Chapter 339
Abandoned military port.
The afterglow of the setting sun turned into red clouds, gradually infiltrating the distant horizon and falling on the ground.
At this time, the military port has turned into a world of ice and snow, with crystal clear ice crystals protruding from the ice surface, and a faint white mist in the air.
With a low "bang", Darren and Kuzan's fists hit each other's faces at the same time, splashing blood foam, and the two staggered back, and then fell to the ground at the same time.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
The two lay on the snow-covered ground with their arms and legs spread out, gasping for breath, their faces bloody and swollen.
"Hahahahaha!! It's so refreshing!! It turns out that only a duel with you is the most exciting!"
Kuzan didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face, and laughed wantonly, with sincere joy in his smile.
It was a kind of pleasure to meet a worthy opponent.
Darren rolled his eyes in annoyance and "pulled" his feet out of the ice, and the ice crystals around him shattered with a crackling sound.
"Your devil fruit ability restricts my movements too much, and it's boring to fight."
However, it can be seen that there is still a feeling of exhilaration in his eyes.
Kuzan turned his head and glanced at Darren, grinning:
"You held back, right?"
Darren did not comment.
Kuzan is indeed a genius who has won 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 has he further developed the devil fruit to a higher level on the original basis, but he has also mastered the domineering, and under Garp's teaching, his original biggest weakness - close combat - has also been completely transformed.
Judging from the previous fight, Kuzan's strength has exceeded the elite vice admiral of the headquarters.
Even so, compared to Darren, a powerful freak in all aspects, Kuzan still has a long way to go.
But this is enough to shock Darren.
"You are worthy of me, Darren... It seems that I have to practice harder!"
Seeing that Darren did not deny it, Kuzan was not frustrated or disappointed. Instead, the light in his eyes became more and more blazing, and the flame of competition ignited in his heart.
Darren smiled, and just when he was about to speak-
A sharp and piercing sound suddenly came from a distance.
Rapid, depressed, revealing anxiety and tension.
Darren and Kuzan's faces changed at the same time, and they sat up suddenly from the ground, looking solemnly in the direction of the military zone.
This is... the alarm of Marinford!
What happened?
With their eyesight, they could vaguely see that the cruising naval ports on the other side of the oval naval port were quickly returning to the port, and the dense footsteps of the navy soldiers kept coming.
"Brigadier General Darren!! Colonel Kuzan!!"
At this time, a panicked figure ran into the abandoned military port.
It was a messenger.
The young messenger saluted breathlessly and said in a deep voice:
"General Sengoku has ordered that from now on, the Marine Headquarters in Marinford will officially enter a state of martial law. Please return to your respective family quarters as soon as possible and report the specific status in time."
"Ah, it seems that something extraordinary has 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.
Information involving confidentiality generally cannot be disclosed at will.
Kuzan's rank is currently only the colonel of the headquarters, which is not high enough.
Darren frowned, and instantly figured out the complicated joints, 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 Major General of the Headquarters."
The messenger thought for a while, and then replied:
"The world noble Celestial Dragon was killed in the New World, and Admiral Sengoku has gone to sea to deal with it."
The Celestial Dragon... was killed?
Darren was slightly stunned when he heard this.
This is a rare thing.
As a world noble, the Celestial Dragon is the existence that stands at the pinnacle of power and status in this sea.
With the protection of CP organization members, ordinary small-scale pirate groups cannot kill Celestial Dragons.
And the pirate groups that can thrive in that sea area have the ability to kill, but generally either dare not kill or are too lazy to kill.
After all, killing Celestial Dragons will attract the personal dispatch of the Navy Admiral, and even the endless pursuit of the World Government.
Normally, no one would do such an unprofitable deal to cause endless trouble just to kill a Celestial Dragon.
Not everyone can be like me, with the identity of a navy.Cover, and create all kinds of suspense and cover-up to hide all traces.
At this moment, Darren always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why.
"Then the subordinates will leave first, I still have to convey orders to other departments."
The messenger saluted again, and then left in a hurry.
"It's really troublesome. I was thinking about going out to sea to play before graduation."
Kuzan came over and said with annoyance.
Darren shook his head:
"Let's go back first. Since the Warring States generals have been dispatched, there will probably be news soon."
"Okay."
Kuzan scratched his head boredly.
The two then walked out of the abandoned military port quickly and walked towards the family compound.
The sharp and piercing alarms continued to sound, and a low noise came from the loudspeaker installed on the street lamp:
"Marinford has officially entered a state of martial law. All citizens are requested to return home in a calm and orderly manner... Don't be nervous, stay calm."
"I remind you again that Marinford has officially entered a state of martial law. All citizens are requested to return home in a calm and orderly manner!"
On the way back to the family compound, Darren and Kuzan frowned frequently as they watched the hurried civilians and the navy team responsible for maintaining order.
A torn newspaper fell on the deserted street in the cold wind, and the depressing and tense atmosphere permeated every corner of Marinford.
"Really, it's just that a Celestial Dragon died... Is it necessary to react so strongly?"
Kuzan muttered a few words in a low voice, and it was clear that he was dissatisfied with the martial law that caused his plan to go fishing to be stranded.
Darren pursed his lips.
It's his fault.
Since he killed Shields Saint last time, the trust of the World Government in the Navy has been broken.
Coupled with the "defection" of Dragon, this doubt and distrust have been aggravated.
So this time, the Celestial Dragons 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'll go home first."
Darren threw down a sentence and walked quickly towards home.
He was not worried about Gion, after all, he grew up in the military department.
But he was still a little worried about Tianyueshi.
