Chapter 168: Longinus VS World (25)
"A Marine actually dared to appear before me alone. Should I call you ignorant or fearless, Longinus?" Though World had been unwilling to face him before, the moment Longinus came looking for him, the fury in his heart still erupted uncontrollably.
What did this bastard take him for? Some worthless trash he could kill at will?
The surrounding pirates drew their weapons one after another and laughed wildly. It was not as if they knew nothing of Longinus's strength, but even if they did, faced with such a lavish lineup, they would not have felt much fear.
"Letting you escape from my hands two years ago was my failure." Longinus undid his buttons, revealing the Coat of Justice draped over him. "This time, I won't give you another chance to run."
"Hahaha! Did I hear that right? This brat actually said he'll defeat Lord World!"
"What a joke! We have tens of thousands of men here. If you want to challenge our king, get past us first before spouting such nonsense, bastard!"
"Enough! He challenged me. If you stop him, he probably won't be willing to die!" World was not being arrogant. He merely recalled how, two years ago, this Marine named Longinus had slaughtered thousands of pirates alone and still remained full of vigor.
Against a monster with nearly limitless stamina, trying to wear him down through repeated battles was simply futile. If the fight dragged on and the other troublesome group on the island spotted an opportunity to join in, the outcome would truly become impossible to predict.
In fact, if he had not been worried about being looked down on, he would even have planned to let the Charlotte Family's strongest fighters join him in besieging Longinus from the very beginning.
