From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

The Garps standing by were stunned, with an expression as if the world had collapsed. Their hands were shaking, tears welled up in their eyes, and they almost fell to their knees and cried.

"Oh, I feel refreshed!" Diarmait burped and patted Garp's shoulder happily.

"I will kill you right now, you bastard!" Garp roared, his arms suddenly wrapped with armed domineering aura.

But before he could do anything, Gion, who was behind Diarmuid, smiled and took out a bag of donuts and said, "Garp?"

Garp was indeed a dog-faced guy, his expression changing very quickly. The moment he saw the donut, his face lit up with joy, and the powerful aura on his body immediately dissipated. He took the donut from Gion's hand and said with a smile, "I was just joking with you. Hahahahahaha, you young people really don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young."

After that, Diarmait and Garp did not stay in the port for long, but walked towards Marineford. The meeting was not until tomorrow, so there was no need to report or anything. Diarmait planned to go see Mr. Zephyr, whom he had not seen for a long time.

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

After all, he had completed a two-year long mission in the South China Sea, so it was normal for him to come back for a holiday. However, he was called back for a meeting halfway through the holiday. In short, he had nothing to do, so he followed Diarmait and walked towards Zephyr's house.

"Since you've fought before, Vice Admiral Garp, tell me for sure: who's stronger, you or Newgate?" Diarmait asked as they walked. Garp, with a donut in his mouth, glanced at Diarmait and said, "Do you sense an insurmountable gap?"

"More or less... You know, I've fought with Charlotte Linlin before. She must have been a very strong monster. At that time, I could barely fight her on equal terms. Now, I'm confident that I can fight her head-on without being at a disadvantage. Even if I can seize the opportunity, it's not impossible to win the battle. But... facing that guy Whitebeard, I have no idea how to win." Diarmuid did not hide anything and said it openly.

"That guy is the strongest in the world precisely because he's so unpredictable that he's unbeatable," Garp muttered. Diarmait frowned slightly and said, "So, you can't beat him either?"

"You can't say I can't win. I'm also known as the strongest marine!" Garp said arrogantly.

That’s right, Garp also has the title of the strongest, that is, "the strongest marine", which is also one of the best in the world. In terms of reputation level, he is no worse than Whitebeard.

"And then?" Diarmait asked again.

"Then, when I fight against someone of his level, victory or defeat is no longer just measured by strength. We all know each other well, so it's unlikely that there will be major flaws. Therefore, there are various factors that determine victory, but generally speaking, it can be summarized as... Whoever has good luck will win." Cap said while chewing a donut.

"I see. After all you've said, to sum it up, it's a fifty-fifty split, right?" Diarmuid rolled his eyes at Garp.

Cap gave Diarmait an unhappy look, and then said: "Do you look down on this 50-50 split? There are not many people in the world who can be 50-50 with me and Newgate." "Hahahaha..." Diarmait laughed.

He didn't deny it.

There are many masters in the navy, such as Marshal Steel Bone, Admiral Warring States, and Teacher Zephyr.

There are also Sakaski, Kuzan, Borsalino, Gion, Kake and others.

If we count further, we can also count out hidden bosses like Lieutenant General Jonathan 557, who is also very powerful.

However, when it comes to the ceiling of combat power, it is obviously the admirals of the navy. After all, the admirals of the navy are known as the highest combat power of the world government, and they also got the title of "the best in the world", but there is a lot of water in it.

But in fact, it is generally recognized within the navy that Garp, the naval hero, is the ceiling of the navy's combat power.

No matter how strong you are in the navy, you are not as strong as Garp...

In fact, Garp has always relied on his strong strength to hold on to this position, and no one is dissatisfied.

Even Diarmait, who often had a problem with Garp, agreed with this.

Hearing Diarmait's laughter, Garp patted Diarmait's shoulder and said, "It's okay if you can't win now. That's perfectly normal. However, I have high hopes for you. In my opinion, you have more potential for growth than Sakaski and the others... It's not impossible for you to defeat Whitebeard in the future."

"Really? You think so highly of me, hahahaha. Anyway, I wish you good luck." Diarmait laughed.

"By the way, how is Ace?" Diarmait changed the subject.

"Oh, I'm fine, hahahaha, you energetic little guy. If Zhan Guo hadn't urged me to come back, I would definitely stay there for a while..." Garp laughed.

"As a naval hero, please do more for me." Diarmait rolled his eyes at the guy.

"I have been carrying out long-term missions continuously for two years!" Karp said with a look of disgust.

While chatting and laughing, Gion, Garp and Diarmait had already arrived in front of Zephyr's courtyard.

The courtyard is still so quiet. Just looking at it from the outside, you can feel that the owner inside must be a very elegant person.

The door was open, which was the norm in Zephyr's house. After all, in Marineford, no one would dare to do anything rude in front of his door.

I walked in, crossed a lawn and entered the courtyard, and just in time I saw Teacher Zefa sitting cross-legged under the corridor, reading a book.

As if hearing the movement at the door, Teacher Zefa looked up, then a smile appeared on his face and said, "You are back too?"

"Ah, long time no see, Zephyr!" Garp responded casually.

Chapter 151: Garp: When Zhan Guo was young, he was even more irritable than me! (Part )

"What are you looking at?" Garp said as he sat down next to Zefa, sat down under the corridor, and raised his hand to snatch the book from Zefa's hand.

Zephyr was clearly used to Garp's behavior. He didn't look angry at all. Instead, he looked at Diarmait and said, "You've improved a lot. I heard that you fought that Whitebeard guy, but you didn't get hurt in the end?"

Diarmait and Gion first greeted Zephyr, then Diarmait said with a smile, "I've made some progress, but it's nothing to brag about. That guy injured me right from the start, but I wasn't hurt during the fight. I guess it's because he wasn't taking it seriously..."

"That's enough. In this world, there are not many people who can escape unscathed after fighting with that guy." Teacher Zefa smiled and waved to Diarmuid and Gion.

Diarmuid and Gion also walked forward very casually and sat on the corridor.

Garp thrust the book into Diarmait's hands, then looked at Zephyr and asked, "Are there any promising young men lately? Someone like Diarmait? I'm short of a few newcomers on my ship, and I can help you with them."

"People like Diarmait, do you think they are cabbages? But there are still a few good seedlings...." Teacher Zefa and Garp started chatting like this.

Diarmait took the book from his arms and took a look at it. Then he said with a surprised expression, "Isn't this a banned book?"

Gion also curiously leaned his head over Diarmait's shoulder and looked at the book in Diarmait's hand.

The title of the book is "Spark".

"Doragu's book!?" Gion exclaimed.

Garp, who was originally chatting with Zephyr, was suddenly confused. He turned around and asked, "What? Dorag's book? That bastard can write books?"

"He wrote more than one book." Diarmait rolled his eyes at Garp.

"Garp, you are Dragon's father after all, how come you don't know anything about it?" Gion teased with a smile.

"I deliberately ignored the information about 557. It makes me angry just by listening to it." Garp said cursingly.

"Possessing and spreading this book is a capital crime, Mr. Zephyr, hahahaha." Diarmuid raised "The Spark" in his hand and teased Mr. Zephyr with a smile.

Teacher Zefa didn't care at all and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a book that expounds on one person's thoughts. What's there to be convicted of? If you ask me, it's just the World Government that's seeing things that are out of place."

“That’s not what you say…” Diarmait sighed softly.

Diarmait knew only too well the power of books and ideas, and how terrifying changes they could bring.

After all, he lived in a great country in his previous life.

"Teacher Zefa, why did you suddenly start reading this book?" Gion asked curiously.

Zephyr was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to see how shameless the World Government is in Dragon's eyes..."

"Hmm?" Diarmait looked up at Zefa in surprise. He felt that there was something else behind the teacher's words.

"Oh? You also think they are shameless? Hahahaha." Karp didn't react and asked with a big laugh.

Zephyr glanced at Garp, then looked at Gion and Diarmuid and said, "Come to think of it, you still don't know what happened, right?"

"I'm curious too, teacher. You suddenly called us all back to the headquarters. Something big must have happened, right?" Diarmait nodded and asked softly.

Gion asked excitedly, "Are we going to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

However, the veteran Garp had come to his senses somewhat by this time. His expression gradually grew serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the higher-ups are interfering in our navy's affairs again?"

Zefa shook his head upon hearing this and said, "This time, I'm afraid it's not the higher-ups that are going to interfere in our navy's affairs, but our (BCCJ) navy that is going to interfere in the higher-ups' affairs."

Karp was stunned for a moment. He had never encountered this before.

A gleam of light flashed in Diarmait's eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Have you heard of the Draft Plan for the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Teacher Zefa said softly.

But it was obvious that beneath his calm expression, there was anger hidden.

As a big boss who had returned from the New World two days ago, he was naturally very curious. Why did Zhan Guo and Marshal Ganggu suddenly call back him, a general who had retired to the second line?

What happened?

Marshal Cyborg and General Sengoku did not hide anything from Zephyr and told him everything they had experienced in Mary Geoise.

After that, there was a ball of anger burning in Zefa's heart!

Garp and Gion were completely clueless. "Seven Warlords of the Sea? What the hell is that? They'd never even heard of it."

Diarmait murmured softly, "I'm pretty close to Stussy from the CP Agency, and she mentioned it to me... I heard it was a bill related to pirates?"

Teacher Zefa glanced at Diarmuid and said in surprise, "Stusi? That woman is very cunning, not as good as Gion at all. You should be careful when you come into contact with her."

Gion, who was eating melon on the side, blushed, glanced at Diarmait secretly, and said nothing.

Diarmait smiled and nodded, "Yes, teacher."

Zefa glanced at Gion again, smiled, and said nothing more. Then, his face straightened and he said, "Yes, this is indeed a bill related to pirates. It is still a draft plan at this stage, and the Five Elders have made up their minds to implement this draft..."

"What does it mean? I don't understand anything." Karp frowned.

"The so-called 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' means the legalization of piracy..." Teacher Zefa said in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, Diarmait's expression didn't change, but Garp and Gion were both stunned.

Soon, Garp reacted and punched the wooden floor of the corridor, causing the board to shatter. However, Mr. Zephyr didn't care about Garp's damage at all.

"Asshole!" Garp cursed, then stood up and said angrily: "What do you mean by legalizing piracy?!"

"Recruit seven great pirates and grant them the power to plunder legally. Correspondingly, their stance will change to that of the World Government. To put it simply, it is recruitment..." Zephyr said calmly.

At this point, Garp gradually calmed down. He sat cross-legged on the corridor again, took a deep breath and said, "Don't tell me that Zhan Guo and Brother Cyborg both admitted it?"

Zephyr glanced at Garp, then said, "What do you think?"

"How is it possible!?" Karp said without hesitation.

In this matter, he absolutely did not believe that Zhan Guohe and the Marshal would swallow their anger.

Teacher Zefa then smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible. I heard from the Marshal that if he hadn't stopped him, Zhan Guo would have made a scene in the office of the Five Elders, hehe." "That's more like him, although Zhan Guo usually looks calm and composed." Garp nodded.

Teacher Zefa continued, "Yes, he seems so calm and composed on weekdays that I almost forgot that when he was young, he had a worse temper than you..." Diarmuid's eyes flashed with surprise. After all, he had never seen the young Warring States general.

The Warring States generals had always given him the impression of being calm and composed, and very magnanimous.

If I have to say, the word "Nachi-shogun" is very appropriate to describe him.

In addition, he also had beautiful calligraphy, so Diarmuid felt that the Warring States general was a Confucian general who was proficient in both civil and military affairs.

Today, I heard Garp and Zephyr talking about the past... It turns out that the tempers of the Warring States admirals in the past were even more violent than Garp's?

Never expected it!
