From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

It makes it seem like you, Captain, are a good person and have never had sex.

Of course, Smoker also noticed the strange looks from his subordinates, and secretly said happily in his heart, "You think I'm here for fun? Ugh, I might become a marine again today. I'm almost twenty years old in a blink of an eye. The admiral personally promised me back then that I would be a full-fledged rear admiral in the Marine Headquarters! The future is limitless, and the fate between us may end here. The next time we meet, I, your captain, might personally take you to Impeldown..."

But thinking about it carefully, there is still some affection between them over the past two years. Due to his control and orders, these pirate brothers under his command are not evil people. Apart from dealing with those nobles, they have not done any messy things. If possible, let's give it a try and see if we can recruit them all into the navy?

By then, as a major general, he would of course have subordinates under him. If these pirates could walk on the right path, it would be worth their two years of getting along with each other.

Just like that, while Smoker was fantasizing about his bright future in the Navy Headquarters, his ship slowly docked in the port.

"Okay, go find some fun on yourselves, I have other things to do!" Smoker hurriedly ordered, and then without even putting down the ladder, he jumped directly from the deck into the harbor.

The young pirate on the ship was filled with emotion as he watched his captain rushing hurriedly towards a group of beauties waiting at the port.

Look, the great pirates are different, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are so powerful, and when they come to this island, they are personally received by so many beautiful women.

But isn't our captain a little too lustful?

The ship hasn't even docked yet, is he going to go and kill everyone?

After counting carefully, there are seven or eight beautiful girls in that group. Can he handle them all by himself?

If it really doesn't work, as the captain's loyal subordinate, I can still serve you!

Group sex and stuff... I can accept that!

"Lord Smoker, welcome..." The tanned beauty who had received Diarmait a few days ago greeted Smoker with a smile after seeing him.

But Smoker was completely devoid of gentlemanly manners. His mind was now filled with thoughts of justice, the navy, and Marineford. Before the beautiful woman could finish her words, Smoker waved his hand hastily, saying, "Stop talking nonsense! Lead the way! I'm in a hurry!"

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This pirate is a piece of shit, he has no manners at all and is extremely rude. Just look at the admiral of the navy two days ago, how graceful he was.

However, she did not find it strange that the Seven Warlords of the Sea had a secret meeting with the Admirals of the Navy. After all, theoretically, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were also under the World Government.

It is reasonable for both parties to occasionally talk about some secrets.

What's more, this woman is Stussy's confidant and won't say anything extra.

"Yes, please follow me." The beauty said unhappily, and then left the port with Smoker.

Smoker nodded, straightened his clothes with an expectant look, and followed with firm steps.

Soon, under the guidance of these beauties, he arrived at the gate of Stussy's courtyard. Sure enough, those beauties had no intention of going in. They said a few more words to Smoker and left.

And Smoker looked at the house with some emotion in his eyes.

As someone who had lived in Marineford, he had been to Zephyr's house many times. It could be seen that the design of this courtyard was influenced by the headquarters.

For a moment, I had a lot of feelings in my heart.

"Should I renovate my house like this when I get back?" Smoker thought to himself.

But he soon shook his head, smiled and said to himself, "No need for that. I'll be back in the navy in six months at most. With my status as Rear Admiral or even Vice Admiral Smoker, I'll be able to live in a house like this by then..."

After expressing his feelings, Smoker walked into the courtyard with confidence and great interest.

Not long after, after passing through some green plants, Smoker saw Tina watering the flowers.

His eyes lit up, and he waved to Tina happily, "Hey, Tina, long time no see, hahahahaha."

Tina, who was watering the plants, heard the voice and responded happily: "Smoker, it's really you!"

"It seems you already know? The truth about why I left Marineford?" Smoker asked with a smile.

"Of course, I am General Diarmait's secretary now, and I know a lot of secrets." Tina nodded and said proudly.

"Really? But how come you're still a lieutenant colonel? Although I'm a pirate now, I'm essentially a rear admiral of the navy. Hahahaha, you have to work harder to catch up with me." Smoker said arrogantly.

After a brief pause, before Tina could speak, Smoker asked again, "The Admiral asked me to come here this time to arrange for me to return to headquarters, right? Hahaha?"

Tina's expression was a little awkward, then she said, "The general is inside, go ask him yourself."

Smoker didn't think much of it and nodded to Tina, saying, "Yes, I should go and hear this important news from the general in person!"

After saying that, Smoker didn't bother with this friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He walked quickly into the house.

Tina looked at Smoker's excited back and shook her head with some emotion, saying, "Life is so unpredictable, Smoker..."

As soon as he entered the door, Smoker saw General Diarmait, whom he had been thinking about, sitting on the sofa and chatting with a woman opposite him.

He knew that woman, the Queen of Pleasure Street. Stussy, a renowned figure in the Dark World, was also a formidable figure in the New World.

I just didn't expect that she actually had connections with the navy, and it seemed like she had a very good relationship with the admiral.

Could it be that she is also an undercover agent like herself?

But things are different now, I am going to resume my identity as a navy!

Thinking of this, Smoker looked at Stussy with an inexplicable look of arrogance.

Stussy is a top agent and the queen of Happy Street. She is very good at observing people's words and expressions. But when she took a quick look at Smoker, she felt a little strange. What is this guy so proud of?

What's there to be proud of?

Without further ado, Smoker walked up to Diarmait, stood at attention, saluted, and said with full force, "Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Smoker, greetings to you, Admiral Diarmait!"

Smoker was almost moved to tears when he said this. How long had it been? Over two years, so many days and nights, he had always wanted to give a fair and open military salute, to prove his identity as a navy.

Now, I finally got what I wanted!

Diarmait looked at Smoker and was filled with emotion.

I don't know if this guy did it on purpose, but he was wearing the same justice vest he wore when he was in the navy. The only difference was that there was a big cross drawn on the word "justice" on the back.

When he walked in just now, he still had a strong pirate temperament, but when he saluted, he looked just like when he was in the military academy.

"Okay, okay, Major General Smoker, thank you for your hard work!" Diarmait stood up, patted Smoker's shoulder seriously, and said sincerely.

"Everything for justice!" Smoker shouted.

"Very good. I am proud to have someone like you in the navy!" Diarmuid nodded and praised.

Only then did Smoker hurriedly ask, "General, have you summoned me this time because my mission is complete? Calculating the time, it's already mid-1505. It's been two and a half years since I left Marineford. Shouldn't it be another six months at most before I can return to Marineford and don the Cloak of Justice?"

Diarmait looked a little embarrassed, then cleared his throat and said, "Has it been three years so soon? Come on, Smoker, take a seat first. Let me introduce you to Ms. Stussy..."

Diarmait changed the subject and pulled Smoker to sit down. Although Smoker was a little puzzled, he didn't think much of it. He sat down with a smile and said, "I know her. The Queen of Pleasure Street is very famous in the New World."

"Really? But with your authority, you probably don't know. In fact, Stussy is the senior operations commander of CP-0 and a member of the World Government. Of course, I have a good personal relationship with her, and she is also someone worthy of our navy's trust." Diarmait nodded and introduced.

Smoker was stunned for a moment. He had thought Stussy was a navy, but it turned out to be a CP?

However, seeing that General Diarmait seemed to trust her, she did not feel any repulsion and nodded, saying, "It is a pleasure to truly meet you, Ms. Stussy."

"I'm glad to meet you too, Major General Smoker." Stussy said with a smile.

She didn't call King Smoker his Seven Warlords of the Sea, which made Smoker very happy. He smiled and said, "Thank you."

Then, before Diarmait could speak again, Smoker asked impatiently, "General, when can I return to headquarters?"

"Ah," Diarmait hesitated for a moment, then said, "Speaking of which, I was just about to tell you something, Smoker. Our navy is also in a difficult situation right now. You may not know this, but the suppression from above is very severe, so our navy has to seek some new ways to alleviate this pressure."

"Really? Then I should go back to the headquarters and serve us!" Smoker said without hesitation.

Diarmait's face twitched slightly. How come you keep talking about going back to the headquarters? Isn't it a good career as a pirate, which has a very promising future?

"No, in fact, you can still serve justice even if you don't return to the headquarters." Diarmuid said quickly.

Smoker was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "No. ...What do you mean by not returning to headquarters?"

"Plans cannot keep up with changes (Lino's), Smoker, maybe you have to work for a while longer." Diarmait said with a little guilt.

Smoker's reaction wasn't particularly intense. Although a slight delay would be unpleasant, he could still accept it. So Smoker nodded and said, "How long will it take?" Diarmait looked at Smoker's sincere gaze and said in a somewhat guilty tone, "Three...three years?" Smoker???

Another three years???

"General, this is different from what we agreed on originally. If you let me persist for another year or two, I would have agreed without hesitation. But we agreed on three years, and now another three years. This..." Smoker said impatiently.

"If you think about it carefully, it's just doubling that one or two years. It's not a big problem." Diarmait comforted him.

"It's not a big problem?" Smoker was stunned for a moment, then said in a slightly excited tone: "This is a big problem. Three years, do you know how I spent these three years?" "Smoker, listen to me..." Diarmait said quickly.

"Smoker is dead! You chose the idol!" Smoker said in a somewhat irritable tone.

The original excitement has now turned into disappointment.

Diarmait? ? Bar?

He was really afraid that Smoker would roar again, "I have Whitebeard for sure, even Jesus can't stop him, I say!"

(I know that you big guys still have stocks. There will be more flowers later. Big guys, please give me all the flowers quickly. They are refreshed every day anyway. They will be useless if you keep them!).

Chapter 214: If you, Smoker, are a pirate for life, I don’t need to worry about it, right? (Five more chapters, extra chapters with flowers!)

After a moment of silence, Diarmait said quickly, "Can you calm down?"

"Calm down? How can I calm down? I'm afraid of talking in my sleep every day. If I let something slip, I'll expose my identity as a navy!" Smoker frowned.

Without waiting for Diarmait to speak, the hot-tempered Diarmait slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "We agreed on three years back then, and now there are three more years after that. Does that mean there will be another three years after that? That would be almost ten years, Boss? I'm a marine, not a pirate!"

"Can you be nicer to me? Now there are only a few people in the entire Marine Headquarters who know your identity. Otherwise, I will go back and delete your file, and everyone will shut up. You can be a pirate for the rest of your life, and I won't have to bother you!" Diarmait also slammed the table and said.

Smoker was scolded by Diarmait, and his momentum was suppressed.

Honestly, even though he's very unhappy right now, if Diarmait went back and deleted his file, leaving him to be a pirate for the rest of his life, he really couldn't accept it. …

Seeing that Smoker had calmed down a little, Diarmait continued, "It was Mr. Zephyr who told you the three-year agreement. What's the point of getting angry at me now? If you have the guts, go to the headquarters and point at his nose and scold him!" Smoker wanted to say something but stopped, but finally shut his mouth.

"Now that we've spoken, I'm not afraid to tell you, Smoker, that the Shichibukai plan has a profound impact on our navy. Don't take it lightly. Our navy selected you to be one of the Shichibukai because we trust you, your unwavering justice, your outstanding abilities and strength. We let you sit in this position for the future of the navy. In other words, you shoulder the future of the navy. Do you understand?"

Are you going to throw a tantrum with me now?!" Diarmait slammed the table again and shouted angrily.

For a moment, Smoker didn't know whether Diarmait was praising him or scolding him.

But at this time, Diarmait's momentum was so heavy that he dared not stab.

Although he felt very aggrieved and helpless, he really couldn't rebel, quit his job, and become a real pirate.

There is no way, he really has this unshakable justice in his heart.

"No, Admiral, I just..." Smoker's tone softened and he shook his head.

Seeing this, Diarmait also restrained his momentum and sighed, "I know what you mean. It's difficult for you too. You are clearly a rear admiral, but you have to be a pirate outside, and you are also carrying the reputation of being a 'running dog of the World Government'. The pressure is huge, and for a while you can't control your bad temper. I understand all this, and I don't mean to scold you..."

"Admiral..." Smoker was slightly moved when he heard this. The Admiral still understands me!

"But in this world, there are always people who have to carry the burden forward. It's the same for me, and it's the same for you. It's because of thousands and thousands of people like you and me that more people can survive in this chaotic era. Do you understand?" Diarmuid said earnestly.
