From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Hahahaha, doesn't this smell really good?" Dorag laughed nonchalantly.

Indeed, before this incident happened, he always felt that it was outrageous and wondered if Diarmait was playing a trick on him.

But when the job was finally done, Dorag felt it was really great.

After this incident, he will not only gain a huge amount of wealth to replenish the funds of the revolutionary army, but also liberate the slaves and recruit many new members. It is also not about the revolutionary army being so powerful that it broke through Mary Geoise and gave the world government a slap in the face.

 … 0

In addition, Dragon discovered that the cohesion and centripetal force of their revolutionary army had become stronger!

A major event that will go down in history has soared the morale of the revolutionary army to the sky!

All these combined, aren't they enough for Dorag to say "It smells so good"?

"I understand. I'll call you when I get the chance." Diarmuid replied casually.

Dorag did not care about Diarmait's perfunctory attitude. After all, this kind of thing would probably only happen once in a hundred years, and there might not be another chance in the future.

After that, nothing more was said. The two of them hung up the Den Den Mushi. After the ladder was lowered, Diarmait walked steadily from the warship into the port.

A naval captain had been waiting here for a long time. He saluted and said, "General Diarmait, the Marshal invites you to meet him."

"Haha, Brannu, you became the colonel of this headquarters so quickly?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

Indeed, the naval captain who had come to inform Diarmait was Belle-Merre's former superior in the East China Sea. Brannu, originally the commander of a branch base, had been brought to headquarters by Diarmait and was now a colonel.

"Thank you very much for your cultivation, General." Brannu said with a smile.

"Yes." Diarmuid replied, and as he walked, he asked, "Vice-Admiral Garp, have Gion and the others returned?"

"Vice Admiral Gion hasn't returned yet, but Vice Admiral Garp arrived this morning. Most of the other generals have returned. As for Vice Admiral Gion, according to previous contacts, he should be here in the afternoon." Brannu responded quickly.

"I understand." Diarmait nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, Diarmuid arrived at the door of Marshal Cyborg's office and knocked. After hearing the answer from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

At a glance, Sakaski, Sengoku, Ahe, Garp and others were all there.

And Marshal Cyborg seemed to be saying something.

After seeing Diarmait, Marshal Cyborg waved and said, "You're back."

"Well, everyone is here. Is there anything important?" Diarmait asked.

"Of course it's important. It concerns my future now. Whether I can become the commander-in-chief depends on whether you guys are capable enough." Marshal Steel Bone said with a smile.

It can be seen that he is in a pretty good mood.

Diarmuid rolled his eyes and said, “I heard from Zefa-sensei that the previous commander-in-chief of the entire army had his head chopped off by the Five Elders themselves. How terrifying…”

"Hahahahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.

Chapter 240: Tiger can only live as long as the Navy lets him! (Five more chapters, plus extra chapters with flowers!)

The Navy had never had a good impression of Mary Geoise. As for Pask, that guy had been in the position of Commander-in-Chief for so many years and had never had any friendly exchanges with the Navy.

The two sides have always been at odds with each other. In fact, the reason why the relationship between the World Government and the Navy is like this is, on the one hand, because Diarmait is pushing it, and on the other hand, because Mary Geoise has such a commander-in-chief.

Now that this guy’s head has been chopped off by the Five Elders, the navy’s top brass are of course laughing heartily.

But after laughing, Admiral Cyborg straightened his face and said, "This isn't about personal futures. That idiot Pask deserves death, but the position of the next Commander-in-Chief must not fall into the hands of the CP. This is extremely important for our navy, so you must pay attention to the issue of Fisher Tiger."

That's true. From a personal point of view, Marshal Cyborg wants to get promoted and make money. Diarmait and other naval generals who started their careers with him will naturally not stand in his way. On the contrary, if Marshal Cyborg gets promoted, General Warring States will definitely have room for promotion. If he works for a few more years, Diarmait may be able to take over the position of marshal.

So from a personal perspective, this matter must be supported.

From the perspective of the navy's interests, the navy would have a commander-in-chief. ...Does the benefit need to be explained?

Regardless of whether it is public or private, this is something the navy must pay attention to.

"Is there any new information?" Diarmait asked.

Chief of Staff Ahe then said, "Yes, Fisher. Tiger is now wandering around the New World. He took away some of the slaves liberated from Mary Geoise. Most of them are fishmen and mermaids. He recently raised the banner of pirates and called himself the Sun Pirates. However, their whereabouts are uncertain, but we have found out that he seems to be sending the rescued slaves back home..."

As soon as Chief of Staff Ahe finished speaking, everyone in the office fell silent.

After a long moment, Garp spoke first, "It's fine if we don't respect or protect a person like this, but now we're going to kill him and capture him..."

Unexpectedly, Sakaski also said: "Although he raised the pirate flag, he really didn't do anything bad." This surprised Diarmuid a little. When did you, Sakaski, consider these things?

"Yes." The Warring States general said helplessly.

Deep down, these big guys in the navy all have some respect and admiration for Tiger.

After all, what he did sounded evil, like burning Mary Geoise, but in fact, it could be defined as a "just" action.

Now the navy is asked to kill him, and everyone feels conflicted.

Even Marshal Cyborg, who had the deepest vested interests in the matter, looked a little regretful.

"But if we don't take action, the CP will catch him sooner or later. If we take action, we may be able to give him a quick death, but if he is caught by the CP, he will be in a dilemma." Chief of Staff Ahe said softly.

However, no one spoke. Perhaps Chief Advisor Ahe's reason was right, but everyone knew that it was just a pretext and a way out for them to cover up the "darkness" in a high-sounding way and make this action seem more just.

To put it simply, it is forcing it to be "for Tiger's good", making it seem as if the Navy is killing him now for his own good.

At this moment, General Zhan Guo waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop making excuses. Tiger is a good man, a great man, worthy of admiration. However, for the benefit of our navy, he must pay the price. Reality is cruel. There's no need to act righteous and great, and there's no need to make excuses. Embrace this guilt and selfishness, savor this torture, and then... give him a quick death."

Diarmait also thought so. Why bother to find some bright, great and just reason for himself? If it is to be publicized to the outside world, it needs to be publicized. We are all sitting together, so who doesn’t understand each other?

Seeing that the Warring States general said this, the others no longer worried about anything.

But at this moment, Diarmait said: "Speaking of which, I also need to tell you something."

"It seems to be related to this Tiger?" asked the Warring States general.

"Well, you all know about Jinbei, right?" Diarmait asked.

"Of course we know." The Warring States general and others nodded.

"Although that guy is still a naval captain, his identity is very special. He is the hub connecting Fishman Island and our navy. I planned to train him well in the future, but unfortunately, he has been taken care of by someone since he was a child. He regards that person as his own elder brother and respects him very much..." Diarmait said softly.

Marshal Cyborg's expression changed slightly as he said, "You're not trying to tell me that that big brother is Tiger, are you?"

"Marshal, you are so smart." Diarmait complained.

"This is a difficult situation..." the Warring States general murmured.

Just as Diarmait said, Jinbei's identity is somewhat special. If he were a simple, small naval captain, there would be no need to consider his feelings at all.

Unfortunately, the Navy had just established relations with Fishman Island, and they had to rely on him to communicate and maintain the relationship, but this kind of thing happened.

"So I'm going to change my plan. I plan to let Jinbe join the Seven Warlords of the Sea..." Diarmait said suddenly.

Of course, he had actually planned this a long time ago.

Everyone is very confused. Your thoughts are jumping around a lot. Are we talking about the same thing?

"I am Jinbe's superior, and he is my direct subordinate. You may not know him, but I know him very well. I can tell you clearly that the guy is a very loyal man who will repay a favor. On the way here from the port, I have already inquired about it. He has not left the navy yet. I guess he is waiting for me. When I return to the office later, he will definitely come to resign. After that, this guy will definitely join the Sun Pirates and follow that Tiger." Diarmait said with certainty.

"So what?" asked the Warring States general.

"A forced melon is not sweet. Let's take care of this matter. Anyway, I have always been responsible for the affairs of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I just told you in advance to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Also, about Fisher. Tiger, how long can we let him live?" Diarmait said this while looking at Marshal Cyborg.

It was obvious that Chief of Staff Ahe had already caught some clues. Tiger had no experience as a pirate, and his subordinates were a group of fishmen who were unfamiliar with the situation on the sea. He also had some slaves who needed to be returned.

In his current state, he was simply courting death by wanting to go against the navy. In the original story, for some unknown reason, he persisted for more than two years before being killed by the navy.

But now, Diarmait estimated that if the navy took it seriously, they would be able to find him and kill him within half a year.

That's why he asked this question. Now it's not a question of how long Tiger can hang out outside, but how long the Navy can tolerate him hanging out.

In other words, how long will Marshal Cyborg need to prepare and transfer the power of the marshal to General Warring States in a safe and stable manner, and then he can calmly kill Tiger and be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

Marshal Steel was silent for a moment, then said, "Originally, I was planning to arrest him as soon as possible, or give him a quick death, but now that you've said that..."

He paused briefly, then looked at Zhan Guo and said, "Actually, Zhan Guo is already familiar with everything about the Marshal's affairs. About half a year will be enough for our navy to smoothly transition power. So, we can't give Tiger too much time. Diarmait, a year and a half, at most I'll give him."

"But Diarmait, our navy can give him a year and a half and pretend not to arrest him, but the CP may not do the same..." General Zhan Guo said again.

"I'll take care of the CP side. If nothing unexpected happens, Stussy will be promoted this time. I asked her to pay more attention to this matter. With her intelligence support, and with Jinbe as the hub, I can pass the message to Tiger. It shouldn't be a problem to avoid CP for a year or two..." Diarmait openly revealed his relationship with Stussy.

General Warring States looked at Diarmuid strangely, and Marshal Steel Bone seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Diarmait waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. I know, I know. That woman is not a good person in your eyes. Don't worry, I won't make a mistake on principle."

"Forget it, you are the general, you know what's going on." Teacher Zefa also smiled.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Diarmait, whether it's Jinbe or Tiger... In a year and a half, I hope you can do a good job." Marshal Cyborg said.

“Thank you very much, Marshal. Leave it to me.” Diarmait replied.

For Diarmait's plan, the Admiral was willing to delay his promotion and wealth by a year... It turns out that Admiral Cyborg still cares about the Navy!

"By the way, the Five Elders mean that when you come back, if you have time, go to Mary Geoise. They want to meet you formally." Marshal Cyborg suddenly said again.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

"It seems that the Five Elders want to ease the relationship with us?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

"That should be the case." The Warring States General nodded, then asked again, "Are you going?"

"Why shouldn't I go? But not now. Mary Geoise is currently being rebuilt, and I guess they don't have time to see me. Let's arrange it based on the situation." Diarmait said casually.

"After you get there, you..." Marshal Steel Bone was about to give him some instructions, but then he smiled and said, "I don't think there's anything else to say to you. You're quite the cunning fellow. You'll handle it yourself."

"Understood, Marshal." Diarmait said with a smile.

Now, the Marshal will soon become the Chief Commander. This matter is basically a foregone conclusion. In fact, even if Fisher and Tiger are not taken down, after a delay, the World Government will still have to let Cyborg become the Chief Commander, because they can't give the position of Chief Commander to the Chief of Secret Service in a short time. They have already suffered this hardship.

Therefore, with Marshal Cyborg going to Mary Geoise, the Navy will indeed have to feign favor with the World Government for a while. It cannot go too far, otherwise the Marshal will be caught in the middle, which will make it even more difficult for him to do his job and gain any benefits for the Navy.

During this period, we need to do something that will reassure the world government and ease the tension between the two sides.

This is also the reason why Diarmait did not refuse to meet the Five Elders.

Of course, Diarmait didn’t think that the Five Elders would humiliate him for this. If they did, then the Five Elders would be really sick and unworthy of that position. At this stage, the World Government also urgently needs to maintain a certain friendly relationship with the Navy. At this time, why did they humiliate Diarmait, the Navy Admiral, for no reason?
