After returning to Marine Headquarters, Longinus discussed the Masked Men and the Revolutionary Army with Sengoku and Borsalino. His carefully framed theory led Sengoku to suspect that a hidden force called “Mask” was operating behind Dragon, and Sengoku left to report the lead to the Five Elders.

• Longinus met Borsalino outside the hospital, where Sengoku told them Kuzan would need six months of bed rest after his injuries.
• Sengoku asked Longinus and Borsalino whether the Crimson Swordsman and the other Masked Man were connected to Dragon and the Revolutionary Army.
• Borsalino speculated that Dragon might have ordered the attack on Kuzan, while Longinus argued that Dragon likely did not control the Masked Men.
• Longinus claimed the Masked Man was the hidden force behind the incident and wanted to spread revolutionary ideals by tearing away the world's mask.
• Sengoku accepted the possibility of a separate “Mask” force and said he would investigate it and report to the Five Elders.
• Sengoku assigned Longinus to handle G2 Branch's affairs while Borsalino was stationed in Sabaody.

Longinus took charge of G2 Branch and proposed shifting some of its military costs onto the royal families in the regions it protected. He planned to use the branch as a test of the World Government’s limits on Marine financial independence, while waiting for someone to appear.

• Longinus returned to G2 Branch and led a meeting where its officers described shortages of funding and manpower.
• Longinus explained that bounty payments and death benefits consumed much of the branch’s budget, leaving too little for troops and equipment.
• Longinus urged officers to build relations with local royal families and persuade them to cover part of the Marines’ expenses.
• When officers worried the plan would burden the people and violate rules, Longinus argued that unwilling rulers could be treated as enemies of Justice.
• Longinus privately considered G2 Branch a small-scale test of financial freedom from the World Government and wondered when the person he was waiting for would appear.

Longinus arranged new military funding by claiming a share of untraceable pirate assets and proposed recruiting from nearby kingdoms. A wounded CP9 team arrived at his base seeking help for Rob Lucci, and Longinus recognized Blueno’s Door-Door Fruit as he inspected them.

• Longinus told the officers that the Marines would seize thirty percent of untraceable pirate assets for military funds and said he would take responsibility if powerful people objected.
• Longinus proposed recruiting troops from nearby kingdoms, but a lieutenant colonel interrupted the meeting to report wounded government agents seeking help.
• Longinus explained that CP9 was a secret government agency and ended the meeting so the officers could inspect the agents.
• At the harbor, Jabra, Blueno, Fukurou, and Kumadori argued about Longinus and their injuries while Blueno warned that Rob Lucci needed treatment.
• Longinus arrived, focused on Blueno, and praised the Door-Door Fruit.

Longinus learned that a battle in the Ice Cream Kingdom had left Rob Lucci gravely wounded and revealed Bartholomew Kuma’s terrifying strength. As the Navy arranged medical help, Longinus turned his attention to obtaining the Door-Door Fruit.

• Kumadori alerted Longinus that Lucci was badly injured, and Longinus ordered Commodore Kage to bring the base doctors.
• Blueno explained that CP9’s covert operation to capture suspected Revolutionary Army members had become a four-sided battle after Fukurou exposed their presence.
• Blueno said Lucci had taken a powerful blow from a monster and escaped only because Blueno used his Devil Fruit ability to get the survivors away.
• Blueno identified the monster as Ice Cream Kingdom King Bartholomew Kuma, who had crushed thousands of pirates with one palm.
• Longinus considered Kuma’s possible ties to the Revolutionary Army and focused on how to get the Door-Door Fruit.

Longinus visited the injured CP9 agents and offered to help with their mission, while considering how to obtain Blueno’s Door-Door Fruit. He left Lucci recovering and training, Jabra trapped by his own boasting, and Fukurou asking for Marine assistance.

• Longinus considered whether to take Blueno’s Door-Door Fruit himself or have Apophis kill him and wait for Devil Fruit Item Technology.
• Lucci resumed training despite his wounds, and Jabra admitted that Lucci was stronger than him.

• Longinus asked Lucci whether CP9 needed help, and Fukurou eagerly said that Lucci and Jabra could not defeat their target without assistance.

Longinus heard Fukurou explain the mission in the Ice Cream Kingdom, then challenged Jabra to a fight at the training ground. Jabra imagined himself becoming the King of Cipher Pol, but Longinus overwhelmed him with ease.

• Longinus stopped Lucci from objecting and let Fukurou explain that the mission was to recover Revolutionary Army contact codes and communication lists from the dead.
• Longinus told the group to depart once Lucci had recovered, then summoned Jabra to the training ground.

• Longinus claimed his Doriki was 10,000, and Jabra charged at him after insisting that fighting spirit could overcome the gap.
• Longinus dismissed Jabra's speed as too slow for Shave and struck him flying, while Jabra convinced himself the defeat was only the start of his comeback.

Longinus accompanied CP9 to Ice Cream Island while secretly marking them so he could track them later, intending to let Apophis obtain the Door-Door Fruit. At the mass grave, Jabra proposed capturing Kuma’s valued child to control him, but Kuma appeared and prepared a devastating attack as Longinus seemed lost in thought.

• Longinus overpowered Jabra in training, secretly placed a Judgment Mark on him, and decided to let Apophis take the Door-Door Fruit while planning to ambush CP9 after their mission.
• A week later, Longinus and CP9 searched a mass grave on Ice Cream Island but found no trace of the Revolutionary Army branch commander.
• Jabra suggested capturing a child Kuma valued to force the Paw Fruit User to obey them.
• Kuma appeared at the grave and raised a powerful paw-shaped mass of air, while Blueno found that he could not open a door through the disrupted air currents.
• Kumadori turned to Longinus for help and saw him standing beneath a tree with his head lowered, apparently distracted.

Kuma confronted Longinus and the CP9 agents, then attacked Jabra over the damage CP9 had caused and their plan to kidnap Bonney. Longinus protected the agents and stayed behind to fight Kuma while the others fled.

• Kuma's Observation Haki detected the CP9 agents, but he could not sense Longinus as Kuma unleashed an Air Cannon that Longinus kicked away, leaving a vast crater in the forest.
• Kuma recognized Longinus and explained that he had let the Revolutionary Army branch commander and his surviving subordinates escape after they endured three Paw Pad Impacts.

• Kuma recognized the strength of Longinus's technique but refused to end the battle.

Longinus defeated Kuma after allowing him to use Yin Healing Bullet, a technique that expelled wounds and fatigue. He then revealed that he had engineered the fight to obtain the technique for himself as a way to break through his strength bottleneck.

• Kuma attacked Longinus with paw-shaped Air Cannons, but Longinus used his Observation Haki and speed to close in and strike him.
• Kuma abandoned Spatial Transfer and traded blows with Longinus, enduring repeated injuries as he prepared his move.
• Kuma used Yin Healing Bullet to expel his wounds and fatigue, but Longinus knocked him unconscious before he could react.
• Longinus collected the blood-red healing bubble and revealed that he had let Kuma perform Yin Healing Bullet because he wanted to use its power to stimulate his own potential.

Longinus endured Kuma’s accumulated pain to push his Observation Haki’s range, while Minos guarded him. A pink-haired girl found Kuma unconscious and began sneaking toward him, unaware that Minos had spotted her.

• Longinus restrained the unconscious Kuma with Seastone handcuffs and ordered Minos to guard him and keep everyone away.
• Longinus entered the red bubble and endured the pain and exhaustion Kuma had suffered during their battle, forcing his Observation Haki to expand.
• Longinus sensed Kuma, Minos, and the fleeing CP9 agents, then dismissed an approaching presence as insignificant.
• A pink-haired girl reached the crater, saw Kuma unconscious, and decided to sneak down and rescue him.
• Minos spotted the girl as she climbed into the crater and wondered whether she was approaching to become a meal.

Bonney risked repeated blasts from Minos to rescue Kuma from the crater, then learned that Seastone handcuffs left him powerless. Kuma warned her that Longinus held the key and was far stronger than he was.

• Bonney crawled toward Minos, which repeatedly blasted her away to keep her from approaching Longinus.
• Bonney realized Minos was protecting Longinus and used Kuma's position to get them both caught in the gale, then dragged Kuma out of the crater.
• Longinus noticed Kuma moving away but remained puzzled because he still had the key to Kuma's Seastone handcuffs.
• Bonney woke Kuma, who recognized her and found himself still bound by Seastone handcuffs.
• Kuma stopped Bonney from trying to smash the cuffs and warned her not to steal the key from Longinus, then asked how she had rescued him.

Longinus freed Kuma and Bonney, then considered using Bonney to gain Kuma’s and the Revolutionary Army’s trust. Two days later, CP9 discovered Blueno’s Vivre Card had burned away, signaling his death.

• Longinus gave Kuma the keys to his Seastone handcuffs and said he would not interfere with the government’s investigation into the king’s actions.

• Longinus warned that a demon would destroy Angel Island, Cloud Hidden Village, and Upper Yard in fifteen years, and said he would lead them out of their vengeance.

Longinus urged the Skandians and Angel Island to cease fighting, claiming their hatred would destroy Sky Island, and promised the Skandia Chief one wish. He retrieved the Golden Bell and brought it to the Sanctuary, where the Chief rang the Lamp of Shandora, signaling the end of the war and renewing a four-hundred-year-old promise.

• Longinus carried the Golden Bell Tower back to the Sanctuary, where the Skandia Chief recognized it as the Lamp of Shandora.
• The Skandia Chief struck the bell, and its sound rang across Sky Island and beyond.

After the Golden Bell rang, Longinus ended the four-hundred-year war between Skandia and Angel Island and established himself as Sky Island’s Divine Envoy. He warned the Skandia Chief and Gan Fall of a world-ending upheaval due in fifteen to twenty years, but left them uncertain about Sky Island’s fate.

• A man near Jaya Island heard the Golden Bell and realized Noland’s Golden City had risen into the sky.
• Wyper heard the bell that Calgara had longed for and hoped it would reach Noland’s descendants.

• Longinus predicted a world-wide disaster in fifteen to twenty years and showed them a vision of Thunder Arrival threatening Sky Island.
• The vision cut off before revealing Sky Island’s fate, and Longinus said the future had changed since he arrived.

Longinus convinced Gan Fall and the Skandia Chief to search for Devil Fruits and bring Bika under their attention as the supposed source of Sky Island’s future disaster. In Bika, a wingless young man who had been abused by the locals witnessed the arrival of Longinus’s forces and saw that Longinus had no wings either.

• Longinus told Gan Fall and the Skandia Chief that they could not stop the coming disaster and ordered them to find Devil Fruits for him to identify.
• Longinus directed their search toward Bika and urged them to bring its people freedom and equality rather than wage war.
• In Bika, children stoned a wingless young man and mocked him as a monster abandoned by God.
• When enemies arrived, the young man followed the frightened crowd to Bika’s edge, hoping to see what lay beyond his home.
• Longinus and his powerful forces arrived aboard ships, with Longinus standing atop a giant flying beast.
• The young man noticed that Longinus had no wings and wondered whether he was not alone in being abandoned by God.
