Vergo's Gift (3/5)

Vergo, who stood watching from a distance in silence, contrasted with the sea of cheering around him, as if he were a wandering traveler from the world.

"This man, he does have a talent for stirring people up, very different from all the marines I've seen on the Grand Line before, and Doflamingo is right, this guy ... is dangerous!"

"Looks like I'm going to have to be a hardcore justice Marine for a long time to come!"

...

"You ... have actually killed His Majesty the King!" The brains of the surrounding royal family are a bit crash, instinctively wanted to rebuke loudly. Still, as soon as they opened their mouths, they met the cold eyes of those people, and their momentum could not be lowered, "Killing ... killing is not good, killing is not right, that... . nothing else, so we'll be off."

"Don't spare these accomplices, kill them!"

"Marine-sama is right, this is a trial by justice!"

These royals were already feeble, and one by one, they were still clinging to their packages, but if someone hadn't been dropping off to draw fire, they would have been torn to shreds by the people's anger.

They were surrounded by the crowd three times inside and three times outside, so naturally, they could never escape again.

The killing was soon over, and there was a faint sound of suppressed weeping in the crowd, the emptiness, and confusion that follows vengeance.

The package that a group of royal family members held in their arms until death was opened, and inside was a shining treasure, all kinds of beads, jade and gems, diamond rings, and necklaces. Almost all of the royal family's most valuable treasures were taken.

"Even if it's not all the wealth, just this is enough to make the person who owns it leap into the world's top wealthy!"

"The Flevance royal family's wealth was already quite famous throughout the North Blue, and to be used by them as the foundation of a restored nation, the value of these treasures is absolutely immeasurable!"

"Maybe, if you convert to berries, the lowest unit of this pile of treasure is a billion!"

The foreign travelers hiding behind the Marine watched it all with eager eyes and longing for a good fantasy.

At this time, an "elder" came out from among the Flevance, although he looked only forty or fifty years old at the most, among the Flevance who had died young, he was indeed considered an elder.

And such a rare elder was naturally very prestigious in Flevance, and when he stepped forward, the weeping crowd was suddenly much quieter.

"For us who have abandoned by the world, we are fortunate to met a true Marine of integrity like you at the end of our lives."

The elder choked his voice and said, "I know that most of us have reached the end of our lives. But, we were luckier than our ancestors, or at least, we learned that we were not cursed, and even killed our enemies ourselves."

"As dying men, we no longer have many regrets, all that remains is to return your kindness."

"So, Marine-sama, if you don't mind, please take all this treasure with you!"

"Even I would despise myself if I did that." Longinus smiled and refused.

"Marine-sama, I know that, you helped us this time, you will definitely be disciplined when you go back, if we just pretend that we don't know anything, are we still human?"

The Flevance who had stopped crying was shouting along.

"Yes! Marine-sama, we won't live much longer anyway, so it's useless to take this treasure, so you can just take it!"

"This is the only reward we Flevance can come up with, so please accept it!"

All those foreign travelers were staring at this shocking scene, come on, this is billions, if not tens of billions of berries, can we stop pushing and shoving like this? It's giving us cramps to watch!

Bastard, let Captain Longinus go. Come at me with anything!

"Oh, how about this." Longinus smiled and crouched down, taking a gold coin from the pile of treasure, "This will be my payment!"

"How can this be, that's all ..." the elder eagerly discouraged.

"Everyone listen to me first." Longinus soothed, "I've invited famous doctors from all the countries of the North Blue to come here, they might have a way to cure your ailments, and then they can ease the pain for an extended period of time."

"These treasures were originally exchanged by the royal family for the lives of your ancestors, and now, transferring them to you for healing is precisely the best option."

"This ..."

"There's a long way to go, so take this money and go start your lives over!" Longinus waved his hand and turned his head away without looking back.

"Tens of billions of berries to say no to a fortune, he, Captain Longinus, is too great! Is this ... the real Marine?" Those foreign travelers were so impressed by the scene that they thought about going back and spreading the legendary deed.

"Thank you, Marine-sama, we Flevance will never forget your great kindness!" The people of Flevance fell to their knees on the ground, moved to snotty shouts.

In the crowd, a young boy in a spotted woolly hat also knelt with his parents. They were admiring the figure in the coat of justice in front of him.

...

On the way back, Longinus suddenly spoke up, "After following you for so long, isn't it time for you to come out and meet you, honourable one?"

Hearing what Longinus said, the surrounding marines were instantly on alert.

A man with a mushroom head and clumps of flesh stuck to his face emerged from the alley, looking young, in his twenties, and carrying a suitcase in his hands, from which blood occasionally dripped.

Not to mention the fact that he looked suspicious from his line of work, but the suitcase dripping with blood was already very alarming.

Drake asked upfront. " Why are you following us ? Not to mention the fact that you're trying to get us out ?"

"My name is Vergo." The mushroom-headed man said, but his gaze was on Longinus, "A slave imprisoned by the Donquixote family, and I came to you because I want to join the Marine!"

"Vergo!" Longinus quickly searched his memory for the other's name, the only one of the four highest cadres of the Doflamingo who wasn't watertight. If he wasn't overly egotistical like his boss, that future Dressrosa fight might not have even happened.

"Except, not only is this guy planning to go undercover four years earlier than in his original trajectory, but he's still planning to use me as a getaway, so is this the butterfly effect I'm bringing?" Longinus thought with amusement.

"Imprisoned in the Donquixote family?" Drake asked quietly, "So why are you here now?"

"It's simple." Vergo opened the trunk, and inside were three deadheads, "Because, I killed all of the Donquixote family!"
