Chapter 228: Positions at Work
After Darren and Borsalino left the Marshal's Mansion, Zhan Guo still stood there, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. [】
"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 puff 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, with my power, of course I will forcibly take back the Momo Fruit in his hand. 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 take revenge for any slight, 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 return it double.
After this analysis, things become very simple.
Is it a powerful devil fruit, or a monster with the greatest potential and strength of 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."
Steel Kong nodded, then frowned and said:
"How many times have I said that when working, you should call your position!"
Zhan Guo saluted solemnly:
"Yes, Marshal Kong!"
Steel 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 has not found 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 admired this very much.
This is also the reason why he wanted to ask Arthur from Zhan Guo.
Those who are afraid of death are not qualified to be your subordinates.
But for some things, will and courage alone are far from enough.
In this sea, if you don't have good enough talent, it is 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 would not agree 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 during this period."
Borusalino smiled even more:
"Is that so? That's really 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 many 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."
Borusalino 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 raised his head and saw Kuzan and other people from the training camp walking towards him with smiles on their faces.
"Why are you here?"
Kuzan rushed to Daren with a few flashes, 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 really cool!!"
Huo Shaoshan looked expectant: "So, is Golden Lion Shi Ji really that strong?"
Dauberman gently punched Darren's chest with his fist and smiled heartily: "Welcome back."
Ghost Spider maintained his cold style and said in a hoarse voice: "I really want to fight you again to see how strong you are now."
Others also surrounded Darren enthusiastically and kept asking curious questions.
They were not the core members of the headquarters, so they were unable to see specific battle reports. They could only indirectly learn about the Coin Island incident 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.
Jiaji, who was at the back of the crowd, looked at this scene with an indignant expression and curled his lips and said:
"Tch, didn't they just destroy dozens of ships... and they didn't kill the Golden Lion."
Thinking of the scene where a lot of ladies and girls were making secret glances at Darren at the end of the press conference, he felt itching with hatred.
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Brigadier General Darren."
After everyone paused, Darren looked around and saw a tall figure standing in front of the training camp door with a cold expression.
"Lieutenant Colonel Gion." Darren greeted with a smile.
Gion said expressionlessly:
"Can you come over here? I have something to do with you."
Darren was stunned.
"OK."
With a swish sound, the others immediately separated into a passage.
When Jiaji saw this scene, he rolled his eyes and couldn't help but curl up a sly smile.
"Hehehehe, Gion looks like this, he is angry... This bastard Darren is going to be in trouble!"
"Hit him!! Beat him hard!! Hey hey hey hey!!"
…
Half an hour later.
Gion's administrative office at the military academy.
The office was in a mess, as if there had been a war.
Pink short top, black hot pants, purple and red stiletto heels...
All kinds of clothes, stationery and papers on the desk were all messy and scattered on the floor.
Darren sat on the spacious and soft sofa, smoking a cigar happily.
Gion, covered in sweat, was wrapped in his white shirt and nestled in his arms like a kitten, his eyes blurred.
"Do you feel better now? Lieutenant Colonel Gion."
Darren looked at the beauty in his arms and smiled frivolously.
