Navy’s Dark Admiral

The progress of the matter was much better than Longinus expected. With the help of this incident, his reputation in the headquarters has already surpassed the three of Sakaski.

Even, in the eyes of the uninformed outsiders, he is a supernova who is more powerful than the three major monster lieutenant generals.

When this happens, it doesn't mean that Sakaski and the others haven't caught any big pirates.

The reason for this is that their deeds are far less legendary than Longinus.

In order to catch the pirates who escaped from his hands, he worked hard for two years, and then rose up once, broke into the enemy camp alone, and finally killed the thief leader Waldo at the cost of the destruction of an island and the death of nearly ten thousand pirates.

This kind of experience is undoubtedly more in line with the people's fantasy of heroes, especially when Waldo was still a big pirate who once fought against Roger Whitebeard and others, this kind of experience is even more epic and legendary.

This kind of ups and downs of the epic legend, only someone will go to extol it.

...

Although things were going well, Longinus's heart was not overjoyed, and he still responded to everyone's greetings with humility and gentleness as usual.

"Colonel Longinus is so gentle, just like Lieutenant General Garp, he has no airs over everyone!"

"Or how to say it is the inheritance of heroes! However, your name will probably have to be changed soon."

"I know, next time I see you, I should call you Brigadier General Longinus or Major General Longinus!"

"If it were someone else, I would definitely not be convinced that he could be promoted to the rank of general at such a young age, but if Colonel Longinus said it, I wouldn't have any objections even if he went directly to the rank of lieutenant general."

"That is, from the moment Colonel Longinus dared to kill a king for some ordinary people, I have been a loyal colonel all my life!"

Longinus walked towards the marshal's office calmly, as if the whispers of adoration or admiration behind him couldn't even disturb his pace.

In the marshal's office, the familiar Big Three sat in it.

The Marshal Gang Gu Kong who is responsible for embodying the sense of presence, the wise general Zhan Guo who is responsible for controlling the overall situation, and Karp, the melon-eater who is responsible for "being watched".

"Longinus,

You sit down first. "

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, you have been in the headquarters for three years." Kong praised, "I didn't expect that you gave me such a big surprise before graduation. Your action to kill Waldo this time has made this area The chaotic sea has been cleaned up a lot.”

"I'm just making up for the mistakes I made before, and there is nothing worthy of praise."

"It's not a good thing to be too humble. In this regard, you should really learn from Garp."

"Haha! That is, the old man has always been..." Garp was talking, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Marshal Kong's words, could it be that he is thick-skinned?

"However, you also gave me a big problem."

Kong sighed and said, "Based on your merits, I originally planned to promote you to brigadier general after you graduated, but you made this happen, I feel that I am unfair to reward and punish you if I don't give you the rank of major general."

"But, a seventeen-year-old major general..." Kong shook his head, not knowing what words to use to describe it.

The earliest promotion record in the navy was set by Kuzan, a 21-year-old brigadier general, a 24-year-old major general, and a 27-year-old lieutenant general. This record is actually shocking enough.

You know, the navy that Sakaski joined at the age of 23, and the navy that Polusalino joined at the age of 26, although their promotion speeds may be similar, the shock they give people is completely different.

And the words of Longinus, a seventeen-year-old major general, can only be described as outrageous!

"Marshal Kong, in fact, this is also the main thing I plan to say today." Longinus smiled, "Please don't promote me because of Valdo's affairs. If possible, I hope to rely on my real achievements Promote step by step."

"Are you going to refuse to be promoted to major general?" Kong glanced at Karp while being slightly surprised. One of the two refused to be promoted to major general, and the other refused to be promoted to general. Could this rank be poisonous?

Karp nodded complacently, this kid can finally comprehend the charm of his stalwart personality!

"Yes, please!"

Naturally, Longinus did not choose to refuse because of the reason he gave, but he considered it from a deeper level of interests.

In terms of pure strength, let alone major generals, most lieutenant generals are not necessarily as strong as him.

But the navy is different from pirates, and the level of seniority is a consideration that can never be ignored.

Don't look at the many people who say that they are very convinced of him becoming a major general, but there will always be a thorn in their hearts. Once the seeds of jealousy and resentment are planted, it is not so easy to take them out.

Although this kind of thing is harmless, for Longinus, who pursues perfection, he doesn't want to have a stain on his resume.

Moreover, humans are inherently strange creatures.

If he is promoted to major general, many people may be dissatisfied and resentful, but if he is promoted to brigadier general, the same group of people may feel that there is a shady scene and turn around to fight for him.

In a sense, a seventeen-year-old brigadier general is a bit shocking, but in this comparison, most people may think that he is too wronged to become a brigadier general at the age of seventeen!

Many people would imagine him as a tragic hero.

What's more, with his strength and achievements, even if he is just fooling around like Huang Yuan, he can be re-promoted to major general within a year or two.

Therefore, there is really no need for him to affect his reputation within the navy for a year or two.

Clearly, Sora was one of those people just mentioned.

He felt that it was too much to be promoted to major general, but when he heard that Longinus refused to be promoted, he felt that the brigadier general was too unfair to Longinus.

"Headache! Why can't there be a quasi-major general?"

"Marshal Kong, in fact, you don't have to be too embarrassed. This is my own choice. If catching pirates is only for promotion of military rank, it will lose its true meaning."

Longinus said without blushing, "What's more, being able to become a brigadier general at the age of seventeen is already the greatest recognition from the headquarters!"

"Hey!" The honest man let out a long sigh, "Well, I just wronged you!"

After thinking about it, Kong decided to add, "In a year or two at most, I will raise your rank to major general."

This time, Longinus would naturally not refuse, "Thank you Marshal Kong, I will definitely work hard to make myself worthy of this status."

"Haha! If it wasn't for worrying about other people's dissatisfaction, I would have promoted you directly to lieutenant general. At least, you are much more reliable than some guy who is just waiting to die!"

Garp looked confused "(oДo*), he didn't say much today, how could he blame him (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻?
