From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Smoker..." Tina wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it for a moment.

"Hehehe, pass on my order to increase the White Hunter. The bounty on Smoker is 130 million berries." Diarmait waved his hand.

Tina's eyes flashed with helplessness, but she finally nodded and said, "Yes, General."

"As for Smoker, do you have any questions for me?" Diarmait took a sip from his teacup and asked meaningfully.

Tina hesitated for a moment, then said, "Normally, as a lieutenant colonel, I shouldn't have access to this information, but as your secretary, I've heard some of it. I've always been puzzled by the fact that this headquarters has the ability to eliminate Smoker at any time. On two occasions, Smoker almost fell into our hands, but in the end, he was lucky enough to escape, and his bounty is getting higher and higher. After observing this, I have come to a bold guess: is this headquarters cooperating with Smoker's actions?"

"Who knows?" Diarmait smiled and continued, "When I let you go out for some training, you can ask Smoker in person."

Tina was stunned for a moment. Diarmait didn't deny it, which seemed to represent some attitude?

She felt a little relieved. Maybe it was really as she guessed?

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on the coffee table rang. Diarmuid took a look and Tina quickly walked over to answer it.

"Diarmuid? Come to the Marshal's office. I need to discuss something with you." The voice of General Sengoku came from Den Den Mushi.

Diarmait said with a smile, "Okay, General Warring States."

"Hahahaha, are you hinting at me, General Diarmait?" General Warring States said with a smile.

"Hehe, we are on the same level now." Diarmait said a little arrogantly.

"Stop talking nonsense, little brat. Come here quickly." The Warring States general scolded with a smile.

Diarmait didn't waste any more time. He stood up, nodded to Tina, and walked out the door.

Chapter 160: Blood Plague - Craster. (Updated)

New World, near the waters of Moroni Island.

Three naval warships are sailing here.

Diarmait was sitting on the deck of the flagship, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing quietly.

Not far behind him, his secretary Tina was helping him deal with some unimportant documents.

At the same time, Commodore Vergo of the Navy Headquarters was leaning against the fence, eating a box of skewers in his hand.

Vergo was originally a member of G-7. After Diarmait was promoted to general, he brought this guy to the headquarters with him.

There is no other reason, it's just because Virgo is a spy. After I left G-7, it would be somewhat inappropriate to put him back in G-7.

So I was transferred to the headquarters to continue watching.

Vergo wanted to hang out with Diarmait so that he could thrive in the headquarters, so he came without hesitation.

He was also promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

Diarmait shook the fishing rod in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and pulled a sea fish out from under the sea.

The thin fishing line, carrying the sea fish, was thrown onto the deck and landed in front of Virgo's feet.

Vergo put down the skewers in his hand, pulled out a dagger from his waist, squatted down and stabbed the sea fish to death with one knife.

Then, he began to untie the fish hooks, fishing lines and other things with ease.

It can be seen that he usually does chores for Diarmait.

"General, what are we going to do on Moroni Island this time?" Virgo suddenly asked.

Diarmait said without even turning his head, "Catch him."

"Who to catch?" Virgo's heart moved and he felt a little nervous.

Because as far as he knew, his young master Don Quixote, Doflamingo, was on Moroni Island.

Could it be that they are going to capture the young master?

If that's the case, I have to find a way to spread the news quickly and remind the young master.

Diarmait still did not turn around, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

According to the navy's intelligence, he also knew that Don Quixote and Doflamingo were on Moroni Island.

But this time they really weren't going to catch him. As long as Doflamingo didn't make too much noise, the navy wouldn't pay any attention to him. Doflamingo himself seemed to be very sensible, or maybe Diarmuid had taught him a lesson before, so he rarely provoked the navy.

This time, it should be said that they were going to capture his partner.

"The blood plague. Craster." Diarmuid said softly.

"The most vicious newcomer with a bounty of 560 million Baileys?" Virgo said after a moment's pause.

“You’re not a newcomer anymore.” Diarmuid replied.

"Why do we suddenly want to capture him? Or are you going to do it yourself, General?" Vergo asked curiously.

Even with the blood plague, Craster was very strong, having easily defeated the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters and slaughtered the naval base of Spring Queen Island.

But... just based on this, it's not enough to ask the Admiral Diarmuid to take action personally, right?

Hearing Vergo's question, Diarmait's memory was drawn back to what happened a few days ago when he went to the Marshal's office.

In the Marshal's office, two things were discussed with General Warring States and Marshal Steel Bone.

The first thing is about his title of general.

To be honest, Diarmuid was a little surprised when Marshal Cyborg mentioned this matter.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that in the original story, Sakaski, Kuzan and Borsalino were all called the three generals.

They are Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru.

The first character is the color and the last character is the animal code.

Neat and tidy, well-made.

But in this era, the admirals do not have so many fancy needs.

Looking at the names like Buddha’s Warring States and Black Arm Zefa, the two of them don’t have any neat names, they are very casual.

At the same time, during the period after he was promoted to general, no one mentioned the question of any title, and Diarmait was still the Fierce Tiger.

It's also not like in the original story, where the navy members called Kuzan and others directly "Qingzhi" or something like that.

At present, the members of the navy normally refer to themselves as "Admiral Diarmuid" or just "Admiral".

So Diarmait was very confused. What code name was needed for this?

However, seeing how excited General Warring States and Marshal Steel Bone were, Diarmuid did not disturb their interest. He just fooled them and told them to take care of the arrangements and choose a few suitable ones. After he returned this time, he would choose one from them and that would be the end of it.

The second thing is about the blood plague, Craster.

Diarmait had never heard of this guy in the original story, but this was normal. There were thousands of pirates on the sea, and the capable and powerful ones were as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

It is impossible for him to know and understand them all.

According to the intelligence within the navy, Craster was a very powerful pirate, one of the first pioneers of the Great Pirate Era.

He is only 1500 years old this year. He was born in the South China Sea. In the year of the Haiyuan calendar, the year when Roger was executed, he rode the tide of the times and set sail with the pirate flag.

Originally, this guy wasn't very impressive, but after entering the first half of the Grand Line, by chance, he ate the Parahuman Blood-Blood Fruit and became a superpowered person.

After that, things got out of control. The power of this Blood-Blood Fruit was extremely powerful. How powerful was it?

When fighting with him, you cannot be injured or have any wounds on your body. Once you have a wound and blood flows out.

Then he can kill you instantly. He can use his ability to forcibly draw your blood out of your body!

This is how the vice admiral who died on Spring Queen Island died. He looked so miserable, his body looked like it had been dried by the wind.

After the tragedy on Spring Queen Island, Craster rushed into the New World with an unstoppable momentum.

In today's New World, Whitebeard is the strongest, followed by Charlotte and Linlin, while Kaido and the others have disappeared without a trace and are not making any moves.

There was absolutely no future Four Emperors structure and stability.

It can be said that it is a mixed bag, with countless pirates of all sizes fighting against each other, creating chaos.

And Craster, relying on his own hard power and the tyranny of the Blood-Blood Fruit, carved out a world for himself.

Gained a foothold in the New World.

At this moment, the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan was announced, and no one knew what Craster was thinking.

He just wants to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Maybe he has also realized his shortcomings in the New World and needs a few years to grow. Otherwise, he will not be able to challenge Whitebeard or Charlotte, Linlin and others, right?

So he wanted to use the position of Shichibukai to recuperate for a few years.

In short, he sent a self-recommendation to the World Government, and coincidentally, his needs were basically the same as those of the World Government.

The World Government originally hoped to use pirates to eliminate more pirates. This is an inevitable step for Craster to dominate.

In addition, Craster had good strength and reputation, so the World Government thought he was suitable and agreed to his self-recommendation.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before Craster becomes the first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, this matter was discovered by Marshal Cyborg.

The Navy and the World Government have different needs, and have different views on the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Craster is obviously a very dangerous person. If he is allowed to grow for a few years, he may achieve great things in the future.

Besides, the navy has a deep hatred for him, so how could they let him become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

That's so infuriating.

Therefore, Admiral Cyborg decided to send Diarmuid to kill this guy before the recruitment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea came down, so as to prevent him from becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and causing trouble for the navy.

This "bad idea" was originally the plan proposed by Diarmait at the meeting to deal with the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.

So he took on the job without hesitation.

Are you kidding? The only person Diarmait recognized as the first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was the wandering White Hunter. Smoker!

Before Smoker became one of the Shichibukai, Diarmait was not prepared to let anyone else become one of the Shichibukai.

Recovering from his chaotic thoughts, Diarmait smiled and said, "Because that guy wants to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

As a brigadier general, Vergo can participate in some meetings, but is not qualified to participate in others. Obviously, he is not qualified when it comes to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After hearing Diarmait's response, he was still a little confused and said, "General, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Our navy strongly resists the Seven Warlords of the Sea system. You should understand that, right?" Diarmait asked.
