Pirates: The Biggest Scum In Marine History

The smile on Sengoku's face froze and his muscles twitched.

Hey hey hey, Zephyr you old bastard is too quick to say no.

Don't you give me any face for this Marine Admiral?

"Don't think I don't know what you crafty bastard is thinking, Darren is my lieutenant..."

Zephyr leisurely lit a cigar and looked at Sengoku with vacant eyes:

"You already have Porusalino."

Sengoku almost spat out a mouthful of old blood when he heard the words, gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't mention that guy to me!!"

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Zephyr, this urgent task has nothing to do with the adjutant. It is his freedom to choose whose adjutant Darren will be in the end, but the immediate task really needs Darren's help."

Zephyr, who was smoking a cigar, glanced at Sengoku, and found that the seriousness on the latter's face did not seem to be fake, frowned and said:

"Is there anything that you can't solve? There are so many generals in the headquarters, why do you want Darren?"

"Sengoku...you should be very clear that the training camp period is a critical period for elite officers to grow rapidly, which is especially critical for his future strength..."

"If manpower is really needed, wouldn't Sakazuki, Drago, and Polusalino be better choices? They've all grown up, and they're not far behind Admiral-level combat power."

"And Darren is still in the period of rapid growth in strength. It is not suitable for him to perform tasks that are too dangerous..."

At the end, Zephyr shook his head in disapproval.

Although the mechanism setting of the training camp is not completely closed, it does not restrict the movement of students.

After all, they are not recruits who don’t know anything, but Marine elites carefully selected from all over the world. When necessary, it is not uncommon for them to go to sea to perform tasks.

But after observing for the past month, Zephyr was surprised to find that Darren's growth rate was too fast.

He is like a never-ending sponge, constantly absorbing all the knowledge and training techniques he taught him. Compared with when he first came to the training camp, his strength has at least increased significantly!

Zephyr had only seen this kind of rapid increase in strength from Sakazuki and Porusalino, and even compared to them, Darren was even worse.

The emergence of this situation shows that Darren has already made a lot of basic accumulation when he was at North Blue. After coming to the headquarters training camp and under his own guidance, the past accumulation finally exploded, achieving extremely exaggerated leap-forward growth.

This is a sign of accumulation.

Zephyr is naturally unwilling to break Darren's perfect power-up period.

Going out to sea to fight pirates, there will be more opportunities in the future, not this moment.

There is no need for Darren to get involved in the affairs of the military department, otherwise the setting up of the training camp would be meaningless.

As Darren's teacher, Zephyr naturally considers it from the perspective of safeguarding Darren's vital interests.

"Zephyr, I have taken into account your worries, but this time the mission objective is more troublesome."

Sengoku said in a deep voice:

"And I believe you also understand that the improvement of strength cannot only rely on practice, actual combat is also a very important part."

Seeing that Zephyr was still frowning, he added:

"How about we look at Darren's own personal opinion before making a decision? He knows his own situation better than anyone."

Hearing what Sengoku said, Zephyr could only nod helplessly.

Although I can forcibly refuse, Sengoku is Admiral after all.

He has already said this to this extent, no matter how I say it, I have to give him face.

‘It’s really not good, I’ll try to persuade Darren when the time comes. '

Zephyr murmured inwardly.

...

On the school field.

The scorching sun pierced the skin like a sword, making it painful.

Bean-sized sweat dripped on the ground, but it was absorbed by the dry soil in the blink of an eye without a trace.

boom!

The heavy and thick iron chain fell heavily, kicking up a piece of dirt and gravel.

Darren was panting heavily, his chest heaving rapidly, making a hoarse breathing sound as if pulling a bellows.

But his face was full of satisfaction and enjoyment.

The past month has been very fulfilling, and he hasn't had such a peaceful day for a long time.

There is no busy military work, no busy entertainment, no hypocritical political games, only day after day training, sweat, and the encouragement and smiles between classmates while secretly competing.

Putting aside trivial military affairs and government affairs and boring interpersonal communication, Darren is completely immersed in personal practice.

He was surprised to find that under the guidance of Zephyr, with a more deeply understood training method, he finally had another breakthrough in the improvement of his strength.

Although the cultivation progress of Observation Haki has not improved yet, all the physical statistics have improved significantly.

Physique: 69.335

Strength: 66.331

Velocity: 66.591

Fruit: 76.111

Armament Haki: 28.319

Physique, strength, speed, the development of Devil Fruit... These four physical data have all been improved by at least two points or even higher during the special training in the past month!

This is an extremely terrifying statistic.

You must know that the data of two points may not be a big deal on the panel, but in fact, this kind of comprehensive improvement adds up to an improvement of nearly 10 points!

If it is converted into actual combat, the improvement of personal combat power is at least 20% or more.

Of course, Darren is also very clear that as he continues to adapt to such a training intensity and a new training method, the speed of this strength improvement will continue to decline over time.

In the past two or three days, this sign has become more and more obvious.

Of course, in addition to the basic data improvement——

After Zephyr's guidance and knowledge combing, Darren has a clearer understanding of the development and understanding of Armament Haki.

On the basis of this understanding, after a comprehensive measurement and evaluation, Armament Haki's strength standard is also followed.

Thinking of this, Darren looked down at his palm full of calluses and blood blisters, and suddenly let out a low drink.

"Arm!"

Swish!

The blackness visible to the naked eye dyed the arm like liquid, covering the entire palm, showing a thick, cold and hard texture like metal.

If 100 points are used as the standard value, after rough estimation, the strength of Mr. Zephyr's Armament Haki fluctuates around 90 points, while his own Armament Haki strength... is 28 points.

Perhaps it is not very strong compared to Zephyr, but considering that it has only been a month since he comprehended it to being able to master Armament Haki proficiently, Darren knows that this speed of progress is enough to surpass most people.

The ingenious point is that Darren has seen Garp and Sengoku, the two Marine bosses, make a full shot.

According to my own estimation, the strength of Sengoku's Armament Haki is about 80-85 points, while Garp is on par with Zephyr.

It's just that Garp has the bonus increase of Conqueror's Haki, and the actual combat power it explodes is stronger than that of Zephyr.

At this moment, a figure ran over from the edge of the school field.

He gave Darren a military salute:

"Darren Commodore, Mr. Zephyr please!"
