The storm continued, just like Ze Long's mood. From the time the sun set into the sea until late at night, the storm did not stop for a moment. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The wind and rain mixed, as if they were mourning for Lieutenant Colonel Darius.
In the cabin, Tiano was worried about the safety of the child on the mast, because his old commander, Lieutenant Colonel Darius, had told him to take good care of the child.
Lieutenant Colonel Darius was especially good to his subordinates when he was alive! He was always at the forefront of every battle. It was no exaggeration to say that almost every wound on Darius 'body was for his subordinates.
He had also heard that other naval officers would bully the people and abuse their soldiers, but Lieutenant Colonel Darius had never seen such a good officer since they became recruits.
Tiano also respected him very much. When the old officer died, he missed this child named Ze Long the most. He had to take good care of him.
"Tell me, why did Uncle Darius meet Kaido? Aren't you from the East Sea Fleet? Why was he fighting Kaido on the Great Sea Route?”
No one knew when Ze Long had returned to the cabin and was sitting opposite Major Tiano.
Although Tiano Doze Dragon's sudden appearance was a little shocking, it still told him what had happened.
Darius was originally the child of a fisherman on an island in the West Sea. When he was young, he went out to sea with his father to fish. He often saw all kinds of pirate ships on the sea, burning, killing, and looting. He asked his father why no one cared about it. His father casually replied that there was. The navy specialized in hunting down pirates.
"Then why are there still so many pirates at sea?" Darius asked.”
"Maybe the navy doesn't have enough people!" Darius remembered his father's casual words. He was determined to become a navy and protect the weak.
After that, he successfully joined the army and trained hard. He slowly became a third-class soldier, second-class soldier, and finally a major.
His kindness to his subordinates and bravery to pirates earned him the title of "Loyal Dog Darius".
At this time, he was also 32 years old. In another operation against human trafficking by pirates, he saved a girl.
Soon, the two of them fell in love, got married, and soon became pregnant. But once, when Darius led a team to kill a group of pirates, a pirate claimed to be his wife's biological brother, and their father was also a pirate.
This made Darius feel embarrassed and sad. He secretly let go of his wife's brother, but he didn't hide it from his superiors in the navy. He was demoted from colonel to lieutenant colonel, and there was a stain on his reputation. He would never be able to wear the cloak of justice and be a general for the rest of his life.
The obstruction of his career and faith caused him to drink a lot of wine. When he returned home, he was furious and blamed his wife, who had never said anything harsh.
When he sobered up the next day, his wife left a letter saying that she would go out to sea to help Darius capture her brother!
Darius quickly chased after her, but the ship had already left. When Darius finally found his wife, she had been stabbed by the fierce pirates and fell into a pool of blood.
At that time, it was only a month away from the birth of their child. From that day on, Darius became silent and alcoholic. It was not until eight years later, when he saw Ze Long in that nameless town, that his eyes regained some light.
After Darius put Ze Long on Vicious Beast Island, he picked up Ze Long's adoptive parents and rushed to the Marine Fleet Headquarters.
After settling down Ze Long's adoptive parents in Marinford, Lieutenant Colonel Darius began to look for people everywhere. He used his connections to arrange for Ze Long to enter the naval academy as soon as possible. He was worried about Ze Long staying on Vicious Beast Island.
He wanted to take care of the naval academy first, then pick up Ze Long to go to school, but he underestimated the network of the navy headquarters.
He was a lieutenant colonel from the East Ocean, and his words carried little weight in the headquarters. No one was even willing to give him a place to take the test.
Lieutenant Colonel Darius didn't give up. He stayed in Marlinford for more than half a year and suffered countless cold stares. He once squatted at the entrance of the naval academy for 20 days in a row to block the Chief Instructor Zefa, who was known as Blackwrist.
However, the guards in front of the naval academy did not manage to chase them away.
At that time, there was news that the battle between Roger and the Golden Lion King had ended. Roger had won and was about to become the Pirate King.
Almost all of the navy's forces were sent out to capture Roger and prevent him from becoming the Pirate King.
This was almost a credit to the heavens. Lieutenant Colonel Darius made up his mind and followed the fleet out to sea. On the way to the pursuit, he fought with various pirates.
Later, he heard that Roger had become the Pirate King, and many naval warships returned to their respective bases. However, Lieutenant Colonel Darius was still wandering outside to track Roger in order to make a contribution to ensure that Zelong went to military school.
Finally, he found Roger and reported it to Lieutenant General Karp through the phone bug. According to the information provided by Lieutenant Colonel Darius, Karp had been chasing Roger.
Darius also received a recommendation to enter the military school because he had discovered and followed Roger's pirate group.
However, the weather was unpredictable, and people had good fortune and misfortune. On the way back, they encountered Kaido's pirate ship and died on the spot.
Before he died, he told his subordinate, Tiano, to follow his agreement with Ze Long and come to Vicious Beast Island to fetch him to the navy headquarters. Only then did he close his eyes in peace.
After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Darius 'story, Ze Long couldn't calm down for a long time. When he was growing up on Vicious Beast Island with Blackie, someone was fighting for his future!
"Ah! This is truly a world of flesh and blood. It is cruel and hot-blooded. I will not waste Uncle's efforts. He is the one who recommended me to join the navy. I will let his name glorify the sea with me!”
