Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

Navy Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Admiral Sengoku is announcing the last thing:

"The meeting agenda ends here. Regarding the follow-up matters of the implementation of the Shichibukai system, there must be a suitable candidate to follow up..."

His serious eyes swept over the field one by one.

Sakaski raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes.

Sengoku paused, frowned, and continued to move his eyes.

Without staying on Borsalino for a second, Sengoku glanced at Kuzan, who raised his hand with a red face, like a good student scrambling to answer questions in class.

Sengoku: ...

He sighed in his heart, and finally cast his eyes on Darren.

"...This task is handed over to you, Vice Admiral Darren."

Darren smiled, not surprised by the news, raised his hand and saluted:

"Yes, General Sengoku, I will do my best to complete the task."

Sengoku smiled very satisfied, nodded and said:

"Well, then today's meeting is over, adjourned."

As the meeting ended, the officers in the audience slowly left the venue under the guidance of the guards.

"Vice Admiral Darren, thank you for your hard work."

"Vice Admiral Darren is really a pillar of our navy."

"Attracting the hatred of all the Seven Warlords of the Sea with one person... no, suppressing all the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"..."

One after another, the generals passed by Darren when leaving the meeting room, expressing sincere admiration and respect in their eyes.

They naturally knew how much Darren had sacrificed and how much pressure he had borne for the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.

Our Vice Admiral Darren is not the biggest villain in the Navy... He is clearly the real hero of the Navy!

After all the people in the audience left, Sengoku said to Darren and the others in a deep voice:

"The establishment of the Shichibukai system, the government insisted on holding a grand ceremony to publicly grant these guys the title of 'Shichibukai'."

"In this way, on the one hand, it can show that the power and status of the Shichibukai are granted by the Navy, and on the other hand, it also sends a signal to the whole world..."

"...Even powerful pirates like Douglas Barrett have to submit to the strength of the Navy and the government!"

Sengoku straightened his chest, clenched his fists, and had a faint sense of high spirits.

As the incumbent admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku is the main person in charge and promoter of the establishment of the Shichibukai system. As long as the Shichibukai system can finally succeed and achieve its purpose, it must be a great achievement for him.

This can further enhance his image and weight in the government, and will be a great political help for his promotion to the rank of Admiral in the future.

Hearing this, the others did not react much.

Only Sakaski frowned, hesitant to speak, and finally said nothing.

"Twenty days."

Zhan Guo raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice:

"Twenty days later, all members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will hold a collective ceremony of conferring titles at the headquarters of the Navy."

"At that time, most news agencies around the world will come to report on the ceremony, and will also broadcast it live through video telephone bugs."

"Don't let down the chain when the time comes..."

Zhan Guo glared at Borsalino who was still picking his nails.

"I'm talking about you, Borsalino, do you hear me!?"

Borsalino immediately raised his hands in surrender and said slowly:

"No problem, General Zhan Guo."

...

Walked out of the Marshal's Mansion.

He didn't care too much about the ceremony of conferring the title of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but Darren was still immersed in another matter.

He was more concerned about Magellan's progress in practice.

To be more precise, well, his own progress in practice.

Compared with the amazing increase brought by the "poison resistance" training in the first month, Darren once again felt the existence of a bottleneck in the past month.

In the first month of "poison resistance" training, his physique increased by 3 points, and other data were well improved due to the spillover effect of the physique bonus.

But in this month, even though Magellan's devil fruit ability was getting stronger, Darren's physical strength only increased by 1 point.

As he walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, he unfolded his perception talent and checked his various physical "data":

Physique: 96.017 (Indestructible Body)

Strength: 86.677 (Giant Power)

Speed: 86.747 (Shaving Speed)

Fruit AbilityDevelopment: 86.186 (covering the island)

Armament Haki: 74.792 (internal destruction, devil form)

Observation Haki: 76.521 (magnetic field induction)

Conqueror Haki: 81.469 (affecting the essence)

"It seems that he has basically become immune. Unless Magellan's Poison-Poison Fruit ability has been developed by leaps and bounds, or even reached the state of 'awakening', otherwise, in a short period of time, it is meaningless to continue to rely on this method to improve strength."

Darren said secretly in his heart, frowning slightly.

He had expected this result and was not too disappointed.

Physical strength has always been his strong point since the time in the North Sea. Even in today's world, the only people who can compare with him in physical strength are the gifted Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.

Even in terms of pure physical defense and resistance to various abnormal states, Darren is better than them.

Kaido's "Indestructible Body" focuses more on strong recovery and vitality, which is the benefit brought by his "ghost" bloodline and the blue dragon form of the animal-type mythical beast.

BIG·MOM focuses more on the powerful explosive power of the body. At the age of eight, she can overturn an adult giant warrior. The body of the "iron balloon" is just an external representation.

Compared with the three, each has its own advantages.

Darren knows very well that if he wants to continue to improve his physical strength, it will be terribly difficult. It can be said that basically any conventional and unconventional methods have completely failed.

"Should I find Sakaski to hone my resistance to magma?"

A crazy idea suddenly flashed through Darren's mind.

The flame has no effect on him. It is estimated that even if he faces the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the only threat to him is the strongest move "Flame Emperor". Other fancy moves like Mirror Fire Flame may not even burn through his skin.

Not to mention any training effect.
