Chapter 231 The Strongest Fleet

The combat power of the imperial general level is the top combat power in this sea. Only by truly stepping into this level can one enter the ranks of "gold medal players".

This is the threshold between the truly strong and the weak. Some people cannot cross it even if they work hard for a lifetime, but there are also some monsters with talents like monsters who can easily walk into this magnificent palace.

The flying squirrel's potential is already good enough, and with the thunder fruit now given by Darren, it is not impossible for him to step into this level.

Hearing Darren's words, the flying squirrel rolled his eyes.

This guy said it easily, but in fact, no one except him knew how much time and energy Flying Squirrel had spent in developing the power of the Thunder Fruit in the past six months.

What Flying Squirrel didn't tell others was that as he watched Darren become stronger day by day, an indescribable sense of anxiety and urgency was constantly growing in the former's heart.

Not out of jealousy.

But he was always afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up with Darren.

What if... Although this seems unlikely to happen... But what if... One day, Darren, a guy who is as strong as a monster, encounters a powerful enemy that cannot be defeated, or falls into a dilemma of a narrow escape. middle……

What if that time really comes and he needs the help of his deputy, but he is too weak to support him?

The flying squirrel couldn't imagine that scene at all.

As if he saw something, Darren patted the flying squirrel on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, just let things take their own course."

"How has the fleet developed in recent times?"

Speaking of business, Flying Squirrel immediately got into working mode, and his expression quickly became serious:

"It's not bad. With the foundation you laid, the situation in Beihai is pretty stable."

"As for the Don Quixote family, since the last reminder given to Doflamingo, he has become more at ease, and the fleet's tax revenue has shown a steady upward trend as a whole."

Darren nodded.

He knew the "warning" that Flying Squirrel gave to Doflamingo, which is why he gave the Thunder Fruit to Flying Squirrel.

"That kid Dover has this kind of character. He is arrogant and arrogant. Sometimes I really don't know how to discipline him. Without a good way, only practical lessons can make him calm down a little bit."

Darren said with emotion on his face.

Flying Squirrel: "..."

You have really put yourself into the role of "father".

"...You caused such a big incident in the New World this time. It is estimated that the Don Quixote family will be at peace for a long time."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Golden Lion Shiji's fleet was annihilated by you like this... You are really ruthless. I heard that Golden Lion is a guy who will take revenge when he is angry?"

When he said the last sentence, there was a hint of worry and vigilance in Flying Squirrel's tone.

Darren smiled disapprovingly and said:

"I probably won't leave the headquarters in a short time. What can he do?"

"If he really dares to come to Malinfando, then I'm really looking forward to it."

A ruthless murderous intention flashed in Darren's eyes. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the still painful stab wound on his chest, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"I remember exactly how he cut me."

The flying squirrel was speechless, then smiled reassuringly.

The golden lion Shi Ji will retaliate?

maybe.

But the flying squirrel knew deeply that the guy in front of him was not a kind person.

Darren is a lunatic who dares to kill the Celestial Dragons just because he is unhappy!

A year has passed since the shocking "Dragon Incident". During this period, the Flying Squirrel kept thinking about the reason why Darren took such a huge risk to kill Hildes Saint.

Is it because you feel pity for the civilian father and daughter?

Maybe.

But with Darren's calm personality, he would never do such an impulsive thing out of momentary pity;

Is it because of his pride and responsibility as the "King of the North Sea"? Is it because of the rule he set that "you must do things after receiving money"?

But the flying squirrel knows that responsibilities, obligations, rules, and other things are actually of no importance to Darren.

...These are not the reasons why Darren took action.

The real reason that made Darren take action to kill Hildes Saint, an arrogant Celestial Dragon, was actually hidden in the last words Darren said to him that day.

——"That guy's expression is so disgusting, it makes me have the urge to kill him... I still can't control it no matter what."

I don't like him, he makes me feel bad, so I want to kill him...even if he is a Celestial Dragon, it doesn't matter.

This is the “justice” that Darren practices.

——"Justice according to one's own will".

Golden Lion Shiji may be eyeing Darren, but isn't Darren already eyeing the Golden Lion?

The Flying Squirrel had never seen Darren suffer at the hands of anyone.

"By the way, how is the development progress of the fleet's laser weapons?"

Darren thought of Porusalino's words.

A smile appeared on the flying squirrel's face and he said:

"very smooth."

"Vinsmoke Gaji truly deserves to be one of the top scientists on this ocean. He has successfully deconstructed the energy core of laser weapons and transformed it."

"Based on my current development progress of the Thunder Fruit, each charging of the laser weapon takes 3 minutes. After one charge, at least 50 laser cannons can be released."

"In the past six months, the size of the fleet has expanded from the original 10 warships to 20 warships, and it is still expanding steadily at a rate of two ships per month."

"As of now, our North Sea Fleet now has a total of 20 main warships. Each warship is equipped with at least 5 laser cannon weapons and 5 conventional heavy artillery. There are also 8 supply warships."

"According to your previous conception, it is estimated that in the second half of the year, the size of the North Sea Fleet will be expanded to about 25 ships, and all the weapons carried will be updated, and a large-scale maritime combat fleet will be officially formed."

Darren nodded with satisfaction.

He highly recognized Flying Squirrel's work ability, especially when it came to handling military affairs. Being more patient, he was even better than himself.

Although he has gradually withdrawn from the daily affairs of the North Sea Fleet, Darren also gave a blueprint for the development of the fleet with a modern perspective and insight.

A modern maritime fleet far beyond this era!

Replace traditional wood structures with high-quality alloys, replace natural wind power with efficient energy, and replace outdated gunpowder shells with advanced laser weapons...

After the transformation of the Germa 66, the warships of the North Sea Fleet now have some shadows of modern battleships.

The cost of manufacturing, modifying, and carrying weapons on warships is more than five times that of warships of the same level at the Navy Headquarters!

If Darren hadn't plundered the wealth of Sky Island Golden Land, he wouldn't have been able to build such a terrifying fleet even if he emptied the entire North Sea.

And this North Sea Fleet, which is armed to the teeth, will also become the most powerful force and confidence under his command in the future!
