Chapter 17 The Scale of the Demon-Slaying Order

"It seems that the Warring States General is serious this time and has actually granted you the power to launch the Demon-Slaying Order."

The warship sailed on the sea at a stable and high speed. Porusalino walked slowly to Daren's side, smiling half-smilingly.

Darren stood on the bow of the warship, with the cool sea breeze blowing in his face, which was refreshing.

He smiled and said:

"The Warring States General was just too cautious. He would not use the Demon-Slaying Order to deal with a mere Douglas Barrett."

He looked back at the sea around the warship.

In addition to the main battleship at their feet, there were nine other huge heavy warships cruising around the main battleship on the sea, advancing in a fixed formation.

The most terrifying thing is that the size of each warship here is extremely astonishing. It is twenty to thirty meters high and floats on the sea like a terrifying war monster.

The hull is heavily armored and is basically wrapped with the strongest wood and steel. The railings are covered with rivets. The height of the plywood alone is at least ten meters above sea level. Standing on the deck and looking at the sea is a direct overlooking vision.

If compared with the Sonny of the Straw Hat Pirates, the size of the Demon-Slaying Order warship is at least five times that of the Sonny!

Coupled with the dense artillery, basically every warship is equipped with three movable turrets with a total of nine cannons, and there are 12 cannons on each side - 6 armored ones at the top and 6 unarmored ones at the bottom.

The outer wheels of the power system are mounted on both sides of the hull.

There are also layers of building structures built on the deck of the warship, in which a sea of ​​naval soldiers can clearly be seen standing guard at their posts with solemn expressions.

Even Darren, who established the North Sea Fleet, was secretly surprised by such an exaggerated formation.

This is the Demon-Slaying Order! !

Every warship of the Demon-Slaying Order is a war fortress that drinks blood, and is a terrifying beast that destroys cities and demolishes villages.

And this fierce artillery is only part of the power of the Demon-Slaying Order.

In addition to its ferocious firepower, the truly terrifying aspect of the Demon-Slaying Order is its troop configuration.

Each Demon-Slaying Order warship carries at least a thousand naval elites. You must know that in the original plot, Fujitora's fleet of Doflamingo was only a main battleship capable of carrying 800 people.

Ten warships, more than 10,000 elite troops, including at least 100 general-level officers of the Navy Headquarters, and five lieutenant generals... The power of the Demon-Slaying Order is enough to easily wipe out an island or even a country. !

In fact, the purpose of the Demon-Slaying Order is precisely this!

The Navy Headquarters is authorized by the World Government to form the Wind Slaying Demon Order, which carries out indiscriminate and devastating attacks on the areas where the signal is sent, and is used to completely eliminate things and people in an area that pose a threat to the rule of the World Government. ,

Such ten giant warships, armed to the teeth, form a fleet and sail on the sea. They are like an indestructible torrent of steel, majestic and full of terrible oppression.

In Darren's view, launching the demon-slaying order against Barrett was like swatting mosquitoes with a cannon.

Porusalino shrugged and said:

"The old man from the Warring States Period is not cautious, he is anxious to declare force..."

"After all, the Navy Headquarters failed to achieve success in the Battle of Ate Wall. You were the only one who killed the Golden Lion."

Darren glanced at Porusalino in surprise. He didn't expect that this secretive guy would tell these political secrets so frankly.

"What's that look in your eyes...I'm just a part-timer."

Porusalino raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and spoke slowly.

Darren smiled.

Indeed, aside from killing the Golden Lion, the Navy really didn't achieve much in the Battle of Ate Wall.

That "sudden" storm was Dorag's handiwork, but it could only be placed in the "accidental" column on the battle report.

Therefore, annihilating the Flying Pirate Fleet is not considered an achievement.

And what about after the storm?

As the commander, he diverted the Golden Lion, and the general of Sengoku Headquarters naturally accepted the task of temporary command and launched an encirclement and suppression of the "big crippled" Roger Pirates.

But in the end it was all in vain.

Judging from the seriousness of Warring States' action, Darren could tell that he urgently needed a military exploit to prove himself.

Barrett was just unlucky enough to hit the muzzle.

'It seems that Sengoku is trying to manipulate the promotion of navy marshal...'

Darren quickly came to this conclusion in his mind.

With his own qualifications and the support of Marshal Kong Kong, Seng Guo is indeed qualified to be promoted to Navy Marshal.

But he lacked military exploits.

After all, among the three naval pillars of the same era, Warring States was indeed at a disadvantage in terms of military exploits and reputation.

Although Garp was suspected of picking up the pieces, he managed to put an end to Rocks' ambitions in the Valley of the Gods, and also arrested and imprisoned the "lonely red" Baloric Redfield. His military exploits were well deserved.

Although Zefa has never conquered a legendary pirate, he has made countless military exploits in his life and has a great reputation in the military. In addition, after he was transferred to the chief instructor position, he has trained many outstanding naval officers. He is famous all over the world and has won the love and respect of countless navy. Respect.

In this way, it seems that the "wise general" of the Warring States Period had mediocre military achievements.

If it weren't for the support of Marshal Kong, and if Garp and Zefa were not interested in power, the position of Navy Marshal would have nothing to do with the Warring States Period.

But then again, the position of navy marshal is indeed not suitable for Zefa and Garp.

On the one hand, he has to face many subordinates who do not obey orders, and on the other hand, he has to withstand the pressure of the world government... This job is not something ordinary people can do.

So angry.

"So, I heard that you and Barrett have a pretty good relationship?"

Porusalino said suddenly.

Darren did not deny it, nodded and said:

"After all, they were once locked up in the same prison, and they briefly joined forces to deal with Kaido."

"It is precisely because of this relationship that the Warring States General sent me to carry out this mission."

"The Demon-Slaying Order is only a deterrent. Recruiting Barrett is more valuable than killing him."

Porusalino smiled and said:

"If it succeeds, there will be two people among the seven warriors under the king who will be awarded the title by you personally, Lieutenant General Darren."

Darren's eyes moved slightly and he smiled:

"It's just a coincidence."

"Besides, your noble King Shichibukai will not obey my orders."

He paused, turned around and looked up at the sea in the distance.

On the distant sea, the outline of an island gradually emerged, and the sky above the island was vaguely filled with thick smoke.

"Here we are, let's talk later, Porusalino."

Darren said something, and his figure suddenly rose up and flew towards the distant island.

Porusalino stayed where he was, an interesting smile flashed under his exaggerated toad sunglasses, stroking the stubble on his chin with one hand, watching Darren disappear into the sky, and murmured in a low voice:

"So, have you chosen the candidates for the King's Shichibukai... yet, Darren?"
