Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

The warship broke through the waves at a steady and rapid speed.

The sea breeze was clear and cool, and white seagulls soared in the sky.

Darren, who was sitting on a beach chair, was uncomfortable and on pins and needles because of the scrutiny of the Crane Staff Officer.

"Ahem... maybe this is the first time we cooperate to carry out a mission at sea, Crane Staff Officer?"

He lit a cigar, covered up his slightly embarrassed expression, and said with a smile.

Staff Officer Crane slowly withdrew his gaze from Darren's handsome and tough face, took a sip of a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, squinted his eyes and smiled:

"Yes, Vice Admiral Darren."

"Speaking of which, I found that there is indeed less communication between us."

A sincere smile appeared on Darren's face, and he said at the right time:

"This is indeed the biggest regret of the kid. The world has focused their attention on the brilliance of Admiral Sengoku, Mr. Garp and Mr. Zephyr, but the kid knows that without Staff Officer Crane, the Navy Headquarters will be difficult to operate at all."

"People say that Admiral Sengoku is the most brilliant in the Navy. "Wise general", but they don't know that the one who really advises the overall development of the navy is you, the chief staff officer of the headquarters. "

"When I was working in Beihai, I had a yearning for Chief Staff Crane, but unfortunately, since I was transferred to the headquarters, I have been busy with missions and training, so I don't have time to bother you."

Caught off guard by Darren's series of words, Chief Staff Crane was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little speechless:

"I finally understand why Zhan Guo always said that he wanted to transfer you to his command as his adjutant."

With her experience and vision, she naturally heard Darren's flattery at once.

Darren shook his head and said sincerely:

"Staff Officer Crane, don't think I'm just being polite. I was once in charge of military affairs in a maritime area."

"The navy is a large and complex military organization. Fighting pirates is naturally the main responsibility of the navy. The main combat power is indeed important, but this does not mean that staff, logistics and dispatch are insignificant."

"The deployment of warships, the allocation of resources, the supply of arms, the analysis of war... these seemingly insignificant things are often one of the factors that determine the outcome of a battle."

"When I was serving in the North Sea, I was deeply aware of this."

"In my opinion, Mr. Garp, Mr. Zefa and Admiral Sengoku are indeed worthy of respect, but you, Staff Officer Crane... are the real hero of our navy!"

When Darren said this, his expression was serious and sincere, from the heart.

"You kid..."

Staff Officer Crane laughed dumbly and pointed at Darren.

"Okay, okay, stop flattering me. I'm not that guy from the Warring States period."

Although she said that, the smile on her face was like a slowly blooming chrysanthemum, and the unfamiliarity in her tone also dissipated.

She took a sip of tea, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

"This tea is quite good."

The tea tastes fragrant, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing, refreshing and refreshing.

Darren smiled:

"I know that the Crane Staff Officer likes to drink tea, so I asked someone to prepare some high-quality tea on the warship."

The Crane Staff Officer was stunned, and his eyes looked at Darren with a lot more favor, and his grudge against this boy because of Gion also dissipated a little.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Darren, this stinky boy, is indeed very charming...

She quietly looked at the Vice Admiral in front of her.

A face with deep features, piercing black eyes that seem to hide the starry sky, eyebrows like sharp blades, jawline and Adam's apple that seem to be carefully carved, and a well-fitting military uniform...

This boy's unrestrained, wild and unbridled temperament is fully displayed.

Indulgent and restrained, wanton and restrained, two completely different temperaments are perfectly integrated in him.

'No wonder Gion is so fascinated by him...'

Staff Officer He sighed in his heart and couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

If I were myself 20 or 30 years ago, I might have been fascinated by Darren when I met him at a good time when my heart was budding.

Good image, good temperament, good at coaxing people, good at doing things, strong strength... For a love object, except for being a little fickle, there is really nothing wrong with him.

It's a bit of a scumbag, but Chief of Staff He saw the colorful metal flowers in the vase in Gion's bedroom.

It is said that whenever this guy arrives in a new place, he will find a coin in the local area, and then use his devil fruit ability to make a gold foil flower for Gion.

This may not seem like a big deal, but don't forget that Darren basically does this every time he arrives.Every time he went to a new place, he was on a mission. In that dangerous situation, he still remembered this incident... This was enough to prove his sincerity and concern for Gion.

‘Forget it, let the young people solve their own problems...’

Staff Officer Tsuru muttered in his heart.

She restrained her emotions, got to the point, and said seriously:

"Darren, how much do you know about Doflamingo?"

Darren pondered for a moment, frowned, and said slowly:

"To be honest, I know a little about Doflamingo."

"This kid has a paranoid and twisted personality, full of dark and bloody desire for destruction, and he is different from normal world nobles. Perhaps because of his childhood experience, he is good at calculating and has a deep mind."

"This time he did such a crazy thing and took away the Tianshangjin. I'm afraid he has other intentions and wants to use this to threaten the government to make concessions."

Darren's well-reasoned analysis made Staff Officer Crane nod secretly and look at him with appreciation.

This kid is really different from others.

Not only is his fist strong, but his brain is also extremely smart.

She could even imagine what absurd answers those three troublesome little devils would give if she asked this question to Sakaski, Borsalino and Kuzan.

"Yeah, that's my judgment too."

Staff Officer Crane nodded.

"That's actually why Sengoku asked me to assist you in this mission."

"After Doflamingo entered the Grand Line from the North Sea, I led warships to attack him several times, but unfortunately I returned empty-handed."

"But..."

At this point, a helpless bitter smile flashed across Staff Officer Crane's face.

"It's better to say it's a warning than an attack."

For a Celestial Dragon, the Navy can do very little.

Thinking of this, Staff Officer Crane looked at Darren with a softer gaze, with a feeling of sympathy and mutual appreciation.

As a navy who also "dealt with" Doflamingo, she knew the difficulty better than anyone else.

Doflamingo's identity is too tricky.

And it is obvious that facing the matter of Tenjo Gold, especially when it involves the face of the government, the Five Elders will never give in.

In this way, the pressure is on the Navy.

Take action? No, Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon.

Don't take action? No, the Navy must maintain the dignity of the World Government, and Tenjo Gold must not be lost.

In the end, the Navy is directly in a difficult position.

This mission is a hot potato in itself.

"Things are not desperate yet, everything will turn around."

At this time, Darren chuckled and said.

His voice was very indifferent, but there was an inexplicable convincing demeanor.

Staff Officer Tsuru was stunned.

She looked at the side of the Navy Vice Admiral with a confident smile, as if she was infected, and her heart was inexplicably calmed down.

'Where does this kid get his confidence from...'
