From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Then, the wooden board obviously couldn't bear the force and was about to sink with Mihawk.

Just when Mihawk was about to change position again, he suddenly felt the wooden board under his feet become solid and supported him?

Like stepping on the ground?

Not far away, Gion also landed on a wooden board, and like Mihawk, did not sink.

At this moment, the two of them tacitly stopped their attack and looked towards the warship in the distance.

Diarmuid was holding a wet towel in his hand, wiping the juice off his body, when he noticed Mihawk and Gion's gazes.

Diarmait smiled and said, "Go on, don't worry about me, I've only built an arena for you. As long as it's wooden, feel free to step on it; it won't sink..." Mihawk glanced down at the floating plank beneath his feet. Sure enough, the edge of the plank emitted a faint purple glow.

"Ability? The legendary gravity fruit..." Mihawk felt a little heavy in his heart.

This admiral's ability gave him a natural advantage in naval battles. Even if he could defeat Gion, he would probably not be that guy's opponent.

However, there was no time for him to think about these questions. Gion trusted Diarmait very much. Since Diarmait said that the wooden board was fine, she did not hesitate for a moment. She exerted force with her feet, and the force that could have directly crushed the wooden board was borne by the fragile wooden board.

At the same time, Gion's figure pounced on Mihawk like a tiger, the Jinkun Luo in his hand flashed with lightning, and he shouted: "Thunder!"

At first she was like a ferocious tiger, and then, at this moment, her figure turned into a flash of lightning, so fast that she rushed to Mihawk's face in almost the blink of an eye.

Although Mihawk didn't trust Diarmait, he couldn't care less at this moment. He didn't even try to dodge, but suddenly raised the black knife in his hand. Ye blocked it and stood in front of him.

The next moment, Gion's sword, which was filled with endless thunder power, instantly slashed on his sword.

A powerful force erupted, and Mihawk's feet sank. Unexpectedly, the wooden board did not sink and break, but actually supported his fulcrum, allowing him to withstand the force of Gion's sword.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw plasma as solid as substance erupting from the Jin Kunluo, and then Gion's entire body turned into the color of thunder and lightning. Under the clear sky, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky and struck Gion directly.

The next second, the thunderbolt seemed to be the fuse, and Gion exploded.

The endless power of thunder directly submerged Mihawk.

With the two of them as the center, the violent thunder and lightning instantly spread across the sea surface. In just a short moment, the entire sea surface near them was covered with a layer of thunder, completely covering the sea water.

At this time, no one could be seen. The place where they were was filled with dazzling lightning, and they could not see the situation clearly.

However, before Diarmuid could release his Observation Haki to get a feel for the situation.

A dark green slash shot up into the sky, directly cutting through the dense thunder power. Mihawk's embarrassed figure also emerged from the sea of ​​thunder and leaped into the air.

At this time, Mihawk was indeed in a mess. His elegant aristocratic demeanor could no longer be maintained. The dress that looked very luxurious was tattered, and the top hat on his head disappeared, revealing his slightly sharp black hair.

Before Mihawk could fall, a knife suddenly shot out from the lightning that was about to dissipate around him. It was Jin Kunluo!

Although Mihawk was in a mess, his reaction speed was still very fast. He raised his hand and took out the broad black knife. Ye blocked in front of him, and the Jin Kun Luo stabbed directly into the blade in Mihawk's hand.

Then, Gion's figure emerged from the faint lightning, not giving Mihawk any chance to breathe. With a delicate cry, he said, "Pierce him, Thunder!"

Before Gion could finish his words, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly burst out from the tip of Jin Kunluo's sword. Then, the lightning was like a high-energy beam of light, shooting out towards Mihawk's black sword.

If Mihawk's black sword had not been of high quality and had not been wrapped in his powerful Armament Haki, he might have been pierced through by Gion.

But at this time, even if it failed to penetrate Mihawk's sword, the power of the lightning still directly knocked Mihawk away, and instantly pushed him hundreds of meters away.

At this time, Mihawk had been knocked out of the range of the wooden board by Gion's move.

There was no place to put his feet on. At the same time, no matter whether he would be able to learn skills like the Moon Step in the future, he had no idea how to do it now. He had no idea what to do and fell directly into the sea.

It was just a moment before Mihawk's head emerged from the sea, and before he could speak.

In the distance, Gion's body was flashing with electric sparks, like the god of thunder, floating in the air. A large amount of thunder power was emanating from her body, like a shooting electric current, constantly flying towards the sky.

In just a short moment, a dark cloud of moderate size had gathered in the sky which had been clear just a moment ago.

The dark clouds were very thick, pressing low over the sea, with flashes of lightning appearing from time to time.

"Thunderstorm cloud!" Gion suddenly shouted loudly.

Her palm turned into a claw, with dazzling lightning emanating from between her fingers, and at the same time, she suddenly pulled the void downwards.

The thick thunderclouds in the sky, following her guidance, instantly erupted with a large number of dense lightning bolts, directly covering the sea area where Mihawk was.

The sea surface was directly hit by the lightning plasma, as if something was ignited, causing a huge explosion.

After completing this attack, Gion was still floating in the air. Plasma was flowing through her body, and her hands were raised upwards. Her long black hair, which was originally tied behind her head, had now scattered and was flying back into the sky.

Her sword, Jin Kunluo, was also wrapped in lightning and hovered behind her, looking majestic.

Mysterious and strange lightning patterns appeared on both sides of Gion's cheeks, and the pupils of her eyes turned into a blank indigo. The aura on her body was so powerful that even Diarmait in the distance looked at her sideways.

"Is this... the Thunder Fruit that is said to be the strongest and invincible?" Diarmuid murmured with a slightly sighing tone.

To be honest, ever since Gion ate the Thunder Fruit, Diarmuid has never seen her use her full strength, nor has he had any further sparring with her.

All I know is that Gion had a great record in battle. Since then, (Linuo) has never been defeated. All the enemies who fought against her were defeated by her powerful strength.

Oh, by the way, except for Crocodile, the crocodile was 50-50. Because of the appearance of Marco and the change of plan, he easily escaped from Gion's offensive and slipped away.

Besides, that was only within the sea area under the responsibility of G-7, in the first half of the Grand Line. The enemies that Gion encountered were not very powerful, so Diarmait did not attach too much importance to Gion's "invincible" record.

It was not until this moment, when Gion defeated Mihawk with great force, that Diarmuid realized how powerful Gion had become.

No wonder she dared to say that Mihawk was no match for her before they even fought.

There is really no arrogance in this statement.

Maybe in kendo, Mihawk is stronger than Gion, but in terms of overall strength, Gion has surpassed Mihawk!

After the lightning continued to bombard her for a while, Gion raised her hand and grabbed the void again. The originally violent lightning power seemed to be tamed in an instant, flowing along her arm and into her body. Then, the thick thunderclouds in the sky dissipated in a moment, as if everything just now was an illusion.

The originally turbulent sea surface gradually returned to calm, and Mihawk's embarrassed figure slowly emerged from the sea.

He looked at Gion floating in the air in silence without saying a word.

Gion grabbed the floating Kinkunro in his hand, looked at Mihawk and said, "I have to admit that you are stronger in kendo, but you lost this battle, Joracol Mihawk!"

Chapter 194: Sakaski wants to deal with Kaido! ? (Fourth update)

Diarmait slowly lit a cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at the battle over there that had ended.

All in all, it ended a bit too quickly. Looking back now, it was probably because the battle didn't take place on land.

If we find an island and let Gion and Mihawk fight each other, even if Mihawk is slightly weaker than Gion, he will not lose so quickly.

There was no need for him to withstand so many attacks.

Therefore, when it comes to battles, the right time, place, and people have a huge impact.

Just like what Garp said before, if he and Whitebeard were to fight, who would win would basically depend on who had better luck.

Diarmuid was also thinking about Mihawk's arrangements.

Capturing him like this would obviously be detrimental to the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan, which is very important to the navy.

It is not so easy to find someone like him who does not care much about things, does not cause trouble, and is strong enough to fill the position.

Just when Diarmuid was thinking about how to deal with Mihawk.

The Den Den Mushi he was carrying suddenly rang.

Diarmait came back to his senses, raised his hand and took out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket. After taking a look at it, he was a little surprised.

Sakaski?

Although his relationship with Sakaski is very good now, the two have reached a certain understanding.

But on weekdays, we seldom interact with each other.

It’s not that I’m trying to hide any relationship or anything like that, there’s no need for that, it’s mainly because Sakaski is such a dedicated guy.

Diarmait seemed like a very insignificant general, as his job was basically clerical work, just signing documents.

Sakaski, the candidate for admiral, is much more active. He is either beating up pirates or on his way to beat up pirates.

Sometimes I think, if all the navy were as dedicated as Sakaski... that would be really terrifying.

There are so many thoughts in my mind, but reality is just a moment.

Although Diarmait was a little surprised as to why this guy contacted him suddenly, he still picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered the call.

"Sakaski? That's really rare." Diarmuid said to Den Den Mushi with a smile.

Sakaski was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your vacation, Diarmait."

Diarmuid didn't care that he wasn't addressed as 'General' or anything like that. After all, they were related, so there was no need to be so distant.

"Hahahaha, nothing." Diarmuid said with a smile.

After a brief pause, Diarmait asked, "What's the matter? You don't seem like the type to think of getting in touch with me when you're bored."

Sakaski gave Den Den Mushi a stiff smile before saying, "There's something I need your help with."

"What is it?" Diarmait asked directly.

"You are not at the headquarters and may not have received the news yet. Teacher Zefa submitted his retirement application the day before yesterday." Sakaski said.

Diarmuid was stunned for a moment. This was not the first time that Teacher Zefa had done this.

If it were someone else, who kept applying for retirement but was never able to do so, they would probably feel like they were just trying to gain fame.

But everyone in the navy knew that Mr. Zefa was not doing these fancy things, but he really wanted to step down from the position of admiral and move to another position.

The reason why he couldn't step down was that his superiors really wouldn't let him go, that's all, there wasn't any other twists and turns.

"Teacher, he really is..." Diarmait said with a little emotion.

Then Diarmait asked again: "How was it this time? Was it rejected again?"

"No, the reason why Mr. Zefa was not approved to retire before was probably because once he retired, only General Zhan Guo would be left, which was really inappropriate. But now, if he retires, you will help to take over, and the general's reputation will not be tarnished. So the marshal is already tempted. After all, it is not appropriate to always reject Mr. Zefa, and there is no suitable reason now." Sakaski said softly.

Diarmait's eyes flashed, and then he said, "That's the truth. In other words, this time, the teacher is very likely to successfully withdraw, right?"

"That's right." Sakaski said with certainty.

"In other words, the general position that is currently unfilled will become vacant? Sakaski, you have your eyes on this position and want my help, right?" Diarmuid asked with a smile.

Like Diarmuid, Sakaski never concealed his ideals and ambitions of becoming a general or a marshal.

After all, this isn't a mean or shameful thought, so what's there to hide?

So after Diarmuid asked, Sakaski said without hesitation: "Of course, I'm already one step behind you, so naturally I want to catch up with you as soon as possible. Are you worried that I will pose a threat to you and don't want to help me?"

The second half of the sentence was obviously meant as a joke.
