From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Listening to Tina's comments, Vergo smiled and said, "The Giant Pirates, a hundred years ago, once roamed the seas. The Blue Oni, Touri, and Red Oni, Broki, were all big figures a hundred years ago. Sauro was only in his forties a hundred years ago. According to the standards of the Giants, he wouldn't even be qualified to join the Giant Pirates. Of course, he can't compare."

It was obvious that this trip had resolved the minor grudge between Virgo and Tina.

In addition, without the burden of their identities, both Virgo and Tina were less hypocritical and burdened, and more sincere when they became friends again this time.

"That's true." Tina nodded, then turned to look at Diarmait who was fishing and shouted, "General, do we really not need to arrest them? Technically speaking, they are also criminals."

"That happened over a hundred years ago, and we've had seven or eight marshals. Why should I care about this? I came to the small garden just to see if I could catch some ancient fish to enrich my sea fishing collection. I have no intention of having any conflict with these two giants. Just treat them as actors in a stage play and let them perform for us!" Diarmait said nonchalantly.

“Why don’t you look back?” Tina glanced at Diarmait who had his back to the volcano and complained.

"Don't disturb me fishing." Diarmait said without turning his head.

Diarmuid really had no intention of capturing Donli and Broki. There was absolutely no need to do that. These two guys would probably fight here until the end of time. So let them fight. Why bother interfering?

Moreover, the Giant Pirates have long been dead in name only.

If nothing unexpected happens, the original story would have seen it reorganized by a giant under the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, but now, it is probably impossible.

"Speaking of the giants, Sauro was promoted to lieutenant general by the marshal not long ago." Tina suddenly said again.

"Well, I transferred him to be the commander of the giant army. After more than ten years of hard work, this guy can be considered to have been reinstated." Diarmait said with a smile.

Of course, there are still some changes, for example, Sauro is now considered a member of the Diarmuid faction.

The navy's giant troops naturally follow Diarmuid's lead.

Looking at the current Naval Headquarters, Marshal Sengoku is aloof from the world.

Then, Diarmait's power was the greatest, but also the softest.

At the same time, the only one in the headquarters who could compete with Diarmuid was Sakaski's hawkish navy.

Even Borsalino's neutral faction could no longer compare to Diarmuid's faction.

As for the dovish navy, it has long been dead in name only.

The reason why the Hawkish Navy was able to compete with the Diarmuid faction was not because of how much power they had, but simply because each of them was determined to follow the Hawkish path.

But in essence, there are no fundamental contradictions or conflicts between the two sides, and the relationship between faction leader Diarmuid and Sakaski is also very good.

Therefore, there has not been any fierce factional struggle in the Navy Headquarters for many years.

Currently, the only point of contention between Sakaski and Diarmuid is the position of the next Grand Admiral.

But both sides are decent people, and this struggle is a reasonable struggle based on the rules. It will not evolve into an uncontrollable situation. It is even less likely to be like the struggle between doves and hawks in the original story, which would result in the crippling of a general.

Don’t you see that Diarmait now has an absolute advantage, but Sakaski simply refuses to give up and doesn’t do any fancy tricks?

BLU BRU BLU…

Just as Diarmait was concentrating on fishing, the Den Den Mushi at his feet rang.

Diarmait turned his head and looked at him with a surprised expression.

Because this was someone who hadn't contacted him in several years. Diarmait smiled, picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Hello?"

There was silence on the Den Den Mushi side for a while before cautiously asking, "General?"

"Let me listen to who this familiar yet unfamiliar voice is. Ah, I remember now. Isn't this our rebellious, thoughtful, and secretive Naval Intelligence agent, Miss Nicole Robin?" Diarmait teased with a smile.

That’s right, this Den Den Mushi was called by Robin.

Robin on Den Den Mushi heard Diarmait's teasing and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you, General."

"Hahaha..." Diarmait laughed, then said calmly: "It's nothing. Everyone has their own choices. You are just my subordinates, not my slaves. How are you? Are you living well in Alabasta?"

"You've gotten much darker." Robin said with a smile.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed.

(bccj) In my impression, in the original story, when Robin walked out of Alabasta, she looked like a dark beauty.

However, in this world, Robin had spent his entire life in the navy, so in Diarmait's impression, Robin's skin had always been very fair. Now, when he suddenly heard Robin making fun of himself like this, he just found it a little funny.

Before Diarmait could even begin to speak, Robin said, somewhat in a way that seemed to be taking credit for the situation: "I am now Crocodile's deputy, and probably his most trusted right-hand man."

"Crocodile will never trust anyone again." Diarmuid said so.

Robin was silent for a moment on the Den Den Mushi side, then said, "Admiral, have you always been so accurate in judging people?"

"I am Diarmait." Diarmait said with a smile.

"Okay, that's right. Although I am obviously the most trusted one compared to his other subordinates, I can also feel that Crocodile is wary of me. He is unwilling to let me arrange many confidential matters." Robin complained.

"That's really hard for you," Diarmait said perfunctorily, then asked curiously, "I heard that Alabasta has been very strange lately? Has Crocodile caused a lot of trouble?"

Diarmait was not at the Marine Headquarters. He was on vacation, so he didn't know much about what was happening in Alabasta. He only heard a few words when he occasionally talked to Gion on Den Den Mushi.

"It's very strange, but it's not just Crocodile. The people from the Song Army have already started to enter. According to our intelligence, Monkey D. Dragon is currently in Alabasta, most likely in the capital Albana." Robin said softly.

This kind of confidential information might not be shared with ordinary people if asked, but as Diarmait is the admiral of the navy, he does not have to worry about it.

"Dragu?" Diarmait murmured, then said, "That guy has set his sights on Alabasta after all."

A few years ago, the Naval Headquarters made such a prediction, believing that the Song Army was likely to cause trouble in Alabasta.

At that time, Crocodile had just started his career in Alabasta.

At the beginning, the Navy's attitude was that they were unwilling to let Alabasta fall into the hands of the Song Army.

Because Alabasta has strong resources and military power, once it falls into the hands of the Song Army, it will inevitably cause great trouble, making it inconvenient for the navy to control the power of the Song Army.

So if Dorag had taken action at the time, Diarmuid and other members of the navy would have definitely found a way to mess it up for him.

But now, in three to five years, Marshal Zhan Guo will be ready to set up his own business, and the navy will no longer have to worry about anyone or anything.

So even if Dragon can take control of Alabasta now, it will take him three to five years to restore order in Alabasta. After all, it is a superpower.

And by the time Dragon takes over Alabasta, the threat he poses will no longer be enough to shake the navy.

So after hearing the news, Diarmait was still not too moved.

"Is Crocodile going to fight against the Song Army?" Diarmait asked.

"Looking at the situation, this should be the direction, but I just received some news that it seems that people from the CP agency are also involved." Robin said helplessly.

The more 'insiders' that get involved here, the less credit she will get.

"Hahahaha, after all, CP probably doesn't know about the actions of the Navy. Dragon's Song Army made a fuss in Alabasta, so it's normal for these people to go there." Diarmait laughed.

After laughing, he asked Den Den Mushi, "So, Robin, you called Den Den Mushi this time, didn't you just want to reminisce with me?"

Den Den Mushi was silent for a while, then Robin said, "Alabasta is no longer safe, and Crocodile is likely to be defeated. If I were to rely on myself... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle the situation that's coming.

"So you want me to give you some support?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

"Well, you don't have to be that great. It's enough for you to help me hold the scene." Robin said a little embarrassedly.

Diarmait smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'll think about it."

"It's a great contribution!" Robin added.

"You big ass, you're the only one who keeps falling for the credit," Diarmait complained, and then, without waiting for Robin to speak, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.

I have something urgent to do today, so I'd like to take a day off.

I'm so sorry, I should be able to resume five updates in a couple of days. Thank you all for your continued support!

Chapter 336 Spandine: If you want to blame someone, blame me for being too outstanding.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Diarmait thought for a moment.

Then he turned to look at Tina and Virgo and greeted them, "Hey, you two..."

Upon hearing this, Tina and Vergo looked at Diarmait and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't waste time, pack up, let's eat this triceratops and then go to Alabasta." Diarmait ordered.

Vergo didn't have any objection. Now he basically regarded Diarmait as his real leader. After all, his young master was obviously determined to follow Diarmait.

Therefore, his position is very clear. I will do whatever the general tells me to do, without any nonsense.

Tina asked curiously, "Admiral, why are you going to Alabasta? Isn't that place very chaotic right now?"

Diarmait smiled and said, "It's the oldest country in human history, a country with thousands of years of history, known as the cradle of human civilization. Let's go and see it, and let ourselves be influenced by its profound culture. By the way... let's watch a show. It seems like something interesting is about to begin over there."

"What's the show?" Tina asked with great interest.

She had been with Diarmait for so many years, and everything had gone smoothly for her. Therefore, she had a tendency to enjoy watching the fun, and when she heard there was something interesting to watch, she immediately became interested.

"The chaos in Alabasta is about to reach a climax. I think that fellow Dragon is going to suffer. It's time to go and see him suffer." Diarmait laughed.

Diarmait was discussing with Tina and Vergo about going to Alabasta to watch a show.

On the other side, in another port city of Alabasta, Aluma.

Aluma is located in the lower reaches of the Santo River, the largest inland river in Alabasta. Originally, due to the abuse of dancing powder, there was no rain in Alabasta for several years, causing the Santo River to gradually dry up. Aluma was also greatly affected and slowly became depressed.

But now, Eluma can still hold on, and there are ships coming in and out of the port, as numerous as stars.

At this time, at the port dock, several mysterious figures walked down from a merchant ship. The leader was wearing a black cloak and a gray-white suit. He looked a little thin, but his eyes were very shrewd.

Behind him followed several subordinates with serious expressions and wearing black suits, who looked like they were not easy to mess with.

Fortunately, this port is a mixed crowd with all kinds of people, so they don’t seem strange.

"It's so hot in this damn place, bring me a bottle of water..." The leading man said uncomfortably as he was baked by the scorching air as soon as he got off the boat.

Soon, one of his subordinates behind him handed him a bottle of water.

At the same time, the guy also asked, "Lord Spandine, whether it's Crocodile or the Songming Army, they are not people to be trifled with. Do we really want to wade into this mess?"

That’s right, the one who landed at the port of Eluma at this time was the commander of CP-9, Spandine.

The person he was talking to was Foz F, who had met Diarmait once before and was now valued more by Spandane and was being brought under his wing for careful training.

If someone else had asked, Spandine would have slapped him in the face. Could anyone ask such a thing? Being an agent meant just being obedient.

But Foz.F was different to Spandine after all. So after drinking some water to dispel the heat, Spandine waved his hand unhappily and said, "You think I want to come? Over the years, any mission involving our CP and the Song Army has always gone wrong nine out of ten. Crocodile is not an easy person to deal with. If it is not necessary, I certainly don't want to show up in this damn place called Alabasta..."

Due to the strategic partnership between Dorag, Diarmait and Queen Stussy, he is always able to obtain first-hand intelligence within the CP agency. The Queen also often uses Dorag to deal with colleagues who have a grudge against her.

Now Her Majesty the Queen is one of the great commanders of CP-0. As long as there is anyone who is not in line with her, it is very easy for Her Majesty the Queen to deal with that person. She will assign him a task to deal with the Songming Army, and then sell him to Dorag. Dorag will help Her Majesty the Queen to deal with that person.

Everything seems reasonable.
