From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Looking at Garp's expression, Diarmait knew that he had made his choice. Even though many things had changed because of him, Garp still softened his heart.

"Alas, meeting Roger ruined my life." Diarmait sighed in his heart and said nothing more.

(Big guys, give me some more flowers!)

Chapter 74: Why don't you give me a general position? (Update )

Sure enough, that afternoon, the five warships led by General Zhan Guo arrived at Batlila Island very quickly.

Diarmait was already standing at the port, waiting for the big boss to get off the ship. He felt a little guilty. This was the first time he had cheated Zhan Guo in the past few years in the navy. He hoped that the consequences would not be too serious.

Garp didn't come to greet him. He was thick-skinned and not afraid of being chased for his many debts. He was secretly worried on the warship.

As soon as General Zhan Guo's warship came to a stop, he walked down from the ship with Kuzan.

He had a stiff expression on his face and looked very angry.

Kuzan, who was following behind him, smiled and winked at Diarmait, which made Diarmait feel a little more at ease.

He was a coward when he needed to be. Diarmait was not a man of great integrity.

As soon as the Warring States general landed, he rushed forward, with a shameless look on his face, and greeted him: "General Warring States, thank you for your hard work in rushing here."

Seeing Diarmait's eagerness, the Warring States general felt a little softened. Although the boy had been a bit reckless this time, it looked like nothing had happened. However, his expression remained stern. He snorted coldly, "It's nothing compared to your hard work, Lieutenant General Diarmait, huh." "No, no, I'm not working hard. Everything is for justice," Diarmait said shamelessly.

"How dare you talk about justice with me? This time, such an important matter, you actually dared to hide it from the headquarters and suppress the news for two whole days!? If anything goes wrong here, no one can save you, Diarmuid. If you can't give me a suitable reason and explanation today, don't blame me for being ruthless. No matter what, I will send you to the military court to teach you a lesson!" said the Warring States General viciously.

But Diarmait had already heard the Warring States general's intention to protect him, so as long as Diarmait could give a reasonable reason, he could help cover up the matter.

Otherwise, just wait for the beating.

Diarmuid was deeply touched by the kindness of the Warring States general.

Even though I acted like this, this elder still cared about me.

But as for the explanation and reasons, he had naturally already prepared them.

Therefore, as soon as the Warring States General finished speaking, Diarmuid said, "Indeed, I have a legitimate reason. You know, I came to the South Sea this time to deal with the affairs of the Solbe Kingdom and to find that guy Dorag.

At this point, General Zhan Guo thought of Dorag again and asked, "By the way, what about that Dorag guy?"

"He ran away. I can confirm that he is now a person with unknown abilities. It feels a bit like a natural person and can control the wind. I fought with him, but I couldn't do anything to him. He didn't seem willing to fight me head-on, so he found an opportunity to run away." Diarmait said in a deep voice.

Admiral Sengoku didn't blame anyone for anything. After all, Dragon was the leader of the new generation of the navy. Even Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan and others were inferior to him.

Even though Diarmuid has caught up with Sakaski and others in terms of strength in the past few years, Dorag is probably also improving. It is hard to say whether he can be defeated, let alone capture that guy alive.

The Warring States generals were not surprised that he could escape, it was reasonable.

"Have you figured out what that guy wants to do? Why did he leave the navy?" General Zhan Guo asked again.

Diarmait nodded, then said, "I've figured out a little bit. He seems to be planning to form a secret organization to fight against the World Government. I'm not sure what his intentions are, but he is very hostile to the World Government. I guess he wants to overthrow it. As for our navy, although he doesn't say it, I can see that he still has some feelings for us and doesn't intend to become our enemy..."

"Can he bypass our navy by being an enemy of the World Government? If this bastard really has such an idea, we will run into him sooner or later." General Warring States said in a deep voice.

At the same time, he was also a little worried. The Navy had really put all its efforts into training Drago. Both Warring States and Marshal Steel Bone regarded him as a direct descendant of the Navy. They both thought that Drago would carry the banner of the Navy in the future.

It is precisely because of this kind of dedicated training, coupled with Dorag's own hard work.

Therefore, it can be said that Dorag is good at both civil and military affairs. He is not only a talented general, but also a talented commander.

If this guy is determined to cause trouble with the World Government, General Sengoku feels that he can still do something.

Because of this, I'm even more upset. Damn it, the Navy spent so much energy, and in the end, they cultivated a dangerous person...

Isn't this a scam?

But since Dorag hadn't made any move yet, the Warring States General stopped dwelling on it and glared at Diarmuid again, saying, "Keep making excuses."

Diarmait smiled awkwardly and said, "How can it be an excuse? This is the truth."

After a brief pause, he continued, "After finishing the Batlila Island incident, I chatted with CP-0's operations commander, Stussy, and the topic came up regarding Roger. She mentioned that there was intelligence on Roger's whereabouts on Batlila Island. I thought it might be that our headquarters also had relevant information. But as you know, Admiral, intelligence about Roger surfaces every few days across the ocean, and it's impossible for our navy to take it all seriously. I didn't take it seriously at the time, so I didn't report it immediately."

The Warring States general nodded. These were all true and he believed them.

As for Diarmait, no one would think that he could really predict the future and make such a reasonable judgment.

"But since we were already here, we might as well take a look, so I went to Batlila Island with Stussy. ... Turns out, Roger was actually there. The situation was urgent, with the warship docked in the harbor, and Roger must have known about it. I was worried he would escape at all costs, so I went to the island alone to see him and try to calm him down. Roger was seriously ill and probably knew he didn't have much time left, so he asked me to see Vice Admiral Garp. Otherwise..." Diarmuid paused for a moment before continuing, "Admiral, you know, even if he's seriously ill, he's still the Pirate King. A cornered beast, with no way out and injured, can do anything. So, that's how it all happened. I agreed and contacted Vice Admiral Garp first. Then, on the third day, Roger surrendered."

The Warring States general looked at Diarmait with some helplessness. What this guy said was all right and logical, but he always felt that there was something wrong.

But after looking at Diarmait again, he sighed and finally didn't bother with anything anymore. No matter what the real story was, Diarmait had caught Roger after all.

I have arrived now, and nothing happened to Roger, so the outcome is good.

As for what kind of mess is going on here, it involves Cap and Diarmait, both of whom are people he trusts very much.

It seemed that it would not be disadvantageous to the navy. Considering the messy past between Garp and Roger, Sengoku was too lazy to pursue it.

"Remember this excuse. No matter who asks you in the future, you should use this reason. Do you understand?" The Warring States general glared at Diarmuid.

Diarmuid heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that General Zhan Guo had let him go. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, General, don't worry, this is the truth!"

Until then, Kuzan came up with a smile and said, "That's amazing, Diarmait. I have never seen such good luck in my life. You even caught Roger." Kuzan really admired Diarmait's luck. In the Battle of Edwall, Diarmait strongly requested to advance into the storm, and as a result, the navy won a great victory for nothing.

Then his feet suddenly felt empty, cracking the deck and harvesting a top-tier, superhuman gravity fruit.

When he followed the Marshal to G-1 to do the most ordinary guard mission, he ran into the Red Earl and captured him.

He thought his luck was about to end, but after two years of lying dormant, he came to the South China Sea on a political mission and unexpectedly managed to capture the Pirate King Roger without any effort.

This is fucking unique!

Diarmait also smiled happily and said, "This is my luck, it can't be stopped..."

Changing the subject, Diarmait asked General Warring States, "General, I've captured Roger. Isn't that a tremendous achievement? What kind of reward will I receive? Tell me... is there any chance?" At this point, Diarmait raised his eyebrows in a serious manner, as if making a 'crazy suggestion'. General Warring States laughed in anger and said, "Is there any chance?"

"Well... I see that Mr. Zefa is no longer in charge of things. The responsibilities of the three admirals are all on you. You must be feeling uncomfortable, right? As your junior, of course I want to share your worries and solve your problems. Can this merit help me become an admiral?" Diarmuid asked shamelessly.

Seeing Diarmait like this, General Warring States found it a little funny. Diarmait was not like this before, but since his strength increased greatly and he was promoted to lieutenant general, he seemed to have let himself go and became much thicker-skinned.

However, General Zhan Guo didn't feel disgusted. On the contrary, he felt that this Diarmait seemed more real and approachable. Zhan Guo had always known that Diarmait desired greater power and status, so his inquiry and ambition were not surprising. However, he still reached out and knocked Diarmait on the head, saying, "Don't even think about it. What do you think of being a general? Can you just do it casually?" "Even if I capture Roger, I can't do it?" Diarmait asked helplessly.

But he was not surprised. After all, he didn't hold out much hope. He asked with the mentality of giving it a try. What if it worked?

After all, the crying child gets the milk.

"If you can capture Roger with your brute force, I can find a way to try. But now, you have done enough. No matter what, capturing Roger is a fact. Your merit is greater than anything else, but your strength... you are not worthy of being a general. If I soften my heart and let you come up, then I am not helping you, but harming you." The Warring States general said in a gentle tone.

After a brief pause, General Zhan Guo said again: "What's more, you have only been in this headquarters for a few years? You have been promoted quickly enough, and it is not appropriate to sit in the position of general now." Diarmait secretly complained in his heart, although my position is considered fast, but twenty years later, a world is recruiting soldiers, and the navy directly airdrops two generals. Doesn't anyone think it is inappropriate?

However, he also knew that the times had changed and the navy was also gradually changing. At that time, it was already the most chaotic and evil generation in the Great Pirate Era, but now, even the Great Pirate Era had not yet begun.

The internal ideological changes of the navy were naturally not so violent and wild.

As for strength, although Diarmait was very confident, he did not become arrogant. The admiral of the navy really had to carry the banner of the world's top combat power, and he really couldn't do it at the moment.

It's still a little bit off.

"Yes, General, I understand." Diarmuid nodded and responded with a smile.

Seeing that Diarmuid was not angry or upset, the Warring States general secretly admired him in his heart. Sure enough, although this kid was naughty sometimes, he would still listen to advice.

As for Diarmuid being appointed as the general, General Warring States also began to think about it, and it seemed that there was nothing inappropriate?

Then wait a few years, train this kid, and give him such an opportunity in the future.

Right

Chapter 75: Diarmuid is the beloved of the Warring States general!? (Second update)

Of course, Diarmait captured Roger this time, so no matter what, the credit goes to him.

No one can take it away, and no one can pretend not to see it.

Otherwise, will the navy generals still be able to work so hard in the future?

Therefore, General Zhan Guo reached out and patted Diarmait on the shoulder, and said: "When we return to the headquarters and all Roger's affairs are dealt with, I will work for you to get the credit." "Yes, General." Diarmait nodded in response.

After a brief pause, the Warring States general said, "You should think about it during this time and see if there is any base you like. Then I will let you go out to train." Diarmait's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This is obviously one of the merits of promotion. In the naval bases of Sihai, most of the officers and colonels of the headquarters have to be directly demoted two levels. It is meaningless to have the title of branch officer in front of them.

Of course, there were also a few like Smoker in the future, who, although fishing in the East China Sea, were still colonels of the headquarters.

But within the Grand Line, whether it is the first half or the second half, the naval bases are all commanded by people directly sent by the headquarters.

Therefore, the base commander will no longer hold the branch rank, but will still hold the headquarters rank.

The commanders of each base are all powerful figures in the navy.

It is very normal for a stronger naval base to have tens of thousands of troops under its command.

Usually, these bases are responsible for suppressing pirates in the surrounding waters and protecting the member states within the range from invasion.

Most of the time, the base commander is rotated among the elite vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

Judging from the time when Diarmait was promoted to lieutenant general, it has been less than half a year, so it is not his turn to be the leader of this place.

Command tens of thousands of navy soldiers, become a real general, and guard a region.

But the Warring States general was going to give him a break this time. It seemed that Roger's contribution was still very great.

At the same time, Diarmuid also felt that his words of "asking for the general" had some effect.

A naval admiral, of course, cannot just be able to fight, he must also be able to command the navy.

There is no need to say much about Fujitora and Green Bull who were recruited from the world in the future, but the requirements for the admirals at this stage are still quite high.

Letting Diarmait go out to be the base commander is naturally training him and allowing him to accumulate some experience in independently managing the base. Once he makes achievements and combines his merits, it would be reasonable for the Warring States generals to promote him again, and no one can say anything.

For Diarmait, although he would have to leave Marine Headquarters and Marineford for a while, this was indeed a good opportunity.

What's more, the navy's communication technology is not bad now. If you want to participate in the affairs of Marineford, you can also use Den Den Mushi, video conferencing, etc.

More importantly, becoming the commander of a naval base means that he has great power. He can do many things that are difficult to do in Marineford in the base.

Suppressing his excitement, Diarmuid looked at General Zhan Guo and said, "Yes, I will not let you down, General."

"Well, be more mature when the time comes and don't be so rash." The Warring States general nodded and warned.

"Hey, I see." Diarmait said with a smile.

After dealing with Diarmait, General Sengoku boarded Diarmait's warship and started communicating with the depressed Garp.

Diarmuid did not join in the fun. He had already done what he needed to do. Roger was also in custody. Admiral Sengoku and Garp were also there. Even if he wanted to struggle now, he couldn't.
