From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

While Diarmuid was thinking about this, Marshal Cyborg said, "Regarding the credit for capturing Roger, we will make arrangements after the execution. Right now, the execution is the most important thing, and we must not make any mistakes."

In the navy, Diarmait captured Roger single-handedly, there is no doubt about that.

But in the entire world, it was the navy that captured Roger, so it was not only Diarmait who was credited, but many people in the navy would also benefit from it.

Of course, Diarmait also had preparations. For example, Dauberman could be promoted to major general this time.

General Zhan Guo was left alone by the Marshal to arrange the execution. Diarmuid and the others had nothing to say, so they left the office together.

Sakaski then walked up to Diarmait, put on a stiff smile and said, "Well done, Diarmait."

To be honest, Sakaski's smile is really ugly, it would be better if he didn't smile.

But Diarmait could hear the sincerity in his words, and he was not trying to provoke him.

What's more, he has had a good relationship with Sakaski in recent years, and Sakaski has no reason to provoke him.

Given Sakaski's personality and his sense of justice, Diarmait was probably genuinely happy that he had captured Roger. Diarmait also smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Well, I have other things to attend to, so I won't say much. If you have time, come to my house." Sakaski nodded and said softly. Diarmait didn't refuse him and said happily, "Okay, I will definitely come when I have time." Diarmait had some understanding and understanding of people like Sakaski.

Sakaski is undoubtedly a rare military talent. He is brave and capable, and he is also very powerful. If used well, he is definitely a good sword.

In this regard, the Warring States generals did quite well in the future.

In his hands, Sakaski exerted great power and became one of the Navy's trump cards.

Moreover, the Warring States generals were very capable and they had the three generals under their control. That period could be considered the peak period of the navy.

Especially in the Battle of Marineford, it seems that the navy has gathered all its strength, but in fact, it is not. For example, the admiral candidates and Gion did not appear at all.

But just this alone was enough to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop, which was enough to show how powerful the navy was at that time.

Of course, the Battle of Marineford was a bit strange, as if everyone except Sakaski was just an actor. …But even so, they still won, which further proves the strength of the navy.

At the same time, General Zhan Guo seemed to have realized that Sakaski was only suitable to be a general, not a marshal, because Sakaski had too strong a personality. To be a marshal, one must look at both skills and ability, especially when shouldering the future of the entire navy. A marshal must not act on impulse, and must give way when necessary and take the lead when necessary.

But Sakaski is one of those people who truly says, "I have no sympathy for evil."

Marshal Zhan Guo was afraid that he could not control himself and accidentally led the navy into trouble.

Therefore, he would rather let the gentler Kuzan take over the position of marshal.

It's just that Kuzan didn't live up to expectations, and in the end it was Sakaski who took over.

In the early days of Sakaski's reign, the navy was indeed in a very difficult situation, and conflicts within the navy broke out all of a sudden.

He, the marshal, even had a fight with the admiral, forcing Fujitora Ichisho not to return to the naval base. The two of them cursed each other on the Den Den Mushi.

This is incredible to think about. Whether it was Zhan Guo or Gang Gu, when the two of them were marshals, which general would dare to do such a thing?

Which marshal would create such a situation of internal conflicts and contradictions?

This was enough to show Sakaski's shortcomings in this aspect, but it was later proved that Sakaski had changed.

For example, in the Wano Country incident, Borsalino tested Sakaski's attitude, but Sakaski did not show any intention of rushing in.

Obviously grown up a bit.

Sure enough, suffering a loss always makes people remember it.

Diarmuid has always set his minimum goal as the position of admiral, and his more ambitious goal is to strive to become the admiral of the navy.

At present, judging from the attitude of the navy's top brass, there should be plenty of opportunities for the admiral. There is no need to worry about it for now, just take it one step at a time.

As for the Marshal's words, there is no need to think too much about them now, but they may come in handy in the future.

Therefore, Diarmuid has always tried his best to maintain a good relationship with a brave and combative naval elite like Sakaski, even though he has some shortcomings in his character.

If he could maintain this kind of relationship, when he becomes the marshal in the future, he might be able to truly integrate all the forces within the navy, just like in the Warring States period, and prevent the navy's combat effectiveness from being dragged down by internal struggles.

This was a good thing for Diarmait.

After Sakaski left, Kuzan said, "You two have a good relationship."

"It's better than you and him. After all, we are colleagues. How come you two are so incompatible?" Diarmuid looked at Kuzan with some amusement.

"What else can I do? It just became like this inexplicably. I don't like him and he doesn't like me. Our concepts of justice are completely opposite. It just happened naturally. But there's nothing to be surprised about. Some people can get along after just meeting once, like you and me. Some people can't stand each other even after living together day and night, like him and me. This is all common sense in the world and there's no need to pursue it." Kuzan waved his hand.

"Hahahaha, you're right." Diarmait laughed.

"I won't say much to you. I have to get busy too. I must have a lot of things to do right now. As the general's assistant, Mr. Zhan Guo will not forgive me if I slack off. Let's have a drink together when we have time. Goodbye." Kuzan said with a smile.

"Okay, I don't have any problems here, but I've been drifting on the sea for so long, it's time for me to rest up. The general may give me a chance to guard a region, so I'll go and look around the sea and see which base I like." Diarmait replied with a smile.

Then, the two said goodbye and left.

Right

Chapter 77 I, the Sin-Killer Diarmait! (Fourth update)

Marineford, Officer Training Camp.

No, nowadays, it should be called a 'Military Academy'.

At present, this originally fledgling "cram school" has become a formal military academy of the Navy.

The president of this academy is none other than General Zefa.

As he said, he originally proposed to retire, but his request was not approved. Therefore, he still holds the rank of general and has completely retired from the front line.

At this time, Diarmuid was chatting with Teacher Zefa in the principal's office.

The principal's office is very simple, nothing fancy nor low-key and luxurious, just ordinary, with a tough style, not much different from Admiral Zefa's previous office.

There is a calligraphy hanging on the wall with the words "Keep moving forward courageously" written on it.

Was this calligraphy written by a navy admiral? It was written by Sengoku. Admiral Sengoku had always been a cultured man, unlike the rough and tumble people like Garp.

He also loves calligraphy. For example, in his office, there are four big characters hanging on the wall: "Jun-Lin Tianxia".

It also expresses his lifelong ambition, which is to hope that the navy, with justice, will rule the world and protect the world.

As for the words here of Zefa, they naturally represent the expectations of the Warring States generals for this military academy.

I hope that the students who come out of here will be able to forge ahead and bring glory to the navy in the future!

"These people are really crazy, right? I'll remember this Morgans. Don't let him fall into my hands again!" Diarmuid cursed while holding a newspaper in his hand.

Teacher Zefa was brewing tea with a smile on his face, looking happy and relaxed.

"They didn't slander you in the newspaper, did they? On the contrary, they praised you highly, saying that you are a representative of the new generation of the navy, and will definitely shine on the sea in the future. You are worthy of attention. Why do you want to cause trouble for them?" Teacher Zefa asked with a smile.

"The reputation that the newspaper has given me is too bad!" Diarmuid said very unhappily.

Within the Navy and among a small number of people outside, Diarmuid was known as the 'violent tiger of the Navy Headquarters' because of that bastard Cap.

At first, Diarmait refused. After all, it was said that he got this title by beating up the marshal and forcing Garp to jump off the building.

But as time went by, it became more or less a respectful title, and Diarmait no longer minded it.

I have accepted this title.

Now, Morgans seems to have understood the Navy's intention and started praising him. This should be something to be happy about.

But this guy Morgans insisted on giving Diarmait the title of "Evil Killer".

That's right, after capturing Roger, the Navy intended to train Diarmait to become a benchmark for the new generation. Morgans seemed to have seen this intention and followed the fishing reel.

Perhaps in his opinion, Garp was called the "Hero of the Navy" back then, and now Diarmait has emerged and captured the Pirate King, so his popularity should not be less than Garp.

Therefore, the title of "Evil Slayer" was introduced and given to Diarmait.

Others thought it was normal, such as Teacher Zefa, who didn't think there was anything wrong. But Diarmuid looked at the title and felt that it was very careless. The word "evil killer" sounded a bit low-end and low.

He doesn't want this title at all. He is even worse than the Fierce Tiger.

The thought of being recognized by someone while walking on the sea in the future and having them shout, "It's him, the Sin Slayer!"

Diarmait could not bear that scene, it was no less than social death.

It’s so embarrassing!

You might as well call me the 'Messenger of Justice'.

But go to hell!

"Evil Killer, that's great, what's so bad about it? I think Zhan Guo and the others intend to train you to be a role model for the new generation, so don't let us down." Teacher Zefa said with a smile.

Diarmait said with a rather grim expression, “I will definitely not disappoint you, teachers. However, please don’t use the title of Sin Slayer anymore. I really can’t stand it. I’m even worse than the Fierce Tiger…”

"Haha, young people are just too concerned about their reputation." Teacher Zefa joked.

Throwing the disturbing newspaper aside, Diarmait took a sip from his teacup and said, "Teacher, are there any promising young talents recently? Who knows, after Roger's execution is over, I might be sent out to become a base commander. If there are any promising young talents, please recommend them to me first, hahahaha."

"I knew you had ulterior motives when you came to see me. You always think about my baby." Zefa glared at Diarmuid.

But he soon laughed again, shook his head and said, "There are some seedlings, but they may not be to your liking."

After he finished speaking, he threw a list on the table to Diarmait and said, "Take a look and see if there is anyone you like."

As the principal, Mr. Zefa naturally hopes that the children he has trained can have a better future. As a rising supernova in the navy, Diarmait is sure to have a bright future. If someone can really work under Diarmait, it will certainly be a good thing.

So even though Mr. Zefa cursed with his mouth, his body was still very honest.

Diarmait flipped through the list and took a look. He didn't recognize anyone. He scratched his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it. Maybe next time."

Teacher Zefa rolled his eyes at Diarmait but didn't force anything on him. After all, this kind of thing still depends on personal preference. At the beginning, Diarmait took a liking to Doberman at first sight and took him away directly. Isn't Doberman doing well now?

Judging from Roger's involvement in this matter, it is impossible for Dauberman not to be promoted. It is estimated that after the execution, he will be promoted to the position of major general.

"If you don't like it, then you don't like it. What are you talking about next time, you little brat?" Teacher Zefa complained.

He was actually a little regretful. There was really nothing outstanding among the seedlings of this class, but that was normal. If every class could produce monsters like Kuzan, Sakaski, Diarmuid, Borsalino, Gion, and Kake, the navy would have flattened the ocean long ago.

"You just said that you were going to be sent abroad?" Teacher Zefa asked.

He chose to focus on the military academy, so naturally there were many naval matters that he didn't pay attention to. Therefore, he didn't know about Zhan Guo's arrangements for Diarmait.

Diarmuid nodded and said, "Yes, I came here today to ask the teacher for advice..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait took out a nautical chart and spread it on the table. Circles and dots were marked on it, indicating the naval bases.

"Teacher, the Warring States general probably wants me to pick whatever I want. What do you think I should choose?" Diarmuid asked with a smile.

"Just pick any one?" Zefa was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "It seems that Zhan Guo really likes you."

"I am a likable person." Diarmuid replied with a smile.
