From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Tina quickly spread a large pile of various fruits on the table, with anticipation in her eyes.

Diarmuid's hand, stained with blood and a dark aura, was taken out from Crocodile's heart. His palm was clenched tightly, as if he was holding something invisible.

Then he moved his arm across the fruits on the table, and as he brushed past an orange, the invisible power in his hand seemed to throb.

Diarmait's eyes lit up, and then he stuffed that power into the orange.

Just like that, under the incredible gaze of everyone, an originally very ordinary kumquat gradually grew a strange devil fruit pattern... After three or five breaths, it completely turned into a devil fruit!

"This is... the Nature-type. Sand-Sand Fruit!?" Jinbei said in surprise as he looked at the scene.

"That's right, as expected, the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit can take away the abilities of others. It truly deserves to be the most sinister ability in history..." Diarmuid grabbed the Sand-Sand Fruit, took a look at it, and said with deep emotion.

Chapter 378: Harvesting an Ancient Weapon! ?

Doflamingo and the others also expressed their feelings.

Then he looked at Diarmait and said, "It's almost time to go back. Take some time to go to Impelton..."

Tina asked in confusion, "What are you going to do in Impeldown? Crocodile is dead, you don't want to lock his body in there..."

But when she said this, Tina was stunned and looked at Diarmait in surprise.

Doflamingo was also looking at Diarmait with a surprised look.

"Are you planning to take action against those prisoners?" Tina asked.

Diarmait nodded as if it was natural. "Why are they imprisoned in Impeldown? These are valuable individuals. They weren't able to realize their potential before, but now that I'm here, shouldn't we let them contribute more to the Navy? Then we'll go to Impeldown, send him some fruit, and then we'll kill them all one by one and take away their abilities."

Whether it is Jinbe, Hancock, or even Doflamingo, they actually don’t have much contact with Diarmait. If you say they understand Diarmait, it really can’t be said that they know him very well.

Only Tina basically followed Diarmait day and night, and was very familiar with Diarmait.

Listening to Diarmait's words at this time, she felt a little strange. It seemed that her general seemed to have become even more evil?

Look at those words just now. ...Damn?

Is this what the Admiral would say?

Fortunately, although Diarmait was indeed affected by some of the Dark-Dark Fruit, he did not fall into darkness.

And this influence is actually not a big deal. It is similar to Kuzan's laziness. There may be some changes in daily life, but in essence, there will not be much change.

Not long after Doflamingo and others left with Crocodile's body, Spandine came in again.

This guy had a gloomy face. When he saw Diarmait, he ran up to him and asked, "General, how am I going to explain this to Mary Geoise?"

"How do you explain it?" Diarmait asked curiously.

"Just now you said that you wanted to put the blame on Crocodile. What should we do?" Spandine asked again.

"Isn't this your specialty?" Diarmait asked in surprise.

Do you, Spandine, need any advice on how to shift the blame?

After asking this, Diarmait seemed to understand something when he saw Spandane looking a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "You guys, just say whatever you want. Don't worry about us..."

It is obvious that Spandine is a first-class person at shifting the blame, but now both the navy and Diarmait are more or less involved in the affairs of Alabasta.

He was also afraid that in the process of passing the buck, he would delay Diarmait's arrangements, so he planned to communicate with Diarmait first before passing the buck.

"Then General, shall I contact those five adults now?" Spandine said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll listen too." Diarmuid sat on the sofa and then had no intention of speaking again.

Spandine quickly contacted the Five Elders and others.

On the Den Den Mushi side, the Five Elders asked directly, "What happened to Alba? How did it become like this?"

Spandine quickly explained, "My Lords, everything was going according to plan. Even the Song Army couldn't stop us. But that bastard Crocodile was the first to betray us. He used poison gas and destroyed all of Albana..."

After talking for a long time, the Five Elders on the Den Den Mushi side keenly grasped a question and asked: "You mean, Cobra's daughter was not caught?" "She was originally caught, but Crocodile secretly sent people to snatch her away..." said Spandine.

This is not nonsense, after all, he was really caught by Crocodile's men.

Even now, I don't know whether he is alive or dead...

There was silence on the Den Den Mushi side for a long time, which made Spandine a little frightened.

Finally, the Five Elders spoke and said, "Forget it, as long as we can catch Cobra, we must make sure to send him back to Mary Geoise safely. If anything unexpected happens, you don't have to come back, understand?" "Yes, I promise to send Cobra to Mary Geoise personally, there will be no problem!" Spandine said quickly.

Then, after skipping over this topic, the Five Elders asked, "How do you plan to resolve the current situation in Albana and Alabasta?"

Originally, the Five Elders were planning to hand over Alabasta to Crocodile temporarily for a period of time as a transition. Once they had finished dealing with the things in their hands, they would be ready to deal with Crocodile.

As luck would have it, Crocodile got involved with the traitor of the Naval Scientific Corps, M. Caesar Courant.

Gas bombs of mass destruction were also used in Albania.

Intended to poison all the people in Albana.

This is intolerable. Crocodile, who did this, is committing the deliberate murder of millions of lives.

What's more, Marijoa had just endorsed Crocodile not long ago. If Crocodile succeeded, it would be equivalent to Marijoa maliciously poisoning all the lives in Albana.

The Five Elders don't want to take the blame for this.

Crocodile happened to be on vacation in Albana, and Diarmuid accepted the request for assistance from Vice Admiral Dalmatian Dalmesia of the Marine Headquarters...

As an admiral of the navy, in that situation, he took immediate action to save the situation and killed Crocodile in one breath... Isn't this a very normal thing to do?

Diarmuid's character among the Five Elders was that of a very tough person, so this kind of thing was not surprising to him.

Moreover, it seems to me that the navy, led by Diarmait, has a very bad attitude towards the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Especially a guy like Crocodile who doesn't do anything.

Now that they have the opportunity to act legitimately, it would be strange if they don’t beat Crocodile to death!

After all, he had killed Crocodile, so he had nowhere to go to seek justice! ?

Therefore, the Five Elders were not unable to accept the fact that Crocodile was beaten to death by Diarmait in Albana, and even thought it was normal.

As for the coincidence that Diarmait was on vacation in Albana, there were traces of that and he had reported it, so there was nothing much to say.

At the same time, the Navy's actions helped Mary Geoise restore some of its reputation. Crocodile's death could be considered as his own fault. We discovered this guy's evil intentions in time and quickly resolved the problem.

Isn't this much better than Marijoa supporting Crocodile's use of large-scale lethal poison gas bombs?

The only thing that makes Marijoa's side a little embarrassed is that Crocodile is dead, and they can't find any agent to help govern Alabasta and make up for the transition period.

After all, the Nefertari clan is also defined as an evil royal family, intending to destroy Alabasta.

We can't just let Cobra go now and let him go back to being king, right?

And Crocodile is dead now, so we can't let the people of the Song Army inherit Alabasta, right?

"Ah, this..." Spandine was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

He hadn't considered what would happen after Alabasta. He was just here to arrest people, so why would he be responsible for reconstruction? That's not his specialty.

As if sensing Spandine's embarrassment, the Five Elders also felt a bit guilty. Had they lost their minds? They actually asked Spandine such a stupid question.

After a brief pause, the Five Elders said, "Alright, send Cobra back to Mary Geoise as soon as possible. We will take care of the affairs in Alabasta ourselves."

"Yes, five lords!" Spandane finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look, isn't it done?" Diarmuid said after seeing Spandine hang up the Den Den Mushi.

Spandine breathed a sigh of relief, then said helplessly, "Although I won't be punished, my credit will definitely be lost. It was a wasted trip..."

“Hahahaha, being able to do something like this to this extent is already very impressive, Spandine. You have at least proved your ability… The Five Elders may not reward you with anything, but you must have gained points in their hearts, otherwise they would not have had this attitude just now.” Diarmait said with a big laugh.

Spandine thought about it and nodded. "That's right, at least there is some gain..."

"How's the investigation going on with the Hades incident?" Diarmuid asked again.

"There's no result, and based on Miss Robin's description, it seems that Pluto really only has that weapon left..." Spandine said again.

Diarmait thought for a moment, then said, "Let this matter end here, Spandain. You must keep the matter concerning Hades to yourself and tell no one."

"Yes, General, don't worry!" Spanda replied. After a brief pause, he continued, "Well, we did find the blueprints of Pluto before, but General, you told me not to look any further. Are you interested in Pluto now? Then shall we go to the Seven Waters City and get it done for you?"

“No need…” Diarmait waved his hand.

After thinking about it carefully, forget it. Pluto should not appear in this world.

As for the "wreckage" found by Crocodile, it has now been received into the darkness by Diarmuid.

That's right, during this period of time, Diarmait has made some progress in the development of the Dark-Dark Fruit. For example, he has now developed a dark space with almost no upper limit.

It can help him store a lot of things, and it is also an absolutely private place.

Pluto's cannon is inside.

The principle is very simple. It is no different from darkness absorbing all matter. After absorbing it, Diarmait does not further compress or crush these substances.

It is kept in its original form in there, and he can take it out and use it whenever he needs it.

To put it simply, Diarmait is now a man running around carrying the Pluto cannon.

It can be considered as having another trump card or something?

After seeing Spandine off, Diarmuid walked into the inner room (Zhao's), where Tina was chatting with Robin.

It seems that Robin is not in a good mental state.

As soon as he saw Diarmait, Robin asked, "General, can I be promoted to lieutenant general for my contribution?" Diarmait's face twitched slightly. You guy really fell into the eyes of credit.

Originally, Robin took over Crocodile's mission from the Intelligence Department. Later, she knew more and more, and thought that she would get great credit after everything was over.

As a result, the entire Alabasta incident, in the end, had little to do with the Navy. The only useful thing was capturing that bastard Caesar.

The entire navy had no interest in Crocodile, the Song Army, or Nefertari. They had not even participated in a war involving millions of people. Only their own admiral made a brief appearance at the end.

Judging from the results, there is no contribution or merit to the navy, right?

Therefore, Robin was very depressed. Then why have I been in Alabasta for so many years?

To get a healthy tan?

Are you sick?

"Ahem..." Diarmait smiled awkwardly, but Robin was his direct descendant after all, or in other words, Gion's direct descendant, so he couldn't cheat her. Besides, she had been working diligently as an intelligence agent and undercover agent in Alabasta for so many years...

"I'll go back and help you run the operation." Diarmait could only smile and tease.
