Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

Matters concerning the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

Walking on the way to the Marshal's Mansion, Darren was thinking absentmindedly.

Although he had made the corresponding arrangements in advance, he was not completely sure whether the candidate he selected would be included in the government's final list.

After all, the final decision on the Seven Warlords of the Sea still lies in the hands of the World Government.

'I just don't know how Fisher Tiger is doing...'

Darren frowned and lit a cigar.

"How is Magellan now?"

At this time, Zefa, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

Darren was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"Very good, that kid is a little weird, but considering the special and weird nature of the Poison-Poison Fruit, this is understandable."

"But in terms of talent and potential, Magellan is definitely not inferior to Kuzan and me."

Zefer nodded with satisfaction.

"Kuzan has grown up very fast... He has become the backbone of our navy in the blink of an eye. It feels like he joined the training camp just yesterday."

When he said the last sentence, Zefa's eyes flashed with emotion, and a soft and mellow smile slowly flowed.

He gave up the ideal of conquering pirates a long time ago and took it as his responsibility to train excellent students.

For Zefa, the chief instructor of the military academy, there is nothing more proud and proud than watching the students he trained grow into excellent navy.

"But, Darren, are you sure that... well, inhaling a large dose of Magellan's poison gas will not cause any problems to your body?"

Zeffa seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked at Darren, and asked with some doubt:

"If it doesn't work, you should go to the military hospital or the scientific and technological troops for a check-up."

"Borsalino has achieved certain results in the deconstruction of Magellan's toxins, and the special antidote has been successfully developed. Even if there are any problems, they can be solved in time."

He pursed his lips.

"Don't be so arrogant, or you will have any sequelae in the end."

Hearing the concern in Zefa's words, Darren felt a warm current in his heart, and smiled and said:

"Teacher Zefa, don't worry, there will be no problem."

He didn't want to lie on the experimental bed and be examined by that wretched guy Borsalino while touching his chin, and then pretended to be surprised and said "It's terrible".

When he thought of that scene, he couldn't help but shudder, a little chilly.

"I will continue to watch Magellan, but I always feel that the boy is holding back something."

"Oh?" Zephyr raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Darren pondered for a moment, frowned and said:

"How should I put it? I always feel that with his talent and talent, his development of the devil fruit ability will not progress so slowly."

Zeffer: ...

He was speechless for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Is this still slow?

After two months of special training, Magellan's poison is so strong that even a former admiral like him dare not touch it casually.

Even from the degree of corrosion of the buildings in the quarantine area, it can be seen that Magellan's poison has gradually begun to condense and compress from gas to mist, and it is estimated that it will not take long for it to be further condensed to liquid.

Looking at Darren's serious expression, he couldn't complain, and could only sigh silently in his heart:

Sure enough, the "monster" looks at things differently from others.

People's physiques cannot be generalized.

Thinking of the fact that Darren, the stinky boy in front of him, had the terrifying combat power of the first level of the admiral at the age of only 22, while he was promoted to the admiral at the age of 38, Zefa was a little discouraged.

"So Darren, what you mean is..."

Darren exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth and pondered:

"I feel that Magellan is suppressing his potential."

Zeffar fell into silence after hearing this.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing:

"...What a kind boy."

No one doesn't want to become stronger.

This is the self-instinct of human beings.

Especially for natural "monsters" like Magellan, Kuzan, and Sakaski, this instinct engraved in their genes will be extremely strong.

But Magellan is trying to suppress his potential and instinct to become stronger, and there is naturally only one reason.

- He is afraid that his ability will become stronger and stronger, until he can't even control it, and finally hurt or even kill the people around him.

"I'll talk to him later."

Darren said, and stopped.

The Central Military Fortress stood majestically in front of them, with two dark "Justice" on the towering gray-black walls.The characters were written in a flamboyant style, and the atmosphere was solemn and powerful.

We have arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.

Led by the guards, Darren and Zefa climbed the stairs and soon arrived at the highest military conference room.

"Report to Marshal Kong, Mr. Zefa and Vice Admiral Darren have arrived."

The guard knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open.

"I am here."

On the main seat of the long oval conference table, Admiral "Steel Bone" Kong sat there like a horse with a sword across his back. His upper body was naked, revealing his explosive bronze muscles. He was wearing a marshal's cloak, and his temperament was cold and hard, as still as a mountain.

Seeing Darren and Zefa walk into the conference room, he smiled and motioned for them to sit down.

Darren saluted and noticed that all other senior officials of the headquarters were already present.

Needless to say, the three navy veterans, Admiral Sengoku, Chief of Staff Crane, and Garp who was picking his nose, were all present.

Sakaski, with his arms folded and expressionless;

Borsalino, who was picking his nails as if no one was around;

And Kuzan, who was waving at him excitedly...

In addition, a group of lieutenant generals from the headquarters were also present, and Darren also saw the figures of the "Golden Generation" such as Gion, Kake, Huoshaoshan, Doberman and Onigumo in the audience, all with solemn expressions.

This should be their first time to attend such a high-level military meeting, so no one dared to be distracted, and they sat upright with their eyes and noses and hearts.

"I believe that all the colleagues present here have roughly known the main agenda of this meeting."

Seeing Darren and Zefa sitting down, Steel Bone Sora cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice:

"The idea of ​​the Seven Warlords of the Sea system... has caused a lot of discussion within our navy and even around the world since its launch."

"Some people think that the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system can relieve some of the pressure on our navy to fight pirates, and gather powerful pirates as helpers to achieve the effect of deterring or even weakening other big pirates;"

"Some people also think that the Seven Warlords of the Sea is purely a regression of the power of justice, a surrender and concession, and the existence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has seriously damaged the reputation and majesty of our navy;"

With these two sentences from Steel Bone Sora, Darren noticed that the generals present had different expressions.

"But!"

Steel Bone Sora's tone suddenly became stern.

"From today on, I don't want to hear similar arguments anymore!"

He signaled to Sengoku with his eyes.

Zhan Guo nodded, took out a stack of documents, and asked the messenger to distribute them to the many generals present.

"The establishment of the Shichibukai system is imperative. As the law enforcement agency under the World Government, our navy should support the government's decision as much as possible, rather than raise questions and arguments."

Konggu Kong then said in a deep voice:

"Although the process was full of twists and turns, and there was even a bad incident of the hunting of Shichibukai candidates, well, here I want to express my praise for Vice Admiral Darren's investigation..."

He nodded to Darren, who smiled back.

"But after a series of investigations and screenings, most of the official candidates for the Shichibukai have been preliminarily determined."

As the sealed documents were distributed to the generals, Konggu Kong interlaced his fingers and said with a serious look:

"What you hold in your hands is the final list of Shichibukai."
