From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Who knows, it might be a surprise. Let's suppress it for now and see if (Li Liaozhao) has the chance to find a suitable person to experiment with, or get a new illustration?" Diarmuid murmured.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door and he answered it casually.

Gion, with sparks of electricity flashing on his body from time to time, walked in with an excited look on his face.

"Have you controlled your out-of-control abilities?" Diarmait asked with a smile after looking at her.

"It's almost done. At least there won't be a sudden explosion of massive lightning power. I see Major Scola has already loaded the historical text. Can we leave now?" Gion asked with a smile.

"Well, now that everything that needs to be done is done, it's time to leave." Diarmait nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, put away all the devil fruit encyclopedias, then walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

At this time, the navy scattered in the Golden Country had returned to the warships. As for the Shandians who were supposed to guard this place, Diarmait had not seen any of them.

I guess they're still at war with the people from Angel Island?

This is fine, Diarmait is too lazy to interact with these people.

Now that I have taken Shandora away directly, I have fundamentally resolved the conflict between the Shandians and Angel Island.

Think about it, isn’t this the legendary doing one good deed a day?

Power surged under his feet, and a lavender halo quickly enveloped the entire Shandora. The Golden City, which had remained motionless for hundreds of years, began to tremble under the blessing of Diarmait's power.

"Return!" Diarmait shouted.

Chapter 102: It’s Tianshou’s Day! The Warring States General is Shameless! (Fourth Update)

In the second month after Diarmuid returned to G-1501 in the year 7 of the Haiyuan calendar, the entire expansion project of G-7 was completed.

The next step is to fortify the base. Since this aspect has already been arranged in the initial expansion plans, it is not a difficult project.

All you need to do is fill the already built base with artillery and other related defensive fortifications.

It seems that Diarmait has developed new talents in this guy, Doberman.

He was extremely talented in dealing with the Impelton prisoners and officially became the engineering captain of G-7. With prisoners in his hands, he worked enthusiastically.

In the office, Diarmait was busy planning the development of the Calm Belt.

All matters concerning conscription have been handed over to Gion to arrange. The three countries within the G-7 all support the work of the navy.

After all, this is the era of great pirates. Although this wave has not yet reached the G-7, it is always right to prepare for a rainy day.

The increased strength of the G-7 will also be more conducive to protecting the maritime security of the three countries in the days to come.

Therefore, Gion brought a large number of Baileys to recruit soldiers, and the war went smoothly. "Bulu bulu bulu..." The Den Den Mushi on the table rang. Diarmuid looked up and saw that it was a call from the Warring States general.

He put down his pen, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and asked with a smile, "General Sengoku? Do you have any mission for us G-7?"

"Diarmait? You've ordered seventy warships? Two thousand heavy artillery pieces? Two hundred thousand artillery pieces and ammunition?" General Zhan Guo asked, shocked. Diarmait smiled and said, "Yes, but General, you're still responsible for all these logistical matters. You're really not afraid of getting tired..."

The Warring States general was speechless. Logistics matters were handled by people specifically in charge of logistics.

It’s just that because G-7 is Diarmait’s territory, the Warring States generals will occasionally pay attention to the developments in this area.

After all, he and the Marshal and others were still waiting for Diarmait's grand plan to develop the Calm Belt. Half a year had passed, and there had been no movement from Diarmait.

Today, I suddenly made some inquiries and found out that this guy had actually ordered seventy warships from our headquarters, as well as a huge reserve of artillery, guns and ammunition.

The warships alone cost 14 billion Baileys. In total, the 2,000 heavy artillery pieces and the huge ammunition reserves cost almost 40 billion Baileys.

The generals of the Warring States Period were all dumbfounded.

"Where did you get so much money? I remember that when G-7 handed over to you, it only had a military reserve of more than billion Beli? But our headquarters has already received gold worth nearly billion Beli that you shipped. Have you developed a gold mine in the Calm Belt? You should report this matter to me as soon as possible. It is not a good habit for Diarmait to eat alone!" asked the Warring States general.

"I'm still writing my plan for the Doldrums development, but it hasn't been actually implemented yet. A few days ago, I sent three warships into the Doldrums to investigate and see if there are any suitable islands nearby. I'll build a transit station first, and then I plan to find some geological exploration professionals to go in with the warships to see if there are any resources or minerals on the nearby islands." Diarmait said with a smile.

"Has it not been implemented yet?" asked the Warring States general with some doubt.

"No, how could I possibly hide such a thing from you, General?" Diarmait said with a smile again.

"It hasn't been confirmed yet. Where did you get so much gold?" the Warring States general asked curiously.

"I went to Sky Island earlier and found the legendary city of gold. Shandora, I brought the entire Shandora to G-7, right next to the base. There are 7 navy guarding it. That's a whole city's worth of gold. I roughly estimate that it's worth more than one trillion berries. To put it simply, my G- will not be short of money in the next ten years. A mere tens of billions of berries of gold is nothing." Diarmait said very arrogantly.

Warring States general? ? ?

"What did you say? The Land of Gold???" the Warring States general asked in a daze.

“Yes!” Diarmait replied.

The legend of the Land of Gold is still very popular on the sea, saying that four hundred years ago, there was a great liar, such as Wen Bran and Rolando.

However, this legendary treasure has never been found, so not many people believe it now and just treat it as a joke and a story.

Then Diarmait suddenly said that he had found the Land of Gold, harvested an entire city's worth of gold, and the G-7 Naval Base. Did he suddenly turn from a pauper into a wealthy man?

"Are you kidding?" the Warring States general asked again in disbelief.

How come this guy is so lucky?

Just go out and take a walk, and you will find the land of gold?

"Am I kidding? If you, General, want to see the splendor of the Golden City, you are welcome to visit G-7!" Diarmait laughed.

"How did you know about the Land of Gold?" the Warring States general asked again.

"Huh? I reported this matter to headquarters two years ago?" Diarmait was stunned.

"What? How come I don't know?" The Warring States general was confused again.

"How is that possible? I have written a report specifically for you, Admiral. Do you remember that one time, regarding the matter of the non-existent organization, you asked me to raise money myself. Later, I submitted two reports to you. One was about the Jade Glacier, the treasure of the Eight Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers, and the other was about the secret news of the Golden Land of Sky Island. But later, Vice Admiral Garp and I opened the Jade Glacier, and the funds of the non-existent organization were sufficient. I also handed over a large sum of wealth to the headquarters, so we didn't look for the Golden Land anymore. When I came to G-7, I found that I was very short of money. Then I thought of this legendary treasure and personally took people to Sky Island." Diarmuid explained.

Warring States general? ? ?

What the hell are you talking about?

He vaguely remembered this matter, as if Diarmait had really reported the situation to him.

But at that time he only regarded this as a legend and a story, and did not take it seriously at all. After all, who the hell would believe that Diarmait said he was going to find the Land of Gold and that he could actually find it after just one trip?

I thought you were kidding me!

So you're serious?

For a moment, General Zhan Guo was heartbroken. Damn it, just because of a slight negligence, his headquarters lost at least trillions of Baileys worth of gold.

That's the gold of an entire city.

It is even very likely that it is not just a trillion Pounds, but two or three trillion, or even more.

In particular, the Land of Gold is very famous, and it is a legend from four hundred years ago. If we estimate it based on antiques, its value may continue to rise!

"Ahem, Diarmait, our headquarters did receive your report on this matter. To be honest, I was just preparing to form a fleet to go to Sky Island for investigation these days, but I didn't expect that you would get there first..." General Warring States suddenly spoke in a much gentler tone.

Diarmait became alert and said, "I don't trust you at all. You old man are such a bad guy!"

"Really? That's a pity. General Warring States, you didn't tell me earlier." Diarmuid pretended not to understand.

The Warring States general choked, then said, "Well, as the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. Our department is also in a tight financial situation. I think it would be better to divide this golden land among us..."

"General Warring States, according to our regulations and the new base law of 1497, the naval base has financial autonomy, and the seized funds can be retained for the base's military use. I didn't use a single berry for myself, so I didn't violate the new base law at all. According to the regulations, our department can't..." Diarmuid quickly interrupted General Warring States.

I finally got rich, but before I can even warm up to the stuff, you already want to come and rob the rich?

Isn’t it too inhumane?

"I've read your planning report. G-7's current plan is to increase its military strength to 7. You've already built most of your fortresses and other things. With the Golden Land in your hands, a -man force should last you at least twenty years. Why bother? You can't even spend it all. Why not give it to our headquarters first? I'll allow you to keep billion berries as development funds for G-, okay? It should be enough for you to spend for several years!" General Zhan Guo said again. ...Please give me flowers.

"Two hundred billion? General, my town of gold is valued at at least ten billion berries. I even think it should be at least two trillion berries. You come up and take away nine-tenths, or even more, and leave me two hundred billion? Is this appropriate? Well, I, Diarmait, am not a person without filial piety. This headquarters is my home, and I rely on everyone to take care of it. I have decided to donate three hundred billion berries worth of gold to this headquarters in the name of the G-7 base as a token of our appreciation. Is that okay?" Diarmait said quickly.

Although he has not figured out how to spend this golden land, and it may even take more than ten years to spend it all, he is reluctant to give it away!

General Zhan Guo was so angry at Diarmait's petty words that he almost pulled his beard off. He cursed and said, "Diarmait, do you want to quit? Do you believe that I will transfer you back to the headquarters from G-7 right now? I tell you, this golden land today, you have to give it to me whether you want or not! If you make me, Zhan Guo, angry, I won't leave you even billion!"

Diarmait???

Damn it, since you can’t reason with me, you’re just going to rob me?

"Admiral, you are the admiral of the navy! You should be the embodiment of justice, maintaining fairness and justice on the sea. Now you are even going to rob your subordinates of their money? When did our navy become such an army? Is there still law? Is there still justice? Don't you want the reputation of a Warring States general for decades?" Diarmait shouted aggrievedly.

"What reputation do I want from the Warring States? Hand over the Land of Gold, and you can ruin my reputation as much as you want. I don't want this old face anymore! As for our navy and so on, you have dragged out the prisoners from Impelton and used them as slaves. What are you still talking about the law? Even if you tell the whole story today, you have to give me a big share of the Land of Gold!" said the general of the Warring States shamelessly.

Is this the responsibility of a navy admiral?

As long as it's good for the navy as a whole, reputation and face, why not just say no?

"Just rob it?" Diarmait said angrily.

"That's right, I'm robbing!" said the Warring States general righteously.

After a brief pause, he whispered, "Diarmait, you're not going to spend your whole life in G-7. Sooner or later, you'll become a general, so when that happens, won't you have to return to headquarters? So if this headquarters is strong, you'll be strong in the future. Trust me, leave this money with me. Think of it as me saving it for you. When you become a general, you can spend it... Okay?"

Diarmait???

This is the same trick my mother used when I asked me for New Year’s money when I was a child!

He said he would return it to me when I grew up, but even after I traveled through time, he still didn't return it to me!

"Four hundred billion, I want to keep four hundred billion!" Diarmait said harshly.

He could see that the generals of the Warring States period had been driven to shamelessness, and it was really impossible to preserve the land of gold.

I figured I couldn't spend it all, and what General Zhan Guo said made sense. I couldn't stay in G-7 forever. Sooner or later, I'd have to return to headquarters and become a general or a marshal. …

In the end, it doesn't matter whether the headquarters used the money to strengthen the military or really saved it for themselves.

When you become a general or a marshal, won't it still fall into your hands?

In fact, at the beginning, Diarmait was somewhat mentally prepared. He knew that this land of gold could not remain in his hands forever. If it fell into his hands, he would not be able to spend it, and it would just be gold, useless. If it fell into the hands of the headquarters, it would quickly transform into a stronger force, which would benefit the entire navy. However, he did not expect that Admiral Sengoku had such a talent for being a pirate... Earth.

Chapter 103 Kuzan: You still say that your relationship with Gion is pure? (Five more, plus more flowers!)

At the Marine Headquarters, Marineford, on the coastline, a large group of admirals gathered together, gazing at the vast golden land in the distance. Shandora.

They all had shocked expressions on their faces, all overwhelmed by the aura of Shandora's wealth and grandeur.

Diarmait bit a cigar and sat on a rock on the shore. He looked at the big guys with a very unhappy expression and muttered, "Hmph, country bumpkins." The Warring States general was so persistent and coaxed that he finally tricked Diarmait into giving him the land of gold.

Diarmait also left 7 billion berries with the G-. To be honest, it was enough and he didn't even know how to spend it.

Then, General Warring States asked Diarmait to quickly send the Golden City to the headquarters. He felt unsafe with trillions of berries left at G-7 even with Diarmait there.
