Late Night Confidential Discussion

Hearing the voice of Longinus, the pirates and marine who are still on the battlefield are limping.

Is the war really over?

Immediately, a variety of cries and shouts of laughter mixed broke through the sky.

"Great, we all survived!"

"Victory, we won the war!"

"The marine is undefeated, salute the heroes!"

Longinus exhaled a long breath while also shouted, "Everyone, do your best to save the wounded!"

Looking at the figure of Longinus, Akagami sighed, "Fortunately, he ended the war, otherwise, the sea will enter a most bad times!"

"There are also clear-headed people like Longinus in the Marine Corps!" Beckman also nodded, "Although the existence of the Goko is the influence of countless people racing to the sea, they are a constraint to maintain the order of the world. Destroying a Goko, is certainly a great victory for the marine, but the turmoil and chaos caused in the process is to be shouldered by those civilians."

"The victory of war does not bring peace, but also the possibility of more war!" Akagami, with a rare serious eye, put away the cynical do, "at least, whether it is the marine or pirates, in fact, are not ready for the final showdown!"

Sengoku looked at someone on the side of the execution platform, "You should be very nervous just now, right?"

"What am I nervous about?" Garp bristled.

"After Sakazuki eliminated the remnants of those Whitebeard, the next one to strike is definitely this kid." Sengoku looked at Ace, who was lost in thought and seemed to be a different person.

"He dares!" Garp's eyes widened.

"Heh! You think he'd dare?" Sengoku said with contempt.

Garp fell into silence; with Sakazuki's character, there is nothing to dare.

"Find a chance to thank Longinus, he will come out to argue with Sakazuski, I guess he does not want to see you old man all day with a bitter old face." Sengoku said, "to help you within the limits of the rules, this is the limit of what he can do!"

Garp nodded, somewhat depressed, said, "It seems that his disciple's ability to teach me is indeed a little worse than Zephyr himself."

Sengoku looked at Garp with disdain and disgust; how big is the gap you do not have points in your own heart?

A corner of the edge of the battlefield, Jimbei pulled Luffy, "while the marine has not reacted, you guys hurry to escape!"

"But Ace, he ..."

"You can rest assured, brother Ace he will be fine." Jimbei comforted, "Admiral Longinus has always been a man of honor, although he is unforgiving to pirates, but it is caring for the marine, just now you can see, for those marine he even clashed with Admiral Akainu outbreak."

Nami also nodded her head, "Aunt Bellemare is only an ensign of the Marine Branch, and it was still a long time ago, but Uncle Longinus know that Aunt Bellemare got wronged, and personally apologized, for Aunt Bellemare justice!

Jimbei is then said, "Admiral Longinus used to receive a lot of care from Vice Admiral Garp, which is on the face of Vice Admiral Garp, he will not do anything to brother Ace."

Luffy suddenly said, "so he is a good man ah! Jimbei, then let's escape together?"

"No, I'm going to apologize to Admiral Longinus!"

Hearing what Jimbei said, the crowd of Straw Hat Pirates are a little panicked; in the previous action, they all have a good feeling for this benevolent giant Fishman; they naturally do not want to see him go to throw himself into the net.

"Jimbei, you will be arrested if you go back!"

"You have not done anything wrong. All the way out, you did not even injure any of the guards or marine ah!"

Jimbei shook his head, "Letting down Admiral Longinus' trust in me, that was my biggest mistake!"

"You'll be killed! Jimbei!" Luffy yelled down.

"If Admiral Longinus wants to kill me, that's the punishment I deserve." Jimbei smiled, not caring about his own life and death.

When seeing this scene, Luffy and others are a little stunned.

That man's charisma, so great that Jimbei, such a strong man, are willing to die to the point?

They are not afraid of powerful enemies; all the way, they have met many powerful enemies, but never met, like Longinus, such as an "insurmountable" enemy.

The "no solution" in their hearts is to say that they can't bring up the battle's meaning.

Like Bellemare, Vivi, Kuina, Camie, Jimbei, these are their friends and even relatives, but they all aspire to that man with all their hearts and aspirations.

It makes them feel from the bottom of their hearts, standing opposite that man is a mistake in itself!

In the sound of awe and regret, this is enough to change the course of the world's great war that has finally come to an end.

...

That night, Longinus in his room applying potions to his upper body, Whitebeard's decisive blow, indeed, left him with a nasty wound.

At this time, a ghost maid flew in.

"Master, master, that ..." Perona shrieked and covered her eyes with the palm of her hand, but the finger slits were so big that flies could fly through.

"What's the matter?" Longinus asked without changing his face.

"The master's body is so perfect!" Perona muttered in a small voice, then began to tell, "That very, very mean Uncle Magma is going to break into ..."

"Are you talking about me?" With a stern voice, a cold-faced Akainu appeared in the room.

"Aaaah!" Perona exclaimed, quickly hiding behind Longinus, trembling, utterly unaware that she is now the soul's state, seeing that Akainu in her mind, is terrifying than the evil spirit existence.

And the following words of the Akainu made her soul almost faint with fear.

"This woman saw me come in, finish her off!"

"Don't worry, Perona won't say anything."

Perona repeatedly nodded; if not in her soul state, she would have been scared to snot, "I don't know anything, I didn't see anything."

"Well, you go out and watch out." Longinus smiled gently.

Seeing that Akainu did not object, Perona hurriedly flew out like a pardon.

"Humph! Like I said today during the day, you are too soft-hearted to your own people!" Akainu said with a cold snort.

"Admiral Akainu, times have changed, killing is no longer the most effective means of secrecy!" Longinus laughed calmly, "The Admiral's residents all suddenly disappeared, that's what's strange, right!"

The marine headquarters is one of the safest places in the world, and the Admiral's residence is impossible for anyone to dare to trespass; plus Perona's existence in the marine headquarters is not a secret, but suddenly "missing" will attract the attention of many people.

"Then you'd better let her learn to keep her mouth shut!"

"I will."

After a moment of silence, Akainu suddenly said in a mocking tone, "You really were right, six years ago, I was scolded by Gorosei who have been nothing good to me, but they actually threw me an olive branch, saying that they will support me to become the Fleet Admiral of the Marine! Before this, I remember that they are the most optimistic about you!"

"Once a tool that is used well, if there is a risk, is it not a normal thing to be abandoned?"
