Chapter 231 The Strongest Fleet
The combat power of the imperial general level is the top combat power in this sea. Only by truly stepping into this level can one enter the ranks of "gold medal players".
This is the threshold between the truly strong and the weak. Some people cannot cross it even if they work hard for a lifetime, but there are also some monsters with talents like monsters who can easily walk into this magnificent palace.
The flying squirrel's potential is already good enough, and with the thunder fruit now given by Darren, it is not impossible for him to step into this level.
The flying squirrel rolled his eyes at Darren's words.
This guy said it easily, but in fact, no one except him knew how much time and energy Flying Squirrel had spent in developing the power of the Thunder Fruit in the past six months.
What Flying Squirrel didn't tell others was that as he watched Darren become stronger day by day, an indescribable sense of anxiety and urgency was constantly growing in the former's heart.
Not out of jealousy.
But he was always afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up with Darren.
What if... Although this seems unlikely to happen... But what if... One day, Darren, a guy who is as strong as a monster, encounters a powerful enemy that cannot be defeated, or falls into a dilemma of a narrow escape. middle……
What if that time really comes and he needs the help of his deputy, but he is too weak to support him?
The flying squirrel couldn't imagine that scene at all.
As if he saw something, Darren patted the flying squirrel on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, just let things take their own course."
"How has the fleet developed in recent times?"
Speaking of business, Flying Squirrel immediately got into working mode, and his expression quickly became serious:
"It's not bad. With the foundation you laid, the situation in Beihai is pretty stable."
"As for the Don Quixote family, since the last reminder given to Doflamingo, he has become more at ease, and the fleet's tax revenue has shown a steady upward trend as a whole."
Darren nodded.
He knew the "warning" that Flying Squirrel gave to Doflamingo, which is why he gave the Thunder Fruit to Flying Squirrel.
"That boy, Dover, has such a character. He is arrogant and arrogant. Sometimes I really don't know how to discipline him. Without a good way, only practical lessons can make him calm down a little bit."
Darren said with emotion on his face.
Flying Squirrel: "..."
You have really put yourself into the role of "father".
"...You caused such a big incident in the New World this time. It is estimated that the Don Quixote family will be at peace for a long time."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Golden Lion Shiji's fleet was annihilated by you like this... You are really ruthless. I heard that Golden Lion is a guy who will take revenge when he is angry?"
When he said the last sentence, there was a hint of worry and vigilance in Flying Squirrel's tone.
Darren smiled disapprovingly and said:
"I probably won't leave the headquarters in a short time. What can he do?"
"If he really dares to come to Malinfando, then I'm really looking forward to it."
A ruthless murderous intention flashed through Darren's eyes. He raised his hand to gently rub the still painful stab wound on his chest, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"I remember exactly how he cut me."
The flying squirrel was speechless, then smiled reassuringly.
The golden lion Shi Ji will retaliate?
maybe.
But the flying squirrel knew deeply that the guy in front of him was not a kind person.
Darren is a lunatic who dares to kill the Celestial Dragons just because he is unhappy!
A year has passed since the shocking "Dragon Incident". During this period, the Flying Squirrel kept thinking about the reason why Darren took such a huge risk to kill Hildes Saint.
Is it because you feel pity for the civilian father and daughter?
Maybe.
But with Darren's calm character, he would never do such an impulsive thing out of momentary pity;
Is it because of his pride and responsibility as the "King of the North Sea"? Is it because of the rule he set that "you must do things after receiving money"?
K.
But the flying squirrel knows that responsibilities, obligations, rules, and other things are actually insignificant to Darren.
...These are not the reasons why Darren took action.
The real reason that made Darren take action to kill Hildes Saint, an arrogant Tianlong man, was actually hidden in the last words Darren said to him that day.
——"That guy's expression is so disgusting, it makes me have the urge to kill him... I still can't control it no matter what."
I don't like him, he makes me feel bad, so I want to kill him...even if he is a Celestial Dragon, it doesn't matter.
This is the “justice” that Darren practices.
——"Justice according to one's own will".
Golden Lion Shiji may be eyeing Darren, but isn't Darren already eyeing the Golden Lion?
The Flying Squirrel had never seen Darren suffer at the hands of anyone.
"By the way, how is the development progress of the fleet's laser weapons?"
Darren thought of Porusalino's words.
A smile appeared on the flying squirrel's face and he said:
"very smooth."
"Vinsmoke Judge is indeed one of the top scientists in this sea. He has successfully deconstructed the energy core of laser weapons and transformed them."
"According to my current development progress of the Thunder Fruit, each charge of the laser weapon takes 3 minutes. After one charge, it can release at least 50 laser cannons."
"In the past six months, the size of the fleet has expanded from the original 10 ships to 20 warships, and it is still expanding steadily at a rate of two ships per month."
"As of now, our North Sea Fleet now has a total of 20 main battleships, each of which is equipped with at least 5 laser cannons and 5 conventional heavy artillery, and there are also 8 supply warships."
"According to your previous idea, it is estimated that in the second half of the year, the size of the North Sea Fleet will expand to about 25 ships, and all the weapons carried will be updated and replaced, and a large-scale maritime combat fleet will be officially formed."
Darren nodded with satisfaction.
He fully recognized the work ability of the flying squirrel, especially in handling military affairs. He was more patient and even better than himself.
Although he had gradually withdrawn from the daily affairs of the North Sea Fleet, Darren also gave a blueprint for the development of the fleet with the vision and knowledge of modern people.
A modern maritime fleet far beyond this era!
Replace the traditional wooden structure with high-quality alloys, replace natural wind power with efficient energy as power, and replace backward gunpowder shells with advanced laser weapons...
After the transformation of Germa 66, the warships of the North Sea Fleet have gradually had some shadows of modern battleships.
The cost of manufacturing, transformation, weapons and other aspects of the warships is more than five times that of the warships of the same level in the Navy Headquarters!
If Darren had not plundered the wealth of the Sky Island Golden Town, he would not have been able to build such a terrifying fleet even if he emptied the entire North Sea.
And this North Sea Fleet, armed to the teeth, will also become his most powerful force and confidence in the future!
