From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Diarmuid, who walked away, found it a little funny. He never expected that Borsalino, who was usually lazy and unfocused, could be so skillful when he was serious.

Soon, Diarmuid walked to the seats arranged by the navy. Garp, Zephyr, Chief of Staff Azuru, Kuzan, Gion and others were already sitting there.

At the same time, in order to promote good relationships, there are no camps or the like. You can see Princess Otohime, Queen Stusi, several members of the royal family, some high-ranking officials and nobles of Mary Geoise, all sitting here or walking around.

And on the surface, it seemed like everyone was having a good time and getting along well, with hypocritical and polite smiles on their faces.

Diarmait took a few steps forward and sat down next to Gion. He took a deep breath and said, "There are too many people. I almost died of heat." Gion also said with a smile, "Yes, especially in formal clothes. Otherwise, why do you think I am sitting with Kuzan?" Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kuzan, who was emitting white smoke all over his body, and thought he was practicing Taoism.

"Damn? Do you have to be so exaggerated?" Diarmait complained.

"I'm more afraid of heat than you guys, right?" Kuzan said with a blank look at Diarmait.

At this moment, Princess Otohime came over with a smile, extended her hand and said, "General Diarmait, it's been a long time since we last met."

A smile flickered in Diarmait's eyes. He reached out and took Princess Otohime's hand, shaking it gently before releasing it. "It's been a long time since we last met, Princess Otohime. I'm glad to see you in Marineford. This proves that our efforts have not been in vain, right?"

"Hehe, you are right. We are very grateful to you, especially about Jinbe." Princess Otohime said with a smile.

"It's nothing. This is what I should do." Diarmuid smiled and waved his hand.

At this moment, another group of reporters came over and stood in front of Diarmuid with their cameras.

Diarmait was confused. There are so many important people here, why are you chasing me?

"General Diarmait, are you close to Princess Otohime of Fishman Island?" a reporter asked excitedly.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your choice of words is quite inappropriate. Princess Otohime and I have known each other for a long time. We are friends who share common beliefs. You could say we are close. At the same time, I am also a very good friend of His Majesty Neptune of Fishman Island."

"Common belief? What does that mean?" another reporter asked.

"Ah, about this, we all agree that the mutual misunderstandings and discrimination between Fishman Island and the society on the sea should be eliminated, and the harmonious development of this world should be promoted together. I have always believed that there are many intelligent races in this world, and everyone should abandon their prejudices against each other. All intelligent races are equal. There is no one who is born nobler and who is born humbler. So I have been promoting these things in my spare time. Princess Otohime is a person of great wisdom and perseverance. Among the friends I know, she is one of the most worthy of my admiration." Diarmuid said very seriously.

Princess Otohime, who was standing by, also had a touch of emotion in her eyes. It was obvious that General Diarmait was supporting her.

Sure enough, as soon as Diarmait finished speaking, the reporters who were concerned about these issues began to interview Princess Otohime again.

As for the mutual business praise, Princess Otohime was also very generous in praising Diarmait and the naval generals led by Diarmait for their help to Fish-man Island.

At the same time, she also began to promote her own ideas, hoping that humans could coexist peacefully with the people of Fishman Island, and said a lot of things.

There was another group of reporters who were obviously here for Diarmait. They ignored his attempt to change the subject and asked, "Mr. Admiral, I heard that you were in a relationship with Vice Admiral Momotsuki in Marineford. Is that true?" Gion, who was standing aside, blushed and glared at the reporter with some embarrassment. Needless to say, this charming glance was immediately captured by the reporter.

Diarmuid thought about it for a moment and thought that these reporters were probably from some tabloid newspaper.

But he was indeed in a good mood today, and he never cared about the gossip these people spread.

So he didn't chase them away. Instead, he smiled and hugged Gion and said, "That's right, I also spent a lot of effort to catch up with our Navy Headquarters' military beauty. You don't know how many suitors Vice Admiral Momosa has, from Marineford to Mary Geoise. Fortunately, I am handsome and talented, so I was able to catch up with her..."

Gion, who was standing by, was stunned at first, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

Diarmait's words completely excited these gossip reporters.

"General, General, I heard that you are not only in a relationship with Lieutenant General Taotu, but also involved with your secretary, Major General Tina. Is that true? We heard that you and Major General Tina traveled to the hot spring island together..." Another reporter asked curiously.

Diarmait was a little surprised. You know all this?

Huh? No, no, I was in the hot springs with that rough guy, Dorag. Now that I think about it, it's a bit weird...

Therefore, Diarmuid straightened his face and said, "Of course not. However, as a man, I admire the beauty of Major General Tina very much. However, we are just colleagues. Major General Tina is very outstanding. She was the chief of the military academy back then. My teacher, Mr. Zefa, recommended her to me. Later, I did keep Major General Tina by my side to train her. She is an indispensable assistant in my work. To be honest, I am a very careless person. If she hadn't helped me to find out the gaps and fill them in, I don't know how many times I would have been punished. Hahahaha..." ...Please give me flowers.

After Diarmait finished speaking, the reporter was incredibly sharp. He turned the microphone directly to Gion and asked excitedly, "Lieutenant General Momosagi, General Diarmait said he really admires Major General Tina's beauty. What are your thoughts on this? And do you have any doubts about my previous question?"

Damn it... Diarmait cursed in his heart, if there weren't so many people here, I would have sent you to the sea to feed the fish!

Upon hearing this, Gion said with a smile, "Everyone loves beauty. When Diarmuid was pursuing me, he also said that he admired my beauty very much. I thought he was being a hooligan at the time. As for Major General Tina's beauty, I naturally also approve of it. As for my opinion..."

Having said this, Gion paused, turned to Diarmait and smiled, then said openly, "As long as he has me in his heart, that's enough."

The moment Gion finished speaking, even the reporters were stunned. There was no doubt that Gion was publicly stating that he didn't care whether Diarmait was unfaithful or not!

Diarmait was also a little surprised, then he smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

On the contrary, Kaji, who was not far away, was almost vomiting blood in anger. He was beating his chest and stamping his feet, which immediately attracted the attention of reporters.

"Lieutenant General Chatun, I heard that you had a crush on Lieutenant General Taotu for many years. You confessed your feelings in public many times and were rejected but you never gave up. What do you think of Lieutenant General Taotu's remarks just now?" the reporter asked in a very devilish tone.

Kaji almost stood up and hit him, his face extremely grim, but he still forced a smile and said, "What's the big deal? As Gion...Momoto said, everyone loves beauty. I also admired her beauty very much back then, and my motivation was the same as Diarmait's. As for why I didn't pursue her in the end, it can only be attributed to lack of fate. So of course, I wish them all the best now."

"Is it because of lack of fate? Isn't it because of appearance?" the reporter asked sharply again.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Chatun, I heard that within our headquarters, the relationship between you and General Diarmuid is the most strained. Is that true?" another reporter asked.

Just as Kaji's face grew increasingly grim, Diarmuid stood up, walked over to Kaji, put his arm around his shoulders, and said to the reporters with a smile, "What do you mean by stiff relationship? Kaji and I have been friends for many years. Don't you know that we both graduated from the 6th Officer Training Camp? As for pursuing Gion, Kaji and I are competing fairly, and it doesn't affect our direct personal relationship at all. As for the question of appearance, to be honest, at our level, we recognize each other, and when we interact, what matters more is character and inner qualities. Lieutenant General Kaji is undoubtedly a true gentleman, and I admire him for that. Moreover, although this guy didn't win over Gion and lost to me, who has more inner qualities, he is also pursued by many beautiful women in the headquarters. Don't underestimate him, okay? Right, Kaji?"

Kaji reacted quickly, smiled at Diarmait, and said, "Yes, that's right. Diarmait and I have a very good relationship. How can there be any stiffness?" After a slight pause, he said in a tone of good friends teasing each other, "Also, what do you mean by more profound than me? It's obvious that I am more talented!" "Hahahaha, you are still stubborn." Diarmait laughed, holding Kaji's shoulders.

Soon, the reporters, realizing they couldn't dig up any more information, quickly dispersed. Only then did Kake sigh softly and say, "Don't think I'll thank you..."

"Tsk, do you think I came here to thank you?" Diarmuid rolled his eyes at Kaji.

Then, they both laughed.

Chapter 279: Marshal's Ceremony! Justice Will Prevail!

After these tabloid reporters left, Diarmuid had some free time.

I didn't chat much with Kaji. Although the two of them seemed to have forgotten their grudges after laughing it off, it was impossible for them to talk about everything all of a sudden.

After returning to Gion and Kuzan, not long after they sat down, they saw Sakaski breaking away from a group of reporters and walking over.

Sakaski clearly lacks Borsalino's tact.

As soon as he sat down, he said angrily: "These bastards, the questions they ask are not well-intentioned!"

"What? You want to burn them to death?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

Sakaski gritted his teeth and said, "If I had the chance, I really want to burn these rubbish novels: Jiu7WuLiuThree=Two!(Four(OneMiaoZi!"

At the same time, Borsalino put his hands in his pockets, leisurely fooled the reporters, and then walked over.

Gion and Kuzan moved slightly to the side so that the three generals could sit together.

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say before that you wanted to find a devil fruit for Ace?" Diarmuid raised his eyebrows and asked Sakaski beside him.

Sakaski nodded and said, "Yes, what? Do you have any recommendations?"

"Nature type. Flame-Flame Fruit." Diarmait said calmly.

Sakaski's eyes lit up and he said, "Sure!"

This is good. Ace originally wanted to eat the nature-type fruit, and I wanted to find a fire-type power for Ace.

To be honest, Ace's relationship with Sakaski has progressed very quickly. To a large extent, he has been influenced by Sakaski and has developed some hawkish ideas.

Sakaski is still strong and healthy, and has plenty of time to train a successor to his faction.

And Ace is indeed the target he has set his sights on.

As for Ghost Spider and others, although Sakaski also attaches great importance to them, Ghost Spider and others are not much different in age from Sakaski after all, and it is impossible to train them as successors.

After all, by the time Sakaski retires, Ghost Spider and the others will be about the same!

Therefore, if you want to find a successor, you must train him or her from a young age.

Ace is Sakaski's tentative successor.

After a brief pause, Sakaski asked again, "Did you find it? Is it in your hand? The Flame-Flame Fruit?"

"No, but I found it. It's with Doflamingo. I've already made an agreement with him. Once the matter with the marshal is done, I'll get it back for you." Diarmait said with a smile.

Originally, I was thinking of waiting until the battle in the New World was over, but it seems that the battle in the New World cannot start for the time being. The final battle between those pirates still needs some time to prepare, so let's complete the Seven Warlords of the Sea first.

Jinbe has already made all the arrangements, so Doflamingo is the last of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Doflamingo? Don Quixote. Doflamingo?" Sakaski asked with a slight frown.

“That’s right.” Diarmuid nodded.

"That guy is not a good person. Are you close to him?" Sakaski asked in a deep voice.

If an ordinary person heard this, they would probably think that Sakaski was scolding or preaching.

But Diarmuid and Sakaski were old friends, so he naturally knew that this guy was a bit straightforward in his words. His tone, which sounded unfriendly, actually meant that he cared about you.

Yes, it is that outrageous.

Therefore, Diarmait did not get angry. He smiled and said, "Not really. He is not a good person, but he is very capable. Sometimes, I also need someone like him to help me with things that are inconvenient..."

Seeing that Diarmuid had an idea in mind, Sakaski stopped caring and simply nodded, saying firmly, "Then it's all right, as long as you know what's going on."

"Understood." Diarmait smiled.

Diarmait sat here and chatted with the navy and the bigwigs of other camps. Before long, the time for the ceremony came.

Afterwards, the originally noisy square soon became quiet. Even the reporters from the tabloids became well-behaved. They each found a suitable position and began to take photos and videos frantically.

The live broadcast telephones that had been set up were also turned on, broadcasting the current situation of Marineford to the whole world.

Diarmuid, Sakaski, and Borsalino were sitting directly opposite the ceremony podium, right in the middle of the first row of seats.

Sakaski was on his right, Borsalino on his left, and himself in the middle.

At some point, Diarmuid suddenly noticed that Sakaski and Borsalino had both adopted an arrogant sitting posture, with their legs crossed high, as if they were afraid that it would not show that their legs were the same length.

Looking more closely, wow, isn’t this the legendary 'general’s sitting posture'?

The one with the law of causality, it is said that Kuzan ended up having his leg broken because he failed to keep up with the admiral's trend?

After thinking about it, Diarmait decided not to take the risk and just cooperate with the two pretentious guys around him.

Therefore, Diarmuid also leaned back on the chair, and then imitated Sakaski and Borsalino, also putting on an arrogant attitude, crossing his legs directly, looking like a big boss.

At this moment, a reporter suddenly took a picture of the three people's postures. This photo has become one of the classic photos that has been circulated for a long time.

After assuming this posture, Diarmait felt very uncomfortable. Is this the kind of sitting posture a normal person can assume?

"Don't you two feel any pain in your legs?" Diarmuid asked Sakaski and Borsalino beside him in a low voice.

Sakaski, Borsalino???

"What?" Borsalino asked in surprise.

"Ahem, nothing... Look, General Warring States... No, it's time to call the marshal now, the marshal is here." Diarmuid raised his eyebrows towards the podium.

Sure enough, following Diarmait's gaze, one could see a tall and steady figure walking out from the end of the red carpet behind the podium that led directly to the Marineford Fortress of Justice.
