From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Diarmait remained silent, and Stussy then spoke, "Please rest assured, Mr. Bear, all the sins are mine. As long as you abdicate, the World Government will forgive the Solbe Kingdom's past and choose a successor from among the royal family..."

"In other words, as long as I abdicate, I will be solely responsible for all the crimes, and the World Government will let the royal family and the Solbe Kingdom go, right?" Bartholomew Xiong asked.

"Of course, as a punishment, you will be exiled and will never be allowed to set foot in the Kingdom of Solbe again for the rest of your life." Stussy nodded.

Bartholomew. The bear said nothing.

But in fact, he had already accepted this condition in his heart.

He resisted, but ultimately failed.

However, before accepting this failure, he still wanted to retain the dignity of a king.

Thinking of this, Bartholomew the Bear stood up from the throne. He was very tall, almost seven meters tall, like a little giant.

Thanks to his huge body and powerful strength, when he stood up, his momentum and oppression became extremely terrifying.

Stussy felt the pressure from this aura, his heart pounding. He couldn't help but glance at Diarmuid in front of him. Seeing that he looked calm and composed, for some reason, his originally nervous state of mind quickly calmed down.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz" An inexplicable sound came from Bartholomew Xiong's hand.

Bartholomew Kuma walked down from the throne, gathering some energy in his hands.

It’s like holding a transparent sphere in your hand.

It was air. Diarmuid recognized the move. He was compressing the air. This was the Parahuman system. The use of the Meatball Fruit's power was said to be able to deflect anything.

Conceptual things like injuries and fatigue can all pop up.

Of course, Bartholomew Xiong might not be able to develop his abilities to the point where he could even understand concepts.

But I have to say that the Meatball Fruit is very powerful, not inferior to his own Gravity Fruit.

Even Diarmait could not find any flaws in Bartholomew Bear, more than twenty years later.

Strength, just looking at his physique, you can tell that it must be extraordinary and extremely powerful.

Speed. Bartholomew Kuma's speed can reach the point of teleportation with his abilities. He was even able to easily intervene in the duel between Pluto Hilbaz Rayleigh and the Navy Admiral Borsalino. You can imagine how fast he is.

At the same time, his attack power is also very strong, and he can kill the little Oz of the demon tribe in one blow.

At the same time, after he was injured, he could use his ability to bounce back the injury...

There are almost no shortcomings, and this kind of strength is all-round strength.

No wonder this guy was called the 'Invincible Tyrant' after he became a pirate. After being taken away by the Celestial Dragons as a slave, even though he had lost his self-awareness, he was still called the Invincible Slave.

If you think about it carefully, the strength of this 480 guy is really enough to meet the template of "invincible".

Perhaps the transformation he underwent was a weakness? Perhaps it didn't strengthen him at all, but instead weakened him?

But these are all later stories. Diarmuid does not think that Bartholomew the Bear is as strong as he will be twenty years later.

Seeing Bartholomew. The bear made a move, and Diarmuid also put his hand on the long-sleeved Tsunemi Kotetsu.

The ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly, and the solid floor of the palace began to warp at its edges. An invisible gravity, emitting a lavender halo, spread out in all directions with Diarmait as the center.

"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Diarmait looked at Bartholomew.

"Thank you." Bartholomew Xiong replied softly.

The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from Diarmait's sight. His speed was so fast that he could not see clearly. Stussy beside him exclaimed in surprise. If this speed happened to her, she would have no power to resist at all.

"Bear Strike!" Bartholomew shouted. With a single palm strike, he directed the transparent energy in his hand towards Diarmait.

Diarmuid managed to catch up with Bartholomew. True, a bear’s speed. Even though his eyes couldn’t follow, his Observation Haki still managed to keep up.

He grabbed Stussy's body, who was unable to react, with his backhand, and pushed forward with his feet, retreating violently.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel a little elastic under my hand?

The next moment, Bartholomew Xiong slapped the ground with his palm, leaving a paw mark on the ground.

After landing, Stussy looked at Diarmait beside him with a confused look on his face. This guy's hands were still pinching his body.

Although I'm very grateful that this bastard didn't forget to take me with him when he was avoiding Bartholomew Bear.

But your 'bear-catching' transfer technique... isn't it too much?

It hurts! Bastard!

Diarmuid, however, was completely oblivious to this, his gaze fixed on Bartholomew. He retracted his hand, pulled out Chang Zeng Mihutetsu, and said, "You're welcome." As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged!

(Please give me flowers and monthly tickets!).

Chapter 67: Diarmuid's Plans for Stussy!? (th update, plus extra updates with flowers)

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait slashed out with his sword. Invisible gravity carried the slash, instantly lifting all the floor tiles of the entire hall and crashing into Bartholomew with a very brutal momentum.

Just when Diarmait thought Bartholomew the Bear would block the attack, or bounce away and dodge.

Bartholomew, with a look of loneliness on his face, stood there motionless.

The next second, a powerful slash hit him directly. Bartholomew was sent flying backwards, slamming hard onto the throne, smashing it to pieces.

At the same time, this powerful gravity strike destroyed the entire back wall of the hall.

The entire hall was in ruins.

Stussy was stunned. Bartholomew... What a bear!

Known as the most capable fighter in the South China Sea, the CP agency also sent experts to plot against him this year.

As a result, they were all sent on a 'travel' by him.

Whether he was a tyrant or not was meaningless, but Stussy knew very well that Bartholomew Xiong was no joke.

And now, he was killed by Diarmait with just one move?

It's you, Bartholomew. Is the bear too weak, or is Diarmait too strong?

Or are you playing me?

Diarmait slowly put the sword into the scabbard. There was no joy on his face. On the contrary, his brows were furrowed and he looked a little unhappy.

When he had accepted this political mission in Marineford, he had been thinking about gaining some points with the World Government, but he had also been thinking about coming here to have a fight with Bartholomew and assess his progress over the past two years.

What a result, Bartholomew. Doesn't the bear have the will to fight at all?

This made him feel like he was punching nothing but cotton.

I also understood what Dorag had meant before.

Is it precisely because of the country, Bartholomew, that the bear will never win?

"Are you insulting me, Bartholomew Bear?" Diarmait walked to the shattered throne and asked in a deep voice, looking at Bartholomew Bear, who was seriously injured and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Bartholomew took Diarmait's blow completely, without any defense at all. It was really heavy. The bear was indeed seriously injured.

Bartholomew the Bear did not stand up while listening to Diarmait's question. He did not even move.

"No, it's because of you, Rodriguez Diarmait, that I made this choice. You are strong enough to be my last rival as king, and you are enough to preserve my dignity. ... As for why this happened... you destroyed this palace with a single blow. That's the reason," Bartholomew Xiong said softly.

Diarmait looked at his calm expression, and his anger surged in his heart, but in the end he did not take action again.

Bartholomew. The bear's meaning was very clear. Diarmait's destructive power was too strong. He destroyed the palace with one move. If he really wanted to unleash a real fire, I'm afraid the entire capital would be destroyed.

Bartholomew. The bear didn't want to see this, so he just made a symbolic move and accepted the defeat calmly.

Anyway, from the beginning, he couldn't win at all, right?

"It should be a pride and honor for Thorbe to have you as his king." Diarmait glanced at Bartholomew. Xiong said.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without stopping for a moment.

Bartholomew Xiong lay straight on the ruins without saying a word. No one knew what this tyrant was thinking.

Stussy glanced at Bartholomew Xiong, then at Diarmait who was leaving, and quickly took out his Den Den Mushi and called out, "CP-0, please ask Bartholomew Xiong to leave Solbe."

After giving the order, Stussy didn't dare to linger here. It was safer to stay with Diarmait. He caught up with him and said, "Lieutenant General, wait for me."

Diarmuid walked out of the crumbling hall and said without looking back, "Lord Stusi, shouldn't you be here to clean up the mess?"

"There's nothing for me to do, Bartholomew. The bear has given up resistance. Next, we just need to ask him to leave the Kingdom of Solbe and never come back. Our CP mission will be accomplished. As for the new king and the restoration of order, those are the responsibility of other departments. Our CP agency has always been responsible for subversion, not reconstruction." Stussy said with a smile.

"That's really a terrible organization." Diarmait complained.

"You are joking, Lieutenant General." Stussy responded.

Diarmait had no intention of driving her away, so he continued chatting with her while walking towards the port where the warship was.

"Lord Stusi, honestly, are you not interested in joining our navy? There is plenty of room for you to develop in our navy. If I'm not mistaken, you are almost at the end of your time in CP-0, right? I can't possibly give you the position of commander-in-chief, right?" Diarmait suddenly said.

Stussy was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Lord Diarmait, didn't we agree to discuss this matter after you become a general?"

However, Diarmuid's guess was correct on one point, and Stussy herself knew that if nothing unexpected happened, her time in the CP agency would have come to an end.

Now she is a senior operations commander of CP-0, equivalent to the rank of admiral candidate in the Marine Headquarters.

There are two more positions above her that can be promoted. One is the chief, who can command all CP-0 senior operations, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the CP agency.

That means he is not just commanding all members of CP-0, but the entire CP organization, from 0 to 9, must all obey orders.

At the same time, the commander-in-chief only needs to be responsible to the Five Elders, and he has no control over even the ordinary Celestial Dragons.

On the contrary, the three general directors of CP-0 seem to be more focused on dealing with the affairs of the Celestial Dragons.

But whether it was the chief general level or the commander-in-chief level, Stussy felt that he had no hope.

So, as Diarmait said, she probably reached the end of her journey in the CP agency.

Later, Stussy accepted the secret mission and went to the dark world to set up Happy Street because she felt that only by finding another way and finding ways to gain greater power and a more important position could she become a director-level figure.

Even if Stussy hadn't become the Director, her control over Fun Street was enough to make her a vital member of CP-0, the Queen of Fun Street. Stussy, indeed, was someone not even the Director dared to underestimate.

And at that time, she already had the hope of being promoted to director general.

"Really?" Diarmait replied softly, then smiled and said, "What a pity! I had hoped that if Master Stussy had sided with our navy, I would have helped you make a killing this time..."

"Make a big profit?" Stussy was stunned for a moment. She did not doubt whether Diarmuid was fooling her, because such a lie was meaningless.

"How big is it?" Stussy couldn't help but ask again.

"I'm afraid it's the biggest in the past twenty years." Diarmait said with another smile.

I have to say, Stussy was moved.
