From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

His expression was very sincere, as if he was really looking forward to it.

In fact, he really admired Stussy. As a member of the CP agency, he later established the powerful intelligence agency Happy Street.

Perhaps Stussy was somewhat lacking in hard power, but there was no doubt that she was very capable in professional matters such as intelligence.

If he could trick her into working under him and joining the Navy Intelligence Department, the Navy's intelligence capabilities would definitely be greatly enhanced.

As for her identity as a CP agency?

This is not the point. As equal agencies under the World Government, there are often personnel transfers between the Navy and the CP.

Even though the relationship between the two parties is very tense, this kind of thing is indeed true.

After all, both sides are consistent in their stance and are soldiers under the same boss.

As for becoming a spy or something, that is impossible. We are all members of the World Government. Are we crazy to find a way to become a spy for the other side?

If something like this were to be discovered, it wouldn't be something that could be explained as a 'misunderstanding', and the world government would definitely hold those responsible accountable.

I have never heard of any CP spies within the Navy, nor have I ever heard of any Navy undercover agents within the CP.

It's like you've never heard of the secret police and the military spying on each other.

After all, the tense relationship between the Navy and the CP is nothing more than a political balancing act of the World Government. They are in a competitive relationship, not mortal enemies.

Although Diarmuid spoke sincerely, Stussy looked at him as if he were a fool.

Stussy showed absolutely no intention of accepting the offer. He shook his head decisively and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Major General, but as the commander of CP-9, I have no intention of transferring to the Navy. Moreover..."

Having said that, Stussy paused for a moment and said, "Although you are very powerful, Major General, I am still a bit higher in terms of administrative rank. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason for me to work under you, right?"

To put it simply, it's one thing that you are strong, but you are not qualified to make me bow down to you.

Diarmuid only mentioned it casually, and he didn't hold much hope in the first place. Anyway, he might as well give it a try. What if Stussy was stupid enough to agree?

Therefore, after being rejected, he did not get angry, but smiled and said, "That's such a pity."

The outcome was already decided, and Stussy didn't continue to bother about Lucci. She couldn't afford to lose face with him.

So after chatting with Diarmait for a few words, she prepared to leave.

At this moment, Diarmait suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of which, if I become a vice admiral in the future, will I be able to invite Lord Stussy to serve in our navy?"

Stussy paused for a moment before turning to look at Diarmait and said, "Perhaps I'll consider it when you become a general."

This is also a polite refusal. After all, who can say for sure about such things?

It was true that Diarmait had shown great potential, but Stussy also knew that there were people in the navy who could compare with him.

Speaking of generals, among Sakaski, Kuzan, and Borsalino, which one of them doesn't have more hope than Diarmuid?

But Diarmait smiled and said, "Then I will take it seriously."

Stussy ignored Diarmait and turned away.

After a while, the old man who had just run away with the little brat Lucci came back again and watched the whole process of Diarmuid beating Stussy. Now he didn't dare to treat the rear admiral in front of him as an ordinary rear admiral, and his expression became more respectful.

"Major General, this little guy is Lu Qi, the seedling you are looking for." The old man said quickly.

Diarmait nodded, ignored him, squatted down, reached out and rubbed Lucci's head with a smile on his face.

At this time, Lucci did not have the cold temperament that he would have more than 20 years later, nor did he have a dull, lifeless face. He looked a little cute and adorable.

"The information says that you are a person with special abilities?" Diarmuid asked.

Lucci seemed to understand and nodded, "Animal type. Cat-Cat Fruit. Leopard form."

To be honest, Diarmait felt a little regretful. In his opinion, Lucci should have a very strong talent, and an ordinary animal-type devil fruit really held him back.

But there's nothing we can do. He's already a special ability user. We can't ask him to spit out the devil fruit again, right?

Just think about it for comfort. Well, this kid will develop his animal-type ability very strongly in the future. Coupled with his talent, which focuses on physical skills and combat skills, the animal-type ability can provide a good bonus... That's okay, we can't always expect perfection in everything.

"Very good. My name is Rodriguez. Diarmait is a major general of the Navy Headquarters and also serves as the deputy chief of the Intelligence Staff. I came here this time to invite you to join our Navy Headquarters. It would be a waste of your talent to grow here. After we return to the headquarters, I will recommend you to become a disciple of Admiral Zephyr. When you are of the right age, you will officially join our Navy and become a direct member under my command. Is that okay?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

Although his tone was inquiring, his words and deeds revealed that he had already arranged everything.

Lucci was stunned for a moment, and also felt Diarmait's strength. For him, he didn't understand the difference between CP and the Navy at all, but judging from the performance of this major general just now, he should be more powerful than that beautiful big sister.

So Lu Qi nodded and said, "Okay."

Diarmuid smiled upon seeing this, stood up, and said to the old man beside him: "Hand over his documents, I will take him away today. As for this... ask Lady Stussy from the CP agency to claim reimbursement, after all, she was the one who started it." "Yes, Major General!" the old man responded quickly.

Of course, he didn't dare to ask Stussy for compensation for the loss here... so he just had to bear it silently.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on Diarmait rang. He took it out and saw that it was from the Chief of Staff.

After waving his hand to ask the old man and Lucci to stay away, Diarmait picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello? Chief of Staff?" Diarmait asked.

"Diarmuid, have you finished your work?" asked Chief of Staff Ahe.

Diarmuid vaguely felt that the Chief of Staff's tone was serious?

He didn't delay and said directly: "Although there were some twists and turns, it has been completed. After the formalities are handed over, I will return to Marineford. Do you have any instructions?" "Come back as soon as possible. Something big has happened. The Roger Pirates have confirmed your previous speculation...." Vice Admiral Ahe said softly.

Diarmait was stunned. So fast?

But it's true... The time has come.

"Has the news spread?" Diarmait asked quickly.

"Not yet, but it will be soon. After all, we got this information from Morgans. He has promised to keep it secret for us for three days. After three days, the news will be announced in the newspaper, and Roger will become the Pirate King at that time!" Chief of Staff Ahe said in a deep voice.

It seems that Morgans was also frightened. After receiving the news, he did not dare to be too arrogant. He still contacted the World Government and reserved time for the World Government to prepare.

"I understand. I will return to Marineford now." Diarmait said in a deep voice.

In fact, he knew very well that at this point, the navy had no good countermeasures and could only passively accept this fact.

At the same time, it is natural to increase the intensity of the attack on Roger's pirate group. It is estimated that he was called back this time to discuss this matter.

But Diarmait knew very well that the Roger Pirates were very difficult to find because of their small number. After this incident, the Roger Pirates would be disbanded immediately.

All the members scattered like birds and beasts and hid all over the world. Except for this cheating guy like me, the navy couldn't find them at all.

It was not until two years later, in the year 1520 of the Haiyuan calendar, that Roger, after a period of secluded life, could no longer bear it physically, and surrendered to the navy.

From then on, the great pirate era began.

But even though I understand it, I still have to go back.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Diarmait walked over to the old man and Lucci and said, "Our headquarters has an urgent task that requires my presence. You can go through the procedures here and fax it back to our headquarters. I will take Lucci with me first." The old man did not dare to object and immediately said, "Yes, Major General." Soon, Diarmait boarded the warship.

A naval lieutenant stood beside him, awaiting his instructions.

"The warship turns around and heads for the Deep Sea Prison. Impelton, notify Impelton to prepare to open the Gate of Justice. We will ride the ocean current and return to Marineford as quickly as possible (good luck, King)." Diarmait said without hesitation.

When he came, he was not in a hurry, thinking that he had finally led a warship out to sea alone, so it would not hurt to wander around for a while.

So I came to the welfare home along the normal route.

But going back was obviously much more urgent. This place was the closest to Impelton and could be reached in half a day. From Impelton, one could take the Current of Justice and pass through the Gate of Justice, and it would not take half a day to return to Marineford.

The major was stunned for a moment, but still quickly responded, "Yes, Major General."

Impelton is located in the doldrums, and is indeed very close to here, but the route is also very dangerous, as there are many sea kings.

Originally, the major was going to remind Diarmait, but then he thought, Major General Diarmait’s strength has been proven, a mere sea king... doesn’t seem like a big deal?

Soon, the warship left the welfare home island and headed rapidly towards the doldrums.

After entering the doldrums, the outer wheel mechanism began to operate.

Nowadays, although the navy has foreign ship technology, the seastone inlay technology that can shield the attention of sea kings to the greatest extent in the future has not yet been developed. Therefore, unless necessary, few warships go to the doldrums.

Only those with great skill and courage like Diarmuid could be so confident.

Chapter 50: Diarmait, who has never truly experienced iron and blood. (rd update)

Marine Headquarters. Marineford.

In Diarmait's office, he was processing the intelligence on the Roger Pirates.

There was a knock on the office door, and before he could say anything, Kuzan pushed the door open and walked in.

"Look, today's newspaper. The sea is definitely going to go haywire..." Kuzan casually threw a newspaper on Diarmait's desk.

Three days had passed, and after returning to headquarters, Diarmait also participated in two meetings.

But as he expected, the navy had no active countermeasures and could not come up with any plan to stop it.

Finally, at the suggestion of General Sengoku, the Marshal agreed to recognize Roger as the "Pirate King" and used this as an excuse to instigate internal struggles among the pirates.

At this point, Roger becoming the Pirate King was officially confirmed.

Diarmuid picked up the newspaper from the table and took a look. It was the news about Roger's domination of the Grand Line. He shook his head helplessly and said, "It's inevitable. Speaking of which, as one of the members who witnessed the birth of the first Pirate King, I am somewhat moved to witness this scene in this era."

"There's nothing to be sad about, right? If you have to be sad, it's the failure of justice." Kuzan glanced at Diarmuid and then sat down on the sofa very casually.

"Don't talk as if everything is over. In my opinion, this may just be the real beginning." Diarmait said with a smile.

I don’t know how the navy responded to this news in the original story.

I guess he was in a panic and very confused, after all, this situation happened too suddenly.

But this time, due to Diarmait's intrusion, the navy was given a preemptive shot, and the senior officials were more or less mentally prepared for this matter.

Therefore, I am mentally pretty okay, not too nervous or panicked.

"The real beginning...?" Kuzan murmured, and didn't dwell on it anymore.

What can we do now that things have already happened? Isn't it better to just take it one step at a time?

"Come to think of it, why are you so leisurely? Didn't Vice Admiral Garp take you to capture Roger?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

Kuzan rolled his eyes at Diarmait and said, "Don't forget, I am now the assistant to General Sengoku, not Mr. Garp." "Ah... I really forgot." Diarmait nodded.

"Mr. Garp has left the headquarters for the New World. He asked me to tell you that he hopes you can sort out the information about Roger's pirate group as soon as possible and provide him with effective intelligence support. Although Roger has become the Pirate King, if we can capture him as soon as possible after this, we may be able to turn this bad situation into a favorable one for us." Kuzan said.

"It's difficult. Actually, there's a question I'm still confused about..." Diarmait shook his head. After a brief pause, he looked at Kuzan seriously and asked, "Kuzan, you said Roger became the Pirate King. What do you think his next move will be? What is his new goal?"

"Of course." Kuzan said without hesitation, but he was stunned halfway through his words.

He originally wanted to say, of course, it’s the pirates who rule the New World and turn the world upside down.
