Chapter 336: Enthusiastic People
The first half of the Grand Line, G2 branch;
In the middle of the base chief's office, Longinus quietly flipped through the documents.
Since the second slave emancipation movement, Kizaru transferred to the Headquarters, Longinus was the logical successor to the G2 branch of the base chief.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"The door is open, please come in."
The man who entered was cranial and tall," Vice Admiral Longinus, there is a matter that I think needs to be reported to you."
"Oh, it's Rear Admiral Srawberry." Longinus closed the paper and asked solemnly, "What is it?"
"The base received a report call yesterday, the person claimed to be an enthusiastic people." Strawberry said with an odd face, "said that a group of fishman pirates from the Grand Line had occupied a small island in the East Blue, and colluded with some degenerate marines in the East Blue, wantonly enslaving and killing the local residents, causing an extremely bad impact in the area."
"The fishman pirates on the Grand Line went to the East Blue?"
"Yes! I received a report yesterday and immediately ordered Branch 20, 27 and 31 of the East Blue to verify, although still not sure whether there is scum in the Marine, but the identity of that group of fishman pirates is basically confirmed."
Strawberry continued, "If it were just ordinary fishman, there would be no need for me to bother Vice Admiral, but the truth is, the identity of that group of fishman pirates is still a bit complicated."
"Tell me about it."
"The leader of the fishman pirates called Arlong, is the former number three of the Sun Pirates, and other pirates, are also split from the Sun Pirates fishman." Strawberry said with a grave face.
"After that incident back then, it was the joint efforts of you, Vice Admiral Longinus, and Queen Consort Otohime, that the conflict between the government and the Fishman was temporarily resolved, and that Fishman Jimbei even became Oka Shichibukai as a result."
"If the relationship between the two races breaks down again because of this group of fishman pirates, then your efforts, Vice Admiral, will all be in vain!"
"You are wrong about one thing, Rear Admiral Strawberry." Longinus said squarely, "I do value peace between the two communities, but to ignore the disasters caused by those fishman pirates in pursuit of peace would be putting the cart before the horse!"
"I understand, I'll go and get that group of fishman pirates back." Strawberry said.
"No, it's better for me to make the trip."
"Just this level of small pirates, to bother you Vice Admiral to step in, that is too much to look up to them!"
"This matter is more or less related to me, and if I go, I may have a better solution. And ..." Longinus pondered for a moment and said, "That man seems to have signs of heading to the East Blue, and if I go, I can also put the headquarters and the government at ease."
Hearing what Longinus said, Strawberry also solemnly, "That kind of man appearing in the weakest East Blue is indeed unable to make people relax."
"Then, I will temporarily trouble you and the remaining four Rear Admirals to share the responsibility for this side of the branch."
"Yes!"
Only when Strawberry left did Longinus smile faintly, "This seems to make my reason for heading to the East Blue even better!"
...
East Blue, Cocoyasi Village.
"One adult is 100,000 berries, one child is 50,000 berries, lowly human beings, quickly offer your treasures to please the old man!" The Fishman with the crooked nose shouted with open hands.
"We should be thanking the kindness of Brother Arlong for not robbing all their money, although ... this is just so we can rob more money next time, hahahaha!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't tell them such a cruel answer, I'm still waiting to enjoy that desperate look on their faces when they come back next month!"
Everyone is desperately trying to keep their heads down because, for fear, if they see that ugly face, they won't be able to resist the urge to go up and fight these monsters.
"If they come every month, how are we going to survive?"
"Bear with it, at least we're all alive now."
Looking at these silent and patient humans, the evil dragon almost excited that his body trembled, he finally experienced the "superior race" feeling of superiority in these ordinary people.
"Fellow citizens, has all the money been collected?"
"Everyone has paid."
"Well, then, we'll come back next month."
Just when everyone was relieved, a Fishman suddenly shouted, "Boss Arlong, there seems to be another private house far away from the village!"
"That's cooking smoke coming out of the house!"
"Ahahahaha! Still really dishonest!" Arlong laughed and turned around, his playful gaze sweeping over the crowd, "But you guys don't have to worry, I always have more than enough tolerance for the weak, as long as that person is willing to pay, I won't kill anyone."
"Consider this, the mercy of the superior race!"
See Arlong towards the back of the village, many people panicked.
"It's not good, Bellemere has been spotted!"
"A massive two hundred thousand is not something I think she can afford to take out."
"In any case, first let Nami and Nojiko not go home, just 100,000 berries, Bellemere should still barely be able to take out."
...
The beach at the edge of the coast;
"Seniority is still too superficial after all, promoted to Vice Admiral just over two years, even if the top brass is optimistic about me again, I guess they have to consider the opinions of others." Longinus secretly pondered.
Among the three persons, Sakazuki, even the youngest Aokiji, is in the position of Vice Admiral for nearly ten years.
Compared to them, he is indeed too young.
"Although the three Admirals are consistently as a standard in the Marine, but there are also no exceptions. Take this past ten years, in the case of Garp refused to be promoted to Admiral, and Zephyr semi-retired, the Headquarters is only one man to support the scene, Admiral Sengoku."
"Moreover, the mechanism of the Navy is not rigid, and even a one-step situation like Fujitora and Ryokugyu can happen, so it is not impossible to make the three admirals into the four admirals."
"The key is how it works."
"It is impossible for the Headquarters to break with tradition for no reason, and to make this plan a reality, unless my merits can go further."
Just as Longinus pondered his following plot, a crisp voice interrupted his musings.
"Nē, Nē, uncle, are you a beast tamer?"
Longinus came back to his senses and found two little girls stopped in front of him, chattering and shouting like they had found a new land.
"I'm already an uncle?" Longinus secretly sighed and smiled gently, "I am not a beast tamer, why, what do you want?"
"You're lying!" The slightly shorter little girl gasped and pointed her little handout, "I clearly saw you talking to a very, very big bird just now!"
"No, Nami, that's the big, big, big lion!" The slightly older little girl corrected.
"No, no, no, Nojiko, how can a lion have wings?"
"You're the one who's wrong, Nami, big birds don't have four limbs!"
PS: Uncle Longinus is now 24 years old (one year younger than me ('-ω ก ̀)).
