From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Diarmuid felt a chill all over his body. He felt as if Roger was dead and still green...

"By the way, the child's name is Ace, Portgas. D. Ace." Garp suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke.

"I see." Diarmait nodded, but didn't say much. Instead, he asked, "How did I meet you here? Not long ago, when I was at headquarters, I heard from the general that you were going back to headquarters. By the way, what do you think about your son's matter?"

The first two sentences were fine, but when Dragon was mentioned in the latter part, Garp felt a toothache and looked at Diarmait with some annoyance. Did this bastard do it on purpose?

From the time he came on board until now, every word he said has made him very uncomfortable. Didn’t he just step on your deck and damage it?

Can't I just compensate you?

"I've been carrying out missions in the South China Sea for two years. As an old man who is so dedicated to his work, isn't it normal for me to take a vacation? I plan to go back to my hometown, which is in Windmill Village in the East China Sea. By the way, I'll entrust little Ace to my friend to take care of him. After all, I can't bring a baby back to the headquarters, right? You also know those rumors, right? If I bring this child back, I will lose face and it will also be bad for the reputation of the navy." Garp muttered.

Diarmait nodded in understanding. That’s true.

There are already rumors that have been so exaggerated about Garp. If he brings a child back, he will never be able to clear his name. It will not be a good thing for either him or Ace.

Of course, leaving Ace in Windmill Village and neglecting his discipline, causing him to think too much and hear too many things he shouldn't have heard, ultimately leading him to the path of a pirate, was not a good thing.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Diarmait for the time being. After all, Roger entrusted his son to Garp, not Diarmait.

"So what do you think about the matter of Dorag?" Diarmait asked again.

"You're not done yet, you bastard? Can't you see I don't want to answer? Do you want to fight?" Garp cursed angrily.

"Hahahahahahaha. It's been a long time since I bullied you. I couldn't help it." Diarmait laughed.

Seeing Diarmait laughing so arrogantly, Cap snorted coldly and asked, "Are you connected to that guy?"

"What do you mean?" Diarmait glanced at Garp and asked.

"It's just intuition." Karp shook his head.

"Not really, but I did meet him a few times. He wanted to recruit me. Of course, as a candidate for the Admiral of the Navy, I have a bright future and am about to become your boss. How could I possibly run away at a time like this? So for the sake of justice in my heart, I rejected him without hesitation." Diarmuid said righteously.

But Garp had no intention of believing it. He muttered, "Next time you see that guy, help me beat him up!"

"Okay, no problem." Diarmait said with a smile.

After a brief pause, he looked at Ace again and said, "So, what is your relationship with this little guy now?"

As Diarmait finished speaking, Garp finally smiled and said, "I plan to make Ace my adopted grandson and train him to become a marine. I can't let him follow the path of that bastard Roger..."

At this point, his tone became slightly melancholic as he continued, "Although neither you nor I believe that bloodlines are guilty, the world's hatred of Roger will always involve other things. I don't know how long I can protect this child, so after much thought, I feel that the Navy is his only true path to survival. As long as he joins the Navy and can become a leader in the Navy, then even if his identity is exposed one day, the Navy will be able to protect him..."

"That's right, the idea is right, but at that time, there will definitely be some conflicts with the higher-ups. After all, they don't care..." Diarmait was stunned when he said this.

Ugh?

If Ace joins the navy, for Garp's sake, he will definitely become the nephew or nephew of senior navy bosses such as Garp, Zephyr, and Azuru, and they will all call him grandpa when they meet them.

Feelings will definitely be cultivated...

Although I won't become a villain and plan anything because of this, what if, what if one day, the World Government finds out something, then wouldn't that be an important opportunity for Ace to further sever the relationship between the Navy and the World Government?

But Diarmuid quickly swept this thought out of his mind.

There is no need to rush about this matter. You can think about it slowly and see the situation later.

Karp wasn't worried at all. He waved his hand and said, "It might be risky, but it's the safest way, isn't it?"

“Hahahaha, yes.” Diarmait nodded in response. Then, before Garp could speak, Diarmait grinned and asked, “So you have a lot of ill will towards Roger…”

"What a mess?" Karp frowned.

"Ace is Roger's son, and you want to be his grandfather. Roger is dead, but you still take advantage of him. You are worthy of being you!" Diarmait laughed.

To be honest, Karp didn't think so much about it at the beginning. He just considered this matter from the perspective of age. After all, his son had already started a revolution, so there was no need to find a younger one for him, right?

So Ace was made into a grandson.

He hadn't thought about anything else afterwards, but now that Diarmait had mentioned this, he came to his senses.

After coming to his senses, Garp laughed and said, "Yeah! Now that you put it that way, I finally realized it. Hahahahahaha, that's great. Doesn't that mean I've become that bastard Roger's father?"

Seeing this guy's shameless appearance, Diarmait's original intention to tease him was gone. He waved his hand and said, "The Navy's reputation as a tough guy is well-deserved."

After Garp hugged Ace and laughed for a while, he finally asked, "Speaking of which, why did you come to the East China Sea? Do you want to come back to my house with me?"

The two of them met by chance on this vast ocean, having never greeted each other before. It was truly a special fate. …

Diarmuid took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "You knew that Shiqi was dead, didn't you?"

Karp was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know. That guy was trying to escape from Impelton and happened to run into you..."

"Anyway, I gave him my Chang Zeng Mihu Tetsu, as a wish that he wouldn't be lonely on the road. Now, I don't have any swords on me. I heard that a magic sword is about to appear in the East China Sea, so I came here to look for a sword." Diarmait said with a smile.

"I see." Karp nodded.

Garp didn't care at all about whether the sword was a demon sword or not, or whether it was appropriate for a naval general to use it. It could even be said that no one cared.

After all, although the name "Demon Sword" sounds ominous, it only refers to the sword and does not equate the demon sword with evil.

Think about it again, the highest authority in the world government, one of the Five Elders, is rumored to be holding the top-level demon sword, the First Generation Kitetsu, and no one has come out to say that it is inappropriate!

"Anyway, I still have a long vacation. Since we've met, why not go with you first? After you get that knife, come back with me and sit down?" Cap asked after thinking for a while.

Diarmait stroked his chin, thinking it through, and then nodded, "Okay, it seems you've really been holding it in for a while."

"That's right, two years. Do you know how I spent these two years?" Karp said suddenly.

Diarmait was startled, fearing that he would suddenly say something like "Garp is dead, you chose the idol, Roger is mine, even Jesus can't stop me."

Diarmait looked at Cap's slightly sad expression and understood.

In the past two years, Cap has been under tremendous pressure, but he can't tell anyone.

After finally meeting his 'accomplice', he couldn't stop talking and wanted to find someone to express his feelings, which was normal.

Diarmait remained silent, and Garp didn't dwell on it. After a few words of lamentation, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, where are you going to get that demon sword? I know this East China Sea very well!"

"The Kingdom of Akas." Diarmait did not hide anything and said directly.

"Are you going to find Xindu?" Karp said after a moment of surprise.

Diarmait???

So I don’t know the 2.9 Heart Ferry?

"Have you heard of this knife?" Diarmait asked in surprise.

"What you said is true. Anyone who grew up in the East China Sea would have heard of the demon sword. The story of Xindu? That sword was not a good sword... It almost cursed the entire Kingdom of Akas to destruction..." Garp rolled his eyes, and said with some emotion, but he couldn't speak quickly. He smiled again and said, "But you are a tough kid. You will definitely not be killed by the curse. What's more, although the story is mysterious, it is just a sword after all. Don't take it too seriously." "I didn't take it seriously..." Diarmuid complained.

After a brief pause, Diarmait suddenly seemed to recall something and said, "By the way, did you know that your son has found a wife? I met him once in Rogue Town, and he said at the time that he wanted to have a child..."

Cap? ? ?

What the hell are you talking about?

Garp, who was originally cheerful, now had a face as black as the bottom of a pot. Diarmuid, the culprit, turned around and left with satisfaction.

As expected, it’s still fun to bully Garp, hahahaha.

"Such a big thing, but you didn't even tell me, your father, what a rebellious son!!!" Garp's angry voice came from behind.

Then, the loud voice woke little Ace again, and he started crying loudly. Garp was scrambling to comfort him. The deck suddenly became lively and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Chapter 131 Demon Sword: Heart Ferry! (Second update)

The Kingdom of Akas is considered a powerful country in the East China Sea, with many islands under its jurisdiction.

But I don’t know whether Xindu is more excluded or guarded against. In any case, the island where it is located is a marginal island of the Akas Kingdom. The island is not big and there are almost no people on it. There are only some refugees living on it. From a distance, the whole island basically feels pristine.

At this time, Diarmait's warships had already seen the island on the sea level.

On the deck of the warship, Diarmait was sitting on the edge of the deck, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing.

Not far away, Ace, who could only crawl, was crawling around on the deck, and Garp was chasing and playing with him, making faces, not feeling tired at all.

There was no need to worry about the kid Ace falling under the warship. Seeing him taking care of the child, Diarmuid felt deeply sad for Dorag, who was nowhere to be found.

He must be very lucky to have grown up this big without being killed by Garp halfway through.

I heard that children who love to laugh will have good luck. I wonder if Dorag loves to laugh?

A gust of sea breeze blew, and Diarmait's fishing rod shook. He pulled it up suddenly, pulled up a big fish from the sea, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The East China Sea is really peaceful. We haven't encountered any pirates along the way. This is simply incredible in this era of pirates..." Diarmait took the sea fish off the hook and said with a smile.

It was really peaceful. He crossed the first half of the Grand Line from the Southern Calm Belt and arrived at the Northern Calm Belt. During this period, he encountered countless pirates, but he wiped them all out.

But after passing through the Northern Calm Belt and entering the East China Sea, they didn't see a single pirate.

"After all, the East China Sea is a symbol of peace, and it is also what our navy focuses on building. Naturally, we cannot allow any chaos to occur in this sea area..." Garp walked behind Diarmait and said at some point.

"Yes, a symbol of peace..." Diarmait sighed, then looked at the tough guy behind him.

It's probably only in the past two years that he hasn't been to the East China Sea. As far as I can remember, in the past few years, Karp would often go back to the East China Sea to make some trouble.

With a max-level boss like him always running around in the Novice Village, even if some powerful guy appears in the East China Sea, he will probably be killed in the bud by this bastard.

"But I heard that the corruption problem in the East China Sea Navy seems to be getting more serious." Garp said with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Diarmait also nodded and said, "Although the admirals at headquarters have been working hard to rectify these problems, the tide of the Great Pirate Age is also destroying these achievements. On the one hand, the increase in pirates will disrupt order, and on the other hand, it will increase the people's dependence on our navy. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable that the branch navy will 'expand' and quickly become corrupt and decadent..."

After a brief pause, Diarmait continued, "Perhaps it's dire straits here, but if we leave those corrupt and bastard navy branches, it won't just be dire straits; it will be hell on earth."

When Karp heard this, his eyes looked somewhat helpless.

What Diarmuid said was true. This kind of corruption is certainly not good, but in this chaotic era, it is still possible to survive.

Look at the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, that is the real hell on earth.

Spring Queen Island, a famous tourist island, was once prosperous before the Great Age of Pirates began. Now, it has been slaughtered beyond recognition...

Fortunately, the navy has recovered the lost territory and re-established order on Spring Queen Island, but even so, it will take several years for things to recover.

In comparison, although the East China Sea is also in dire straits, at least people can still survive...

"So, no matter how much order degenerates, it is still order, but chaos is the real sin." Diarmait suddenly said again.

Garp didn't respond, but instead looked off into the distance and said, "We're here. There's no point in us discussing these issues here. Let's go find your knife."

“Although theoretically we have to wait a few days for the red full moon to appear before we can get the Heart Ferry, let’s go to the island and take a look first.” Diarmuid also stood up and looked at the small island in front of the warship.

Although Garp is not a swordsman and has rarely used this thing, he grew up listening to the legend of Xindu. As a native of East China Sea, he is of course very interested in Xindu.
