From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Two of them are broken swords.

One is named Sakura Ju and the other is named Nagasomi Kotetsu.

The other one is a complete and famous sword, its name is Dead Wood.

Although there is no inscription, just by looking at two of the three swords, you can tell that the golden lion Shi Ji is buried here.

Not far from the tomb, Diarmait, wearing a cloak of justice and holding a wine jug in his hand, sat on the rocks by the coast, silently looking at the sea.

Seven days have passed since the not-so-small riot in Impelton.

Shiqi's prison escape failed halfway. He died after taking just one step out of Impelton.

Therefore, it did not trigger any chain reaction, and the incident did not even make the news.

Not many people know about it.

After all, the people imprisoned in the sixth floor are guilty of crimes that should be covered up in the torrent of history.

There are no surprises and it won't appear in the newspapers again.

"Are you here to drink again?" Gion came behind Diarmait at some point and asked with a smile.

"Hmm?" Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'again'? I just walked here unknowingly."

"You seem to be worried these days. What happened? It's just a golden lion. You killed everyone and are still feeling sad about yourself?" Gion asked curiously, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hahahaha, I can't say I'm sentimental. I'm a candidate for admiral in the navy, why should I be sentimental about that bastard pirate?" Diarmuid laughed.

Gion didn't refute anything, but just glanced at the grave and thought to himself, "But you still built a grave for him. Fortunately, there is no inscription, otherwise it would be hard to explain."

"I was just wondering, why did people like Skina die like that? What was wrong with him?" Diarmuid asked.

“That’s not enough…” Gion opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn’t say anything.

What's wrong with Shiki?

It seems like nothing is missing from him. He has fame, power, status, and strength.

And they are all first-class and powerful.

But he died so easily.

"Maybe I just lacked a little bit of luck." Diarmait said to himself.

A glint of understanding flashed across Gion's eyes, and he said softly, "Yes, Shiki has everything except a little bit of luck."

"Before he died, the last thing he asked me was, what would the world be like if there hadn't been that storm?" Diarmait said with a smile.

"How did you answer?" Gion asked curiously.

"I say, if it weren't for that storm, perhaps you, Shiqi, would be unparalleled in the world." Diarmait said seriously.

Gion was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

But at this moment, Diarmait smiled again and said, "Thinking about it now, my words were somewhat meant to comfort him as he was dying. Or perhaps, at that moment, I also admired his generosity in accepting death. But if he could ask me again today, perhaps I would give a different answer."

"What's the answer?" Gion asked again.

"No matter if there was a storm or not... he will be defeated by me!" Diarmait said without hesitation.

At this, Gion was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, this is what you, Diarmait, would say. How arrogant."

"This sea is too small, barely enough for me to explore. In this case, how can there be anyone worthy of my calling him 'unparalleled in the world'?" Diarmait said with a smile as he drank the wine in his hand.

"Isn't this a bit too much of an underestimation of the heroes of the world? It's only enough for you to deal with it? Aren't we worthy?" Gion looked at Diarmait with some dissatisfaction.

Diarmait smiled but said nothing.

After looking at Diarmait for a while with displeasure, Gion finally decided not to argue with this arrogant man. He patted the Kinpila on his waist and said, "At the beginning, I said I would give you this sword, but you didn't use it. Now, you have given Nagase Mikoto to Shiki, and you don't even have a broken sword in your hand. I think that dead wood is good, why don't you use it? It's a waste to leave it in front of this grave."

Diarmait turned his head to look at the dead tree in front of the grave, smiled and said, "In Impelton, when Shiqi just rushed out, I did have this thought in my mind, but when he died, I didn't have the slightest interest in it."

"What do you mean?" Gion asked somewhat puzzled.

"Everything about him should become a legend along with his fame. Never show up again. You don't even know what I gave up when I killed him... So why should I care about this knife anymore?" Diarmait waved his hand.

"So, you killed Shiki in Impelton, but you got nothing in return and even lost your own sword?" Gion rolled his eyes.

“There should be some benefits for me from our headquarters, right?” Diarmuid said, touching his chin.

After a brief pause, Diarmait looked at Gion and said, "Isn't this a great achievement? Without me, Impelton's eight hundred years of reputation would have been ruined."

"It's not necessarily the case. Originally, because of the matter of our G-7 prisoner, Impelton had a lot of contact with us. From the perspective of our headquarters, you and Impelton have a certain sense of 'integration'. What's more, you were at the scene and encountered such an emergency. You should have done your duty conscientiously. How can you say that you have made a great contribution?" Gion analyzed.

Before Diarmuid could speak, Gion continued, "If you weren't already a candidate for general, you would have been awarded a great merit. But now, you're only one step away. How can we award you a great merit?"

"Hahahahaha, after all this fuss, did I level up too fast?" Diarmait laughed.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. At this point, he has already stepped half a foot into the ranks of generals.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, the relationship between him and the Navy Headquarters is no longer a simple superior-subordinate relationship.

It's a relationship at the same level.

One glory and one glory.

Merits and such are no longer of any use, because he has become a candidate for general and is only one step away from becoming a general. What he lacks is not merits, but the nod from above.

From this perspective, there is really no need to give Diarmait any credit. Look at the Warring States general who has worked hard for so many years, has he ever received any credit?

No!

why?

Because the Warring States generals have become the kind of people who "make" contributions, and Diarmuid, although not in a proper position, is actually at the same level as the Warring States generals.

Merit and such are of no use to them.

What they should pursue is to continuously strengthen the strength and interests of the Navy Headquarters under the condition of common prosperity. This is the foundation of their current existence.

That's what's really useful to them.

The stronger the navy, the more power they have, and the more they can do!

After laughing, Diarmait's eyes became deeper.

In fact, Shiqi's death this time gave him a lot of feelings.

The most profound thing was that the heroism of Shiqi before his death had a great impact on Diarmait's spirit.

This made him wonder if he was being too self-deprecating.

Always treat the world with caution.

Before this, he only thought about intervening in the affairs of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but if you think about it carefully, what are the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Twenty years later, as soon as Fujitora came to power, he bluntly stated that he wanted to destroy the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

How domineering is that?

And Diarmait already has enough power to stand in this world, so why should he be so cautious?

The Seven Warlords of the Sea is the first step, so the second step should be to kill those so-called Four Emperors.

There is no need to even create a Four Emperors pattern in this ocean.

In this ocean, the voice of the navy is enough, isn't it?

And he just happened to be from the navy!

But soon, Diarmait put this thought aside. Perhaps it was right to do so, but for now, it would be better to get the general first.

"Come to think of it, the situation in the New World has been collapsing. Borsalino has suffered another defeat." Diarmuid complained.

Not long ago, when Diarmuid and his men went to O'Hara to cause trouble.

Borsalino had a skirmish with the Big Mom Pirates in the New World, or rather, he was ambushed.

Back then, on Hogli Island, Borsalino and Diarmuid teamed up to defeat Charlotte and Lingling.

Diarmuid then turned back to G-7 and gave it to Charlotte. Even if Lingling had the courage and ability, she couldn't possibly reach out to G-7.

But I still have to let out that anger.

As a result, all the anger was directed at the unlucky guy Borsalino. If he hadn't run fast, he and his fleet would have been ambushed by the Big Mom Pirates.

"It's not just the New World. The order of the first half of the Grand Line has also collapsed. Vice Admiral Vislan was sacrificed. The entire G-16 base was completely destroyed. More than navy officers lost contact. Even the Spring Queen Island fell. ... What's more, this may just be the beginning." Gion said with a heavy face.

540 “In the craze of pirates, there are always one or two dazzling guys popping up…” Diarmait sighed.

Diarmait had never even heard of the person who destroyed the G-16 naval base.

His name is Craster, and his current bounty is 460 million berries. He has formed a very powerful fleet and has nearly 7,000 pirate brothers under his command.

At the same time, his ability is also very strange, belonging to the superhuman type. He is the user of the Blood-Blood Fruit and is said to be able to control blood.

It seemed that Lieutenant General Weislan was just careless and was cut by him with a small wound on his body. In an instant, blood flowed like a river and his whole body was drained. It can be imagined how strange this ability is!

In fact, it wasn't just this Craster. There were many new and arrogant people on the sea, far more than just the few that Diarmuid knew, such as Doflamingo, Gekko, and Moriah.

Apart from these few, there are many strong and brutal newcomers.

There are a lot of people with bounties exceeding 100 million yuan.

Just as Diarmait was sighing about this, suddenly, the Den Den Mushi he was carrying rang. He took it out and looked at it. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "It's Stussy from CP..." Gion's face turned a little ugly, and he snorted and said, "Vixen." After that, he ignored Diarmait and turned away.

Diarmuid glanced at Gion's back with amusement, then picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Master Stussy? What can I do for you?"

Hearing Diarmait's teasing, Stussy also laughed and said, "I dare not give orders to you, Lord Diarmait. ... Speaking of which, I have two good news to tell you today." "What good news?" Diarmait's eyes lit up.

"First, I have become the general manager of CP-0's special peripheral organization, Happy Street. From now on, I can be called a 'big shot'." Stussy said excitedly.

Diarmait grinned and said, "Congratulations, Queen Stusi."

"Queen? Haha, this is a title I really like." Stussy said a little flatteredly.

But she was only floating around for a while, and she was not someone who didn't know her limits, so she collected her thoughts and said, "Second, there is news about the famous sword that Lord Diarmait asked me to find..."

Chapter 129: Where is my Seven Star Sword? Served three of the most powerful demon swords!? (Five more chapters, plus extra chapters with flowers!)

"Oh? A famous sword?" Diarmait's eyes lit up and he looked at the grave in the distance.

He had just "gifted" Nagasomi Kotetsu to Shiki, but Stussy immediately got the news about the famous sword?

This is fate!

"How much?" Diarmait asked generously.
