Chapter 241 Martial Law?
Abandoned military port.
The afterglow of the setting sun turned into red clouds, gradually saturating the distant horizon and falling on the earth.
At this time, the land of the military port had turned into a world of ice and snow. Strips of crystal clear ice crystals protruded from the ice, and the air was filled with a light white mist.
With a low "bang" sound, Darren and Kuzan's fists hit each other's faces at the same time. While blood splashed, the two staggered back, and then fell to the ground at the same time.
"Huhuhu..."
The two of them lay sprawled on the snow-covered ground, breathing heavily, their faces bloody and bruised, their noses bruised and their faces swollen.
"Hahahahaha!! It's so enjoyable!! It turns out that the most exciting thing is to have a duel with you!"
Kuzan didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face and laughed wantonly, with genuine joy in his smile.
It is the joy of meeting an opponent in chess.
Darren rolled his eyes angrily and "pulled" his feet out of the ice. The surrounding ice crystals shattered.
"Your Devil Fruit ability restricts my movements too much, making it boring to fight."
However, it can be seen that there is still a hearty feeling in his eyes.
Kuzan turned his head and glanced at Darren, grinning and said:
"You kept it, right?"
Darren was noncommittal.
Kuzan is truly a genius who has earned the title of "monster".
His strength has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past six months, and he is many times stronger than when he first came to the training camp.
Not only did he further develop the Devil Fruit to a higher level based on the original, but he also mastered Haki. Under Garp's guidance, his original biggest weakness - close combat - was completely transformed.
Judging from the previous confrontation, Kuzan's strength has surpassed that of the elite lieutenant generals in this department.
Even so, compared to an all-around powerful freak like Darren, Kuzan still has a way to catch up.
But this was enough to shock Darren.
"As expected of you, Darren... It seems I have to practice harder!"
Seeing that Darren did not deny it, Kuzan not only was not depressed or disappointed, but the light in his eyes became more intense, and the flame of competition ignited in his heart.
Darren smiled, and just when he was about to speak——
A sharp and harsh sound suddenly came from a distance.
Urgent, depressing, with a sense of anxiety and tension.
Darren and Kuzan's expressions changed at the same time. They sat up from the ground and looked solemnly in the direction of the military zone.
This is... the Marinevando siren!
what's going on?
With their eyesight, they could faintly see that on the other side of the oval military port, cruising military ports were quickly returning to the port, and the dense footsteps of naval soldiers kept coming.
"Brigadier General Darren!! Colonel Kuzan!!"
At this time, a panicked figure quickly ran into the abandoned military port.
That was a messenger.
The young messenger panted and saluted a military salute and said in a deep voice:
"The Warring States General has ordered that from now on, the Navy Headquarters Marineland will officially enter a state of martial law. Please return to your respective family homes as soon as possible and report the specific status in a timely manner."
"Ah la la, something terrible seems to have happened? Can you tell me?"
Kuzan patted his butt and stood up from the ground, asking curiously.
The messenger glanced at him and remained silent.
Generally speaking, information involving confidential information cannot be disclosed at will.
Kuzan's military rank is currently only Colonel of the headquarters, which is not high enough.
Darren frowned, figured out the complicated joints in an instant, and said:
"I am the Commodore of the Navy Headquarters. You should also know that after graduating from the training camp, I will be officially awarded the title of Rear Admiral of the Headquarters."
The messenger thought for a moment and then replied:
"The murder of the world's noble Celestial Dragon occurred in the New World, and the Warring States General has gone to sea to deal with it."
The Tianlong people... were killed?
Darren was slightly startled when he heard this.
This is a rare thing.
As the nobles of the world, the Celestial Dragons stand at the pinnacle of power and status in this sea.
With the protection of members of the CP organization, ordinary pirate groups cannot kill the Celestial Dragons.
The pirates who can prosper in that sea area have the ability to kill, but generally they either dare not kill or are too lazy to kill.
After all, killing a Celestial Dragon would lead to the Navy Admiral personally dispatching him, and even the World Government to pursue him relentlessly.
In order to cause endless troubles by killing a Celestial Dragon, normally no one would do such an uneconomical transaction.
Not everyone can use the navy as a cover like themselves, and create all kinds of suspense and cover-ups to hide all traces.
At this moment, Darren always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't explain why.
"Then the subordinates will leave first, and I have to convey orders to other departments."
The messenger saluted again and then left in a hurry.
"It's really troublesome. I still want to go out to sea for fun before graduation."
Kuzan came over and said with annoyance on his face.
Darren shook his head:
"Let's go back first. Since the Warring States generals have been dispatched, there will probably be news soon."
"All right."
Kuzan scratched his head in boredom.
The two of them quickly walked out of the abandoned military port and walked towards the family home.
The shrill sirens were still ringing one after another, and a deep noise came from the large speakers installed on the street lamps:
"Marinvando has officially entered a state of martial law. All people are asked to return home calmly and orderly...Don't be nervous and stay calm."
"As a reminder, Malinfando has officially entered a state of martial law. All people are asked to return home in a calm and orderly manner!"
On the way back to the family home, Darren and Kuzan frowned frequently as they looked at the hurried civilians and the navy team responsible for maintaining order.
A torn newspaper fell to the deserted street in the cold wind, and a depressing and tense atmosphere filled every corner of Malinfando.
"Really, isn't it just that a Tianlong died... As for such a big reaction?"
Kuzan muttered a few words in a low voice, clearly feeling dissatisfied that the martial law this time had put his plan to go fishing on hold.
Darren pursed his lips.
Speaking of which, he has to be blamed for this.
Since the last time he killed Shields Saint, there has been a rift in the World Government's trust in the Navy.
Coupled with the "defection" of that guy Dolag, this feeling of doubt and distrust has been seriously aggravated.
So this time the Tianlong people were killed again. In order to "clear the suspicion", Sengoku simply ordered the entire navy headquarters to enter a state of martial law to avoid any suspicion from the World Government.
"I'm going home first."
Darren said something and walked quickly towards home.
He wasn't worried about Gion, after all, he grew up in the military department.
But Tian Yue Shi was still a little worried.
