and Darren turned to see Gareth's face etched with disbelief.
"To send out such an important expedition against the Sea King, Bundy Waldo... He actually entrusted the command to you!"
Darren smiled, lit a cigar, and winked at Jackie.
"This department still understands how to respect and cultivate talent."
"Damn it!! Why wasn't it me!!"
Jia Ji gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.
I don't know why, but watching Darren, that bastard, succeed is worse than killing him.
That's Bondo Valdo!!
A legendary pirate with a bounty of 400 million Belly!!
In recent years, many high-ranking officers of the Navy Headquarters, including former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, current Fleet Admiral Akainu, and Rear Admiral Garp… have repeatedly launched討伐 operations against this group.
Now, that we've managed to block the entrance to the Grand Line and trap Bundy Waldo in the North Sea, it's the perfect opportunity to finally get rid of him!
But such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, it actually fell into the hands of that bastard Darren!!
"Darren, are you sure you want to lead this operation Bundy Waldo is not like the pirates of the North Sea."
At this time, Ji Yuan said with a complex expression.
Darren glanced at her and smiled:
"Don't worry about me, I'm a thug, a scoundrel. How did that saying go Oh, I remember now... Villains always live long lives."
"It's not that I'm worried about you! I'm afraid you'll make a mistake and lead the hard-won North Sea Fleet to ruin under Bondi Waldo's 'world destruction' powers!"
"...and ultimately led to the warlords of the Warring States period having all their previous efforts come to naught!"
Darren waved his hand dismissively and shrugged.
"Who knows about that kind of thing"
After all, that's Bundy Waldo. Whoever leads the charge could potentially cause the mission to fail.
Of course, if you have the confidence, Gion, I can also give you command. What do you thinkning and coiling like living creatures. They formed a dense net of black, engulfing the replicated soldiers.They didn't even have time to react before their bodies were completely bound by the crisscr...
