From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Don't you love killing prisoners? If you dare, commit suicide and let me see!

Chapter 396 History will repeat itself again and again, but humans cannot go back to the past.

Impelton is dark and gloomy, as it is located in the deep sea.

However, the cage in front of Diarmuid and his companions was brightly lit.

It is called a cage, but actually it can't really be called a cage. It is just a big, slightly weird house with an iron fence around it, which can be considered a barely confinement.

What's even more exaggerated is that the iron fence has no cap and only serves a symbolic purpose. If the people trapped inside really want to get out, it seems easy no matter how you look at it.

This place is exactly where Nicole Olbia is.

Diarmait had a look of surprise on his face. After all, this was his first time here and the first time he saw the place where Olbia was imprisoned. Although he had heard from Robin that Impelton took good care of her, he never expected that she was taken care of so well?

Robin, on the other hand, looked as if he was used to it.

She also knew that as long as she was alive and serving in the navy, her mother would never do anything embarrassing.

After all, in the first half of his life, Olbia lived for O'Hara and for history, and he had always treated Robin unfairly.

On the contrary, Robin has been working hard for Olbia over the past decade. No matter how stubborn Olbia is, she can't hold Robin back on this matter.

So even though this so-called "cage" is so simple, Olbia has never had the thought of escaping from it in more than ten years.

What's more, she has no fighting ability. Even if she really gets out of this "cage", can she still escape from the real Impelton on "July 13"?

"Mom!" Robin took off his sunglasses and shouted into the cage.

Not long after, a woman who looked quite graceful came out from inside. Her steps were hurried and she seemed to be in a hurry.

It was Olbia. More than ten years had passed, and Olbia still looked very beautiful. Similarly, in a place like Impelton, where she never saw the sun all year round, her skin was also unusually white.

Although she was imprisoned, she didn't suffer much. She was almost forty years old, but she looked like she was in her early thirties. When she saw Robin, her expression lit up, and with tears in her eyes she said, "Robin..."

Then, she seemed to notice something. Robin came wearing the navy's cloak of justice, and hanging on her shoulders were the epaulettes of a vice admiral of the navy headquarters.

This scene made Olbia feel bitter and sad.

There was nothing special about it. Even though Diarmait still suspected her of being stubborn, in reality, Olbia had already let go of her hatred for O'Hara.

The only thing we still hold in our hands is our persistence in history.

Diarmuid seemed to have recalled something.

"O'Hara, it's just to preserve the voice of the past." He forgot who said this. After all, so many years have passed, and he has already made up his mind about what O'Hara is right and wrong. He doesn't want to think about it anymore. Only this can be regarded as "O'Hara's original intention". This sentence made him feel deeply.

And Olbia's only obsession with O'Hara at this time is actually to preserve the voice of the past.

As for hatred, not to mention that she was powerless to change it, even seeing her daughter become the vice admiral of the navy, she couldn't say anything, and she didn't want to drag Robin into the vortex of hatred again.

The vortex of hatred is a terrifying place that can devour anyone.

Robin has worked hard enough for herself. I hope she can live for herself for the rest of her life!

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, but it didn't last very long, only three to five minutes. Olbia looked towards Diarmuid with a complicated look.

Back then, in order to save her, Sauro took her with him to defect to the Navy Headquarters. However, not long after they went to sea, they were captured by Diarmait. That was the first and only time she saw Diarmait.

It's hard to say that he was familiar with her. The only difference was that he often heard Diarmait's name from Robin.

But even if it was only one glance, Diarmait's face was still firmly imprinted in her mind.

Don't get me wrong, it's not some Stockholm syndrome or anything like that, I just want to remember this bastard.

More than ten years later, Olbia was somewhat surprised to find that Diarmuid, who was theoretically about the same age as himself, still looked as young as he did back then. He even grew a beard to make himself look more mature.

At first glance, he looks like a man in his twenties, energetic yet a bit mature and steady.

Olbia had secretly decided in his heart countless times that if he ever saw Diarmuid again, he would give him a good beating to avenge the past!

However, after actually seeing Diarmait, she felt complicated.

It was this man who caused him to be imprisoned for more than ten years, and it was this man who destroyed the entire O'Hara with his own hands.

But it happened that this man saved her only hope, her own daughter, Nicole Robin.

Despite all the grudges, this man still raised his daughter to adulthood and trained her to become an excellent navy officer. She even holds a high position now and has become a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Olbia naturally didn't know that Diarmait once had some affection and admiration for Robin based on the story of his previous life.

So in her opinion, Diarmait was a very complicated naval admiral. He was ruthless and unreasonable. He coldly carried out the demon-killing order and destroyed O'Hara.

But putting aside his position as a navy officer, judging solely on his human qualities, he has many shining points that can also touch me.

The words that should have been used to angrily criticize Diarmait as a cold-blooded bastard could no longer be uttered.

Finally, Olbia looked at Diarmait with a complex and emotional look in his eyes and said, "General, I am deeply grateful for Robin's care over the years."

Diarmuid looked at Olbia with deep emotion in his heart. So many years had passed in a flash. When he thought about the tragedy of O'Hara, it was still vivid in his mind, as if only three or five days had passed.

His thoughts have not changed to this day. O'Hara was guilty of "original sin". The arrogance, arrogance and truly "arrogant" attitude of the scholars were the root causes of O'Hara's destruction.

He still believed that it was foolish for O'Hara, who talked to himself and thought he was on the right side, to study historical texts in his "weak posture".

Even Diarmait didn't dare to use Hades casually to resurrect him, let alone O'Hara?

But time has passed, and my heart, which was originally not touched, became a little sad after hearing Olbia's words and thanks.

After all, he really did massacre those unarmed scholars.

It cannot be said that I regret or feel guilty, but more or less, as a strong person, I did these things in the past. Looking back now, the "wrong" I feel is just wrong.

Then he thought again, at least he had led Sakaski astray, and nothing happened to the civilians in O'Hara.

Diarmuid quickly calmed down his fluctuating emotions, then nodded to Olbia and said, "Originally, I had a lot to say to you. For example, Robin has a bright future, and you shouldn't let the past delay her. For example, I advised you not to be so stubborn. Whether it's historical texts or ancient weapons, they are ultimately twins. Those without strength and qualifications are not worthy of touching them. But now that I see you, I feel that I really don't need to say these words anymore. After so many years, I'm sure you have your own ideas. No matter what you want to do, I can't dissuade you with just one word. Times have changed, and now that things have come to this, I only have one hypocritical word to say to you..."

Olbia's expression remained unchanged. He simply looked at Diarmait and said softly, "General, please speak..."

"History will repeat itself again and again, but humans cannot go back to the past. Olbia, let it go." Diarmait sighed.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Robin and Olbia's reaction, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you and your daughter's meeting. Pack up your things and wait for me to finish my work. Let's go together. I'm going to go see another old friend first."

After finishing speaking, Diarmuid turned around and left without paying any attention to Olbia's complicated look. Garp smacked his lips with emotion, but he had nothing much to say to Olbia, and they were not even familiar with each other. Rosinante was more important, after all, as the adopted son of Zhan Guo, he could be considered his own nephew or nephew.

When Rossinanti was still young, Cap often took him with him.

"Wait for me, Diarmait!" Cap turned around and left with Diarmait.

There was no need for Magellan to say much, after all, he still had to lead Diarmait and Cap.

Soon, the group left, leaving only Robin and Olbia.

Olbia withdrew her gaze from Diarmait's departing figure and looked at Robin. After a long pause, she suddenly asked, "Robin, that guy, what kind of person is he?"

"Admiral?" Robin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. After thinking for a long time, she finally shook her head and said, "I still can't understand what kind of person he is. You can say he is righteous, but sometimes he is really a jerk. You can say he is obsessed with profit, but everything he does is for the navy... If I really want to describe him, I can only say that he is not a pure person, but a very complicated guy..."

"A very complicated guy?" Olbia murmured softly, then laughed at herself and said, "People are all complicated, Robin."

Like her, hasn't she changed over the years?

Robin didn't intend to continue discussing Diarmait with his mother. Instead, he said excitedly, "Mom, I have become the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. At the same time, I have received your pardon from the Marshal. Come on, I will help you pack your things. Let's leave together and leave Impeldown!"

Olbia felt very complicated when she heard this. To be honest, she did have some feelings for Impelton. After all, she had never been treated harshly here.

When I think about leaving, I feel a little excited but also a little reluctant.

"Then where are we going after we leave? How is O'Hara now...now?" Olbia asked hesitantly.

"O'Hara, O'Hara is long gone, but back then, the general preserved all the books of the Tree of All-Knowing. I have already thought about it. After we leave, I will send Mom to live with my friends. After all, I don't think Mom would want to live in Marineford. I will visit you often when I am on vacation." Robin said excitedly.

Seeing that Robin didn't want to talk about O'Hara, Olbia didn't mention it anymore. As for the Tree of All-Knowing, she knew about it when Robin came to visit her before. She even knew that Diarmait had collected all the books of the Tree of All-Knowing and kept them in the Marineford living area. It seemed that he had opened a huge library or something.

"Your friend's place? Where is it?" Olbia asked curiously again.

"Nine Snake Island, Amazon. Lily, their emperor. Boa Hancock and I are good friends. We joined the navy together..." Robin said with a smile.

Olbia nodded, but didn't object.

But after a brief silence, Olbia asked a little embarrassedly: "Well, can you come back and sit with me again in the future?" "Back to where?" Robin asked in surprise.

"Impelton..." Olbia said.

Robin???

Are you sick!?

Right

Chapter 397: Remember to eat but not to be beaten!

If Diarmait was surprised by Olbia's treatment, then Rosinante was even more stunned.

He is worthy of being the son of the Navy Admiral!

Diarmuid did not go deep at all. Impelton has six floors, and both Olbia and Rocinante were only on the first floor. And it was not their first time in the prison, but the first floor after entering the door.

Basically, this place is also the office space of the Imperial Prison System, so the place where the two people are seems a bit out of place.

Rossinanti said that he was imprisoned here, but in fact, he just lived here.

There's even a small yard.

At this time, Rossinanti was watering the night-glowing grass in his yard. Because there was no sunlight in the ground or underground of Pelton, ordinary flowers and plants could not grow there at all.

And this Noctilucent Grass is a specialty of the New World.

There is an area of ​​sea in the New World called the Sea of ​​Eternal Night, which seems to correspond to the waters of Judicial Island in the first half of the Grand Line.

Judicial Island is an island that never sleeps. It is daytime all year round and the sun has never set. It is really outrageous.

It is precisely for this reason that Diarmait realized very early on that the astrology in this world is nonsense. If you rely on the astrology for navigation, you will probably die without a burial place. You still have to rely on the recording pointer and the magnetic field.

The waters of Judicial Island are always daylight all year round and the sun never sets.

The new world is a sea of ​​eternal night, where the sun never rises, and it is always pitch black whenever you enter.

And I have the impression that in the Sea of ​​Eternal Night, there is a pirate paradise called Avalon Island, which is said to be the second largest in the New World.

I seem to have heard Marshal Zhan Guo say that many years ago, Avalon Island was the most prosperous island in the New World and the most famous pirate paradise in the world. However, after a hundred years, it gradually declined.

The most famous pirate paradise in the New World now is called Beehive Island 12. Beehive Island was once the base camp of the Rocks Pirates.

I think the ups and downs, prosperity and decline of a place like Pirate Paradise mostly depend on whether there are pirates big enough to keep the place under control on the island.

The Rocks Pirates are doomed, and indeed, Beehive Island has declined a lot over the years.

My impression is that Beehive Island only became popular again after Teach became one of the Four Emperors and set up his base on Beehive Island.
