Enlisting the Empress

The seemingly unusually formal high-level meeting did not last long before it ended, which was only an interim meeting to determine the general direction of action to follow.

Moreover, there are many similar meetings; there is no need to rush to explain all the things at once.

After the meeting, Aokiji was quite surprised to ask, "You actually intend to personally go to the Amazon Lily to recruit the pirate empress?"

Although the Oka Shichibukai is formally equivalent to the Marine Headquarters, the discerning people know how they are. To put it nicely is the government's cooperation, to put it bluntly, is Marine's high-level fighters.

Even if it is mandatory to convene, dispatch Vice-Admiral of the Headquarters has been enough.

Longinus did not directly answer but said in a deep voice, "You should also know it, the Oka Shichibukai, although it is said to balance the forces of the Marine and the Goko, but they also have their own tendencies."

"These people inside, Hawkeye and Akagami have a close relationship, Jimbei often in and out of the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Empress and Apophis have vaguely associated, Doflamingo is got some deal with Kaido, the only one inclined to the government is only Bartholomew Kuma!

Aokiji nodded and said, "The government is actually worried that they will be completely pushed to the side of the Goko therefore did not react, but it is also their attitude of inaction that fueled the arrogance of those pirates."

Longinus took over and said, "In peacetime, I will selectively ignore their small movements, but in the war phase, they must make a choice about their position!"

Aokiji said thoughtfully, "You are worried that the empress of the pirates will turn against you at a critical moment?"

Longinus nodded, "After all, I was the one who seriously injured Apophis, and if she is really as close to Apophis as rumors say, then her attitude, she must be treated with extra caution!"

"Let's hope she can see the situation clearly." Aokiji sighed, "It's too bad if a beautiful lady like that dies!"

"Don't say it as if I enjoy killing people!" Longinus shook his head bitterly, "the other party is after all the Oka Shichibukai recognized by the government, even if there are deviations in the position, I will at most temporarily imprison her."

...

On the warship going to Amazon Lily, Longinus stood at the ship's bow, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

He naturally came over this time to eliminate hidden problems in advance.

He knew too well the character of that woman Hancock, probably from the news that he had seriously injured Apophis had been clamoring to kill.

This time, the mandatory draft, if they do not take precautions in advance, it is possible that the first thing Hancock will do when she arrives at the Marine headquarters is to come and fight for him!

You know, Hancock's talent is powerful.

Even in the original path of history, she was in 18 years old then through an expedition to gain the invitation of the Oka Shichibukai.

And this moment in time, under his training, Hancock's strength is far beyond the other people in the Shichibukai, except for Hawkeye, almost all already have the Admiral level's strength.

In this case, even he is not able to defeat Hancock without touching the body.

And the woman's sensitivity, if there is physical contact, is likely to recognize his identity.

To avoid this worst possible, he also had to come early to test it out.

When thinking this way, a marine soon reported, "Admiral Hitsujiza, the Amazon Lily is ahead!"

Longinus came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said, "Inform the other side and open the city gates."

High on the towering city walls, a group of Kuja warriors was discussing in a six-headed manner.

"Should we let them in? I heard that Hebihime hates the marine forces very much!"

"It's better to open the door, this warship has an admiral on board!"

"Admiral, what is that?"

"I don't know, but I heard people outside say that the Admiral is even more powerful than Hebihime!"

"Impossible, Hebihime is number one in the world!"

"But when I used to go on expeditions with Hebihime, the pirates I met said that the Admiral was the most fearsome person in the world!"

"That's because they didn't realize how terrifying Hebihime is!"

Just as the crowd's discussion was gradually straying from the topic, a somewhat old voice suddenly inserted itself.

"Open the city gates and let them in!"

The crowd turned their heads to look and found that behind them was a short older woman clutching a snake staff and a green-haired python man.

"It's Elder Nyon and Sandersonia-sama!"

After recognizing the two, a group of warriors still had some hesitation, "But don't we have a ban on men on the island?"

Elder Nyon shook her head, "For a man who has the power to easily destroy the Amazon Lily, such a ban would have no meaning."

The crowd of Kuja warriors' breath caught, "Destroying the Amazon Lily? Are all men such powerful creatures?"

"Don't ask, just open the gates quickly."

"Oh oh, okay."

A group of Kuja warriors quickly went to open the city gates, while Sandersonia, one of the three Boa sisters, asked worriedly, "What grandma, is this really possible?"

"This is the only way, we must quickly talk about everything while Marigold is distracting Hebihime, and then, seize the time to send Admiral Hitsujiza out of the Amazon Lily."

Elder Nyon's tone is firm, "Only in this way can we truly avoid the crisis of the destruction of the Amazon Lily!"

They know that Hancock's strength is powerful, even in the New World, where there are many pirates like stars, there are not many pirates will be more powerful than her, but the other side is, after all, the admiral of the marine, the big man who stands at the top of the whole world.

If they anger each other, the whole Amazon Lily will have a crisis of destruction!

"But what to do after this?" Sandersonia asked worriedly, "Even if we agree to do it for my onee-sama now, when it really comes time to convene, the Marine Headquarters will be even more angry if they find that people are not present, right?"

Elder Nyon had a calm face, "When the time comes, say that the snake lady is seriously ill, and to show our sincerity, we can send a thousand elite warriors to the battle."

Sandersonia nodded helplessly, "It seems that this is the only way to go."

Creak!

The gate was slowly pulled open, and the warship that had long been impatiently waiting sailed in from the port.

"It doesn't look any different from us! It's just that the breasts are smaller." A soldier puzzled to compare themselves and the marine on the warship.

"That man looks so, so ... pretty!" There are also warriors looking at Longinus, untutored into a state of nymphomania.

Elder Nyon and Sandersonia, on the other hand, quickly greeted, "Longinus-sama, welcome to the Amazon Lily."

Longinus nodded slightly to indicate, "I am sorry to disturb you, I also know the ban of Amazon Lily, after meeting the sea pirate empress, I will leave as soon as possible."

Compared with Hancock's lousy attitude, Longinus's strength and identity can be so gentle to them that even if it is the first time to meet, they also feel multiplied.

Of course, the truth still can not be said.
