From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

Unlike when Marshal Steel-Bone was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the whole army, the Commander-in-Chief Steel-Bone took office very low-key at the beginning. Apart from publishing some relevant news in the newspaper, he didn't do anything else.

But the navy is different. The navy must maintain its influence at all times, and at the same time, in order to quickly establish the prestige of the new marshal of the Warring States Period.

The Navy Headquarters will hold a press conference at the ceremony for the Warring States Admiral to be promoted to Marshal, and broadcast it live globally.

Recently, Marineford has been extremely busy, and most people are busy with this matter.

On the Justice Square, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, a podium was set up, a lot of related equipment was laid, and many people from all walks of life were invited to participate in this grand ceremony.

Among them are a large number of reporters, even the president of the News of the World.big news.Morgans also came in person, as well as some kings of the franchise countries who had a good relationship with the Warring States Period, and even Princess Otohime of Fishman Island, boarded Marineford in person to participate in this matter.

At the same time, the CP agency, as a brother agency of the Navy Headquarters, although it is constantly fighting with each other on weekdays, it still wants to show the peaceful atmosphere inside the world government in this kind of matter.

Therefore, as the representative of the CP agency, Queen Stussy also came to Malingford to congratulate and participate in the marshal's inauguration ceremony after dealing with the affairs of Dorag.

All of a sudden, the stars of Marineford shone brightly. This plaza, which usually only has the navy, now gathered dignitaries from various countries, leaders of the world government, members of CP agencies, journalists, wealthy businessmen, and nobles.

Even Bartholomew.Xiong Ye, as the representative of Shichibukai under the king, came to Marineford from Punk Hazard, ready to show his face or something.

In Diarmuid's office, Diarmuid is not as casually dressed as he used to be.

Today is an auspicious day for a Warring States General to be promoted to Marshal, so of course he has to dress more formally.

He was dressed in a black high-end suit, very decent, his sharp black short hair was also well-groomed, and his beard was also neatly tidied up.

"Hahahaha, didn't the general of the Warring States period almost die of anger?" Diarmuid was wearing this (bccj) handsome suit, and while taking off his justice cloak with the general's epaulettes from the hanger, he laughed loudly.

And Tina is also wearing a dark red suit today, with a cloak of justice on her shoulders, and she is smiling coquettishly and saying to Diarmuid: "Yeah, the general of the Warring States period almost died of anger, and specially contacted Wu Laoxing, please They took action to stop this farce." "Hahaha, if those bastards came, he wouldn't have to hold any ceremony today." Diarmuid still laughed loudly.

It turned out to be in the morning, suddenly there was a Tianlong man who heard that the navy headquarters would be very lively today, as if someone was going to be the admiral of the navy.

So he wanted to join in the fun, but when the general of the Warring States Period received the news, he almost vomited blood out of breath. If the Tianlong people come here, can they still come up with any serious ceremony?Kowtow live together?Even with Diarmuid, Karp, and Sakaski's peeing nature, it is possible to beat Tianlong people violently in the live broadcast!

Therefore, the general of the Warring States Period was also shameless, and directly contacted Wulaoxing, crying and shouting to report the matter to Wulaoxing.

Of course Wu Laoxing also knew that today is a big day for the navy, and it would not be a good thing for the world government to lose the majesty of the navy. Grounded.

Putting the cloak of justice on his shoulders casually, Diarmuid was about to walk out the door.

"Let's go, it's okay to be late. Today is General Warring States. No, I'm not used to changing my words. Today is the home field of our new boss, Marshal Warring States. Let's not be late." Diarmuid said with a smile .Tina raised her hand to look at her watch, and then said, "There's still more than an hour left, I won't be late."

Of course, she was just reminding Diarmaid, and she didn't intend to stop him. She followed Diarmaid and went out, and helped Diarmaid open the door of the office.But just as Diarmuid was about to step out, Tina suddenly called out, "Wait a minute, general." "What's the matter?" Diarmuid stopped and asked.

Tina stepped forward in two steps, stood on tiptoe, reached out and grabbed Diarmuid's untidy tie, and said while adjusting, "It's full of reporters outside today, after Marshal Warring States goes up , you are the oldest general among the three generals. There must be many people who want to interview you. You must pay attention to your image and show your most handsome side, otherwise my secretary will lose face... ..."

Tina was standing on tiptoe at this time, earnestly arranging Diarmuid's tie, so she was very close to Diarmuid. When she spoke, a faint fragrance wafted into Diarmuid's nose.

Diarmuid smiled, and glanced down slightly, just in time to see Tina's forehead next to his chin.

Without thinking too much, Diarmuid lowered his head slightly, raised his chin, and tapped on Tina's forehead.

Tina froze for a moment, a little confused.

At this time, the tie was also tidied up, and Diarmuid laughed and patted Tina on the shoulder and said, "Is he handsome enough? Hahahaha..."

After finishing speaking, Diarmuid bypassed Tina and walked out of the office.

Only then did Tina come back to her senses, reached out her hand to touch her head, and cursed in embarrassment: "General bastard, you're taking advantage of me again! I'm going to sue Miss Gion!!!" "Hahahaha, then you Tell me, I'll go first." Diarmuid said in the corridor without looking back.

Just passing by the office of the general of the Warring States Period, he saw the door open and a tall figure came out. This figure was wearing a yellow suit and a cloak of justice. He obviously felt very formal, but he looked very wretched.

Through the open door, Diarmuid also saw someone carrying some things inside.

And the person in front of him was none other than Polusalino.

If you look carefully, you will find that Polusalino's epaulettes have been changed from lieutenant general to general.

That's right, he is also the admiral of the navy today, and will attend the promotion ceremony of the Marshal of the Warring States Period as an admiral, and the office of the Warring States Period will naturally belong to him.

Even if this matter is relatively low-key, whether it was Diarmuid or Sakaski, the promotion to the general was carried out in a low-key and smooth manner. Polusalino didn't like to be in the limelight, so it was naturally the same.As soon as Polusalino went out, he smiled nonchalantly and said to Diarmuid: "Be careful about personal style, General Diarmuid, be careful not to be sued by Tina..."

Diarmuid gave Polusalino a blank look and said, "Did you become more sullen after becoming a general?" "I'll take it seriously when you talk like that... "Porusalino joked.Diarmuid didn't answer this at all, but asked directly: "Is it packed? Let's go together?"

"Well, let's go together." Polusalino stopped joking and nodded.

Subsequently, the two admirals left here together. .

Chapter 278 General Diarmuid Answers the Reporter's Question! ?

As soon as he walked out of the fortress of justice in Marineford, Diarmaid felt a wave of heat hit his face.

My good fellow, on the originally spacious Justice Square, it was really noisy with drums and drums, firecrackers blaring, colorful flags fluttering, and a sea of ​​people.

Fortunately, there are still a large number of soldiers from the Navy Headquarters maintaining order. Although there are a lot of people, they will not appear chaotic.

"I've been in Marineford for so many years, and I haven't seen such a big scene..." Diarmuid said with a little emotion.Polusalino froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Me too."

Although Polusalino served in the navy in Marineford a few years earlier than Diarmuid, he had never seen the scene when the Iron Bone Marshal took office.

In fact, most of the navies saw the inauguration ceremony of the admiral for the first time, and the previous admiral steel bone didn't seem to do this.

At the same time, many generals came out of the Fortress of Justice, greeted Diarmuid and Polusalino with a smile, and walked towards the square.

Several areas have been divided there, and an open-air viewing platform has been set up, which is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Diarmuid and Polusalino didn't delay, they walked over there while chatting.

As a result, after leaving the blocked area, a large number of reporters rushed over, and the spotlights shot at Diarmuid and Polusalino, almost blinding Diarmuid. up.

He now regrets that he didn't wear sunglasses like Polusalino did.

"Mr. Polusalino, I heard that today is not only the promotion ceremony for the Admiral of the Warring States Period, but you also officially became the Admiral of the Navy today, right?"

"Mr. Huang Yuan, as the oldest member of the new generation of the navy, you were the last to serve as a general. Do you have any complaints about this?"

"General, Mr. General! Can you discuss who is stronger between you, General Diarmud, and General Sakaski? I think many people are looking forward to this answer." Polusalino said today The newly promoted general naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, there were also many people asking questions around Diarmuid.

These reporters' questions were also very sharp, and there were some provocative ones. It was really a big deal to watch the excitement.

Diarmuid didn't want to pay attention to these people at all. When the repulsive force of the gravitational field on his body was released, he pushed the crowd away and walked out.

Polusalino, on the other hand, answered a few questions with a smile. After all, he had to say a few words when he took office today.

"First of all, I am indeed appointed as Admiral of the Navy today. This is not something worth discussing. It is just a normal personnel transfer within the Navy. Regarding the complaints you just raised, to be honest, there is no such thing at all. Our Navy is on the way. Come out, don't you?" Polusalino stood there talking nonsense to the reporters.

Diarmuid, who walked away from the side, was a little funny. I can't tell that Polusalino, who is usually lazy and out of tune, is also very smart when he is serious.

Soon, Diarmuid walked to the seat arranged by the navy, where Garp, Zefa, Chief of Staff Ahe, Kuzan, Gion and others were already sitting here.

At the same time, in order to promote some good relations, there is no division of camps or the like here. It can be seen that Princess Otohime, Queen Stusi and several members of the royal family, and some high-ranking officials and nobles of Marie Gioia are here. Sit or walk around each other.

And on the surface, it seemed that everyone was having a good time, and everyone was chatting with each other, with hypocritical and polite smiles on their faces.

Diarmuid walked forward a few steps, sat directly beside Gion, and said with a deep breath, "There are too many people, I almost died of the heat."

Gion also said with a smile: "Yeah, especially in formal clothes, otherwise why do you think I'm sitting with Kuzan?" Diarmuid froze for a moment, then looked at the Kuzan, I didn't know that I thought he was cultivating immortality.

"Damn? Do you want to be so exaggerated?" Diarmuid complained.

"I'm more afraid of heat than you are, okay?" Kuzan gave Diarmuid a white look and said.

At this moment, Princess Otohime walked over with a smile, stretched out her hand and said, "General Diarmuid, long time no see."

There was also a smile in Diarmuid's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to hold Princess Otohime's hand, shook it lightly and then let go: "It's really been a long time, Princess Otohime, I'm very happy to be here in Marineford Seeing you, it proves that the efforts of both of us have not been in vain, doesn't it?"

"Hehehe, you are right, we are very grateful to you, especially about Jinbei." Princess Otohime said with a smile.

"It's nothing, this is what I should do." Diarmuid smiled and waved his hand.

At this moment, another group of reporters chased after him, stalking Diarmuid with long guns and short guns.

Diarmuid is very confused, there are so many big people here, why are you chasing me?

"General Diarmuid, may I ask if you have a close relationship with Princess Otohime of Murloc Island?" a reporter asked excitedly.

Diarmuid was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your word is very inappropriate. Princess Otohime and I have known each other for a long time. We are friends who share the same beliefs. If we say we are close, we are close. , I am also very good friends with His Majesty Neptune of Fishman Island."

"Common belief? What does that mean?" asked another reporter.

"Ah, about this, we agree that between the fishman island and the society on the sea, we should eliminate mutual misunderstanding and discrimination, and jointly promote the harmonious development of this world. I have always believed that there are many intelligent races in this world. Everyone should abandon their mutual prejudices. All intelligent races are equal. There is no one who is born more noble and who is born lower. So I have been promoting these things in my spare time. Princess Otohime has a big A person with wisdom and great perseverance, among the friends I know, she is one of the most worthy of my admiration." Diarmuid said very seriously.

A touch of emotion flashed in the eyes of Princess Otohime on the side, and it was obvious that it was General Diarmuid who was standing for her.

Sure enough, as soon as Diarmuid finished speaking, the reporters who paid attention to these issues began to interview Princess Otohime again.

As for the business bragging, Princess Otohime also generously praised Diarmuid and the admirals headed by Diarmuid for their help to Fishman Island.

At the same time, she also began to promote her ideas, hoping that human beings can coexist peacefully with the people of Fishman Island, and she talked a lot about it.

There are also a group of reporters who are obviously here for Diarmuid, and they didn't care about him changing the subject. Instead, they asked: "Mr. General, I heard that you were in love with Lieutenant General Taotu in Marineford, is it true?" Really?" Gion on the side blushed, and glared at the reporter with some embarrassment, not to mention, this glance was so charming that it was immediately photographed by the reporter.

Diarmuid thought about it for a while, thinking that these reporters belonged to his gossip tabloids, right?

But today he is really in a good mood, and he has never cared what these people gossip about.

So he didn't drive them away, instead, he hugged Gion with a smile and said, "That's right, I also spent a lot of effort to catch up with the military flower of our navy headquarters, don't you?" You know, there are many suitors for Lieutenant General Taotu, from Malinford to Marie Gioia, fortunately I am handsome and talented, so I caught up with her..."

Gion on the side was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on his face.

Diarmuid's words completely excited these gossip reporters.

"General, general, I heard that you not only have a relationship with Lieutenant General Momotu, but also your secretary, Major General Tina, is that true? We heard that you and Major General Tina went to Hot Spring Island together What about traveling..." Another reporter asked gossipingly.

Diarmuid was a little surprised, you know that?

Ugh?No, no, I was in the hot spring with that rough guy Dorag, and now that I think about it, I'm a bit ghostly.

So Diarmuid said with a straight face: "Of course not, but as a man, I appreciate the beauty of Major General Tina very much, but the relationship between me and her is just colleagues. Major General Tina is very good. Back then, I was the first in the military academy to fill in the vacancies, and I don’t know how many times I will be punished, hahahaha... ". …ask for flowers.

As a result, after Diarmuid finished speaking, the reporter was simply a genius. The microphone was directly turned to Gion, and asked excitedly: "Lieutenant General Momotu, General Diarmuid said that he admires Tina very much." The beauty of the major general, what do you think about it? And the question I just had, do you also have doubts?"

My damn... Diarmuid cursed in his heart, if there were not so many people here, I would have sent you to sink the sea to feed the fish!

When Gion heard this, he said with a smile: "Everyone has a love for beauty. When Diarmuid pursued me, he also bluntly said that he admired my beauty very much. At that time, I thought he was playing hooligans. I naturally recognize Major General Tina's beauty, but as for my opinion..."

Having said that, Gion paused, turned his head and smiled at Diarmuid, and said generously, "As long as he has me in his heart, that's enough."

The moment Gion's words fell, even the reporters were dumbfounded. There is no doubt that Gion's statement is tantamount to making a statement in public, and he doesn't care if Diarmuid is a playboy or not!

Diarmuid was also a little surprised, then shook his head with a smile and said nothing more.

On the contrary, Jiaji not far away, almost vomiting blood out of breath, beating his chest and stamping his feet, immediately attracted the attention of the reporters.

"Lieutenant General Tea Dolphin, I heard that you have had a crush on Lieutenant General Taotu for many years, and you have not given up on being rejected in public many times. What do you think of Lieutenant General Taotu's speech just now?" the reporter asked very creepily. .

Jiaji almost stood up and beat him up, his face was very ugly, but he still forced a smile and said: "What's the matter, just like Gion...Momotu said, everyone has a heart for beauty, and I was the same back then." I admire her beauty very much, and the motivation is the same as Diarmuid's. As for not being able to pursue her in the end, it can only be said that fate is not enough, so of course I wish them well now."

"Is it because fate is not enough? Isn't it because of appearance?" The reporter asked sharply again.

"That's right, Lieutenant General Tea Dolphin, I heard that the relationship between you and General Diarmuid is the most rigid in this department. Is it true?" Another reporter asked.

Just when Jiaji's face became more and more ugly, Diarmuid stood up, walked to Jiaji's side, hugged Jiaji's shoulders, and said to the reporters with a smile: "Why is the relationship so stiff? I To tell the truth to Jiaji, who has been an old friend for many years, at our level, everyone recognizes each other, communicates, and what we value more is character and connotation. Lieutenant General Jiaji is undoubtedly a real gentleman. I admire him, not to mention, although this guy didn't catch up to Gion and lost to me who was more connotative, but he was also pursued by many beauties in the headquarters. Don't underestimate him, okay? Right, add count?"

Jia Ji reacted very quickly, smiled at Diarmuid, and said, "That's right, that's it. I have a very good relationship with Diarmuid. How can there be any stiffness?" After a pause, he said in the tone of good friends teasing each other: "Also, what does it mean to be more connotative than me? I am obviously more talented!" "Hahahaha, you are still stubborn. " Diarmuid laughed while hugging Jiaji's shoulder.

Soon, seeing that they could not find any material, these reporters quickly dispersed.At this moment, Jia Ji sighed softly and said, "Don't think that I will thank you..."

"Tch, do you think I'm here to thank you?" Diarmuid said with a blank look.

Then, both of them laughed.earth.

Chapter 279 The Marshal's Ceremony!Justice will prevail!

After the reporters from the gossip tabloids left, Diarmuid also took some time off.

I didn't chat much with Jia Ji, although the two of them felt a little bit of a grudge, but it's impossible to talk about everything all at once.

Back to Gion and Kuzan, not long after they sat down, Sakaski also broke away from a group of reporters and walked over.

Sakalski clearly lacks Polusalino's tact.

As soon as he sat down, he said angrily: "These bastards don't have good intentions in asking questions!" "What? You want to burn them to death?" Diarmuid asked with a smile.Sakaski gritted his teeth and said, "If there is a chance, I really want to burn these dregs to death!"

At the same time, Polusalino put his hands in his pockets, leisurely fooled the reporters, and then walked over.

Gion and Kuzan moved a little to the side, allowing the three generals to sit together.

"Ah, by the way, didn't you say you wanted to find a devil fruit for Ace?" Diarmuid raised his brows and asked Sakaski beside him.Sakaski nodded and said, "That's right, why? Do you have a recommendation?" "Natural. Burn fruit." Diarmuid said calmly.Sakaski's eyes lit up and said, "Yes!"

That's good, Ace's kid originally hoped to be able to eat the fruits of the natural department, but for himself, he wanted to find Ace a "six-three-seven" power of the fire department.

To be honest, the relationship between Ace and Sakalski is developing very fast, and to a large extent, influenced by Sakalsky, he has some hawkish thinking.

Sakaski is still strong and strong, and has time to train his own faction's successors or something.
