Chapter 39: Quotations from Longinus
"However, to be madly worshiped by so many people, that navy named Longinus must be a very powerful guy!" Thinking of this, Shanks opened the pamphlet with great interest.
"In November 1498, Warrant Officer Longinus arrested the rotten navy, liberated five towns under the reign of darkness, and said to the rotten navy, 'I believe that this word is an immortal truth, and that what is gained by the sword will be lost by the sword.'" ”
"In May 1499, Lieutenant Longinus assisted the kingdom of Noah in quelling the war, and exclaimed on the bloody and cruel battlefield, 'War is a feast of death, and it will open the gates to hell!' ”
"July 1499 in the Lunar Calendar, Lieutenant Longinus ......"
The pamphlet is only a few short pages, not heavy, and does not give a detailed account of every deed in a long way, I don't know whether the author thinks that this thin pamphlet will soon be filled with more content, or whether the author thinks that this short sentence is enough to make an impact.
Anyway, after reading it, the cynical smile on Shanks' face has gradually faded, and it has been replaced by a solemn and solemn expression.
"Boss, I have to say, this guy is indeed a very attractive man, legendary deeds and quotations, fantastic strength and appearance, if I were one of those little girls, I would probably be obsessed and crazy because of him." The gunman, dressed as a thug, came to Shanks at some point and looked at the quotation and laughed.
His words made Shanks laugh, "If that admiral knew that you were also madly infatuated with him, he wouldn't be too happy." ”
"Shanks, Jesus, what are you two laughing at, the things have been procured, let's go to sea while no one is paying attention now." The cold man with a spear tied to his waist and a bangs hanging down his left sideburn squeezed into the sea of people and whispered.
Who knows, Shanks grabbed his shoulders and smiled heartlessly: "Beckman, take it easy, we haven't officially gone to sea yet, and the navy doesn't have our want, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm fine with Jesus, but you, captain, are not a good part of the crew of the former One Piece." Ben Beckman quietly escaped from Shanks's clutches, and then spoke slowly.
"Shhhh Hush! Shanks leaned into Beckman's ear with a look of "horror" and said, "Be quiet, I don't want to be noticed by those navies so soon!" ”
Ben Beckman pushed him away in disgust, and said indifferently: "Anyway, you are the captain, you can do what you want!" ”
"Haha! Don't worry, I'll leave with you when I've finished reading that Major Longinus' investiture ceremony. I'm not here for fun, as your captain, it's only natural that I'll take the risk of spying on the enemy! Shanks boasted, completely ignoring the disdain in their eyes.
The navy in the square walked past one line after another, and finally, the moment Longinus appeared on the stage, the atmosphere was pushed to the climax.
"Ahh Lord Longinus has appeared! ”
"Major Longinus, I will always support you!"
Seeing that there were many girls around him who were so excited that they fainted, Shanks was stunned, and looked at Longinus, who was receiving the honors of the three kings in the square, and said unconvinced, "This guy looks unremarkable, are they like this?" ”
Jesus Cloth grabbed Shanks by the shoulders and smiled, "Boss, jealousy is the devil!" ”
Ben Beckman also commented indifferently, "He is indeed much more handsome than you." ”
Seeing Shanks looking devastated, the scumbag Jesus Bu imparted his experience and said, "Boss, you don't understand this, when these little girls pass the superficial stage of chasing appearance, they will know that the most important thing for a mature man is the connotation." ”
"It was with this melancholy appearance that I managed to attract the attention of Bancina......" At this point, Jesus paused for a moment before continuing to laugh, "Like the boss, these three scars on your left eye, you can see the story of vicissitudes at a glance, and you will definitely be more popular than that navy in the future!" ”
"Is that so? Hahaha! Shanks soon burst into laughter, drawing disgruntled glances.
"The award ceremony is over, can we leave now?"
"Haha! It's rare to come once, why don't we ......" Seeing that Beckman had already cast his cold gaze, Shanks raised his hands as if surrendering, "Okay, okay, I know!" ”
Taking advantage of the heat that had not yet dissipated, the three quietly left the crowd.
On a sparsely populated street, Beckman puts his hands in his trouser pockets.
"Captain, have you figured out where to go next?"
"Hmmm! I intend to follow Captain Roger's route to witness what he has been through, and to rebuild that unfinished journey. Shanks pressed the straw hat on his head, his gaze determined.
He and Bucky disembarked halfway because of their lack of strength at that time, and it became a long-standing regret in his heart that he could not complete the great voyage.
"One Piece's route? Not bad......" Beckman nodded approvingly.
"Huh? It looks like someone is shouting for help! Shanks suddenly perked up and looked into the distance.
"Hey, boss, we're pirates! Aren't you really going to be a naval hero who guards justice after reading that navy's quotes? Jesus laughed teasingly.
"Haha! Someone I know anyway, it's hard to let her suffer in front of my eyes! With that, Shanks quickly ran forward.
"Someone you know? Is that the chick from before? Could it be that the boss's spring has arrived? Jesus Bu smiled lewdly and soon followed.
In the corner of the alley, the petite girl is forced into a corner by three bad gangsters.
"Hehe, everyone else has gone to the square to see the navy, we were going to take advantage of this opportunity to steal something, but now, it seems like we have a better choice!"
"Don't talk nonsense, let Lao Tzu be the first if you are verbose."
"That's not good, I said it last time, and if there is such a good thing, Uncle Ben must be the first."
The girl trembled and threatened, "You...... Don't come here, or Major Longinus will punish you scoundrels!" ”
The three of them looked at each other and laughed wildly, "At this time, no one will come to save you if you cut your throat." However, maybe you will call for help later, which means something else. ”
The delinquent boy standing at the front was already arrogantly unbuttoning his trouser belt, only to hear a sudden gunshot, the delinquent boy looked down blankly, and then let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"My eggs...... My balls ......"
"Oops, I'm really sorry, I was going to hit your hand, but I accidentally missed a little."
Hearing a voice from behind, the two bad boys, who had not had time to react, looked behind them, only to see a guy dressed like them turning a pistol, and the frivolous words came out of his mouth.
