From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"So how could someone like me rely on the trust bestowed upon me by others?" Queen Stusi glanced at Diarmait and chuckled, "Even you couldn't." Indeed, how could Her Majesty, Her Majesty, place all this trust in someone else? Even though she and Diarmait seemed incredibly close, full of affection, had she ever allowed Diarmait to interfere in the affairs of Pleasure Street?

Never had.

Perhaps the Queen relies on and trusts Diarmait, but she will never pin everything on Diarmait.

The same is true for the World Government, but she comes from the CP agency, so it is difficult for her to change. Fortunately, she happens to be in control of Happy Street.

Diarmuid had no doubt that although Pleasure Street was known as a peripheral organization of the CP agency in the World Government, in fact, the entire Pleasure Street was probably an iron bucket run by the Queen.

If she really loses power in the CP agency, perhaps the Queen will completely betray the World Government and truly become a big boss of the dark world!

Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen will never give up Happy Street, her base. The leader of CP-0 is just a stepping stone for her to gain power, and Happy Street, this powerful force, is her foundation.

"How heartless! Aren't you afraid of hurting our relationship by saying that?" Diarmuid rolled his eyes at Stussy.

Stussy smiled and said, "The relationship between us won't be damaged by something like this, Diarmait, I'm very smart. Between us... only betrayal can truly destroy us, so I never hide anything from you. Even thoughts like this, I will tell you honestly."

"You really have a great talent for controlling people's hearts." Diarmait said with emotion.

That’s right, although Stussy said it so bluntly, Diarmait didn’t feel any disgust or alienation towards her. Instead, he was happy because of her honesty.

But it was obvious that this was carefully arranged by Her Majesty the Queen.

But it doesn't matter. Diarmait doesn't care about these things. He and Stusi are fundamentally different. Although they are allies, in fact, Diarmait has always been the one who holds the initiative.

Perhaps, because he came from the Navy and Stussy came from the CP, all this was destined from the beginning.

Sure enough, now that I think about it, it is better to take the navy as the basic foundation, which is more secure. After all, the navy's military strength is not empty.

As long as he can master this power, Diarmait doesn't need to rely on anyone else, he can rely on himself!

"Don't you like it?" Stussy asked again with a smile, her eyes sparkling with stars. Diarmait looked into her beautiful eyes and finally nodded, "I like it."

(The King’s Good) “Isn’t that it? Hehehe…” The Queen said with a smile.

In fact, she also had some "weak" thoughts in her heart. For example, when she hadn't seen Diarmait for a long time, sometimes at night, she would think that maybe she didn't need to control Pleasure Street or the power of CP-0.

If she just kept it simple and held onto Diarmait's heart, perhaps she would have everything. …

However, this weak thought will not last long. Because she is smart and understands Diarmait's thoughts, she knows that if she wants to capture Diarmait's heart, she must be a woman who is useful to him. The more help she can give to him, the more important her position will be in his heart.

If I really gave up everything and only used beauty...

Perhaps not only would she not win Diarmait's heart, but she would also gradually lose his favor.

Regardless of the Queen's complicated thoughts, Diarmait quickly arrived at the top floor of the World Government Headquarters. This was also his first time here.

After coming out, I looked around curiously and found that there was only one door on the top floor.

"That's the office of the five adults. Let's go." Stussy took Diarmuid's arm and walked over there.

Diarmait also smiled, walked to the door very calmly, and knocked on it.

"come in."

After hearing the response from inside, Stussy finally released his arm from Diarmait, and Diarmait calmly pushed the door open and walked in.

Chapter 244 I, Diarmait, am so honest!

Since the Five Elders thought he had "surrendered", Diarmait naturally would not do anything strange.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the five Five Elders sitting in different positions, looking at him.

Diarmait immediately gave a very standard military salute, stood at attention and said: "Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Rodriguez. Diarmait, greetings to the five lords!" Just as Diarmait expected, the Five Elders came to win over the navy this time, and naturally would not embarrass Diarmait.

Therefore, after Diarmait made his statement, the Five Elders all smiled.

"You're welcome. We have always liked and admired capable people. Diarmait, you are such a person. Please take a seat." The bearded Five Elders smiled and waved at Diarmait.

The blond boss glanced at Stussy and winked at her. Stussy nodded in understanding and did not stay here.

Her mission was to bring Diarmait here, nothing else.

So Stussy turned around and left, closing the door behind her. However, after the door was closed, a look of disdain flashed in the Queen's eyes.

"It's just as you said, Diarmait...CP is ultimately no match for your navy. You are soldiers, tigers, while we are just watchdogs." Stussy murmured softly.

According to the administrative hierarchy, his status and Diarmait's status within the World Government are similar, but the Five Elders can be kind to Diarmait, but sometimes they are unwilling to say a word to him.

The gap is already obvious.

"But it's okay this way." Stussy chuckled and left.

In the room, Diarmait was neither reserved nor polite. When the Five Elders asked him to sit down, he sat on the sofa without hesitation.

The Five Elders didn't show any change in expression and continued to smile.

"Diarmait, you have become a general... have..." said the bearded Five Elders.

"It's been seven years. This year is the seventh year." Diarmait said in a deep voice.

He served as the admiral of the Navy Headquarters in 1503 of the Haiyuan calendar. Now it is 1510 of the Haiyuan calendar. Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The bearded Five Elders seemed to be feeling somewhat emotional as well. He smiled and said, "Yes, seven years have passed really quickly. We haven't summoned you in these seven years. You don't have any complaints, do you?"

Diarmait shook his head and said, "It's impossible to say that I didn't. However, General Zhan Guo later reprimanded me, saying that as long as I did my job well, the five lords would eventually realize that I was suitable for the position of general. When the time came, they would meet me and recognize me. Now it seems that I have waited for this day, so naturally I have no complaints. I am honored to have spent seven years to let the five lords know me."

Diarmait's words were very respectful to the Five Elders, and at the same time seemed very sincere, and he also gave a hand to the Warring States general.

The Five Elders were also very happy to hear this.

Look, although our relationship with the Navy has been a little tense in recent years, after all, we are a family that has worked together for hundreds of years. Any conflicts are internal conflicts, which is normal. With such a large scale, how can there be no internal conflicts? But conflicts are conflicts, and both sides are still one.

Seeing Diarmait being so understanding, the Five Elders felt even happier.

"Actually, we were wrong in this matter. You know, you became admiral because your navy had contradictions and conflicts with our World Government over the plan of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We were really uncomfortable that you took the opportunity to take the position, but now think about it, it seems that we were petty and had no tolerance for others, causing you to suffer injustice. The matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea did damage the interests of your navy, but in the final analysis, your navy is our own people, isn't it?" The bearded man said with a smile.

These words made Diarmuid look at the Five Elders with a higher regard. They were able to frankly admit that they were "wrong". Whether it was to appease him or some hypocritical words, his attitude had been lowered.

This just goes to show that the Five Elders are people who can take on responsibilities and let go.

They are not as stupid as imagined.

"Your Excellencies are too kind. As you have said, our navy and the world government are a dual entity. There may be conflicts and disagreements, but we are all defenders of order and cannot do without each other!" Diarmait reiterated.

"Very good, defender of order." The blond boss said with a gleam in his eyes.

This is much more effective than Diarmait saying what is just or unjust, and the World Government doesn't care about the issue of justice or not.

Then, the two sides continued to exchange pleasantries for a while.

The meeting became smoother and less awkward than it was at the beginning.

In fact, there was no serious business for the Five Elders to call Diarmait this time. They just wanted to make contact with him, show goodwill and win him over. That was enough.

Diarmait also came with the intention of having a tryst with Queen Stusi, and had no intention of discussing any serious matters with the Five Elders.

What's more, he felt that he and the Five Elders could not discuss any serious matters.

However, the Five Elders quickly asked some questions.

"Come to think of it, not long after you joined the navy, probably in the 1490s, we heard that you were very smart and wise. Later, you also made great contributions to the Roger Pirates. But later, we gradually drifted apart..." said the blond boss.

Diarmait nodded, but did not speak.

That's true. I heard that you guys had a very good impression of me before, but we ended up falling out.

"You have always been brave and resourceful. We also have a few questions and would like to consult you to see if you have any insights." said the bearded Five Elders.

"May I ask, my lords?" Diarmait said seriously.

"Well, there are two problems in the world today. The first is pirates. But you, the navy, are experts in this matter. I think you have done a good job in recent years, so there is no need to ask too much. The second is the revolutionary army. You are also clear about Mary Geoise's affairs, right?" said the bearded Five Elders.

"Yes, I have learned the details." Diarmuid still spoke in a military manner.

Of course I know. You wouldn't believe it, would you? I planned this whole thing!

"We don't have any questions about the pursuit of the revolutionary army, nor about the arson case in Mary Geoise. Diarmuid, we want to ask you, if it were you, is there any way to completely solve the problem of the revolutionary army?" asked the bearded Five Elders.

“Yes,” Diarmait answered without hesitation.

His affirmative tone also surprised the Five Elders.

Because they are really just asking casually, with the mentality of giving it a try.

And you actually said yes!?

"Diarmait, the problem of the revolutionary army is not a simple one. You have to think about it carefully. In the past few years, we have been increasing our efforts to clean up the revolutionary army, but they have become stronger... Do you really have a solution?" The blond boss asked seriously.

"Yes!" Diarmuid said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it." The Bald King said with a very serious expression.

"I am a good friend of Drago, the leader of the revolutionary army." Diarmuid said this first, and a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders.

This may be true, but at this stage, no one in the World Government is willing to have any friendship with Dragon, let alone dare to mention this in front of the Five Elders.

But before they could ask, Diarmuid continued, "So I'm more familiar with Dorag's ideas and concepts. Furthermore, I've observed the Revolutionary Army over the years, and I do have some insights."

...begging for flowers. At this point, the Five Elders were too lazy to dwell on Diarmait's bluntness and instead asked, "What are your thoughts?"

"The revolutionary army's living ground is actually given to them by us!" Diarmuid said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" asked the bearded man.

"I believe that if the World Government wants to completely disintegrate, collapse and eliminate the Revolutionary Army, it must focus on two things." Diarmait said seriously.

"Which two things?" the blond guy asked expectantly.

Could there be an unexpected gain today?

"First, we must severely address the corruption problem within the World Government, clean up the atmosphere within the World Government, and appoint people who are capable of getting things done rather than engaging in corruption as officials. Second, we must resolve the fundamental conflict between the interests of the nobility and the interests of the general public, ease this class contradiction, and provide the people with a more stable internal living environment." Diarmait said without hesitation.

After a brief pause, Diarmuid added, "As far as I know, the Revolutionary Army's development path is clearly based on the masses, not the aristocracy. Therefore, the Revolutionary Army has been mobilizing the power of the people to fight against our World Government. So why are they able to mobilize the people? Because many people cannot survive under the jurisdiction of our World Government! As long as this problem is solved, the Revolutionary Army's survival base will be destroyed. Without this base, they will no longer be a difficult opponent!"

…. …0. The Five Elders all looked at Diarmait with strange eyes.

Does what Diarmait say make sense?

Yes, that makes perfect sense. That's right, as long as the problems of the general public are solved, the revolutionary army won't be able to manipulate public opinion and won't be able to cause any big trouble.

After all, everyone has enough food and drink and lives a happy life. Who the hell would have nothing to do and would hang his head on his belt and join you in rebellion and revolution?

If you can go, isn't it because if you don't rebel, you can't survive?

There are only a few members of the revolutionary army who truly have ideals and ambitions. Most of them cannot survive if they do not follow the revolutionary army!
