From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Although the timing is a bit inconsistent, Diarmait feels that this might be the war to decide the four emperors in the New World?

So I can still understand Kaido and Charlotte. Linlin sticks together for warmth.

But why are they so anxious to capture Shanks?

Is he a big threat? Is he doing something recently that I'm not aware of?

Take a break, guys.

First of all, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival and good health.

Then I'm taking a day off because I have to attend a wedding today. Yes, it's a Dragon Boat Festival wedding... Please forgive me, everyone!

Chapter 246 Let’s fuck Shanks!

After thinking for a moment, Diarmuid asked directly, "Is the threat level of the Straw Hat Pirates high?"

Chief of Staff Ahe responded, "Actually, he hasn't done anything too bad, but if we're talking about threat, he's probably quite high."

Shanks's character is indeed not that bad. He would not provoke the navy or rob civilians at every turn.

Of course, since he flew the pirate flag and did not engage in production, and finally managed to become one of the Four Emperors, it is definitely impossible to say that he is a good person.

Even Roger has a dark history of destroying a country in a fit of rage.

But as far as Diarmait knew, Shanks had not caused any major disturbances at sea, at least so far, so before this, the navy did not pay much attention to this guy.

Why do you want to get him suddenly?

"What's going on?" Diarmait asked again.

"We found out that Shanks was once a member of Roger's pirate group." Chief of Staff Ahe said softly.

Diarmait nodded but said nothing.

"Of course, we knew about this a long time ago. It's not a big deal. You know, over the years, we no longer care about or arrest people who were once members of Roger's pirate group." Chief of Staff Ahe said again.

This is also true. As early as the first few years after Roger got into trouble, the navy was still searching for members of Roger's pirate group, but there was no progress later. In addition, in the following years, these guys really went into seclusion and did not cause any trouble.

It is impossible for the Navy to put too much energy on these people who are no longer a "threat". Therefore, although the search for Roger's pirate group is still being carried out on the surface, it has actually been marginalized within the headquarters and is no longer of particular concern.

In fact, the headquarters had already known that Shanks was a member of Roger's pirate group, but before that, Shanks didn't make any moves, so the headquarters didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Well, what about now?" Diarmait asked again.

"It's different now, Straw Hat. Shanks has returned to the New World with great force, and defeated Big Mom. Charlotte. Linlin in the first battle in the New World, showing the powerful strength of their pirate group. This is already a threat. At the same time, his return to the New World represents one thing, that is, he is different from the other members of Roger's pirate group. He has no intention of withdrawing from this sea. Therefore, the label of a member of Roger's pirate group on him cannot be ignored by us. Finally, Mr. Garp suddenly remembered that Shanks' straw hat belonged to Roger many years ago... It seems that the hat is very important to Roger, but he gave it to Shanks. We have reason to suspect that Shanks may have inherited Roger's will, which is a greater threat..." Chief of Staff Ahe said in a deep voice.

Diarmait also came to his senses at this time.

In his impression, or perhaps he was a little subjective and self-righteous, he thought that the Navy had not done anything big to Shanks, so Shanks became one of the Four Emperors of the New World almost five years later in the original story.

Now, think about it, the Navy should have had some targeted plan against Shanks from the beginning, but it just failed. After all, the characteristics of Shanks' pirate group are there. As long as you can't kill him with one stick and he escapes, it will be difficult to find him if you want to deal with him again.

Later, he experienced ups and downs in the New World, and finally became one of the four winners in the battle for the throne of New World pirates, and ascended to the position of the Four Emperors.

That's about it.

But now, the situation is different. First of all, the New World has no foundation for a struggle for supremacy. Charlotte. Linlin has no chance of defeating the Whitebeard Pirates. Kaido has been gathering strength for more than two years, almost three. From the time he was captured by the navy to his "escape," Wano Country and the Beasts Pirates were leaderless. Not to mention development, they might even have split apart. As a result, his power has plummeted. Now he is basically a small fry. Apart from himself, who is considered a capable fighter, and a few of his subordinates, Big Mom Pirates can't even defeat him, so how can they possibly fight for supremacy?

In recent years, the Navy has been vigorously cracking down on pirates in the New World. Sakaski is in charge of these matters and has done a lot.

This has led to even greater chaos in the New World. Shanks has only been in there for a short time. Therefore, judging from the current situation, there is no basis for a new round of war for hegemony in the New World, because apart from the Whitebeard Pirates, who are the real king, the other three are not prepared.

So it has changed history to a great extent.

The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have not yet reached the point where the Navy is eager to get rid of them. The Navy's main target of defense is still Whitebeard.

But facing the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy cannot start a war easily, because Whitebeard is too strong and difficult to deal with.

At this moment, a person who can defeat Charlotte Linlin broke into the New World. This person happened to be a member of Roger's pirate group and seemed to have inherited Roger's will.

At the same time, the route he took was similar to that of Roger's pirate group in the past. It was an elite route for a small number of people. They had no fixed territory and only had one ship for the time being. However, the strength of the people on the ship was very strong.

Well, based on the way this group of people is developing, the Navy now considers them to be very threatening. If this group of people is left alone now, they may become the new Roger Pirates in the future.

By then, they will be more familiar with the new world, and you will not be able to catch them.

Therefore, the Navy Headquarters immediately paid attention to Shanks' Straw Hat Pirates and unanimously agreed that this pirate group must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise they would likely become the second Roger... Is this threat not big enough?

Therefore, Diarmuid received an order from the Marshal to go to the New World and get rid of this Straw Hat Shanks.

After discussing with Chief of Staff Ahe for a long time, Diarmuid finally figured out the whole story.

He had no objection to the marshal's order.

Diarmuid didn't care about the Four Emperors or whether this situation would appear. After he came into this world, he joined the Marine Headquarters and aspired to become an admiral or even a marshal of the navy.

He knew very well that this world would inevitably be changed by him, so from the very beginning, he had no intention of relying on any plot, and he didn't feel that there was anything to restrict him, so he just did what he had to do.

If he had been a little hesitant before, he no longer had any concerns after he made up his mind to bring Ace and Luffy to the Marine Headquarters and Marineford came.

Damn, Luffy and Ace are both marines, so what's the plot or not?

He will meet the opportunities he can, and if he doesn't, and needs to make changes, he won't hesitate and will just do it.

If headquarters wants to catch Shanks themselves, then let’s catch him!

There's nothing to refuse.

"Okay, I understand. Are you ready for the information about the whereabouts of Red Hair... no, the Straw Hat Pirates?" Diarmait asked again.

He now understood that the so-called alliance between the Big Mom Pirates and Kaido's Beasts Pirates was not the point. If Diarmait went to the New World, their plan might be ruined.

So he doesn't need to worry about it.

If the two of them had truly formed an alliance without Huang, it would mean they were most likely targeting the Whitebeard Pirates, which would have nothing to do with the Navy for now. … Even if a brawl broke out between the three of them, the Navy would be happy to watch, so there's no need to meddle.

Diarmait's main purpose of going to the New World this time is to deal with Shanks!

"No, three days ago, they disappeared after fighting with Charlotte Lingling. It is difficult to trace their whereabouts now. I guess they are also afraid of being found and retaliated by Charlotte Lingling?" Chief of Staff Ahe said softly.

Diarmait felt a little regretful. It seemed that he would have to go to the New World to find it himself.

But before Diarmait could speak, Chief of Staff Ahe said, "But we have observed that one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Jurakor Mihawk, entered the New World two days ago. Compared to Straw Hat Shanks, his whereabouts are easier to find. Because he is alone, he cannot sail far. He must sail within a certain range of islands for easy supply. It shouldn't be a big problem for us to find him..."

Diarmait was a little confused. We are going to deal with Shanks, so why are we looking for information about Mihawk?

But he soon realized what was going on and laughed, "So that's how it is."

"That guy has an appointment with Shanks, right?" Diarmait laughed.

"We can't be sure, but it's been almost a year and a half, almost two years, since the last time they fought. This time Mihawk suddenly entered the New World. We suspect he was going to find Shanks. As for making an appointment to meet... In fact, we suspect Mihawk has Shanks' life card." Chief of Staff Ahe said in a deep voice.

 … 0

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is indeed very likely."

Think about Mihawk, he is alone and his intelligence level must be not very good, but he can always find the unruly Red Hair Pirates in the corners and then have a big fight with Shanks.

If you think about it carefully, there is a high possibility that they hold each other's life cards!

It is very difficult to find Shanks' ship in the chaotic new world now, especially a ship that is deliberately hiding its whereabouts to avoid being discovered by Big Mom.

So instead of that, why not try to keep an eye on this guy Mihawk...

What if I follow him and find Shanks?

"Okay then, I'll just follow Mihawk," Diarmait said.

This is also the most feasible approach at this stage.

"Well, I will send the relevant intelligence documents to Tina later. She is already on her way to Mary Geoise." said Chief of Staff Ahe.

"I understand. Then I won't go back to the headquarters and will go directly to the New World from Mary Geoise." Diarmait nodded.

After understanding and explaining some things, Diarmait hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He looked at Queen Stussy, who was eavesdropping happily, and said, "Eavesdropping on the admiral's conversation, especially on such an important and confidential matter, is a serious crime..."

"What do you mean by eavesdropping? I'm listening openly." Stussy raised his chin.

But after a brief pause, Queen Stussy's eyes flickered and she said charmingly, "But I am willing to accept the punishment."

Seeing this, Diarmuid did not hesitate. He put his arms around Stussy's long, white legs, held her horizontally in his arms, and walked towards the house.

As he walked, he said, "Then I won't let you off. If you have any information about Shanks's situation over at Happy Street, remember to let me know immediately. Also, aren't you on good terms with Charlotte Lingling? Why not test her words and see what she means by this alliance?"

Queen Stusi put her arms around Diarmait's neck and said with a smile, "That depends on your sincerity..."

Diarmait smiled, threw the Queen onto the mattress and said, "Of course I am sincere."

Right

Chapter 247: Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Shanks!

On an uninhabited island in the New World.

Red Hair... No, the Straw Hat Pirates are currently setting up camp on this island.

Speaking of which, Shanks did inherit many of Roger's habits, such as not having a fixed territory, not having many subordinates, and living wherever his little brothers go.

Of course, this is only the current situation. After Shanks ascended to the throne of the Four Emperors, there have been some changes.

Although his Redfors was still an elite ship, he also had some other subordinates under his command, and he did occupy some territory.

But that’s all in the past.

At this time, Shanks's ship had already gathered most of his future companions, such as Lucky Lu, Jesus Bu, Ben Beckman, etc., all following him. This was not a big change.

However, in the original story, he should still be wandering in the East China Sea, but now he has already entered the new world ahead of time.

Laki, Lu and the others were setting up tents and other things, but Shanks was sitting on a rock, holding a life card in his hand, observing.

He adjusted the direction several times, but found that the life card would always move in one direction. In the past few days, he also changed the route several times at sea, and finally the direction of the life card also changed several times.

After a long moment, Shanks shook his head and said, "That guy is here again..."

He was familiar with this matter. The life card in his hand was indeed from Hawkeye, Joracle, and Mihawk.

Back in the East China Sea, the two hit it off at first sight and had a fierce fight in the sea, but in the end, no one was victorious.

In the following years, he and Mihawk seemed to have an unusual fate. Although neither of them took the initiative to look for the other, they always ran into each other in various sea areas.

Then, they started fighting as soon as they met. Mihawk was very annoyed with that bastard Shanks, but he had to admit that Shanks was very strong in kendo. Anyway, it was difficult for him to find a master like Shanks in the world who could verify kendo with him.

Therefore, even though he was very unhappy with Shanks, he still recognized Shanks' strength, and the two sides would communicate and exchange ideas every time they met.
