From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

However, neither Diarmait nor the Marshal paid any attention to him.

"Really? If we can eradicate Amazon Lily's pirate label at its root and make them a normal nation, it would be a very good thing for our navy..." Marshal Cyborg nodded in satisfaction. He then smiled and pulled out another document from the drawer. "Here, it's from the World Government." Diarmait took the document and glanced at it, a smile playing on his face.

This document was a proposal for White Hunter Smoker, who had a bounty of 260 million berries, to become one of the Shichibukai.

This proposal, as expected, was initiated by the CP agency.

When Diarmait was in Marijoa, he discussed this matter with Queen Stusi.

After learning the truth about the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy's arrangements for this, Queen Stussy was also shocked, but she quickly agreed to this method.

Because she can benefit from it too!

And there are many benefits.

Afterwards, she also agreed to help build momentum within the CP organization.

Now, after several months of delay, Her Majesty the Queen has finally finalized this matter.

"That's great. How do you respond to the above?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

"Of course I refused sternly. After all, Smoker is the 'stain' of our navy. But it seems that because of this, the higher-ups would rather Smoker, who doesn't get along with me, join the Seven Warlords of the Sea. This will help them curb our navy... hehe." Marshal Cyborg said with a smile.

"And then?" Diarmuid asked with a smile.

"And then, there is nothing else. Unless we quickly destroy Smoker like we did with Craster, the World Government will definitely make him one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Before that, I have secretly informed Smoker to hide, and at the same time sent Kuzan to capture that guy under the banner of eliminating Smoker." Marshal Cyborg said cunningly.

“What a complete show…” Diarmait laughed.

After a brief pause, Diarmait continued, "Speaking of which, Amazon Lily's Boa Hancock, I plan to train her for a few years and arrange for her to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. With her status as a member of the Nine Snakes Pirates, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Just do whatever you want." Marshal Cyborg said.

(There will be a sixth update later, and additional updates for monthly tickets! It’s the last one or two days left, guys, if you have monthly tickets, please send them out quickly, otherwise they will be useless after the expiration date! By the way, please give me some flowers!) Tacky.

Right

Chapter 185: Lieutenant Bellemere of the 19th Branch of the East China Sea! (Sixth update, additional update for monthly tickets)

It was early June of 1504 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Diarmuid's warship slowly entered the port of the 19th branch of the East China Sea Navy.

More than two months had passed since he asked for leave in Marineford, until G-7 picked him up in Gion, and then wandered all the way to Tokai.

And a lot of things have indeed happened in the past two months.

Vice Admiral Kuzan of the Marine Headquarters fought a fierce battle with White Hunter Smoker on Shift Island in the first half of the Grand Line, but the two sides were evenly matched, and Smoker managed to escape.

Of course, this is all acted out.

It was because of this incident that Kuzan was "punished". At the same time, Smoker was officially recruited by the World Government as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea within the next two weeks.

At this point, White Hunter Smoker became the first of the Shichibukai since the establishment of the Shichibukai organization.

The bounty has temporarily stopped at 260 million berries.

Smoker's joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea caused a huge uproar on the sea.

Speaking of which, although the policy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has been implemented for a long time, no one has really joined in it.

There were rumors before that Craster would become the first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea due to the blood plague.

As a result, they were wiped out by the navy in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, many people have realized that if they want to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they must pass the navy.

Before this, many people were thinking about how to smooth the relationship with the navy and gain the navy's recognition, such as Don Quixote and Doflamingo.

And now, Smoker has proved the feasibility of another method, which is to confront the navy head-on. As long as the navy can't do anything to you and delay for a while, the World Government can arrange for you to officially become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

And once you become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the navy will have no reason to take action against you.

At the same time, the incident with Smoker also proved that not everyone who wanted to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would be targeted by the admirals.

If you are lucky, you may even meet Lieutenant General 12.

I have to say that Kuzan messed up his reputation a little bit this time, and many people began to look down on him.

There were rumors that it was no wonder that Kuzan didn't become a candidate for general like Sakaski and Borsalino, because it turned out that his reputation was not good enough.

But it seems that he doesn't care about these things.

The higher-ups in the headquarters all knew what was going on, so naturally no one would blame him for it.

Even the punishment is just for show to the World Government.

The warship slowly anchored at the port of the 19th Branch of the East China Sea Navy.

Then a burly figure immediately jumped down from the boat. This guy was not Diarmait, but the old and unruly Garp.

That’s right, although Diarmait severely stopped and scolded this guy Garp, and even showed off his status as a general and asked him not to go with him.

But this guy Cap was completely shameless. He got on Diarmait's ship by begging for mercy and couldn't be driven away.

What can you do with such a shameless person?

The only way was to beat him up, but this guy was so strong that Diarmuid was not sure he could beat him, so he had no choice but to accept this bastard.

At the same time, because this guy Garp shamelessly got on board, Tina found an opportunity. This guy took the opportunity to get on board using the excuse of "I am going on vacation with Mr. Garp".

Fortunately, Gion didn't care about these things at all. She and Garp were old friends and had a very good relationship.

In private, Gion always calls Garp "Little Garp, Garp-chan" such funny names.

But Karp didn't care at all.

As for Tina, she is currently considered Gion's good friend and little follower. Although Gion has also noticed that Tina seems to have some improper thoughts about Diarmait, he unexpectedly has no intention of stopping her.

I don’t know what this woman is thinking.

The commander of the 19th branch of the East China Sea Navy, a captain, had been waiting at the port for a long time. As soon as Garp landed, he immediately stepped forward, saluted with a standing attention, and said, "Vice Admiral Garp, thank you for your hard work."

Garp nodded carelessly and said, "You guys are the ones who have worked hard. You did a good job on Gothic Island before. How are things going now?"

The branch captain said with a slightly helpless expression, "Although we won, the losses were quite severe. Speaking of which, our East China Sea hasn't seen a battle involving tens of thousands of troops in many years. Many sailors lack relevant battlefield experience and their mental state isn't great. Many are hoping to apply for retirement."

At this moment, Diarmait also slowly walked down from the warship, while Gion and Tina were whispering something behind him.

"This kind of thing can't be forced. We need to provide psychological counseling first. If anyone else wants to apply for retirement later, we must take care of their emotions and provide them with all the necessary subsidies. Then we can approve it." Diarmait said in a deep voice.

The colonel was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes, General Diarmuid!"

After a brief pause, he continued, "Regarding psychological counseling, we immediately began working on it. Over the past two months, we've seen some results, but there are still many people who hope to be approved for retirement."

"Then do as Diarmuid says." Garp nodded.

This is how it is. In fact, it is not just the East China Sea Navy. Even in the headquarters, many people apply for retirement every year due to war trauma...most of them are psychological problems.

This is a common problem that cannot be solved.

Therefore, in most cases, psychological counseling is done first. If it is ineffective, then the only option is to part ways amicably.

There is no point in forcing them to stay, and it will also affect the overall morale of the navy.

"You've done a good job. Are you interested in developing in our headquarters?" Diarmuid asked with a smile.

"Me? Is it okay?" the branch colonel said with a delighted expression.

"What's your name?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

At this time, the branch colonel seemed to realize that he had not yet introduced his identity. This was a big oversight. Maybe it was because Garp's sudden appearance disrupted his steps?

So he quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Excuse me, Captain Brannu, Commander of the 19th Naval Base in the East China Sea, sends his greetings."

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, looking at his fluffy dark green hair, and then he realized that this guy was Brannu, the conference master who later joined the Navy Headquarters and rose to the position of brigadier general.

It is not clear how capable he is, but he often does some clerical work in the headquarters, organizing and explaining meetings, reporting the situation to various bosses, etc.

But if I remember correctly, it was more than ten years later that he was promoted to the position of major in the Naval Headquarters.

It was probably due to his accumulated experience, and the fact that the navy's style had become more radical, that two years later he suddenly became a brigadier general.

I didn't expect that this guy came from the East China Sea.

After all, he was a righteous guy, and Diarmait had no bad impression of him, so he gave him a hand and said, "Very good, Colonel Brannu, after you finish the things here, you can report to the headquarters." "Yes, thank you, General!" Brannu responded quickly.

Some people, after taking the position of branch base leader, hold great power and do not hope to be transferred to the headquarters.

But some people's ideal is to join the headquarters.

Obviously, Branno is the latter.

Afterwards, Diarmait and Vice Admiral Garp visited the wounded in the Battle of Gothic Island. To be honest, it had been almost three months, and many people had recovered from their injuries.

At the same time, Brannu also suggested that Diarmait and Garp could communicate with those navy officers who applied for retirement. He believed that if they could get encouragement from navy heroes and admirals, perhaps many people would be re-motivated and give up the idea of ​​retirement.

Diarmuid and Garp had come to appease these branch navies, and they certainly had no intention of rejecting such a correct proposal.

Soon, the two of them met with many sailors who applied for retirement.

It’s true that quite a few navy officers were re-energized after seeing the two of them.

In a military camp, Diarmait was sitting on a simple bench, holding a glass of water in his hand, looking at a new navy soldier who had just walked in.

What was rare was that she was a woman with long rose-red hair, but the sides of her hair were shaved into a crew cut, making her look very heroic.

Looking at her appearance, although she cannot be said to be particularly beautiful, she can still be called a beauty.

"Lieutenant of the 19th branch of the East China Sea Navy. Bellmère sends his greetings to you, Admiral Diarmait!" Bellmère said with a very serious expression.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment. He felt that this woman looked familiar from the beginning, and when he heard her name, he suddenly remembered her.

It turned out to be her, Bell-mère, Nami and Nojigo's adoptive mother.

In an instant, many details that he had forgotten came to his mind. If he remembered correctly, the battle of Gothic Island, involving tens of thousands of people, destroyed all the towns on the island. Although the navy won the victory, it also paid a heavy price.

It was during this war that Bellemere was seriously injured and lost her will to live. At the same time, it was at this moment that she saw three-year-old Nojigo holding one-year-old Nami and crying helplessly on the battlefield.

This scene aroused her will to survive, and she survived the cruel battlefield and adopted Nojiko and Nami.

"Lieutenant..." Diarmait murmured softly, then smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous 573, please sit down, you are all heroes of the navy." "Yes, thank you Admiral Diarmait!" Bell-mère replied with a smile.

She had a generous and open-minded personality. She sat down without any hesitation.

"You look very young, Lieutenant Bellmère." Diarmait started chatting with her with a smile.

"Well, I joined the navy when I was sixteen, and I'm just twenty this year." Bellmère scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
