Chapter 187 A battle of scum?

Golden Lion Shiji! ?

The legendary great pirate, a peak powerhouse as famous as Roger and Whitebeard, is even more dangerous than the latter two according to the assessment of the Navy Headquarters!

The moment he heard the name, Darren's eyes froze, and Garp and Kuzan next to him were also slightly startled.

"Hey, hey, Darren hasn't even graduated from the training camp yet. Isn't it appropriate for him to deal with that guy Shiji?"

Garp maintained his usual style and spoke unceremoniously.

Although Darren is already very strong, he is still far behind Golden Lion Shiji.

Garp, who has played against the Golden Lion many times, knows this better than anyone else.

Darren also fell silent.

You must know that the golden lion in this time period is not a cripple who was beaten away by Wang Lufei later, but an existence that truly stands at the peak of the sea's combat power!

The terrifying Devil Fruit ability,

Unparalleled two-sword swordsmanship,

Even with his majestic ambition to "dominate the world and roar into the sea"... Darren has no doubt that this guy has definitely awakened his domineering aura!

It can be said without any hesitation that, to a certain extent, the Golden Lion at this time is even more difficult to deal with than Roger and Whitebeard, and is even more terrifying!

After all, this guy was a fierce man who was able to break into the Navy Headquarters single-handedly and destroy half of Marine Vando before being defeated by Garp and Sengoku together.

Porusalino shrugged and smiled:

"This is an order from General Sengoku, and the commander of this mission is General Sengoku himself."

Darren's eyes flashed when he heard this.

I see. Do you want to take me with you to contain the golden lion's fluttering fruit ability?

He understood instantly.

So he no longer hesitated and asked with a smile:

"Okay, when will we leave?"

After staying in the headquarters for more than half a year and practicing hard all the time, Darren really wanted to go overseas.

Simply working behind closed doors is not enough. If you want to grow into a truly strong person, actual combat will always be an indispensable part.

And he also wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful that arrogant lion was.

"It will set sail tomorrow, go back and prepare."

After Porusalino said this slowly, his figure dispersed into countless golden lights and disappeared from the spot.

"Well... it's a good choice to go out to sea for some experience. I've already done all the training I need to do. It's just a waste of time to continue training."

Garp looked at Darren at this time and said thoughtfully:

"But boy Darren, don't take it lightly...that bastard Shiki is different from the pirates you have encountered before."

"Roger, Whitebeard, Bundy Waldo...these big pirates who rule the roost in this era, although they are extremely powerful, to a certain extent, these guys are not absolute bad guys."

"Bondi Waldo only wants to fight against the World Government, Whitebeard only wants to protect his family, and as for Roger, that bastard wants to take risks freely... As pirates, they have naturally done it more or less. Bad things, but nothing more than that.”

"But that guy Shiji is different..."

Having said this, Garp's eyes turned slightly gloomy, flashing with solemnity and fear.

"Golden Lion Shiji is a pure pirate."

"Plunder, destruction, fraud, cunning, forbearance, greed... He is not afraid to use any means that can achieve his goals. There is no bottom line at all."

"Coupled with the special nature of his Piao Piao Fruit ability, every time this guy appears and moves, it will give our navy a headache."

Darren nodded and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Garp, I will pay attention."

Seeing Darren's calm reaction, Garp was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party didn't take his instructions seriously.

But the next second he reacted immediately.

Robbery, destruction, fraud, cunning, forbearance, greed, unscrupulous means...

Isn’t this the pirate version of Darren? ?

In other words, isn't Darren the navy's version of the golden lion? ?

Well, I'm just worried about it.

Garp smiled bitterly and shook his head.

With the strength of the Warring States Period, plus Porusalino, it was completely enough to contain Shi Ji.

Coupled with Darren's deviousness and cunningness, I really don't have to worry about them suffering a loss.

Maybe the one who will be unlucky in the end will be that guy Shi Ji.

Thinking of this, Garp instantly understood the reason why Sengoku wanted to bring Darren with him on this mission.

This is to let the "scum of the navy" deal with the "scum of the pirates"...

“This is so cool!!”

At this time, Kuzan finally couldn't restrain his inner excitement, waved his fist and shouted.

He stared at Darren with burning eyes:

"Darren, you are actually going to defeat the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki!!"

He turned to look at Garp with expectant eyes.

"Mr. Karp! I'm going too!!"

"No!"*2

Darren and Karp said in unison.

Kuzan: "..."

Darren didn't want Kuzan, a hot-blooded guy, to be nagging in his ears all the way.

"Kuzan, you still lack the experience to fight against top experts. This mission is too dangerous for you."

Karp said unceremoniously:

"Whenever you learn from me and become a master, you can go."

He looked at Kuzan with eyes full of expectation.

It took a lot of effort to find a seedling who could "understand" his teachings, but he couldn't let him go so easily.

"Hey, Darren, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and leave."

Karp turned his head and waved towards Darren like a fly.

Darren:…

Hey hey hey, do you want to treat them differently?

A few black lines appeared on his forehead.

…

The second day.

When a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon in the distance, Darren had already gotten up early.

The luggage has been packed, and Ah Shi thoughtfully arranged it and placed it in front of the door.

Looking at Ah Shi sleeping soundly, Darren couldn't help but think of the madness when he said goodbye last night and smiled.

"Iron blocks are quite practical."

He stretched out feeling refreshed, and the sea-tower stone shackles made a clattering sound.

After a simple breakfast, Darren picked up his luggage and walked out of his house.

Facing the rising sun,

Darren walked slowly towards the military port.

The home behind me is getting farther and farther away, and the peaceful life seems to be far away.

On the military port.

A large number of naval soldiers were loading boxes of supplies onto the warship. Warring States, who was commanding his men, suddenly paused, turned around, looked at Darren who had arrived at the military port and said with a smile:

"coming?"

Darren raised his hand and saluted:

"Commodore Rogers Darren of the Naval Headquarters, here!"

Warring States glanced at the shackles on Darren's hands in surprise and asked:

"Why are you still wearing this thing?"

Darren smiled and said:

"Once you get used to wearing it, take it off on the way."

Sengoku nodded.

Seeing that ammunition, food and other supplies had been transported, he took Darren aboard the warship.

The sea breeze was cold and there was a chill in the air.

"set sail!!"
