Chapter 22 Protecting the Celestial Dragons

The next day, a piece of news came from the Kingdom of Germa, a member of the World Government.

"Germa 66 completed an open military exercise with the North Sea Navy Fleet yesterday in the waters near the Kingdom of Yadis in the North Sea. In this exercise, both sides demonstrated strong military combat capabilities..."

"...The King of the Kingdom of Germa, Germa Judge, expressed his cooperation with Colonel Darren, the admiral of the North Sea Navy, and promised to sign a long-term friendly cooperation agreement to jointly maintain the security, peace, prosperity and stability of the North Sea."

In the office of the head of the 321 branch base, Gion and Kake looked at the latest newspaper in their hands and were dumbfounded.

"How is this possible!?"

Especially when the report in the newspaper was accompanied by a photo of Darren and Vinsmoke Judge shaking hands under the seagull flag, they could not believe their eyes.

The day before, they fought to the death and almost destroyed Germa 66. Now they are "friendly and cooperative" in just one day?

Looking at the familiar, kind and enthusiastic smiles on the faces of Darren and Vinsmoke Judge in the group photo, others would think they were brothers who had been separated for many years!

This... is just like a dream!

"How can this be impossible... Mr. Vinsmoke Judge is a sensible person. After my patient explanation and advice, he quickly recognized the position of our North Sea Navy and the Navy's determination to maintain justice and peace..."

Darren smiled at the shocked Gion and slowly lit a cigar.

"And he also realized his mistake in starting the war and decided to correct it. Isn't this a very reasonable thing?"

Kaji nodded suddenly.

"Well, this is indeed very reasonable..."

"... Bullshit!!"

He gritted his teeth.

With Vinsmoke Judge's brutal, domineering, and unruly character and ambition, how could he be influenced by Darren's mere words! ?

You are a Devil Fruit user who controls metal!

You are not the user of the Encouragement Fruit!!

"Darren, what did you do? Did you threaten him?"

Gion gritted his teeth with disbelief.

"You found out..."

Darren raised his hands with an expression of "you found out".

He smiled,

"Actually I didn't do anything. As I said to General Sengoku, I just made him an offer he couldn't refuse."

"But I didn't expect that Vinsmoke Judge would be so reasonable."

Gion and Kake:...

They looked at Darren's silent smile and knew that it was unlikely to get anything out of him.

Although they didn't know what method this guy used to make Vinsmoke Judge surrender, the final result was perfect.

They prevented this war.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the Kingdom of Yadis were not involved in the war.

The Kingdom of Germa gave up the pursuit of the North Sea Navy.

Gion received several silk banners sent by the Yadis royal family.

There were several boxes of fine wine and cigarettes in Kaji's mansion.

Everything seemed to be developing in a beautiful and happy direction... What the hell!!

Gion looked at Darren's confident smile that seemed to be in control of the overall situation, and felt indignant and crazy.

Coercion, bribery, deception, violence, deceiving superiors and subordinates...

These were all extremely bad things, words that had nothing to do with the "justice" she believed in, but in the hands of Darren, this bastard, they became the best means to successfully govern the North Sea.

This was incompatible with all the education she had received in the past.

It completely overturned her three views.

"Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu..."

At this time, the call of the military Den Den Mushi suddenly sounded.

Darren picked up the Den Den Mushi and connected the communication.

"I'm Darren."

The hearty laughter of Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters came out of the Den Den Mushi:

"Hahahaha, Darren, you little brat, you are indeed a subordinate that I rely on. You have done a great job on this matter."

Gion and Kake rolled their eyes together, their heads full of black lines.

They clearly remembered how Admiral Sengoku was furious on the Den Den Mushi yesterday.

"All glory belongs to justice, and this is all thanks to Admiral Sengoku's guidance."

Darren said modestly.

Zhan Guo smiled with satisfaction:

"I really didn't make a mistake. Now it seems that it was the right decision for me to send those two little guys, Gion and Kaji, to the North Sea."

"Those two little guys are really a headache. Kaji is lazy and always wants to steal my cigars. And what about Gion? She looks too much like her sister and her ideas are too naive..."

Listening to Zhan Guo's complaints, Darren glanced at Gion and Kaji, whose faces were gradually turning black, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"... In short, those two little guys are still very immature. If you have time, take them to see more."

Zhan Guo didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and he became more and more excited.

"Ahem..."

Kake couldn't help but cough twice when he noticed that Gion's eyes were getting colder and colder, and he began to exude a chilling murderous intent.

Zhan Guo:...

The military Den Den Mushi fell into silence.

"General Sengoku, I heard that you are... not satisfied with me?"

Gion said to Den Den Mushi expressionlessly.

Sengoku:...

"Hello, hello? Why can't I hear you clearly... Hey, the signal seems not so good... I can't hear you clearly... Darren, you little brat, did you hear what I said just now!?"

"Take good care of Gion and Kaji for me, they are the future of the navy and the hope of justice!!"

"Hello, hello? Why... the signal... is not connected..."

"——Blue."

The Den Den Mushi fell asleep.

The communication... was interrupted.

Gion:...

Kaji:...

Darren:...

The three looked at each other.

The flying squirrel, who had been standing by and not speaking, covered his forehead with a face full of pain.

This acting... is too poor.

But less than a minute later,

the military Den Den Mushi rang again.

Darren answered again.

"General Sengoku."

"Well, Darren, I almost forgot to say that there is a very important mission." Sengoku looked as if nothing had happened just now, and his tone was serious.

"General Sengoku, you say." Darren said.

Zhan Guo said in a deep voice:

"Bondi Waldo attacked a World Government ship a few days ago. The world noble Celestial Dragon Shields Saint on the ship was shipwrecked and drifted to Batia Island in the North Sea."

"The headquarters has received the order from the government. I am on my way to the North Sea now."

Darren frowned when he heard this.

He remembered the news he saw in the newspaper two days ago-"The great pirate "World Destroyer" Bondi Waldo sank the World Government ship. The world noble Celestial Dragon was furious and offered a high reward of 200 million Baileys! The Ward Pirates may become the biggest threat to the government!"

"General Zhan Guo, what do I need to do? Hunt down "World Destroyer" Bondi Waldo?"

Darren exhaled a dragon-like smoke from his mouth, his eyes half-closed.

Zhan Guo shook his head and said:

"No, although your strength is good, it is still a long way from that guy Bondi Waldo."

"It is my mission to defeat Bondi Waldo."

"And your mission is to set off immediately to Batia Island to protect Shields Saint."

"The CP department has sent personnel to the North Sea to escort, but before they arrive at Batia Island, the government needs the nearest navy to protect the personal safety of Shields Saint."
