From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

Early 1504 of the Navy Headquarters Mallinford.

In the office of the steel marshal, Diarmid was sitting on the sofa with an apple in his hand.

“Bartholomy Bear? Is that guy from the Revolutionary Army? It’s really surprising…,” the steel marshal said with a smile while looking at the document.

As the words fell, he raised his hand to stamp his seal on the document, and then picked up the next one.

With a ‘click’, Diarmid bit off an apple, and then chewed while saying indistinctly: “I met the Dorrag guy when I was in Solbey, and now it seems that they will have an unclear relationship and normal…”

“Quite so.” Marshal Steel Bone nodded.

After a slight pause, he looked away from the document and looked at Diarmud: “What do you think of his proposal?” ”

“Me?” Diarmed ate the apple and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: “That guy is not as simple as he said, nine times out of ten, there are other plans in it, so I don’t plan to express any opinions, Marshal, you can do it if you think.” ”

“You kid is getting more and more cunning.” The steel bone marshal complained, but did not ask anything more.

Diarmud did not raise this topic again, but asked: “What about the Warring States General?” Why didn’t you see him when you came back? ”

“Go to Mary Joa, the world conference is just around the corner, there are some things that need to be arranged by the Navy over there.” Marshal Steel Bone said very casually.

“Yes?” Diarmid didn’t care, and then asked: “Speaking of which, does our navy have any demands for this world conference?” ”

“No, it’s useless to mention it, recently the relationship with the above is tense, as long as the next year does not deduct military expenses, I think it is a great fortune.” The steel bone marshal said with a smile.

“It’s tense,” Diarmid muttered, not speaking.

“This, you see.” The marshal of the steel bone thought of something, picked up a document from the table, raised his hand and threw it to Diarmud.

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

After a while, Diarmid swallowed all the apples in his mouth, looked at the steel marshal and said, “Isn’t this a normal thing?” I remember that in 1500, they also refused to participate in the World Conference, and I had the impression… I haven’t seen the royal family of Fishman Island come to Mary Joa for a meeting, right? ”

The document says nothing else, that is, the Neptune royal family of Fishman Island refused to participate in this world conference.

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

However, because of the racial issue, as well as 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 world conferences, just empty the name of an allied country.

Of course, I have to say that Fishman Island is rich and powerful, and the heavenly gold can still be paid on time every year… I don’t know what to say about them.

Nowadays, in the era of sea pirates, some drastic changes have taken place, such as the flag now hanging on Fishman Island, which is the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, and they have been summarized into the territory of Whitebeard.

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

Marshal Steel Skeleton first nodded, and then shook his head and said: “It’s normal, it’s right, but normal doesn’t necessarily mean right, the location of Fishman Island is very important, if I can, I still hope to win the support of their position…”

“That’s hard to estimate, as far as I know, the king of Fishman Island, that sea knight Neptune is very repulsive to humans, and is good friends with Whitebeard, not to mention, although the law prohibits the relevant slave trade, but in private, what the hell is Mary Joa, Marshal you can’t not know, there is a slave trade between the merfolk and the fish-people, has been repeatedly forbidden, and even has the support of the Draco, in this case, it is good if people don’t turn their faces with you, you still want to get their support?” Diarmid gave the marshal a blank look.

Yes, Neptune didn’t start out as he did twenty years later, with a decent attitude toward humans.

At this stage, Neptune is very repulsive to humans, and it was not until Princess Otohime died that he repented, inherited the will of Princess Otohime, and began to work on allowing Fishman Island to communicate with society on the sea.

But unfortunately, in the end, it didn’t do much.

“The slave trade…” said the Steel Marshal with a flash of disgust in his eyes.

He also knew very well that the main reason for the separation between Fishman Island and the sea surface was the slave problem.

“Do you have any good ways to solve it? This slave trade problem? Marshal Steel asked again.

Diarmud was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: “Yes, as long as the marshal nods, I will go to Mary Joa now to kill all the Draco, and if there is no deal, there will naturally be no harm.” ”

“What nonsense are you kid talking about!?” The Steel Bone Marshal glared at Diarmud and said.

“Hahahaha, marshal, you also know that it is nonsense, what can I do about this kind of thing?” Diarmed laughed.

The steel bone marshal glanced at Diarmud, and then said with a little emotion: “Although the world government is rotten, the five old stars are actually very thoughtful and active, and they are not afraid to tell you that the five old stars also intend to reshape the relationship with Fishman Island, but they just don’t know where to start.” ”

“With the power of the five old stars, it shouldn’t be a problem to teach those lawless Draco a lesson, right? As long as the slave culture can be stopped, things will still turn around. Diarmude said softly.

“It’s not that simple, although the five old stars are the highest Draco, they can’t just arrange the affairs of the rest of the Draco… I don’t know exactly what the situation is, but…” The steel bone marshal said this, paused slightly, and his brows furrowed.

“But what?” Diarmud asked curiously.

Marshal Steel Bone thought for a while, and finally said: “The group of Draco on Mary Joa, who seem to be waste now, also seems to have a very key role, for the world government…”

“Function,” Diarmid muttered, and then asked, “Does it have anything to do with the legitimacy of the law of the world government?” ”

The twenty kings were the founders of world government, and their descendants enjoyed great power and were called descendants of God.

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

Marshal Steel Shook his head and said: “It’s not a political reason, it should be about some secrets of Mary Joa, I’m just chasing the wind, the specifics are not clear.” ”

“So…” Diarmid nodded, not asking any more.

After all, the marshal said that he was not clear, what else to ask?

“Forget it, these are not things we should think about.” The steel bone marshal shook his head and was no longer ready to chat about the dragon man.

After a pause, he looked at Diarmid again and said, “Is there really no good way?” ”

Diarmud smiled helplessly, and said: “It’s nothing more than strengthening ties or something, if you really want me to talk about it, marshal, have you considered forming a special force like the giant army, which will be served by the fish people?” This may improve our relationship. ”

The Steel Marshal glanced at Diarmud, and then said: “You may not know, but our navy has done similar things before. ”

Diarmud’s eyes lit up: “And then? ”

“And then, it failed.” The steel bone marshal said in a slightly helpless tone.

Without waiting for Diarmid to ask himself, he explained: “How to say, the merfolk don’t have to think about anything, they don’t care about men and women, they are relatively peaceful by nature, and they are not suitable for becoming members of the battle sequence, so we only absorbed the fish-people at that time…”

“Well, with ten times the basic strength of humans, and at the same time being able to breathe freely in the sea or something, this race, to be honest, I think is more adapted to this world than humans.” Diarmid nodded.

“Yes, we also fancy these at that time, but there are gains and losses, and while the Fish-Terrans have great strength, they are also naturally extremely irritable and rude, extremely undisciplined, and quite exclusive…” said the Steel Bone Marshal softly.

A flash of clarity flashed in Diarmud’s eyes, and then he asked, “Is this the reason for the final failure?” ”

“That’s right, in the end, the special unit formed with the fishmen, there was a rebellion, and finally disbanded, and since then, there have been no relevant proposals, maybe they are very good at being pirates or something, but being a navy … Really out of place. Marshal Steel Bone said helplessly.

“That’s a shame.” Diarmid said with some emotion, he really did not know that the Navy had made these efforts.

“But speaking of which, not all fish people are rude and cranky, right?” Diarmud asked again.

“Of course not, there are always cases, some fish people do not have that kind of irascible gene in their blood, they can tame their wild nature…” said the steel bone marshal.

Similar to Jinping, similar to Fisher Tiger, should be this kind of person, even Xiaoba is estimated to be.

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

“There’s nothing I can do then,” Diarmid shrugged.

Seeing this, the steel bone marshal did not have anything to say, this matter is so difficult to do.

But at this moment, Diarmud suddenly spoke: “Princess Otohime of Fishman Island, does she have great kindness to humans?” ”

The steel bone marshal frowned, and said with some hesitation: “I don’t know very well. ”

“Marshal, you are going too far, you want to appease Fishman Island, and you don’t understand the current situation at all, isn’t that empty talk?” Diarmid complained.

“Hahahahaha, I was wrong, so I sent someone to investigate the situation.” Marshal Steel said.

“Well, if Princess Otohime really has a well-intentioned stance towards mankind, then our navy may be able to start from this aspect and support her, and with her identity, maybe it can work wonders.” Diarmid said with a smile.

“I’ll try it.” Marshal Steel nodded and replied.

Taking the teacup on the table and taking a sip, Diarmud asked again: “I always feel that the Warring States General is busy all day and night, why don’t I feel busy?” Marshal, is there a problem with what I, the general, did? ”

“No problem.” Marshal Steel Bone smiled, and then explained: “The Warring States is special, he is not just a general, he also assumes a large part of the duties of a marshal…”

There was no concealment, the steel bone marshal said generously: “When I retire, or be promoted to the general marshal or something, he will definitely take over the position of marshal in the Warring States, so arrange these jobs for him now so that in the future, he can quickly accept all the power of the navy.” ”

“In this way, then I can touch the fish with peace of mind, hahaha.” Diarmid teased.

At this moment, the telephone worm in Diarmud’s pocket rang, he took it out and looked at it, and said: “It’s Gion, Marshal, I’ll leave first if there is nothing to do.” ”

The steel bone marshal smiled and nodded, “Let’s go.” ”
