"Take this Explosive Fist!"
"After all these years, I haven't neglected my swordsmanship!"
The pirates had indeed grown much stronger after entering a life-or-death state. Their various attacks converged together, actually forcing Longinus back.
Even his demonic body had developed fine wounds that seeped blood, making him look as if he had been dyed red with it.
"Ahaha, look! This guy can get hurt too!"
"People die when they're killed. Maybe we can take down a Marine Admiral today!"
The pirates cheered wildly, their eyes turning scarlet as the blood in their veins began to boil.
"Not good! Marine Admiral Longinus is in danger!"
"Protect Marine Admiral Longinus! Even if we have to sacrifice our lives to stall them, we must stop their attacks!"
The jailers forcibly suppressed their fear and roared to encourage themselves before charging forward.

On the other side, Longinus said with a smile, "Don't charge over. If you all die, who'll carry these pirates' corpses away later?"
As he spoke, Longinus looked at the pirates. "You want to take me down? Have you misunderstood the meaning of the words 'Marine Admiral'?"
"Don't look down on the Marines, you scum!" An incredibly powerful aura erupted from Longinus. For a moment, the pirates' overwhelming assault was suppressed once more.
"Waaah—Marine Admiral Longinus!" the jailers cried out with tears streaming down their faces. In their eyes, this was a sign that Longinus was fighting with everything
