From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that the Roger Pirates were not a pirate group dedicated to dominating the sea.

As Garp's former deputy, he often came into contact with Roger's pirate group, so he had a relatively good understanding of the Roger pirate group.

Unlike ambitious people like Skiner, the Roger Pirates seem to have no intention of dominating the world (bccj)?

So, what is the goal of Roger's pirate group after becoming the Pirate King group?

Diarmait said calmly, "The more I learn about the Roger Pirates, the more I feel that they are not a group that aims to become the Pirate King and establish their own hegemony. On the contrary, although they have committed countless crimes and are unforgivable, their behavior is more like that of lawless and unscrupulous adventurers..."

Kuzan was silent for a while, then nodded in approval and said, "Indeed, it seems that they don't have any ambition." "So, what do you think they will do after this?" Diarmuid asked again.

Kuzan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't guess it either. How about holding a meeting? Discuss it with the marshal and the Warring States generals?" "Of course, but I have made two judgments." Diarmuid said in a deep voice.

"What?" Kuzan also became interested and asked.

"First, based on the current situation, they have conquered the entire Grand Line. Therefore, their first-stage goal has been achieved. If they continue to maintain their current posture and perspective, perhaps they will become a more adventurous pirate group, dedicated to searching for legendary treasures, such as the Land of Gold, the Sea of ​​Gems, the Emerald City, pure gold, and so on." Diarmait said softly.

Of course, they have found the Land of Gold, but no one knows about it.

Kuzan's eyes lit up and he said, "You make sense. Given their personalities and behaviors, there's a high probability of such a change..."

After a brief pause, Kuzan asked again: "What is your second judgment?"

"Second scenario..." Diarmait pondered for a moment, then said, "The Roger Pirates will disband."

"Impossible! They finally conquered the Grand Line and became the Pirate King. How could they suddenly disband?" Kuzan retorted without hesitation.

"Fame, power, status, wealth, these are what most pirates pursue when they go to sea. Now they have obtained them all. The Grand Line has also been conquered by them. Assuming that the Roger Pirates gathered together for such a common goal, now that the goal has been achieved, it is reasonable for them to disband. After all, these people are very different from ordinary pirates." Diarmuid said in a very calm tone.

"But this is too incredible, isn't it?" Kuzan said with a little hesitation in his heart.

Diarmuid smiled and looked at Kuzan. "The Roger Pirates like to do these incredible things, don't they?" Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right."

"I have already made a summary report on both judgments. I will submit the report to General Zhan Guo later. The specific situation should be handed over to the people above. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and it will not hit me." Diarmuid smiled and said irresponsibly.

Kuzan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Diarmait, if the Roger Pirates really disbanded... what should we do?" Diarmait glanced at Kuzan and said, "What else can we do? Of course, we should find a way to dig them all out and hang them..."

Having said that, it still depends on whether it can be found at that time, and what decision the Navy will make after it is found.

These are not things that Diarmait should consider.

Without discussing such heavy topics anymore, Kuzan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "I heard that you gave a seedling to Mr. Zefa?"

"Well, Rob Lucci, the kid trained at the welfare home. I had a fight with CP-9's commander, Stussy, to get him back." Diarmait said calmly, still sorting out documents in his hands.

"Stusi? I heard she's a very talented person. She manages CP-9 very well and has made many achievements in the past two years... How is it? Did we win?" Kuzan asked.

“Of course, she may be talented in other areas, but in terms of physical strength, I am much stronger than her.” Diarmuid nodded.

After a brief pause, he pondered for a moment, looked at Kuzan, and asked hesitantly, "Speaking of which, Kuzan, what do you think of my strength? What level am I at?"

"I haven't had a proper fight with you, so I'm not sure, but I communicate with Gion often. From what I can see now, although Gion has the rank of brigadier general, her strength is almost at the level of an ordinary lieutenant general. And in her words, you almost crush her... So if we compare horizontally, you should be stronger than an ordinary lieutenant general, but a little worse than us, right?" Kuzan thought for a while and said.

"Really? Why do I always feel that it's unreal?" Diarmait frowned slightly.

Kuzan talked as if he was very powerful, but why couldn't he feel it?

Kuzan glanced at Diarmait and said directly, "That's because you lack a real battle."

"Hmm?" Diarmait was stunned for a moment, looking at Kuzan with some confusion.

"Although you participated in the Battle of Edwor and the capture of the Red Earl, and on the surface you seem very powerful, but from beginning to end, Diarmait, you have never fought a real, hearty battle in which you fully exerted your own strength. Therefore, you yourself do not know how far you can go. This is your biggest disadvantage at the moment! Without such a test of iron and blood, you will never be able to know yourself clearly." Kuzan said directly to the core.

After hearing what Kuzan said, Diarmuid felt as if he had suddenly understood.

Although there was no evidence, he felt that Kuzan was right. The reason why he was confused about his own strength was because he lacked a battle that would allow him to clearly understand himself!

"You were protected too well. Although you almost died at the hands of the Red Earl, that was just an accident. From the very beginning, General Zhan Guo was too partial to you..." Kuzan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Or perhaps, General Zhan Guo is waiting for you to wake up on your own? The fact that you can ask me this question today proves that you have already noticed something is wrong... isn't it?"

"That makes sense." Diarmait nodded seriously.

He felt that he was trying his best, and in fact he did try his best, but from an outsider's perspective, it was indeed an accident.

If you look at it as a whole, it seems like... I've really been protected by the Warring States general...

Perhaps, as Kuzan said, the Warring States General was waiting for him to wake up?

"If you have any difficult field missions, please call me for support." Diarmuid looked at Kuzan and said seriously.

"Hahaha, don't worry, of course I will take care of you." Kuzan laughed.

After finishing the documents, Diarmait stood up and said, "I have to go to the Warring States General to report the intelligence analysis. You are free to do as you please."

After saying this, he ignored Kuzan who was drinking tea and simply left him there, opened the door and left.

Chapter 51: Diarmuid: I think the Roger Pirates will disband!

Diarmuid reported his idea to General Warring States, and the next day, the top naval officials held a meeting to discuss it.

At this time, Marshal Cyborg was sitting at the head seat in the conference room, and various naval leaders sat down at the table one after another.

However, Garp was not there. After the news of Roger becoming the Pirate King came out, Garp had already gone to the New World alone.

Even if he has no information, he is still going to try his luck!

Taking a sip of tea from his cup, Marshal Cyborg spoke, "Today, we have two matters to discuss. The first is regarding Roger's bounty. This fellow has become the so-called 'Pirate King,' and our Navy and the World Government have acknowledged this fact. Therefore, no matter what, we must give him an updated bounty. Let's discuss what the appropriate amount is."

As soon as Marshal Cyborg finished speaking, Sakaski said, "How about 4 billion berries?" At that time, the bounties of the pirates had not yet expanded to the terrifying level in the future.

Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, known as the strongest man in the world, had a bounty of only 546 million berries during the Battle of Marineford.

And now there are still more than 20 years until the Battle of Marineford.

The bounty on Newgate now is only 3.3 billion berries. Although it is still very high, it is much better than what it was later.

Roger's bounty is not as high as Newgate's, the current bounty is only 3.172 billion.

Sakaski raised Roger's offer to four billion berries, which was quite impressive. But as soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino shook his head and said, "Obviously, it's not enough." Sakaski turned to look at Borsalino and asked, "Four billion berries isn't enough?"

"Back then, Rocks' bounty once reached 4.3 billion berries, and Rocks hadn't even become the Pirate King at that time. Now, Roger is the first recognized Pirate King in history. Could it be that his bounty is lower than Rocks'?" Borsalino said calmly.

Sakaski was not a mad dog that would bite anyone it saw. Borsalino's words made sense. After listening to them, he thought about it and nodded, saying, "If you judge it this way, it is indeed not enough." After that, he looked at Major General Diarmuid.

When Diarmait first came to Marineford, Sakaski didn't even bother to communicate with him.

But as Diarmait gradually became more and more popular, Sakaski and Diarmait also began to interact.

Although Diarmuid felt that Sakaski was a little too cruel, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Sakaski in other aspects.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is pretty good.

After Diarmait was promoted to major general, Sakaski began to pay more attention to Diarmait.

Especially this time, Diarmuid judged the purpose of Roger's pirate group in advance and gave the navy a shot in the arm. As a result, Roger really became the Pirate King...

Although Sakaski didn't say it, he still admired Diarmait's judgment of this kind of intelligence.

Seeing Sakaski looking at him, Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him.

Marshal Cyborg also looked at Diarmait and said, "Diarmait, you are always very insightful in matters like this. Tell me what you think."

"Yes, Marshal," Diarmait replied, putting down his teacup. He then looked at the many navy leaders and said, "I think we should first define the Roger Pirates." Admiral Sengoku heard this and asked directly, "What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, his current situation is defined. I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion. Assuming that the Roger Pirates will still be active on the sea, is there any need to change his bounty in the future?" Diarmait asked.

When Diarmait said this, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, Chief of Staff Ahe said in a calm tone: "I think that the Pirate King has been classified to the highest level, and there is no need to add any bounty in the future." After the chief of staff said this, the others also felt that it made sense.

No matter what Roger will do next, it is undeniable that he may not be able to surpass himself. After all, he has already stood at the top of the pirates. What else does he want?

No matter what he does in the future, it can be regarded as a performance based on his identity as the Pirate King, so there is no need to increase the bounty.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Diarmait continued, "In that case, this will be the last time I raise the bounty on Roger. This also sets a ceiling for the bounties of all pirates across the ocean. Unless another Pirate King emerges, no one's bounty will be higher than Roger's. Otherwise, chaos will ensue."

"That's right." Kuzan nodded.

Teacher Zefa looked at Diarmait with a look of satisfaction. This disciple did not disappoint him after all!

"Then I think that in this situation, we must leave some space for the other pirates. Otherwise, if something bad happens in the future, we will be constrained by Roger's bounty and unable to increase the bounty. Isn't that what we deserve?" Diarmait said with a smile.

In fact, when it comes to the level of the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, the bounty more represents the importance the Navy and the World Government attach to them.

As for the actual effect, it is not that great. On the contrary, the higher the bounty, the more it will boost the opponent's power.

After all, at their current situation, it is almost impossible for them to be killed by bounty hunters and then bring their heads to the navy to collect the money.

But if you don’t give it, it won’t work.

After all, the bounty system is here.

"So your suggestion is to raise Roger's bounty very high?" Marshal Cyborg pondered for a moment.

“Yes.” Diarmait nodded in response.

After pondering for a moment, General Zhan Guo spoke, "What Diarmait has said makes sense. We must leave some space for the other pirates, otherwise we will be in trouble in the future. Also, most pirates love fame and fortune, and bounties are a major factor in their competition. If we raise Roger's bounty to a level that's currently unattainable, it will likely inspire their fighting spirit, achieving a kind of flattery effect... If someone like Newgate or Ski really can't stand it and goes looking for trouble with Roger, it would be a good thing for us."

Soon, the other naval leaders discussed the matter one after another.

The navy is very efficient in this kind of thing.

It didn't take long for everyone to unanimously approve Roger's latest additional reward.

Five billion five hundred sixty-four million eight hundred thousand Baileys!

It far exceeds the bounty of more than 2 billion berries offered by Shiqi, Newgate and others.

It can be said that there is no precedent for this. As to whether there will be anyone like him in the future, it depends on the luck of those pirates themselves.

Afterwards, the bounties of everyone in Roger's pirate group also increased to varying degrees.

There is nothing much to say about these.

After finishing the discussion of this matter, Marshal Cyborg knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

Then he spoke, "The second thing is, Diarmait has given two hypotheses about the Roger Pirates' actions at the Intelligence Staff. You should listen to them, Diarmait, and explain them to them."

"Yes, Marshal." Diarmait responded again, stood up and distributed the documents in his hand.

Soon, everyone opened and began to read the documents in their hands.

After everyone had finished reading, Diarmait spoke. "Based on this information, I have come to two conclusions. The first is that the Roger Pirates will begin searching for legendary treasures, such as the Wine of Eternal Life, the Fountain of Youth, pure gold, the Land of Gold, the Emerald City, and so on. This is based on their personalities and behavior. The second conclusion is that the Roger Pirates will disband."

...ask for flowers.

After a brief pause, Diarmait said in a deep voice, "After reporting these two conclusions to Admiral Sengoku and the Marshal, I thought about it again before the meeting and came to my own more weighted opinion. I believe that the Roger Pirates... are very likely to disband!"

"No way? Major General Diarmuid?" Borsalino asked in a strange tone, a little surprised.
