The People Who Know the "Truth"

In the streets of a certain kingdom, countless newspapers fell from the sky like snowflakes.

Passers-by picked up the newspapers in confusion, and then, shrieks of horror broke out one after another.

"What? The other identity of Fleet Admiral Longinus is actually the Yonko Apophis!"

"No, I should say it was once the identity!"

"This is so shocking! I never thought that Fleet Admiral Longinus would have this kind of experience!"

"No wonder Apophis had the title of Dark Knight back then!"

"Wait, shouldn't your surprise be the resurrection of Fleet Admiral Hitsujiza?"

"Fleet Admiral Longinus is really great! For the sake of justice, he went so far as to throw himself into the darkness!"

"That little girl named Kuina is so pitiful! Even a fierce man like me can't help but cry! Oink oink ..."

"A new world government? Great, with a great leader like Fleet Admiral Longinus, true peace is coming!"

"Mmmmmmm! Even without the threat of those cosmic pirates, I still support Fleet Admiral Longinus a hundred times to become our leader!"

Although there were discordant voices in the process, the unified and consistent argument soon drowned them out!

No one doubted Longinus' motives, but on the contrary, each one was shocked by Longinus' great ambition!

In their opinion, Longinus could have kept the secret forever, but not only did he not hide it, but he took the initiative to reveal his past "stain" at the peak of his life!

This kind of boldness and ambition making everyone is shocked!

And Longinus said that "all people have the right to know the truth" and let them feel respected!

It alone convinced them that the new world government would be countless times better than the previous regime!

Sandy Island, Alabasta.

"Fleet Admiral Longinus has really resurrected!" Cobra laughed openly, "Hahahahaha! This is the luck of the world!"

Vivi on the side was also crying with joy, "I knew it, Godfather wouldn't just put us down like this!"

Igaram, on the other hand, asked, "Your Majesty, then the new world government ... should we join?"

"Of course we should join!" Cobra said with a deep breath, "Such a world, I have been looking forward to it for much, much too long!"

On an island inhabited by the minks;

"Hahahaha woof!" Inuarashi laughed loudly, "So Apophis, who killed Momonosuke-sama back then, has long since received the judgment he deserves. Kin'emon and Raizo, your spirits can be comforted as well, right?"

"Hahahaha meow!" Nekomamaushi also laughed brightly, "I knew that Longinus-sama would never let us down!"

"About the new world government, do you have any ideas, old demon cat?" Inuarashi asked.

"Of course I'm joining in." Nekomamushi said rightfully, "With Longinus-sama as the leader, we no longer have to worry that the minks will be discriminated against and rejected!"

The Island of Ice, Cyprus.

Several people who were still immersed in the great grief of the young master's sacrifice all turned their shocked eyes toward Monet.

They had thought that Monet's backyard was already terrifying enough, but to their surprise, they still underestimated the power standing behind Monet.

Compared to that man, what is the Yonko? Even the Yonko are just an identity for him!

Monet was also shocked; she finally understood why her brother had been unable to remove that mask!

"Great!" Sugar cheered and said, "Since Monet-nee's brother is the Fleet Admiral, is it possible that we can not be arrested ah!"

After the marines issued the order to suppress the pirates, almost all the pirates were apprehensive, so it was after Sugar learned the news, she was so happy that she got carried away.

However, Diamante was gloomy, "On the contrary, with Longinus' great prestige among the marines, a stain like us will probably be killed outright by his fanatical followers!"

"Sh, what? Then what are we going to do?" Sugar, with a stupid face waving her hands, "I have contributed to the marine, I have spilled ... forehead and spit white foam for the marine, they can not kill me ah!"

"Only Doffy can help us one last time!" Trebol pressed the Sugar's head to suppress it, "Let's say that Monet is a slave captured by Doffy, so that Monet has nothing to do with us! Those marines, too, will not be able to kill us in order to hide the truth!"

Diamante said speechlessly, "You would give slaves to eat the Mythical Zoan fruit?"

Trebol said rightfully, "Doffy is a Celestial Dragon! What's so strange about that?"

Diamante suddenly said, "Right oh, it's not strange if you bring out the Celestial Dragons!"

"With the restraint of Apo ... cough Longinus-sama, we have not done too many bad things, if we count Doffy's contribution in the battle, the odds are that we will be imprisoned in the Impel Down, right?" With that, Trebol looked at Monet with a look of help, "Monet, our future depends on you!"

Seeing that Sugar also looked teary-eyed, Monet had to stiffen her head and agreed, "Okay then, I'll try."

"Wait, if Longinus is Apophis-sama's case ..." Pica suddenly shouted, "then Vergo, wouldn't he have been exposed long ago?"

The crowd was stunned, as if oh! They had almost forgotten that there was a man like Vergo!

Thinking of Vergo, who is still working hard in the Marine Corps, the crowd suddenly felt that they did not seem too bad?

On a certain island, Akagami took the newspaper and slapped his head furiously.

"If you keep on slapping, you will be disabled in one more place!" Beckman said coldly.

He stopped slapping, and Akagami asked incredulously, "Is he Apophis? No, there are three Apophis?"

"Surely you've been beaten silly?" Beckman sighed, "It's four, the first Apophis was killed by Longinus!"

"This guy really know how to play, in the marine as a fleet admiral, and become a Yonko when doing pirates! Wait ..." Akagami is suddenly looking grave, "this does not mean that his swordsmanship is also the strongest in the world!"

"A person's energy is limited, but this saying doesn't seem to apply to him!" Beckman nodded heavily, "Haki, physical skills, swordsmanship, each aspect is the strongest in the world, it is hard to imagine, what kind of faith and persistence it takes to reach this achievement!"

At this stage of their lives, it's hard to tell what's wrong with mere talent; after all, those who have made it this far can be said to be one in a million geniuses!

What determines a person's ceiling is the courage and belief of a strong person!

In Beckman's opinion, Longinus has the ambition to surpass all those who have gone before him and has the vision to transcend the world to do such things that even he finds incredible!

"He is indeed too powerful to be believed!" Akagami said and smiled again, "But fortunately, he can't beat you in sniping, right, Yas..."

Akagami turned his head to look and did not find the familiar figure beside him, not only Yasopp; many familiar faces disappeared from his sight.

Even the banquet, which was normally cheerful, had become much colder.

"Alas! After all, we can not go together to the end ..."
