The instant his words fell, the snowy ground fell deathly silent.
Although Lao G and the others had not experienced the incident two years ago, they had more or less guessed from Diamante and the others' evasiveness just what kind of torment their Young Master had suffered back then.
And that man's strength had spread across the seas after Big Mom's defeat.
He stood at the pinnacle that even a powerful organization like the Donquixote Family could only look up to in awe.
In short, he was a big shot that even the entire Donquixote Family absolutely could not stand against.
At that moment, Barrels, pinned to the ground, was also deeply shaken.
Although he had learned from scattered reports that the young marine from seven years ago had gradually grown into a pillar of the Marines, it was only when he saw the mighty Donquixote Family fall silent at the mere mention of one name that he truly understood what the name Longinus represented.
With Vice Admiral Longinus guiding him, Doli... Barrels thought, half comforted and half silent. Drake will definitely be able to achieve the dream I had as a child!
But how could the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi have such a clear grasp of Vice Admiral Longinus's movements? Could he be a spy the Donquixote Family planted in the Marines?
"Doffy, are you still listening?" Vergo asked in confusion from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. He did not know much about what had happened two years ago and assumed that Doflamingo thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
So he reminded him in a heavier tone, "Doffy, don't assume those rumors from outside exaggerated him. In my opinion, those reports have actually underestimated his strength."
