From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Borsalino's view is actually quite correct. Diarmuid forcefully ate the Dark-Dark Fruit in Alabasta, and we can see that at certain critical moments, this guy is the kind of person who would not fear life or death for the sake of power...

"Headache!" Diarmait rubbed his head, then glared at Borsalino unhappily.

Porusalino? ? ?

"What for?" Borsalino asked curiously.

"Please don't lead me into these philosophical questions so early in the morning. It makes me uncomfortable..." Diarmait said unhappily.

“You’re just being too stubborn.” Borsalino rolled his eyes at Diarmuid.

Without continuing the topic, Diarmait changed the subject and said, "By the way, how's the science unit doing now? Is everything okay?"

"Yes." Borsalino said calmly.

Diarmait???

"What's the problem? Don't involve us, the Calm Belt..." Diarmait asked with a little concern.

"It has nothing to do with that. We are going to arrest Bartholomew. He is a bear, but that guy is difficult to deal with." After a slight pause, Borsalino said this.

Diarmait was even more surprised. He asked in surprise, "Arrest Bartholomew the Bear? Why?"

"Because he is from the Songming Army," Borsalino said.

"Isn't this something we've known for a long time? Didn't you have a cooperation? Why did you..." Diarmait asked with some surprise.

"The past is the past. The situation is different now. Anyway, the Marshal has no intention of continuing to cooperate with the people of the Ge Ming Army. There is no need to cooperate. You can understand it as crossing the river and destroying the bridge." Borsalino said calmly.

Diarmait was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true. There's no need to get involved with the Song of Life Army anymore."

The reason is very simple. One is that the navy has enough power to be independent and does not need to make any deal with the Songming Army. The other is that Marshal Sengoku has decided to make trouble. So while he is trying to discredit Mary Geoise, he must also be wary of any negative information Mary Geoise might get hold of about the navy.

There is no doubt that although people like Diarmait know that the Song of Life Army is not a truly evil group, from the perspective of universal values, the Song of Life Army has a very bad reputation.

At this time, it is better not to have anything to do with them.

"This is difficult, Bartholomew. Bear... do you need help?" Diarmait asked again.

"No need. It's indeed difficult. That guy is basically immune to the power of seastone now. But it's no problem. Use your brain and invite him to participate in an experiment. We can easily anesthetize him..." Borsalino said with a slightly sinister tone.

Diarmait asked in surprise, "Immune to seastone? What does that mean?"

Borsalino explained, "Bartholomew Kuma is essentially a cyborg. Dr. Vegapunk, through some unknown means, has allowed his modified body to still use its fruit abilities. However, this modification, to a certain extent... well, I can't quite explain it, but after the modification, the non-flesh and blood part of Bartholomew Kuma has become immune to the effects of seastone."

"This..." Diarmait was really surprised.

So, if he captured Bartholomew Kuma, would the dark power, once it touched his iron body, deprive him of his abilities?

After thinking about it, Diarmait felt that this should still be possible. After all, this was very different from seastone. It was part of the ability to use...

Just like that, while chatting about these trivial matters, several people walked into the building.

Soon, everyone went to their own offices and started working.

Chapter 403 I am thirty-nine this year and have been in this department for twenty years.

I returned to my office and wrote a document after a long absence.

The above content is roughly what Doflamingo had talked about in the Golden City before.

Diarmuid felt that Marshal War might be too surprised by the oral description alone, so it would be better to write it down in a document.

After about a whole morning of struggling, Diarmuid finally took the documents, left his office, and headed towards Marshal Zhan Guo.

As soon as I reached the door of the Marshal's office, I saw Sakaski walking out.

"Are you done?" Diarmait asked casually.

"Well, I should say I'm just about to get busy." Sakaski said with a smile.

Diarmait didn't ask him what he came to talk to the marshal about. It was probably about something in the New World. There was a high probability that Whitebeard, Big Mom, and the Beasts Pirates would join forces to cause trouble.

As the general in charge of the New World naval war, Diarmuid did not believe that Sakaski would not receive any news.

It is not Diarmait's turn to take care of this matter for the time being, and he has no interest in it.

The initial joint operations would definitely be handled by Sakaski, as this was his duty as the admiral in charge of this aspect.

And when the three pirate groups officially join forces and even launch a joint offensive, and Sakaski can't handle it alone, the marshal will take over as the leader to coordinate the overall situation.

Only Diarmuid and Borsalino, the two generals in charge of other aspects, will officially enter.

By then, it won't just be the two of them. Once a war really breaks out, the Navy Headquarters will also mobilize a large number of troops, lieutenant generals, major generals and countless officers from various headquarters will join the battle.

Of course, this is only theoretical. It mainly depends on the extent to which the three pirate groups can unite and how much pressure they can bring to Sakaski and the New World Navy.

What if they start fighting among themselves and disband?

Naturally, it was not Diarmait and the others' turn to play.

"Then I wish you good luck in your military career." Diarmait said with a smile.

Sakaski certainly knew that Diarmait had deep roots in the New World. Diarmait was in charge of contacting and managing forces such as Happy Street, Smoker, and G-5. It was impossible for him not to be aware of the trends in the New World.

Therefore, the phrase "May the military fortune prosper" indicates that Diarmait knew that a war was about to break out in the New World.

"Yeah." Sakaski responded first, then added, "The Marshal actually wants me to find a way to delay this matter until after the World Conference..."

Diarmait nodded, but didn't say anything more.

The same was true for Sakaski. He added this last sentence simply because the relationship between the two sides was relatively good, which gave Diarmuid some peace of mind.

Soon, Sakaski left here. He even went back to pack up and headed to the new world.

Diarmuid did not linger for long and walked into the Marshal's office.

Marshal Zhan Guo just placed a document on the corner of the table at this time, and it seemed that he had finished processing it.

After hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Diarmait. He then complained, "Don't fall into depravity with that bastard Garp, okay?"

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He calmly left the office, knocked on the door, and stuck his head in. "Sir, may I come in?"

The Warring States Marshal was confused and asked, "Are you a drama queen?"

Just now, Sakaski happened to meet Diarmait at the door, so Diarmait came in.

Marshal Zhan Guo was just joking.

Diarmait also happened to join in the joke.

They both laughed at the same time.

"You kid are really something. You are such a grown-up, but you still do these fancy things." Marshal Zhan Guo said with a funny tone.

"You all know that I'm almost forty, and you still call me a kid all the time. So I have to teach you how to be a kid, right?" Diarmuid said carelessly, and then walked to the desk of Marshal Zhan Guo.

Then, he glanced at the photo frame on the Marshal's desk. There was a photo in it. It was a group photo taken by everyone before Commander Cyborg left Marineford. Diarmuid was naturally in it.

The Marshal followed Diarmait's gaze and looked at the photo. He then said with a rather emotional tone, "How many years have passed in a flash... I vaguely remember that when you first came to the headquarters, you were less than twenty years old..."

"To be precise, I'm just about to turn nineteen." Diarmait replied with a smile.

This year is the year 1516 of the Sea Circle Calendar. He had come to the Marine Headquarters from the North Sea in the year 1496 of the Sea Circle Calendar, following Sengoku and Zephyr. Marineford.

This year is exactly the twentieth year.

Diarmait, from a 19-year-old boy, grew into a 39-year-old admiral of the navy.

“Hahahaha…” Marshal Zhan Guo laughed, but he didn’t reminisce about the glorious past with Diarmait. Instead, he asked, “You asked me to make time to meet you before. What’s that?”

"I thought you'd be incredibly busy, but it seems you aren't. I wouldn't have bothered to say hello if I'd known." Diarmait first responded, then handed the document in his hand to Marshal Sengoku and said, "Regarding Mary Geoise and the secrets of the Celestial Dragons that Doflamingo shared with me in the Golden City, I think you need to be mentally prepared for this. At the same time, this is the most appropriate reason and excuse for us to sever our relationship with Mary Geoise. It can help us maintain our righteousness and win over certain members of the allied nations..."

Diarmait's words contained a lot of important information. Marshal Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious. He took the document and said, "That's really important. Please sit down and let me take a look."

Diarmait nodded, but did not sit down. Instead, he walked to the window, opened it, and then lit a cigar. Smoke was coming out of his mouth, but his eyes were looking at Marineford.

It has been twenty years since he came here. He almost forgot his life in Beihai for the first nineteen years.

Now he holds great power in the navy and is basically the successor to the next marshal. Although Marshal Zhan Guo has never said this explicitly, judging from his many actions and the recognition of many naval generals, this is roughly the case.

Thirty years ago, not long after he came into this world, he lived a life like a wild dog in the North Sea, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear. He could die at any time in this beautiful yet cruel world.

At that time, he was a person with no bottom line, which was normal. If he could barely survive, what was the point of having a bottom line?

Thinking back to those days, I also thought about becoming a villain, a pirate, and doing all sorts of messy things.

He even tried it, but going out to sea was not as easy as he imagined. He had no experience, no capital, and not even a fishing boat. How could he go out?

The most important thing is that he has no strength at all.

Not only can he not form his own pirate group, but if he wants to join someone else's group, he will only be cannon fodder, and he may die in the chaos at any time.

At that time, the only path left for Diarmait to choose was to be a cannon fodder as lowly as a wild dog.

Finally, Diarmuid understood this and decided to join the navy...

After all, being cannon fodder for the evil party is against human rights, but being cannon fodder for the navy does provide some protection.

We are all cannon fodder, so don’t you understand how to choose?

After that, he worked his way up to the position of colonel in the North Sea Navy, caught the attention of Zephyr and Sengoku, and came to Marineford. His luck was really good, and after all the bumps along the way, he finally reached the position of admiral of the navy.

Now, he has the strength and power to do so.

And within his sight, the thousands of warships, the tens of thousands of naval forces, and even more beyond his sight, were all forces he could control. …

Looking back, he suddenly felt like he was at the top of the world, lacking nothing.

But soon, he thought of Mary Joa again.

His only constraint at the moment is also the navy’s only constraint!

"It will get better, it will be resolved soon..." Diarmait murmured softly, exhaling a puff of smoke from his mouth.

Here he fell into the illusion of memories, while Marshal Zhan Guo had a very serious expression at this time.

Even the more he read the document, the more frightened he became, and at the same time, a little angry.

The necessity of the incompetent Celestial Dragons, the ancient weapons, the Celestial King, Uranus, Lord Imu on the Void Throne in Panger Castle... These things he had never known before filled him with indignation and pressure. After a long moment, Marshal Zhan Guo put down the documents in his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Diarmait came back to his senses at this moment, looked away from the window, and said with a smile: "What's so hard about me?"

"You have been planning for so many years to get these secret information from Doflamingo. I should at least praise you." Marshal Zhan Guo smiled, but the smile was a little forced.

"It's nothing. I admire that guy anyway." Diarmuid said calmly, waving his hand.
