From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

He's on vacation, so these things at headquarters can't be left unattended, right?

Therefore, Marshal Zhan Guo took all these matters into his own hands, and he was currently reading the relevant information.

The more he looked, the more satisfied the Warring States Marshal became.

Ever since that day in Mary Geoise, when Marshal Sengoku was completely disappointed with the Five Elders and others, and returned to headquarters, many of his operational plans have changed.

But few people can feel it now. Even if they do, they just think that he has become a little radical, that's all.

But in fact, people like Diarmait who know the basics can discover it.

If we say that the Warring States Marshal also had "ideals and ambitions" before, and was indeed moving towards that step.

But the overall feeling is that he is being pushed forward step by step by the general trend of the navy, the interests of the navy, and the morale of the navy. He has more or less made other preparations to see if there can be another change in the end.

But now, after the Marshal came back, he canceled all the plans and arrangements that were originally used for preparation, groundwork and even as a fallback.

He also quickly did some "irreversible" things, as if he had cut off all his retreat and room for maneuver.

For example, this time the scientific team was assigned to the doldrums.

In fact, it is not very far from the G-7.

Due to the particularity and complexity of the scientific forces, it is obvious that the CP agency and Mary Geoise's people may discover the situation of the doldrums and the navy at any time.

Even though Queen Stussy is backing this up, the risks are undoubtedly there.

This is equivalent to the Warring States Marshal handing over his "handle" so that he no longer has to hesitate!

Of course, this style also seems a bit "arrogant".

When comparing the final total expenditure and income, Marshal Zhan Guo's gaze narrowed slightly and he put down the teacup in his hand.

What surprised Marshal Zhan Guo was that this quarter's revenue and expenditure were basically equal!

In other words, the navy no longer needs Mary Geoise's military funds and can support itself?

What's more, the navy now has a large amount of savings. These are the military funds collected from Mary Geoise over the years, but they have never been spent. If they live frugally, the "military funds" on hand are enough to support the navy for more than two years.

Judging from the navy's current income and expenditure, and considering the accumulated funds, there is no doubt that Marineford can break away from Mary Geoise at any time!

This is actually faster than Marshal Zhan Guo had expected.

He originally expected that it would take at least one or two years for the Golden City to open before he could reach this stage.

Now it seems that the hidden benefits brought by Smoker becoming one of the Four Emperors are far greater than he imagined?

In other words, the feedback brought by the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization as a whole has become even greater.

"The time has come...but how can I..." Marshal Zhan Guo was thinking about these trivial questions in his mind.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of his office. However, before Marshal Zhan Guo could say anything in response, the door was pushed open.

Marshal Zhan Guo was surprised, then annoyed. Who was so unruly? Was it that bastard Garp?

Thinking that it was Garp...he had no other choice. That bastard had been acting unruly for many years and no one could discipline him.

But the next moment, Marshal Zhan Guo's anger dissipated. Instead, he looked at the door in surprise, and then asked with a hint of joy: "Diarmait? You're back?"

"Hahahahahahaha, are you surprised? Are you unexpected?" Diarmait said to Marshal Warring States with a big laugh.

Marshal Sengoku's expression, which originally contained a hint of surprise, had now subsided. He regained his composure and nodded to Diarmait. "I thought you would be cleaning up the mess in Alabasta."

Diarmait walked over to the sofa and sat down, shaking his head. "The chaos in Alabasta is simply impossible to clean up. Our navy has no right to intervene. We are very kind to leave Dalmatian there to maintain order and prevent the chaos from escalating. What will happen in the end depends on their own ability."

Marshal Sengoku was just saying this casually. He didn't dwell on the matter of Alabasta any further. Instead, he asked Diarmait, "I heard from Gion earlier that you've made some 'qualitative breakthrough' in your strength. Did you gain much from this trip?"

Diarmait nodded when he heard this, and was just about to brag that he had mastered the art of martial arts and was invincible, becoming the strongest dual-fruit ability user in history, and that if there was anything difficult, just leave it to him...

But before he could even open his mouth, Marshal Zhan Guo seemed to have thought of something important again. He threw the document in his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Take a look at this."

He interrupted Diarmait's words of boasting.

This made Diarmait very uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to pick up the document and take a look at it.

Although he had not been in charge of the affairs before and was mainly responsible for the so-called "general direction", Diarmait was not really unaware of the information in these documents.

He was even more professional than Marshal Zhan Guo. It only took Diarmuid three to five minutes to understand the document.

Then, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he said, "Isn't this done?"

"What's done?" Marshal Zhan Guo asked after a moment of hesitation.

"The time is ripe. We can make any choice at any time." Diarmait said in a deep voice.

Marshal Zhan Guo nodded and said, "Indeed, judging from the income and expenditure, we do have the conditions for independence. We have finally broken free from the biggest shackles, thanks to your hard work over the years..."

Diarmait waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts."

After a brief pause, Diarmait continued without waiting for Marshal Zhan Guo to speak, "Our navy is, after all, a just organization, and has been with Mary Geoise for centuries. Although there are now disagreements and we've embarked on this path... we must separate, but how and why we do so requires careful consideration. We can't be too rude. I believe we should at least be in the right. Marshal, please don't be too impatient..."

Marshal Zhan Guo glared at Diarmait. He was worried that Diarmait was too impatient, but he didn't expect that this guy would try to persuade him instead?

However, Diarmuid's words still made sense, and Marshal Warring States also thought so.

Although it sounds extremely hypocritical, even though the actual choice has already been made, they still have to do a face-saving project or something.

It's really like 'after becoming that person, you still want to put up a memorial archway for yourself'.

But in fact, whether it is hypocrisy or something else, it really requires such a process and such face.

Throughout history, across the world, if you do something, especially something this important, without a proper reason, a legitimate stance, or a sense of justice, it's more or less inappropriate. ... Please give me flowers.

Again, don't worry about what those who know the truth and the actual situation will think in the end.

Anyway, when you do these things, you still have to occupy the moral high ground...

Marshal Zhan Guo thought for a moment before asking Diarmait, "What do you think we should do?"

Diarmait was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't really thought about this yet. It's mainly because it's a bit fast. I thought it would take some time to get to this point..." Marshal Zhan Guo also nodded and said, "Yes, it is a bit fast, so fast that we are a little surprised ourselves, hahahaha." Although the steps were disrupted, it was still a good thing after all. Diarmait also laughed.

"Forget it. I'll think about this matter carefully and see if I can find a suitable entry point." Marshal Zhan Guo waved his hand and stopped discussing this matter with Diarmait.

Diarmait then asked, "Marshal, you've been acting a bit arrogant lately, haven't you? Your attitude has clearly changed. What's going on? I've been away for a while, and Mary Joa has broken your heart?" Hearing Diarmait's teasing question, Marshal Zhan Guo glared at him, then said with a hint of melancholy and relief, "There is no construction without destruction, no construction without destruction..."

...00 After a brief pause, Marshal Zhan Guo continued, "I can see that the ship Mary Geoise is bound to sink sooner or later. The helmsman is a good helmsman, but the ship is already half rotten. No matter how skilled the helmsman is, he can't save it. What's more... the helmsman is not as good as we imagined. Instead of doing that, it's better to make up your mind as soon as possible and forcibly dismantle the ship. Maybe you can save some good wood and build a new boat. Even if it's small, it can still save people!"

"Alas..." Diarmait sighed and shook his head, but did not ask any more questions.

Originally, he was still a bit gossipy, but seeing the Marshal's expression, Diarmait was too lazy to ask.

Marshal Zhan Guo did not seem to want to be sad here. Seeing that Diarmait did not continue to dig deeper, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, what did you say just now? A qualitative breakthrough in strength?" "If you were to talk about this, I wouldn't be sleepy anymore!" Diarmait said excitedly.

He was very enthusiastic about this bragging.

He immediately picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. Then he said, "I, Diarmait, tell you clearly that I have achieved great mastery and am invincible. Now I call myself the 'strongest in the world'. Who dares to disobey me?" Marshal Zhan Guo looked at Diarmait in surprise and said, "I thought you thought you were the strongest in the world after defeating Newgate..."

"That's not the case. There is a difference between the strongest. Even Whitebeard's strongest back then couldn't truly dominate the New World. But now, I, the so-called strongest, may be able to defeat them all together." Diarmait said confidently.

"Who is joining forces with whom?" Marshal Zhan Guo asked with a hint of curiosity in his heart.

"Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte, and Linlin." Diarmait said with a grin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Marshal Zhan Guo asked in shock: "Are you sure you are not talking in your sleep?" "I have to be at least 70% sure?" Diarmuid touched his chin.

With the power of his Dark-Dark Fruit, in the first fight, before the information is leaked, he can unexpectedly kill Whitebeard, Charlotte, and Linlin instantly, which should still have a high success rate.

Therefore, Diarmait is really a bit "inflated" now.

"What breakthrough have you made? How dare you make such a boast?" Marshal Zhan Guo was really interested this time and asked curiously.

"Nothing, I became a dual fruit ability user..." Diarmuid said pretending to be unusually calm.

Warring States Marshal? ? ? Double what? Earth

Chapter 381 Are all pirates nowadays so brave?

"Double Fruit?" Marshal Sengoku looked at Diarmuid with a bit of confusion, "Are you drunk?"

Although we had received some intelligence from Alabasta before, saying that Diarmait had used some dark power or something.

But Marshal Zhan Guo really didn't think much about it, he just thought that Diarmait had made some new developments in his abilities.

After all, his gravity fruit had been messed up by Diarmuid.

Things like darkness and devouring are more or less similar. Marshal Zhan Guo even thought it was a further step of "Infinite True Devouring".

As a result, Diarmuid came up and said that he had become a dual fruit ability user?

"Yes, it was a coincidence that I ate the natural Dark-Dark Fruit..." Diarmait nodded seriously.

Marshal Sengoku was the one who was better informed. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it the Dark Dark Fruit that caused the incident in the New World? The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates also died there?" "Yes, that's it. By the way, I also captured Teach from the Whitebeard Pirates." Diarmait said with a smile.

Marshal Sengoku had never heard of Teach before, but after something happened to Thatch, he knew a little about him. After all, it was Teach who was sent by the Whitebeard Pirates to track down the murderer.

What a result, not only was the murderer not caught, but a son was also lost?

Newgate has been extremely unlucky in the past two years. Nothing goes well for him.

However, at this time, the Whitebeard "Seven Zero" Pirates either did not receive the news or did not know what was going on. In any case, Teach had been missing for some time, and Newgate had not made any noise.

The last news he got was that Teach had gone to Alabasta with Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai.

Then Alabasta became a mess, and Doflamingo was obviously involved in other things and no longer cared about the Dark-Dark Fruit.

With the chaos in Alabasta, it would be really hard to find Teach if he disappeared in Alabasta, especially since the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence capabilities have never been very good... Of course, Newgate didn't suspect Doflamingo of anything.

After all, he knew something about the cause and effect of this matter. He got involved because he knew that Doflamingo had his Dark-Dark Fruit stolen.

From Doflamingo's point of view, there was no need for him to plot against Teach. Later, he was called up to participate in the war, so he probably had nothing to do with it.

At the same time, it was even less likely that Newgate would think of what happened to the navy.

Now, he just wondered whether Teach had discovered something in Alabasta, or was involved in some trouble, and then, some accident happened because of it?

In short, he was not clear about the current situation and was just secretly looking for news about Teach.

Therefore, the Whitebeard Pirates did not make any big moves.

Anyway, the Whitebeard Pirates didn't make any moves, and Marshal Sengoku didn't think about it. As a result, he only found out now that Diarmait had secretly captured the other party's son.

He also got the Dark Fruit. If you say he didn't arrange anything here, Zhan Guo would never believe it even if you kill him.

However, Marshal Zhan Guo still had great trust in Diarmait, especially Diarmait's ability to get things done and his reliability in handling problems, so he did not ask too much about these things, but continued to inquire about the matter of the double fruit.

"How did you eat the Dark-Dark Fruit? This... This is too unbelievable, right? Or have you discovered some new progress about the secret of the Devil Fruit?" Marshal Sengoku asked curiously.

The research on devil fruits has never stopped for thousands of years, and scholars from all walks of life have been pondering it.
