Chương 19: Oh, Demon!
"Ho! Ha! Ah!"
In the Marine square, the tall swordsmen were sweating it out.
The young officer lying on a chair sunbathing beside him, stretched out his lazy back leisurely and said: "I say Bone-san, it's vacation time, aren't you even going to take a break?"
"Hoo-hoo!" T. Bone, who was much more fit than two years ago, gasped, "No, I'll have to work harder to catch up with Longinus-san."
"Haven't you given up that unrealistic fantasy yet? Longinus-san is a monster among monsters, and ordinary people like us can't catch up in a lifetime, so we need to follow our boss and wave our flag."
Seeing that Bone didn't take his words to heart, the young officer helplessly said, "Bone-san, the reality is so cruel, you have to learn to accept it. In this world, I'm not afraid that someone else is more talented than you, but I'm afraid that someone more talented than you will work harder than you."
"Like Longinus-san, is his kind of exercise something humans can do? Like what refines his body in the depths, builds up his endurance in lava, refines his will in glaciers, senses nature in thunder, stands firm in the winds and controls his power in the mud."
"You see, are these things that humans are capable of?"
"You've also said that geniuses like the Longinus-san are working so hard, so it's all the more reason for ordinary people like me not to stop moving forward." Bone swung his sword over and over again, his eyes still incredibly firm.
"Heck, you're no ordinary person, okay?" The young officer was powerless to groan.
"Not good...not good!" A marine came panting and reported, "Captain Gregory, Lieutenant Bone. Captain Longinus got himself captured."
"Pfft!" Gregory, who was leisurely drinking tea, spurted out a mouthful of tea and asked unbelievingly, "What a joke, even a monster like Longinus-san can be captured, could it be those pirates who came back from the New World?"
"No, no." Like a rattletrap, the marine soldier shook his head, said, "It's the vice-captain of the Giant Axe Pirates."
Gregory stared, and even T. Bone stopped swinging his sword from his wrist and said in a muffled voice, "The co-captain of the Giant Axe Pirates? That little character with the 27 million berries bounty on his head? That kind of guy wouldn't be a match for the Longinus-san even if there were a hundred more."
"Honestly, I don't think there are any pirates in the first half of the Grand Line that can make it difficult for Longinus-san!" Gregory said, unfolded his hands speechless.
"Of course, that group of pirates couldn't have been a match for Captain Longinus, but they were so despicable that they threatened innocent people's lives. Captain Longinus, who tied his own hands and feet with Kairoseki handcuffs to act as a hostage for those pirates to get the people back, has now been taken away from Sunset Island by those pirates."
"Bind your own hands and feet with Kairoseki handcuffs? Heck, even the Longinus-san couldn't break the confinement in this situation as well!" Bone turned pale and hurriedly packed his weapons to leave, "Hurry up and send me a team of soldiers to keep up with those pirates."
"Bone-san, calm down, although I don't know why Longinus-san made such a decision, you have to believe that he never fights battles without absolute control. In the end, it will only be those pirates who will be a misfortune," Gregory said in a calm and detailed analysis.
"What's more, it's not like you don't know the strength of his physique, those small pirates who have a bounty of ten or twenty million can't do anything to him even if their tricks were all out."
At Gregory's explanation, Bone looked a little less pale but remained on his feet, "That's true, but I still can't do ignore it."
"Hey, who wants you to ignore it, just be ready to catch the dust and leave the rest to me!" Gregory said, his form expands rapidly, his eyes sharp, his long beak hooked, his wings like blades. He was making a long and clear resonant sound.
"There it is, Ensign Gregory's ability, Tori Tori no Mi: Model Golden Eagle, one of only 'five' flight abilities in the world!" The reporting soldier said with no small amount of envy.
Gregory's wings flapped and went straight into the sky like an arrow.
Bone didn't stop either and muttered to himself, "Yes, with Gregory's power, he'll save Longinus-san unharmed!"
...
"Hahahahaha! The Great Pirate Hobbit's treasure map is in my possession, and I'll soon become the number one Great Pirate in this sea!" Scarface Bart grabbed the treasure map and laughed in sick maniacal redness.
"The great, wise, and mighty Captain Bart will surely lead us on a glorious journey to the pinnacle of all pirates and become known as the King of Pirates!" A pirate skillfully flattered, then tried, "But, Captain, what are we going to do with that Marine? That guy is an important person in the Marine, and if we kill him, although we can acquire incredible fame, we'll be on the Marine's must-kill list!"
Bart's face grimaced before he finally smiled maliciously, "As if there's any chance of reconciliation between the Marines and us? A band of pirates like us who openly attack towns, or even kidnap Marine Officers, would be a priority target for the Marine!"
Speaking of which, Bart also cursed terrible luck in his heart, if it wasn't for that idiot Locke not daring to flee to throw him out now to quell the Marine's anger, where did he need it to tear his face entirely like now.
"Ship...Captain, what should we do?" The pirates on the side only felt frightened. No pirate dared to provoke that giant creature ultimately. Otherwise, what awaited them would not be like their previous degree warranted.
"Hey, let's just use that guy as a stepping stone, once we make a name for ourselves, the four corners of the world will come to vote, and then we might be able to compete with the Marine!" Bart maliciously smiled as he led the crew towards the prison on the island where the prisoners were temporarily held to establish his absolute authority over the pirate crew once and for all with that legendary Captain's blood.
However, the sinister smile on his face was frozen entirely the moment he opened the prison door.
The only thing I saw on the ground was two pairs of familiar Kairoseki handcuffs. Longinus was standing and moving his body, while the pirate guarding him had already died in a pool of blood.
"You, you, you, you, you, you..." as if witnessing a scene from the most horrifying supernatural horror film, Bart only felt a cold air rush up from the bottom of his feet. Even his blood and soul were completely frozen, stuttering, and unable to speak.
"Oh! Are you asking how I managed to break out of my Kairoseki handcuffs?" Longinus said with a gentle smile.
Bart nodded numbly, no longer knowing how he should react.
"It's simple, like this!" Longinus said, and the long hair on his shoulders moved around like a viper.
"Aaaahhhh! Oh, demon!"
