From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

friend?

What friend of mine?

"Who is it?" Diarmait asked after thinking for a moment.

Smoker hesitated for a moment, then said, "One is called Fujitora Issho, and the other is called Sphinx. ... Admiral, don't you recognize them?"

At the beginning, those two guys came directly to him and said that Diarmait arranged for them to join the Golden City or something. Smoker could also see that both of them were powerful characters, especially the guy named Fujitora Issho.

Furthermore, they directly mentioned Diarmait's name, which proved that they must know a lot about the matter behind it, so Smoker couldn't doubt anything...

There was no need to doubt anything, because this kind of lie was too easy to expose. He only needed to contact Diarmait to confirm it. In short, Smoker believed it at the time and did not go to Diarmait to verify anything. He arranged for them to go to the Golden City.

Now, from what the general said, doesn't he recognize them?

Had I been tricked? Using this simplest, and therefore most practical, scam?

Diarmuid finally reacted after hearing Fujitora's smile and the name of Sphinx. He quickly said, "Ah, it's them. Yes, yes, yes. I've been busy with so many things lately that I almost forgot about them..."

As for why the two of them were muttering about him, Diarmait thought it was only the Sphinx who was muttering about him. The reason... maybe they wanted to visit Shiki's grave quickly?

Smoker finally breathed a sigh of relief that he had not been fooled.

"When will the Golden City open?" Diarmait asked.

"Everything is ready. We just need to pick an auspicious day. Will the general join in?" asked Smoker.

"Well, if it's arranged, send me the invitation and I will go there on behalf of the Navy Headquarters." Diarmuid said again.

Originally, there was nothing to do recently, and he had promised Queen Stussy that they would go together when they had time, so Diarmait had no intention of going back on his word.

In fact, Smoker mainly reported this matter to Diarmait, and there was nothing else to say.

Afterwards, Diarmait instructed Smoker not to be petty. He told Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte, and Linlin to give invitations to everyone they needed. He couldn't let things get too estranged because of the last war.

Smoker was also very willing to follow suit. He didn't intend to be petty, right?

This neutral zone is no joke.

Not to mention pirates, he was even planning to invite the Uta-mi Army to try.

Of course, whether these people come or not is not his business.

After hanging up the phone with Smoker, Diarmait thought for a moment and then called the Den Den Mushi again to Queen Stussy.

At the same time, I was sighing in my heart, alas, as soon as I return to Marineford, everything is a mess.

It’s not even the afternoon yet, and I’m already contacting so many people. It would be more fun to go out and travel.

The world is so big, we should go and see it everywhere. …

But the world is so big.

Diarmait thought of another thing in his mind. Ever since he ate the Dark-Dark Fruit and his strength had been further improved and reached the true peak, he always felt that his perception of the world had become more... clearer, or in other mysterious terms.

It's like seeing some truth, or reality...

But he couldn't express the meaning of that effect.

He didn't know what the situation was, but since it had no other impact, Diarmuid didn't care about it.

Just as Diarmait was thinking about these things, the lazy voice of the Queen came over after picking up the Den Den Mushi.

"General Diarmait? I didn't expect that a big shot like you would have time to contact me?" Queen Stusi said lazily.

But Diarmait always felt that the Queen might have some opinions about him.

"Ahem, I'm going to go out and play with you. I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen is interested?" Diarmait said pretentiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Her Majesty the Queen asked excitedly, "Really?"

But it was just one sentence. Before he could open his mouth, the Queen seemed to realize that he was too excited and changed her tone and asked, "Can you be so kind?"

"Hahahaha, didn't we agree to go to the Golden City together? How about it? Are you going?" Diarmait didn't keep the secret and asked quickly.

When Queen Stussy heard this, she said unhappily, "I knew it, it must be on the way, hum..."

Chapter 385: All parties gather in Golden City!

The beginning of the year 1516 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Golden City is about to hold its grand opening ceremony.

The entire Golden City is built on the backs of two huge island turtles. Due to the special nature of the island turtles and some special structures, the Golden City is not a fixed area, but can wander in various sea areas with the island turtles.

For this opening ceremony, Golden City will go to the New World Gateway Sea, which is only three days away from Mary Geoise.

There are actually several reasons why this is done.

First, it is obvious that the real big shots are generally in a relatively chaotic new world.

Second, Mary Geoise is about to hold a new World Conference, and this World Conference is particularly important because the previous one failed to take place. In total, this is the first World Conference in eight years.

Four years ago, Fisher Tiger burned Mary Geoise to the ground, so naturally there was no World Conference.

It was originally going to be postponed, but the reconstruction work was not completed until 1515. Therefore, in the end, there was no intention to hold the postponed conference, and it was decided to hold the two world conferences together.

And Mary Geoise was also generous. Perhaps it was because the situation had improved recently, which made them more confident, or perhaps it was because they had actually thwarted a major conspiracy of the Song Army in Alabasta, which made them feel a little proud.

In short, for this World Conference, Mary Geoise decided to mobilize one hundred members of the royal family to go to Mary Geoise to participate.

This can be considered as filling the gaps between the two terms.

As a result, all the big clients of Golden City, such as princes and nobles, had to rush to Mary Geoise for meetings.

Moreover, this kind of event can be said to be a rare event that only happens once in a hundred years, and all the royal families who are qualified to participate will not refuse to go.

Then Golden City’s big customers will definitely be affected.

But Gild Tesoro, the chief executive of the Golden City, was very clever and directly located the opening of the Golden City within a three-day sailing distance from Mary Geoise.

This way, there won't be any conflicts.

It's no wonder that once the Golden City was chosen as the opening location, many royal families from the member states of the New World rushed to the Golden City. One reason was to participate in the opening of the legendary most powerful entertainment city and neutral zone, and the other was to go directly from the Golden City to Mary Geoise for a meeting.

Eat, drink, have fun, and do business without delaying anything.

The third point is that if it is close to Mary Geoise, it will be convenient for the big guys from the Navy and World Zhengfu to come to Golden City to participate in the opening ceremony.

The island turtle of Golden City is quite huge and looks like a medium-sized island. At this time, in the sea area surrounding Golden City, it is almost visible to the naked eye that a large number of ships are heading towards Golden City as the center.

The same was true of Diarmait's warships.

While he was sleeping soundly, Diarmuid felt some movement around him.

When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw Queen Stussy getting dressed.

"What's wrong?" Diarmait asked confusedly.

He first went to Maria's Happy Island in the New World, and after meeting up with Stussy, he went from Maria's Happy Island to the Golden City. It can be said that he went around in a big circle. However, since he hadn't interacted with Queen Stussy for a long time, it was not a big deal. The relationship between the two became closer.

Nowadays, Queen Stussy has basically secured the position of 'Director General of the CP Agency' and is just waiting to take office when this World Conference begins.

In terms of pace, the Queen was one step ahead of Diarmait and reached the top of the CP agency.

Queen Stusi buttoned up her blouse, gave Diarmait a coquettish look, and said, "We'll be in the Golden City soon. Are you sure you want to show up with me, the Queen of Pleasure Street?" "Why not? I, Diarmait, am upright!" Diarmait said stubbornly.

"You are happy, but I am not. It will expose and affect my identity, right? I'm in the limelight recently, so the less trouble I can, the better." Queen Stussy said with disgust.

It was as if Diarmait was holding her back.

"Tsk tsk, does the strong woman dislike me?" Diarmait said with a hint of resentment.

The Queen put on her clothes, hugged Diarmait, kissed him and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a reward. It's really..."

After she finished speaking, Queen Stusi leisurely walked out of the house and said, "See you in the Golden City." Diarmait smacked his lips in savoring the words and nodded, "Okay."

Indeed, Stussy has been going through a relatively stressful period recently, so it would be better not to cause any trouble for her.

By the way, after she is officially promoted to the director general of CP, she will also have to let go of the affairs of Happy Street.

That's normal. There's no reason why the Queen would still hold on to Happy Street after becoming the head of the CP agency.

In the final analysis, Happy Street is just the capital used by Her Majesty the Queen to check and balance and fight for more power. Now, she is about to reach the top of the CP agency. When she reaches that position, it will be time to divide the cake. How can she still hold all of this tightly in her hands?

According to Her Majesty the Queen, this Happy Street will be handed over to Spandine to manage, and Spandine will also be transferred to CP-0 to serve as a senior operations commander.

The current assistant to the Queen, who is also one of her most trusted subordinates, will become the commander-in-chief of CP-0.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. If Her Majesty the Queen wants to take the position of Chief Minister, she will naturally have to replace the entire CP agency with her own people, at least in the key positions.

This is not a taboo and is a normal process operation. Therefore, the five people from Mary Geoise probably won't meddle in it.

After washing and packing up, Diarmait put on his standard clothes: a white short-sleeved shirt, military pants, high-top combat boots, a cloak of justice, and a cigar in his mouth, and staggered onto the deck.

Looking around, you can see that there are several warships escorting around. At the same time, outside the warship escort, you can see many ships flying the flag of Mary Geoise. Anyway, the nearby waters are very lively.

Even the pirate ships dared to appear carelessly within the fire coverage of the warships. However, according to the rules of the Golden City, the sea areas within a day's radius are all neutral zones. People are now opening for business, and no one is so blind as to cause trouble here.

Perhaps it was a provocation out of mischievous humor? In any case, Diarmait had already seen many pirate ships that normally wouldn't dare to cause trouble in front of the navy arrogantly circling the fleet.

"Tsk tsk, are they all here?" Diarmait said as he looked at the scene.

The flags of the Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates—all of them are there.

I just don't know about the three families' ⑨⑦

⑤⑥③

②④①O Captain, are you all here in person?

It’s really hard to say. If you ask whether they have a reason to come, the answer is definitely yes.

But there are also plenty of reasons not to come.

But generally speaking, Diarmuid thinks he will still come, right?

At this moment, Diarmait glanced at a large ship not far away. It looked extremely arrogant, and the flag seemed to be... ...Don Quixote Family?

"Is it a Celestial Dragon ship?" Diarmait asked.

Vergo on the side took a look, nodded, and said, "Yes, that is the family crest of the Don Quixote family in Mary Geoise."

Tina did not come with Diarmait this time. She said she wanted to wait for her sister Gion in Marineford. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.

But in reality, Diarmait did know something: Tina had already completely sided with Gion. She felt it was inappropriate for Diarmait to go out to see Queen Stussy, and since it wasn't a very important matter, Tina didn't come. She was helping Diarmait sort out some of the backlog of official business he had in Marineford. ... Requesting flowers.
