From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Speaking of which, Diarmait told Jinbe, Dragon and the others that he was very busy, but in fact, during these few days in Marineford, Diarmait did not really participate in these things.

Of course, it is not his turn to care about the promotion of marshals or commander-in-chief.

Only Borsalino's affairs could he intervene, but there was no need.

After returning to Marineford, Diarmait first dealt with some accumulated official business and arranged for Jinbe to serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Diarmuid directly submitted the report to Mary Geoise.

In fact, Mary Geoise has always wanted to maintain good relations with Fish-man Island. In the previous series of cooperation between the Navy and Fish-man Island, the Five Elders and others all expressed their support.

But it broke at the back, which was very embarrassing.

Now, the Admiral Diarmait has put aside some of the dirty stuff between him and Jinbe, and selflessly proposed that Jinbe be appointed as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to further improve the relationship between Fish-Man Island and the World Government.

Of course, the Five Elders had no reason to disagree and quickly approved the matter.

However, at this stage, it is not appropriate for Jinbe to jump out and steal the limelight of the navy's major events. Therefore, Diarmait plans to wait until Admiral Sengoku officially becomes the marshal and finishes all the navy's affairs before arranging Jinbe to take the position.

Seven days after Diarmait returned to Marineford.

The Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government, issued the highest administrative directive.

Promoted to Grand Admiral of the Navy. Steel Bone. Sora, Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces, oversees all military affairs.

From then on, the CP Agency, the Marijoa Army, the armies of the World Government's member nations, the Marine Headquarters, the Shichibukai, and other related violent organizations under the World Government were all nominally under the command of the Commander-in-Chief, Sora.

Of course, it is only in name. For example, CP Agency 637 and the Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot seriously obey the orders of the commander-in-chief of the army.

Commander Cyborg had been mentally prepared for this, and he was not panicking. As long as the navy fully supported him, it would be enough. After all, according to the violent organization, the navy was the leader of Mary Geoise.

On the surface, Commander Cyborg is not planning to integrate the power of the CP agency and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Because he knew very well that the people above would not really allow him to interfere in these things.

So his main goals now are two: first, to try to coordinate the armies under the flags of the various allied countries to enhance his influence; second, to rebuild Mary Geoise's Army Department.

As for the main internal goal, it is naturally to secretly and strongly support the development of the navy and give the navy the green light!

Marshal Cyborg became Marshal Cyborg.

So the position of Admiral of the Navy naturally became vacant.

On the second day after Grand Marshal Cyborg was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the entire army, a group of naval leaders, led by Diarmuid and including Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, Garp, Gion, Chief of Staff Azuru and even the reclusive naval chief Zephyr, jointly wrote a letter to Mary Geoise, requesting approval for one of the current admirals of the navy, Buddha Sengoku, to serve as the new marshal of the naval headquarters!

This matter was originally decided internally. Apart from the Warring States generals, no one else had the prestige to serve as the new naval marshal.

Not even Diarmait.

Therefore, the Five Elders did not hesitate at all and directly handed the petition to the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief Steel for processing.

It can also be considered as a favor to the Navy and the Commander-in-Chief, helping Commander-in-Chief Cyborg to quickly establish his authority.

When Admiral Cyborg was the Admiral of the Navy, he had already chosen Sengoku as his successor.

So there was no possibility of any twists and turns. In less than five minutes, Commander-in-Chief Cyborg finished reading the joint petition from the navy and directly signed his name on the last page of the document, approving the matter.

Afterwards, the news that Admiral Zhan Guo would be the new Grand Admiral of the Navy spread like a storm, sweeping across the world.

A large number of newspapers were publishing this news frantically.

The World News, in particular, devoted several days of special issues to General Sengoku, listing all of his achievements, big and small, over the past few decades since he joined the navy as a young man.

Morgans is also a clever man. He knows very well that Zhan Guo is bound to become the Grand Marshal and there is no possibility of him wavering.

Therefore, the News of the World was shameless. In order to please the new marshal of the navy, it praised the Warring States general to death and made him a rare talent in the navy in hundreds of years.

As a result, the Warring States general felt embarrassed when he went out these days, for fear that others would praise him.

Unlike when Marshal Cyborg was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the entire army, Marshal Cyborg took office in a very low-key manner. Apart from some related news published in the newspapers, there was no other action.

But the navy is different. The navy must always maintain its influence and at the same time, establish the prestige of the new marshal Zhan Guo as soon as possible.

The Naval Headquarters will hold a press conference at the ceremony of Admiral Sengoku being promoted to Marshal, and it will be broadcast live worldwide.

Marineford has been extremely busy recently, and most people are busy with this matter.

In the Justice Square, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, a podium was set up, a lot of related equipment was laid out, and many people from all walks of life were invited to participate in this grand ceremony.

Among them were numerous reporters, even the president of the News of the World. Big news. Morgans had come in person, as had some kings of allied nations with good relations with the Sengoku. Even Princess Otohime of Fishman Island had personally arrived at Marineford to participate in this event.

At the same time, as a brother agency of the Marine Headquarters, the CP agency, although fighting with each other on a daily basis, still has to show the outside world the peaceful atmosphere within the World Government in such matters.

Therefore, as the representative of the CP agency, Queen Stussy quickly came to Marineford to congratulate after handling the matters on the Dragon side, and participated in the marshal's inauguration ceremony.

For a moment, Marineford was ablaze with stars. This square, which usually only had the navy, was now filled with dignitaries from various countries, bigwigs of the World Government, members of the CP organization, reporters, wealthy businessmen, and nobles.

Even Bartholomew Kuma had come to Marineford from Punk Hazard as a representative of the Shichibukai, ready to make an appearance or something.

In Diarmait's office, Diarmait was not dressed as casually as usual.

Today is the auspicious day when the Warring States general is promoted to marshal, so of course he has to dress formally.

He was wearing a high-end black suit, which was very decent. His sharp black short hair was also very handsome, and his beard was also neatly trimmed.

"Hahahaha, was General Warring States almost mad to death?" Diarmuid laughed while taking off his cloak of justice with the general's epaulettes from the hanger while wearing this handsome outfit (bccj).

Tina, also wearing a crimson suit today, with the Cloak of Justice draped over her shoulders, said to Diarmait with a sweet smile, "Yes, General Zhan Guo was nearly pissed off. He contacted the Five Elders and asked them to put a stop to this farce."

"Hahaha, if those bastards had come, there would have been no need for any ceremony today." Diarmait still laughed.

It turned out that in the morning, a Celestial Dragon suddenly heard that the Marine Headquarters would be very lively today, and it seemed that someone was going to be the Marine Admiral.

So he wanted to join in the fun, but when General Zhan Guo heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If the Celestial Dragons came here, how could there be any proper ceremony? Everyone kowtowed together on the live broadcast? Even with the temperaments of people like Diarmuid, Garp, and Sakaski, they could beat up the Celestial Dragons on the live broadcast!

Therefore, the Warring States general was shameless and directly contacted the Five Elders, crying and shouting as he reported the matter to them.

Of course, the Five Elders also knew that today was a big day for the Navy. Losing the Navy's prestige would not be good for the World Government, so they immediately agreed to this matter. It is said that they immediately ordered someone to put the mentally ill Celestial Dragon under house arrest.

Diarmait casually threw the cloak of justice over his shoulders and prepared to walk out the door.

"Let's go. We can't be late. Today is the home game of General Zhan Guo... No, I'm not used to changing my words. Today is the home game of our new boss, Marshal Zhan Guo. We must not be late." Diarmuid said with a smile.

Tina looked at her watch and said, "There's still more than an hour left. We won't be late."

Of course, she was just reminding Diarmait and had no intention of stopping him. She followed Diarmait out and helped Diarmait open the office door.

But just as Diarmait was about to step out, Tina suddenly called out, "Wait a moment, General."

“What’s wrong?” Diarmait stopped and asked.

Tina took two steps forward, tiptoed, and reached out to grab Diarmait's untidy tie. As she adjusted it, she said, "There are reporters everywhere today. After Marshal Zhan Guo goes up, you will be the most senior of the three generals. There will definitely be many people who want to interview you. You must pay attention to your image and show your best side. Otherwise, even I, your secretary, will be embarrassed..."

Tina was standing on tiptoe, carefully adjusting Diarmait's tie, so she was very close to Diarmait. As soon as she spoke, a faint fragrance drifted into Diarmait's nose.

Diarmait smiled and glanced down slightly, just in time to see Tina's forehead right next to his chin.

Without thinking too much, Diarmait lowered his head slightly, raised his chin, and tapped Tina's forehead.

Tina was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

At this time, the tie was also straightened. Diarmait laughed and patted Tina's shoulder and said, "Looks handsome, right? Hahahaha..."

After saying this, Diarmuid walked around Tina and left the office.

Tina finally came to her senses, reached out and touched her head, and cursed in shame and anger: "You bastard general, you took advantage of me again! I'm going to complain to Sister Gion!!!"

"Hahahaha, then go ahead and sue me. I'm leaving first." Diarmait said in the corridor without turning back.

Just as I passed by the office of the Warring States General, I saw the door open and an equally tall figure walked out. This figure was wearing a yellow striped suit and a cloak of justice. He looked very formal, but he looked very wretched.

Through the door that was not closed tightly, Diarmait also saw someone inside moving some things.

And the person in front of him was Borsalino.

If you look closely, you will find that Borsalino's shoulder straps have been changed from lieutenant general to general.

That's right, he also took office as the Navy Admiral today, and will attend the promotion ceremony of Marshal Zhan Guo as an admiral. Naturally, Zhan Guo's office will also belong to him.

This matter was relatively low-key. Both Diarmait and Sakaski's promotions to general were done quietly and smoothly. Borsalino, who never really liked the spotlight, was no exception. As soon as Borsalino left, he said to Diarmait with a quirky smile, "Pay attention to your personal conduct, General Diarmait. Be careful about Tina complaining about you..."

Diarmait rolled his eyes at Borsalino and said, "Have you become more reserved now that you've become a general?" "I'm not going to take your nonsense seriously..." Borsalino teased. Diarmait ignored the question and asked directly, "Are you ready? Let's go together?" "Yes, let's go together," Borsalino said, nodding his head.

Afterwards, the two admirals left here together.

Chapter 278 General Diarmuid answers reporters’ questions! ?

As soon as he walked out of the Fortress of Justice in Marineford, Diarmait felt a wave of heat hitting him.

Wow, the originally spacious Justice Square was filled with loud drums and gongs, blasting firecrackers, waving colorful flags, and huge crowds of people.

Fortunately, there were still a large number of soldiers from the Navy Headquarters maintaining order. Although there were too many people, it did not appear chaotic.

"I've been in Marineford for so many years, but I've never seen such a grand scene..." Diarmait said with a little emotion.

Borsalino was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Me too."

Although Borsalino had been a marine in Marineford a few years earlier than Diarmait, he had never witnessed the scene when Admiral Cyborg took office.

In fact, it was the first time for most of the navy to see the inauguration ceremony of the Navy Marshal. The previous Marshal Cyborg didn't seem to have done any of this.

At the same time, many generals came out of the Fortress of Justice, greeted Diarmait and Borsalino with a smile, and walked towards the square.

Several areas have been divided there, and an open-air viewing platform has been set up, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Diarmuid and Borsalino did not waste any time and walked over there while chatting.

As a result, after leaving the blockaded area, a large number of reporters rushed over and shone the spotlights on Diarmait and Borsalino, almost blinding Diarmait.

He now regrets not wearing sunglasses like Borsalino did.

"Mr. Borsalino, I heard that today is not only the promotion ceremony for Marshal Sengoku, but also your official inauguration as Admiral of the Navy, correct?"

"Mr. Kizaru, you were once the most senior member of the new generation of the navy, but you are the last one to serve as an admiral. Do you have any complaints about this?"

"General, Mr. General! Could you please discuss who is more powerful, you, General Diarmuid, or General Sakaski? I believe many people are eager to hear the answer."

As today's new general, Borsalino naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, there were also many people surrounding Diarmait and asking him questions.

The questions asked by these reporters were also very sharp, and some of them were divisive. They really just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble.

Diarmait didn't want to pay any attention to these people. He activated the repulsive force of the gravity field on his body and pushed the crowd away and walked out.

It was Borsalino, however, who answered a few questions with a smile. After all, he was taking office as a general today, so he had to say a few words.

"First of all, I did take office as the admiral of the navy today. This is not a problem worth discussing. It's just a normal personnel transfer within the navy. As for the complaints you just raised, to be honest, there are none. Our navy is an army of justice. We joined the navy not to fight for power, but to better maintain justice on the sea and protect the country and the people. Therefore, the relationship between the three of us admirals is very good. Otherwise, I would not have walked out with Admiral Diarmait just now, right?" Borsalino stood there and talked nonsense to the reporters.
