Holy Land, Mary Joa.

All sorts of tall buildings stand quietly, exquisitely beautiful, and there is no sign that this place was once in ruins five years ago.

However, it is not entirely unchanged.

At least, some of the disgusting figures are much less.

"Marshal, welcome!" Silt was already waiting at the entrance in advance.

"Thank you, but I guess nothing good will happen when I came here today." Longinus sighed and stepped forward.

Siste snorted, "Marshal Aries, you are the person most valued by Your Excellency the Five Old Stars, and that kind of worry is completely unnecessary." ”

Longinus smiled and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, your CP0's action this time is too slow, we have fought two back and forth with the revolutionary army, and we still haven't seen any reinforcements arrive. ”

With a long sigh, Sister lowered his voice and said, "It was because of the last time Asa's predecessor was killed under the noses of two admirals, and Lord Sives believes that it was the inaction of the navy that led to the sacrifice of Asa's predecessor. ”

"That's why His Excellency Civis asked the Celestial Dragon Master to go to the Chambord Islands to play, and then detained all of us there on the pretext of protecting the safety of the Celestial Dragon Lord."

Longinus squinted his eyes and asked, "Didn't you report this kind of thing to Your Excellency the Five Old Stars?" ”

Siste shook his head and said, "Lord Sivis is our CP0's top agent, how could he leave a flaw in this kind of thing?" In fact, whether it is to go out to play or detain us, it is a decision made by the Tianlong people themselves. In this, Lord Civis only made a little guidance. ”

"Is that so? When it comes to the Tianlong people, it is indeed not good to report to His Excellency the Five Old Stars! Longinus sighed, and then asked, "But is there really nothing wrong with this kind of thing to me, an outsider?" ”

Sistt lowered his voice and smiled, "I'm just a little unaccustomed to His Excellency Sives's approach, everyone is a member of the government, and solidarity and sincere cooperation with each other is the most correct choice!" At the very least, I will definitely be on your side with Marshal Longinus! ”

Longinus sighed "sincerely", "If only CP0 were full of people like Lord Sister who understood the big picture!" ”

With that, the two of them came to the hall of power in Pongel Castle.

"The five Your Excellencies are waiting inside, so I won't bother you yet!" Heath politely stepped back.

"Imagine that I kicked Akainu out of the competition, do you also want that Lord Cives to be directly out of the game?" Looking at Sist's back in the distance, Longinus muttered to himself, then pushed open the door and walked in.

"Your Excellency the Five Old Stars, Longinus has come to pay a visit."

"Marshal Longinus, what you did this time has disappointed a few of us!"

"Really?" Longinus smiled, "If I do something wrong, please make it clear." ”

"Don't you even know what you're doing wrong?" The long-haired Five Old Stars said in a cold voice, "This is a very dangerous signal!" ”

The blonde-haired five old stars scolded even more politely, "You should know what kind of attitude the government has towards the revolutionary army, why don't you seize the opportunity to annihilate them all?" ”

The five old stars holding the sword said in a cold voice, "I know that you have reached an agreement with the revolutionary army, but I want you to know that in the face of the interests of the government, the name and face of the navy are nothing at all!" ”

The bearded five old stars also reprimanded, "To be precise, you don't need to make any agreement with the revolutionary army at all, that kind of mechanical monster that doesn't know the so-called is impossible to compare with the revolutionary army in terms of threat!" ”

The curly-haired five old stars were coughing and preparing to relay, but seeing Longinus's breezy face, he suddenly had a feeling of being bored, "Marshal Longinus, what is your attitude?" ”

"I'm listening!" Longinus spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "Actually, the five Your Excellencies all know what kind of person I am, and what I am saying now is actually completely unnecessary. ”

"What do you mean?" The curly-haired five old stars said with a cold face, "What do you mean that it is not necessary?" ”

"With our navy alone, we can't inflict any real damage on the revolutionary army, even if we choose to turn the other cheek at that time, at most we will only intercept the next part of the revolutionary army from Dorag, which will not help much in the current situation."

Longinus sighed, "The five Excellencies have been ignoring other issues and only talking about the mistakes of the navy, probably because they are worried that I am not willing to hand over something to you, so they keep increasing their bargaining chips, right?" ”

The five old stars looked at each other, their eyes were a little flustered, and they coughed heavily, "I know that in this incident, the government and CP0 have inaction, but your navy ......"

"If the five Excellencies want that piece of the core fragment, I can give it to you." Longinus was open and honest.

The five old stars were not angry because they were interrupted, but looked at Longinus with some surprise and asked, "You agreed so easily?" ”

They all know that Longinus is a principled man, although he will make certain compromises for the sake of the overall situation, he will never take a step back on principled issues, and the potential threat of those fragments may make Longinus a little sensitive.

In the case of forced persecution, they also worry about unpredictable consequences. After all, Longinus's prestige in the Navy was not at all comparable to that of a former admiral.

"I think your Excellencies are trying to use this fragment to study the way of mechanical reincarnation! I don't disagree with this, but please be strictly safe during your research, and don't let that piece of debris escape! ”

The Five Elders looked at each other again, made eye contact, and then the long-haired Five Elders stood up and said, "You're right, that's what we do. In the cataclysm of five years ago, all the pure gold in the government's stockpiles was destroyed, and in order to appease the nobles of the world, we need to come up with a new plan for eternal life that will give them hope. ”

Longinus bowed slightly, "This is right!" ”

The Blonde Five continued, "From the mouths of those doctors you rescued, we also know that Vegapunk has completed most of the research, and if we give them this part of the core technology to be deduced backwards, we may be able to research a way for human consciousness to gain immortality mechanically!" ”

The bearded five old stars also smiled, "The government will remember your contribution to Marshal Longinus, and when your life comes to an end, we can grant you permission to continue to protect the government in the form of a mechanical life!" As for what you said about letting the debris escape, of course that doesn't happen. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, the Five Old Stars, for your kindness." Longinus didn't care about the other party's "curse", but just smiled helplessly.

Seeing that Longinus agreed so easily, the harshness on the faces of the five old stars quickly melted away like spring snow, and there were smiles on their faces, and their attitude towards Longinus quickly changed.

Especially CP0, who was standing guarding the outside world, was almost so frightened that his eyes jumped out when he saw the five old stars personally send Longinus out of the door.
