Chapter 175 I Want to Report Nightmare by Real Name
"Uncle Goodman, this is the phone number of Lieutenant Colonel T. Peng En. If you encounter any difficult pirates, just contact him." Zhang Da also handed a small note to Goodman.
Calling this person directly is definitely faster than calling the naval base normally, just like in the Conan fan fiction, when calling the police, one always calls Inspector Megure directly.
Goodman patted Zhang Daye on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've been working here for decades and have experienced everything. But you have to be careful on your first voyage. The weather in the Grand Line is no joke, and there will be more vicious pirates."
"We are very strong. We know two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea alone. If there is anyone you don't like but can't teach him a lesson yourself, just give me a call and I will rush back to help you solve the problem." Zhang Da was still a little worried about Goodman and his family.
When he was dealing with those people in the illegal area before, he was so careful to hide his identity because he was worried about implicating them. This family is the few people he cares about the most in this world.
As for being a bounty hunter and catching pirates, you don't have to worry about it. Those pirates are basically alone, or they have abandoned their wives and children like Jesus Bu. Even if you kill them, no one will come to take revenge.
After that, Mrs. Molly came to give a lot of advice, telling her to take care of herself, eat on time, be careful of catching a cold, and to come back here to rest if she was tired of playing at sea. As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes.
Little Baier was still full of energy and shouted that he wanted to surpass his father and become the best boatman. He also wanted Zhang Da to come back and tell him adventure stories.
Finally, Zhang Da also boarded the ship, weighed anchor and set sail
The boatmen on the shore shouted all kinds of farewell words and blessings. Even if they had no friendship of eating melons together, they sincerely admired everyone who dared to face the sea and sincerely hoped that every ship could return safely.
The romance of being a shipbuilder is to repair every ship that returns to the port, and then feel the adventures that the ship has experienced in every scar. It is a more tangible sense of reality than listening to someone tell a story or reading a ship's log by yourself.
Some people admired the departure of everyone in the tavern, such as those who wanted to go to sea but did not dare to due to various concerns; some people were reluctant to see them go, such as the Goodman family and Tom's drinking buddies; and some people were secretly happy, such as some people who had been punished, and such as... a certain naval lieutenant commander.
Kuro originally thought that he could live peacefully in Shampoo for many years, but he didn't expect that being in charge of bounty exchange would bring him many contributions, big and small.
Especially after that man appeared, especially in the past two months, and now, he is finally gone!
Major Craw happily lit a cigar, which was given to him by Zhang Da. As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as a current manager, and a few cigars cannot be considered a bribe, so he accepted it with a smile, just as compensation for mental damage.
Not only does this cigar taste good, but it also comes with the function of blowing fancy smoke rings. Kuro put his legs on the table and his mood gradually became cheerful.
"Major Craw! Good news, you have been promoted and the letter of commission has arrived!" Craw's assistant ran in excitedly.
Plop! Kuro lay on the ground, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. The cigar in his hand no longer smelled good. He touched the back of his head which was a little painful. Could this be what Tatsuya meant by smoking being harmful to health?
As they are all navy soldiers, they all have their own troubles. Major General Kadaru is also very annoyed, or rather angry.
Because he received an order to cooperate with the investigation of the Employment Security Office. The order was apparently sent from the headquarters, but he understood that his direct superior was too lazy to issue such an order. This must be the requirement of the World Government.
It didn't take long for the news of the explosion at the Employment Security Center to spread throughout Shampoo Land. The top leaders of the World Government naturally knew about it, and then they also learned about the so-called "Nightmare" action.
If only a few human traffickers died and a few slaves were lost, they would not mobilize a large force, because that is a very normal thing.
But they had to investigate such a targeted action because they were worried about the emergence of a second Fisher Tiger.
Since the order had been given, no matter how dissatisfied Major General Kadaru was, he could only take a few men in black suits to investigate the scene. Fortunately, the results of the investigation made him feel relieved.
When the man in the black suit reported the results of his investigation via Den Den Mushi, an incredulous voice came from the other end: "Gas explosion?"
The man in the black suit said, "Yes, that's what happened at the scene. And there were several slaves killed in the explosion. It doesn't look like this was an operation to save the slaves."
"And what about that 'Nightmare'?"
“There is no clue for now.”
Of course there are no clues. Apart from Zhang Daye and his people, there are only two kinds of people who have seen Nightmare alive with their own eyes. One is a freed slave, and the other is Silverbaz Reilly.
All they can do now is try to trace the whereabouts of the former slaves, but after so much time has passed, there is probably no hope.
…
13GR, Xia Qi’s extortion bar.
"That tavern you always pay attention to seems to have finally gone out to sea." Bar owner Xia Qi supported the table with one arm and held a cigarette in the other hand.
Time seems to have left no mark on her. Although she is in her fifties, she doesn't look old at all.
"Really?" Rayleigh leaned back comfortably on the sofa. "They were probably responsible for what happened yesterday, right?"
Xia Qi was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, and they both looked towards the door of the bar at the same time.
The next second, the door of the bar was knocked open, and a young woman dressed as a dancer fell to the ground and cried, "Save me!"
Then, two vicious men rushed in and held her down: "Asshole, how dare you run away while we are looking for a buyer!"
"Please, save me! I don't want to be sold again!" the dancer struggled and begged.
As if they noticed the presence of Rayleigh and Xia Qi, they drew their knives and warned fiercely: "Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Rayleigh frowned, and the two men fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.
"Oh, people are warning you not to meddle in other people's business." Xia Qi joked.
"Haha, I just can't stand seeing young and beautiful girls being bullied." Reilly said with a smile, but it seemed that he could easily step on the landmine.
But Xia Qi was not angry. Instead, she smiled as if she remembered something from the past.
The dancer was freed from her restraints and hurriedly stood up to express her gratitude. Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew that the Radiant had not lied.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Xia Qi skillfully threw the two fainted people out and took out all the Baileys from them.
The dancer stuttered as she told the story of being rescued yesterday. After leaving the human auction house, she had originally planned to go to the port with someone else, but she didn't expect that because of her outstanding appearance and figure, she was targeted again. During the escape, she got separated from her companions and was caught.
However, the embarrassing thing was that they couldn't find a buyer after asking around all night, and the dancer escaped while they were tired and sleepy.
Xia Qi was surprised and asked, "Is there anyone who dares to do this?"
Didn’t they say that the human traffickers on the island were scared out of their wits? Are these people so bold?
Rayleigh guessed, "Maybe he's a newbie, or he just came back from overseas, and he hasn't heard about the slave shop being cleared out yet."
Xia Qi nodded, it was possible: "Then why did you escape here?"
"Because, because my benefactor said that if we escape here, we will have a 50% chance of survival."
Rayleigh: “…”
I, Pluto Rayleigh, want to report 'Nightmare' by real name!
