Darrin awoke from a plush, large bed.
With a prominent nose bridge, eyes as deep as the stars, sword-like eyebrows, and a head of fine black short hair, he exuded an aura of unruliness and nonconformity.
He slowly rose from the bed, his bare upper body covered in a variety of ferocious and terrifying scars, and his rugged muscle lines added a touch of wildness to him.
In short, he was very handsome.
"Lord Darrin, are you awake?"
A soft, tingling, and alluring voice emerged from under the soft quilt.
A mature face full of tenderness peeked out from under the quilt, and the graceful figure outlined under the quilt was indescribable.
The woman's moist eyes looked coquettishly at the tall man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, her expression filled with the satisfaction of being conquered.
She had never seen such a perfect man, wild, domineering, and untamed.
Although it was her first time last night due to her husband's preference for the same s*x, the man in front of her gave her unimaginable pleasure.
Darrin walked to the window and picked up a high-quality cigar from the crystal coffee table, lit it, took a deep puff, and smiled:
"Well, you continue to sleep, my dear."
Although he said "my dear," this woman was just a passer-by in Darrin's romantic life.
He would soon forget.
Although the taste of this noble lady was indeed very good.
Darrin casually put on a loose white shirt, opened his chest, poured himself a glass of whiskey, picked up the latest newspaper, and looked through it while sipping whiskey.
"The great pirate 'World Destroyer' Byrnndi World has sunk a World Government official ship, causing the Celestial Dragons to be furious, offering a reward of 200 million Berries! The Ward Pirate Group may become the government's biggest threat!"
"The great pirate Roger has set sail again!! The latest whereabouts are in the weakest East Sea!!"
"The great pirate Shiki is recruiting in the New World, trying to form the largest pirate fleet in the world!!"
"The great pirates Kaido and Charlotte Linlin have a fierce battle in the New World, causing a small island to be razed to the ground!!"
"..."
One shocking news headline after another appeared in front of Darrin, causing his eyes to narrow subconsciously.
"It's really lively, this era..."
He slowly closed the newspaper, sipped a mouthful of whiskey, and lit a high-end cigar with gold patterns.
The rich taste of tobacco stimulated his throat, refreshing his spirit, and he fell into deep thought.
Yes, Darrin is a time traveler.
But unlike other time travelers, he doesn't have any system or golden finger of the chosen son, the only advantage is that after the soul fusion, his perception and control of himself are much more accurate than ordinary people.
He has been in this pirate world since he crossed over five years ago, from a navy private at the bottom, and has finally climbed to his current position.
The North Sea, although outside the Grand Line, is the most chaotic, most barbaric, and the most corrupt sea among the East, South, West, and North Seas.
There is no peace in the "weakest sea" East Sea,
There is no prosperity of trade in the West Sea,
There is no stability in the sparsely populated South Sea...
The North Sea is filled with gang fights, underground forces, endless wars between kingdoms, and rampant pirates...
All of this makes the North Sea a nightmare for countless navy governance.
From an ordinary sailor to the base chief of the 321st branch, and even about to be awarded by the headquarters, Darrin has experienced how many life-threatening and treacherous situations... perhaps even he can't remember clearly.
Only the scars on his body are enough to prove everything.
It is precisely because he knows the difficulty of the journey that Darrin's attitude towards life is extremely indulgent.
After all, he is in the year 1492 of the Sea Era!
In this era, several years after the end of the Battle of God's Valley, the world order is in chaos—
Roger has not yet completed the great voyage and become the legendary Pirate King;
Gold Lion Shiki has not yet gone to Marineford to give his head, still dreaming of ruling the sea;
Whitebeard is still collecting sons all over the sea, with a golden crown-like golden hair still thriving;
Kaido has not yet become the famous "cute teacher" in later generations, still stubbornly looking for the navy to commit suicide from time to time;
Charlotte Linlin has not yet become "BIG·MOM" like a steel balloon like a meat mountain, still maintaining a good figure, looking for suitable stallions on the sea;
Red hair is still an intern, Buggy has not yet become an emperor, and Luffy has not even been born...
In this era, there is no balance of the four emperors dividing the New World, and there is no system of the seven warlords under the king, there is only chaos and killing!
In this era when the whole world is plagued by pirates,
In this era when great pirates and great villains are running all over the world,
Even the navy, which is regarded by countless predecessors of time travelers as the best profession for sneaky development, is also a profession where the head is hung on the waist.
Darrin himself is not sure when he will die in the melee, so of course, he has to live a better life.
It's not easy to cross once, and he naturally wants to live a hearty life!
Even if you are a navy, you can't be a hard navy.
Drink the best wine, smoke the strongest smoke, and sleep with the most beautiful women!
This is his life principle.
Degenerate or corrupt, these so-called reputations are actually not important at all.
He is not a pirate, what is the reputation for?
The North Sea Navy has never been promoted by a good reputation.
Not to mention, his former superiors, Borsalino and Sakazuki, also came from the North Sea.
Their reputation is not very good either.
But they are now in the headquarters, and after graduating from the officer training camp, they have risen step by step, becoming the "future navy admirals" that everyone in the navy sees as a foregone conclusion?
Of course, play is play, and make a fuss, but for his own cultivation and the improvement of strength, Darrin's standards are as strict as his choice of women.
Thinking this way, he adjusted his own breath, gradually concentrated his spirit, and immersed himself in the perception of the body.
The soul fusion caused by crossing has produced a certain magical talent, allowing him to perceive his body accurately to an unimaginable extent.
For the convenience of analysis and recording, after several years of exploration, he successfully objectified this feeling, using numbers as a unit of measurement, compared with the Shogun he had seen before, and made a "personal attribute table."
This seems very unreasonable, but even the ridiculous thing of crossing has happened, it can be accepted.
Physique: 58.103
Strength: 53.831
Speed: 57.539
Fruit: 71.345
Physique represents the body's defense, vitality, and endurance;
Strength is pure arm strength, physical strength, instant explosive power;
Speed is the speed of movement, short-distance sprint burst;
As for the fruit... it is the degree of control of the Devil Fruit.
The reference for this data has specific examples, and the full value is 100.
For example, physique, the reference is naturally the "strongest creature on land, sea, and air" in the original plot, the beast Kaido.
Kaido's terrifying defense that cannot be damaged without advanced flow, Darrin estimates that his physique should be around 90 points.
"Well, the physique has indeed increased by 0.03."
Darrin carefully perceived his body, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His accidental discovery was finally confirmed.
After a "campaign" that lasted for 2 hours last night, he woke up refreshed today, and his physique has indeed become stronger.
This is very reasonable.
According to the physiological knowledge he mastered before crossing, moderate "exercise" can increase the level of testosterone (male hormone) in the body and release a large amount of dopamine, which can promote muscle growth.
0.03 seems not much, but the trickle is long, and even mosquitoes are meat.
Yes, this is the way Darrin has been struggling for several years, exploring the use of his "talent."
Through accurate perception of the body, like data, precise feedback, he can find the most suitable way for his own growth, and thus continuously improve his strength!
At this moment—
Whoosh!
The door of the room was suddenly cut open by a sharp sword light.
A tall figure with long black hair walked in coldly and angrily.
"Colonel Darrin, as the soon-to-be governor of the North Sea, you actually do such absurd things in the navy base... it's too much!"
Gion, holding a golden famous sword, took a look at the woman hiding under the quilt on the bed, scared into a ball, and said a sentence that made Tokikake behind her speechless:
"This is the governor's wife of the Yadis Kingdom!!"
