From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

So we just went with the flow and it developed naturally into this.

But that's where it ends. This kind of fighting-oriented communication is just a way for the two to deepen their connection with each other, and the foundation of their relationship can never be based on feelings like "liking, being happy, and loving."

Ultimately, what is truly unshakable is always interests.

The two of them were in a situation where cooperation was beneficial to both sides. Diarmait used the power and military force in his hands to support Stussi several times in the New World.

Stussy even leaked important information to Diarmait many times, and they had a very pleasant cooperation.

Now, they have Dorag’s revolutionary army as a common interest, so the relationship between the two is still very close.

Stussy rolled his eyes at Diarmait, then stood up wrapped in a thin blanket and leaned against the wall. The charm that naturally emanated from him made Diarmait eager to fight. If time hadn't been short... maybe he could have fought again.

"Even if it has nothing to do with any feelings, I am still a woman, okay? So I still have the possessiveness. Can you be more careful next time and not be so ruthless..." Stussy said unhappily.

Diarmait wanted to say, isn’t this the Gion you mentioned?

But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them. He nodded and said, "I understand. I will be gentler next time."

"Heh, men, don't you cherish it now that you have it?" Stussy pretended to be angry again.

"If I remember correctly, I got you, a beautiful lady, four years ago." Diarmait complained.

Stussy seemed to be in a better mood because of the word "beautiful woman". He walked past Diarmait and went into the bathroom. "Think about it carefully, it's not me who is at a disadvantage."

"Isn't that natural? Don't you know how many heroic and beautiful girls in the navy are willing to pursue me? As long as I nod, they will line up from Mary Geoise to Marineford. You are taking advantage of me, just be happy about it..." Diarmait said as he put the Cloak of Justice on his shoulders.

Then he walked to the bedroom door, opened it, and said to the Queen who was washing in the bathroom in the room: "Then, see you in the new world?" "I don't believe you will come." Stussy said vaguely while brushing his teeth.

But soon, she was heard rinsing her mouth. Then, she poked her head out of the bathroom, threw a coquettish glance at Diarmait and said, "I'll contact you when I'm lonely, Admiral..." Diarmait glared at Stussy, then smiled and said, "When you're not lonely, you can also contact me, Queen Stussy..."

After saying this, Stussy turned his head back, and Diarmuid opened the door and left Stussy's house directly.

He did not go to the naval base in Mary Geoise. Instead, he went straight through Mary Geoise and took the bubble elevator to the port.

Sure enough, at this time, General Zhan Guo and others were all here, and the navy's warships had just docked in the port, ready to pick them up.

After seeing Diarmait, the Warring States general said meaningfully: "You better be more restrained, I don't want to ask about your private life, but that woman is very dangerous, don't do anything you shouldn't do." Diarmait grinned and said: "Don't worry, General, she and I have never had any feelings for each other." "It's good that you understand." The Warring States general nodded.

He believed that Diarmait was a reliable person in this regard. He had a vague sense of the relationship between Diarmait and Stussy, but there was no need for him to say much about such things. He trusted Diarmait and also trusted Diarmait's sense of proportion and ability.

Therefore, he never interfered in these matters, and he was convinced that Diarmait would never betray the interests of the Navy to the CP. Without dwelling on the issue, General Sengoku casually took a small box from an assistant behind him and handed it to Diarmait, saying, "Here, the Parahuman Sweet Fruit you requested." Diarmait took it with a smile, nodded, and said, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. It's not a big deal. You can use your authority to find it. I think you're just lazy." The Warring States general waved his hand.

This is also the truth. Although General Zhan Guo has taken over some of the marshal's affairs and seems very busy, in fact, in terms of authority, he and Diarmait are both general-level officers and have the same power in Mary Geoise.

"Hehehe, I've only been a general for a short time. I don't have as many connections in Mary Geoise as you do. Wouldn't it be more convenient this way?" Diarmuid said with a smile.

"Ah, speaking of which, His Majesty Cobra of Alabasta was waiting for you at the port just now. It's just that you didn't show up, so he left in the end. It seems like he and you got along really well. He wants to invite you to visit Alabasta." Admiral Sengoku first told Diarmait, then said, "That's a good idea. As a navy admiral, it would be beneficial for our navy if you maintain friendly relations with the royal families of various countries."

"It's okay. We've just chatted a few times during this period. As for Alabasta, forget it. I don't have time to go there now. I won't go back to the headquarters later, but will go directly to G-7..." Diarmait said with a smile.

The Warring States general nodded first, then reminded: "Then take a good bath after you get on board, you smell so good."

“Is it so obvious?” Diarmait raised his hand and asked his arm.

General of the Warring States Period, you are so powerful, can you recognize a woman by her scent?

As expected, when you were young, you and the Chief of Staff didn't get along. Was it because of your work style?

Maybe underneath your righteous face, there is a happy Buddha?

"Are you thinking of something rude?" The Warring States general frowned at Diarmait's strange expression.

Diarmait's face turned serious and he said, "How is it possible!?"

Chapter 178 Nicole Robin: I will work hard to become an excellent navy!

The military town of G-7 is now very prosperous, with various buildings standing in the town. Backed by tens of thousands of navy, it is extremely safe.

Most of the people living in the military town are families of navy personnel, so they naturally have a strong sense of belonging to the navy.

When the warship entered the port, many merchant ships and fishing boats made way for it.

Standing on the deck, Diarmait, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the military fortress with numerous artillery batteries in the distance, and felt somewhat satisfied.

Even though he has resigned as the head of the G-7 base, G-7's current strength comes from him.

Every time I come here, I can feel a sense of familiarity.

In contrast, he could not remember his so-called hometown in Beihai at all, and it had disappeared from his memory.

After the warship stopped, Diarmait walked down the ship calmly and saw Gion and Sauro waiting for him there.

At this time, Sauro's military rank had returned to the level of major general.

Away from the many disputes of the headquarters, G-7 is, on the contrary, more pure, without so many messy things. All it needs to do is cover up the loopholes in the Calm Belt Plan.

Therefore, the atmosphere of justice here is also quite strong.

Of course, Sauro didn't care at all about the hundreds of thousands of pirate prisoners in the calm belt behind him.

However, what Diarmait didn't know was that in the past two years, Sauro and Robin had also become good friends, which brought the story back to its origin.

But that tragic separation will probably never happen again.

I guess Robin won't learn Sauro's strange laugh.

When Gion saw Diarmait, her eyes lit up with joy and a smile. She walked over a few steps. Sauro was also very tactful and did not approach to disturb them. However, when Gion came over, Diarmait did not even greet her. Instead, he asked, "Where is Dauberman?" Gion's face froze, and she said unhappily, "In the Calm Belt."

"Really? Get ready. I plan to transfer that guy to the headquarters for development." Diarmuid nodded.

Although Gion knew Diarmait was talking about serious matters, he still said with some displeasure, "It's been so long since we last met, and the first thing you do when you see me is tell me about another man?" Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Oh? Is our beautiful navy girl jealous?"

"I'm beginning to doubt my judgment. Why would I fall for a guy like you?" Gion complained, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. After all, she was not the kind of woman who liked to fuss over trivial matters.

"Why are you suddenly transferring Doberman back to the headquarters? He's doing a great job at G-7. I always thought he was very suitable for the role of supervisor. The prisoners are all afraid of him." Gion asked.

Diarmuid flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "It's almost time for him to be promoted to Lieutenant General. Now, naturally, he should return to headquarters to gain two more years of experience. Then..."

Diarmuid paused, and Gion's eyes lit up with a smile and joy. He said, "It seems you are planning to let him take over G-7 as well?"

"Of course, that's what I planned from the beginning." Diarmait glanced at Sauro in the distance and continued, "After Dauberman is done, I'll have Sauro reinstated as Lieutenant General and take over G-7. Let him work for a few more years, and he'll be completely branded as Diarmait. When he returns to headquarters, I'll find a way to make him the commander of the Titans again. By then, my influence in headquarters will be even greater."

Gion nodded. She had nothing to say about Diarmait's plan. She was more concerned about other things.

"That means, after working for another two years, I can return to the headquarters, right?" Gion asked with a smile.

"Well, I'll have something to arrange for you when the time comes," Diarmait replied.

During the previous meeting in Mary Geoise, Diarmuid of course often communicated with Marshal Cyborg, General Sengoku, and Teacher Zephyr.

They are the real powerful figures in the navy, and their thoughts and ideas will affect the entire navy.

The scope of their conversation also focused on the New World.

According to General Sengoku, he plans to rebuild a naval base in the New World to enhance the influence of the navy.

This base is tentatively named G-5. In fact, the G-5 has been established for a long time and is a naval base with a long history.

But long before Diarmait came to Marineford from the North Sea to take up his post, G-5 had actually been destroyed by the pirates of the New World.

This time, it’s a restart plan.

The specific matters will be arranged by the Warring States general himself after he returns. It is estimated that it will take another year and a half from planning and preparation to implementation.

Diarmuid had no idea what the reconstruction of G-5 would look like this time.

But he had the impression that in the original story, G-5 was known as the navy's garbage dump, and problem children from the navy from all over the world would gather in G-5. Their violent and wild nature perfectly integrated into the environment of the New World. Walking in the New World as navy members, what they did was more like those of violent and evil pirates.

It’s just that the targets of their violence happen to be pirates.

In G-5, lynching is rampant, and resisting headquarters' orders and slaughtering pirates without trial are commonplace.

But don't even mention it, even though G-5 has various problems, and even the headquarters cut off their military funds, leaving them to fend for themselves in the New World and rely on captured spoils to maintain their organization, this also gave G-5 great autonomy.

But in this environment, G-5 was the most powerful and influential organization among the Navy's few bases in the New World at that time.

This is outrageous and fully demonstrates how weird the environment in the new world is.

Although Diarmuid is now a navy admiral, his main responsibilities are still in the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas.

But he knew very well that the future focus of the navy would definitely shift to the New World again.

Therefore, he also needed to have a direct combat force in the New World.

He set his sights on G-5 and planned to arrange for Gion to serve as the commander of G-5.

I believe that with Gion's strength and ability, he can definitely lead G-5 to be even better than in the original story.

However, Gion had not yet realized that even if she returned to the headquarters, she would not be able to stay with Diarmait for long before this ruthless man arranged her to work in the New World.

At this moment, Gion was still a little excited. Once he returned to Marineford, he would be able to spend every day with Diarmait. How wonderful!

"Let's go. It's not a big deal to stay at the port all the time." Diarmait said with a smile.

Then he walked inside. Gion imagined a bright future in his heart and followed Diarmait happily.

"Sauro, have you gained weight again?" Diarmuid teased, looking at Sauro's tall and strong figure.

"Hehehe, maybe. It's pretty easy in G-7. There aren't so many complicated tasks and trivial matters. I eat well and sleep well, so naturally I've become much stronger." Sauro said with a smile.

"I originally wanted to give you a vacation. Kuzan has been telling me about you a lot and wanted to go out with you. But it seems that you are not very busy, so forget it." Diarmait waved his hand and said jokingly.

"Kuzan? I haven't seen that guy for a long time. How is he now?" Sauro asked with a smile, not caring about whether it was a holiday or not.

"He's doing quite well. Compared to me, Sakaski, and Borsalino, he's the least stressed. He's been quite relaxed all day, and lately he's been studying philosophy..." Diarmait said with a smile. "Philosophy?" Sauro was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is that guy alright? Did someone break his brain during some mission?" "Don't worry, General Zhan Guo will be dealing with him when he returns. He won't be able to relax for long," Diarmait said with a smile.

Sauro also laughed when he heard this. In the headquarters, there were only two people who could make Kuzanzhi obey him completely and make him live or die.

One is General Sengoku, and the other is Vice Admiral Garp.

But under normal circumstances, Garp wouldn't care about these things at all. On the contrary, he might even "fall" with Kuzan.

So it was the Warring States general who kept urging Kuzan on.

Diarmait and Sauro were chatting in the front. Tina, who had not been able to get off the boat immediately and was arranging the follow-up matters, also caught up. Now she was following behind Diarmait and Sauro, whispering with Gion, and no one knew what they were talking about.

However, judging from the laughter of the two beauties, one big and one small, coming from behind from time to time, it seemed that they were getting along very happily.

As soon as he entered the building of G-7 base, Diarmait saw a little girl walking towards the door with a book titled "Command is also an Art" in her arms.

"Command is also an Art" is a military book of the navy, which talks about some simple command skills in naval battles. Of course, this book is widely circulated within the navy and is not something that needs to be kept secret.

However, the only people who would read these books are those ambitious navy officers, after all, command is a power that only officers have.
