"Colonel Adkin, Colonel Adkin......" A second lieutenant hurriedly ran to the door of the conference room to report.

At this moment, the admiral who was sitting alone at the table, staring at the sea chart on the table with a solemn face, slowly raised his head: "Second Lieutenant Firmman, please always pay attention to your words and deeds, as a second lieutenant, I hope you will always show a calm and calm appearance in the eyes of the people!"

"Yes!" Fillman saluted with shame, and then said solemnly: "Colonel Adkin, we have found traces of the Giant Rhino Pirates on the shore of the island ahead, and their ships are all anchored on the coastline."

"Is the island inhabited?"

"There's a town called Fallen Leaf Town on that island."

Colonel Adkin's expression instantly became serious, and he asked sharply, "Can you see the fire on the island now...... Is there a smell of gunpowder in the sea breeze? ”

Taken aback by Colonel Adkin's harsh words, Fillman swallowed his saliva and said, "No...... We didn't find anything. ”

"Arismo is cruel and suspicious, if the slaughter is completed, he will not stay on the island, and you have not seen artillery fire, which means that he may not have landed for a long time...... Or have held hostage the inhabitants of the island and are ready to negotiate with us. ”

Colonel Adkin's expression softened slightly, "Either way, it's much better than him causing another tragedy." ”

"Ensign Fillman......"

"Yes!"

"Deliver my command at once, pull the sails to the fullest, and hurry to the island as fast as possible!"

……

In the town, many townspeople were sending the "captures" of the naval battle to their homes one after another, and suddenly a few little children with snotty noses ran on their short legs, calling loudly as they ran:

"Oh no, no, the sea is ...... Many more great ships are coming! ”

When the words fell, the crowd instantly stirred.

"What? Are there pirates attacking again? ”

"Oops! Could it be that the pirates are eyeing our loot? ”

"Damn, fight with them, now we have a musket in our hands, and even dismantled a few cannons from the ship, without paying a huge price, even the pirates don't want to take advantage of us."

Because of the experience of repelling pirates several times in the past three years, the townspeople are not as afraid of pirates as ordinary towns, as long as they are not the notorious large pirate groups like the Giant Rhino Pirates, they do not lack the courage to fight against them.

……

"What do you say? The Giant Rhino Pirates were wiped out, and even the Giant Rhino Alex died at your hands? Colonel Adkin's eyes widened, almost suspecting that the kind old man in front of him was a spy sent by Alex to confuse them.

The captains who followed behind Adekin also widened their eyes, and the giant rhino pirates who had repeatedly escaped from their navy had been wiped out in an ordinary town, which sounded even more bizarre than fairy tales.

"Huh? No, you are mistaken! It was the first time for the mayor to see a high-ranking officer like a naval colonel, and he seemed a little at a loss for a while, and hurriedly explained, "Being able to defeat the Giant Rhino Pirates is mainly due to Longinus, and we ...... it."

"Ahhh Damn pirates, I'll fight you ......."

While the two were talking, a large group of townsfolk rushed out of the town with muskets in their hands, and they were also a little dumbfounded when they saw this harmonious scene, the uniforms worn by those people seemed to be the navy, right?

"Damn pirates, let go of Grandpa Mayor......" A few little boys who hadn't figured out the situation yet screamed and rushed forward.

"You little bastards, that's not pirates...... It's the Navy! A quick-eyed townsman grabbed them and explained awkwardly.

"Huh? Is it the navy that Brother Longinus went to sea to join? So are they their own people? ”

Immediately afterwards, the little kid said aggrievedly: "Also, what we said before is that there are many big ships coming, and you yourself said that there are pirates......"

When a few people thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, and their faces were a little unbearable, and they slapped the buttocks of a few little children in annoyance, "Children, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Brother Longinus said that violence will not solve problems, and justice will eventually stand in the ......"

The impassioned uprising of a few little children finally ushered in a violent suppression.

Bang Bang Bang!

"Justice will be on the dictator's side......" a couple of little kids muttered, rubbing their buttocks.

Colonel Adkin looked at the scene in front of him with amusement, and was interested in the Longinus they had repeatedly mentioned, a young man who could defeat the giant Rhino Alex and had a heart for justice was too rare.

"The man who defeated the Giant Rhino Alex is the Longinus you mentioned? Can you tell me about him? ”

Hearing Adkin mention Longinus, the surrounding scouts instantly felt that this majestic navy was not so terrifying, and they vied with each other to speak.

"I'll come first, I'll come first, Big Brother Longinus came to our town because of a shipwreck three years ago, and because of this, Big Brother Longinus has helped us resist dozens of pirate invasions, large and small, in the past three years."

"Well, even the fierce and vicious big bald head yesterday is not the opponent of Big Brother Longinus, Big Brother Longinus is the patron saint of our Fallen Leaf Town!"

Seeing that everyone said the same thing, Adkin was moved and forced to accept this seemingly absurd conclusion, and the giant rhino pirates, who had escaped the pursuit of the navy many times, finally fell into the hands of a teenager who had not yet stepped out of the sea.

"Longinus...... Is he a Devil Fruit Ability? ”

The townsfolk looked at each other, unsure of the meaning of Adkin's words.

Seeing this, Adkin knew in his heart that it was normal not to know the rumors of the Devil Fruit on such a closed island, so he asked in a different way: "Longinus...... Can he swim in the ocean? ”

"Absolutely!" The townsfolk looked at Adkin with strange eyes, and secretly slandered in their hearts that there were a few men by the sea who couldn't swim.

I'm afraid this navy is not a fool!

And those young teenagers even coaxed, "Brother Longinus will dive into the deep sea every day to exercise, and by the way, catch a sea king class for everyone to improve their food!" ”

"By the way, catch a sea king?" The corners of the captain's mouth twitched behind Adkin, it would be good to say if it was on the surface, but if you want to kill the Sea Kings in the deep sea, even the Commodore may not be able to do it.

Seeing that the residents of the town were all ruddy and strong, the captains of the navy had a faint feeling of envy in their hearts.

You must know that as the overlord of the sea, the sea kings, not to mention the delicious meat, but also rich in abundant life energy, long-term consumption can fundamentally enhance the body, is the top food on the sea.

Even Colonel Adkin, the highest-ranking of them, could only eat once or twice when he returned to the Navy Headquarters to report on his duties, but listening to the townspeople, they seemed to be able to eat fresh Sea Kings every day, which made them mad with jealousy.

"The meat of the sea kings is really delicious, but it's a pity that after eating it for three years in a row, no matter how delicious the food is, I'm a little tired of it." A townsman said with a sigh.

"Yes, after Brother Longinus is gone, we can finally change our tastes." Bucky ignored the murderous gazes of the navy and said unconsciously.

Colonel Adkin tried to calm down his restless heart, and asked quietly, "Listen to what you mean, did he go to join the navy?" ”

"Yes, according to Brother Longinus, it seems that he is going to the "chicken" branch of the Navy to participate in the world conscription. ”

"It's the G2 branch of the Navy." Adkin first corrected the other party's statement, and then muttered to himself: "You can defeat the giant rhino Alex with pure physique, and his strength is no less than that of an ordinary colonel-level officer." If he can further his studies in this department, he may be able to become a major general or even a big man at the level of lieutenant general, no, I have to rush back to the G2 branch quickly and win him over before anyone else can do it. ”

Seeing that Adkin seemed to have the intention of leaving, the mayor hurriedly said, "This ...... General, can you exchange the head of the Giant Rhino Alex for a bounty? ”

Adkin was moved again: "That young man...... Did you leave the head worth 37 million Baileys to you? ”

"Well, Brother Longinus said that he was not interested in money, he never touched money."

"Hey! This teenager named Longinus...... What a heart of gold! ”
