Karp felt embarrassed discussing the matter any further, so he quickly moved on. "You've heard about Sengoku, right?"
Longinus slowed his pace as he carried the supplies. "Are you referring to Fleet Admiral Sengoku going to see Commander-in-Chief Kong?"
"He's tired too!" Karp nodded, a rare look of wistfulness crossing his face. "Although I don't agree with some of the things he's done, from the standpoint of a Fleet Admiral, he's actually done more than enough!"
Longinus looked at Karp in surprise. What happened to him?
"If Fleet Admiral Sengoku knew you had such a high opinion of him, Vice Admiral Karp, he'd surely be very happy."
"Haha! That guy Sengoku has too many thoughts in his head. If he heard me say this, he'd definitely think I was taking a roundabout way of insulting him!"
Longinus couldn't help laughing. That really did sound like something Sengoku would think.
After laughing for a while, Karp asked solemnly, "What about you? Are you ready to become Fleet Admiral?"
Longinus shook his head slightly. "Become Fleet Admiral? I won't deny that I do have such an ambition. Only by becoming Fleet Admiral can I spread my ideals more effectively. However, becoming Fleet Admiral won't be easy!"
"You're quite frank." Karp laughed. "Still, you're the only one with any real chance of becoming Fleet Admiral! You know what Borsalino is like. Making him Fleet Admiral would probably be more painful for him than killing him. As for Kuzan, his lazy nature doesn't suit the position either."
"Isn't there also Admiral Akainu?" Longinus asked with a smile.
"Sakazuki is certainly someone who refuses to admit defeat. But Sengoku and the Five Elders are both on your side. Even if Sakazuki wants to compete, he can't beat you!" Karp said bluntly.
In fact, that was
