Chapter 228

The two of them were very happy.

When Darren and Borsalino left the Marshal's Mansion, Zhan Guo was still standing there, looking like he was about to say something.

"Just say whatever you want to say."

Gang Gu Kong glanced at him and said unhappily.

Zhan Guo, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, couldn't wait to speak:

"Old Kong, are you going to give this Momo fruit to Darren?"

Gang Gu Kong raised his eyebrows, pondered for a few seconds, and said:

"Zhan Guo, I know what you mean."

He slowly exhaled a stream of smoke, and his old eyes flashed with wisdom.

"The Momo Fruit is indeed a force that cannot be underestimated, but that's all."

"Compared to the uncertainty of the Momo Fruit, the strength and potential that Darren showed in this operation are clearly in front of us."

"If he hadn't participated in the battle, it would be uncertain whether you could seize the Momo Fruit this time, let alone annihilate the Flying Pirate Ship Fleet of the Golden Lion."

"And since Darren has already spoken, I will certainly take back the Momo Fruit from him with my power. He may not say anything on the surface, but he will definitely have more or less resentment in his heart."

"You know the character of that kid... If you don't give the Momo Fruit to him this time, maybe he won't go on the next mission for various reasons."

Zhan Guo paused when he heard this.

He thought seriously about Darren's character, and finally found that what Marshal Kong said was indeed very reasonable.

That kid will never let go of a grudge, and he has a clear distinction between love and hate.

He is the kind of person who will not treat you badly if you treat him well.

But if you make him unhappy, he will definitely pay you back double.

After analyzing it this way, things become very simple.

Is it a powerful devil fruit, or a monster with the best potential and strength in this era?

Zhan Guo can still tell which is more important.

"Zhan Guo, you don't have to worry... Although the Momo fruit is given to Darren, who can he give it to?"

Gang Gu Kong suddenly laughed, his eyes confident and domineering.

It was a look of control over everything.

"In the end, this devil fruit will eventually fall into the hands of our navy."

"As for who that person is, it doesn't really matter."

"As long as that person is a member of the navy, that's enough."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo was silent for a long time, and then raised his hand to salute respectfully.

"I understand, Mr. Kong."

"My vision is too narrow."

Steelbone Kong nodded, then frowned and said:

"How many times have I said that when working, we should call each other by their positions!"

Zhan Guo saluted solemnly:

"Yes, Marshal Kong!"

Steelbone Kong: "..."

...

Walking out of the Marshal's Mansion, Darren and Borsalino chatted casually.

"So who are you going to give the Momo Fruit to?"

Borsalino asked seemingly casually.

Darren smiled and said:

"Who knows? There is no rush for this."

If the Momo Fruit is developed properly, its power will be quite amazing.

But for now, Darren does not have a good candidate.

Although the young man named Arthur left a good impression on him, even when facing powerful pirates like Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Daifuku, he resolutely took on his responsibilities.

Darren appreciated this very much.

This is why he wanted to get Arthur from Sengoku.

Those who fear death are not qualified to be his subordinates.

But for some things, willpower and courage alone are far from enough.

In this sea, if you don't have good enough talent, it's not worth cultivating no matter how hard you try.

The truth has always been so cruel.

The kind of scene where you can beat the villain by shouting "Friendship, our bond" may exist in anime, but Darren has never really encountered it.

Of course, with his personality, I'm afraid he wouldn't take it seriously even if he saw it with his own eyes.

Whether the young man named Arthur is really worthy of his vigorous cultivation, it still needs to be observed for a while.

Borsalino glanced at Darren and changed the subject:

"The North Sea Fleet has recently purchased a large number of laser weapons from the Ministry of Science."

He looked at Darren with a smile.

"It seems that the military expenditure there is much more abundant..."

Darren smiled flawlessly:

"I heard from Admiral Flying Squirrel that the economic development of the North Sea has been quite good recently."

Polu

Salino smiled even more:

"Is that so? That's something worth celebrating..."

When he was about to reach the gate of the training camp, he stretched his body.

"Well, I'll go back first. The Science Department has made a lot of new technological breakthroughs recently. If Brigadier General Darren, no, Major General Darren is interested, you can come and have a look when you have time."

Darren nodded and smiled:

"Of course I'm interested. I'll take the time to go there, Lieutenant General Borsalino."

Borsalino smiled, and his figure spread into countless photons and disappeared on the spot.

"What a cunning guy... What are you thinking about, Borsalino?"

Darren stood there, muttering in deep thought.

"Darren!!"

At this time, a cheerful and passionate voice came from the gate of the training camp in the distance.

Darren looked up and saw Kuzan and other people in the training camp walking towards him with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

Kuzan flashed to Darren, clenched his fists, and said excitedly:

"Of course we are here to welcome you!"

"I didn't expect you to actually annihilate the Golden Lion's fleet. This is so cool!!"

Huoshaoshan looked expectant: "So is the Golden Lion Shiki really that strong?"

Doberman gently punched Darren's chest with his fist and smiled heartily: "Welcome back."

Ghost Spider maintained his cold style and said hoarsely: "I really want to fight with you again to see how strong you are now."

Others also surrounded Darren enthusiastically and asked questions curiously.

They were not the core layer of the headquarters, so they could not see the specific battle report. They could only learn about the Coin Island incident indirectly through newspapers and various channels.

Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Darren seemed to feel relaxed and answered their questions one by one with a smile.

At the back of the crowd, Jiaji looked at this scene with an indignant look, and curled his lips and said:

"Tsk, it's just that they destroyed dozens of ships... It's not that they killed the Golden Lion."

Thinking of the scene at the end of the press conference, when a lot of ladies and girls were flirting with Darren, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Brigadier Darren."

Everyone paused, Darren looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a tall figure standing in front of the door of the training camp with a cold expression.

"Lieutenant Colonel Gion." Darren smiled and greeted.

Gion said expressionlessly:

"Can you come over? I have something to talk to you about."

Darren was stunned.

"Okay."

With a swish, the others immediately opened a passage.

Seeing this scene, Jiaji's eyes turned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a treacherous smile.

"Hehehe, Gion looks angry... Darren, that bastard, is going to be in trouble!"

"Beat him up!! Beat him up hard!! Hehehehe!"

...

Half an hour later.

Gion was in the administrative office of the military academy.
