Ope Ope no Mi

Longinus returned to the Headquarters before Gion and others, but he was not too worried; with Issho on the way back to sit, there are not many people in the New World who can stop them.

After returning to the Headquarters, Longinus went to Sengoku to report; this time, the disturbance is not minor; he must still follow the procedure.

At the same time, he also found something.

Fleet Admiral Kong's presence at the Headquarters is becoming less and less frequent, and the affairs handled by Admiral Sengoku and busier and busier.

"Is this the rhythm of promotion for all of them?" Longinus thought secretly.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Come in!"

Longinus pushed open the door of the room, and inside there was only Sengoku, who is now sitting in Kong's office, and as for his good friends, it seems that they have gone to play elsewhere.

After seeing Longinus push open the door, Sengoku was also slightly relieved, "You are finally back, I almost planned to let Sakazuki to collect you."

He had long received information about the chase of one man and one dragon.

"It's a good thing it wasn't like that, or we would have had one more big problem!" Longinus said, shaking his head.

"Yes! It's really our turn to have a headache again when we get Kaido back!" Sengoku sighed.

The Marine Headquarters caught Kaido not once or twice; it is reasonable to say that it is impossible to let him escape every time.

In fact, the Headquarters and the government did not know what to do with this time bomb, finally turned a blind eye and deliberately disappeared on the way to transport Kaido to the execution.

Because the body is the dragon's sake, even if he is chained to Kairoseki chains, so that he is temporarily incapacitated, as usual, is unable to ignore the strong one.

One hundred percent purity of Kairoseki can't even make his huge body lose too much strength.

This kind of person held in Impel Down is a time bomb; Impel Down may be blown up at some point.

To ensure safety, it is not safe to have a top-level fighter unless it is to have Magellan and Shiryu watching over him day and night.

So, here's the question.

For the government, the exchange between two war powers infinitely close to an Admiral for the permanent imprisonment of a pirate emperor.

Is it worth it? Of course, it's not worth it.

For the government, the pirates initially are not their most important enemy, especially for the shit-stirring body of Kaido; it is more so.

Instead of tying his hands to keep a time bomb around, it would be better to let Kaido wreck Whitebeard.

Moreover, considering Magellan's diarrhea body, if a toilet gets set up there, it is estimated that before Kaido storms, Shiryu will first break out.

"By the way, is there any problem with the safety of Gion and the girls?" Sengoku asked again.

"You can rest assured." Longinus laughed, "This time in the Wano, I have recruited a rather powerful helper for the Headquarters, and with his presence, not many people in the New World can stop them."

"Oh?" Sengoku asked, quite surprised, "Even you say that, I'm suddenly a little curious about what kind of a character he was!"

"By the way!" Sengoku's face abruptly serious, "you come back this time just in time, I happen to have a rather difficult matter here need to trouble you to deal with them."

"Admiral Sengoku, please do tell." Longinus said with a proper expression.

"Barrels, do you remember?"

With Longinus' memory, it only took a few moments to recall, "The marine captain who was responsible for infiltrating the Donquixote family?"

In his other identity, he is Drake's father.

"That's him." Sengoku nodded rather emotionally, "He changed direction because he was never able to gain the trust of the Donquixote family, and hoped to blend into the North Blue's underworld as a collaborator."

"If you deal with jackals, you will even be swallowed if you are not careful!" Longinus said in a deep voice.

"Yes! But he seems to have gone a bit bewildered!" Sengoku sighed, "frantically chasing after treasures that might cause others to covet, and the most incredible thing is that it really made him find them, enough to attract the world's attention!"

Longinus was silent, waiting for the rest.

"It's Ope Ope no Mi, it's Ope Ope no Mi that any person who eats it can grow into a world class famous doctor, and it's also the ultimate devil fruit that can give humans eternal life!"

"I have also heard of the legend of the immortality surgery, but legends are only legends after all, is there really someone who can live forever in this world?" Longinus asked without lifting a finger.

"You are really calm as always, even in front of this kind of news is not the slightest bit moved." Sengoku shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I have no idea about this fruit, but the government side, is asking me to trade that fruit back with five billion berries."

With that, he added, "They didn't know that Barrels was actually one of us."

Longinus nodded slightly; he could understand why the government side would not think in this direction.

Even if the legend of Ope Ope no Mi has yet to be proven, in terms of its value is also extremely high, this exceptional devil fruit does not stay in the hands, but instead run to the North Blue's underground black market transactions, thinking he caught it in the door?

And this is precisely what Sengoku's helplessness is; should he say that Captain Barrels is out of his control?

In terms of value, using such fruit with great potential to uncover the dark side of the North Blue, which may not even be successful, is indeed a bit too costly.

"But if the government wants it, why don't they do it themselves, CP0 seems more appropriate than the Marine in dealing with this kind of thing, right?" Longinus asked, puzzled.

Spending on five billion berries and asking the Marine to make a deal with the pirates, such things are bizarre to think.

"I'm not sure, perhaps those Gorosei-sama have their own considerations." Sengoku said with a shake of his head.

Longinus held his chin in his right hand, deep in thought.

If Ope Ope no Mi is as crucial as Doflamingo says, then the World Government's attitude is worth pondering.

In the future path, the government should be completely inactive the idea of controlling Law; otherwise, with the World Government's power, trying to catch teenage years, it should not be so difficult to do so.

Even in the future, they also let him join Oka Shichibukai in a dignified manner.

"This five billion berries deal, is it really just the government's regard for this fruit's own value?" Longinus eyes changed slightly, secretly mused, "Then, the connection between Ope Ope no Mi and the national treasure of Celestial Dragons, is it a hoax by Doflamingo, or is it that he really knows certain, even Gorosei have not grasped the secret?"

"Things are starting to get interesting!"

"When do you plan to move?" Sengoku asked.

"I'll leave now, regardless of whether the legend of this fruit is true or false, the significance of its own existence, it is worthy of my participation once."

"There is one person, please make sure you bring it back for me!"

"Oh! Who is it?"

"The highest cadre of the Donquixote family, Corazon , and also a Commander in the Marine Headquarters, Marine Rosinante!"
