From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But in fact, Kake is also very sensible in doing things. First of all, he will never touch anyone. Secondly, he is always open and aboveboard and never does anything fancy. Finally, whenever Gion rejects him righteously, he will not continue to pester her for a while.

He will not attack again until three or two months later.

It has to be said that Gion's harsh rejection without leaving any room for negotiation, and Kake's gentlemanly demeanor to a certain extent, both prove that they are both quite good people.

Because of this, Gion only found Kake annoying, but did not dislike him.

“Really?” Diarmait murmured, then paused for a moment and asked seriously, “Gion, you…”

But when the words came to his lips, Diarmait stopped, laughed at himself and said, "Nothing."

There was silence on the Den Den Mushi for a while. After about ten seconds, Gion said softly, "Diarmuid, if you had said what you wanted to say just now, then our relationship would have ended there and we wouldn't even be friends anymore. Fortunately, you still have a conscience."

Diarmait leaned against the wall and touched his nose. Even though there was no one in the corridor, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Just now he wanted to ask Gion, are you using me as a shield or something?

But just as he was about to say it, he suddenly realized that this sentence was tantamount to the greatest insult to Gion.

Since when did Gion need a shield?

This inquiry questioned her character, and at the same time, questioned Gion's silent devotion to Diarmuid over the past few years.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Diarmuid apologized seriously.

Gion was quiet for a moment, then said, "Just apologizing won't do any good."

"Hahahaha, really? After the World Conference is over, let's take a vacation together?" Diarmuid said in a suddenly much more relaxed tone.

Gion on the Den Den Mushi side looked a little surprised, then a gentle smile appeared in his eyes and he said, "I've known you for so many years, and this is the first time you've asked me out." "After all, I've treated you to drinks many times, right?" Diarmait complained.

"But they are not two separate people." Gion raised his eyebrows.

“Tsk…” Diarmait smacked his lips unhappily at first, then, as if feeling guilty, he changed the subject and said, “You wouldn’t contact me for this reason, would you? This isn’t like you…”

"Sometimes I can't stop missing you. Suddenly I see something and think of you, so I call Den Den Mushi. Isn't that reasonable? What's more... there are traces of you everywhere in G-7, and I can't forget you even if I want to." Gion suddenly said.

This sudden and obscure confession left Diarmait bewildered.

However, before he could react, Gion seemed embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying, "We captured a slave ship in the Calm Belt..."

Diarmait's mind was in a mess, and he responded instinctively: "Well, a slave ship... Hmm? A slave ship? What is this? Do I need to report this to you?" I am the admiral of the navy, and although I seem a little lazy now, I don't have much to do except dealing with some daily documents.

But you don't have to report the matter of a mere slave ship to me, right?

Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?

But soon, Diarmuid came to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that some royal family of an allied country was captured in there?" From the end of 1503 in the Haiyuan calendar to the beginning of 1504 in the Haiyuan calendar, the sea was in great chaos during this period.

In other words, a large number of people are ready to move, including bounty hunters, pirates, slave traders, black market traders, and messy mafias.

The main reason for their confusion is that soon the sea will be full of fat sheep.

In fact, the opening of each world conference can be regarded as a hunting feast for these chaotic people.

The prey of these people are naturally the royal families of the member states.

These great nobles who rarely leave their country will set off for Mary Geoise during this period to prepare to participate in the World Conference.

Some countries can be escorted by naval fleets, while others set out on their own.

But whether they have naval protection or not, they are rare fat sheep.

Once they are caught during this period, not only can a ransom be extorted from the member states, but the World Government will also have to find a way to appease these kidnappers in order to maintain the stable operation of the World Conference.

Basically, at every world conference, there will be a few unlucky royals who get kidnapped.

What is even more surprising is that after being kidnapped, no one will kill you or anything like that. As long as you pay the ransom, you will be returned safely.

This has become a set of unspoken rules!

Therefore, before the start of each World Conference, the Navy will increase its efforts to clean up various sea areas. Generally speaking, for these people, the doldrums is a very good hiding place. Of course, the prerequisite is that your ship must have the ability to survive in the doldrums.

There are two reasons, simply put. The first is naturally because the doldrums are a no-man's land and are very wild. Few people go in, so the safety is very high.

Secondly, the Calm Belt connects the Grand Line to the Four Seas, making it easier for them to launch surprise attacks and kidnap...

Therefore, when Gion suddenly contacted Diarmait at this time and said that a slave ship had been captured in the doldrums, Diarmait instinctively thought of this.

Could it be that some unlucky royal family has been captured?

"They are indeed a royal family, but they are not from a member state." Gion smiled and said softly.

"Not an allied country? What do you mean?" Diarmait asked curiously.

But soon, Diarmait seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed. "Amazon. Lily?"

Gion, who was originally planning to tease Diarmait, was also stunned and asked in disbelief, "How did you know?"

“I guessed it…” Diarmait said with a smile in his eyes.

"Well, that's really boring," Gion muttered, then said calmly, "We were on patrol at Iron Ore Island No. 7, escorting some iron ore back to G-. As we neared Iron Ore Island No. , we suddenly discovered a slave ship anchored on the sea. Firstly, for justice—combating this kind of crime is our navy's duty—and secondly, to cover up our various actions in the doldrums—Doberman attacked the slave ship without hesitation, and of course, easily captured it."

"And you discovered the Amazons. The Lily people?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

"Well, their identities are very powerful. The crown princes of Amazon Lily are three sisters named Boa Hancock, Boa Marigold, and Boa Sandersonia. What's more coincidental is that the royal bloodline of Amazon Lily's generation is only these three sisters, but they were all caught by the slave-catching team at once. In other words, now Amazon Lily must be. 573..." Gion said with a smile.

"It must have been a huge mess. The royal bloodline suddenly became extinct... This is a very serious problem for any country." Diarmait also laughed.

However, he was somewhat surprised. As far as he could remember, the three Hancock sisters were sold to Mary Geoise around next year and became slaves of the Celestial Dragons...

How come it came earlier?

But he soon realized that being sold to Marijoa as a slave was one thing, and being caught by the slave squad was another.

Sailing on the sea and finding buyers take a certain amount of time, and it is very normal for the process to take more than a year.

So he didn't think much about it.

"Yes, it's a very serious question. And I have the impression that you are very interested in this pirate country. This may be an opportunity." Gion said seriously.

"Well, Amazon. The reason why Lily became a pirate nation is actually because it is remote and cannot communicate normally with other countries. Therefore, this country can still be saved. ... It is also a good thing for us to be able to save their crown prince this time. However, I don’t have time to go to G-7 to deal with these things now. Let’s wait until the World Conference is over. You detain them all in G-7 and take care of them. After you finish the things here, you can make arrangements for them." Diarmait ordered.

"I understand." Gion responded quickly.

At this point, Diarmait seemed to recall the little girl Robin, whom he had rescued from O'Hara and then abandoned in G-7 without any care.

So he asked casually, "By the way, where's Robin? How is she doing recently?"

"Robin is very sensible. Recently, he has been studying how to join the navy in the shortest time possible." Gion said with a smile.

After Robin was rescued by Diarmait, this man did not take any responsibility and simply left her to Gion to be taken care of.

Therefore, in the past two years, Gion and Robin have had a close relationship.

Diarmuid was also confused when he heard this. Nicole. Robin wanted to join the navy?

What's happening here?

"It's good that she doesn't harbor any deep hatred towards our navy, but why is she even thinking of joining the navy?" Diarmait asked in surprise.

Chapter 171: A Few Things About the Navy Headquarters? (Second Update)

From Nico Robin's perspective, the navy is undoubtedly her enemy.

The reason was very simple. The navy suddenly broke into the island where she lived, and without saying a word, they killed all the scholars she respected. At the same time, they also destroyed O'Hara.

That wasn't all, Diarmait personally imprisoned her mother in Impelton, essentially sentencing her to life imprisonment.

Isn't this considered an enemy?

But from Diarmait's perspective, Diarmait saved Robin and her mother's lives.

But it's impossible to explain this to Robin.

Therefore, the idea of ​​saving Robin is very simple. It is just because of some good feelings towards her in the previous life. He does not want her to die, nor does he want her to be as miserable as in the original story and live in darkness all the time. This is normal.

After that, Diarmait never cared about her again.

He had no intention of changing her mind, nor did he intend to do anything to her. At most, he could use her to threaten Olbia in the future.

This is a bit despicable.

But there's nothing much to say.

Therefore, in the past two years, Diarmait had not paid any attention to Nico Robin and had tried to minimize his contact with her.

As a result, I asked casually today and learned from Gion that Robin is trying hard to find a way to join the navy. What the hell is going on?

"There's a grudge, right?" Gion murmured, then added, "But over the past two years, she's been well taken care of by our navy in G-7, and I've been very good to her. Perhaps, to some extent, her feelings about the navy have changed. Also, I asked her the reason, and she said that if she became a navy member, if she became an important figure in the navy, she might have the power to pardon her mother, Olbia, from Impelton..."

"In other words, she is planning to use this method to save her mother?" Diarmuid murmured softly, and he understood a little.

She's just a ten-year-old child. What other options can we expect from her?

If you think about it carefully, it’s actually quite simple to reverse-engineer Robin’s mental state after learning the result.

First of all, the navy had left a very deep impression on O'Hara, no doubt, and the most profound impression was the strength of the navy.

Therefore, perhaps from the very beginning, Robin never thought of saving her mother from any other angle.

She never even thought about how to defeat the navy.

So, if you can't beat them, then joining them is also a reasonable behavior.

Perhaps she thought that only by joining the navy and making enough contributions could she exchange it for pardon for her mother Olbia.

Even if she is not so successful, as long as she becomes a high-ranking officer in the navy, no one in Imperial will be able to bully her mother. She can even use her status to visit her mother in Imperial.

This is nothing more than a little girl's deep longing for her mother.

It was the best solution she could think of.

As for hatred, perhaps as Gion said, in O'Hara, she may have regarded the navy as a demon that destroyed her hometown.

But after living in G-7 for two years, she must have had deep contact with the navy and could feel that the navy was not evil and cruel.

On the contrary, it is gentle and just.

At the same time, given Robin's precocity and intelligence, he should have considered O'Hara's matter from the perspective of the navy.

Perhaps she is still extremely conflicted and has a very complicated mentality.

But maybe it's true that there's more to the Navy than just simple hatred.

In short, there should be many reasons, but now, the ten-year-old little Loli Robin not only did not choose the path of a historian, but on the contrary, she resolutely prepared to join the navy, hold a high position, and save her mother.
