Physique represents the body's defense, vitality, and endurance;
Strength is pure arm strength, body strength, and instantaneous explosive power;
Speed refers to movement speed and short-distance sprint bursts;
As for the fruit...it is the degree of control over the devil fruit.
The reference for this data is specific examples, and the maximum value is 100.
For example, when it comes to physique, the reference is naturally the "strongest creature on land, sea and air" in the original plot, Kaido, the King of Beasts.
Darren estimated that Kaido's physical strength should be around 90 points considering his terrifying defense that cannot cause any damage without high-level Ryuo.
"Yes, my physical strength has indeed increased by 0.03."
Darren felt his body carefully, a smile appearing on his lips.
My accidental discovery was finally confirmed.
After two hours of "conquest" last night, I woke up feeling refreshed today, and my body has indeed become stronger.
That makes sense.
According to the physiological knowledge acquired before the time travel, moderate "exercise" can increase the body's testosterone level (male hormone) and release a large amount of dopamine, which can promote muscle growth.
0.03 may not seem like much, but a trickle of water adds up and a small amount of money is still meat.
Yes, this is what Darren has figured out over the past few years about how to use his "talent".
Through precise perception of his body and feedback as accurate as data, he can find the practice method that best suits his own growth, thereby continuously improving his strength!
At this moment——
Swish!
The door of the room was suddenly cut open by the sharp sword light.
A tall figure with long black hair walked in with a cold and angry look.
"Colonel Darren, as the incoming North Sea Admiral, you actually did such a ridiculous thing in the naval base... It's really too much!"
Gion, holding a famous golden sword, glanced at the woman hiding under the quilt on the bed, huddled in fear. His eyes were almost spitting fire, and he said something that stunned Kaji behind him:
"This is the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis!!"
Just a reminder to the big guys, because this book covers a long time span, from the Roger era all the way to the Battle of Marineford, and the timeline at the beginning is too early, so many characters are still very young.
They don't have much experience yet, are still quite immature, and their ideas and concepts have not formed the impression we have in the original work.
In this book, you will see the young Dragon, the pure Gion who insists on justice, the ignorant Kake, the Aokiji who still insists on "burning justice", and the ambitious Old Sand...
But please believe in my ability, I will shape each character well, and as time goes by, they will gradually grow and get closer and closer to the original plot.
Chapter 3 I am caring about the people
"This is the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion seemed to feel ashamed, and a blush of anger appeared on her face.
Darren, this bastard, actually did such an immoral thing in the naval base. This was simply unacceptable and intolerable for Gion, who grew up in the headquarters and was educated in "pure justice" by Chief of Staff Tsuru.
Not to mention, she came from the headquarters this time and also has the responsibilities of "review" and "supervision".
If this matter were to get out, what a bad impact it would have on the navy's reputation! ?
Darren... is a righteous disgrace!
Unexpectedly, Darren, the instigator, looked calm, with a charming smile on his face, and slowly stood up:
"Oh, it turns out to be Major Gion and Major Kake. You must have come all the way from Marinford. You must have worked hard."
He held a cigar between his teeth and extended his hand generously.
"Welcome to Beihai Branch 321."
Gion looked at him coldly and showed no intention of shaking hands.
Darren shrugged nonchalantly, took out a cigar and handed it to Kaji who was standing beside him.
"Major Kake, I have long heard of your great name."
When Kaji saw the cigar that Darren handed over, his eyes lit up.
The cigar is branded with gold-plated patterns, clearly a high-end cigar from the West Sea, specially made for the nobility.
He subconsciously wanted to take it, but when he saw Gion's fiery eyes, he immediately retracted his hand in embarrassment.
"Hey, Darren... Is this woman really the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis?"
Kake asked secretly, lowering his voice.
Darren smiled but said nothing.
Kaji immediately gasped.
brute!!
He cursed in his heart.
He saw Lady Margery's appearance, mature, charming, and still charming, but she was just a bargain for this guy! ?
How can I fix this! I am obviously more handsome, why don't I have such luck! !
Most importantly, she is the Governor's wife!
This identity... just thinking about it makes me excited... cough cough...
Kaji couldn't help but grit his teeth and said:
"Colonel Darren, it's not a good idea for you to do this."
The tone sounded a bit sour.
Gion turned around and glared at Kaji, then turned around and bowed deeply to the Governor's wife who was hiding under the quilt to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Lady Margery, this is a negligence on the part of our navy."
"I am a member of the inspection team from the Navy Headquarters. I am Lieutenant General Gion from the Navy Headquarters. Please rest assured that we will thoroughly investigate Colonel Darren's evil deeds and punish him severely!"
As he spoke, Gion secretly swore in his heart that he must report this matter to the headquarters. There must not be a black sheep like Darren in the navy!
At this time, Lady Margery carefully poked her head out from under the quilt and glanced at Darren who was standing there smoking a cigar. A hint of shyness flashed across her amorous eyes, and she whispered softly:
"Um...Major Gion, I actually volunteered."
"I... like Colonel Darren very much."
Gion was stunned.
Kaji was dumbfounded.
They originally thought that Darren used his strength or power to force Lady Margery into submission.
But I didn't expect... this was actually voluntary?
etc!
They thought of the official ships docked at the port.
This, this... is takeaway food delivered to your door?
"Well, two guests from our headquarters, let's not disturb this beautiful lady's rest."
Darren smiled at this time.
He casually put on a brand new military uniform, put on a wide cloak, and raised his head to point in the direction of the door.
"Let's go to the office to discuss business. This way, please."
…
321 Branch, Base Commander's Office.
A huge plaque was hung on the gray wall, with the two characters "Justice" written in a flamboyant style.
Darren sat down in the main seat without any hesitation, lit a cigar and said:
"Major Gion, Major Kake, please give me some good news. Has my commission come through?"
As he spoke, he looked at the two people in front of him casually.
This was the first time he saw these two future "general candidates" after traveling through time.
Gion is tall, with a pair of long, white and slender legs without any excess fat.
Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, paired with a wide navy cloak, and her eyes were dark and bright, making her look heroic.
The beauty mole at the corner of her mouth adds a touch of charm to her.
But unlike the impression in the animation, Gion was only about 18 or 19 years old at that time, and looked quite young, but he already had some charm.
As for the Kake next to it... well, it's pretty sloppy.
He stood there with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets, his eyes flickering around and glancing at the cigar on the table from time to time. He looked so vulgar no matter how you looked at him.
Although she is only about 20 years old, she has the "maturity" of a 40-year-old, and she looks a little anxious.
They are all young second-generation officials...
Darren felt a little emotional.
Kaji is okay, as he comes from a fairly common background.
Gion is truly a "second generation".
Not to mention his amazing talent, his family background is also ridiculously high.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff of the Navy Headquarters, regards her as his own sister, and Admiral Sengoku takes good care of her. It can be said that she is the chosen one who was brought up by the bigwigs of the Navy.
Even the "strongest navy" and "hero" Garp was called "Little Garp" by her.
This kind of treatment is really excessive.
Comparing oneself to others is like comparing oneself to the dead.
He had worked his way up from the bottom to the rank of colonel, but Gion started as a major when he first went on a sea mission.
Not to mention that anyone could see at a glance that Gion and Kake's visit to the North Sea seemed to be to carry out a mission, but in fact they were just to gild themselves.
When their mission is over in a few months, they will return to headquarters. With their rich resumes, the two of them can directly enter Zefa's officer training camp, and after graduation they will be able to enter the core decision-making level of the navy.
It's really enviable.
However, it is obvious that Gion and Kake were still quite young during this period, and had a kind of pride and innocence unique to young people.
That's quite normal.
Hearing Darren's words, Gion, who was still angry, snorted coldly and took out a letter of authorization.
"Congratulations, Captain Darren. From this moment on, you are the highest commander in charge of the entire North Sea Navy."
Darren took the letter of appointment and looked at it——
Letter of Appointment
From now on, Colonel Rogers Darren, base commander of the North Sea 321 Branch and headquarters, will be the Admiral of the North Sea!
He smiled with satisfaction.
The position of admiral is only established in the four seas outside the Grand Line. It is a specific position with the military rank of colonel of the headquarters.
The admirals of the four seas, namely the East, South, West and North, have the highest command authority over all naval bases and just forces within their respective jurisdictions. They are directly responsible to the headquarters, Marinford, and are the most powerful figures in the four seas.
Although the presence or absence of this letter of commission would not have any obvious impact on his power, after all, the entire North Sea Navy was under his control.
But apart from Karp, who would complain about his high position?
Besides, with the title and position of North Sea Admiral, some things can be done more conveniently.
"Sakaski is a man who keeps his promise..."
Darren murmured to himself.
