Apophis' Hidden Base

The next day, Longinus went to Fishman Island with Tom, while Franky and Iceburg returned to Water 7 to gather the shipwright.

Since his promotion to the rank of Admiral, Longinus had resigned from his position as G2 base commander. Unfortunately, it could not separate the Fishman Island branch's matters from his high reputation, and he could only continue to serve as the base commander.

Therefore, the coated warship that the two of them took easily entered the range of Fishman Island.

After disembarking and looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around, Tom let out a deep sigh, "It's been a long time since I've been back to Fishman Island!"

The Fishman on guard asked curiously, "Longinus-sama, is he your latest rescued slave?"

"Uh, I'm no slave." Tom choked for a moment, then shook his head in self-deprecation, "But it's no better, right? It was Longinus-sama who fished me out of the Impel Down."

"Fished out of Impel Down!" The surrounding Fishman widened their fish eyes; they are now beyond the stage of not knowing anything; they naturally understand how much force and difficulty are contained in these short words.

Thinking of this, these Fishman couldn't help but be moved to say, "Longinus-sama is really worthy of being the patron saint of our Fishman!"

Just then, a tall, fat blue man came from afar, "Longinus-sama, please follow me, His Majesty Neptune has prepared a feast for you."

From the beginning of the hatred to alienation, to recognition, and then finally respect, these transformations are the process of the heart that Jimbei and most Fishman have gone through.

All that Longinus has done, they have seen in the eyes.

If the highest reputation of Fishman Island is Queen Otohime, then the second in line is Longinus and Whitebeard, the non-existent king Neptune has to stand aside.

"To let you the Oka Shichibukai to me to lead the way, it is really aggravating to you."

"Here, I am not some Oka Shichibukai." Jimbei said righteously, "I'm just a grateful Fishman."

Tom also staggered at the side; he has not returned to Fishman Island for a long time; Fishman Island's change is only from his brother "Dan" letter to understand some of them.

It is only today that he realized that the status of Longinus in Fishman Island seems to be higher than he imagined.

And even Jimbei, the spiritual leader of Fishman Island, have respect for Longinus, not to mention the others, all the way, everywhere he could hear their sincere and respectful greetings.

Ryugu Palace, the banquet hall;

The shell-shaped stage, rainbow-like lights, the location is full of moving dance and beautiful singing; the scene is the Neptune family and the top officials of the Ryugu Kingdom.

It filled the table with sweet and tasty, exquisite, and delicious Fishman Island specialties.

"Let us join together in a toast to Admiral Longinus." Neptune raised his crystal cup where red liquor clashed in it.

"Your Majesty Neptune is too kind." Longinus raised his glass in response.

After some pushing of glasses, Neptune only asked, "Admiral Longinus, could you elaborate more on the fishman partisans you mentioned before?"

"Of course, that's what I should do." Longinus nodded slightly, looked around the table, and said, "In addition to the necessary precautions, the fishman partisans can have absolute autonomous power, and the rank status can also be equal to the standard of the headquarters. So to speak, this will be the best opportunity for the fishman to integrate into the human world."

The crowd in the hall is a little cheerful. Suppose they can have a certain status in human society. In that case, human discrimination against Fishman may also eliminate a lot and gradually enter the ground world after the Fishman can also have a few more security.

"And the chief engineer of this train network plan will also be Tom-san."

Hearing this, many fishman are so excited that they shed tears of emotion; Admiral Longinus is too good to them to deliver such an important project entirely into their hands.

Even Jimbei is also touched with a shrug; he was worried about the partisans in guarding the track may cause casualties, but now it seems that the risk is entirely worth it.

Once the vast project is marked with the Fishman's logo, humans may feel the Fishman's sincerity and goodwill under the subtle influence.

"If you can, please allow me to serve as the leader of this fishman partisans." Jimbei said seriously.

He did so, or want to minimize casualties, the ferocious reputation of Oka Shichibukai may discourage some pirates.

"Of course, with the addition of you, Jimbei, I believe that the partisans will be able to play the maximum role." Longinus smiled.

"Even Jimbei for you to work hard!" Neptune also breathed a sigh of relief, all at once to send so many Fishman on the sea is always a little uneasy, now well, with Jimbei seated finally can be at ease.

"Your Majesty Neptune, this is what I should do as a fishman." Jimbei did not take credit for it at all, said.

The surrounding ministers of the kingdom are also flushed, as if to see the one day the Fishman out of the deep sea, "Let's drink to the boss Jimbei??!"

Just then, there was a sound of intermittent Den Den Mushi.

Longinus was slightly surprised to open his wristwatch, which contained the admiral's exclusive Den Den Mushi, which could barely receive a signal even in the deep sea 10,000 meters below.

"Moshi moshi, this is Longinus."

"Admiral Longinus ..., can you pass the phone ... to ... Tom-san ...," came the intermittent voice of Iceburg from Den Den Mushi.

"Of course."

After a slight hesitation, Longinus took off his wristwatch and handed it over.

"Iceburg, is it the people of the World Government who have come to trouble you again?"

"No, it's Franky, he ... ran away, and also disappearing ... and the things you ... gave me last time. "

"What?"

...

Meanwhile, on the island in the New World known to the outside world as Devil Island;

Apophis was holding the drawing and pretending to admire it; yes, he couldn't read it at all.

"Original Sin-sama, this is the legendary ancient weapon Pluto drawings?" Eneru asked with a fiery gaze from the side.

"Yes, it's just a pity that there are too many constraints!" Apophis smoothly handed over the drawings.

Eneru took it, and his eyes quickly completed the transformation from fiery to solemn to confused.

What kind of bullshit drawing is this?

"Original Sin-sama, what exactly are the constraints you are talking about?"

"Technology, funds, materials, these are all constraints." Apophis was sitting on the throne, fingers gently tapping the armrest, "However, to say that the biggest constraint is the location!"

Without waiting for Eneru to ask, Apophis again said, "The scale of this project is huge, the movement caused will not be too small, the time required must also be very long, if you can not find enough hidden site, to build the Pluto is a matter of time will be discovered."

"Hidden enough ..." Eneru suddenly said, "is to carry out this project on the secret base?"

"Yes, what place is more hidden than ..." Apophis out of the palace, looking up into the bright night sky, a bright moon is hanging high, "the place where everyone can look up and see it? "
