Chapter 20 Victory or Defeat

Seeing the appearance of this figure, the whole square instantly boiled.

Especially the reporters from the news organizations were like wolves and tigers, crazily pushing forward to find better shooting angles.

"Hahaha it's Darren!! Darren is finally here!!"

Kuzan, who was originally bored, suddenly stood up, his eyes bursting with blazing light, and he waved his hands excitedly.

Jiaji next to him looked at the cheering crowd, especially the women who kept screaming, and couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered:

"Tch, you're stealing my limelight here again."

But he didn't notice that Gion, who had always remained indifferent next to him, suddenly lit up when he saw Darren appear.

Warring States let out a long breath, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally let go.

If Darren, that brat, hadn't appeared yet, Marshal Kong would have really exploded.

The shouts at the scene were overwhelming.

"That's Brigadier Darren!"

"It is said that he destroyed the Beast Pirates' base camp single-handedly!"

"When did that happen? He destroyed the flying fleet of the great pirate Golden Lion with just one person!"

"Is the sword on his waist the same Yama that pierced the island with one blow?"

"No, that sword is silver-white, and Yama is said to be a black demon sword."

"The monsters of the Navy Headquarters... are not only powerful, but also so outstanding in appearance..."

"Yeah, this doesn't look like a monster at all, more like a perfect knight!"

"You are so handsome!! Mr. Darren, I want to marry you!!"

"I love you, Mr. Darren!!"

"..."

Everyone present was enthusiastic and excited.

Strong strength, abundant wealth, respected status, prominent reputation, handsome appearance, humorous soul... To put it bluntly, Rogers Darren is a man that can be described as perfect.

Men want to be like him, women want to be like him.

Bathed in the admiration of the crowd, Darren walked along the red carpet with a smile.

There was no stage fright or any nervousness.

Darren felt as if he was born for the big scene.

He deserves it all!

The Commodore walked towards the high platform step by step. Under the attention of everyone, he climbed onto the high platform and raised his hand to salute:

"Marshal Kong! General of the Warring States Period! Teacher Zefa!"

A smile of admiration and satisfaction appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time.

Putting aside factors such as strength, talent and talent, Darren's appearance is really confusing.

Sakaski's gloominess, Porusalino's wretchedness, Kuzan's laziness and passion... Compared with them, Darren is simply the most dazzling and capable front man in the Navy!

His mere presence here makes people feel good about him.

Cyborg, Kong, and the three of them consider themselves not that superficial people, but after a comparison, they have to admit that Darren is indeed an excellent candidate in terms of "promoting" the positive image of the Navy.

"Why are you here so late, brat?"

Sengoku glared at Darren.

Zefa smiled and defended:

"Forget it, it didn't delay the business."

After the miserable scene between Kuzan and Jiaji just now, Zefa saw how Darren looked at him and how he liked it.

Cyborg Kong smiled and said:

"Boy Darren, have you been waiting for this day for a long time?"

Darren smiled and said:

"Yes, Marshal Kong."

Cyborg Kong laughed with satisfaction.

He raised his head, and Shen Ning's powerful voice spread clearly through the microphone, echoing in the huge square.

"Commodore Rogers Darren of the Navy Headquarters has achieved brilliant military exploits, performed well in the defense of Marinevando, and graduated with the highest credits from the Navy Headquarters officer training camp..."

Cyborg held his head high and took a brand new navy cloak from the guard.

"After careful decision by the senior management of the Navy, I, in the name of the Supreme Marshal of the Navy, have granted Rogers Darren the rank of Vice Admiral of the Navy!!"

After the words fell, amid the waves of cheers and applause in the venue, Cyborg Kong suddenly unfolded the cloak of justice and put it on Darren's shoulders, smiling mellowly:

"Darren, I hope you will not live up to the expectations of all of us, let alone all the glory and justice on your shoulders."

Darren saluted solemnly:

"All glory to justice!"

Bang bang bang! !

Warm applause rang out like thunder again, and Kuzan was so excited that he almost slapped his palms to pieces and kept muttering, "He is indeed my lifelong rival."

"You brat, now share your feelings with everyone."

Zefa winked at Darren and said.

Darren looked at Cyborg Kong and Sengoku, and they also gave him encouraging looks.

So, the new Vice Admiral smiled and nodded, slowly turned around and came to the microphone.

Seeing Darren's actions, the flood of voices suddenly stopped.

Everyone fell silent, and the entire venue was eerily quiet.

The reporters hurriedly took out their recording tools, paper and pens, looking expectantly.

The gazes of countless pairs of eyes, in this deep silence, weighed heavily on Darren's shoulders.

coming.

Looking at the countless people in front of him, the figures of the naval generals below, and hundreds of cameras, Darren felt a strange ambition brewing rapidly in his heart, and burning like a flame in the depths of his eyes.

Teacher Zefa told him to give an inspiring speech in this public occasion to encourage the low morale of the navy.

Darren narrowed his eyes and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yes, of course I will boost their emotions.

But maybe not to the extent you imagine.

This speech may be his chance.

Darren took a deep breath and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Today is a day worth celebrating."

"As we all know, today's promotion ceremony was largely due to the defense of Marinford that broke out not long ago."

"In that magnificent war, our righteous army crushed the huge ambitions of the legendary pirate Shiki, the Golden Lion."

"He fantasized about attacking Marinford. He wanted to sink the world's strongest fortress into the sea. In order to achieve this goal, he even controlled the fall of an island!"

Darren raised his hand and clenched his fist.

"But he failed!!"

"Yes, he was destined to fail!"

"We have proved an ironclad fact, that is, the navy is the most powerful military organization on this sea! Even the three great pirates, Golden Lion, BIG·MOM and Kaido, have not been able to break through our holy land of justice!"

At this point, the navy in the audience couldn't help but straighten their chests and smile proudly.

Some young navy officers couldn't help but shout excitedly:

"Justice will prevail!"

"Our navy is the most powerful!"

"We are indeed excellent!"

"That's right!"

The people also echoed.

Seeing this scene, the three people behind Darren looked at each other and smiled.

This kid is pretty good.

Listening to the shouts of countless people below, Darren nodded with a smile, waiting for the shouts to subside.

"Yes, justice will prevail, I know this best."

"But--"

The vice admiral suddenly slapped the podium hard with a palm, and his expression suddenly became ferocious.

"This is just bullshit that deceives yourself!!"

The harsh and cold scream made everyone in the square feel like they were struck by lightning, and they gasped immediately.

"This is not a glorious victory at all!"

Darren's eyes burst out with amazing murderous intent, and he waved his arms vigorously. The faces of the three people behind him, including Steel Bone Kong, Warring States and Zefa, suddenly changed.

"The Battle of Marinford... was just a complete failure!!"

I ask for everything, and I am grateful.
