From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Today, it is the year 1496 of the Sea Circle Calendar. The Battle of Edwor took place in this year, but Diarmait did not know when in this year it took place.

Now it seems that it was at the beginning of the year!

The Battle of Edwall, originally the Roger Pirates had reached their end here, but Shiki had made sufficient preparations and could have directly destroyed the Roger Pirates here.

Unfortunately, man's plans cannot defeat God's will. Shi Ji never expected that Roger was a man of destiny who had a cheat and would encounter a huge storm in this naval battle.

Because of his abilities, Shiki had no power to resist in the storm and was directly defeated. Not only was the pirate fleet he formed almost wiped out, but he himself also suffered.

A ship's rudder got stuck on his head and he couldn't get it off.

It was also because of this that the rudder on his head caused his strength to decline rapidly over the next twenty years, and he went from being a golden lion that dominated the world to an unlucky old man who could hardly show his domineering aura.

In the end, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by the Straw Hat Pirates, who also came from the East China Sea... and almost died on the spot.

The legend of a generation of heroes came to an end.

"That's right, perhaps this is the opportunity for our navy to wipe out their two pirate groups in one fell swoop." Gion said excitedly.

Diarmait nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Indeed, if the navy could catch up, Shiki would fight Roger, and no matter whether Roger could escape or not, the navy would definitely be able to deal with Shiki.

But my impression is that the navy seemed to be very powerful, but ultimately did not catch up with this battle?

This is normal. The navy had originally estimated that the battle between Ski and Roger would last for at least three days and three nights. However, the storm arose not long after the battle began, and the outcome was quickly decided. The navy had no time to get involved, and the battle was over.

“I didn’t expect that my first mission in Marineford would be such a big deal…” Diarmait said with a smile.

Kuzan, who was standing beside him, also said with a smile: "What? Are you scared? I can talk to General Zhan Guo and let you practice in peace at the headquarters."

Diarmait shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of anything. On the contrary, I'm very excited."

As they were talking, they had already walked into the huge fortress of justice. Soon, in front of Marshal Cyborg's office, they saw a group of sailors standing in the corridor.

The most conspicuous among them was a giant lieutenant general, and Diarmait recognized him at a glance.

This guy is Kuzan's good friend, Lieutenant General Haguval D. Sauro.

He was the one who later played a major role in the O'Hara Scholar incident.

This guy's condition is very similar to Kuzan's. He is leaning against the wall and yawning.

Besides him, Diarmuid also met Akainu, who would later become one of the three admirals along with Borsalino and Kuzan.

Sakaski was standing in the corridor with his arms folded across his chest, wearing a navy cap, silent.

Before Borsalino, Kuzan and the others could go up to say hello, the door of the marshal's office was suddenly opened.

Then, a middle-aged man with a very strong build and extraordinary aura strode out from inside.

He was wearing a black suit with a cloak of justice draped over his shoulders. On the cloak were the epaulettes of a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Diarmait immediately recognized the man. It was none other than the naval hero, Monkey D. Garp.

"Hey! Karp, I haven't finished speaking yet!" A roar came from the marshal's office.

Although he didn't see who it was, Diarmuid knew that the voice belonged to the Navy's most powerful boss, Grand Admiral Sora.

"Although you haven't finished speaking, I have already listened!" Karp laughed and then raised his hand to close the door of the marshal's office.

"asshole!!!"

Even though the door was closed, Diarmait and others could still hear the Marshal's angry roar inside.

But perhaps many people are used to Garp's tough style of doing things, so no one was surprised. On the contrary, many people still had smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Karp, have you rejected the appointment as admiral again?" Kuzan asked with a smile.

Garp walked towards this side and laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Lieutenant General is enough. If I become an Admiral, I will be like Zephyr and Sengoku. I don't want that."

Before Kuzan could respond, the door of the Marshal's office was opened again, and Chief of Staff Ahe and General Zhan Guo walked out.

"As soon as I went out, I heard you, a bastard, saying bad things about me?" The Warring States general complained angrily.

"Hahaha, Xiaohe, if you set off, count me on the boat." Garp ignored General Sengoku and instead spoke to Chief of Staff Ahe.

Chief of Staff Ah He said calmly, "I don't want to. You will definitely destroy the ship."

"Don't say that." Karp said without any embarrassment.

The three big guys walked in front, and the navy in the corridor followed them. Diarmuid naturally followed behind the Warring States general.

"Hey, Garp, you should have heard it just now. I will handle the matter of Shiqi..." General Sengoku glanced at Garp and said.

"Hahahahahaha, don't worry, all the credit goes to you." Karp said without any concern.

"You bastard, that's not what I'm talking about." The Warring States general scolded angrily.

However, he also knew that if it was just Shiki, Garp might still listen to advice, but if Roger was there, no one could persuade him, so in the end, General Sengoku no longer paid any attention to this bastard Garp.

The group quickly boarded the warship, and soon the warship left the port.

Only then did the Warring States general look towards Diarmait, a smile on his face as he said, "Long time no see, Diarmait, how have you been lately?"

Diarmait also smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, General. I'm fine."

"Well, I originally thought of letting you train well in our headquarters first, but then I changed my mind. Although this operation is very dangerous, if it succeeds, it will be a great achievement and may help you accumulate some foundation. So I asked Borsalino to take you with him." The Warring States general said with a smile.

It can be seen that he really takes good care of Diarmait.

"Thank you, General!" Diarmait quickly nodded in thanks.

"Well, pay more attention to safety when the time comes." The Warring States general gave another reminder.

Chapter 16 Borsalino is also a good person!

This was Diarmait's first time in the New World. To be honest, he had never thought that he would come to the New World so soon.

After all, with his current strength, he might be able to survive in the first half of the Grand Line, but in a paradise for the strong like the New World, he is undoubtedly just a small fry.

The navy's warships are very fast, and the fleet led by Admiral Sengoku does not need to be coated to cross Fishman Island.

Along the way, they went directly from Marineford to the Holy Land. Marijoa, they changed ships in Marijoa, boarded another warship from the New World port, and quickly entered the interior of the New World.

On the deck of the warship, Borsalino was chatting with Diarmait.

Diarmuid and Borsalino were not very familiar with each other before. If possible, he would prefer to hang out with Kuzan.

Unfortunately, Vice Admiral Kuzan and Vice Admiral Garp are both on Chief of Staff Azuru's ship, and Admiral Sengoku is leading Borsalino and Sakaski.

This guy Sakaski has never come out of his cabin since entering the new world.

Moreover, when they met before, he also had an expression that said "stay away from strangers". He was obviously a user of the ability of the hot magma fruit, but the aura on his body was even colder than Kuzan.

However, Diarmuid did not harbor any resentment towards Sakaski because of his neglect and indifference towards him.

After all, he felt that if he were Sakaski, he probably wouldn't have much to say to a small fry in the navy like himself.

“So our navy’s control over the New World is very weak. But if that’s the case, then why didn’t the member states of the New World secede from the World Government?” Diarmait asked curiously.

That's right, he was talking to Borsalino about the New World.

Although he was not very familiar with Borsalino before, after getting to know him for a while, Diarmuid found that Borsalino was a very approachable guy. He was not arrogant and was not proud of his strength. He spoke in a humorous way and was sometimes even more interesting than Kuzan.

As for Diarmait, he was the type who spoke one thing to one person and another to another person. Add to that some of his knowledge and thoughts from his previous life, and you'll find that what he talked about was quite to Borsalino's liking.

Originally, Borsalino only showed some care and interest in Diarmuid because of the Warring States General.

But now, he really enjoys chatting with Diarmait.

The justice in Borsalino's mind is ambiguous. It can even be said that no one can guess what he is thinking or how he defines the word justice.

As for Diarmait, he has never found his own justice. If you insist on saying it, it is ambiguous.

Therefore, unlike Kuzan, he and Borsalino have no sense of conflict in terms of ideas.

Diarmait said frankly that he hoped to have greater strength, higher status and power, and Borsalino did not think there was anything wrong with it.

"Because they have no choice." Borsalino said calmly.

After a brief pause, Borsalino continued, "Of course, in reality, many of the New World's member states have, to a certain extent, accepted the protection of the Great Pirates. The World Government has also turned a blind eye to this, and our Navy is currently too lazy to intervene. But ultimately, Diarmait, you need to understand one thing... The New World's member states will never be able to form an alliance with the pirates like they do with the World Government."

"Because of the position of justice and evil?" Diarmait asked with a frown.

Borsalino smiled, but his appearance clearly didn't indicate anything profound, but his smile looked vulgar.

After laughing, Borsalino shook his head and said, "Diarmait, issues like justice and evil are not so easy to distinguish. At the same time, many things in this world, after all, are not defined by justice and evil at all..."

Diarmait nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this principle. He was not a fool who simply divided the world into black and white.

"Well, what I'm going to say next are just some of my own thoughts... just treat them as my casual remarks." Borsalino thought for a moment and added.

He also hasn't figured out many things yet, so he hasn't joined the neutral camp.

"In my opinion, justice and evil are not the essence, but just a superficial appearance to cover up the position. If I really have to make a distinction, I would rather define it as 'chaos' and 'order'. As I said before, the member states of the New World will never be able to completely unite with pirates. In the final analysis, the reason is that the member states of the New World, in essence, represent order, while pirates are the embodiment of chaos. Therefore, no matter how much the power of our navy and the power of the world government have declined in their control over the New World, the member states here will never be completely dependent on pirates. On the contrary, they need a strong force of order as their backing, and we happen to be this kind of order..." Borsalino said thoughtfully.

While he was telling Diarmait all this, he was also thinking about what he had said.

Diarmait looked at Borsalino in surprise. He didn't expect him to say such a thing.

However, he also seemed to understand Borsalino's future position.

Ambiguous justice, will Borsalino have justice in the future?

There is no doubt that there is, but he does not attach too much importance to justice. On the contrary, perhaps he attaches more importance to the word "order".

Therefore, as long as there is no problem with the order he wants to maintain, he does not care much about many things.

Of course, this is just Diarmait's guess about Borsalino.

At the same time, after thinking about it carefully, Diarmait actually agreed with what Borsalino said.

Justice and evil are nothing but whitewashing of positions; order and chaos are the essence.

Seeing Diarmait's thoughtful expression, Borsalino smiled and continued, "Perhaps it's too early to tell you this now. You still need to experience this world yourself to find your own answers."

"Perhaps," Diarmait nodded. After a brief pause, he looked at Borsalino and smiled, "But Vice Admiral Borsalino, what you just said is truly inappropriate for a navy officer."

"Haha, is that so?" Borsalino smiled strangely and didn't care about anything.

"I will keep it a secret for you, hahaha." Diarmait teased again.

Borsalino didn't care whether his words were problematic or not, but he still smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you very much, Major."

After finishing this topic, Diarmait asked again: "Then when did our navy, or the World Government, lose control of the New World?"

"That's a long story. In fact, for more than 800 years, the World Government has never truly controlled the New World. The so-called forces of justice and evil have been rising and falling on this ocean, so this is not the first time that our navy has lost control of the New World... So, there's nothing strange about this." Borsalino said first.
