Things went much better than Longinus had expected, and with the help of this incident, his reputation in the headquarters had already caught up with that of the Sakasky trio.

Even, in the eyes of those who don't know from the outside world, he is a supernova who is even more powerful than the lieutenant generals of the three monsters.

This is not to say that Sakasky and the others have not captured any pirates.

The reason why this is the case is because their deeds are far less legendary than those of Longinus.

In order to capture the pirates who escaped from his hands, he worked hard for two years, and then rose up and broke into the enemy camp alone, and finally killed the thief leader Waldo at the cost of the destruction of an island and the death of nearly 10,000 pirates.

This kind of experience is undoubtedly more in line with the people's fantasy of heroes, especially when Waldo is still a sea thief who once competed with Roger Whitebeard and others, and this experience is more epic and legendary.

This kind of epic legend of ups and downs will be sung by others.

……

Although things were going well, Longinus's heart was not happy about it, and he still replied to everyone's greetings as usual humbly and gently.

"Colonel Longinus is so gentle, like Lieutenant General Karp, he has no stand on everyone!"

"Or how to say it's a hero's inheritance! However, your title will probably change soon. ”

"I know that the next goodbye we should have to call Brigadier General Longinus or Major General Longinus!"

"If it were someone else, I would definitely not be convinced that he could be promoted to the rank of general at such a young age, but if Colonel Longinus is a colonel, even if he directly crosses over to lieutenant general, I will not have any opinion."

"That is, from the moment Colonel Longinus dared to kill a king for some ordinary people, I have been a diehard loyalist of the colonel for the rest of my life!"

Longinus calmly walked towards the marshal's office, as if the whispers of adoration or admiration behind him could not disturb his pace for half a minute.

In the marshal's office, the familiar triumvirate sits.

The marshal who is responsible for embodying the sense of existence, the wise general Sengoku who is responsible for controlling the overall situation, and the melon-eating masses who are responsible for "being monitored" Karp.

"Longinus, sit down first."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, you've been in the ministry for three years." Sora praised, "I didn't expect to give me such a big surprise before graduation." Your action to kill Waldo this time has made this chaotic sea a lot clearer. ”

"I'm just making amends for the mistakes I've made before, and there's nothing to praise about it."

"It's not a good thing to be too modest, and you really should learn from Karp in this regard."

"Haha! That's it, the old man has always been ......" Karp was saying, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, Marshal Kong's words, could it be that he was turning around and saying that he was thick-skinned?

"However, you have a problem for me."

Sora sighed and said, "Originally, based on your merits, I planned to promote you to brigadier general after you graduated, but if you made this one, I felt that I was unfairly rewarded and punished if I didn't give you the rank of major general." ”

"However, the seventeen-year-old Major General ......" Sora shook his head, not knowing what words to use to describe it.

The Navy's earliest promotion record was set by Kuzan, at the age of 21 brigadier general, 24 years old rear admiral, and 27 years old vice admiral, which is actually shocking enough.

You must know that the navy that Sakasky joined at the age of twenty-three and the navy that Polusalino joined at the age of twenty-six, although their promotion speed may be similar, but the shock is completely different.

And the words of Longinus, a seventeen-year-old major general, can really only be described as out of line!

"Marshal Kong, actually, this is the main thing I intend to talk about today." Longinus smiled, "Please don't let Waldo's affairs make me unusually promoted, if I can, I would prefer to be promoted step by step by virtue of my true merits." ”

"Are you going to refuse to be promoted to major general?" Kong was slightly surprised and glanced at Karp at the same time, one of these two refused to be promoted to major general, and the other refused to be promoted to general, isn't this rank poisonous?

Karp nodded smugly, this kid can finally comprehend his magnificent personality!

"Yes, please!"

Longinus naturally did not choose to refuse because of the reason he gave, he considered it from a deeper level of interest.

Purely in terms of strength, let alone a major general, even most lieutenant generals are not necessarily as strong as him.

But the navy is different from the pirates, and seniority is a consideration that can never be ignored.

Don't look at the many people who say that they are very convinced that he will become a major general, but there will always be a thorn left in the heart, and once the seeds of jealousy and resentment are planted, it is not so easy to take out.

While this kind of thing is harmless, for Longinus, who is striving for perfection, he doesn't want a stain on his resume.

Moreover, man is a very strange creature in the first place.

If he is promoted to major general, many people may be dissatisfied and resentful, but if he is promoted to brigadier general, the same group of people may feel that there is a shady scene and turn around to fight for him.

In a sense, seventeen-year-old brigadier generals are a bit shocking, but in such a comparison, maybe most people will think that he became a brigadier general at the age of seventeen is too wronged!

Many people estimate that they will make up an image of a tragic hero in his brain.

What's more, with his strength and merits, even if he learns from the yellow ape, he can be re-promoted to major general within a year or two.

Therefore, there is really no need for him to affect his reputation within the Navy for a year or two.

Obviously, emptiness is one of those people just mentioned.

He felt that the promotion to major general was a bit too much, but when he heard that Longinus refused to be promoted, he felt that brigadier general was too unfair to Longinus.

"What a headache! Why can't there be a brigadier major? ”

"Marshal Kong, in fact, you don't have to be too embarrassed, this is my own choice, if the capture of pirates is just for the promotion of military ranks, it will lose its true meaning."

Longinus said without blushing and without a heartbeat, "What's more, being able to become a brigadier general at the age of seventeen is already the biggest recognition of me by the headquarters!" ”

"Hey!" The honest man sighed, "Okay, I'm just wronged you!" ”

After thinking about it, Sora decided to add, "In a year or two at most, I will promote your rank to major general." ”

This time, Longinus naturally did not refuse, "Thank you, Marshal Kong, I will definitely try my best to make myself worthy of this status." ”

"Haha! If it weren't for the dissatisfaction of other people, I would have planned to promote you directly to lieutenant general, at least, you are much more reliable than some bastard waiting for death! ”

Karp looked confused" (ºДº*), he didn't talk much today, how could he still throw the pot on him (╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻?)
