Lure the Loli

Onboard, the ship was lit up with lights and drinks.

"Everyone, let's hiccup... together for Longinus-chan hiccup... toast!" The drunken Louis hugged Longinus' shoulders and yelled loudly. He was showing an extremely different side from the usual steady majesty. Hina, who was standing on the side, covered her face in shame. It looked like she didn't know her own father.

"Hahahaha! Drink... for Longinus-chan... for General Louis... for Captain Jackass... "

"Today... really happy..., crushed the enemy's plot is not to tell. But also... also met the future of the Marine like Longinus-chan!"

The people around are also in a messy uproar. They fall to the ground drunk. It was also as if a corpse steeply raised the cup's right hand. They foolishly laughed and drenched the drink on their faces.

Longinus twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly. He had always been reserved for such things as wine. He did not like the feeling of losing control, which would put him and those around him in danger.

The good thing is that his 'innocent' face gives him an excellent disguise so that these drunkards do not push too far. Moreover, Longinus also knows that these drunkards are just looking for an excuse to be able to let go of the wine. It is not really obliged to him.

...

"I... I'm not drunk, give me another bottle...," a zombie-like Louis was thrown onto the bed by Longinus. He was still trying hard to break free from the seal of the comforter. Like a magic weapon with powerful sealing attributes, the comforter was not so easy to break free. Louis' voice soon became inaudible and fell into a deep sleep.

"Hina is so ashamed to make you so much trouble, Longinus-nii!" Hina stood playfully to the side with her small face flushed and her fingers strangled her coat subconsciously.

Hearing this familiar phrase of speech let Longinus notice her. The little loli in front of him, about ten years old, is the beautiful Marine who is so proud of her bold style after twenty years.

"That's nothing." Longinus smiled and shook his head as he headed outside.

Hina followed in small steps and asked curiously: "Longinus-nii, Hina would like to know. How did you manage to tame the sea king?"

"It is the instinct of all creatures to submit to the strong. The sea king is naturally the same." Longinus said with serious nonsense.

"Oh! Hina understands. It's a great power that makes them not dare to resist." Hina's eyes shone with admiration, "But Longinus-nii is really strong. My father said that the sea king is an extremely ferocious creature. That merfolk inside the sea also dare not easily mess with them."

"Of course, only strong power can guard the peace. For this reason, I intend to become a marine who carries out the idea of justice!" Longinus' kind personality acted in his true colors. He warmly patted Hina's head, "Has Hina thought about her plans for the future?"

The little loli, which is only ten years old, naturally has no other idea. Hina just feels the warmth of her big brother's warm hand and replies in a clear, sweet voice: "Hina also wants to become a Marine like Longinus-nii. If... Hina could become a marine. Hina wouldn't have to be limited to one country and one island. Hina could enjoy sailing this beautiful sea."

"The Marine is not always as good as you think. It is both a shackle and a duty. Once you carry those two norms, you can't help yourself many times."

"Then why would Longinus-nii still want to become a marine?" Hina tilted her head. Although she didn't really understand Longinus' words, she felt like it made sense.

"You may need a reason to kill a person. However, where do you need any reason to help a person?" Longinus said with a smile. In this state of personality, his every word contained pure goodwill.

...

The following day, Louis, who was acting like nothing was wrong, laughed as soon as he saw Longinus and said, "Longinus-chan, I heard Hina mention that you are planning to join the Marine G2 branch?"

Longinus smiled kindly: "Well, let's hope for success!"

"Longinus-chan, too much modesty can be pride. In my opinion, it is not difficult for you to become a captain directly with your strength." Louis said sincerely.

Longinus shook his head. He knows very well. The Marine is also a place that relies on strength from the start. Fujitora and Ryukogyu after twenty years is the example. Without any meritorious military service, the Marine raised them to the rank of admiral. It was built on their monster strength and the situation of a weakened Marine before.

The strength of Longinus is far from allowing the Marine to break the rules for him. What's more, three monsters are rising in the Marine. This situation is a good reason why he can only start from the grassroots.

Of course, the high-level members of the Marine are not idiots. They know the negative impact of the next era because of Roger's words before his execution. That's why they will start a new round of world military draft. They urgently need more middle and upper strength to fill the gaps.

As long as there is strength and talent, they can promote because this situation is faster than before. Longinus chose to join the Marine during this time because it could also access more promotion paths.

He wants to use Marine's resources to find Demi as soon as possible. He must do a better job of showing his value. He can make himself a model type of Marine.

Longinus is very well aware that the gales will destroy the wood. There is nothing wrong with this. If there is not even the courage to face the gale alone, it is never possible for wood to become a forest.

"Another joke for you. If Longinus-chan is not satisfied with the Marine, the door of our Hiscar Kingdom is always open for you. The power of our Hiscar Kingdom on Sandy Island is not as powerful as the superpower of Alabasta. If you look at the entire first half of the Grand Line, it is quite a prestigious world government affiliate."

Longinus just to hear this kind of talk. It's good unless it is Elbaf or the top-ranking power country. Otherwise, the national power in front of the Marine and the world government is simply vulnerable.

It is just a mighty pirate who can subvert the royal family. At best, even Alabasta, the great superpower's guardian, a pirate level of 20 to 30 million bounties can do that. In this case, Longinus' brain was kicked by a donkey to join the national power.

"Otōsan ~," Hina said in a long, disgruntled voice, "Longinus-nii is going to become an admiral. Who sees your position as the patron of the kingdom?"

"Cough ..." Louis coughed violently and muttered grievously, "My little princess, spare some face in front of outsiders for your papa!"

"No, you're not even able to beat a pirate with a 24 million bounty. Otōsan, you're too pathetic!"

"Strategic retreat cannot be considered a loss." Louis argued with a red face, "Can the battle thing... be considered a loss?"
