“Boss, a glass of beer and a cherry pie.

Darren walked into a tavern, found a seat and sat down, and shouted to the boss behind the bar.

The light in the tavern was not bright, and many guys with the smell of blood on their bodies were eating meat. But when they saw Darren, they immediately became quiet.

Some of the timid ones even changed their expressions slightly and sneaked out cautiously.

The arrival of the Commodore made the atmosphere in the tavern strange.

The strength of the first half of the Great Channel is limited, and the pirates who can travel from all over the world to Gaya Island basically have some brains.

A Commodore from the Navy Headquarters may not be considered a big deal in the new world, but in the first half of the paradise, he can basically walk sideways.

"Hey... I admit it right?"

"Yes, it should be him..."

"The height is different from ordinary people, and that appearance..."

"The same Marine who killed Bundy Waldo, the Destroyer of Worlds!"

"'King of the North Sea' Rogers Darren!"

"Damn it...why did such a big shot come to Demon Valley Town?"

"He won't kill us all, right?"

Bursts of whispers continued, and the drinkers in the tavern looked at Darren with awe and fear.

Ignoring the looks of these people, Darren picked up the foaming beer, took a swig, and took a bite of the freshly baked cherry pie in front of him.

Well, it's not particularly delicious, but at least it's not terrible.

While replenishing his energy, Darren began to think.

The Thunder Fruit is the strongest natural devil fruit known as the "invincible". According to historical records, the owners of the Thunder Fruit in the past have been extremely powerful, possessing power comparable to that of gods.

In practical terms, the Thunder Fruit is worthy of its title of "the strongest natural type".

The ability to move across the void at the speed of light,

The terrifying destructive power of natural disasters,

The natural elementalization ability...

Coupled with the heart net amplified by the Thunder Fruit, the domineering power of seeing and hearing is enough to cover the entire island.

Such a comprehensive and powerful Devil Fruit has become one of the most coveted abilities for countless time travellers.

In the original plot, the person with the ability of the Thunder Fruit is Enel, the arrogant guy who rules the sky island and calls himself "God".

But at this time, Enelu is probably just a little kid under ten years old, and the probability of eating the Thunder Fruit is not high.

This means that the current thunder fruit is very likely to be somewhere on the sky island.

He is already a user with the ability of the Magnetic Fruit, so he cannot possess the Thunder Fruit at the same time.

Although it's a pity, Darren doesn't feel regretful.

If he hadn't eaten the magnetic fruit back then, it's not certain whether he would have survived to this day.

Not to mention that the Magnetic Fruit has brought too many surprises to Darren. As long as he continues to work hard to develop it, the power of this Devil Fruit will not be inferior to that of the Thunder Fruit, or even more powerful.

As for the Thunder Fruit... Such amazing power must be in hand.

It must be assigned a potential user, and this person must be someone you can trust.

For this, Darren already has a perfect candidate.

In addition to the Thunder Fruit, there is another huge wealth on Sky Island waiting for Darren to discover.

Golden Township.

That's a whole city's gold! !

How much wealth is Sandora in the Golden Township worth?

Darren doesn't know either.

Just the little bit that the Straw Hat Pirates took away from Sandora was worth 200 million beli.

Although this is due to inflation and the devaluation of Bailey after the Great Pirates Era began, it is still shocking enough.

Darren did some calculations and quickly came to an exciting conclusion.

If the entire golden town of Sandora is evacuated, with the gold reserves of this city, it will definitely be possible to expand the size of the North Sea Fleet by more than ten times on the current basis!

Hundreds of renovated heavy warships, equipped with a variety of technological weapons and heavy artillery, have expanded to an elite joint combat fleet legion of 30,000...

This scene is exciting just thinking about it.

The current size of the North Sea Fleet is still small, but because of too much investment in technology and armaments, coupled with the costs of soldiers' salaries and warship modifications and maintenance, even if he makes crazy money in the North Sea, he can barely maintain a balance of payments.

But if you get all the wealth of Golden Land...

It is no exaggeration to say that Darren will not need to worry about the military expenses of the North Sea Fleet for at least five years!

With such a huge gold reserve as financial support, Darren can further deploy the development of the North Sea Fleet and implement some plans that do not exist on this sea but exist in the real world!

Thinking of this, Darren's eyes lit up.

What, you said that the Navy Headquarters also lacks military funds?

That is something that Marshal Cyborg Kong and General Warring States need to worry about.

The North Sea Fleet's wages are not paid by the headquarters.

Three days later.

North Sea.

Branch 321.

Base Chief's Office.

"Are the gifts ready?"

The flying squirrel, wearing a navy captain's cape, raised his head from the pile of documents and asked seriously.

The young navy nodded and replied respectfully:

"Everything is ready, 200 million beli's worth of gold and silver, as well as various valuable tobacco, alcohol and gifts. The total value has exceeded 300 million beri... It has been properly arranged and will be sent directly from a warship Escort to Rubek Island.”

He paused and asked cautiously:

"But Admiral Flying Squirrel, the Don Quixote family is just an underground force in Beihai. Do we, the Beihai Navy, need to give him such face?"

The flying squirrel glanced at him expressionlessly, and suddenly asked an unrelated question:

"Tell me, how are you treated by the North Sea Fleet?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly:

"very good……"

"Military pay is more than three times that of the same level in this department. Coupled with generous bonuses and incentives, it is enough for any naval soldier's family to live a good life."

"In addition, we are also equipped with the best meals, the most advanced weapons and equipment, and the best training instructors... It can be said that absolutely no other army on this sea can provide such treatment."

The flying squirrel nodded and asked again:

"Then you know why the North Sea Fleet gives you such generous treatment?"

The young navy suddenly raised his hand in salute and said loudly:

"Implement orders from superiors unconditionally!"

At this point, he suddenly froze, and then he instantly understood what the flying squirrel meant. His face turned red and he hesitated:

"Sorry, Admiral Flying Squirrel, my subordinate is talking too much."

The flying squirrel smiled and said:

"There are many things in this sea that are unreasonable, just as I unconditionally obeyed Admiral Darren's orders...the most important thing for a soldier is often not thinking, but pure execution."

"Subordinate understands. Thank you, Admiral Flying Squirrel, for your guidance!"

The young navy puffed out his chest and saluted again.

"By the way, Admiral Flying Squirrel..."

He remembered something, picked up a document and asked:

"There are three charity banquets, two card games and an auction scheduled for the next three days... Do you want to attend?"

The flying squirrel waved his hands angrily:

"Please refuse it for me."

The young navy learned a lesson this time and didn't ask any more questions. He nodded, then turned and left.

"Why……"

As the office door slowly closed, the flying squirrel leaned back with a tired face.

He lit a cigar, took a long drag, and pinched his temples gently with his fingers.

"The position of Admiral Beihai... is far more troublesome than I thought..."

He couldn't help but sigh.

A voice with a faint teasing smile suddenly sounded.

"Really? Jiaji is crying and begging me to transfer you to Beihai as your deputy..."

Hearing the sudden sound, the flying squirrel looked stern and subconsciously pressed the hilt of the saber at his waist.

But when he turned his head, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Darren?"
