From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

That's right, Teach didn't tell anyone about his search for the Dark-Dark Fruit, except for Lucci, the little guy he raised.

After all, Teach really trusts and is optimistic about Lucci.

Of course, he only told Lucci that he wanted to find the Dark-Dark Fruit, become a user of the ability, and give his friends on the ship a surprise. Lucci broke free from Teach's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone..."

Teach nodded, and seeing that no one around was paying attention to them, he asked, "What's wrong? Do you have any news?" When he mentioned this, Teach's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Lucci shook his head slightly, then whispered, "Some related news. I heard that some people are also actively searching for the Dark-Dark Fruit recently..."

Titch???

His expression changed, and a dark and murderous look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and whispered, "Who is it? Who else has the same vision as me and would like the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

"It seems to be that Tenyaksha, do you know him? He has great power in the dark world and is also the largest devil fruit dealer in the dark world. Not long ago, he seemed to have spent 2 billion berries to obtain a Flame-Flame Fruit. Now, he has even put out a bounty of 5 billion berries in the dark world, specifically looking for someone to collect the Dark-Dark Fruit..." Lucci said in a low voice.

"Doflamingo?" Teach was a little surprised.

Isn’t he a person with special abilities?

Why would he still be looking for the Dark-Dark Fruit?

Did someone entrust him with this?

"Fifty billion berries?" Teach murmured again. Everyone on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship was suffering, and so was Teach. Otherwise, he would have wanted to find a chance to offer a bounty in the dark world.

Anyway, if he is asked to spend 5 billion berries to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit now, he won't be able to do it.

Because there is no money!

After thinking about it, Teach whispered to Lucci, "Please keep an eye on this Tenyaksha for me. If you have any news, tell me as soon as possible." Lucci did not refuse. He nodded casually and said, "I understand, but does it have to be the Dark-Dark Fruit? Nothing else is possible?" "Nothing else is possible. I'll bet my whole life on this devil fruit. Otherwise, I'd rather not be a power user." Teach said carelessly.

There is nothing to hide about this because it is normal.

It's said that many people are still frantically searching for Shiki's Float-Float Fruit. It's quite common for them to be determined not to be tempted by other abilities.

Right

Chapter 284: Diarmait: Let me do it, I promise to chop off Doflamingo's head! (Monthly ticket bonus, more chapters!)

It is the middle of 1512 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The war in the new world has not yet begun.

Doflamingo, a guy who has been silent for the past few years, brought big news to the whole world not long ago.

In 1512, because the reconstruction of Marijoa was not completed, the World Government did not hold the World Conference that was supposed to be held every four years.

After all, there is not much space. We can't invite royal families from various countries to the construction site and hold meetings while eating dirt, right?

However, although this world conference has been stopped and will not be held, each country must give not a penny less of the gold and other gifts it deserves.

There is nothing much to say about this.

In the past few decades or even hundreds of years, no one has dared to touch the gold in the sky.

Therefore, Mary Geoise did not pay too much attention to this annual routine.

And it was in this situation of carelessness that big problems arose.

Doflamingo had been planning in the North Sea for a long time, and finally snatched the Tianshangjin from the North Sea countries when it was about to arrive in Mary Geoise.

There were more than seventy ships, all loaded with gold and cash.

It is said to be worth tens of trillions of baileys.

Although it sounds very scary, if you think about it carefully, this is the sky gold jointly invested by the member states of the North Sea, one of the four major sea areas in the world. It seems normal to have tens of trillions of Baileys.

After all, the North Sea accounts for nearly a quarter of the member states. Judging from the share of Tianshang Gold, big countries have to pay at least one trillion Baileys every year. Small countries may have less pressure, but they must at least start with hundreds of billions of Baileys.

As soon as the incident of Doflamingo's "Six-Three-Seven" brother came out, it immediately occupied the front page headlines of major news outlets.

My goodness! The whole world was in an uproar, and the countries in the North Sea were even more panicked, fearing that the world government would shift the blame to them and ask them to pay this heavenly gold again.

Doflamingo was an interesting guy, as he followed Diarmait's advice and personally paid out 500 billion berries to give to Mary Geoise.

At the same time, he formally informed the Five Elders and others that Tenshokin was just temporarily detained by him and he had no intention of moving him. He only wanted a position among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

If you give me this position, I, Doflamingo, will return all the Sky Gold without hesitation, and these 500 billion Beli will be regarded as apology to the World Government.

Of course, if you don’t give me the position of Shichibukai, I will sink this Tianshangjin into the sea to feed the fish, and I will not return a single cent to you, Mary Geoise!

Of course, these secret transactions were not publicized.

On Mary Geoise's side, the Five Elders are also actively dealing with this matter.

Red Earth Continent. At the port of Mary Geoise, a warship hadn't even landed before the ship's ladder was already impatiently lowered.

Then the Grand Admiral of the Navy, Zhan Guo, and Diarmuid came down from the ship.

It can be seen that Marshal Zhan Guo looked helpless, but he did not look very angry.

He felt helpless because he had only been the marshal for less than half a year, and the pirate Doflamingo had already committed such a big case. How could he not feel bad?

The reason why he didn't get angry was because Diarmait had already informed him in advance, so he was mentally prepared and knew what Doflamingo was planning.

"At least wait until the boat stops before getting off. You are in your forties and a person with special abilities. What if you are thrown off the boat and fall into the sea..." Diarmuid complained behind Marshal Zhan Guo.

But after he said this, he paused for a moment and said, "Huh? That's not right. If you drowned in the sea, wouldn't I immediately become a popular candidate for the new Navy Admiral?"

Are you a little excited when you think about it?

Marshal Zhan Guo was so angry that he almost vomited blood after hearing Diarmait's shameless words. He turned around and said angrily, "Don't worry, I have already made a will. If I die, I will immediately activate the emergency record and let Zefa come back to serve as the Navy Admiral temporarily. It has nothing to do with you, a bastard!"

"Damn it, Marshal, you are going too far. Teacher Zefa is so old and suffers from asthma. How can you let him work so hard? You might as well change the will to me. ... I am young and strong, and I am not afraid of this hardship!" Diarmait said, patting his chest.

"Come on, forget it. I'm really afraid that as soon as I write this will, you'll kill me." Marshal Zhan Guo complained.

Of course, both of them knew that these were all jokes.

It is impossible for Diarmait to actually murder the War Marshal.

It is impossible for Marshal Zhan Guo to really make a will to make Zefa the marshal. He does not have the power to do so, and the navy is not a company founded by him alone.

"Stop joking, you bastard, what you and Doflamingo have done this time is quite serious. The Five Elders are so anxious that they want me to come to Marijoa to see him immediately. He also specifically said to take you with me. Let me ask you first, you don't have any handles or clues left behind, right? Don't let the Five Elders find out, otherwise you'll be dead!" Marshal Sengoku said in a low voice.

"When Doflamingo was robbing the Tensho Gold, I was already having tea in Marineford. How could I possibly leave any trace? Don't worry, I think the Five Elders think I'm resourceful and maybe want to hear my opinion or something. What's more, as an admiral of the navy, isn't it normal for me to be recruited at this time? It's not the time when I had a quarrel with them." Diarmait said calmly.

As for the matter of Tian Shang Jin, he just listened to Doflamingo's talk and gave some "technical guidance" by the way. He had no plan or any participation at all.

How could it be blamed on my own head?

It is even more impossible to be discovered by the Five Elders!

Unless Doflamingo betrays him, but would he dare? Besides, there's no need!

He has no evidence to support his words, and Diarmuid can sue him for defamation!

Moreover, he had offended Diarmait, and he still wanted to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? He was a piece of shit, as it was not in line with his fundamental purpose. Therefore, Diarmait did not think that Doflamingo would have the courage to throw dirty water on him.

After chatting and reconciling their statements, Diarmuid and Marshal Zhan Guo soon arrived at the door of the Five Elders' office.

After knocking on the door, there was a response from inside.

Marshal Zhan Guo pushed the door open and walked in, and Diarmuid naturally followed.

As soon as I entered, I saw the Five Elders and others sitting together with serious expressions, and opposite them stood Queen Stusi.

There is no doubt that when such a big thing happens, the CP agency will of course be dispatched.

Her Majesty the Queen has been a favorite among the Five Elders in recent years.

After all, the Stusi are not only well-behaved, but also very capable. The tasks assigned by the Five Elders are always completed perfectly with the mutual care of Diarmuid, Smoker, Dorag and others.

In addition, her Happy Street has great money-making ability, and she has invested in Smoker's "Amway Group", making her a well-known wealthy woman in the New World.

A lot of blood transfusions have been given to the World Government.

The Five Elders are very short of money now. Stussy can continuously inject huge amounts of funds into Mary Geoise. They are not optimistic about Stussy, a CP boss who has strong work ability and can make money. Who do they think of?

Marshal Zhan Guo and Diarmait nodded to Queen Stusi normally.

Nowadays, many superficial relationships have become a little clearer. The Five Elders also know that Stussy is one of the few CP agency bosses who has a good relationship with the Navy, and he has indeed completed several difficult tasks with the help of the Navy.

If it were more than ten years ago, they would certainly be very taboo about such things.

After all, the CP people have a good relationship with the Navy, which means that the power balance strategy formulated by their Five Elders has been broken.

However, in recent years, the Five Elders have relaxed some of their control over these matters.

After all, the current situation is not very good. If we still arrange for the Navy and the CP agencies to compete with each other and hinder each other, wouldn’t that be wrong?

It was because Queen Stussy realized this change that she took the initiative to make the relationship clearer.

To a certain extent, it is also done for the Five Elders to see.

I just want to let the Five Elders know that she, Stussy, follows the ideas of the Five Elders closely. If you want me to fight the navy, I, Stussy, will make things difficult for the navy.

If you want me to ease relations with the navy, I can immediately show an attitude of being close to the navy!

It's true that the Queen's move did temporarily fool the Five Elders and prevented them from thinking too much about it.

What's more, in fact, according to normal logic, the CP agency and the navy have been at odds for hundreds of years, and no one would really think about whether the two organizations would be in cahoots.

Queen Stusi also smiled kindly at Marshal Zhan Guo and Diarmait as a greeting...

The Five Elders then spoke up, "Zhan Guo, Diarmait, you're here too. Let's not be polite and stop talking nonsense. This is an urgent matter. Such a big thing has happened in the North Sea. That bastard Doflamingo dared to touch Tenjojin. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Before Marshal Sengoku could even speak, Diarmuid patted his chest and said, "Of course, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated. Mary Geoise and our navy represent order and justice. How can we bow to those bastard pirates? Otherwise, if we set this precedent, anyone will dare to use Tenshojin to negotiate with us. If it were you, I'd ignore Doflamingo and the rest. My lords, I'm going back to Marineford with twenty warships. Give me three months, and I'll place Doflamingo's head before you. I guarantee he'll be killed without further ado! Set an example for you!"

Five Elder Stars???

Are you, Diarmait, so irritable?

But then I thought, it seems that this guy was called the 'violent tiger of the Marine Headquarters' in his early years. It is said that Cyborg was beaten by him?

However, the Five Elders clearly disagreed with Diarmait's words, but it was difficult for them to say no. After all, Diarmait's words directly stood on their moral high ground. Now if the five of them said they wanted to compromise, how embarrassing it would be!

The Five Elders would never doubt whether Diarmait could kill Doflamingo.

But Doflamingo is such a cunning person that if he dies, he will probably drag Tensho Kin down with him.

This is what they don't want to see.

Marshal Zhan Guo saw Diarmait's acting skills and looked at the Five Elders. He realized that the time was almost right and that too much was as bad as too little. He also grabbed Diarmait and said, "Not really, not really. Let's think about it later, let's think about it later!"

"Marshal! You don't want to compromise with the pirates, do you? You are the Admiral of the Navy!" Diarmait said righteously again.

Marshal Zhan Guo glared at Diarmait fiercely and said, "You're not done yet, are you?"
