From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Just when Diarmait and others were confused, Barrett suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, don't think too much. I just lured that bastard Whitebeard here. There's no other reason. I just wanted to see if he would go crazy!" Barrett laughed.

"What a lunatic!" Gion cursed angrily.

Diarmait sighed and said, "He is a madman..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi on his body suddenly rang.

When I took it out and looked at it, it was Lieutenant General Jonathan.

"Lieutenant General Jonathan?" Diarmuid answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Whitebeard, it's Whitebeard's fleet! I don't know how they managed to quietly enter the first half of the Grand Line. Did you feel that power just now?" Lieutenant General Jonathan said in a very anxious tone.

"I felt it. It was extremely powerful. Although I was caught off guard, I didn't even see him. I didn't even know how far away he was, but he hurt me." Diarmait admitted frankly.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the question he asked Borsalino when he was on Hogli Island in the New World.

What would have happened if Whitebeard had come instead of Charlotte Linlin that day?

And Borsalino's answer to him was... if he was facing Whitebeard, there would be no safe place even if he retreated to the end of the world.

At that time, Diarmait was just sighing and didn't have any experience.

And today, he finally understood what Borsalino meant.

Just as Diarmait was thinking about this, Vice Admiral Jonathan spoke again, "The outer fleet has begun to collapse. The Demon Slayer Order has been almost completely annihilated. I'm leading my men to rescue them. I hope I can help buy you some time. However, I have no confidence in facing an opponent like Newgate. Diarmait, have you finished your work on the island?"

"No, I haven't even seen Crocodile yet... Wait a minute." At this point, Diarmait glanced at Gion and asked, "How's Crocodile doing?" "I evacuated after I found Marco and didn't bother with him, but he should still be on the island!" Gion said quickly. Diarmait nodded, then said to the Den Den Mushi, "We haven't caught Crocodile yet, but Douglas Barrett could be arrested at any time."

"He is the main target. Listen to my advice, Diarmait, and take Barrett away quickly. This way, at least our goal will be achieved." Lieutenant General Jonathan said quickly.

However, before Diarmait could speak, another powerful shaking force, like the previous one, erupted from all directions, shattering the space and churning the sea, as if it was going to tear the sky apart.

Fortunately, Diarmuid was mentally prepared this time. The gravity in his body dispersed outwards, offsetting the vibration force.

However, there was a noisy sound coming from the Den Den Mushi, including artillery fire and some other messy sounds, shouts, roars, and wailing cries for help.

"Lieutenant General Jonathan? Senior Jonathan?" Diarmuid called out to the Den Den Mushi.

But there was no response from the other side.

"Damn it." Diarmait cursed and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on Sakaski rang again. He picked it up without hesitation and said, "General Sengoku!?"

"Sakaski, is Diarmuid with you?" the Warring States general asked immediately, his tone very urgent.

Without a word, Sakaski handed the Den Den Mushi to Diarmait, who took it and said, "I'm here, General!"

"Did you fight with the Whitebeard Pirates?" Admiral Sengoku asked quickly.

"I haven't, but Vice Admiral Jonathan and his men should have confronted the Whitebeard Pirates. I have lost contact with Vice Admiral Jonathan. Now all I can confirm is that the Demon Slayer Fleet has been defeated by the Whitebeard Pirates!" Diarmait quickly reported the situation.

As for how the Sengoku generals knew Whitebeard was coming. …

If he still can't get the message now, then he shouldn't be a general!

So Diarmait didn't ask at all.

"Damn it!" General Zhan Guo cursed angrily, then said, "I've already sent reinforcements. Xiao He is leading his team towards Spring Queen Island. I'll also set out from Marineford to meet you later..."

“Support?” Diarmait was stunned.

"That's right, come on, as the general, I order you, Diarmait, to lead the navy in the waters near the Island of the Queen of Spring to retreat!" said the Warring States general bluntly.

After a brief pause, Admiral Sengoku's tone softened and he began to speak, "Garp is in the East China Sea, Zephyr has taken his students to the New World for combat exercises, Kuzan and Borsalino are both in the New World, and I'm in Marineford. You guys simply can't withstand Whitebeard's power. You've never fought that bastard, so you have no idea how terrifying he is when he goes crazy. With your current state, you can't win a head-on battle with Whitebeard's fleet!"

"If we can't win, should we stop fighting?"

Of course, it was not Diarmait who said this, but Sakaski who couldn't help but question it.

"Shut up!" General Sengoku cursed, then said in a deep voice: "Diarmuid, Sakaski, Gion, you carry the future of the navy on your shoulders, do you understand?!"

After the Sengoku general finished speaking, Diarmuid, Gion, and Sakaski all fell silent.

I also understood what the Warring States general meant.

The Whitebeard Pirates seem to have sent out a fleet, but the navy has not yet received accurate information on how many people have come and how many powerful cadres are included.

But I think it should be pretty good. At the same time, it has been confirmed that Whitebeard himself is present.

With the current strength of Diarmuid and the others, they want to have a big battle with the Whitebeard Pirates here. It sounds grand, but if you think about it carefully, won't the three of them just be defeated?

Although this may sound harsh, it is the truth!

Even Sakaski couldn't refute it.

The Warring States generals' intention was obvious. They hoped that they could keep themselves useful so that it would not be too late to deal with Whitebeard after they grew up.

There's no need to fight to the death with Whitebeard just for a momentary rage.

"An order is an order, execute it immediately!" the Warring States general gave another order.

Seeing this, Diarmait could only say: "Yes, everything is for justice!"

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Diarmuid looked at Sakaski and Gion and said, "Prepare to evacuate."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed Barrett in the void. Barrett suddenly lost weight and flew directly towards Diarmait.

Sakaski and Gion were also very rude. They were both very angry and immediately took the unlucky boy Barrett as their target. A stream of plasma and a stream of magma burst out from their bodies, one on the left and one on the right, and hit Barrett hard.

Barrett's condition was already very bad, and after being attacked by Gion and Sakaski together, he completely lost the ability to resist.

Sakaski grabbed Barrett's neck, the magma in his hand surged twice, and finally snorted coldly, "Go!"

Barrett was not killed on the spot.

Diarmait naturally had no intention of killing Barrett. He was already heartbroken after killing Ski, right?

It’s better to lock up Barrett and others first, otherwise you might be able to make money from them later.

As for Crocodile and Marco, it was obvious that Diarmait and the other two had no intention of paying any attention to these two rookies.

The few of them walked through the ruins, and not long after, Diarmait's Den Den Mushi rang again.

After taking it out and looking at it, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the phone and asked, "Senior Jonathan?"

"Diarmait, go southwest. My ship is here to pick you up. That guy Newgate has already defeated our fleet and landed on the island!" Jonathan said in a very serious tone.

"Where's Dalmesia?" Sakaski asked.

...asking for flowers "It's been connected, only you three are missing!" Jonathan said again.

"I understand. Let's go now!" Diarmait responded quickly.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Diarmuid and the others quickly changed direction and headed towards the southwest sea.

However, the three of them had not walked with Barrett for long when they saw a blue figure in the sky, flapping its wings and flying past from a distance.

I guess that poor kid Marco has escaped.

However, it seemed that because of this, Marco discovered them. After flying in the air in the distance for a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Diarmuid and the others remained silent and rushed towards the meeting place.

But at this moment, a violent shaking force suddenly erupted from the ruins in the distance.

“Damn it!” Diarmuid cursed, then pushed Gion and Sakaski away and said, “You go first, I’ll cover your retreat!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait unsheathed the Heart Ferry from his waist, bringing with it a strong smell of curse and strong wind pressure, mixed with invisible gravity, and slashed at the oncoming vibration force.

The two extremely powerful forces collided with each other in an instant, and the Spring Queen Island, which was already cracked in half, exploded again and was forcibly divided into four areas.

Sakaski and Gion were not the kind of people who would hesitate. Diarmuid blocked the shaking force with his move. Of course, the two of them could not stage any tragic drama here. Without saying a word, they turned around and ran away.

"Damn, how disloyal! I was just saying it casually!" Diarmuid complained in his heart.

Of course, it's just a complaint.

The gravity in his hand continued to be released. After about thirty seconds, the confrontation between the two invisible energies finally came to an end.

Everywhere you look, there is a mess.

The ground was broken and undulating, giving the impression of a demolition site. There was no flat land to be found.

Originally, there were some houses and trees on the island. Even though the houses were abandoned, at least they were still standing.

Now, everything has become a ruin, and the trees and other things have been uprooted and are lying all over the place.

Putting away his thoughts, Diarmait looked in the direction where the trembling force erupted from, but did not see any figure.

However, if you use your Observation Haki to investigate, you will find that there is a large group of people rushing towards this side.

At the same time, the auras of these people were extremely powerful, and the one in the lead didn't even look like a human!

"Damn it!" Diarmait put away his Observation Haki, turned around and ran without saying a word.

It was obvious that a group was coming from the opposite side. Was he going to fight them alone here?

However, he was also somewhat responsible, and the direction he chose to run away was exactly opposite to the direction that Sakaski and others left.

However, just after Diarmait ran a few steps, he heard a heroic voice coming from a distance.

"Kulalalalalala, you fierce tiger of the Marine Headquarters, you don't even dare to see me?" Newgate laughed loudly.

Diarmait stopped walking and turned to look at the tall figure slowly walking out of the ruins in the distance, as well as the group of pirates around him.

The tall figure was Whitebeard, and those around him included Joz, Vista, Izo, Marco and others.

There were also a group of people he knew and a group of people he didn't know. It was obvious that Whitebeard was traveling with a large group of his sons. Diarmait couldn't help but sigh and said, "What an unlucky day..."

"Kulalalala, Diarmait...is that the right name? You are younger than I thought." Newgate seemed to be in a good mood and spoke.

It was as if the person who was so angry that he almost destroyed the island was not him at all.

Diarmait looked at the handsome and blond Newgate and smiled, saying, "To be honest, you are much younger than I thought..."

Chapter 140: When have you ever seen a Navy Admiral candidate compromise with pirates?!

The man with white beard in my impression is already bald, wearing a turban that covers his skull, but his upright beard still hangs on his mouth like a crescent moon.

But I also vaguely know that when he was young, he had long golden hair and was very domineering.

At the Marine Headquarters, I had indeed read Whitebeard's information and seen his current appearance.
