Longinus knew very well that playing two identities alone was not a long-term solution. To solve this problem, the best way to use the power of the devil fruit.

Of course, he himself will not eat the devil fruit. Once his ability is exposed, it will easily attract suspicion. However, the devil fruit items are different. As long as he is careful to keep it, who can know how much equipment he is hiding?

However, the source of this devil fruit item cannot be Bergaponk.

Although, after Baiga Punk developed the technology for the devil fruit item, as he was at that time, he could probably take the initiative to request a custom piece of equipment, doing so would undoubtedly completely expose his ambitions.

Excluding Bergaponk, there are still people in this world who may develop the devil fruit item technology, namely Vincemok Gazhi and M. Caesar Kulang, who also involve research on bloodline factors, have this possibility.

Caesar is now a member of the scientific unit of the Navy headquarters and is naturally excluded. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gazhi will be targeted by Longineus.

"It's a pity that developing the technology of demon fruit objects is not a matter of overnight. Before Gazhi completes his research, I can only let Apophis appear in front of the world as little as possible!" Standing on the warship on the return journey, facing the sea breeze, Longinus thought to himself.

On the giant ship of the Kingdom of Germa, watching Longinus leave, Gazhi, who was saying goodbye in tears, felt relieved in his heart.

The big devil finally left!

The humiliation suffered today can almost be said to be the second only in his life to escape from the great route, but Gazhi did not have much hatred and revenge in his heart.

Why did the teams that conducted illegal research, such as Baikal and Caesar Kulang, were arrested into the scientific army, but he was able to escape back to the North Sea to live a comfortable life? It was not because he knew the importance of following the heart.

The first thing I even did when I escaped was to express my opinion to the government father that even if I had no land, it would not stop me from becoming a franchise and contributing to the government!

Therefore, when Longinus left an indelible and terrible impression in his heart, his first reaction was not to revenge but to please.

"Bancroft."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"You said, can Ichi and the others grow to the level of Colonel Longineus?"

"This..." said the civilian staff wearing glasses carefully, "These princes all have extraordinary talents, and coupled with the superhuman power given by the bloodline factor, they may be able to grow into that kind of terrifying powerful man!"

"Tell me the truth, what is that possible?"

"One thousandth? Two thousandth?" Bancroft carefully tentatively while observing Gazhi's face, "Maybe it can be five thousandth?"

Gazhi was surprisingly not much anger, but sighed, "Col. Langhinus looks very young. An ordinary person can achieve that kind of achievement. Is the power given by the bloodline factor not as good as the potential of human beings?"

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

"Hmph! You don't know how low the probability of geniuses appearing in ordinary people. With his performance, he has nothing to do with geniuses. My idea is to extend his assessment time slightly to see if he can give me some surprises!"

"I have noticed that Colonel Longinus's eyes seemed to be staying on His Highness Sanji and His Highness Reju. Maybe the Colonel is very optimistic about the potential of these two highnesses!"

"Forget it, Sanji is upset. It's because my baby daughter may really have amazing potential."

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. Now, hurry up and buy two devil fruits on the black market."

"Your Majesty, are you going to start researching now?" The man in glasses looked confused. After being humiliated, he turned around and started licking it?

"This is something that Colonel Longines specifically told me. I don't care. 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 pure 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 destination that everyone yearns for in the Beihai, and countless people come to visit each year.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Gion sighed quietly while walking on the silver street, then looked to the side and asked, "Is this the base camp 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 stayed."

"This country may be destroyed in two or three years!"

"Destruction?" Gion widened his eyes, "Is it the Don Quixote family ready to seize this country by force?"

"A closer look reveals that most of the people walking in the streets and alleys are tourists like us from other places. There are actually very few people who truly belong to this kingdom, and most of them are young people who are wrapped tightly in their bodies."

"Strange, it seems that it's true when you say this." Gion pressed his finger against his chin, and his expression seemed to be a little confused.

"Because, under their tight clothes, they were covered with pale skin, like white patches constantly eroding the whole body."

Longineus continued, “Not to mention other people, even people in this country are fearing their own bodies.”

"And, the erosion is accompanied by irrepressible severe pain that will not stop until death."

"What exactly happened in this kingdom?" Gion's voice was low, and the relaxed mood that had previously been regarded as a date was gone.

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

"After some investigation, we finally came to a terrible conclusion that during the continuous mining of platinum lead, the components of lead will remain in the body of the mined person and continue from generation to generation."

"When platinum lead disease completely broke out, the general life span of this kingdom was only 10 or 20 years old, so it's hard to see older people."

Hearing what Langhinus said, Gion felt chill and blurted out and asked, "Has the royal family and government not noticed that it was wrong for so long?"

"No, they knew about this a hundred years ago, but in order to mine platinum lead, they concealed all this again!"

"The government and the royal family actually..." Gion took a deep breath, almost unable to believe his ears.
