From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Tina took the opportunity to sneak a peek inside and saw her good friend Smoker standing in front of Principal Zefa's desk, being scolded.

But after just a glance, the door closed again.

"I hope Smoker can also be noticed by Vice Admiral Diarmait!" Tina wished in her heart.

In fact, Smoker was really chosen.

As soon as he entered the room, Diarmait saw Smoker, a guy who was about seventeen years old. He looked young, but he looked a little unhappy and prickly. He had messy short white hair and looked very handsome.

He was wearing a navy vest with the word Justice written on the back.

With a cigar stuck in his ear, he looked a bit like a gangster.

Overall, if it weren't for the righteous vest on this guy, at first glance, this kid doesn't look like a navy at all, but a typical young villain!

Hearing the voice behind him, Smoker turned around with an unhappy expression. Then he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of surprise and admiration appeared in his eyes. He stood at attention and said, "Lieutenant General Diarmait!"

As for Gion, it seemed that he had simply ignored it.

Smoker really admired Diarmait. He had seen Roger's demeanor during his execution, and he had also seen Diarmait's appearance when he stood on the execution platform and made a declaration.

It was from that time that he determined to take Diarmait as his idol and become a pillar of the navy.

"Smoker? I've heard Teacher Zefa mention you often." Diarmait said with a smile.

At the same time, I sat on the sofa with Gion.

Smoker's face lit up and he said, "Thank you for your concern!"

Diarmuid nodded, then looked at Teacher Zefa and said, "Teacher, have you told him?"

"Not yet. I'm scolding him. This bastard kid is causing trouble in school all day long..." Teacher Zefa waved his hand.

Smoker was also very smart. As soon as he heard the conversation, he knew that Vice Admiral Diarmait came for him today. Perhaps he wanted to assign him some important responsibilities, so that he could graduate a few months early?

That's right, as a student of the class of 1500, Smoker graduated this year.

But it’s only the beginning of the year, so it will take a few months.

I feel a little excited just thinking about it.

"Then fire him!" Diarmait said without hesitation.

Teacher Zefa also nodded and said, "I thought so too. I'm going to teach him a lesson first, then expel him and kick him out of the navy to avoid looking at him unpleasantly."

Smoker, who was originally very excited, was completely stunned.

What the hell?

"No! Principal, I haven't caused any trouble these days!" Smoker said in panic.

"Last week, you got into a fight with others, and two students were hospitalized because of you..." Teacher Zefa said in a deep voice.

"I was punished at that time and apologized. Didn't I say that it was over?" Smoker said quickly.

Teacher Zephyr was retorted by Smoker. He opened his mouth but said nothing. After all, he was not as shameless as Diarmait.

Diarmait laughed and asked, "Smoker, when you came into the office just now, was it your left foot or your right foot that came in first?"

"Left foot...right?" Smoker hesitated.

Who can remember this clearly?

"Left foot? You are so brave!" Diarmait's originally smiling expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the coffee table, almost scaring Gion next to him.

Smoker? ? ?

"How dare you step into Mr. Zefa's office with your left foot first? This is extremely disrespectful to the teacher. Our navy doesn't want bad guys like you. You are expelled from this moment on!" Diarmuid shouted angrily.

Smoker was completely stunned.

Do you want to play with me like this?

Teacher Zefa’s reason just now was quite reasonable, but you are going too far, aren’t you?

Is this clearly targeting me, Smoker?

"Even if you are a vice admiral of the navy, you can't fire me for such a ridiculous reason!" Smoker shouted angrily the moment he came to his senses.

His prickly nature finally broke out.

Even though Diarmait was his idol, he only felt disappointed now.

"You." Diarmait looked at Smoker with a gloomy look, and then said, "Are you questioning me?"

The moment he finished speaking, Diarmait's aura was slightly released, but even just a little bit was enough to frighten Smoker.

White smoke involuntarily emanated from his body, and his fruit ability instinctively took him on guard.

After forcing himself to calm down, Smoker took a deep breath, looked at Diarmait with a sharp gaze and said, "That's right!"

"Interesting..." Diarmait stood up and took two steps forward in an oppressive manner, forcing Smoker to involuntarily take two steps back.

But even so, Smoker still looked firmly into Diarmait's eyes.

"Not fearing the powerful, is this your justice?" Diarmait asked.

"That's right!" Smoker said without hesitation.

"Even if it means death, will you uphold justice?" Diarmait asked again.

"Since I came to Marineford, I have never thought of giving up!" Smoker said without hesitation.

After the two sides stared at each other for a while, Diarmuid suddenly restrained his momentum, looked at Teacher Zefa with a smile and said, "It's just as you said, Teacher. His justice will not waver..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait looked at Smoker again and said, "You passed! Smoker!" Smoker? ? ?

What did I qualify for?

"I have a confidential mission that I need to entrust to a navy officer like you, someone with a strong sense of justice and an unwavering resolve. If you accept this mission, I will promote you to rear admiral in my own name. A seventeen-year-old rear admiral..." Diarmuid said with a smile.

Chapter 157 Three years later, and another three years later, if you don’t close your net, I will become one of the Four Emperors!

A seventeen-year-old rear admiral, that's pretty impressive.

Back then, when Diarmuid was seventeen years old, he had not yet become a major general and was still working as a vagrant in the 113th Naval Branch Base in the North Sea.

Think about Smoker again. After more than ten years, Luffy was known as the Little Bully in the East China Sea, but Smoker was just a colonel in the Marine Headquarters.

Although there are various reasons for this, it is very likely because of Smoker's prickly personality that caused him to have many ups and downs.

His military rank went up and down, but he was finally promoted to colonel.

It was not until after the Battle of Marineford that he began to be promoted steadily. Within two years, he became a lieutenant general, which can be said to be a result of years of hard work.

But now it seems that the seventeen-year-old rear admiral has a strong appeal to Smoker.

I saw that Smoker's breathing became a little heavier, and some white smoke came out.

His face straightened and he said, "Everything is for justice!"

"Don't shout slogans at me here. Let me tell you first, Smoker, this mission is not that simple. You will have to endure humiliation for a long time, and it is extremely dangerous. Our Navy Headquarters may not be able to give you much support. In this process, your justice will be worthless, even..." Diarmuid paused here.

Then, with a slightly dejected expression, he said, "Forget it, I've changed my mind. You're a good candidate and shouldn't be under all this pressure and danger. Just follow the routine and be a good sailor, 557. You're still young, so how can I let you shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"

After finishing speaking, Diarmuid sat back on the sofa and looked at Teacher Zefa and said, "Teacher, how about changing someone else? This kid might not be able to do it..."

Teacher Zefa looked at Diarmait in confusion. What is this trick of yours?

But before Mr. Zephyr could react, the originally excited Smoker was also stunned. He immediately said, "Lieutenant General Diarmuid, I will definitely not let you, the principal, down. Please be sure to entrust this important task to me. Even if it costs my life, I will definitely complete it!"

Teacher Zefa was stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Diarmait was provoking him, which was normal. Smoker was in adolescence. During this period, Smoker was fearless and had the arrogance of a young man.

Generally speaking, young people at this stage think that they are special and that once they step onto the world stage, they will become the protagonist and be able to change the world.

But in reality, most people will quickly calm down and go back to business as usual.

But then again, the lives of most heroes often start to accelerate from this period of time.

All in all, young people of this age group cannot stand this kind of "provocation".

Obviously, the troublemaker Smoker is one of them.

"It will be very painful, Smoker. You will be under extremely heavy pressure. Your current friends will misunderstand you and even hate you..." Diarmait said softly.

Smoker still looked fearless and said viciously, "I don't have many friends anyway!"

"Isn't it Tina?" Diarmait suddenly asked.

Smoker was stunned for a moment, then said, "For justice!" "Willingly?" Diarmait asked again.

"Willingly!" Smoker said without hesitation.

"Good!" Diarmait clapped his hands suddenly and looked at Smoker with admiration.

Gion on the side opened his mouth several times, wanting to persuade Diarmait, "Don't play with him like this. Can't you be more honest?"

But looking at Smoker's high-spirited appearance, Gion finally shook her head. Forget it, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. She should stop interfering.

"Since you so strongly desire this mission, I'll leave it to you, Major General Smoker!" Diarmait stood up again, a look of deep emotion on his face, and patted the young Smoker on the shoulder. Smoker was so excited at the title of 'Major General' that he stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Vice Admiral Diarmait, please give me your orders!" "Become a pirate!" Diarmait said bluntly.

"Yes, I'm going to be a pirate..." Smoker responded instinctively at first, then he was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Pirate?" You just called me 'Major General Smoker' just a second ago.

Will he become the 'Smoker Pirate' in the next second?

What the hell is going on?

"That's right, become a pirate. Pirates have a bright future. The next twenty years will be a golden age. I hope you can become the next Pirate King." Diarmait patted Smoker on the shoulder and then said, "You must constantly remind yourself that you are no longer a marine, but a pirate. This will minimize the exposure of your flaws. Come, shout with me... 'I am the man who will become the Pirate King!'"

"I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!?" Smoker shouted with a guilty conscience, and then quickly asked, "Vice-Admiral Diarmait, what exactly does this mean?"

"Don't be anxious. I'm just about to explain it to you. The World Government is going to implement a new policy called the Seven Warlords of the Sea Plan. The plan aims to find seven great pirates, recruit them, and form a new special agency. This agency is very unfavorable to our navy, but after discussion among our navy's top brass, it was decided to let it become..." Diarmuid pulled Smoker to sit on the sofa and began to tell him about this grand plan.

When Smoker first heard about the pirates' surrender and other nonsense, he was extremely angry and scolded the World Government on the spot.

Diarmait not only did not dissuade him, but encouraged him, saying that he should spray frequently when he goes out to sea in the future, so that he can confirm his identity as a pirate.

This made Smoker a little embarrassed.

Later, when he learned that Diarmait and other high-ranking naval officials intended to internalize the Seven Warlords of the Sea and use them to lay eggs, he was also extremely shocked.

Then, the clever Smoker realized what benefits this would bring to the navy, and also understood why Diarmait wanted him to go out to sea as a pirate.

They're planning to make him an undercover agent and serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
