The old man was very happy, but he was not very happy.
"I see..."
The rest of the Five Elders looked at each other, and finally smiled bitterly.
For the Celestial Dragons, the so-called bloodline is important, but not that important.
The superiors never have mercy and compassion.
Only interests are eternal.
Anyway, you can have a few more sons at any time.
"What a sensible kid."
"This saves us a lot of trouble."
"One billion Baileys is not a small amount."
"Indeed."
The Five Elders gave their comments one after another.
Saint Damocles smiled and said:
"Darren is a smart kid. Perhaps after this incident, we can keep in touch with him for a long time."
Hearing this, the eyes of the other five elders all lit up slightly.
This is a good idea.
Anyone can see that Rogers Darren, the North Sea Admiral, will sooner or later enter the ranks of the highest decision-making level of the Navy.
With his talent and talent, it may only be a matter of time before he becomes a Navy Admiral.
By then, there will be a Navy Admiral who directly obeys the orders of the World Government. Their control over the Navy will be greatly increased, and they will also be able to "monitor" other Navy generals.
Damocris saw the changes in the expressions of several colleagues and sneered in his heart.
He has already ranked among the highest powers of the World Government, with overwhelming power. A casual order or a casual look can destroy a country.
But he is not satisfied with this.
His name is Damocles!
The legendary sword that represents the authority of "God"!
His ultimate goal is the seat of "the head of the Five Elder Stars".
However, unlike the other Five Elder Stars, the family behind Saint Damocles does not have much influence and power in the Holy Land.
The support and foundation of the Holy Land are far inferior to those of several colleagues.
If he wants to step into the position of "under one person", he must strive for external forces.
As the largest and most violent law enforcement agency under the World Government, the Navy is his breakthrough.
Start by supporting Rogers Darren, let him quickly ascend to the position of real power in the Navy, and gradually control the power of the Navy in his own hands step by step.
At that time, his voice in the World Government will naturally increase greatly.
"But before that, let's take a look at this survey result first."
Saint Damocles smiled and changed the subject, slowly opening the file in his hand.
————
North Sea, 321 Branch.
Office of the base chief.
After seeing off Warring States, Darren took Flying Squirrel and others directly back from Batia Island.
"So... is it confirmed that there is no problem in the Holy Land?"
The flying squirrel looked at Darren who was sitting there calmly smoking a cigar, and finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
Darren exhaled a dragon-like white smoke from his mouth, squinted his eyes and smiled:
"I sent a very sincere condolence to the Sildes Saint family, and they couldn't refuse."
When he said the word "sincere", he deliberately emphasized the tone.
"What condolence?" The flying squirrel said blankly.
"One billion Baileys."
"What!?"
The flying squirrel took a breath and couldn't believe his ears.
One billion Baileys... This is not a small amount.
This is already the tax revenue of many small and medium-sized kingdoms for a whole year!
In the entire North Sea, the taxes collected by Darren and his team through supporting countless mafia families and underworld forces are only a little over 2 billion Baileys a year!
And now, in order to send a "consolation", their North Sea Navy has worked for nothing for half a year!
Not to mention that in their original plan, not to mention in their plan and expectation, the establishment of the North Sea Navy fleet requires resources and funds, which is a bottomless pit.
"Are you crazy?"
The flying squirrel looked at Darren, who was calm and composed, with helplessness on his face.
As Darren's adjutant, he served as a "steward" and "staff officer".
Seeing Darren "squandering" like this, the flying squirrel's heart seemed to be bleeding.
"It's all worth it."
Darren flicked the ash lightly.
"Money can be earned again if it's gone, but not everyone has the opportunity to give gifts to the Celestial Dragons."
"If I hadn't caught up with the line of Saint Damocles this time, the merchant ship I sent out would not even be qualified to enter the inner sea of the Red Earth Continent."
One billion Baileys is indeed a terrible
Astronomical figures.
You should know that it is only the 1492nd year of the Sea Circle Calendar, and the Great Pirate Era has not yet begun. Inflation is far less terrible than in later generations, and the purchasing power of Bailey is still strong.
Even the legendary pirate Bondi Waldo, who is known as the "World Destroyer", has a bounty of only 200 million Baileys.
1 billion Baileys, which is equivalent to 5 Bondi Waldos.
However, Darren thinks this money is worth spending.
In this world, strength is always the first.
In addition, the second priority is power, not money.
After hearing Darren's answer, the flying squirrel thought about it carefully and found that it made sense, but still said with some pain:
"It's still too expensive..."
"Is it expensive?"
Darren looked up at him and suddenly smiled:
"At least I think it's quite interesting."
The flying squirrel asked in confusion: "You mean..."
Darren raised his head and took a puff of his cigar,
"The Celestial Dragons have the supreme power in the world. They can plunder and trade people - anyone - like pigs and dogs. For them, money is the standard for measuring everything."
"But this time, it shows one thing..."
He paused and laughed mockingly:
"It turns out that the lives of Celestial Dragons are also valuable."
The flying squirrel smiled bitterly when he heard this.
This unique brain circuit can only be thought of by Darren, a freak who is full of rebellion and madness in his bones.
After a moment,
Flying Squirrel remembered something and asked slowly:
"What about the internal investigation of the Navy..."
Darren smiled:
"The report has been submitted. I will provide everything the government needs unconditionally."
"The navigation conditions of each warship at the time of the incident, the positions of each naval officer...well, naturally including our North Sea Navy."
Flying Squirrel frowned and said: "What about you?"
"Me?"
Darren smiled,
"As the North Sea Admiral, I was of course in Batia Island at the time of the incident... I was doing my duty."
"On this point, everyone in the North Sea Navy Fleet, as well as the inspection team members from the Navy Headquarters... Major Kake and Major Gion can testify for me."
"Well, a perfect alibi."
After speaking, Darren put out his cigar and put on a navy cloak.
"Let's go. Now that the bosses of the headquarters have left, we should also get to work."
The flying squirrel was stunned:
"Where to go?"
Darren's footsteps did not stop at all, and he pushed the door open and walked out.
The cold sea breeze blew his cloak behind him like a tornado.
"The money lost from one Celestial Dragon must be recovered from another Celestial Dragon."
The flying squirrel was stunned at first, and then understood it instantly.
A name flashed through his mind.
——Don Quixote Doflamingo.
