From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Then a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he pressed the burning cigar directly on the face of the small cadre of the Big Mom Pirates.

The temperature of the cigarette butt was extremely high. When pressed, it instantly burned the man's cheek, causing him to wail.

But Smoker pretended not to hear anything, then took out another cigar and pressed it again.

Soon, he treated the young cadre's face as an ashtray and extinguished all three cigarette butts on his face.

After doing all this, Smoker said in a deep voice: "In the New World, no one can touch my goods. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. No matter if it's Big Mom, Kaido, or Whitebeard, whoever dares to touch me, I will beat him!"

After finishing speaking, Smoker looked at his younger brother beside him and asked, "How much did Big Mom steal from us this time?"

"The two fleets are carrying precious metals, as well as some top-quality spices that have just been smuggled in from the East China Sea, and three ships are loaded with gold. ... The total value is 700 billion Baileys." The younger brother said quickly.

When war breaks out, everyone is short of money, even if they are very rich and have established a large country. The same is true for Big Mom in Totland.

So after seeing the Amway Group's fleet, it's unclear whether it was Charlotte or Linlin who got greedy for money, or if it was some high-ranking official in the Big Mom Pirates who got greedy for money.

Anyway, they wiped out both of Smoker's fleets...

"Very good! Go get intelligence from Happy Street, cooperate with the Whitebeard Pirates, sink fifty of Big Mom's ships, seize their outlying territories, and seize all the countries around us that fly the Big Mom Pirates' flag!" Smoker said without hesitation.

Chapter 271 I, Smoker, am also a great pirate who stirs up the New World!

When Smoker started to attack the Big Mom Pirates, Diarmait had just entered the New World.

When Diarmuid arrived at Stussy's base camp, Maria's Happy Island.

The entire New World was blown up, because Smoker was truly a man of action. In two months, he had taken over three New World nations flying the Big Mom Pirates' flag. At the same time, he had cooperated with the Whitebeard Pirates to win two large naval battles involving tens of thousands of people, sinking over 130 ships of Charlotte and Linlin.

Diarmait was also confused. What the hell was going on?

How come Smoker is in cahoots with the Whitebeard Pirates?

At this time, in Queen Stussy's house, Diarmait was sitting on the sofa in the living room. There was a hint of anger in his eyes as he glanced back and forth between Stussy and Smoker.

That's right, Smoker also came to Maria's Happy Island to see Diarmait.

"What are you doing? Do you think the New World is not chaotic enough? Do you really want to be a pirate?" Diarmait looked at Smoker and shouted angrily.

Smoker said in a low voice with a somewhat resentful expression: "Hey, it was you who asked me to shout slogans back then..."

"What slogans are you shouting?" Diarmait was stunned for a moment.

"I want to be the man who becomes the Pirate King!" Smoker said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Diarmait grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Smoker, cursing, "Are you crazy?"

"I was just joking." Smoker hugged the pillow and smiled awkwardly.

Diarmait ignored Smoker and instead looked at Stussy with a gloomy expression. "He's become stupid because of being a pirate. It's okay if he's mentally ill, but are you sick too? He asked you for information, and you gave it to him?"

"Aren't we a cooperative unit..." Stussy explained quietly, then quickly added, "Before he asked, he didn't say he wanted to attack the Big Mom Pirates. I thought he wanted to take away some shady stuff and wanted to avoid the Big Mom Pirates or something. ... By the time I realized it, they had already started fighting. I couldn't just watch Smoker get killed by Big Mom's people, right? Of course I chose to support him."

After all, she was his woman, so Diarmuid just scolded Stussy and didn't say anything else.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Smoker again. "As soon as I entered the New World, the Marshal contacted me like he was asking for my life, asking me what was going on. You are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a member of the Navy, and my direct subordinate. How can I explain to the Marshal that you have caused such a thing? Thanks to you, they were originally just fighting each other, but now, they might have a big decisive battle all at once! We in the Navy originally expected them to fight for at least four or five years, but because of you, all the plans have been messed up. Tell me, how am I going to end this!?"

"Big Mom touched our goods. Seven hundred billion Baileys, that's just the principal. It's the biggest deal I've made in the past six months. If I sold all the goods, I could make at least three hundred billion. In other words, that damn old woman swallowed up one trillion Baileys worth of my goods in one go. If I didn't react, the Amway Group's reputation would be in my hands, boss! You don't want to see this scene, do you?" Smoker explained.

Originally, Diarmait came to the New World to meet Dragon, take out the thing from Mary Geoise's lower body, and then give the Gold-Gold Fruit to Smoker. After that, he would continue to be a lazy person with Mary Geoise.

He even started planning whether to go out for a trip and take Tina and Gion with him.

As a result, within a few days of entering the New World, the New World suddenly became a mess, and the war continued to escalate. The Whitebeard Pirates and the alliance of Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates all started to fight each other, and there was also Smoker who was stirring up trouble, which almost made Diarmait vomit blood in anger.

Yes, according to the plan of the Navy Headquarters, it was originally prepared to sit back and watch the two parties fight each other to the death, at least to waste four to five years. By then, the Navy would probably be ready for an all-out war, and it might even be possible to break free from the clutches of the World Government.

Once the navy has dealt with everything, then we can fight however we want, right?

As a result, Smoker's intervention had a ripple effect and directly ignited the powder keg.

While Diarmuid was on the road, Marshal Cyborg had contacted him several times, asking him to come up with a solution to the problem as soon as possible.

Because according to the time calculation, the agreed time of one and a half years is coming soon, so the navy is now at a critical juncture of power transfer, waiting for Jinbe to arrange Tiger's "afterlife" and for Admiral Cyborg to go to Mary Joaquin as the commander-in-chief.

But now that New World has become like this, how can he still go? How can he not be anxious?

But after listening to Smoker's explanation, Diarmait's anger gradually dissipated. It was indeed true. Big Mom was the one who started the matter. If Smoker really didn't react, he was afraid that he would lose his footing in the New World immediately.

Because being a pirate is not much different from being a gangster. Whether you can stand firm depends on your prestige. Don't look at Smoker's current glory. If he is bullied by Big Mom and doesn't dare to say a word, his reputation will be ruined. How many of those bastard pirates under his command will be loyal to him?

If he shows any weakness, Amway Group is such a big piece of fat meat, and the New World is full of wars and everyone is short of money. Just wait and see, it will be torn apart in minutes.

This result was indeed unacceptable to both Diarmait and the Navy Headquarters.

Therefore, Smoker's reaction was actually correct, but he just went too far.

Or perhaps he didn't expect that the Whitebeard Pirates would seize the opportunity and drag him down completely.

Now everyone is saying that the Whitebeard Pirates have teamed up with White Hunter Smoker. With the support of the Amway Group, the Whitebeard Pirates' funds, which were already at a disadvantage, suddenly seem to have become more abundant?

Whitebeard was decisive enough. He knew that Smoker would never really stand on his side, after all, he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But he is under a lot of pressure now. The combination of Kaido, Charlotte, and Linlin is not just a matter of one plus one, but far more than two.

He couldn't use a clean and swift method to directly behead Charlotte. Linlin and Kaido, judging from the forces under their command, there was no apparent difference at the moment, as the two sides seemed to be fighting back and forth.

But Newgate knew in his heart that the Whitebeard Pirates could not compare to the combined wealth of the Big Mom Pirates and Kaido. Big Mom had the entire Totland under his wing and was supported by the Wano Country. Kaido also had a lot of business in the dark world, especially selling arms.

Now that the war in the New World is so intense, his arms business is booming. It can't be said that he has no shortage of money, but he is definitely more energy-efficient than the Whitebeard Pirates.

So if the war continues in this trend for four or five years, Newgate can already foresee that he will be the one who will be in trouble!

Therefore, when Smoker made his move, Newgate dragged this guy into the water without hesitation. It was not for the financial support of the Amway Group, but because he wanted to take advantage of Smoker's opportunity to force Big Mom and Kaido's pirate alliance to have a decisive battle!

This is his chance to turn the tables!

And Smoker was indeed tricked by the old guy Whitebeard.

Now the entire New World thinks that he is going to join forces with Whitebeard. Big Mom is also guilty, thinking that she has robbed Smoker of more than 700 billion Beli's goods. Smoker turned against her in anger and stood on Whitebeard's side, as if there was nothing wrong with it, so he is also preparing for a decisive battle.

Because she knew very well that the weakness of the Whitebeard Pirates was that they had no money. If Smoker made up for Whitebeard's shortcoming and continued to fight such a war of attrition, she would definitely suffer a loss. In the end, there might be a major defeat. So she had the same mentality as Newgate now, thinking of quickly striking the winner before Smoker really fully committed himself!

Diarmait calmed down his anger and pointed at Smoker, saying, "I'm telling you, Smoker, the Marshal is very angry about this. If you can't come up with a solution, I'm going to be in trouble. And if I'm in trouble, you, you bastard, will have no good life!"

Smoker smiled awkwardly, then said: "Boss, come to think of it, I do have some ideas and plans..." Diarmait???

Has this guy improved?

In fact, he said these things just to warn Smoker and let him remember it so that he would not make a bigger mistake next time. He did not really expect Smoker to come up with any plan.

On the contrary, Diarmait had been thinking for a long time on the way here, and had some vague ideas.

"Tell me about it." Diarmait picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Smoker finally sat up straighter and said, "Boss, according to our analysis, this war for supremacy between the old and new kings in the New World seems to be evenly matched. The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, who are appearing as challengers, will have to decide the winner against the veteran top pirate group, the Whitebeard Pirates. We believe that in the short term, they may not be able to decide the winner, but if the battle lasts for three to five years, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely lose power. By then, the entire New World will be dominated by Big Mom and Kaido. They are allies, unlike Whitebeard, who no longer has any ambitions. If those two guys seize the throne, they will definitely cause big trouble. Is this an outcome that our navy can accept?"

After Smoker finished speaking, he looked at Diarmait with a look of confidence. Diarmait asked in surprise, "Why can't you accept it?" Smoker?

Shouldn't this be the answer? Shouldn't it be that after I analyze it, you, the general, will be shocked, realize the seriousness of this matter, and then quickly ask me if I have any good ideas?

Are you so calm (like a king)?

Can the Navy really accept such an outcome?

"Did you get something wrong, you bastard? Our navy doesn't care who will win between those two bastard pirates! Our navy only cares about time. As long as they can fight for four or five years, we can finish our own business and deal with it. All the internal conflicts and problems can be solved. No matter who wins, they can't beat our navy. When the time comes, I will wipe them all out in one go. How can they have room to be arrogant? So we don't care about these things at all, okay!?" Diarmait scolded.

Smoker's expression changed, and he said awkwardly, "I thought our navy couldn't accept the fall of the Whitebeard Pirates, a pirate group that's relatively more stable and less inclined to cause trouble..."

In fact, Smoker's idea is also correct. At least compared to Big Mom and Kaido, two restless bastards, the Navy prefers the Whitebeard Pirates, a pirate group that will not cause trouble if you don't provoke them.

If the Navy really just needed time and was not afraid of them at all, what Smoker was thinking about would actually be very useful to the Navy.

However, he was only an assigned Shichibukai after all, and had no access to the true will of the navy's top brass. Diarmait had not told him these things, or rather, he had told him to just focus on his own Amway Group and the Shichibukai, and not to meddle in other people's affairs. But he still didn't expect that Smoker would get things to this point.

Therefore, Smoker did not understand the Navy's true strategic intentions, which caused the current situation to fall apart.

Chapter 272 Smoker: I want to be one of the Four Emperors!

But at this point, Diarmait no longer blamed Smoker.

I've already scolded him enough, what else can you do to this guy? Beat him to death?

Diarmait slowly lit a cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the somewhat embarrassed Smoker and said, "Okay, go on, what were your original ideas and plans?"

Smoker also calmed down a little, and then said: "At first, I just wanted to take revenge on Big Mom and didn't plan to really get involved. But that old man Whitebeard was too quick. He seized the intelligence and support I gave him and made two big moves at once. Then the whole world knew that I teamed up with him. Now the fishing boats outside are also saying that I have allied with the Whitebeard Pirates. This matter can no longer be cleared..."

"Of course you can't wash it off. You teamed up with Whitebeard to cause such a big commotion. You even fought two naval battles in a row involving tens of thousands of people, and won both. Even if you jump out now and say that you want to quit and have not teamed up with Whitebeard, no one will believe you." Diarmait glared at Smoker.

That's right, Whitebeard has now made this matter a foregone conclusion.

Even if Smoker jumps out now and says that he doesn't want to play anymore, will Charlotte, Linlin, or Kaido believe it? They might think that Smoker is plotting something again.

And since Smoker had played such a trick on them, Charlotte and Lingling would definitely take revenge on Smoker, so there was no reason for Smoker to stop playing.

From the moment he entered the game, there was no turning back.

"If it can't be washed clean, then don't wash it. In fact, up to now, our Amway Group's business has reached a bottleneck. The identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea can only support me to this point. If I want to continue to expand the business, I must go one step further and become a real top pirate who is on par with Charlotte, Linlin, Kaido and even Whitebeard!" Smoker said in a deep voice.

"Do you really want to be the Pirate King?" Diarmait said helplessly.

Smoker smiled awkwardly, but did not speak.

Diarmait was silent for a while and looked at Queen Stusi.

The Queen nodded and said, "That's about right. Even with our help, Smoker, as a visible figurehead, has definitely reached his peak..."

Diarmait tapped the ash off his cigarette, ignored it, and continued, "Go on."

"So I thought, since it has come to this, I might as well stand on Whitebeard's side and join forces with them to defeat Charlotte, Linlin and Kaido. Then maybe I can go a step further." Smoker said in a deep voice.

Diarmait's face twitched slightly, and then he said, "I'm really annoyed by your idea...Okay, let's assume that you and Whitebeard can defeat them both together, and then we'll tentatively assume that you're in that position. But what's the basis for you to hold on to that position? You don't think that after you and Newgate win this time, you can stand firm, right? Do you have the strength of Newgate, Kaido, or Charlotte Linlin?"

What Diarmait said naturally made sense. Although Smoker's strength is very good now, he can never reach the level of Kaido, Whitebeard and others.

After winning the battle, it would be impossible for him to continue to form an alliance with the Whitebeard Pirates. Even if he wanted to, Newgate might not agree with him.

By then, he would not be able to take advantage of Newgate's influence, and it would be impossible for him to hold on to this position based on his personal strength, which would be very embarrassing.

After a brief pause, Diarmait continued, "And how do you think you can win? What if you team up with Whitebeard and both of you lose? Then, there will be no place for you in the entire New World, and the Amway Group will be directly divided up. Do you know how much trouble and trouble this will bring to our navy?"

Smoker wasn't panicking at all, as if he had already prepared a plan. He said in a deep voice, "This is why I rushed from the (bccj) front to see you, General."

Diarmuid was stunned. This guy's intelligence seemed to have changed a bit? He looked confident?
