Chapter 45 Which idiot wants to challenge me?
The warship sailed smoothly.
Darren stood on the bow of the warship, with his hands in his pockets and a lit cigar biting in his mouth, looking at the endless sea ahead, lost in thought.
The sea breeze blowing in front of him was biting and cold, causing the broad cloak of justice behind him to flutter.
"Lieutenant General Darren, how should we proceed next!?"
A young naval captain walked over quickly. His slightly youthful face showed a calmness and perseverance that was not for his age. He raised his hand and saluted.
His eyes looked at Darren's back with a bright and adoring light.
Darren came back to his senses slightly, turned his head, and said with a smile:
"You seem to be looking forward to this mission, Arthur."
Arthur said excitedly:
"Yes, after all, this is my first time following Lieutenant General Darren on a mission at sea!"
Darren smiled.
He was very fond of Arthur, a middle-aged young man, especially his gentle temperament that was very similar to Dolag, which always reminded him of Dolag before his "defection".
Optimistic, positive and upward, exuding a strong vitality.
The most important thing is that in the previous battle on "Coin Island", Arthur's courage and will when facing the brothers of the Charlotte family were recognized by Darren.
So Darren kept his promise, asked Warring States for people, and transferred Arthur to his subordinates.
"This mission is very complicated. I think you will be disappointed."
Darren smiled and patted Arthur on the shoulder.
"Go ahead and do your job. I'm looking forward to your performance."
Being patted on the shoulder so affectionately by Darren, Arthur's face flushed with excitement and he saluted again:
"Yes! Lieutenant General Darren, I will definitely work hard!!"
Darren shook his head with a dumb smile as he watched this guy go on patrol like a chicken-blooded man.
At this moment, the phone bug in his arms suddenly rang.
Darren was slightly startled, took out the military phone bug, and connected the signal.
"Flying squirrel, what's wrong?"
"Have you returned to Beihai?"
The flying squirrel's strange voice came from the phone bug:
"Well, but a strange thing happened here in Beihai. After thinking about it, I still have to let you deal with it."
Darren was stunned.
The list of candidates for the Shichibukai under the King was fiercely competitive, and he was originally thinking of taking action to put some pressure on the few guys he selected.
This is busy.
"What's up?"
The military phone bug vividly simulated the strange expression of the flying squirrel and said quietly:
"One of the people you are looking for came to Beihai. He attacked a small base of the Beihai Navy. He did not kill anyone for the time being, but he clamored to challenge the famous "King of Beihai"."
What?
Darren was really confused now.
There is really a guy who breaks into Beihai regardless of life and death, and talks about challenging himself, the "King of Beihai"?
He actually thought the news was a bit funny for a moment.
"So...which idiot is it?"
The flying squirrel said solemnly: "Moonlight Moria."
Darren: "..."
Before this guy was defeated miserably by Kaido, he was really stubborn...
"Okay, I understand, I'll come back."
Darren sighed, feeling that something was a bit absurd.
He didn't go to trouble that guy Moria. Instead, he came to his door.
This actually saved me a lot of effort.
…
North Sea.
327 Naval Base, a branch unit of the 321st Naval Branch.
The three conventional warships at the port have been completely dismembered, and their wreckage is floating in pieces on the sea, with black smoke billowing up.
On the collapsed forts and small military fortresses, a tall figure nearly 7 meters tall was sitting on the top of the ruins, carrying a huge serrated knife with an exaggerated shape on his shoulders and a sinister smile.
He has onion-like dark red hair, a sickly pale skin that has not been exposed to sunlight all year round, a thin figure, two pale horns on the side of his forehead, and pointed ears and teeth that make him smile like a legendary demon, terrifying. Extremely human.
The man wore a shirt with a bat-shaped collar and Gothic art clothing. His cold temperament paired with this special outfit gave him a special artistic temperament.
"Moonlight Moria, you heard me."
The flying squirrel put down the phone bug in his hand, stared at this guy expressionlessly, and said coldly:
"I have informed Darren, now should you keep your promise and return the shadows of the soldiers to them?"
He was in a bad mood, and wisps of blue electric arcs were beating on his fingertips.
I had just rushed back to Beihai from the New World. I didn't even have time to take a sip of tea when I was informed by my subordinates to come over and deal with this guy's matter.
Moonlight Moria, born in the West Sea, has a bounty of 148 million beli.
This guy who was supposed to enter the New World directly from the West Sea through the Great Channel, unexpectedly came to the North Sea regardless of life and death, and even attacked a small branch of their North Sea Navy.
As if for fun or to insult their North Sea Navy, this guy didn't kill anyone, he just took away all the shadows of all the navy in the 327 Naval Base, and used this to threaten to challenge the legendary "King of the North Sea".
"I'm really looking for death..."
The flying squirrel looked at Moonlight Moria who was smiling sinisterly in front of him, and such a thought came to his mind.
He glanced not far away.
The navy soldiers were hiding in dark corners or in dilapidated military fortresses to avoid direct sunlight.
This is the ability of Moonlight Moria.
Shadow Fruit... Moonlight Moria can deprive others of their shadows, and those who are deprived of their shadows must not be exposed to direct sunlight for life. Once exposed to the sun, they will be burned to ashes.
It can be said that as long as the shadow is deprived by Moonlight Moria, the person's life is equivalent to being in his hands to a certain extent.
"Hehehehe, don't be so anxious, he hasn't arrived yet..."
Moonlight Moria laughed arrogantly, and a twisted dark shadow slowly rose behind him. Like a black liquid, it quickly changed its shape and dispersed the surrounding sunlight. It was so weird that it made people shudder.
"I have heard the name 'King of the North Sea' many times even in the West Sea. I have always been very curious about how strong this guy who killed the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiji is..."
With a face full of jest, he looked down at the naval colonel in front of him and said with a smile:
"I went to sea from my hometown, and fought my way from the Western Sea into the Great Channel. I have never encountered a decent opponent... I conquered the Western Sea, and I also conquered Paradise... But just before I was about to step into the new world, I heard Jin News of lion dying in North Sea.”
"Golden Lion Shiji...hehehehe, that's the guy I've always wanted to challenge."
"So I'm here to conquer the North Sea before entering the new world, so that I can prove myself!"
