The Pirate's Dark Admiral

Chapter 151 Doing what you want without transgressing the rules - Jiazhi (45)
Longinus is very clear that it is not a long-term solution for one person to play two identities. To solve this problem, the best way is to use the power of Devil Fruit.

Of course, he himself would not eat Devil Fruits. Once his ability is exposed, it will be more likely to attract suspicion, but Devil Fruit items are different. As long as they are kept carefully, who knows how much equipment he hides?
However, the source of this devil fruit item cannot be Vegapunk.

Although it is said that after Vegapunk develops the technology of devil fruit items, in his capacity at that time, he can probably ask for a customized piece of equipment, but doing so will undoubtedly completely expose his own ambitions.

If Vegapunk is excluded, there are still people in this world who may develop devil fruit item technology, and only Vinsmoke Gage and M. Caesar Courant, who are also involved in the research of blood factors, have this possibility.

Caesar is still a member of the scientific unit of the Navy Headquarters, so he is naturally excluded. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gage will be targeted by Longinus.

"Unfortunately, the development of devil fruit item technology does not happen overnight. Before Gaji completes his research, I can only let Apophis appear in front of the world as little as possible!" Standing on the returning warship, welcome Feeling the sea breeze, Longinus thought to himself.

On the giant ship of the Kingdom of Germa, watching Longinus leave, Gage, who was saying goodbye with tears, felt relieved for a while.

The big devil has finally left!
The humiliation he suffered today can almost be said to be second only to the time in his life when he escaped from the great route. However, Gage didn't have many thoughts of hatred and revenge in his heart.

The reason why the team that conducted illegal research back then, like Vegapunk and Caesar Courant, were all arrested into the scientific army, but he was able to escape back to Beihai Zirun to live a small life, was not because he knew the importance of Congxin.

Even the first thing I did when I escaped back was to express my opinion to the government father, even if I don’t have the land, it can’t stop my determination to become a member country and contribute to the government!
Therefore, when Longinus left an indelible and terrible impression on his heart, his first reaction was not revenge but flattery.

"Bancroft."

"Your Majesty, here is my minister."

"Tell me, can Iji and the others grow up to the level of Colonel Longinus?"

"This..." the clerk wearing glasses said cautiously, "The several princes have extraordinary talents, coupled with the superhuman strength endowed by the blood factor, it may be possible to grow into that terrifying strong whoever!"

"Tell me the truth, how much is that possible?"

"One thousandth? Two thousandths?" Bancroft cautiously probed while observing Gage's face, "Maybe five thousandths?"

Gage surprisingly didn't have much anger, and just sighed, "Colonel Longinus looks very young. An ordinary person can achieve that kind of achievement. Could it be that the power given by the blood factor is not as good as the potential of human beings?" ?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to train His Highness Sanji?"

"Hmph! It's not like you don't know how low the probability of a genius appearing among ordinary people is. With his performance, he doesn't match up with a genius at all. My idea is to extend his assessment time a little bit and see if it works. Give me some surprises!"

"I have noticed that Colonel Longinus' eyes seem to stay on His Royal Highness Sanji and His Royal Highness Reiju for a little longer. Maybe the Colonel is very optimistic about the potential of these two His Royal Highnesses!"

"Forget Sanji, clumsiness is annoying, but my precious daughter may really have amazing potential."

"Forget it, let's talk about this kind of thing later, now, hurry up and buy me two devil fruits on the black market."

"Your Majesty, are you going to start researching now?" The man with glasses looked confused, had he turned his head and started licking it after suffering such a great humiliation?
"This is something Colonel Longinus specially explained. Don't pay attention. Do you want to recall the fear you experienced today?"

……

Three months later.

White Kingdom, Frevans.

The ground and trees of this country are as white and flawless as the ice and snow kingdom in fairy tales, as beautiful as a fairyland on earth, and every family in the kingdom is very rich.

This kingdom can almost be said to be a tourist attraction that everyone yearns for in the whole of Beihai, and countless people come here every year.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Walking on the silver street, Gion sighed softly, then looked aside and asked, "Is this the headquarters of the Don Quixote family?"

Longinus nodded slightly, "Although the senior cadres have followed Doflamingo to the great route, no one dares to underestimate them with the power he left behind."

"On the contrary, this country may be destroyed in two or three years!"

"Destruction?" Gion's eyes widened. "Is the Don Quixote family planning to seize this country by force?"

"Observing carefully, we can find that most of the people walking in the streets and alleys are tourists from other places like us. There are actually very few people who really belong to this kingdom, and among them, there are young people who are fully wrapped up mostly."

"Strange, it seems true when you say that." Gion rested his fingers on his chin, his expression seemed a little puzzled.

"Because, under their tight clothes, there is pale skin, like white plaques that are constantly eroding their bodies."

Longinus went on to say, "Not to mention other people, even people in this country are afraid of their own bodies."

"Moreover, the erosion process is accompanied by uncontrollable pain that will not stop until death."

"What the hell happened in this kingdom?" Gion's voice was low, and the relaxed mood that he had previously thought of as a date was completely gone.

"It's platinum lead, the platinum lead that brings wealth to this kingdom." Longinus said in a deep voice, "I've been paying attention to this country for a while."

"After some investigations, I finally came to such a terrible conclusion, that is, in the process of continuous mining of platinum and lead, the composition of lead will remain in the body of the miners, and continue from generation to generation."

"When the platinum-lead disease broke out, the average life expectancy in this kingdom was only 20 years old, so it's hard to see people who are slightly older."

Hearing what Longinus said, Gion felt shuddering, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it wrong that the royal family and the government haven't found out for so long?"

"No, they already knew about this 100 years ago, but for the benefit of mining platinum and lead, they concealed all this again!"

"The government and the royal family actually..." Gion took a deep breath and couldn't believe his ears.

"When the government and the royal family cannot represent justice, what position should our navy take?" Longinus asked, looking straight into Gion's eyes.
