Chapter 540: Talk
"You're finally here!" Magellan was still patting Longinus on the back with emotion, making the latter a little confused, is the relationship between them so good?
"Haha! Magellan, you ......"
"Since you're here, I can go to the toilet with peace of mind!"
Hearing Magellan's next words, Longinus's smile froze on his face.
"You have to watch Lieutenant General Karp, don't let him do anything stupid." With a whisper in Longinus' ear, Magellan hurried to his portable toilet with his big belly in his hands.
Longinus rubbed his somewhat stiff face and walked forward.
In front of the prison where Fire Fist Ace was held, Karp sat cross-legged, looking like no one was approaching, and even the jailer stood far away.
"Lieutenant General Karp." Longinus said hello.
"You're not preparing for war in your headquarters, what are you doing here?" Karp's tone was a little low, something he didn't find in him.
"I was just going to talk to Jinping, but I didn't expect to meet you, the old man, here."
"Do you want to sit?" Karp flicked his ass.
"Then you're welcome." Longinu sat down.
"Magellan, that imp asked you to spy on me, right?"
"Yes." Longinus directly admitted, "After all, Magellan is not familiar with the old man, and he will do this out of duty." ”
"Hey! He really didn't do anything wrong, and without him, I might have been really impulsive. Karp said without hesitation.
"Grandpa, you're ......," Ace in the prison was shocked.
"What's all the fuss about? Look at Longinus, he didn't have such a big reaction to the admiral. Karp said dissatisfied, "In terms of mentality, you should learn from him in the future." ”
Ace twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, the most unstable person is yourself, and besides, where will he have a future?
Longinus shook his head, "People are not gods, and it is normal to be affected by emotions, at least, Lieutenant General Karp did not turn your impulses into action. ”
"Hahahaha! See? This guy has a lot more to say than you! Karp laughed so hard that tears came out, pointed at Longinus and sighed, "I originally planned to train you and Luffy to be as good as him, but I didn't expect that you would end up being the sworn enemies of the navy." ”
"Perhaps, this is fate!" Ace sighed at first, and then smiled, "Moreover, I heard my father say that he really cultivated this Aries general...... It should be the Zefa general, right? ”
"What do you know?" Karp blew his beard and glared and scolded, "Zefa's is mine!" ”
Ace was speechless, "Grandpa, why are you more like a pirate than me?" ”
The two glared at each other for a moment, and then laughed one after another.
In the distance, Hannibal said to himself, "Great, a naval hero and a prison felon, all crazy, this is a major dereliction of duty on the part of the prison warden, and I will soon be promoted to commissioner!" ”
Longinus was silent, and he could certainly see that both men were smiling at each other.
After laughing for a while, Karp said with some amusement, "That's it, you bastard, enjoy the last journey of your life!" ”
With that, Karp got up and walked to the elevator.
Longinus was still sitting, looked at Ace, and asked indifferently, "Do you regret it?" ”
"Regret what?"
"If you hadn't escaped from me three years ago, you should have reformed yourself now, instead of waiting powerlessly for death!"
Ace yelled with some excitement, "How can you regret it?" If I hadn't run away at that time, I wouldn't have challenged Whitebeard, I wouldn't have met my father, and I wouldn't have realized the meaning of my existence. Becoming Whitebeard's son is the proudest thing in my life! ”
"This momentum is indeed very similar to that little guy named Luffy." Longinus said, "If it weren't for Lieutenant General Karp, I would have thought you were brothers!" ”
"Luffy?" Ace's excitement eased, "I didn't hear Grandpa talk about Luffy, it seems that he wasn't caught by you, right?" ”
"Oh? You know I'm going to catch him? ”
"You're different from the average navy, and you're different from grandpa, and I've heard Uncle Shanks say that your stance is never swayed by emotions!"
"Is that a compliment?" Longinus chuckled and continued, "He's lucky, and when he was about to capture him, Lone Red suddenly jumped out. ”
"Lone Red?" Ace was rather surprised and asked, "Why did he save Luffy?" ”
"Save him? It's almost as bad as it hurts him. Longinus shook his head, "Labor reform in the city is his salvation!" ”
Ace resolutely said, "Breaking the wings of dreams is not some kind of salvation!" ”
"Ah~ cool!" A long sigh interrupted the conversation between the two, and Magellan came from a distance touching his stomach, exuding a certain "fragrant" smell, "Huh? And what about Lieutenant General Karp? ”
"Lieutenant General Karp has returned." Longinus said with bated breath.
"That's great." Magellan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since it's none of my business, then I'll go over and see Jinping." Longinus smiled and moved the tool man Jinping out, intending to quickly leave the killing range of the rich aura.
Ace suddenly stopped him, "General Longinus, please be careful of the man who claims to be Blackbeard!" ”
"I don't need you to say it, I know that guy is not simple." Longinus paused, "But the problem is that the headquarters can't voluntarily give up a powerful force because of my attitude, especially at this juncture. ”
Ace fell silent.
In front of a single prison, Jinping sat inside.
Due to the existence of the fish-man guerrillas, and the position is not completely biased towards Whitebeard, the treatment at this time is much better than that of the original time and space.
Seeing Longinus coming, the blue fishman lowered his head in shame, "General Longinus, I'm sorry." ”
"No need to apologize, if you would agree to fight Whitebeard, it wouldn't be very peaceful."
"It's too willful to make trouble for General Longinus!"
Longinus sighed, "Actually, not to mention you, even many admirals, including me, don't want to fight this war. ”
"General Longinus, you ......" Jinping's eyes widened, unable to believe that such words could come out of Longinus's mouth.
"I'm not resisting the war, fighting the Whitebeard Pirates, it's a matter of course, but we don't want the war to be pushed for that ridiculous reason, and we don't want the Navy to fight such an untimely war under the impetus of a pirate!"
"Is it possible for this war to stop?" Jinping asked hopefully.
"It's impossible, the gears of fate have begun to turn, and no one can stop before the tide of this era!"
