From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Third, during this period, Doflamingo, who had been silent for many years, suddenly emerged and has become a big figure with his own traffic. It is said that the pirates and dark forces of all sizes in the North Sea now admire Doflamingo very much. This guy is also smart.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Diarmait's personal "permission" to put on a big show with the Navy Headquarters, he packaged himself well and immediately became the leader of the dark forces in the North Sea.

An idol in the hearts of many evil parties.

For example, the hyena in the future. Bellamy, who grew up hearing about Doflamingo's "great deeds", naturally regarded Doflamingo as his spiritual leader. Later, he was loyal to him and had no complaints even when he was betrayed.

And Bellamy is just one of the people in the North Sea.

All in all, Doflamingo's prestige in the North Sea has reached its peak at this time.

The last point is that it completely established Doflamingo's identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Now, there is only one position left among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so everyone on the sea feels that the last of the Seven Warlords of the Sea must be a truly heavyweight figure.

And Doflamingo's taking this position means that he has the "weight" of Marijoa and the Marine Headquarters endorsing him!

With all these reasons combined, in the year 1512 of the Haiyuan calendar, Doflamingo deservedly became the son of the year and became extremely popular!

Just when everyone thought that Doflamingo would strike while the iron is hot, use his current prestige to make great strides and accomplish great things.

But he found that Doflamingo quickly became quiet, as if the person who took the lead in robbing Tenjokin in the first half of the year and seized the position of Shichibukai in the second half of the year was not him at all.

He still quietly stayed in the North Sea, continued to stabilize his power, and delved deeply into the dark world, as if becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was his ultimate goal as a pirate, and he had no intention of continuing to cause trouble.

Most people were puzzled, but some smart people probably guessed that Doflamingo was probably watching the situation, or in other words, waiting for the battle for the New World Pirate King to come to an end.

If you think about it carefully, although Doflamingo is the most popular big shot this year, in terms of foundation and power, he really cannot compare with the big guys who are competing in the New World.

Even the White Hunter, who had the weakest foothold among them. Smoker, that was the first generation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who could call the wind and rain in the New World, stirring up the situation, and could sprinkle billions of Baileys with a wave of his hand, and with a single order, countless pirate brothers would die.

Although Doflamingo is not bad, he is really no match!

Of course, this is still just an appearance. In fact, with Doflamingo's bold and reckless character, when he goes crazy, he will even kill his own father and dare to steal the gold in the sky. Would he dare not enter the New World?

If Diarmait hadn't strictly warned Doflamingo not to go to the New World to stir up trouble and cause trouble for him during this period, Doflamingo really planned to join in the fun as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to see if he could get any benefits.

That’s right, there was actually only one reason why Doflamingo calmed down, and that was because Diarmait told him not to cause trouble.

Now Doflamingo is still very respectful to Diarmait, and he doesn't dare to ignore Diarmait just because he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Because the more he came into contact with him and the more he understood him, the more he could understand how cruel and powerful Diarmait's methods were.

So he was thinking now that while he had nothing to do, he should use his spare time to look for the Dark-Dark Fruit.

If he could exchange a devil fruit for a promise from Diarmait, Doflamingo felt it was a sure win.

Meanwhile, at the Admiralty Headquarters, Marineford.

Diarmait, wearing a cloak of justice and holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand, was walking hurriedly in the corridor on the top floor of the Fortress of Justice.

Behind him followed Tina, a major general-level secretary. Tina was also holding a large pile of documents in her arms, taking small steps and quickly following Diarmait.

"What the hell is this mess? I'm about to enter the New World. The Marshal wants me to take a few people to support that bastard Smoker. You're talking to me about zombies now, are you kidding me? Why would I care about zombies?" Diarmait cursed at the Den Den Mushi.

"Admiral, I'm serious. There really are zombies. We can often see them in the waters near the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line. I've seen the video footage, and it's clear they're indestructible." Rear Admiral Bastiu of the Navy Headquarters quickly spoke up over at Den Den Mushi.

Bastiu, Tina's friend, is known as the shark slayer. He likes to wear a mask that hides his face, and his common weapon is a shark-slaying knife.

It is said that when he just graduated, he followed the warship to sea to fight, but ended up lost in the sea. In the end, the people on the ship almost starved to death at sea. It was he, Bastiu, who brought a shark-cutting knife and bled the sharks in the sea, attracting a large number of sharks. Each person used a knife, and by cutting the sharks and eating their meat, he helped the warship survive the most difficult time and wait for rescue.

Since then, he has earned the reputation of 'Same Slayer' in the headquarters.

In fact, his strength was not particularly strong, but he was not weak either. His promotion to lieutenant general was also quite standard.

And this guy is now also a member of the Diarmait faction, and is currently responsible for some things in the first half of the Grand Line.

Diarmait was also confused when he heard this. What the hell is this? Zombies? I'm not doing any biochemical crisis!

"Let me ask you, is it very harmful? Has it spread? Is it contagious?" Diarmuid asked the Den Den Mushi.

"It's not an influx, but it seems that their numbers are continuing to grow. Their infectiousness has been eliminated. I've seen a few unlucky pirates who survived after fighting zombies, and there were no abnormalities..." Bastiu explained quickly.

Diarmait frowned slightly and said, "Pirate?"

"Yes, it's strange to say that these zombies can actually sail and actively attack pirates... When I think about it, it feels a bit like doing justice for the people." Bastiu said with a smile.

Diarmuid had a vague idea in his mind. He only knew one person in the world who was involved in zombies: Moonlight Moriah.

But unfortunately, Moria seems to have become Dorag's man.

Moriah and his men, under Dragon's leadership, have some dignity. Except when they stir up political upheavals in various countries, when they feel they might harm innocent people, they usually don't do anything to ordinary people. And now, this zombie is specifically attacking pirates... ... Flowers please.

This style is very similar to Dorag's style!

Diarmuid really didn't believe that Moria wasn't behind this.

"Since that bastard zombie is attacking the pirates, why do you care about him? What's the matter? Did the pirates report it to you?" Diarmuid cursed at the Den Den Mushi.

Bastiu seemed completely unfazed by Diarmait's tone, as if he were used to it. After a moment's thought, he asked with some concern, "Admiral, what if they go crazy later?" "You handle it yourself!" Diarmait replied unhappily. He didn't have the energy to care about zombies right now, especially zombies that specifically attacked pirates. What was the navy's business?

After a brief pause, Diarmait considered it for a moment, then said, "I'll send someone to check on you. You can wait and see what happens. I don't think it will turn into a disaster. Okay, that's it. I'll have someone notify you when there's any news."

After saying this, Diarmuid hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Tina behind him asked curiously at this time: "General, what is a zombie?"

"It's the living dead, or walking corpses or something like that." Diarmait waved his hand.

Then, without waiting for Tina to speak, he ordered again: "Contact Agent Robin from the Intelligence Department and ask her to check for me. Is that bastard Moonlight Moriah near the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line? He might even be in Alabasta... I suspect this zombie incident was caused by that bastard. After you get the information, have the Chief of Staff analyze it and pass it on to Bastiu...."

"What did Moria do?" Tina asked in surprise.

“That should be correct.” Diarmuid nodded.

But Moriah has gone to hang out with Dragon, so how can Hogbuk find him? And can he cooperate with him to study the living dead?

Is there something wrong with these two people?

In fact, it’s true that this was done by Moria, and it was even planned by Dragon.

Hogbaq's reason for seeking out Moriah had nothing to do with whether he was a pirate or not. He didn't care about being a pirate or anything else. He simply wanted to use Moriah's power to study the taboos of life and death and resurrect the singer he had always coveted, Sindori.

I don't know how this guy found Moria, and he really has a lot in common with Moria.

The Dorag group has suffered considerable losses over the years, especially after the Mary Geoise arson case, when the CP agency pursued them relentlessly, and their casualties have always been high.

When Hogback came to find Moria, this guy suddenly had an idea: if he could create an undead army, it would be very convenient to do anything.

This matter soon reached Dorag. Dorag had no money and the organization was also stretched to the limit. The treasures found in Mary Geoise could not support their business forever.

Therefore, if the casualties could be reduced, the pension expenses could be reduced as much as possible. So after much hesitation, he approved Moria's attempt to create this zombie army.

But the order given to Moria was also very firm, that is, they must not be blamed for this.

Because this kind of thing of desecrating corpses and manipulating life and death has always been deeply hated by all parties, if Dorag was not forced by money, he would definitely not dare to get involved in this matter.

Dorag also decided not to do much, just to form a small legion, cover it with the skin of black gloves, and give it to Crocodile's bastard Baroque Works, and let it secretly be responsible for some of the most dangerous sieges in the war.

Therefore, Diarmait had never expected that, thanks to Moonlight, Moria had joined Dorag's army, and these people had actually created an undead army...

But it doesn't matter. This thing actually has almost no deterrent effect on the strong. Even if he had received some news earlier, he probably wouldn't take it seriously.

He pushed open the door of the Marshal's office, then stepped in and said, "Marshal, do you want to take action? This time we will follow the plan and not send troops into the New World, right?"

Chapter 289: General Diarmuid’s incident has been exposed, is he planning to run away?

In the office, Marshal Zhan Guo looked up at Diarmait and said, "I heard the commotion in the corridor from my room. What's going on?"

"Nothing. They said there were some zombies causing trouble in the first half of the Grand Line. I've already sent people to investigate." Diarmait waved his hand.

Marshal Zhan Guo didn't ask any more questions after seeing this. He then said, "Indeed, the situation in the New World doesn't allow us to intervene on a large scale. Therefore, we will stick to the original plan. You can take a few people and help Smoker gain a foothold. I don't think he needs any military support."

Diarmait nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "Alright, is there anything else you would like to order? In name only, this matter is under the jurisdiction of you, the Grand Marshal of the Warring States."

In fact, Smoker is not short of troops. He is rich and powerful in the New World and has no shortage of younger brothers.

He just lacks some top-level combat power to help him control the situation and gain status and benefits.

Therefore, Diarmuid and his navy do not need to make a big move, just take a few experts with them.

"There's nothing much to explain to you. Everything that needs to be discussed has been agreed upon in the previous meeting, right? There's just one thing: no matter if it's Whitebeard, Charlotte, Linlin, or Kaido, none of them can become the winner. Just grasp the right balance." Marshal Sengoku ordered.

To put it simply, you can neither help Whitebeard kill Kaido and Charlotte, nor can you kill Whitebeard.

The best thing is to help Smoker maximize his benefits, and then divide the New World into three parts: Smoker Pirates "637", Whitebeard Pirates, and Big Mom's Beast Alliance, to maintain a relatively balanced situation, buy more time for the Navy, and by the way, establish external enemies to divert attention.

Diarmait nodded without saying anything else.

This sounds complicated, but in fact, it is very simple to actually do it.

The first step is to help Smoker and Whitebeard beat up Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, and then just don't kill them.

The second step, during this stage, should be considered a victory for Smoker and Whitebeard, but this situation cannot be maintained. I believe Whitebeard wants to wipe out Charlotte Linlin and Kaido in one go.

At this point, Smoker and Whitebeard will directly fall out, breaking the alliance and creating some breathing space for Kaido and Charlotte.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should end here.

If there is any accident, we will take it one step at a time.

"Okay, then I'll take people to the new world right away." Diarmuid nodded, and without saying anything more to Marshal Zhan Guo, he turned around and prepared to go out to get people.

Marshal Zhan Guo was just about to continue processing his documents when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Wait, Diarmuid!"

Diarmait paused for a moment as he pushed the door open, then looked at Marshal Zhan Guo with some confusion and asked, "What else?"

"Who are you going to take with you?" asked Marshal Zhan Guo.

“Is there any need to ask? Sakaski, Borsalino, Gion, Kuzan, Vice Admiral Garp, that guy Kake is also OK…” Diarmait opened his mouth and spit out a string of names without hesitation.

Marshal Zhan Guo was overwhelmed and immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible!"

“Why?” Diarmait asked in surprise.

"You just need to show the navy's support for Smoker. How can you go all out like that? If you go in with your formation, you will be able to kill three-quarters of them if you catch them. Too much is as bad as too little. Whitebeard is not a fool. He will definitely see something. He may even turn against you in advance and cooperate with Kaido and others to block you in the New World. Anyway, this won't work!" Marshal Sengoku waved his hand.

After a brief pause, he continued, "You only need to pick two people to take with you. Including the three of you, it's enough to calm the situation, and we have enough room to advance and retreat..." "Are you so stingy?" Diarmait complained.

Marshal Zhan Guo glared at Diarmuid, then said, "Both Borsalino and Sakaski are generals. It's inappropriate for you three generals to go out together, so forget about them. They also have their own things to do..."

"I've already talked to Sakaski, and he's happy to help," Diarmuid added.

"I'll tell him, it's not possible anyway." Marshal Zhan Guo said without giving in.

As for Borsalino, forget it. That old fox would definitely listen to the marshal, so Diarmait didn't mention him again.
