One Foot Stomping

"You son of a bitch, you're hurting me!" A sudden sound made Drake and a few others turn pale and look incredulously towards the area still shrouded in dust and mist.

The bloodied, long-haired big cat stepped out from the dim gray shadow, blood dripping down to the ground with a dripping sound, and the brutality and tyranny that filled his eyes were even more chilling.

"I've heard that cats have nine lives, so ..." said Longinus with an easy smile, "how many lives do you have?"

"A resurrection-like ability? Mythical Type is inevitably too difficult to deal with!" Virgo and a few others took a deep breath, but there was still little doubt as to how the fight would end.

In an evenly matched battle, the resurrection was indeed an incredibly fearsome ability. Still, in this crushing game, the so-called resurrection might as well be a skill that allowed for a quick escape.

"I don't have as many lives as nine, by the way, if I die again this time I'll really die, but ..." the big cat wiped his face with a lick of wet paws, his jeweled pupils glinting with the phosphorescence of darkness, "Only once have I died I can only exert my true strength after that, which comes from the Golden Spring."

"Now I'll show you the power that I couldn't even carry in that previous state, and then, dying in pain and remorse, even my soul will sink forever ah meow!"

"That sounds like quite a bluff, so let me see it now." Longinus approached step by step; his right fist clenched as if he could see the white light surrounding his fist.

"You'll see, it's what I'm going to rely on to become king of the world, meow!" The big cat shrieked furiously, and then, the purple and black flames that wrapped around its body turned into a hideous-looking spirit that flew into its mouth.

"Hundred cats at night!"

Countless cat souls of various shapes and sizes ejected from the Evil King's mouth, the spiritual pressure stirred, and the wind and clouds changed. Dark clouds obscured even the bright sky.

The gale around them raged. The spirits of the dead roared as if they had instantly arrived in the land of the dead.

"What a strong atmosphere, this guy's not bluffing!" Drake couldn't help but clench his hands.

"Only the Underworld Cat form again after dying once can really withstand the power of that many souls, sir he can fight ... amount⊙? ⊙!" As Vergo was speaking, he realized that one man and one cat had already crossed paths.

Boom, boom, boom!

A large cat fell from the sky, its eyes white and foaming at the mouth, its limbs still twitching unconsciously.

"What did you say you were going to be king of something?" Longinus dissipated the increasingly sophisticated flowing Busoshoku Haki of his fists and turned and tilted his head in question.

"No wonder Tokikake-senpai has been reluctant to challenge Longinus-senpai again, the gap between them is only bigger than the gap between Tokikake-senpai and me!" Les said with a lot of emotion.

"If I'm exposed, it'll only be a hundred times worse than him!" Vergo, on the other hand, looked at the Evil King twitching unconsciously on the ground and got a jolt, "No, we can't keep thinking like that, the more we fear, the easier it will be to expose!"

"Evil King Pizarro, your ambition to attempt to revive ancient weapons ends here!" Longinus pronounced the verdict verbally, stepping towards the Evil King.

The Evil King, who was waking up, heard Longinus' accusation and was so angry that he didn't faint, but you're still acting when I'm like this!

How much do you love to act!

However, Vergo, who was standing far away, had his pupils contracted sharply, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he pressed down first.

Sure enough, someone was soon already helping him with his questions.

"Ancient weapons? Is it an ancient weapon with the legendary power to destroy the world? How could this guy be involved with that legendary power?" Les' couldn't help but ask.

"As bizarre as it is, there is a real possibility that the secrets of ancient weapons lurk somewhere on Sandy Island." Longinus pretended to mention it carelessly, "And don't ask, knowing too much won't do you any good."

"I get it!" Les also realized the seriousness of the problem and said solemnly, "I'm going to keep this thing to myself."

"Longinus has never been the kind of man to be without a target, and if there really is a secret of ancient weapons hidden on Sandy Island, it must be very useful to Doffy, and I must find a way to pass that information on to Doffy."

Vergo forced himself to hold back his shock and excitement, pretending to be a solemn and dignified human being, and said, "So do I."

"Of course I can trust you guys!" Longinus turned his back on the three with his mouth cocked open, walking slowly and cleanly to the Evil King.

"Wait, I'm still useful, I'm still ..." the Evil King glared. Shouldn't someone like him who was still useful be lock into Impel Down for the best option?

Bang!

Before the Evil King finished his final worlds, his head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

"Well, this time dead through!" After realizing that the Evil King's breath had dissipated entirely, Longinus calmly made his conclusion.

"Whew! Things are finally resolved!" Les had a feeling of exhaustion; he hadn't thought there would be such a tricky incident on the first half of the Grand Line, "A supremely difficult task for me was easily accomplished in the hands of the seniors. It's not just a difference in strength, it's also a barrier in vision and boldness!"

"He didn't even hesitate at all when it was obviously such a precious ability, what a scary man!" Vergo felt guilty and touched his mushroom head, always worried that his great head would get a stomping as well.

"Hello, King Cobra?" Longinus asked after taking out Den Den Mushi and dialing the phone.

"Commodore Longinus, it's me!" Without waiting for Longinus to ask the question, Cobra volunteered, "Those Sentasia soldiers have regained consciousness, Commodore, is it true that things have been resolved?"

"Well." Longinus nodded, "The Evil King who attempted to turn the world upside down has paid the price for his crimes, Sandy Island, now at peace!"

"Hooray! Hooray!"

"Justice will prevail!"

"Thank you Commodore Longinus, thank you hero Longinus!"

The cheers from Alabasta's side were faintly transmitted through Den Den Mushi to this side of the Kingdom of Sentasia, giving Drake and a few others a sense of pride and honor as well.

"Now that it's settled, I'm going to hang up."

"Yes, Commodore."

Once Longinus hung up Den Den Mushi, he said to the three of them, "You three go back and help King Kobra with his finishing duties, I'll be right behind you."

"Yes!" Naturally, the three would not question Longinus' intentions for remaining here and quickly turned away on command.

After seeing the three men's backs disappear from his eyes, only then did Longinus play with his Den Den Mushi, "It's time to finish up my side of the story!"
