From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But what a pity, platinum lead disease...Frevans.

Chapter 227: Colonel Jinbe’s experiences at the Marine Headquarters.

Marine Headquarters. Marineford.

A fat blue murloc, wearing a colonel-level navy cloak, was walking towards the Fortress of Justice in Marineford.

It's Jinbe for sure.

As soon as we entered the fortress, two vice admirals came towards us.

Jinbei moved slightly to the side of the corridor, made room, and saluted.

The two vice admirals smiled upon seeing Jinbei and greeted him, "Hey, Jinbei, are you back?"

"Yes, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan and Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel." Jinbei replied with a smile.

In fact, at the beginning, Jinbei didn't want to come to Marineford to be a navy, especially because Diarmait's eyes were too eager, which made him feel guilty.

In addition, he himself does have a certain aversion to humans on the sea, which is a common problem among most people in Fishman Island.

Before coming here, he was already prepared to be discriminated against and humiliated.

But when he arrived, he found that it was not the case at all. The atmosphere in Marineford was very friendly, especially after he joined Diarmait's army. The high-ranking generals were very kind to them, the murloc navy.

For example, the two men in front of him are the direct lieutenant generals of General Diarmait, and their status in the headquarters is also very high. But even so, even if they occasionally have gatherings, they will drag Jinbei, a naval captain, to participate.

Even through these gatherings, he had met the Navy hero, Garp, the former Navy "603rd" Admiral, Zephyr, and several of Garp's grandchildren.

In short, so far, Jinbe and his group of fish-man navy have been living in a very good condition in Marineford. They have not been treated unfairly and even feel that they are being treated preferentially.

"Don't be so polite. It seems like we're getting distant." The flying squirrel patted Jinbei's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I haven't gotten off work yet." Jinbei replied with a smile.

The men were all about the same age, and Jinbe's character was generous and loyal, so he got along very well with the Flying Squirrel. And Huoshaoshan was a guy with excellent character, and there were few people in the Marine Headquarters who couldn't get along with him.

In short, after almost a year in Marineford, Jinbe no longer had the resistance he had before, and even felt that this place was very good. It would be interesting to be a marine and become a vice admiral like Flying Squirrel or Burning Mountain in the future. If he worked hard, maybe he could become a candidate for admiral?

Or maybe... I can become the first admiral of the merman tribe?

If this can be achieved, it will definitely greatly improve the conflicts between Fishman Island and the surface society.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited, and he also understood Princess Otohime's intentions and painstaking efforts, as well as the goodwill of Admiral Diarmuid and others towards Fish-Man Island.

After chatting with Flying Squirrel and Burning Mountain for a while, Jinbei walked into the fortress again. After a few turns, he took the elevator and arrived at the top floor of the fortress.

There are only four offices on the top floor of this fortress of justice, namely the marshal's office and the offices of three generals.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator, I saw that the door of General Sakaski's office was open, and Tina, General Diarmuid's secretary, was walking out.

Sakaski's voice was still following behind him.

"Tina, go tell Diarmait that if he doesn't approve the funds for me, I will have the front line kill all the pirates caught in the New World on the spot. At worst, we will both die!" Sakaski said very unhappily.

Tina turned around and said, "Admiral Sakaski, if you kill all those pirates, Wufeng will be short of manpower and funds, and my admiral will be even less likely to approve the money for you."

"That's why I said, at worst, both sides will be destroyed!" Sakaski waved his hand nonchalantly.

Tina could only roll her eyes helplessly, then said: "Okay, I will pass these words on to my general..."

Jinbei watched the scene in the corridor with some curiosity.

Although he has been here for almost a year, he still hasn't figured out the complicated relationships between the senior officials in the Navy Headquarters. After witnessing this scene today, he had some guesses in his mind.

It seems that the relationship between General Sakaski and General Diarmuid is not good?

Is there any conflict between the two?

Even though their offices are on the same floor, they don't communicate face to face about these issues. Instead, they ask people to pass messages along and say harsh words like "all or nothing".

Is it really okay?

Won’t it affect the unity within the navy?

Just as Jinbei was thinking about this, Tina was about to close the door and leave Sakaski's office.

Suddenly, Sakaski said, "By the way, Tina, ask that guy if he wants to go drinking tonight. I'm going to the Navy Club to teach Ace tonight. If he's interested, let's go drinking together."

Tina smiled and said, "I see, you really like Ace. I will tell my general."

"Hahaha, Ace is a man who wants to be an admiral of the navy. I like ambitious kids." Sakaski laughed.

Jinbei was confused again. What was going on? One second they were fighting to the death, and the next second they were going to have a drink together?

Jinbe certainly knew Ace and others, and he had also met Garp's grandson two or three times. But he didn't expect that Admiral Sakaski liked that kid so much?

After closing the door, Tina also saw Jinbei and waved with a smile, "Boss Jinbei, are you here to see the admiral?"

Jinbei is the captain of the Fishman Marine Special Forces. The Fishmen under him call him 'Boss Jinbei'. People like Tina follow suit and join in the fun, but Jinbei doesn't really care about it.

Hearing Tina's question, Jinbei smiled and said, "Yes, I want to ask the admiral for leave."

After a brief pause, he asked in a low voice, "Is the general on bad terms with General Sakaski?"

Tina was stunned for a moment, then said, "How could that be? It should be said that General Sakaski's best friend in the headquarters is my general."

This is indeed true. Although Sakaski's popularity has improved in recent years, for example, his relationship with Garp has become better and better, and his relationship with Kuzan is not as awkward as before, but to be honest, his best friend should be Diarmait.

"Really? Then Admiral Sakaski just said he wanted to fight to the death with Admiral Diarmait..." Jinbei said in surprise.

"Hahahaha, this, this is too normal. You know my admiral, he is in charge of the economy and development of our navy. Three months ago, assisted by Kuzan, Vice Admiral Kake, Vice Admiral Onigumo, Vice Admiral Dalmatian and the Tailed Beasts, more than 30 rear admirals and dozens of brigadier generals, they launched a campaign to clean up the gateway waters in the New World, destroying more than 60 pirate groups of all sizes, killing more than 20,000 pirates, and arresting more than 70,000 pirates, villains, and criminals. The entire gateway waters of the New World were brought under the direct jurisdiction of our navy, and we won a great victory." Tina said.

"Of course I know this. I was also involved in it." Jinbei said with a smile.

"Yeah, but even though we won, our navy suffered heavy losses. Over thirty ships were lost, and there were over thirty thousand wounded, along with compensation for over six thousand fallen sailors. Then there's the post-war reconstruction of islands and naval bases. All of that costs Bailey. My Admiral controls the Navy's financial lifeline, and all this money comes from him. How could he not feel bad? And then Admiral Sakaski asked him to allocate a huge sum of money to expand the G-1 base in the New World and to start recruiting at all three bases in the New World... It's a wonder my Admiral agreed. They had a heated argument at a meeting earlier. Admiral Sakaski accused Admiral Diarmait of being stingy and delaying the Navy's expansion in the New World. Admiral Diarmait accused Admiral Sakaski of being too aggressive and taking too big a step. He said he was worried that a single defeat would completely destroy the maritime situation the Navy had just established in the New World. It almost led to a fight..." Tina said with a smile...

"Ah, this..." Jinbei murmured in confusion.

Given his status, he only knew that the navy had won a great victory and he himself participated in it and made some contributions. However, in such a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people, his mere two hundred people could not play a big role, so his contribution was not great.

He had no access to the series of disputes among the navy's top brass afterwards, but he didn't expect that behind the victory, the two admirals almost got into a fight?

"Hahaha, it's okay, this is normal. The various generals and factions pursue different goals, and disputes between them are also the norm in Marineford, but these do not affect personal relationships much. Take General Sakaski and my general as an example, they can point at each other's noses and curse at each other in the conference room, and even throw cups and documents at each other, but after the meeting, they may drink and chat together that night. It's okay, we are used to it." Tina said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the two walked to the door of Diarmait's office together.

Tina had the privilege of not having to knock on the door, so she pushed the door open without any courtesy and walked in, with Jinbei following behind her.

As soon as he entered the office, Jinbei saw General Diarmait. He was sitting behind his desk, a smoking cigar in his mouth, leaning back in his chair, reading a document in his hand. In front of his desk stood a girl who looked not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

And this little girl was actually wearing the navy's cloak of justice. Judging from her epaulettes, she was a major.

"Apply to go to the New World front?" Diarmait ignored Tina and Jinbe, but looked at the document and asked with some confusion.

The female navy lieutenant standing in front of the desk said, "That's right, Admiral. Let me go to the front line."

"You are under Gion's command, so just tell Gion about this matter." Diarmait said, looking at the female major.

As a result, the major said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Sister Gion disagrees..."

"Hahahaha, I knew it. Okay, Major Robin, tell me why you want to go to the New World front." Diarmait laughed.

That's right, the young major before him was Nicole. Robin had originally joined the Navy at G-7. With Gion's care, she didn't have to start as a clerk. Plus, she studied command, and was much smarter than those illiterate privates. So, she started as a sergeant.

After working for a few years, he became a lieutenant at 2.9th grade, and then followed Gion to the headquarters. Not long ago, he was promoted to major in the Naval Headquarters.

"Although our navy has cleared the New World's gateway waters and won, there is no doubt that the pirates will continue to counterattack, and continuous wars will break out afterwards," Robin analyzed.

Diarmait nodded and said, "Yes, and then what?"

"I judge that the fighting on the front line may be low-level and stalemate lasting for three to five years. If I go there now, I will be frequently involved in the fighting, and the chances of making merit and getting promoted will be greater. I want to gain more merit as soon as possible." Robin said without hesitation.

"So, you are not going there for justice? You just want to make a contribution?" Diarmait asked with a smile.

"That's right." Robin nodded.

"Hahahaha, what you said makes sense and is very honest. But Robin, your current strength is not suitable for going to the front line. Gion was right to deny your idea. Before you came, she had already arranged a position for you, and it is not easy for me to deny her arrangement. So, it is useless for you to come to me, hahaha." Diarmait laughed.

Robin's face turned bitter, and then he asked, "General, what position did Sister Gion assign me?"

"In the Intelligence Department, she has a very good relationship with Chief of Staff Ahe. You'll be transferred to the Intelligence Department as a civilian. If nothing else, it'll be safe. Once you're stronger, consider going to the front lines," Diarmuid said, puffing out smoke.

Chapter 228 The man who influenced the world situation!

"Intelligence Department???" Robin wailed, then said, "General, I don't want to go to the Intelligence Department. They're notorious for not getting any benefits and being the number one place to take the blame."

Diarmait's face darkened upon hearing this. "How can you say that? The Intelligence Department is the most important part of our navy. Do you know what this war is about?"

"Intelligence, economy." Robin rolled his eyes.

"That's right, intelligence is so important. How can you say that about the Intelligence Department?" Diarmait scolded.

Robin didn't seem to be as afraid of Diarmait as he had been in earlier years, and said reluctantly, "But the Intelligence Department is notoriously slow to promote, General."

"What are you talking about? I also came from the Intelligence Department. Now I am a general, right?" Diarmuid continued to teach him.

"People like you, General, are rare in a century. We can't use individual cases to represent the general phenomenon!" Robin retorted.

"Your sister Zhiyuan cares a lot about you. The Intelligence Department is the best place to train a person's overall view and it is also a good place to produce generals. Maybe your promotion will be slow, but after a few years of training there, you will become an excellent naval general. You have accumulated a lot of experience and you will be able to make a breakthrough. You are very talented in command, so go and hone your skills and don't let your sister Zhiyuan down." Diarmuid said again.

Robin was silent for a while, then said, "Then please ask the General to allow me to visit Impelton..."

The reason why this little girl Robin wants to be promoted quickly is because only by holding a high position and joining the top of the navy can she have the opportunity to rescue her mother from Impelton, right?

In fact, she had visited her mother Nicole and Olbia many times in recent years and knew very well that she ate well and slept well in Impelton. She lived in a single room and even received every issue of the newspaper first. The cell was full of literary atmosphere and looked more like a study than a prison.

Over the years, Olbia not only did not suffer any abuse in Impelton, but it seemed that his knowledge had even improved.

Robin knew very well that this was all because of the general's care.

Otherwise, how could her mother have received such preferential treatment?

Diarmait glared at Robin, then said, "You've been talking for so long, but you actually just want to visit Impelton, right?"

"Although there is such a plan, it is just a backup option. My original intention is to go to the front line." Robin said very seriously.

Diarmait looked at Robin's determined gaze and finally sighed, "I know, I know. Go away, go back to Impelton. I'll give you a week off so you can stay with Olbia. But after a week, you must report to the Intelligence Department. Otherwise, I'll break your legs and send your mother to work in the Doldrums!"

Robin was not afraid of Diarmait's disdainful and threatening tone. Instead, he said with a smile, "I understand, General. Don't worry, I won't be absent."

"Hmph, one by one, they're really a worry." Diarmait complained unhappily and waved his hand, indicating that Robin could go away.

Robin didn't waste any time. He saluted Diarmait with a smile, turned around and nodded to Tina and Jinbei behind him, then left Diarmait's office.
