Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

Chapter 81

The battleship was in a state of panic, but the battle was over.

The cabin of the warship became quiet at some point, and even Borsalino stopped picking his nails, raised his head with interest, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Darren... asked the admiral of the Navy Headquarters for power! ?

"Darren, do you want the command of this mission?"

Zhan Guo frowned and said seriously.

"Yes, General Sengoku."

The navy colonel answered without hesitation:

"I have enough confidence."

"The situation in the North Sea is complicated. I know all about the routes, town distribution, troop deployment, etc. in the waters near the target island."

"I sent someone to arrange this transaction, and I have sufficient reasons to execute it."

"And the most important point is that this time, the North Sea Fleet will be the main force of our navy in the operation to encircle Bondi Waldo and the Ward Pirates. I will be in charge of the combat command and can maximize their combat capabilities."

Darren knew that he must not retreat at this time.

He has been in the North Sea for so many years, and he knows one thing very well... The so-called power and status must be fought for by oneself in many cases.

At the right time, make the right request... Sometimes the best way to win the respect of the boss is to challenge his authority.

When Sengoku heard Darren's words, a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his deep eyes.

"Darren, do you know the strength of Bondi Waldo?"

He suddenly asked another question.

"General Sengoku, I know it very well. As a great pirate who is as famous as Roger and Whitebeard, Bondi Waldo's strength should not be underestimated, but this is a war, and the factors that determine the outcome of the war are not only related to combat power."

Sengoku pondered for a moment and asked again:

"Then do you know that if the mission fails because of your command, you will face very serious punishment... It may even affect your political career in the navy."

"General Sengoku, I know this very well. If the mission fails, I am willing to accept all the punishments from the headquarters."

Hearing this, the light in Sengoku's eyes became brighter.

He paused and turned his head to look at Borsalino next to him.

"Major General Borsalino, what do you think?"

Borsalino touched the stubble on his chin, pretending to be thoughtful, and finally said slowly:

"Well... I think it's okay to let Colonel Darren give it a try."

"After all, his performance since he took office as the Admiral of the North Sea has always been very outstanding in both governance and military talent..."

Borsalino's last sentence directly dispelled the remaining doubts in Zhan Guo's heart.

Indeed, if it were any other naval general, facing such an important task as the crusade against Bondi Waldo, Zhan Guo would never hand over the command.

But Darren is different.

From his past resume and tenure, it can be seen that although he has not received education in the officer training camp, his military talent and wisdom are definitely outstanding in the navy.

Of course, the most important thing is Darren's courage.

Taking his own fleet as the main force of the attack, he volunteered to carry out the mission of conquering Bondi Waldo. This kind of courage is not something that everyone can have.

"In that case, the temporary command of this mission will be handed over to you."

After thinking carefully for a moment, Zhan Guo slowly gave his answer.

"But you have to understand that the battlefield changes rapidly. If there are unpredictable special circumstances, I will take back the command at any time and command the battle myself."

"No problem, General Zhan Guo."

...

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Darren, holding the Den Den Mushi, stood on the bow of a warship. The wide cloak of justice behind him flew freely with the wind, and his half-closed eyes showed a smile.

He slowly put away the military Den Den Mushi and looked towards the sea surface of the port.

One by one, the warships were sailing into the harbor of the military port at a steady speed from the outer sea of the 321 branch, forming an arrow-shaped fleet formation according to his orders.

On the land of the military port, the navy soldiers armed with live ammunition were solemnly carrying out the tasks assigned by their superiors, moving boxes of military supplies onto the warships.

Soldiers at all levels were silently performing their respective duties, wiping and maintaining the black gun barrels on the warships,

Concentrate on making preparations before the expedition.

"Did old man Sengoku really agree?"

A surprised voice sounded behind him, Darren turned around, and what came into his eyes was Kaji's unbelievable face.

"Such an important operation to defeat the great pirate Bondi Waldo... He actually gave you the command!?"

Darren smiled, lit a cigar, and winked at Kaji:

"The headquarters still knows how to respect and cultivate talents."

"Damn it!! Why isn't it me!!"

Kaji gritted his teeth and cursed.

For some reason, watching Darren, this bastard, gain power is more painful than killing him.

That's Bondi Waldo! !

A legendary pirate with a bounty of 400 million berries! !

In the past few years, many high-level combat forces of the Navy Headquarters, including former Navy Admiral Black Arm Zephyr, current Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp... have launched operations against this guy many times.

Now, after finally blocking the entrance to the Grand Line and trapping Bondi Waldo in the North Sea, it is a good opportunity to completely eliminate the latter!

But such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity actually fell into the hands of Darren, the bastard! !

"Darren, are you sure you want to command this operation? Bondi Waldo is different from the pirates in the North Sea."

At this time, Gion said with a complicated expression.

Darren glanced at her and smiled:

"Don't worry about me, I'm a gangster, a scum, what's that saying? Oh, I remember... villains always live a long time."

Gion gritted his teeth and said coldly:

"I'm not worried about you! I'm afraid that you will make mistakes in command, causing the North Sea Fleet that has been built with great difficulty to be destroyed by Bondi Waldo's "world-destroying" power!"

"...and even eventually lead to all the efforts made by General Warring States to be wasted!"

Darren shrugged indifferently,

"Who knows about this kind of thing?"

"After all, it's Bondi Waldo, whoever takes command may cause the mission to fail."

"Of course, if you are sure of it, Gion, I can give you the command, how about it?"

Gion pursed her lips and stopped talking immediately.

The North Sea Fleet will not obey her orders.

The most important thing is that she really has no confidence in facing the Ward Pirates led by Bondi Waldo.

The power of the Momo Fruit is strong enough to make anyone despair.

That is not a problem that can be solved by military command, deployment of troops, and strategic policies.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a deep look at Darren's profile.

The latter was looking at the sea with a calm smile on his lips.
