One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

Whether you are willing to believe it or not, the current senior naval officials cannot do anything to him at will. Darren now represents the image of the navy to a certain extent.

As long as Darren gives a reasonable explanation and shows enough fairness, the navy's top brass will definitely be willing to believe that Darren is a good sailor.

And they are willing to give Darren enough support for his future work, train Darren with all their strength, and regard him as the future admiral or even marshal of the navy.

"Darren! Very good, a mere governor of the North Sea dares to ruin my plans. Is it because my flying fleet has never been to the North Sea?"

On Sky Island, Shiki tore up the newspaper in his hand and said angrily.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must teach Darren, as well as Krillin and Yamcha who were forced before, a lesson.

Shiqi did not doubt Lind. Shiqi felt that although Lind was very pedantic and soft-hearted, he was a pirate after all and would not do such a thankless task.

In fact, Lind really couldn't do such a thankless task. The whole thing was led by Liu Shen, Krillin and Yamcha.

Lind was not aware of this, let alone being the mastermind behind it.

Even Da Kun and Xuan Niao didn't know why Krillin and Yamcha defected, and they hadn't received or conveyed any relevant orders.

Who would have thought that the undercover agent arranged by Lind would really develop feelings for the navy after serving for a few years and become a real navy.

I don’t know how Liu Chen persuaded Krillin and Yamcha to defect, but he actually succeeded.

As a result, tens of thousands of navy soldiers under the Warring States period also escaped the disaster.

"At this point, we can only find a way to let nature take its course and maximize the value of this matter!"

Linde held a conference call with Da Kun and Xuan Niao in the office.

"I call this plan 'Darren's Rise'. In the future, we will try to tilt the power of the navy towards Darren, and the headquarters must also give Darren enough support."

"Now that Darren has gained such a great reputation, we can't waste it. I think Da Kun is gifted and has the potential to be a great general."

Linde said with a smile that as for Darren, Linde believed he could give him a surprise.

This is the highest-ranking cadre Lind has placed in the navy. Among the governors of the four seas, only Darren is his own man.

Moreover, Darren not only climbed very high, but also had a good reputation and a high level of mastery over the North Sea. Looking at Darren's resume, Lind felt that Darren was also a man of great luck.

Now, he has taken advantage of this opportunity to rise to become the most prestigious person among the younger generation in the navy.

Most importantly, a navy is incomplete without the three admirals.

Now that Sakaski has entered the Oran Empire, the position of general vacant due to Sakaski's absence must be filled by someone else.

Lind thinks Darren is very good and can replace Sakaski as the next generation of naval admiral.

"Although Darren has great talent, it is still very difficult for him to have the strength of a navy admiral. There is a lot of uncertainty."

Linde ignored Da Kun and Xuan Niao's shocked expressions and continued speaking.

"Darren probably hasn't eaten a devil fruit yet. During this time, I will pay attention to whether there is a devil fruit suitable for Darren and improve Darren's foundation and strength."

Lind had a deep impression of Darren.

When Fengyan and Raditz were interviewed, Darren also participated.

Darren's ranking was quite unfortunate, he was just ranked 13th, and missed the 12 devil fruit quotas.

Darren was one of the smartest people in that group, and his character and personality were also very good.

The only disadvantage is age, or you could say talent.

Compared to other people who have the rank of cadre, that is, the strength of major general, before they are 25 years old, Darren, who is years old and still has only the strength of brigadier general, although he has good talent, is obviously much inferior to Feng Yan and others.

But Lind did not expect that once Darren entered the navy, he would be like a dragon returning to the sea, his strength would rise rapidly and his status would continue to improve.

Now he possesses the strength of an elite lieutenant general and may break through to the rank of lieutenant general at any time. His position in the navy is second only to the admiral, the Governor-General of the Four Seas.

Darren's performance in recent years has indeed impressed Lind, but Lind does not have enough confidence whether he can reach the level of the future three generals.

I hope a powerful devil fruit can help Darren take that step, Lind thought.

Even if Darren didn't take that step, it could be regarded as Lind's recognition of Darren's efforts during this period.

Chapter 193: New World Chaos, John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe are out

"Don't worry, General Zhan Guo, I will inform you first if there are similar actions in the future, and I will not act on my own initiative."

At the North Sea Division of the Navy, Darren respectfully hung up the phone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because the navy high-ranking officials did not want to dig deeper, Darren easily covered up the rebellion of Krillin and Yamcha.

In addition, Krillin and Yamcha have not done anything bad since their debut. They are both pirates in an adventure group, much purer than the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work.

So for Darren's sake, the Navy allowed Krillin and Yamcha to make great contributions, and the two of them were directly released and given the rank of vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

However, due to their backgrounds, they probably won't have any real power and can only be used as super soldiers.

According to the discussion of the Navy Headquarters, Krillin, the former captain of the Dorin Pirates, was awarded the rank of Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and temporarily served as the adjutant of the North Sea Governor Darren to assist Darren in handling North Sea related affairs.

Yamcha, the former captain of the Langya Pirates, was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters and temporarily served as the deputy base commander of the Navy's G3 Base, assisting Admiral Sengoku and base commander Lieutenant General Liu Chen in managing the G3 Base and handling matters related to the Flying Pirates.

As for the Governor of the North Sea, Darren, since he had basically reached the top of his official position, there was no way for him to be promoted further. Darren was just given an additional position as a staff officer and deputy chief of staff of the naval headquarters.

In general, everything is moving in a good direction and everyone is quite satisfied with it.

The Navy's arrangement for Darren and the other two was just a small episode in this magnificent era. For Darren and the other two, who were still lieutenant admirals, their time had not really arrived yet.

The sea's attention came and went quickly, and everyone's attention returned to the raging intelligence war and the chaos in the new world.

There is nothing much to say about the intelligence war. No one can understand it and no one can say anything. The real hot topic now is the chaos in the new world.

The New World War began with Zaro's invasion of Wano Country.

The John Pirates were destroyed, and Captain John disappeared, which added fuel to the fire.

Later, because of these two things, Kozuki Oden brought Kaido back to Wano Country and went to war with Saro to seize territory; Wang Zhi and Silver Axe jointly invaded John's territory and started a war because of uneven distribution of the spoils.

The chaotic fight between several pirate groups deep in the New World officially kicked off the battle.

Then Sengoku and Zephyr attacked Shiki and Lind's territories respectively, bringing the war to a climax. In the entire New World, only the Whitebeard Pirates and the Charlotte Family were not involved in the war.

Of course, that doesn’t count a certain adventure group that’s gone missing.

However, Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin did not have peace for long. After all, pirates were greedy and they were the ones who sought chaos.

After several pirate groups deep in the New World fell into conflict, the two did not just stand there and watch, but were ready to intervene at any time.

It wasn't until the navy's clearing operation on Paradise that a large number of pirates poured into the New World, and the two saw their opportunity.

Needless to say, Whitebeard, with his great fame, not only directly filled up the thirteen divisions, but also added a number of independent captains.

And because of the special nature of Charlotte Linlin as a female pirate and her extremely high appearance, she recruited many powerful female pirates and some bootlicking pirates, and her power also expanded a lot.

On the contrary, after being screened by the above four people, there are basically no strong pirates left among the several major pirate groups deep in the New World, so they can only get a little bit of soup.

Therefore, Whitebeard and Charlotte Linling did not hesitate and made a prompt decision. After slightly reorganizing the team, they attacked the territory of Yuan John, Wang Zhi and Silver Axe.

As for Wano Country, on the one hand, Wano Country is relatively remote and there are no other islands around it, so attacking Wano Country is not cost-effective.

On the other hand, it is for the sake of Kozuki Oden and Kaido. Kozuki Oden and Kaido can be regarded as the younger brothers of Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin.

Therefore, after Shigeki and Sengoku stopped fighting because of Krillin and Yamcha, the early part of the New World, which should have been a fierce war, felt like a lot of thunder but little rain.

Although the fighting is still intense every day, it seems like acting.

On the contrary, several pirate groups deep in the New World are fighting for territory in a life-and-death battle.

Silver Axe and Wang Zhi, who originally had a conflict over the uneven distribution of the spoils, had to join forces in the face of the aggressive Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin.

But even so, they were still beaten back step by step. Not only were the two leading bosses not as strong as the opponents, but their cadres and ordinary pirates were also no match for the opponents.

By the time Darren had settled everything, Whitebeard and Charlotte Linling had already reached the Honeycomb Island, and Wang Zhi and Silver Axe could be eliminated at any time.

"Hahahaha, you two guys are really in a mess, Wang Zhi and Yin Axe."

In the palace in the center of Beehive Island, Wang Zhi and Silver Axe were drinking and thinking about how to deal with the attack from Whitebeard and his companions, when suddenly a voice sounded in their ears.

"John, you are still alive? Wasn't your pirate group wiped out on Qila Island?" Silver Axe said in disbelief as he looked at the familiar figure.

"Um, I don't mean anything else. This is what was said in the news, and there are photos on it." Silver Axe realized that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate, and added.

"John, I'm so glad to see that you're okay. It's a pity that you came back a little late." Seeing John's expression changing, Wang Zhi quickly changed the subject.

"Prince Island is now in the hands of Whitebeard. It won't be easy to take it back from him."

"Even Silver Axe and I can't even defend our own territory now. I don't think Beehive Island will be able to hold out for much longer and will fall."

Wang Zhi sighed, trying to stir up John's emotions.

"Hahaha, what does this have to do with me? I've let it go now. Territory and the like are just external possessions to me. It doesn't matter whether I have them or not."

John laughed and gave a response that Wang Zhi had never expected.

"I have seen through all this over the past period of time and have no interest in it. I came here mainly because I heard about your situation and came to see you."

As he spoke, John looked at the two of them, and then he said:

"Now it seems that you are really in a mess, hahahaha!"

John looked at the two people with livid faces and smiled for a while, then changed his tone.

"If you ask me, with the strength of the three of us, there is no way we can survive independently in the New World. We are still much weaker than Newgate and his men."

"Instead of struggling to death here, you might as well just give up these territories and find a place to live in seclusion."

"Either you become an adventurous pirate like Roger, or you can follow someone else like you did before with Boss Rocks."

John spoke to the two of them in a calm tone, looking as if he had gained enlightenment.

"Huh, John, I don't know what you've been through, but looking at you now, are you still a real pirate?"

"I wonder if you can still use your domineering aura in your current state?"

Silver Axe snorted coldly and said a few words to John.

"That's right, John. If you are still a real pirate, you shouldn't say these discouraging words here. Instead, join us in dealing with Newgate and the others."

Wang Zhi also spoke in agreement with Silver Axe, expressing his dissatisfaction with John in his words.

"Hahaha, do whatever you want. I'm just saying this for the sake of friendship. Anyway, I don't want to be a pirate anymore."

"After so many years, the wealth I have accumulated is enough for me to drink. I plan to find a place, open a small pub, and live out the rest of my life in peace."

"If you hadn't been killed by Newgate and Lingling this time, maybe you would have had a chance to drink in my tavern?"
