Holy Land of Cats - Sandy Island

Alabasta, in the palace;

Before Longinus, there stood a solemn-looking Virgo and a shame-faced Les.

"In other words, did the mission fail?" Longinus whispered.

"I'm sorry, sir." Vergo squared off, "I underestimated that group, I didn't think that the king who took the authority could have that kind of power!"

Longinus wasn't surprised that the great cadre of the Yonko was somehow better than the great cadre of the Shichibukai, perhaps.

"I was careless, too, and it took me a lot of effort to escape when I missed capture." Les bowed his head and said, "Sir, please punish me."

As the words fell, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Seeing the silence around him, Les couldn't help but lookup.

Only a faint smile was on Longinus' face, "Has even your personality changed since you escaped? You never called me sir before, though."

Les turned pale and explained something when he saw a blast from Longinus in front of him.

"Wake up!"

It was as if the voice contained the soul's intimidation, so vast that it broke free of Les' sinking consciousness.

"What a strong aura, even Doffy, can't be compared to him, can he?" Longinus had condensed the Haoshoku to the point where it was collected and sent out, and naturally, Vergo wasn't personally aware of it. Still, from the slight folds and twisted ripples of air, he could also roughly guess how powerful the man's weaponry was.

"Ahhh!" Les gave a low growl, his eyes clearing, and almost fainted with shame when he realized what had happened.

"Senpai, I ... I ..." Les was going to walk outside when he couldn't catch his breath, "I'm going to go get that bastard!"

"Come back." Longinus' unquestionable tone caused Les to pause straight away, "The current you, even if you return to the Kingdom of Sentasia, will only be experiencing this shame all over again."

"Senpai, I ... I've dishonored you!" Les hung his head.

"Failure isn't scary, it's the inability to accept it that is scary." Longinus squared off, "Cheer up and don't let anyone else underestimate the faith of the Marine!"

"Well!" Les nodded heavily, "I understand, and next time, I will not fail!"

"It's good to have that belief, but you don't have to tense up too much." Longinus smiled, "Tell me, that man, what is he capable of?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing ...," said Les hesitantly, "the other side is probably the ability of the Mythical Type."

"Mythical Type?" Even Vergo could not help but make a noise; in this sea, people recognized the Mythical Type and the Logia Type as powerful; even if trash got it, it could make him a ... powerful trash

Even among the Logia Ability User who has the strongest reputation, Caesar and Caribou are the kind of goods that can't use on the stage. Hence, it is clear that the most important thing is to see the fruit of the ability of people's development.

But for Longinus, there is a definite distinction between strong and weak fruits, and the best proof of this is the Devil Fruit, which has a superior and inferior influence.

Another example would be a choice between Goro Goro no Mi and Nagi Nagi no Mi, and a slightly more sensible person would have no trouble deciding.

And Mythical Type can indeed be said to be a power that many people dream of it!

"At the last moment of my unconsciousness, I seemed to see the man turn into a cat."

"Cat?" Longinus looked a bit odd; how could the Evil King's dignified appearance have anything to do with a creature like a cat, right?

But once he remembered that Catarina Devon has a Mythical Type in a nine-tailed fox, Longinus was relieved.

"If it was a cat, then what he ate would have been a Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Cat Sìth." Longinus said quietly.

"Cat again? The legendary creature from the Golden Spring, a terrifying creature with the ability to manipulate humans and devour souls!" Vergo chimed in, "It make sense, the Evil King should have started the war for the souls of those who died in the war!"

"So that's it!" Cobra screamed, "No wonder he never accepts surrender, he's simply planning to turn Sandy Island into a place of death!"

"And all that so-called evidence of his should be a show for others after he used his ability to manipulate the royal families of various countries." Vergo said quietly, "It's just a pity that we couldn't expose him even if we knew for now."

"But one thing still doesn't make sense." Les said with a stern face, "Even if the Evil King is a Mythical Type Ability User in cat form again, he shouldn't be able to do anything to control an entire country, right?"

"Is it because of the cat?" Seeing a few people cast their puzzled glances at him, KCobra quickly explained, "Almost all countries on Sandy worship cats as gods, and we in Alabasta, for example, consider the Sea Cat to be a very sacred creature."

"What about Sentasia?"

"Nearly every household in Sentasia is documented as having a cat, and it is safe to say that the cat is a creature that accompanies the Sentasian from birth to death."

"It's not clear how the Evil King did it, but now it seems ..." Longinus wrapped his arms around the cat, "The cat should be the medium through which he unleashed his wide-ranging abilities!"

"Great, now that we know that ...," said Les excitedly, "Let's kill all the Sentasia cats and those Sentasia people should be back to normal, right?"

Longinus' eyes narrowed; it's a good thing it wasn't in another world, or this guy would have been waiting to be gas!

"No!" Cobra stopped sharply, "Lieutenant Commander Les, you don't understand what cats mean to the Sentasians, and if you did that, you would suffer extreme resistance from the Sentasians even if you saved them."

"When the time comes, it won't take an evil ruler to manipulate them and they'll go crazy too!"

"Aha?" Les asked incomprehensibly, "Those cats are indirect accomplices in causing them to become slaves!"

"For a cat lover, they don't mind," Cobra said with a shake of his head.

"It's crazy!" Les rubbed his head and suddenly brightened up, "By the way, senpai, didn't you wake me up with Haoshoku before?"

"Is that the same way you can wake them up?"

"It's unlikely," Longinus shook his head, "Those ordinary people are far weaker than you in terms of will, and they might not even resist the idea."

"In this situation, it's too difficult to rely on Haoshoku to awaken them, the only way is to completely defeat the Evil King!"

"Damn, isn't that back to the beginning?" Les said reluctantly, "If we can't find a reason that can sanction the Evil King, wouldn't all our previous efforts have been in vain?"

"It will not be in vain," Longinus smiled, "With your information, I'll have a better idea of what to expect for the next battle."

At this moment, an arrow-like figure leaped into the palace.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the entire army of Sentasia is attacking!"
