Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

"The Battle of Marinford... This is a complete failure!!"

The stern roar of the new vice admiral echoed throughout the entire conference hall, and was broadcast to every naval branch on the sea in real time through the loudspeaker and the video Den Den Mushi.

At this moment, the navy of the major naval branches in the world were all stunned to look at the vice admiral with cold eyes and ferocious expression on the Den Den Mushi screen, their faces gradually turned pale, as if struck by lightning.

In the conference hall, the world was dead silent.

The navy and the people looked dazed, and they could not believe what they heard.

"The Battle of Marinford... was a huge failure?"

"But didn't we successfully resist the invasion of the three great pirates including Golden Lion?"

"That was Golden Lion Shiki!"

"He even threw down a floating island!"

"We defended our homeland, this should have been a victory..."

"Didn't Marshal Kong and Admiral Sengoku say the same thing?"

"..."

People had different opinions, looking at the vice admiral on the high platform with disbelief.

Behind Darren, the expressions of Kong, Sengoku and Zephyr were also full of surprise.

This... is different from what was agreed!

Didn't they say that Darren would take this opportunity to give everyone some inspiring words?

Why did he deny the significance of this war?

Directly characterize the great Battle of Marinford... as a "complete failure"! ?

Or is this some kind of speech technique they haven't heard of?

For a moment, Ganggukong and the other two didn't know whether they should stop Darren. The incident and the turn were so sudden that they were stunned there before they could come to their senses.

Gion and others were also stunned, not understanding what Darren meant by this.

Borsalino glanced at Darren's back, and suddenly a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sakaski slowly opened his closed eyes, and a hidden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

At this time-

"Vice Admiral Darren! I disagree! We won the Battle of Marinford!"

A young navy soldier suddenly raised his hand, gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to speak loudly.

"Yes, we protected our homeland!"

Then another navy lieutenant colonel stood up and refuted.

"This was a huge disaster. You saved the island. We all respect you... but you can't erase the contributions and efforts made by all of us."

A commodore said angrily.

In another direction, a little girl ran out from the crowd, crying:

"That's right! My brother... Colonel Spit, he fought to the death to protect Marinford and sacrificed his life. How could this be a failure!?"

"..."

One, two, the navy and the people stood up one after another.

They had no opinion on Darren's great achievements. They were grateful and respected him.

But they couldn't accept Darren's characterization of the Battle of Marinford as "a failure."

Their relatives, friends, partners, comrades-in-arms... countless people died and were injured. In order to win this war, they have lost too much.

The joy of victory in the war is the last comfort for their sad and wounded hearts.

So they find it hard to accept that what they have sacrificed so much for is not victory but failure.

They will never allow anyone to take away their "victory".

Facing this surging crowd, Zhan Guo frowned and subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to interrupt the ceremony directly and control the situation.

But a strong hand was placed on his shoulder, stopping him.

Zhan Guo looked back in confusion, only to see Gang Gu Kong shaking his head at him.

"Too late."

Gang Gu Kong's expression was extremely complicated, and he sighed lightly.

Zhan Guo was stunned.

He turned his head again and looked at the scene.

Those were faces full of confusion and even doubt, and countless eyes fell on the Vice Admiral, eagerly waiting for his answer.

Yes, he couldn't stop it.

Darren, who had raised this spearhead, if he could not give a reasonable and satisfactory explanation to the navy soldiers and civilians present, and even the navy around the world who were watching this scene through the Den Den Mushi screen... Otherwise, there would be no end.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo couldn't help looking at Darren's back again, and muttered in his heart:

Darren boy, what on earth do you want to do by saying these words...

...

The venue was silent.

The breathing sound was clearly audible.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at Darren tightly, like an invisible tide, spreadingIt surged like a flood.

If ordinary people faced such pressure, they would have collapsed mentally.

But Darren just laughed suddenly.

"So you all hope this is a glorious victory worth celebrating, right?"

He asked.

No one answered, but everyone in the audience nodded.

The arc of Darren's mouth became more sarcastic and mocking.

"So that's it."

"Yes, you all hope this is a victory."

"But to some extent, this is indeed a "great" victory."

Before everyone showed the joy of recognition on their faces-

His voice suddenly rose, like a fierce beast roaring.

Arms waved angrily!

"We have successfully let the dirty, evil, ugly and despicable pirates attack our headquarters!!"

The voice was loud.

People looked horrified.

"We have successfully turned the "Holy Land of Justice" into the devastated ruins we see now!!"

The tone of voice became increasingly louder.

The sound of gasps became louder and more piercing.

"The navy that should have been the world's hegemon has successfully become a toy that can be slaughtered and provoked at will!!"

The anger reached its peak.

The storm suddenly swept through every corner of the scene, making everyone's face suddenly turn pale.

Darren raised his arms and looked down at everyone under the stage.

No one dared to look at him for a second with his cold, angry and stern eyes.

"Then, please tell me..."

"When a pirate can invade the center of justice in the world without restraint;"

"When the navy can only protect themselves in the face of the invasion of pirates, they can only watch him throw down a sentence "I'll stop here" and then leave in style;"

"When the whole world sees how weak our navy is, and sees that the sacred Marine Headquarters Marinford is just like this..."

"This war..."

Darren raised his head, his eyes almost spurted out cold light that was ready to bite anyone.

The cold voice was like an ancient anchor, lingering in the air for a long time, and deeply immersed in everyone's heart.

"Can it still be called a victory!?"

Everyone was stunned.

Darren roared loudly, and his veins bulged.

A majestic and terrifying momentum suddenly broke out from his body, turning into a mighty tide that swept across the world and spread out in all directions.

The sky and earth suddenly changed color with strong wind and lightning!

"Reply! Answer! Me!"
