From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

"How is it possible? I just happened to pass by here, and I was just going to ask the general where you are." Tina said with a smile after putting away the phone bug.Diarmuid didn't get to the bottom of it, he touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, go find something to eat, I invite you." "There are many food stalls on Celebration Street, let me lead the way!" Ti Na said excitedly, and then walked to the front in a few steps.

Diarmuid lifted his sunglasses to his head, touched his chin, took out a cigar, bit it on his mouth and lit it. Looking at Tina's cheerful back, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, Tina." Diarmuid said suddenly.

Tina, who was walking ahead, had a puzzled look on her face when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Diarmuid and said, "Huh? What's the matter? General?"

"It's too obvious to be careful, little girl." Diarmuid walked over with a smile, reached out and rubbed Tina's head, messing up her long pink hair, and then He continued: "Although I am handsome and handsome, powerful and in a high position, don't just fall in love with me..."

After finishing speaking, Diarmuid laughed and walked to the front again.

Tina froze for a moment, then blushed, and said angrily, "What are you thinking about, General!!!" Diarmuid heard the annoyed voice of the girl behind him, without turning his head, General He smiled and walked down the mountain.

By the time they reached Celebration Street, the sun had completely disappeared, and night had shrouded the island.

As expected of a tourist attraction, there are indeed a lot of people here, and there are people coming and going on the celebration street, which is very lively.

Diarmuid walked in front with a bunch of fried skewers in his hand, and Tina followed Diarmuid cursingly with an ice cream in her hand.

"." When I get back to the headquarters, I will take leave and go to G-7 to complain to Miss Gion, saying that your boss has mischievous feelings against his subordinates. "Tina complained while eating ice cream.

Diarmuid bit off a fried skewer in one bite, chewed in his mouth, and muttered: "When did I harbor ill feelings towards you? It's obvious that you, a little girl, have ill feelings towards me, okay?" "How can I!?" Tina said angrily.

"Then why are you always staring at me instead of looking for a romantic encounter?" Diarmuid complained with a smile.

"I...I..." Tina paused for a moment, and then said angrily, "I'm just keeping an eye on you for Miss Gion!" At this moment, Diarmud turned around suddenly, Tina almost bumped her head into Diarmuid's arms.

"What are you doing? Surprised!" Tina complained.

"Gion? Speaking of which, I have nothing to do with Gion, why do you all think I have something to do with her?" Diarmuid rubbed his chin and asked.

Tina looked at Diarmuid with a look of surprise and said, "Who doesn't know, General, you have had many conflicts with Lieutenant General Kake because of Miss Gion. Who would believe what you say now?"

"Really?" Diarmuid rubbed his chin again, and murmured softly: "I always feel that I have been blamed for these things, and I have been suffering (Li Zhaohao), that damned woman in Gion, shouldn't Are you using me as a shield? No, I have to charge her some interest this time when I go back..."

Tina blushed when she heard this, but she still couldn't help asking hesitantly: "What...what interest?" Seeing her appearance, Diarmuid couldn't help but smiled and said, "Children can't know Interest!"

"Tina is not a child, is she? General, I am a lieutenant colonel of the Navy Headquarters! Please respect me a little bit!" Tina said angrily.

"Hahahahaha... children will become angry because of this." Diarmuid laughed.

"Speaking of which, I thought you liked that prickly bastard Smoker. Didn't you think you were secretly in love with me? Hahahaha..." Diarmuid said suddenly before Tina could speak.Tina was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively said: "Smog? I just regard him as my good friend, and now he has become an unclear pirate..."

But before she finished speaking, she suddenly reacted and cursed in embarrassment: "Shameless, who is secretly in love with you!?"

Diarmuid didn't pay attention to Tina's anger at all, but pointed to the distant vendor and said, "Oh, apple candy, do you want to eat it?" "Eat!" Tina said immediately.

"Sure enough, it's a brat." Diarmuid joked again.

Just like that, amidst Tina's cursing and Diarmuid's leisurely leisure, grand fireworks exploded in the night sky of the island...

Chapter 169 The secrets hidden by the Tianlong people. (Fifth watch, more flowers)

At the beginning of 1504 in the Haiyuan calendar, the headquarters of the navy.marineford.

In the office of Marshal Steel Bone, Diarmuid was sitting carelessly on the sofa, eating an apple in his hand.

"Batholomi. Bear? Is that guy from the Revolutionary Army? It's really surprising..." Marshal Steel Bone said with a smile while looking at the document.

At the same time as the voice fell, he raised his hand to put his seal on the document, and then picked up~ the next one.

With a sound of 'click', Diarmuid bit off a piece of apple, then chewed and said indistinctly: "When I was in Sorbey, I met that guy Drago. Now it seems that They'll have ambiguous relationships - that's normal..."

"That's right." Marshal Steel Bone nodded his head.

After a slight pause, he looked away from the document, looked at Diarmuid and said, "What do you think of his proposal?"

"Me?" Diarmuid ate the apple and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "That guy is not as simple as he said, there are probably other plans in it, so I didn't plan to Marshal, you can express whatever opinion you think you can." "You're getting more and more cunning." Marshal Steel Bone complained, but didn't ask any more questions.

Diarmuid didn't bring up this topic any more, but instead asked, "Where is the General of the Warring States Period? Why didn't you see him when you came back?"

"I'm going to Mary Gioia. The World Conference is just around the corner. There are some things that need to be arranged by the navy." Marshal Steel Bone said very casually. "Really?" Diarmuid didn't care, and then asked: "Speaking of which, does our navy have any demands to make at this world conference?"

"No, it's useless to mention it. The relationship with the higher-ups has been tense recently. As long as the military expenses are not deducted in the coming year, I think it will be auspicious." Marshal Steel Bone said with a smile.

"The relationship is tense..." Diarmuid murmured, but did not speak.

"Here, take a look." Steel-Bone Marshal seemed to think of something, picked up a document from the table, raised his hand and threw it to Diarmuid.

Diarmuid stuffed the remaining half of the apple into his mouth together with the core, raised his hand to catch the file, opened it and read it.

After a while, Diarmuid swallowed all the apples in his mouth, looked at Marshal Steel Bone and said, "Isn't this a normal thing? I remember that in 1500, they also refused to participate in the World Conference Ah, as far as I can remember... I haven't seen the royal family of Fishman Island come to Marie Gioia for a meeting, okay?"

What the document said was nothing else, but that the Neptune royal family of Murloc Island refused to participate in the World Conference.

This is not surprising, although the Fishman Island joined the World Government two or three hundred years ago, and has been a stable member of the affiliated country ever since.

But because of racial issues, slavery and other related issues, there are great differences and contradictions between Fishman Island and the world government, and between humans on the sea.

So they basically never participate in the World Conference, they just hang up the name of a member country in vain.

Of course, I have to say that the Fishman Island is rich and powerful, and the money in the sky can be paid on time every year... I really don't know what to say about them.

Nowadays, in the era of the Great Pirates, some drastic changes have taken place. For example, the flag hanging on Fishman Island is the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, and they have been included in Whitebeard's territory.

In this case, it's normal for people not to come to the meeting, right?

Marshal Steel Bone nodded first, then shook his head and said: "It is normal, but normal does not necessarily mean correct. The location of Murloc Island is very important. If possible, I still hope to win their support. of……"

"That would be difficult. As far as I know, the king of Murloc Island, the great knight of the sea. Neptune is very repulsive to humans, and he is good friends with Whitebeard. What's more, although the law prohibits related Slave trading, but in private, Mary Joya has their support?" Diarmaid rolled his eyes at the marshal and said.

That's right, Neptune didn't have a good attitude towards humans like he did 20 years later.

Neptune at this stage is very repulsive to humans. It was not until the death of Princess Otohime that he repented. He inherited Princess Otohime's will and began to devote himself to making Murloc Island communicate with the society on the sea. of.

But unfortunately, it didn't work much in the end.

"Slave trading..." Steel Bone Marshal said with a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He is also very clear that the main reason for the barrier between Fishman Island and the sea is the problem of slaves.

"Do you have any good solutions? This slave trade problem?" Marshal Steel Bone asked again.

Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you nod, Marshal, I will go to Mary Gioia to kill all the Tianlong people. If there is no business, naturally there will be no harm."

"What nonsense are you kidding!?" Marshal Steel Bone glared at Diarmuid and asked.

"Hahahaha, Marshal, you know it's nonsense, what can I do about this kind of thing?" Diarmud laughed.

Marshal Steel Bone glanced at Diarmuid, and then said with a little emotion: "Although the world government is rotten, the Five Old Stars actually have a lot of ideas and actions. I'm not afraid to tell you that the Five Old Stars also intend to reshape The relationship with Fishman Island is just that I don't know where to start."

"With the power of the five old stars, it shouldn't be a problem to teach those lawless Tianlong people a lesson, right? As long as the slavery can be stopped, things will turn around." Diarmuid said softly.

"It's not that simple. Although the five old stars are the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, they can't just arrange the affairs of the rest of the Celestial Dragons... I don't know exactly what the situation is, but..." Steel-Bone Marshal said Here, he paused a little, and frowned.

"But what?" Diarmuid asked curiously.

Marshal Steel Bone thought for a while, and finally said: "The group of Tianlong people on Mariejoa who seem to be useless now seem to play a very important role in the world government..."

"Function..." Diarmuid murmured, and then asked: "Is it related to the orthodoxy of the legal rationality of the world government?"

The twenty kings are the founders of the world government, so their descendants enjoy extremely high power and are called the descendants of gods.

This is the origin of the Tianlong people, and the reason why the world government provides for the Tianlong people in this way, in a political sense, is because the existence of the Tianlong people represents the legal orthodoxy of the world government.

Marshal Steel Bone shook his head and said, "It's not for political reasons. It should be related to some secrets of Marie Gioia. I'm just chasing rumors, and I don't know the details."

"Is that so..." Diarmuid nodded, but didn't ask any more.

After all, the marshal said he didn't know, so why ask?

"Forget it, these are not things we should consider." Marshal Steel Bone shook his head, not going to chat about the dragonman anymore.

After a pause, he looked at Diarmuid again and said, "Is there really no good way?"

Diarmuid smiled helplessly, and said: "It's nothing more than strengthening the connection. If I really want to talk about it, Marshal, have you ever considered forming a special force like the giant army, composed of murlocs? To take over? This may improve the relationship between our two parties."

Marshal Steel Bone glanced at Diarmuid, and then said: "You may not know, but our navy has done similar things before.". .Ask for flowers.

Diarmuid's eyes lit up and said, "And then?"

"Then, it failed." Marshal Steel Bone said in a slightly helpless tone.

Before Diarmuid asked himself, he explained: "How to put it, the mermaids don't need to think about it. They are relatively peaceful in nature regardless of gender, and they are not suitable to be members of the battle order, so we only recruited them at that time. "Well, possessing ten times the basic strength of humans, and being able to breathe freely in the sea, this race, to be honest, I think is more adapted to this world than humans. " Diarmuid nodded.

"That's right, we also took a fancy to these things at the time, but there are gains and losses. While the murlocs possess great power, they are also naturally violent and rude, extremely poor in discipline, and quite xenophobic..." Marshal Steel Bone said softly.A flash of understanding flashed in Diarmuid's eyes, and then asked: "Is this the reason for the final failure?"

"That's right. In the end, the special forces formed with murlocs had a rebellion and were finally disbanded. Since then, there have been no related proposals. Maybe they are very good at being pirates, but being a navy... ...It's really inappropriate." Marshal Steel Bone said helplessly.

"That's really a pity." Diarmuid said with some emotion, he really didn't know that the navy had made such efforts.

"But speaking of it, not all murlocs are rude, right?" Diarmuid asked again.

"Of course not. There are always exceptions. Some murlocs don't have that irascible gene in their blood. They can tame their own wildness..." Steel-Bone Marshal said.

Similar to Jinbei, similar to Fisher.Tiger, they should all be this kind of person, even Xiaoba probably.

But for example, it is useless and cannot change the general trend.

"Then I have nothing to do..." Diarmuid shrugged.

Marshal Steel Bone didn't have anything to say when he saw this, this matter is just so difficult.

But at this moment, Diarmuid suddenly said: "Princess Otohime of Fishman Island, does she have great kindness towards humans?" Marshal Steel Bone frowned, and said hesitantly: "I Do not really understand."

"Marshal, you are going too far. You want to appease the Murloc Island, but you don't understand the current situation at all. Isn't that empty talk?" Diarmuid complained.

"Hahahahaha, I was wrong, so I will send someone to investigate the situation." Marshal Steel Bone said.

"Well, if Princess Otohime really has a benevolent stance towards human beings, then maybe our navy can start from this aspect and support her. With her status, maybe it can have a miraculous effect." Diarmud He said with a smile.

"Let me give it a try." Marshal Steel Bone nodded in response.

Picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip, Diarmuid asked again: "I always feel that the General of the Warring States Period is very busy all day long, why don't I feel busy? Marshal, am I a general who is doing something useful? Question?" "No problem." Marshal Steel Bone smiled, and then explained: "Warring States is special, he is not just a general, he also undertakes most of the duties of a marshal..."

There is nothing hidden, Marshal Steel Bone said generously: "When I retire, or be promoted to the commander-in-chief or something, he will definitely take over the position of marshal during the Warring States Period, so the assignment of these jobs to him now is for the future. He was able to quickly adopt all the powers of the Navy."

"Well, then I can fish with peace of mind, hahaha." Diarmuid joked.

At this moment, the phone bug in Diarmuid's pocket rang, he took it out to look, and said, "It's Gion, Marshal, I'm leaving if I have nothing to do." Marshal Steel Bone smiled , nodded and said: "Go."

Chapter 170 Gion: You may not believe it, but I captured the three Hancock sisters!

As soon as he left the Marshal's office, Diarmuid answered the phone, "Gion? What's the matter?"

"You came back to the headquarters from the new world, and you didn't call me a single phone bug." Gion said with a bit of resentment.

Diarmuid smiled helplessly and said: "It's different now, I'm an admiral now, busy with affairs, you don't know, I didn't even listen to the marshal's words in order to answer your call bug, He came out of his office directly, "You can pull it off, you have been back to the headquarters for three days, and you have been sleeping at home for the past two days! Gion unceremoniously exposed Diarmuid's lies. Diarmuid was silent for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "Hahahaha... mainly because the previous tasks were too tiring. "

"Before your fleet encountered a big storm, you rested for almost two weeks, and you went to Vikra Island to soak in the hot spring." Gion said softly again.Diarmuid was silent again, and then said cursingly: "Tina is a traitor, I must make her look good!" "Tina?" Gion was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's wrong with Tina? "

"Huh?" Diarmuid was also a little surprised, and then said: "Didn't Tina betray me?" "How is it possible, isn't she your secretary?" Gion said very surprised.

"Then how did you know about my situation?" Diarmuid scratched his head and asked.

"Ah, do you think Tina told me these things? Hehehe... If Tina had said it, I should have contacted you three days ago, but I just found out today that you are in the headquarters. The news is Jiaji told me that there is nothing secret about your mission this time, resting in the headquarters for three days is enough for others to find out the news." Gion said happily.

"Give it up... that bastard 12, always using this little trick to get me into trouble." Diarmuid muttered, and then asked, "Seriously, do you hate him?"

"I don't mind hating him, I just think he's a bit annoying." Gion said very calmly.

Don't look at Kake like a licking dog, seize the opportunity and give Gion a confession of love or something.

But in fact, Jiaji is also very measured in doing things. First of all, he will never use hands and feet. Secondly, he is aboveboard and never engages in fancy things. Finally, whenever Gion rejects him with righteous words, he is in For a period of time, nothing will continue to be entangled.

After three or two months, he will attack again.

I have to say that Gion's stern refusal, without leaving any room, plus a certain degree of gentlemanly demeanor, all prove that the two of them are quite strong in character.

Because of this, Gion just finds Kake annoying, and doesn't dislike him for it.

"Really?" Diarmuid murmured, then paused for a moment, and asked seriously: "Gion, you." But when the words came to his lips, Diarmuid stopped again, laughing at himself After a while, he said, "Nothing."

The phone bug was quiet for a while, and after about ten seconds, Gion said softly: "Dilmurd, if you said what you wanted to say just now, then we will stop here, and we will stop here. You can't even be friends, but fortunately you are still a conscientious person."

Diarmuid leaned against the wall and touched his nose. Even though there was no one in the corridor, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Just now he wanted to ask Gion, are you using me as a shield or something?

But just when he was about to say it, he suddenly realized that this sentence was the biggest insult to Gion.

When did she, Gion, need a shield?

This inquiry is to question her character, and at the same time, it is also questioning Gion's silent contribution to him Diarmuid in the past few years.

"Sorry, it's my fault." Diarmuid apologized seriously.

Gion was quiet for a while, and then said: "Just apologizing is useless."
