From Admiral to the Gotei 13

Navy Headquarters Marlingford on the harbor.

With a righteous coat draped over his shoulders and a cigar in his mouth, Diarmuid scratched his head in a bit of irritability and stepped off the warship.

He was followed by the rear admiral Gion, and as soon as the two of them got out of the harbor, Karp's figure also came down from a dog-headed warship next to him.

Two major officers in the harbor quickly walked up to the two and handed over a document.

Diarmuid didn't look at it, picked up the pen and raised his hand to sign his name on the paper.

"Lieutenant General Diarmuid, thank you. The major smiled as he took the papers.

"Hehehe, it's nothing, are Mr. Zefa and Kuzan back?" asked Diarmuid with a smile.

"Already came back yesterday. The lieutenant commander replied.

Warships entering and leaving Marlingford's harbor had to be registered, and this was the document that Diarmuid had just signed, so he asked this question.

"It's all back, so it looks like something is wrong," Diarmuid smacked his lips.

Originally, he was working on the G-7 to support the G-16, but suddenly received an order from the headquarters to return to Marlingford for a meeting.

At that time, Diarmuid was a little strange, after all, if there was nothing particularly serious before, he would have participated in online meetings directly at the G-7.

"Could it be a revenge against the Whitebeard Pirates?" asked Gion as he stood behind Diarmuid and thought for a moment.

Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and said: "Probably not, right? At this stage, there is no realistic basis for carrying out retaliatory actions, and the new world is in chaos, and it affects the whole body, not to mention, it is said that the intelligence community is not very chaotic? If the intelligence is not clear, it is not suitable to start a war at all..."

At this moment, Karp was also next to him 'check-in' completed, wearing his dog-headed hat and holding a doughnut in his hand, and walked over slowly.

"Hey, Diarmuid. Karp shouted.

After Diarmuid looked over, Karp asked, "I heard you fought with Whitebeard?"

Diarmuid nodded a little helplessly, and then said: "You don't want to open any pot and mention which pot, okay?

"To know is to know, but to know is not very clear... But I'm not here to ask about that, but how is Tsuru, speaking of which?" Karp asked, eating a doughnut.

Without waiting for Diarmuid to speak, Gion on the side hurriedly said: "The judicial island court sentence has ended, Sister Ahe has been stripped of the reputation of the senior staff officer, has a major demerit, and cannot be promoted within two years, and on the side of the Ministry of Intelligence, two major generals and six brigadier generals have been sentenced to death..."

Of course, there must be many low-ranking officers of the Intelligence Department, such as lieutenant colonels and majors, or even naval soldiers who are not officers, who will be held accountable, but those are not the business of Justice Island.

They are not so idle, if they spend all their time on officers below the rank of general, then how can they be busy?

Karp breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "It's good that he hasn't been convicted... I almost thought I had to go to Impelton to see the crane again. "

"How is it possible, if a person with great achievements like the chief staff officer is convicted and imprisoned because of a failure or a mistake, Justice Island has already been demolished by our navy, and the world government will not dare to do this, it will lose the military spirit. Diarmoud smiled.

From the very beginning, he didn't worry much about the affairs of the general staff.

"Now you're not a big staff officer, you..." Karp said this, and paused again: "Forget it, she will be a big staff officer sooner or later anyway, you can call it whatever you like." "

Speaking of which, although Ah He has been stripped of her reputation as a senior staff officer, she has a high prestige in the navy after all, and everyone doesn't say anything on the surface, but in private, she is basically called 'senior staff officer'.

Without talking about the big staff officer anymore, Diarmuid asked with some curiosity: "Karp, have you ever fought with that Newgate guy?"

"Isn't that bullshit? I did it with that bastard more than twenty years ago. Karp gave Diarmoud a blank look.

Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, and then laughed himself, yes, more than twenty years ago, in the battle of the Valley of the Gods, Karp and Roger teamed up to hammer down the Rocks Pirates.

At that time, Whitebeard Edward Newgate was on the Rocks Pirates.

How could Karp not have fought him?

Now that you think about it... Is it even possible for him to win?

Even Newgate didn't plan to fight the navy at the time, the Rocks Pirates were scattered, and everyone tried to find a way to slip away or something...

But in the end, judging from the results, Karp did win!

"I asked an idiot's question. Diarmuid laughed to himself.

"If only you knew you were an idiot. Karp continued to eat the doughnut again.

Diarmuid's eyelids twitched slightly, sure enough, with this guy Karp, you can't be nice to him, you can't give him a good face, otherwise he can anger you every minute.

He snatched the bag of donuts from Karp's hand, and Diarmuid grabbed them and ate them.

Karp on the side was stunned for a moment, and then said with a shocked expression: "Hey, bastard, don't, don't do this!!, I haven't slept for two days and two nights, and I'm trying to eat doughnuts in a row, this is the four hundred and sixty-third, don't interrupt me, otherwise I'll be in vain..."

"I care so much about you. Diarmuid said inexplicably, and then crushed all the doughnuts in the bag into slag, and then lifted the bag, looked up, and poured all the dregs into his mouth, and ate them dry!

The Karp people on the side were stupid, with an expression of the world falling apart, their hands trembling, tears in their eyes, and they almost didn't kneel on the ground and wept.

"Oops, refreshed!" Diarmuid said with a belched and a cheerful pat on Karp's shoulder.

"Old man, kill you bastard now!" Karp roared, his arms wrapped around him in a smug of domineering.

But before he could do anything, Gion behind Diarmuid smiled and took out a bag of doughnuts and said, "Karp?"

Karp this guy is really a dog's face, his face changes very quickly, the moment he sees the doughnut, his face is happy, the strong momentum on his body immediately dissipated, he took the doughnut in Gion's hand in his hand, and said with a smile: "The old man is just joking with you, hahahahahaha, you young people, you really don't know how to respect the old and love the young." "

After that, Diarmuid and Karp didn't stay on the harbor for anything, and walked towards Marienford, the meeting will only start tomorrow, and there is no need to report or anything, Diarmuid is going to meet Mr. Zefa, who has not seen him for a long time.

Karp is also idle, in fact, he is still on vacation.

After all, I had carried out a two-year long-term mission in the South China Sea before, and it was normal to come back for an annual vacation, but I was called back for a meeting after half of the vacation, and in short, I had nothing to do, so I followed Diarmuid to Zefa's house.

"Now that you've fought each other, Lieutenant General Karp, give me a letter of approval, who is better between you and Newgate?" asked Diarmud as he walked.

Hearing this, Karp stuffed a doughnut in his mouth, glanced at Diarmuid, and then said, "Do you feel an insurmountable gap?"

"Almost... You know, I've fought Charlotte Lingling, she should already be a very strong monster, at that time I could barely fight her, now, I'm confident that I can compete with her head-on, not falling behind, and even if I can catch the fighter, it's not impossible to win the battle, but... In the face of Whitebeard, I couldn't imagine how I could win. Diarmuid didn't hide anything, and said generously.

"It's because I can't think of how to win against that guy, so he's the best in the world. Karp muttered.

Diarmoud frowned slightly: "In other words, you can't win against him?"

"I can't say that I can't win, but the old man is also known as the strongest sailor!" Karp said arrogantly.

That's right, Karp also has the strongest name on him, that is, the 'strongest sea soldier', and one of the best in the world, in terms of reputation level, no worse than Whitebeard.

"And then?" asked Diarmuid again.

"Then, when I play against someone of his level, the victory or defeat is not just measured by strength, everyone knows the roots, and it is unlikely that there will be major flaws, so there are various factors for the decisive victory, but in general, it can be summarized as... Whoever is lucky wins. Karp said, chewing on a doughnut.

"I see, you say so much, to sum it up, it's five or five open?" said Diarmuid with a blank look.

Karp also gave Diarmoud a white look, and then said, "Do you look down on these five-five open? There are not many people in the world who can talk to me and Newgate." "

"Hahahaha," Diarmuid laughed.

He did not deny it.

The masters in the navy are like clouds, as strong as the steel marshal, the Warring States general, and the Zefa teacher.

and Sakaski, Kuzan, Polusalino, Gion, Gaji, and others.

If you want to calculate it again, you can also calculate that a hidden boss like Lieutenant General Jonathan is also strong.

However, if you want to talk about the ceiling of combat power, on the surface, it is the admiral, after all, the admiral is known as the highest combat power of the world government, and he has also won the title of 'the world's best', but there is a bit of water.

But in fact, it is basically recognized within the navy that Karp, the naval hero, is the ceiling of naval combat power.

People in the navy, no matter how strong you are, are not as strong as Kap anyway...

In fact, Karp has always relied on his excellent strength to sit firmly in this position, and no one is unconvinced.

Even Diarmud, who often struggled with Karp, recognized this.

Listening to Diarmud's laughter, Karp raised his hand and patted Diarmud's shoulder and said: "It's okay if you can't win now, it's normal, but the old man has high expectations for you, in the old man's opinion, you are more growth-oriented than Sakaski... It's not impossible to beat Whitebeard's guy in the future. "

"Yes, you look up to me so much, hahahaha, anyway, I borrowed your good words. Diarmuid laughed.

"Speaking of which, how is Ace?" Diarmuid said, changing the subject.

"Oh, yes, hahahaha, energetic little fellow, if it weren't for Sengoku urging me to come back, I'd have stayed there a little longer..."Karp laughed.

"As a naval hero, please do more. Diarmuid gave the guy a blank look.

"The old man has been on a long-term mission for two years without interruption!" Karp said with a look of disgust.

While talking and laughing, Gion, Karp, and Diarmuid had already walked to the courtyard of Mr. Zefa.

This courtyard is still so quiet, just looking at it from the outside, I feel that the owner inside must be a very temperamental person.

The door is open, which is also the norm in Mr. Zefa's house, after all, in Mallingford, it is estimated that no one dares to be presumptuous at his doorstep.

Walking in, through a lawn, into the courtyard, I happened to see Mr. Zefa sitting cross-legged under the cloister, holding a book in his hand.

As if he heard the movement at the door, Mr. Zefa looked up, and then said with a smile on his face, "You are also back?"

"Ah, long time no see, Zefa!" Cap replied with a grin.
