Ugly Eight Monster Apophis?

The sea is vast enough for the fish to leap, but the sky is high enough for the birds to fly.

For some reason, looking at the magnificent sea, the phrase called "poetry" in the memory of the foreign soul suddenly appeared in Longinus's mind.

"If the starting point for pirates is the New World, then the starting point for the Marine is Marineford, and it is only by stepping into there that I can be considered to have truly touched the world and begun my journey!"

"Apophis ... Vice-Admiral Garp ..." hearing the sounds of laughter and noise coming from around him, Longinus' brow furrowed. Was there a connection between the two?

"What are you guys talking about?" Longinus asked upfront.

Gregory laughed, "I almost forgot, boss, you've just returned from sharpening your physique in the deep sea and have boarded this warship bound for Headquarters. It's normal not to know of the great events that have taken place."

"By the way, boss, do you know this Apophis guy?"

"Apophis, I know him, a little known swordsman on the Grand Line," Longinus said calmly, without moving.

"Boss, someone else is more than just a minor reputation," Gregory said with an exaggerated expression.

"Ten years ago, the great sea pirate Broken Skull Buffett, who had retreated from the Grand Line, was slain by Apophis at his lair on the West Blue."

"That's a great sea pirate who once offered a bounty of 120 million berries, and even a mafia with thousands of people gathered under him, but it was such a huge force that was wiped out by that Apophis alone."

"I've heard that due to the overly bloody and brutal scenes, many of the marine's top brass consider him extremely dangerous and are even hesitant to set a bounty on him, but in my opinion, it's the ones he does that are great fun!"

"It's ironic, to say the least, knowing that the pirates who returned from the Grand Line were no good. But the government just put it there to turn a blind eye to them to stabilize the situation and appease the people, and in the end, they had to rely on a bounty hunter to take out those pirates, what a shame for the Marine!"

"Gregory, just cut the crap, just talk to us about such complaints, and watch out for those CP's in the government if you say something so reckless at the Marine Headquarters," Abraham warned.

"Got it, got it!" Gregory said with an impatient wave of his hand.

"But what does that have to do with Vice Admiral Garp?"

"Oh, yes! Since the Broken Skull Buffet that Apophis killed was the partner of the son of Chinjao, the great pirate that Vice Admiral Garp had defeated, ..."

Longinus' subtle twitch of the lips, you're forcing the two together, aren't you?

"Chinjao the Drill is a great pirate who once offered a bounty of over half a billion berries. Someone like Broken Skull Buffett can only be considered a rookie among pirates compared to him, and Apophis dares to kill his son, he really can't be described as audacious!"

Abraham picked up the conversation, "It was because of him that the long-retired chief, Chinjao, returned to sea and declared that he would be killed in the most brutal way possible."

"It is said that Apophis' unusually treacherous abilities displayed this time may have something to do with the devil fruit he ate during this time, and some inside sources say that it would define his dossier as a combination of Ability + Swordsman."

"So it seems he's making a lot of noise." Longinus nodded his head slightly. He deliberately left a particular onlooker behind so that Apophis's identity as "the one with the power" could be passed on logically.

Although the two identities of Longinus and Apophis perceived very different soul senses with the Kenbunshoku Haki, and the physical and sword arts they specialized in were vastly different. Even the face beneath the mask had been shaped into that foreign soul's likeness with Seimei Kikan. He still intended to apply a fourth layer of distinctive marks to that identity.

"Apophis's kind of killing style has attracted quite a few admirers, especially that weird and mysterious ghost face mask, which has made many little girls long for the face under his mask." Gregory suddenly smiled mischievously, "But ah, if I were to look at it, that face under Apophis's mask must be an ugly one, maybe two mouths and four nostrils are not impossible, otherwise he ... eh? Why do you feel a bit cold all of a sudden? Is it turning cold?"

Pooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Hearing the strange voice, Longinus took Den Den Mushi out of his arms and put it in the palm of his hand.

"Huh? Captain, why is your Den Den Mushi making that sound? Does it have a stomach ache, or is it seasick?" Gregory asked giddily.

"Idiot, that's an emergency signal, someone is calling for help!" Abraham said with disdain.

"Oh! Off the top of my head, it seems like some of us in the Marine like to use this to set traps, so if we get bugged when we get connected, the other side will know we've entered the signal loop!" It dawned on Gregory. Then he looked curiously at Den Den Mushi, who was crying in pain, "So, it's not like those pirates are following in their footsteps, is it?"

"The Marine Headquarters specially design this Den Den Mushi, and the emergency signals allowed to be received limited to those of the same type," Longinus explained in a fast-talking sentence, and then he picked up the microphone.

"So, this is an emergency call for help from our Marines?" Gregory said in a grave tone.

The moment the microphone was picked up, there was an urgent statement coming from Den Den Mushi, "Wherever the marine is, please also hurry and save us, if it's any later, Commodore Morgan won't be able to hold up!"

Gregory and the others looked at each other and saw the heaviness in their eyes. Not even the Commodore was a match, which was quite rare in the first half of the Grand Line.

Longinus said in a calm tone, "Don't be in a hurry, tell me your general location and the number of enemies, we'll come over soon."

"We are in the Sea of Koster between Doia and the Chain Islands, and our enemies are the venomous scorpion Foreman, who has a bounty of 72 million berries, and the sharp-edged Joseph, who has a bounty of 81 million berries."

Longinus nodded slightly, stopping these two on his own. It seemed that this Commodore Morgan was quite a bit better than that buffoon, Commodore Adkin.

"The enemy is strong if you do not have more than five ships to fight with, please also quickly notify the nearby marine fleet, we ... will do our best to support them until reinforcements arrive!" The Marine on Den Den Mushi's side was very determined and was still thinking of not pulling friendly troops down even though they were in a difficult situation themselves.

Buzz!

After Den Den Mushi hung up, Gregory and the others all looked at Longinus, "What do you want to do, Boss? We'll do what you say."

"It wouldn't be difficult to deal with the enemy if they were just two pirates with a bounty of around 80 million, but the specifics are still unclear, so it's better to be cautious."

"I'll tell you what, Gregory will fly there with me first, I can save those people in time if the situation is true, and I can get out of there easily if the situation is beyond salvage."

"What about us, Boss?"

"You follow as quickly as you can, but be sure to stay in contact with me, and only if I give the go-ahead will you rush up for support, is that understood?"

"Understood! Ensign Longinus!"
