Chapter 45 Which Idiot Wants to Challenge Me?

The warship sailed steadily.

Darren stood at the bow of the warship, his hands in his pockets, a lit cigar in his mouth, looking at the endless sea in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

The sea breeze blowing in his face was icy and biting, blowing the wide cloak of justice behind him to flutter.

"Lieutenant General Darren, how should we proceed next!?"

A young naval captain walked over quickly, with a calmness and determination that did not belong to this age between his eyebrows in his slightly immature face, and raised his hand to salute.

His eyes looking at Darren's back exuded a bright and admiring light.

Darren came back to his senses slightly, turned his head, and smiled:

"You seem to be looking forward to this mission, Arthur."

Arthur said excitedly:

"Yes, after all, this is my first time to go out to sea with Lieutenant General Darren to perform a mission!"

Darren smiled.

He had a good impression of Arthur, a young man in his twenties, especially his gentle temperament, which was very similar to that of Dragon, which always reminded him of Dragon before "defection".

Optimistic, positive, and upward, he exuded a vigorous vitality.

And most importantly, in the previous battle of "Coin Island", Arthur's courage and will in the face of the Charlotte family brothers were recognized by Darren.

So Darren kept his promise, asked Sengoku for people, and transferred Arthur to his subordinates.

"This mission is very complicated, I guess you will be disappointed."

Darren smiled and patted Arthur's shoulder.

"Go, do your own work, I look forward to your performance."

Arthur was so excited that his face flushed when Darren patted his shoulder so kindly, and saluted again:

"Yes! Lieutenant General Darren, I will definitely work hard!!"

Looking at the boy who was on duty and patrolling like a chicken blood, Darren shook his head with a smile.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.

Darren was slightly startled, took out the military Den Den Mushi and connected the signal.

"Flying Squirrel, what's wrong?"

"Have you returned to the North Sea?"

The Den Den Mushi came out with a strange voice of the Flying Squirrel:

"Well, but a strange thing happened in the North Sea. I thought about it and decided that I still have to let you deal with it."

Darren was stunned.

The list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea was fiercely competitive, and he was thinking about taking action to put some pressure on the guys he had chosen.

He was busy.

"What's the matter?"

The military Den Den Mushi vividly simulated the strange expression of the Flying Squirrel, and said faintly:

"One of the people you are looking for came to the North Sea. He attacked a small base of the North Sea Navy. He didn't kill anyone for the time being, but he clamored to challenge the famous "King of the North Sea."

What?

Darren was really confused this time.

There was actually a guy who broke into the North Sea without knowing the consequences and said he wanted to challenge himself, the "King of the North Sea"?

For a moment, he actually thought the news was a little funny.

"So... which idiot is it?"

The flying squirrel said in a deep voice: "Moonlight Moriah."

Darren: "..."

Before this guy was defeated by Kaido, he was really stubborn...

"Okay, I know, I'll come back."

Darren sighed, feeling that some things were absurd.

He didn't go to Moriah for trouble, but he went to his door instead.

This saved him a lot of effort.

...

North Sea.

327 Naval Base, a branch unit under the 321 Naval Branch.

The three conventional warships near the port have been completely dismembered, and the wreckage is floating on the sea, with black smoke billowing.

On the collapsed turret and small military fortress, a tall figure with a height of nearly 7 meters sat on the top of the ruins, carrying a huge, exaggerated sawtooth knife on his shoulder, with a sinister smile.

He has dark red hair like onions, his skin is sickly pale from not seeing the sun for many years, he is thin, with two pale horns on his forehead, and his pointed ears and teeth make him look like a legendary devil when he smiles, which is extremely scary.

The man is wearing a shirt with a bat-shaped collar and Gothic art clothing. His cold temperament and this special outfit actually give him a special artistic temperament.

"Moonlight Moria, you heard it."

The flying squirrel put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand, stared at this guy expressionlessly, and said coldly:

"I have informed Darren, now should you keep your promise and return the soldiers' shadows to them?"

He was in a bad mood, and there were blue arcs jumping on his fingertips.

He had just rushed back to the North Sea from the New World without stopping, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea before he was notified by his subordinates to come and deal with this guy's affairs.

Moonlight Moria, born in the West Sea, has a bounty of 148 million Baileys.

This guy who was supposed to go directly from the West Sea through the Grand Line to the New World actually came to the North Sea without knowing the consequences and attacked a small branch of their North Sea Navy.

As if to tease or insult their North Sea Navy, this guy did not kill anyone, but only deprived all the shadows of the navy of the 327 Naval Base, and threatened to challenge the legendary "King of the North Sea".

"He is really looking for death..."

The flying squirrel looked at the Moonlight Moria who was smiling sinisterly in front of him, and such a thought came to his mind.

He glanced at the distance.

The navy soldiers were hiding in dark corners or in dilapidated military fortresses to avoid direct sunlight.

This is the ability of Moonlight Moria.

Shadow Fruit... Moonlight Moria can deprive others of their shadows, and those who are deprived of their shadows must not be exposed to direct sunlight for life. Once exposed to the sun, they will be burned to ashes.

It can be said that as long as the shadow is deprived by Moonlight Moria, the person's life is equivalent to being in his hands to a certain extent.

"Hehehehe, don't be so anxious, he hasn't arrived yet..."

Moonlight Moria laughed arrogantly, and a twisted dark shadow slowly rose behind him. Like a black liquid, it quickly changed its shape and dispersed the surrounding sunlight. It was so weird that it made people shudder.

"I have heard the name 'King of the North Sea' many times even in the West Sea. I have always been very curious about how strong this guy who killed the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiji is..."

With a face full of jest, he looked down at the naval colonel in front of him and said with a smile:

"I went to sea from my hometown and fought my way into the Great Channel from the Western Sea. I have never encountered a decent opponent... I conquered the Western Sea and also conquered Paradise... But just before I was about to step into the new world, I heard Jin News of lion dying in North Sea."

"Golden Lion Shiji...hehehehe, that's the guy I've always wanted to challenge."

"So I'm here to conquer the North Sea before entering the new world, so that I can prove myself!"
