Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

On the way from the military hospital to the Marshal's Mansion, Darren, who had been lying in bed for ten days, finally saw the current situation of Marinford again.

The land of the military zone was still devastated. From time to time, wounded navy soldiers stopped patrolling and saluted the four people with admiration.

The wreckage of collapsed buildings and military fortresses had been basically cleaned up by the staff, but the ground was still full of cracks and holes. What came into view was an empty space, which looked extremely depressed.

Only a few scattered buildings and the building frames of military fortresses were hastily built to prepare for the next reconstruction work.

This scene made Darren frown frequently.

The invasion of the Golden Lion this time was even more devastating than the war at the top in Darren's memory.

At least half of the buildings in the military zone were destroyed, and many civilian areas were also affected. Even his own family compound was razed to the ground by the "meteorites" that fell from the sky.

Fortunately, because Zefa organized enough people to help civilians evacuate and take refuge at the first moment of the incident, the casualties of all the people were not serious.

Even so, the bleak expressions of the navy can be seen everywhere on the land of Marinford, and many civilians stand blankly in front of their homes destroyed by the war with numb expressions and blank eyes, and even cry out loud.

For the Golden Lion, this war is just a game he played on a whim, his revenge on the navy, and his outlet for venting his emotions.

But for the countless navy and people living in Marinford, this is a disaster that has made them lose their relatives, friends, lovers and homes.

Facing this scene, even though Darren has honed his indifferent character in the North Sea and has become accustomed to war and pain, he feels a little heavy for a while.

"Damn Golden Lion, I will definitely settle accounts with him!"

Kuzan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

"Marinford was destroyed like this... Damn it, if I were stronger, I might be able to save more people!"

As the "double disciple" of the two "old stubborn" Zefa and Garp, Kuzan naturally inherited their understanding and persistence of the concept of justice to a certain extent.

Compared with the crusade against pirates, they believe that the more important thing for justice is to protect civilians and the younger generation of the navy.

To a certain extent, Kuzan has inherited their concept of justice very well.

There was deep grief and anger in his eyes, angry at the cruelty and tyranny of the Golden Lion, and even more hated that his strength was not strong enough.

Darren glanced at him, patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"You have done a good job, Kuzan. Without your ability, our losses in this war will be greater."

This is indeed the fact. In order to prevent the floating island floating over by the Golden Lion from falling into Marinford, Darren used Yan Mo to cut the island in half and let it fall into the sea.

But even so, the scale and size of the island are too shocking. The surging waves after falling into the sea are powerful enough to completely submerge most of Marinford into a swamp.

If Kuzan had not used the power of the devil fruit in time to freeze the sea water, the consequences would be disastrous.

Before Kuzan spoke, Sakaski on the side spoke lightly.

"War is always accompanied by casualties, this is inevitable."

His pace did not slow down at all because of the sad and bleak ruins in front of him.

"Instead of wasting time complaining and venting emotions here, it is better to plan what to do next."

Looking at Sakaski's cold and stiff back, Kuzan gritted his teeth and cursed:

"This cold-blooded guy!"

Darren did not speak.

Sakaski has such a personality.

He has completely tempered himself into a strong and cold war machine, like a hard and cold cliff, indelible and unchangeable.

For him, pity, sadness, sympathy, pain and other emotions are unnecessary, which will only hinder the correct choice and affect the efficiency of killing the enemy.

"General Zhan Guo has been having a headache recently... post-war compensation, comforting the wounded, temporary housing for the people, and post-disaster reconstruction of Marinford... all these things are piled up at once, and even the research funds for the science and technology forces have been cut a lot because of this."

Borusalino seemed to be trying to smooth things over, changing the subject and speaking with a smile.

This guy's injuries have healed, and he walks lightly, looking as if he has never been injured.

"What about the government's military aid?" Darren asked.Borsalino spread his hands with a playful expression:

"The Golden Lion killed a Celestial Dragon, and the news cannot be blocked. The Five Elders are probably furious now..."

"Marshal Kong has gone to the Holy Land of Mary Joa to report."

Military expenditure has always been the biggest problem that has plagued the development of the Navy, without a doubt.

The Navy's military expenditure comes entirely from the World Government's appropriation, and there is no other income, which also means that all the Navy's actions are subject to the government's orders.

This is a dilemma that has existed for hundreds of years, and there is no solution at all.

It is precisely because of the deep understanding of the troubles of being blocked from military expenditure that Darren will do whatever it takes to make money in the North Sea and independently form the North Sea Fleet.

The four of them chatted with each other and soon came to the front of the Central Military Fortress.

The Marshal's Mansion is here.

There is a shocking huge hole on the magnificent wall on one side of the Central Military Fortress, and construction workers are repairing it with steel bars and wood next to it.

This is the hole that Borsalino made after being kicked away by the Golden Lion.

"Everyone, the hearing is about to begin. General Zhan Guo and others are already waiting in the conference room."

A messenger in military uniform walked over quickly and saluted Darren and the other four with his head held high.

Internal hearing of the Navy.

This is the internal inquiry and review of the newly promoted vice admirals of the headquarters by the decision-making level of the Navy, which is usually a formality.

The internal hierarchy of the Navy is strict. From the most ordinary menial servants who are not even qualified to go to the battlefield to the high-powered admirals of the Navy who are known as the "highest combat power of the world government", every military rank is clear.

Each level of promotion is a huge improvement, representing greater power and higher status.

But only by stepping into the power of the vice admiral of the headquarters can one truly be said to have entered the core decision-making level of the Navy system.

The vice admirals, known as the "mainstay", are the core that truly supports the world's justice.

And today, Darren will also usher in such an internal meeting.

Once he passes, he will officially join the ranks of the Navy's top brass, be able to participate in most of the Navy's core military affairs, have his own ships and independent troops, be in charge of the Grand Line branch, and even be qualified to execute the legendary Demon Slayer Order.

Darren looked up at this magnificent and majestic Marshal's Mansion, his eyes emitting the flames of ambition without concealment.

He knew that after today, the door to the highest power of the Navy would slowly open a gap for him.
