Chapter 37: The Warring States Period
"Why is this happening!? What on earth is going on! I need an explanation, Warring States!"
When Darren and Polusalino walked slowly to the general's office, they could hear the angry roar of a cold voice across a corridor.
"... out of the 17-strong Shichibukai roster, only 5 are left alive! The adults are very dissatisfied with this!"
Darren frowned.
There were only a few prominent figures in the Navy Headquarters, but he had never remembered this voice before. It was very unfamiliar.
Moreover, he noticed that outside the door of the admiral's office, the two naval guards on duty stood there shivering, pretending to be deaf as if they did not hear what was said in the office.
"This is……"
Darren cast a questioning look at Porusalino.
Porusalino shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless and murmured in a low voice:
"The list of candidates for the Shichibukai is highly confidential. Apart from important officials within the government and senior CP agents, the only people in the navy who are qualified to know are Marshal Cyborg Kong and General Sengoku..."
"Now that the candidates for the Shichibukai are being massacred one after another by unknown forces, the government has judged that the people who did this are probably targeting the King's Shichibukai, and it has begun to wonder if someone has leaked the list."
He pointed to the door of the general's office and grinned:
"Isn't it true that the CP department came to you immediately?"
Darren raised his eyebrows and said with interest:
"So the CP side suspects that the murderer behind the hunt for the Shichibukai candidates is related to the Warring States General?"
Porusalino said with a half-smile:
"Who knows, but the Navy Headquarters has always been opposed to the establishment of the Shichibukai system."
"And Admiral Sengoku is the only person in the navy who knows the list, so it's normal for CP to have doubts."
"The poor Warring States general... took the blame for the real murderer..."
He glanced at Darren casually as he spoke.
Darren pretended not to see the guy's playful look and walked straight to the office door.
When the two navy soldiers saw Darren and the two, they were shocked and hurriedly raised their hands to salute.
Darren waved his hand and pushed the door directly in.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Seng Guo standing there with a red face, slapping the table angrily and saying:
"So are you doubting me!?"
"I have been in the army for decades. I have risen from an ordinary private to the admiral of the navy today. I have defeated many pirates and performed many tasks for the government... How dare you doubt me!?"
He was panting and seemed very angry.
As he finished speaking, he saw Darren and Porusalino walking in one after the other.
"General of the Warring States Period, are you looking for me?"
Darren saluted with a military salute and his eyes inadvertently fell on the other two figures with cold auras in the office.
Their bodies were wrapped in a loose white silk robe, exuding a cold aura, and their faces were covered by masks imprinted with strange patterns, making it impossible to identify their true identities.
The world government's top spy agency...CP0!
CP0 on the left is slightly taller and wearing a black mandala-patterned mask. He was the one who questioned Sengoku just now.
The other person was wearing a fox mask, with long, slightly curly golden hair scattered from under the mask. The graceful body curves under the white silk could be vaguely seen, and he was wearing a pair of red stiletto heels.
This CP0 is a woman.
She seemed stunned for a moment when she saw Darren.
Darren narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of amusement.
I met an acquaintance, what a coincidence...
"Well, Darren boy, you're here."
When Zhan Guo saw Darren and the others walking into the office, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said harshly:
"This is a CP member sent by the government. Its main task is to investigate the murder of the Shichibukai candidate. Porusalino should have told you the relevant information, right?"
Darren nodded and smiled:
"I know all the relevant information, General of the Warring States Period."
"but……"
He looked at the two CP0s, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"It seems like you two are not very satisfied with our navy's answer?"
Seeing Darren's look, the female CP0 seemed to have noticed something bad, and subconsciously took half a step back.
The other person was unmoved and sneered sarcastically:
"This should be the famous 'King of the North Sea', Lieutenant General Darren, who just killed the great pirate Golden Lion Shiji, right?"
"But what's going on with this unabashed murderous intent?"
"I am a member of the world government's top intelligence agency, and I came here on the order of Lord Five-Old Star——"
Before he finished speaking, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
"How dare you!"
An extremely sharp black light suddenly passed through the window, and with a terrifying impact that killed everything, it was instantly delivered to the man.
"Don't be impulsive, Darren!!"
Zeng Guo's face changed slightly and he exclaimed.
clang! !
boom! !
A sharp explosion that almost shattered the eardrums suddenly sounded, and then a strong wind exploded in the office like the roar of a dragon, rolling up papers all over the sky.
As if he was hit by a cannon, CP0 was knocked back several meters, and the impact of the air wave caused large cracks on the wall of the office.
A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down the chin of the CP0 member.
His hands were covered with armed color domineering, and he tightly grasped a black knife with a demonic aura.
The powerful impact of the demonic knife caused a large number of sparks to splash in his palms, and the handle of the knife shook constantly.
The sudden change made everyone present suddenly change color.
Only Borsalino looked like he was watching the fun, sitting on the sofa by himself, crossing his legs.
"Are you crazy! How dare you attack me!?"
After being stunned for a second, the CP0 finally came back to his senses from shock and fear, and an angry roar came from under the mask.
He couldn't believe it.
This navy kid actually dared to attack him in front of so many people!
However, what he found even more unbelievable was that if he had reacted a little slower, he would probably be a corpse now!
Looking at the demon sword in front of him that exuded a gloomy ghost aura, CP0 swallowed uneasily.
Demon sword, Yan Mo!
The peerless demon sword that swallowed the Momo fruit, under the control of this navy, has the terrifying destructive power to destroy a small island with one blow!
"It's really worthy of being a senior agent carefully trained by the World Government. He actually blocked Yan Mo's "ten times faster" shooting."
Darren tilted his neck and smiled:
"This CP0 master, do you know what the fastest shooting speed of Yan Mo can reach?"
"It's 50 times."
Darren sighed:
"That's five times the speed just now."
As soon as the voice fell, CP0 felt a piercing chill on his back, and his pores stood up.
His face was extremely ugly.
