Conflicts Intensify

"Fleet Admiral Longinus is worthy of being a pillar of our government!"

"Haha! If this bunch of losers could learn one hundred percent of your merits, Longinus, we wouldn't even be so passive!"

"CP0 will leave it to you, Fleet Admiral, to lead this time!"

"I'll trouble you, Fleet Admiral Longinus, to show these fools how you and the Marine Corps are doing!"

The Gorosei kept praising, and with each praise, the mood of those CP0s became gloomy.

"Let me take command of CP0?" Longinus raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this a deliberate attempt to provoke those CP0s?

Longinus reckoned that there was probably a reason to divert the public's attention to ignore the government's failure in this, but he didn't care about it.

The opportunity to control most of the world government's power is his primary purpose; as for this power's shelf life, it is not in his consideration!

All of those CP0s wanted to say something, but when they saw that their bosses were keeping silent, they had to force themselves to hold it down.

"Haha! This shows that we fully trust your ability and loyalty, Fleet Admiral Longinus!" The bearded Gorosei laughed.

"Since it is the trust of the government, I will take it!" Longinus' face was calm as if the power was just an insignificant part for him.

"Then we will wait for your good news, Fleet Admiral!" The bearded Gorosei laughed for a while, then looked at the group of CP0 with a grim face, "You wastes can also get lost!"

Longinus nodded slightly, bent down, and saluted before turning around to leave, and then, a group of CP0 also followed.

Only after everyone left, the bearded Gorosei said with a slightly cold face, "Putting all the power into his hands, nothing will go wrong, right?"

The blond Gorosei also curbed his smile, "It can't be helped, incompetence is not bad, but if incompetence and stupidity can't even guarantee loyalty, then CP0 really has no meaning to exist!"

The long-haired Gorosei said blandly, "Don't worry, he won't be in power for too long, and with Sebastian around, the balance we maintain won't be broken!"

The Gorosei with swords flashed a cold light under the lenses, "In fact, this is also a good opportunity to observe the loyalty of that Fleet Admiral Longinus, if he is blinded by power and breeds any ideas that he should not have, then the final result will definitely let him down!"

"At least so far, the ability and loyalty he has shown can still reassure us." Curly-haired Gorosei said, "Now, let's put our attention back on that Admiral Fujitora! I heard that he has been reprimanded by Longinus several times for his heavy gambling, in which we might consider supporting a new faction from the Marine..."

Outside, walking on the crumbling ruins.

"Fleet Admiral Longinus, please take care of us in the future!" Sebastian said blandly, in a tone that he could not hear as happy or angry.

"Well, your cooperation is still needed in this regard, Sebastian-san." Longinus indicated with a slight nod of his head.

Sebastian paused in his steps and looked at Longinus with stern eyes, "I wonder how do you intend to arrange us, Fleet Admiral-dono?"

Longinus pondered for a moment and then said, "My idea is to break up your teams and reorganize them into major marine branches, and cooperate with the major marine bases to participate in the battle against the revolutionary army, so that you also see how the marine is doing!"

These words are a bit harsh, but the attention of a group of CP0 fell more on other aspects.

"Isn't this a bit not good? We CP0 used to carry out missions as a small team working together, so if we rashly separate, it will have some impact, right?" It was something that did not dare to contradict directly.

"Disrupting the reorganization? Fleet Admiral Longinus, you're trying to weaken our power, right? Split up the CP0 and then absorb it all into your Marine!" It is to tear up the face.

Longinus gaze sweep, not angry, "First, the marine does not have the habit of absorbing trash, second, disruption reorganization is to allow you to adapt faster, third, once you get to the marine, you will follow the rules of the marine!"

"I don't care how scattered you were before, but from today on, I want to understand the two most important words in the Marine - military discipline! If I ever see you disobeying the deployment again, and presumptuously contradict the behavior, all of you will be referred to the military tribunals to deal with it!"

Although these CP0s were not weak, they were too far behind Longinus, and when they saw Longinus' cold eyes, their hearts began to beat violently and uncontrollably. Their backs already soak with cold sweat without realizing it.

In this situation, Sebastian no longer stands out to speak; no one will listen to him in the future, so he stepped forward half a step and said:

"Marshal Longinus are you talking too seriously, CP0 and the Navy are not the same, and the so-called rules certainly cannot be generalized!"

Longinus did not back down but instead said with a serious face, "It is because of the dissimilarity that CP0 needs to change!"

Seeing Longinus so ignorant, being scolded for half a day, Sebastian also had anger in his heart. The voice coming out from under his mask began to fill with the taste of fire, "Our CP0 pursues an elite model and management. Each person is selected from tens of thousands of personnel, for the elite, Fleet Admiral Longinus' set may not be very applicable, right? After all, there never seems to be much of a threshold for marine recruitment!"

"Hmm? Do you mean, Sebastian-san, that marine training is only suitable for people with mediocre talent?"

"Huh, it doesn't seem impossible to understand it that way!"

Seeing this scene of tense words, the surrounding CP0 swallowed hard.

"Well, I understand!" Longinus nodded expressionlessly, and an invisible pressure began to diffuse, "In that case, then could you, Sebastian-san, let the mediocre me meet the power of CP0?"

"Wait! That's not what I meant!" Seeing that Longinus tended to fight without a word, Sebastian hurriedly stopped it.

Although he had some dissatisfaction with Longinus in his heart, he did not doubt Longinus' strength, and his title of the strongest in the world forged with countless victories!

Even if he was confident in himself, Sebastian did not think he could beat the other side. And he was not an idiot. Naturally, he would not do the foolish thing of looking for a fight and losing his reputation.

"Then, Sebastian-san is making fun of the Marine?"

Seeing Longinus' intention to fight reignited, Sebastian was also depressed. Was this bastard deliberately bullying him because of his strength?

I, Sebastian, CP0 chief, can not stand this anger!

"Ahem, in fact, it was me who suffered a considerable injury in that big explosion just now, so even if you, Fleet Admiral-dono, wanted to verify the answer, this battle could not be carried out!"

"So that's it?" Longinus' face eased slightly, "Don't worry; I can wait."

Sebastian righteously refused, "Or not, I can't delay everyone's action because of my matter!"

Seeing this, even those CP0s who followed Sebastian felt a bit ashamed, but they could understand that man was indeed too scary!

Longinus continued to press on, "Then, is Sebastian-san agreeing to my plan from the beginning?"

"No, of course not." Sebastian's confidence was slightly restored, "What I mean is that it would be better for the Marine and CP0 to carry out a confrontation battle. If we win, we would also ask Fleet Admiral Longinus to give us more freedom in the matter of CP0, and if we lose, then everything will be done according to the Marine's rules."
