The Kind Longinus

Doflamingo can awaken in a day mainly because he has already gone through 99% of the way before this.

All Apophis could do was to use sociopathic venom ... care to make him see that final step.

Although this last step to take a full day of beatings looks like a bit of a loss, the reality is that the vast majority of people are stuck in this last step can not be advanced.

So, Doflamingo earned it.

Ummm... should be it.

After leaving Plutos Island, Apophis changed his identity and returned to the Marine Headquarters.

After all, if he can still have the leisure to hang out after such a big accident, it would seem too inconsistent with his persona.

Outside the Marine Headquarters Central Hospital, Longinus very coincidentally ran into a particular monkey.

"Vice Admiral Borsalino, how rare is it that you have left the G2 branch as well?" Longinus laughed.

"That's very rude, Rear Admiral Longinus." Borsalino said with a bewildered expression, "You make it sound like I'm neglecting my duties?"

"This time, if the government did not rush you to guard the Sabaody for some time, I do not think you will appear in the headquarters before the end of the year." A calm and assertive voice came, and it was the leader of the Marine Headquarters Seniors' group, Sengoku, who was walking out of the hospital.

"Ohhhh! Admiral Sengoku." Borsalino groggily shouted, without any semblance of embarrassment, "At least give me some face in front of my men!"

On the other hand, Longinus secretly thinks that someone inseparable from the Admiral Sengoku has not appeared, is he still in the East Blue to see his grandchildren?

Sengoku ignored Borsalino's juggling and asked, "Are you two here to see Kuzan, too?"

Longinus nodded, "Is Vice Admiral Kuzan okay?"

"Nothing major, just ..." Sengoku shook his head and sighed, "He'll have to stay in bed for the next six months."

"Tsk, with the strength of that guy Kuzan was even beaten so badly, it seems that the group of masked people is really not a simple character!" Borsalino put himself in his place and thought, if it were him, it would not be this result.

Because he will make a strategic retreat!...

"Six months in bed?" Longinus said with an odd expression on his face, "Maybe, Vice Admiral Kuzan is actually quite happy with the result!"

Sengoku was stunned, thinking of Kuzan's divine skill of being able to fall asleep while standing, could not help but collapse his old face, "Forget it, he just fell asleep, you guys don't bother him either."

"However, I would like to ask your opinion about the Red Swordsman and the other masked man."

All three walked out together.

Bewildered, Borsalino said, "Opinions? Does the fact that they're good count as my opinion?"

"Do I need you to tell me this?" Sengoku's forehead rippled with veins, and he said.

"Weren't you the one who wanted to ask my opinion, Admiral Sengoku?" Borsalino barked.

Sengoku: "(｀ ⌒' メ)"

"Are you asking, Admiral Sengoku, about the possible relationship between the Red Swordsman and the Revolutionary Army?" Longinus asked.

"Not bad." Sengoku nodded with great relief, "You two are one of Dragon's fellow classmates and one of his students, you should both be considered to know more about him, I would like to hear your views."

"So, why didn't you ask that in the first place, Admiral Sengoku?" Borsalino first grumbled, then quickly said before Sengoku could speak, "That Dragon guy has a gloomy face all day, so how can I tell what he's thinking."

"However, it is not impossible to say that he has twisted in his mind to purposely let someone put a dead hand on Kuzan."

"After all, he was beaten ... ahem, trained by Vice Admiral Garp."

Sengoku nodded deeply; everything is the fault of the time... Garp.

Longinus is an odd face, remembering the other world's claims about Kizaru is a Revolutionary Army undercover.

Seeing Sengoku cast his gaze, Longinus quickly discarded those jumbled thoughts in his mind and said frankly, "The real battle of fame for the Red Swordsman goes back to the War of Zou four years ago, and that time, again, coincided with the defection of Dragon-senpai."

"In addition to the erratic whereabouts of the Red Swordsman, and Dragon-senpai defected after the infiltration experience is also extremely consistent, that there is some kind of connection between them is indeed not impossible."

Under the misleading coincidence carefully created by Longinus, Sengoku nodded soberly, "I had thought that he just did not want to be bound. But I did not expect that he had completely forgotten who he once was and did not remember his old feelings at all."

Longinus said warmly, "In fact, I do not think that Vice Admiral Kuzan was seriously injured at the behest of Dragon-senpai."

"You mean ...," Sengoku asked in a deep voice, "that Dragon doesn't actually have full control of the Revolutionary Army either?"

"No, the revolutionary army should be completely under his control. But ..." Longinus said in a stern tone, "it's hard to tell with that 'mask' that suddenly came out of nowhere!"

"Whether it is the Red Swordsman or the other masked man, they are all figures standing at the top of the sea, and it is unlikely that such a strong person would be willing to be driven by others."

"Rather than being their leader, Dragon-senpai is more of a spokesperson they push to the front of the stage to attract some firepower."

"Very interesting statement." Sengoku nodded.

Although he would not wholly listen to Longinus' conjecture, he found a new thought which was initially the purpose of his question today. He then also continued to ask, "And what exactly do you think their purpose is in doing this?"

"Purpose?" Longinus frowned in a pretentious manner, "Although the Red Swordsman is cruel and tyrannical, I instead think he is a very simple man, so simple that every time he appears, he is there to kill."

"Many people think that the Red Swordsman is the mastermind of this event, but in my opinion, the masked man who appeared at the same time as him is the one who is really behind this event."

"A person who had never appeared before steeply put on a mask and appeared next to the Red Swordsman."

"He trying to use the influence of the Red Swordsman to spread their philosophy to every corner of the world, that is, to unmask the world!"

"Indeed there is this possibility." Sengoku looks gloomy, "the actions of the Red Swordsman is still traceable, but that masked man is no sign of emerging, so much so that his existence is completely hidden by the death of the Celestial Dragon, leaving only the revolutionary manifesto that shook the world!"

"If it's really like you suspect, that masked man's mind is undoubtedly somewhat terrifyingly gloomy!"

"The more crucial point is that we have no way of knowing how much hidden power that 'mask' force actually has." Longinus said with a severe expression, "Therefore, I think that while hunting down the revolutionary army, we absolutely cannot relax the investigation of the 'mask' power!"

Longinus secretly lamented that he was still too kind to worry that Dragon couldn't take the bait and took the initiative to take over half of the trick.

After finding Monet, he originally intended to abandon that small figure for some time, but this did not prevent him from priding himself on his goodness.

As for Rayleigh, Longinus could only silently wish in his heart, "Come on, you can do it (☆ ^ ー ^ ☆)!"

"Ugh! If we could have a few more people like you in our headquarters who think about things, I wouldn't have to work myself to death every day." Sengoku let out a long sigh, "This blind spot you found is valuable, I'll go and sort it out before reporting back to Gorosei."

Borsalino, who has been in the background all along, has a gloomy face, "Is Admiral Sengoku talking about me? No, it should still be talking about Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Who asked you to be The Resourceful General of our headquarters?" Longinus, in turn, laughed.

The corners of Sengoku's mouth twitched slightly; in fact, he didn't like that title because some idiot always wanted to call him a retarded Sengoku.

After trying to discard the figure of a particular bastard from his mind, Sengoku smiled at Longinus and said, "Borsalino will be guarding the Sabaody for a while, so I'll be troubling you with the affairs of the G2 branch for the time being."
