Chapitre 601: Talking in the Holy Land
The Holy Land, Mariejois.
A variety of tall buildings stand quietly, exquisite and beautiful; there is no sign that this place was once a ruin five years ago.
However, it is not entirely unchanged.
At least, specific disgusting figures are indeed much less.
"Fleet Admiral-dono, welcome!" Cister was already waiting at the entrance in advance.
"Thank you, but I guess nothing good is going to happen when I come over today." Longinus walked up with a sigh.
Cister snorted, "Fleet Admiral Hitsujiza, you are the most valued person by Gorosei-sama, that kind of worry, there is absolutely no need to come."
Longinus laughed and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, your CP0 is too slow to act this time, right? We've been fighting the revolutionary army for two rounds and still haven't seen any reinforcements coming."
Cister let out a long sigh and lowered his voice and said, "It's because last time Asa-senpai was killed under the noses of two admirals, and Sivis-dono thinks that it was the Marine's inaction that led to Asa-senpai's sacrifice."
"That's why Sivis-dono urged the Celestial Dragon to go to the Sabaody Archipelago for fun, and then, on the grounds of protecting the safety of the Celestial Dragon, he detained us all there."
Longinus narrowed his eyes and asked, "Didn't you report this kind of thing to Gorosei-sama?"
Cister shook his head and said, "Sivis-dono is our CP0's top secret agent, how could he possibly leave a breach in such matters? In fact, whether it was going out for a tour or detaining us, it was a decision made by the Celestial Dragon themselves. Among them, Sivis-dono merely did a little bit of guiding."
"So that's how it is? Involving the Celestial Dragons, indeed it is not good to report to Gorosei-sama!" Longinus sighed, then asked, "But this kind of thing to tell me an outsider, is there really no problem?"
Cister lowered his voice and smiled, "I'm just a little uncomfortable with the way Sivis-dono is doing it. At least, I will definitely be on your side, Fleet Admiral Longinus!"
Longinus sighed "sincerely", "If only CP0 was filled with people like Cister-san who understood the big picture!"
As they said that, the two of them had already arrived at the Room of Authority in Pangaea Castle.
"All Gorosei-sama are waiting inside, so I will leave you alone for now!" Cister politely retreated.
"Like I did when I kicked Akainu out of the competition, do you also want to get that Sivis-dono straight out of the competition?" Looking at Cister's distant back, Longinus muttered to himself in his heart, then pushed open the door and walked in.
"Gorosei-sama, Longinus has come to pay his respects."
"Fleet Admiral Longinus, what you did this time is quite disappointing to several of us!"
"Is that so?" Longinus smiled, "If there is something I have done wrong, please clarify."
"You don't even know what you did wrong?" Long-haired Gorosei said coldly, "This is a very dangerous signal!"
The blond Gorosei were not at all polite and rebuked, "You should know what kind of attitude the government has towards the revolutionary army, so why don't you seize the opportunity to wipe them out?"
The Gorosei with the sword is coldly said, "I know you and the revolutionary army reached an agreement, but I hope you know that in front of the interests of the government, the name and face of the marine is nothing!"
The bearded Gorosei also rebuked, "To be precise, you have no need to reach any agreement with the Revolutionary Army, that kind of unknown mechanical monsters, in terms of threat level can not be compared with the Revolutionary Army!"
The curly-haired Gorosei were coughing and ready to take over, but seeing Longinus' breezy face, he suddenly had a tasteless feeling, "Fleet Admiral Longinus, what's your attitude?"
"I'm listening carefully!" Longinus spread his hands and laughed helplessly, "In fact, all five of you know what kind of a person I am, and what I am saying now is actually completely unnecessary."
"What do you mean?" Curly-haired Gorosei said coldly, "What do you mean there is no need?"
"With our marine alone, there is no way to deal any real blow to the revolutionary army. Even if we chose to turn the tables at that time, at best, we would only intercept a portion of the revolutionary army from Dragon, which is not much help to the current situation."
Longinus sighed, "Gorosei-sama keep ignoring other issues and only talking about the marine's mistakes, I think they are worried that I am not willing to give something to you, so they keep adding to their own bargaining chips, right?"
The Gorosei looked at each other with some panic in their eyes and coughed heavily, "I know that the government and CP0 both have inaction in this incident, but you marine ..."
"If Gorosei-sama are wanting that part of the core fragment, I can give it to you." Longinus said openly and honestly.
The Gorosei did not get angry at being interrupted but instead looked at Longinus with some surprise and uncertainty and asked, "You actually agreed so easily?"
They all knew that Longinus was a man of principle. Although he would make certain compromises for the greater good, he never took a step backward on principle matters. The potential threat of those fragments might make Longinus somewhat vulnerable.
If they force it, they are also worried about what will trigger unpredictable consequences. After all, Longinus' prestige in the marine is not at all comparable to a certain former admiral.
"I think, Gorosei-sama should want to use this part of the fragment to research the way of mechanical transmigration! I have no objection to this, however, please ensure strictly safety in the process of research, and absolutely cannot let that part of the fragment escape!"
The Gorosei looked at each other again and exchanged glances, then the long-haired Gorosei stepped forward and said, "You are right, we do think so. In that cataclysmic event five years ago, the government's stockpile of pure gold was all destroyed, and in order to appease the world nobles, we needed to come up with a new immortality program that would give them hope."
Longinus nodded slightly, "That is as it should be!"
The blond Gorosei then said, "From the mouth of those doctors you rescued, we also know that Vegapunk has completed most of the research. If this part of the core technology was given to them to reverse the derivation, it may be possible to study the method of human consciousness to obtain immortality on the machinery!"
The bearded Gorosei also laughed, "The government will remember the contribution you made, Fleet Admiral Longinus, and when your life comes to an end, we can license you to continue guarding the government in the form of mechanical life! As for your comment about letting the shards escape, such a thing will certainly not happen."
"Thank you for your kindness, Gorosei-sama." Longinus did not care about the other party's "curse", just some helpless smile.
Seeing that Longinus agreed so easily, the harshness on the face of the Gorosei also melted quickly like spring snow, each with a smile on their faces, the attitude towards Longinus promptly changed.
Especially the CP0, who stood guard on the outside, was almost shocked that his eyes jumped out when he saw the Gorosei personally send Longinus out the door.
