From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

As for Garp, although he has not returned to the headquarters in the past two years, he has been in frequent contact with Garp. Or rather, Garp often contacts him unilaterally and shows off his grandson to him crazily.

After all, Sakaski was one of the first big guys in the navy to meet people like Ace and Luffy.

I don't know what Cap is thinking, but he always likes to show off to Sakaski.

After all this, the relationship between the two of them actually improved a lot.

Thinking of this, Sakaski suddenly asked, "Are Ace and the others okay?"

Although they hadn't seen each other much since their first meeting in Mary Joa, Karp often told him about it, so Sakaski still missed her.

Tina was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What's wrong?"

"I just suddenly thought of him. I heard that the kid was clamoring to become a navy admiral when he was five years old. I really like ambitious kids like him." Sakaski teased with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's right. He is very energetic now. Let's go and see him when you treat us to a drink." Tina said with a smile.

"Okay!" Sakaski nodded decisively.

In the original story, the guy who killed Ace with his own hands and had a blood feud with Garp has now embarked on another path.

After that, they didn't stay any longer. They walked towards the Justice Fortress of the headquarters, chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, Diarmait was in the conference room, holding a document and saying, "Currently, Princess Otohime of Fish-Man Island is actively promoting communication and contact with human society on the surface. I believe this is a good idea, and our navy should give it some support. Although the idea of ​​recruiting fish-men into the navy on a large scale has been proven to be a failure, recruiting individual members should still be possible, right? This might change something..."

Chapter 221: Warring States General: Diarmuid wants to secretly murder me! ?

Diarmuid had just finished speaking.

Marshal Cyborg spoke up, "Fishman Island connects the first half of the Grand Line with the New World. Its geographical location is particularly important, as it's the only way for pirates to enter the New World. If we can foster friendly relations with Fishman Island and station troops there, it will be extremely beneficial to our navy's strategic deployment to eliminate pirates."

Admiral Warring States also spoke at this time: "Not only that, if the relationship with Fish-man Island can be improved, our navy's deployment of military forces in the New World will be able to become faster and more powerful." At this moment, the flying squirrel hesitated and asked: "Improving relations should be necessary, but Admiral Warring States, isn't it too dangerous to deploy military forces from Fish-man Island into the New World?" Before this, the navy mostly entered the New World from Mary Geoise, and the number of times they entered the New World from Fish-man Island was not very many.

On the one hand, it’s because the relationship with Fishman Island is not very good, and on the other hand, it’s because the route to Marijoa is much safer than that of Fishman Island.

After all, Fishman Island is 10,000 meters below the sea. As long as you are still a human being, not a fishman or a mermaid, when you go down, you are handing your life over to the sea. Whether you can survive depends on the mood of the sea.

If you encounter a rapid current on the seabed, a rampage of sea kings, a large-scale attack by sea beasts, etc., then in the deep sea, even a warship will not be able to resist much.

In the past, when the navy transported warships to the New World, they mostly took this route, and often only seven or eight out of ten warships could be transported to the New World.

It is rare to get everything intact without losing anything.

So the flying squirrel's concerns are normal.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, many naval generals nodded and discussed this matter.

Isn't this the reason why the navy doesn't like to go through Fishman Island?

They are different from pirates. Pirates have no choice, but they can choose Mary Geoise.

We all work for justice and are not afraid of death, but we also don't want to die inexplicably in such a thing.

It's so sad to go to the New World to fight with full of enthusiasm, but end up drowning in the deep sea halfway.

While several lieutenant generals were discussing these things, Diarmait first took a sip of tea, then took out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

The sound was not loud, but the dispute in the conference room quickly died down, and Flying Squirrel and others all looked at the admiral.

Only then did Diarmait speak. "Your concerns are valid, which is why we must find ways to minimize the risks. But we can't retreat or hesitate just because of danger or difficulty, right? Since when did the Navy start to fear the sea? Why? Is Fishman Island no longer a member state? Is it no longer under our protection? Are the pirates allowed to take a route that we, the Navy, can't?"

After Diarmait finished speaking, the Flying Squirrel and the others did not refute him.

After a brief pause, Diarmuid knocked off the ash from his cigarette before continuing, "We can improve relations with Fish-Man Island and recruit some of the Murlocs to join the navy. We can add some escort missions to them. That is, when our warships from our headquarters pass through Fish-Man Island, they will escort them and protect us during the underwater voyage. This can greatly alleviate the threat. Secondly, this kind of military deployment is mainly used to deploy warships. The troops can separate from the warships and enter the New World from Marijoa, and then reunite with the warships. Although people will still be needed to escort the warships, if something goes wrong, our personnel losses will not be too great. After mutual trust is cultivated, we can even let the Murloc soldiers recruited into the navy be responsible for escorting the warships, further reducing this risk. As for whether the warships will be lost, compared with the ability to quickly enter the battle in the New World, this kind of loss is still affordable!"

Although Smoker was arranged to secretly build warships in the New World, all eggs cannot be put in one basket. There must be other ways to solve these problems.

As soon as Diarmait finished saying this (bccj), the eyes of Flying Squirrel and others lit up. Yes, if that’s the case, then it would be much better!

After a brief pause, Diarmait continued, "So, my proposal is to take advantage of Princess Otohime's friendly attitude towards the world above sea level and quickly contact her to build friendly relations between our navy and Fish-Man Island. It's this topic you should discuss now, not the danger of Fish-Man Island's route! Okay, on this topic, please express your opinions!"

After saying this, Diarmait stopped talking and leaned back in his chair, smoking a cigar very calmly.

At the same time, the generals of the navy began to discuss this matter.

"After all, Fishman Island is flying the Whitebeard flag..."

"But they are also allied nations. Would our navy be afraid of Whitebeard's flag?"

"That's not what I meant! Are you looking down on me?"

"Stop arguing. Didn't the Intelligence Department say that King Neptune of Fishman Island harbors deep prejudice and hostility towards the humans on the surface of the sea?"

"It's not that he's hostile to us. In fact, it should be said that most people on the sea are very hostile to fish-men and mermen, and they are very hostile to Fish-Man Island. Mutual hostility is cultivated in this way."

"If we don't resolve the chaotic situation in the Sabaody Archipelago and the issues concerning the fish-men and mermaid slaves on Marijoa, it will be difficult to establish friendly relations with Fish-Man Island!"

"The Sabaody Archipelago is relatively simple. We just need to wipe out the bad guys there and crack down on the slave trade. But we can't control what happens in Marijoa."

Just as these navy officers were discussing this intensely.

General Zhan Guo leaned slightly closer to Diarmait and asked, "What they said is true. How do we resolve the issues in Marijoa and the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Diarmait exhaled a puff of smoke and then said softly, "The matter on the Sabaody Archipelago is quite easy to resolve..."

"What do you mean?" asked the Warring States general.

In fact, most of the cases of residents of Fishman Island being sold as slaves occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago. After all, they generally didn't go anywhere else.

Therefore, as long as the problems in the Sabaody Archipelago are resolved, the safety of the residents of Fishman Island will be greatly guaranteed.

"Crack down on slave traders. This is permitted by law. As long as we act quickly enough, the World Government will not be able to say anything." Diarmait said first.

The Warring States general nodded, then shook his head and said, "Many slave traders have the support of great nobles and even Celestial Dragon families. If we don't completely eliminate these guys, they will soon reappear. This will only have a temporary effect..."

"Then let's find another way to destroy them," Diarmait said.

"What method?" asked the Warring States general.

"Our navy will secretly support a slave trader and train him to become the biggest slave trader in the Sabaody Archipelago. This way, we can control this dark market and make it much easier for us to do whatever we want. We can then plan to only sell pirates, criminals, villains, and other bastards as slaves to Mary Geoise, and resolutely crack down on innocent people. Although the methods are a bit despicable, it is also a good thing."

Diarmait said softly.

The Warring States general was stunned for a moment.

You, the guy, have taken hundreds of thousands of pirate prisoners in the Calm Belt and are treating them like slaves. I'm afraid you're addicted to it, right?

Now the navy is secretly supporting a slave trader?

Damn it!

But although it sounds a bit scary, if you think about it carefully, it seems really good, right?

It can be left to the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"What about Mary Joa?" asked the Warring States general again.

"There is no solution to Mary Geoise. Our navy has no control over what happens there. So, Admiral, do you have the ability to ask those Celestial Dragons to release the fish-man and mermaid slaves in their homes and hand them over to our navy?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

"If I had that ability, I wouldn't be sitting here. I would be meeting with you in the office of the Five Elders." General Zhan Guo rolled his eyes.

“Hahahaha…” Diarmait laughed, then said with a hint of emotion: “We can’t control Mary Geoise’s affairs.”

"This is very difficult. If we can't resolve the issue of Mary Geoise, how can we improve relations with Fishman Island?" General Sengoku said a little helplessly.

"I remember the Marshal asked me this question several years ago. I thought about it for a long time and only recently came up with some ideas," said Diarmuid.

The Warring States general's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me about it!"

"You can change the concept." Diarmait said with a grin.

"What do you mean?" the Warring States general asked again.

"When it comes to the issue of Mary Geoise, we can choose to stand with Fishman Island and communicate with each other as fellow 'victims'. In this way, we will have the same stance, and things will be much better, right?" Diarmait said.

Warring States general? ? ?

He was a bit confused at first, but after thinking it over, Admiral Sengoku nodded and said, "I think I understand what you mean. You mean that our navy should express its stance against the slave trade and other practices, and then propose this in Marijoa first. But Marijoa will definitely reject it. Then, we will become 'losers, victims,' but we will also express our stance, thereby reaching a consensus with Fishman Island? As fellow 'victims,' we can communicate and improve relations, right?"

"That's about it. Let the marshal go to Marijoa and specifically raise this matter. Once Marijoa denies it, we will immediately set off for Fishman Island and communicate with them about this. There's still a certain chance of success. We need to let them know that our navy stands with them!" Diarmuid said.

"That makes sense. We can give it a try. After all, we don't have any other good ideas." The Warring States general said softly.

After a brief pause, he looked at Diarmait and said, "I'll go with the Marshal to Marijoa. As for Fishman Island, I'll trouble you to go there yourself. As an admiral of the navy, it would show more sincerity if you go there in person."

Diarmait nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go there after you go to Marijoa."

The two generals quickly reached a consensus. General Warring States went to explain the situation to Marshal Steel, while Diarmuid once again focused everyone's attention on himself and explained the plans.

Afterwards, the navy discussed it a lot and generally agreed on this method.

After Diarmuid finished his speech, Chief of Staff Ahe said, "Now, I have something that I need to discuss with you all."

Lieutenant General Ahe's status as chief of staff has been restored, and he seems to be in a good mood recently.

As soon as she spoke, the conference room fell silent again.

Diarmait drank his tea while waiting for the Chief of Staff to discuss the issue.

"About the North Sea. Frevans." Chief of Staff Ahe said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Diarmait's eyes lit up with surprise. Could it be that Frevans was finished? So soon?

"In recent times, the price of platinum and lead in Frevans has continued to rise, and the Don Quixote family has been constantly wandering around the North Sea. Our intelligence department has also been keeping an eye on the Don Quixote family and found that they are buying large quantities of platinum and lead..." said Chief of Staff Ahe.

Borsalino touched his chin and asked, "Is there any problem with this?"

They are just buying platinum and lead, and our navy has to interfere?

Chief of Staff Ah He said in a deep voice: "Yes, Frevans is likely to be destroyed. We have heard news about platinum-lead disease..."

"Platinum-lead disease?" The Warring States general murmured in slight surprise, then asked, "Is there something wrong with platinum-lead? Can it make people sick?"

If he remembered correctly, Diarmait had given him a set of platinum-lead cutlery a few years ago. He had always treated it as a treasure and always brought it with him when he ate.

Oh my god, could that thing be poisonous?

Are you, Diarmait, planning to murder me secretly?

Do you want to be a marshal in advance?

Chapter 222 I, Diarmait, am a moral role model of the navy!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Diarmait gave a set to the Marshal, Xiaohe, Zephyr and even Garp!
