13 Powerful Marine

The big ugly man nodded in confusion, thinking that Longinus had a point and, at the same time, an odd way of saying otherwise.

And the surrounding crowd is also slightly worried. However, looking at the young nobleman rolling all over the ground is very enjoyable. The idiot, since he dared to be so arrogant, should also have his backing. Can this little boy stand up to the next retaliation?

And although it was that idiot nobleman who started the provocation, he was the one who suffered in the end. In case the Marine decided that it was Longinus who was causing trouble, it certainly wasn't out of the question.

"Ahhhh! You bastard, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" Rex screamed mucusily, his eyes filled with hatred engraved in his bones.

Longinus' eyes narrowed, he hated trouble, and since this guy still wanted to pester him, he'd find a chance to do it before the idiot left.

Of course, given the need to maintain his bright image, this is still something that can only be done discreetly with a different identity.

"Who are you going to kill?" An indifferent voice emerged, instantly suppressing the rioting crowd.

A group of people appeared, and at the front of the group standing in front of it were the marine officer dressed in justice coats.

"Marine, you're just in time, execute these lowlifes for assaulting a nobleman, hang or shoot or whatever!"

Rex's face gradually becomes slightly more perverted, showing sickening smiles, even as he forgets his broken arm's pain.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The atmosphere turned from tense to awkward...

Seeing that all the marines were indifferent, Lass roared in annoyance, "Are you all idiots? Please do it now! My cousin is a Lieutenant Commander in your base, so I'll have my cousin take care of you if you don't listen!"

"My name is Nathan Johnson. Rank Rear Admiral get it?" The head of the Marine said.

Rex stunned. He could easily distinguish the difference between a Lieutenant Commander and a Rear Admiral even if he were foolish enough.

The Rear Admiral was one of the five men who were second only to the base commander and among the top five in this vast sea.

Although the G2 branch has a Vice Admiral and five Rear Admirals, most of these prominent officials are busy and will not be stationed in the base, this time to meet someone can be considered a jackpot.

"You.. you.. you.. you..." threatened Lass in a stern tone, "So what if you're a Rear Admiral, I'm the heir to the Earl of the Kingdom of Connor, and the Marine is no place over the King's power!"

"The Kingdom of Connor?" Johnson's face was numb as he drew his pistol, the dark muzzle pointed at Rex, "An outlaw state that is not part of the World Government affiliates, even if the King stood before me, I have the right to shoot him if he violates justice."

Longinus was silent, this guy acted like he was a Celestial Dragon, but as a result, he wasn't even a noble of the World Government affiliate. Where the hell did he get that kind of confidence?

Hearing this, Lass was finally terrified, and his paralyzed body couldn't stop moving backward on the ground, leaving a trail of yellowish fluids, his lips closed as if ready to beg for mercy.

However...

Bang!

The silver bullet instantly penetrated the skull, blood spreading on the ground, and Lass opened his eyes wide as if he couldn't believe he was going to die here.

Those pawns of Lass woke up from their daze and hadn't run more than a few feet before they were seized and arrested by a marines team and taken to jail.

Finally, Johnson turned his attention to Longinus, the ugly and strong man, and the little girl cuddled up to his side and smiled as the crowd waited nervously.

"What are the names of you two?" Rear Admiral Johnson smiled gently.

"Longinus."

"T. Bone."

"You two...did a great job! To be in the Marine is to have the courage of your mind to defend justice and determination to do something about it!"

"Except that one thing Longinus is right about is that the justice that the Marines protect has never been earned by softness and compromise, only by purging evil with great power can justice and peace truly come to this world!" Johnson said to Bone with much attention.

"Mmm! Thank you for your teaching!" T. Bone nodded heavily, with zero jealousy in his heart for Longinus, but somewhat hidden happiness for him, simply because Longinus did not ostracize him because of his looks.

Then, Johnson used his measuring gaze to check on Longinus, while Longinus was honestly facing it without any difficulty, this kind of heart made T. Bone even more ashamed. Still, he didn't dare to look at Rear-Admiral Johnson for too long just now.

"I hadn't expected to meet the young hero that Adkin and I talked about so soon!" As soon as Johnson opened his mouth, the crowd was shocked, and the Marine behind Johnson was even more appalled that the stern and steady Rear Admiral himself in the past would have such a high opinion of a teenager!

"Adkin...the young hero..." the brow of Longinus knitted, he didn't seem to have any memories of interacting with this person.

"Don't be surprised. Captain Adkin arrived after you left Falling Leaf Town. It's a shame that a cunning and brutal group of Giant Rhino Pirates have escaped the Marine's pursuit many times, and in the end, had to be killed by you. It's a good thing that you eventually chose to join the Marine as well. It's not like we've lost face."

The admiration in Johnson's eyes grew more assertive, "But thanks to the Giant Rhino Pirates escaping to your island. It's only thanks to the fact that we know that such a young hero has even helped us destroy dozens of pirate groups, large and small, in three years, relieving the heavy pressure we were carrying."

"I was merely doing what I had to do," Longinus' kind personality said again in his image.

The crowd around him only dramatically erupted when they heard Longinus acknowledge it.

"Did I hear you, right? This young man who looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old destroyed the ferocious Giant Rhino Pirates!"

"This is something that Rear Admiral-sama himself mentioned, how can it be false!"

"That's a bounty of 37 million berries for a great pirate! In my hometown, the West Blue, even if I searched the entire sea, I couldn't find a pirate group that powerful!"

"It's rare to make it this far at such a young age, and maybe we're witnessing the rise of an Admiral today!"

T. Bone also admired in his eyes, although he had killed many pirates, the highest bounty those pirates had offered was just 10 million berries out, which was too different from Longinus' record.

"No wonder he had that kind of philosophy and understanding, did he realize the nature of justice in his constant struggle with the pirates?" T. Bone's eyes grew more bright as if he had found a beacon of light on life's path.

"If I can become a hero like Longinus, maybe... people won't hate me anymore!"
