Chapter 95 Nothing Has Changed

If someone else said that he wanted to become stronger, it most likely meant that his physical defense became stronger, either as strong as steel or indestructible.

But when these words were spoken by Jiaji, coupled with his enthusiastic and yearning expression, Darren felt speechless for a while.

"Going to Happy Street again?"

he asked angrily.

Jiaji smiled sheepishly:

"Isn't there a card..."

"Besides, it's a loss if you don't use it."

Darren:…

No, even if you have a VIP card, that’s not how you use it! !

Seeing this guy's sloppy steps and heavy dark circles under his eyes, Darren suddenly regretted giving him the black card.

"Isn't there any medicine in Huoshaoshan?"

Darren asked again.

Jiaji's face suddenly turned red and he hesitated:

"That is useful...but it seems that if you use it too many times, the effect becomes less and less obvious."

The corner of Darren's mouth twitched.

Good guy, I've given you all the resistance you need.

"Okay, okay, anyway, I will stay at the headquarters for a while."

He said angrily and walked out of the house immediately.

After receiving Darren's agreement, Jiaji was immediately happy. When he saw Darren walking outside, he couldn't help but be stunned and said doubtfully:

"Where are you going?"

Darren turned around and said, "Didn't you say you'd like to treat me to a late-night snack?"

Addition:…

I’m just telling you, do you still take it seriously?

…

The business district of Malinfando.

The lights are brightly lit and the pedestrian street is filled with fireworks.

"Congratulations on your promotion, Huo Shaoshan."

A group of officers sat in the barbecue tavern, looking at the bearded young man with smiles on their faces, and all raised their glasses.

Huo Shaoshan scratched his head in embarrassment. On his brand new navy cloak, the epaulettes representing the major general of the headquarters shone brightly in the light.

"It's all luck."

Others were already used to this guy's modesty and started laughing and joking about it.

There were many familiar faces present, including the ever-smiling Ghost Spider, the tough-tempered Dauberman, the already drunk Stoloberg, Dalmecia wearing a Dalmatian hood...

They are all cadets in the third phase of the Naval Officer Training Camp.

Compared with someone's magnificent experience, these relatively ordinary officers, like most others, took up their posts after graduation, either guarding one side or stationed at the headquarters waiting for orders.

With excellent talents and talents, you will be promoted step by step.

"But we haven't seen that Darren guy for a long time, right?"

After drinking a glass of strong wine, Huo Shaoshan suddenly said something with emotion.

Ghost Spider raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"Recent information shows that Lieutenant General Darren had a fierce battle with Roger on Fish-Man Island, and the Roger Pirates fled."

After the words fell, everyone else fell silent, with different expressions, and gradually became less interested.

He also graduated from the third training camp. Darren is already on the front line, fighting like Lieutenant General Garp with the most powerful pirates in the sea, but they are here to fight for the Fire Mountain. Celebrating the promotion of a pirate group with a bounty of over 100 million to Major General.

Although they have exceeded countless people in terms of strength and military rank promotion speed, compared with that monster, they are completely different.

"You guys don't even call me for midnight snacks, you're not being honest."

At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look, only to see Darren slowly walking over with a smile on his lips and Jiaji behind him.

"Darren!"

Huo Shaoshan's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly.

"Sit down, you are the protagonist today."

Darren pushed the bearded guy back to his seat, then casually found a seat and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth without any gesture.

Looking at him with such a casual look, it seemed like he was back to the scene where he made jokes in the military academy. For some reason, most of the grudges in the hearts of everyone present disappeared, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Why are you back?"

Dauberman asked curiously.

Darren handed out cigars to everyone skillfully and replied casually:

"I had a fight with Roger and was almost killed. I won't come back to recuperate now."

He put the cigar in his mouth, lit it, and puffed away.

"And haven't we been together for a long time?"

Everyone looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

It seems...nothing has changed at all.

After drinking a few glasses of strong wine, feeling the warmth in my stomach, the previous boredom slowly faded away, and a bit of comfort emerged.

Looking at the obviously mature but still familiar faces of the guys in front of him, he suddenly felt his mood improved.

It was only a few months since they last met, but it felt like a long time had passed.

He just sat there quietly, listening to his former classmates tell all kinds of anecdotes about the recent events in the Navy Headquarters.

Who killed a pirate and got promoted, who was transferred to the branch as the base leader, and Garp stole half a box of senbei from the Warring States General...

"By the way, I heard that the fourth training camp is about to start. Teacher Zefa seems to be making some reforms and hiring some external instructors for teaching guidance."

Huo Shaoshan mentioned something at this time.

"It seems to be true, but is this external instructor really okay?" Dalmesia said vaguely while gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Who knows, but it is estimated that the teaching quality will definitely decline." Ghost Spider sneered.

"That's right, after all, it means that it is not Mr. Zefa who teaches the whole time." Kaji laughed.

"By the way, Darren, you have a high position, do you know who the special instructor will be? Could it be Sakaski and Borsalino?" Huoshaoshan scratched his head.

The moment these two names came out, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Even the cold-tempered Ghost Spider couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Those two guys, one cold and cruel, the other lazy and funny, it is really hard to imagine what they looked like when they were instructors.

They couldn't help but have these two weird pictures in their minds:

"Learn the iron block within today, if you can't learn it, then learn it in the next life." Sakaski said coldly to a freshman with an expressionless face, and black smoke began to come out of his right arm.

"What a terrible talent, it took only three months to learn the iron block..." Borsalino said with a half-smile.

"..."

"It's me." Darren shook his head.

Everyone: ...

I've even become an instructor! ?

They sighed in their hearts.

So, it has changed...

"Hahahaha!! Darren!! I knew you were back!!"

At this time, a passionate voice suddenly came from the door of the tavern.

Kuzan pointed at Darren with one hand, his eyes glowing with excitement.

"I heard that you and Roger had a fight! Damn it!! If I had known, I would have gone on vacation with Vice Admiral Garp!!"

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Today, let's have a fight and decide the winner!!"

Bang!

Darren suddenly kicked over the chair, stepped on the table, and said with a fierce smile:

"Of course no problem!"

...

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

He hit the scissors with his fist.

"Hahahaha!! I lost! You are worthy of being my opponent, Kuzan, who predicted my prediction!!"

Kuzan laughed loudly, picked up a can of beer and drank it.

His face flushed, and hot air came out of his nose:

"Keep going!"

Darren's eyes surged with a strange red light, and he continued to punch with a smile.

Watching the two guys playing rock-paper-scissors, Huoshaoshan and others were all frowning.

But gradually, they couldn't help laughing.

Yes, nothing has changed.

————

The next day.

Darren woke up refreshed. For a physique like him, a hangover is simply impossible.

Thinking of the absurdity of last night, a group of them got drunk, sneaked into the military restricted area in Marinford in the middle of the night, stole a large number of bombs and gunpowder from the armory, and then ran to the abandoned military port to set off all the fireworks in one breath...

And the scene of the furious Zhan Guo chasing and cursing later, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

As they get older, everyone has a family and a partner, and military affairs are getting busier and busier. Maybe time for gatherings like this will become more rare in the future.

Without worrying about sighing, Darren simply washed up, changed into a brand new military uniform, and pushed the door out.

He is looking forward to today's itinerary.

-Because today is the opening ceremony of the fourth term of the officer training camp.
