Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Just when Yakumo Shiro suddenly realized a fact that had been ignored all along, some unknown changes occurred far away in the holy land of Marijoa.

To put it simply, the stupidity of the Celestial Dragons may be late, but it will never be absent.

Although Yakumo Haku used the ability of "recreating childishness" during several "handovers" to transform his "superficial loyalty caused by life threats" into "loyalty from the heart" and eliminated the perception of being a Celestial Dragon.

However, just as the attachment of the monster girl to her master is deep-rooted, Judge's obsession with "reviving the Germa Kingdom" and "surpassing Vegapunk" still exists, and Shiki the Golden Lion is still an arrogant "pirate". The essence of human beings will not change.

The nature of the Celestial Dragons can be many, arrogant, greedy, jealous, narrow-minded, indifferent to life, and arrogant... One thing that is clear is that these guys are indeed a collection of human inferiority. Even with Yakumo Shiro's "editing", they are still unable to accomplish anything and are more likely to cause trouble -

Downey, a colonel in the Navy, is an ordinary person who has been able to climb to his current military rank. It can be said that he has achieved the limit of what an ordinary person can do.

He has no extraordinary talent in physical skills, nor the potential to develop the fruit. Apart from the brown bear-shaped devil fruit that he obtained by luck, it is his carefulness along the way that has allowed him to walk steadily to where he is today.

Therefore, when the task of escorting the Celestial Dragons fell on him, Tony was extremely reluctant.

Everyone knows that the "world nobles" are moody and don't treat "people" as human beings! Everyone except them is a slave. To put it bluntly, even the navy that protects them is just like a dog, ordered around, without any dignity or status!

Of course, Donny only dared to think about these ideas in his mind. Many people like him only dared to curse in their hearts, and as for publicizing them, they would never dare to do so.

Although the navy does not have something like "literary inquisition", there is no shortage of villains. If you are reported for treason or if there are rumors that disrespect the Celestial Dragons, there will be no way to defend yourself. Even if it is false, it is also true. The Celestial Dragons will not listen to reason with you.

Therefore, despite his frustration, Donnie had to grit his teeth and accept the task, while at the same time secretly convincing himself in his heart -

In fact, escorting the Celestial Dragons does have its own advantages. If everything goes well, there won't be any danger. You can set out smoothly and return peacefully. Then you can collect the credit and add another record to your resume for the promotion that is out of reach...

As for the biggest risk, it is that the Celestial Dragons may commit suicide. You must always be vigilant. The biggest danger also comes from the Celestial Dragons, because you never know when they will take notice of you and become their new slave.

With this mentality, Tony decided to consult the previous "predecessors" before starting the mission - because he heard that this was the fourth trip of those distinguished Tianlong people, and the destination was exactly the same, the big coral island in the West Sea.

At the very least, we should understand the personalities of those noble Tianlong people, so that we can deal with them tactfully and avoid unnecessary troubles...

Tony thought so, and in order to ensure that his mission would go smoothly, he did his best. After strictly instructing the marines who were traveling with him, he asked around and finally found out the officer who was in charge of the escort work.

However, before he could bring gifts and pay a humble visit, bad news came along with the good news.

"Although I don't know why you are asking about Major General Curry, I regret to tell you that Colonel Donnie, Major General Curry, died in the battle with pirates eight years ago..."

Under Donnie's incredulous gaze, a senior navy officer spoke with a heavy expression, his eyes filled with deep nostalgia.

"You should have been in another branch at the time, no wonder you haven't heard of that incident..."

"The opponent was not strong, but a naval major general was killed. Many people were surprised and did not understand why Curry made such a fatal mistake...

Mistakes...

Yes, you heard it right. The Navy’s final judgment on that failure was that Curry underestimated the enemy and was taken advantage of by the pirates. It was a lesson for everyone to learn from, that even a lion must use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

Now, eight or nine years have passed, and I'm afraid that only those of us who fought with him at the same time still remember Curry...

But I know Curry, he values ​​his life more than anyone else. How could he make the mistake of underestimating his enemy?

And, it was that one time! But I had to pay an irreparable price!"

As if the past events had brought back memories for him, the senior in front of him couldn't help but reveal an expression of confusion and pain, which made Donnie a little at a loss for a moment.

Sacrifice is a common thing in the navy. There are also many navy men who returned to the sea forever, including his good friends, confidants, and comrades-in-arms...

Feeling the same way, Donnie couldn't help but apologize to the other party with deep apology, then turned around and left silently with a heavy heart.

Major general, lieutenant general, general, marshal... no one can live forever, everyone can die, let alone a mere colonel like me?

But even though I feel sad and regretful, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. Even for myself, if I can survive, I will naturally work hard to seize such an opportunity.

Since Rear Admiral Curry is gone, there are still two other "predecessors". After the predecessors, there are also those fellow naval officers. As long as they put in some effort, they can always achieve their goals...

However, although the ant longs to survive, reality does not give him such an opportunity.

The second naval captain in charge of the escort died five years ago, and the third naval rear admiral in charge of the escort also died two years ago.

Suddenly, he had a bad feeling, so he went to find his adjutant again.

The adjutant died...

Through a friend in the Navy Personnel Department, I found the list of marines from the three units.

But without exception, the death rate reached a terrifying 100%!

The result is... no one survived!

"How... how is it possible?!"

In the Naval Cemetery, Tony knelt weakly in front of a tombstone, panic and despair occupying his mind for a moment.

The last person on the list was found, and like the others, he was in a cenotaph.

There were three naval forces, with at least a hundred people on each warship, but over the years they all died in the sea due to battles of all sizes!

Perhaps this just reflects the cruelty of the struggle between the navy and pirates, but Donny couldn't believe it.

How can it be such a coincidence?!

How could it be so tragic?!

Not to mention the distant past, but the navy that just carried out this mission three years ago also died?

Out of desire for life, even though he knew this situation was possible, Donnie still instinctively felt a deep throbbing sensation.

Did they offend the Celestial Dragons?

Do not!

Given the character of the Celestial Dragons, anyone who offends them will either be killed on the spot or made into a slave. They will never proceed in a discontinuous manner like this!

If not, why?

Donny didn't dare to think any further. This strange situation made him unable to think for a moment. His mind was filled with the fear of facing the same future.

"No! I can't just sit there and wait for death. Even if it's very likely a coincidence, even if it's just a change of person, I can't continue this mission!"

Thinking about how he had finally achieved his current position and that he had a family, wife and children waiting for him, Tony immediately made a decision that went against the oath he had made when he joined the Navy. He would avoid this mission no matter what!

"Hey! Boy, are you here to visit them too?"

Just when Donnie was in a state of anxiety and pain, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him, and a tall man in a navy coat was walking towards him with a bouquet of flowers.

The purple hair and burly figure, that look is all too familiar, he is the black-armed Zephyr, known as the "Unkillable Admiral" and now the chief instructor of the Navy!
