From Admiral to the Gotei 13

The first half of the Great Voyage, Carnival City.

Young Smoker was coming down from the harbor with a cigar in his mouth and an unconscious pirate hunter in his hand, followed by a large group of vicious pirate brothers.

Compared to when he was in the Navy, Smoker's image at this time has changed dramatically.

The first is that he no longer wears the Navy's Righteous Vest that he loves, and he wears a black captain's coat over his shoulders.

At the same time, there were two crossed scars on his chest, covering him in the shape of a cross, making his appearance much more hideous.

Not only that, but his temperament has changed dramatically.

At Marlingford, Smoker was a thorn, but he was still more or less upright.

And now, he's completely like a vicious pirate.

In particular, his eyes are quite ferocious.

Throwing the pirate hunter in his hand to the ground, Smoker moved his neck a little and said, "Deal with this idiot, go find out the head of the Don Quixote family here for me, and say I want to see him!"

"Yes, Captain!" said a little pirate brother, standing behind Smoker, with a sinister grin.

But before he could leave, Smoker added: "Tell the head of the Don Quixote family to replenish the ammunition for me first, and then come to me with the price, and let him think about it on the way, how to make an offer to me!"

"Understood, Captain!" the little pirate brother replied quickly, and then left the harbor with a group of pirates.

Smoker slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the electronic calendar hanging on the tower of Carnival City, and whispered, "Three years..."

In fact, Smoker is also quite confused now, because he has recently discovered more and more that he has a talent for being a pirate.

Maybe it's his short-tempered temper and eclectic style.

In short, his pirates are quite convinced of him as a captain.

In just a year or so, he has already gathered more than two hundred elite pirates.

If this trend continues, it's almost time for him to form a big ship group.

Regarding this plan, he has already had some mature considerations, and he will use these elite pirates brought out by his subordinates now as small cadres to recruit new people with them as a framework, and based on 200 people, he can pull up a pirate group of 2,000 people in minutes.

To this extent, it can already be called a large ship group.

However, he still lacked some ships, especially powerful ones.

As a person who came out of the Navy Headquarters, he has participated in several actual combat exercises, and compared with the Navy's standard warships, Smoker has a contempt and dislike for pirate ships.

Whether it's the firepower ratio or the tonnage, it's too much worse.

"We'll have to find a way to get two warships," Smoker said, touching his chin.

At this moment, the phone bug he had been carrying with him suddenly rang.

Smoker's face was straight, he had two phone bugs, one was specially used to be a pirate, and the other was a secret phone bug that only a few big guys in the navy had signal waves.

Smoker glanced back, told his younger brother to rest, and then walked a few steps to the shore, and when he saw that there was no one around, he took out the phone bug.

Looking at the appearance of the phone bug, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the phone bug and said, "General Diarmuid!?"

When Smoker left the Navy, Diarmuid was still a vice admiral.

As a result, less than half a year after he left the Navy, Diarmuid took the position of admiral.

Smoker was also very happy in his heart, on the one hand, because he admired Diarmuid, and on the other hand, because Diarmuid was the initiator of his 'pirate plan', the higher Diarmuid's status in the navy, the greater the weight, the more hopeful he was, the safer he was, right?

"Oh, Smoker, I haven't been in touch with you much, how are you doing? Isn't the pirate industry very promising? hahahaha. Diarmuid asked laughing at the phone bug.

Smoker also smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke, and said in a slightly helpless tone: "The pirate industry is really promising..."

"Hehehe, because of chaos, there is no need for other rules, as long as you are strong, you can seize a high position and control the life and death of countless people... Of course, this is very promising, but it is precisely because of the chaos that you can rise quickly, or you may quietly disappear like a meteor one day. Diarmuid said with a smile.

"Is it like the Golden Lion Shiki?" asked Smoker suddenly.

It had been a long time since Diarmuid had heard Shiki's name, and he was slightly stunned, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and said softly: "That's right, just like Shiki." "

After a pause, Diarmed asked, "How is it?"

"Speaking of which, my pirate ship is really bad, Admiral, is there a way to support my two warships or something?" Smoker asked with a smile.

After breaking away from Marlingford's sequence and becoming active on the sea as a pirate, Smoker was somewhat tainted with the debauchery of pirates.

When he was in Marlingford, even if he was a prick in his head, he was still a little strict when talking to Diarmuid.

But now, listening to his tone, it is much more chic.

"You kid is just whimsical, do you know what kind of impact you will have if you use a warship? This is an insult to the face of our navy, and we will definitely find a way to destroy you, so warship or something, don't think about it, it's okay to give you some activity funds. Diarmuid rolled his eyes.

Smoker said a little helplessly: "I don't need funds or anything, I'll just grab it myself, to be honest, I'm really not short of money now, those damn nobles are far richer than I imagined..."

"Ah, yes, you're talking more and more like a pirate now. Diarmuid laughed.

After a slight pause, Diarmuid said: "I have secretly stockpiled a batch of arms on the island of Marinin, and if you need it, go and grab it." "

"Understood, I know the general. Smoker laughed.

This is the advantage of pirates with official backgrounds, other pirates have a great demand for gunpowder shells or something, but they can only be limited to the black market.

But Smoker is different, he has to grab both hands, both hands must be hard, this time he came to Carnival City, just to replenish the ammunition reserves, looking for the Don Quixote family.

But if he can't get along with the Don Quixote, he doesn't have to worry about anything, and the navy will arrange a wave for him.

Anyway, he won't starve.

"Although warships or something, can't be considered ... Where are you?" asked Diarmuid again.

"Carnival City, I'm going to take someone here to play, and by the way, replenish ammunition or something. Smoker said without concealment.

"Carnival City, that's not too far from the capital of the seven waters, let me tell you a good news, there is a powerful shipwright in the capital of the seven waters, called Tom, is a fish man, he once built a ship for One Piece Roger, around 1500, he was sentenced to death by the world government for this crime, but for various reasons, he is now on probation, you can find him there, let him build you a powerful ship. Diarmuid said with a smile.

"Roger's shipwright?" said Smoker, a little surprised.

"No, not Roger's boatman, he just helped Roger build a ship. Diarmuid said softly.

"I know, thank you for the news. Smoker nodded.

After a slight pause, Smoker asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything I need to do over there?"

"You've been out for so long, but you're a lot smarter. Diarmuid first praised it, and then before Smoker could speak, he said: "That's right, there is one thing, you go and do it, the royal family of the kingdom of Maogorilla, King Kuletask, intends to slander and attack our navy at this world conference, and intends to use the hand of the world conference to remove Vice Admiral Jonathan, the base commander of the G-8, and I will send you his relevant information later, and you can find a way to shut up that idiot." "

Smoker was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Can the royal family of the allied country also meddle in the internal affairs of the navy?"

"Of course, it is not qualified in normal times, but at the world conference, the royal families of all countries have the right to raise various issues, but all organizations under the command of the world government, once the agenda is passed, must obey the plan, from the legal point of view, the issues discussed at the world conference, once recognized by the countries, will have extremely high legal effect, and the authority is higher than the ministry, so during this period, the member countries can use this way to meddle in the affairs of our navy. Diarmuid said very calmly.

This is also a very normal thing, and it is one of the many ways that the world government uses to balance the navy.

And from an objective point of view, this phenomenon is actually very reasonable.

Of course, the member countries also hope to have some means to have some influence on the navy.

It's just that for many years, no one has used the relevant power, on the one hand, the power of the navy is here, and no one dares to provoke it, on the other hand, it is naturally afraid that the navy will retaliate in the back, so they wear small shoes.

Smoker wasn't too surprised when he heard this, but just complained: "Are the royal families of these member countries so idle?"

"Hehehe, do you think the World Conference is very high-end? Perhaps, but the World Conference often lasts for a month to two months, do they just grasp those high-end issues and look at them? No, as far as I know, this kind of trivial and trivial matter that pulls each other's feet back is the mainstream of the World Conference... Anyway, it's up to you. Diarmuid said with a smile.

"No problem, General. Smoker replied without hesitation.

"Regarding the matter of His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas, when you finish this vote, our navy will start to help you operate, work hard, don't be defeated by your peers during this time period, then we will be embarrassed." Diarmuid whispered again.

Smoker said very seriously: "According to the general's orders, I will not reside in the new world until I get the title of the Seven Martial Seas under the King, so it shouldn't be a big problem." "

"Well, then so be it, contact if you have any questions, and pay attention to safety. "After Diarmuid arranges this, there is no nonsense.

Smoker also said crisply: "Understood, General." "

As soon as the voice fell, the two hung up the phone one after another.

Smoker flicked the ash of the cigar in his hand, couldn't help laughing, and laughed at himself: "Only at this time can I realize that I am actually a navy..."

It wasn't long before Smoker did it, and two months later, the World Conference was officially held in Mary Joy.
