Chapter 51 I am a Marine
"For me, whether I'm a major general or a private, it doesn't matter what position I hold. As long as I can protect justice, it's fine! But..."
Kadalu drank the remaining half bottle of wine in one breath. The wine wet his beard from the corners of his mouth and flowed into his collar. His voice became more and more sad.
"The fishman that General Borsalino captured some time ago is actually going to be released... The vicious fishman who participated in the murder of dozens of my subordinates is actually going to be released!"
Zhang Da also knew that he was talking about A Long. Releasing A Long meant that Jinbei was about to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
In exchange, all the fishmen of the former Sun Pirates will be forgiven of their crimes and have the chance to become civilians again. However, this is too cruel for the civilians and navy soldiers who have been harmed by them.
He didn't know how to comfort the major general, so he could only listen quietly.
"Originally, I hated pirates the most, but now I have to add human traffickers to the list! Without human traffickers, there wouldn't be so many slaves! My subordinates wouldn't die in battle for such a ridiculous reason as 'taking back slaves'! And that group of fishmen, I will never forgive them no matter what!"
Kadalu put the empty bottle heavily on the table and spoke incoherently:
"I killed ten human traffickers today. Ten of them! Those guys were only arrested half a month ago, and seven of them without a bounty are being released... I can't accept this result. Even if it violates the rules, I am worthy of justice in my heart!"
Ten human traffickers were arrested half a month ago, and seven of them did not receive a reward...
It should be that group of people. Zhang Da suddenly felt a little sorry for the major general, because a navy man with a sense of justice was willing to do something that he did not do even if it violated the rules.
It seemed that he had drunk enough and talked enough, Kadaru stood up shakily, took out a few bills and handed them to Zhang Daye.
Zhang Da also stretched out his hand to push the money back and shook his head: "No need, consider it my treat."
Kadalu slapped the money on the table and turned to leave. The bell on the door rang with his movements, and a firm voice came in: "Do you want me to eat for free? Are you kidding me? I'm a navy!"
Staring blankly at the waist door that was swinging less and less, Zhang Da also asked: "Tell me, did I do something wrong?"
The navy of this world seems to have a rule that it is not allowed to kill captured criminals without authorization. Ordinary criminals will be imprisoned in the naval base for a period of time, then sent to the Judicial Island to go through the process, and then imprisoned in Impel Down.
Some special criminals, such as Tom, who built a ship for Roger, were tried by a judicial ship sent by Judicial Island, and then a decision would be made whether to send them to Impel Down. For someone like Kadalu who executed someone on his own, he might really face punishment.
Tom held a finger in his mouth, not understanding what was going on. He didn't like thinking about these twists and turns.
Altria said: "We have captured them and handed them over to the navy. We have done what we should do. The criminals have not received the punishment they deserved. It is the negligence of the judicial department. However, the consequences of such negligence should not be borne by such an upright navy. We cannot change the world government's approach now, so we should be more thorough when facing such evil people in the future."
Anyway, most of the bounties say "DEAD-OR-ALIVE", which means it doesn't matter whether the criminal is dead or alive. This means it is reasonable and legal for ordinary people to kill these criminals without any trouble.
"I will try to adapt to this kind of thing." Zhang Da also collected the empty wine bottles left by Kadaru one by one. At least he didn't want such a good person to pay for his behavior again.
The three of them cleaned up the dishes together. Zhang Da also took out a sign saying "Closed for one day" and hung it outside the door and closed it.
"Tomorrow is the 1st again, let's just close for a day to save trouble. "
Altria remembered that Zhang Da also said that the first day of every month is the day when the "Employment Security Center" opens, and asked: "Is it because of the 'Tianlongren'?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Well, whether it's your beauty and temperament, or Tom's intelligence and peculiarity, they are all things that may arouse their interest. If it's just hearsay, it's easy to deal with, because there are so many beautiful women and smart animals in the world, and I haven't seen them catch them one by one, but if they see it with their own eyes, it's hard to say what will happen."
"Hmm... Hmm... Hmm..." When Tom heard Zhang Da also say that he was smart, he showed an embarrassed smile and his big eyes blinked as if he was shy.
Zhang Da also rubbed Tom's cat head: "I'm not deliberately praising you, hey, why are you so happy?"
Altria looked at him and said, "Tatsuya, if there really are Celestial Dragons coming to Shampoodi tomorrow, I want to see with my own eyes what this so-called world nobility looks like."
Zhang Da also subconsciously wanted to refuse, and tentatively said: "But tomorrow I plan to take you to Shampoo Park to play, there are still many delicious foods there that we haven't tried yet."
Without much hesitation, Altria said, "We can eat the delicious food later."
It's over. It looks like he has made up his mind.
"But we have to kneel down when we see the Tianlong people, otherwise there will be chaos. Should we hide in the distance and peek?" Zhang Da also thought of a prop and found it by flipping through the inventory. "Maybe this can come in handy."
"Is this... invisible ink?" Altria still remembered this magical little prop. With this, as long as she was careful, she would be able to observe closely.
Zhang Da also shook the bottle and said with a smile: "It's invisible ink. According to the last experiment, about ten milliliters of ink is enough to make a person invisible. This bottle can be used many times."
This is a rare item. Altria nodded and said, "Then use this. Thank you."
"Why be so polite." Zhang Da also waved his hand. He hadn't figured out how to use this thing anyway.
It was a good opportunity to take a look at the Celestial Dragons. Zhang Daye's mentality at this time was similar to that of wanting to go to the zoo to see monkeys, although it felt a bit unfair to the monkeys to say so.
As for whether they would be discovered by their Observation Haki, the guards that the Celestial Dragons bring with them when they go out to play are not that strong, because not everyone dares to take action like Luffy does when they get angry.
Ever since the establishment of the World Government, most people in this world have been taught since childhood that the Celestial Dragons are descendants of the Creator and that the authority of the Celestial Dragons is absolute. Eight hundred years have passed now, and this kind of thinking has made most people dare not rebel against the Celestial Dragons even at the cost of their lives.
When Zhang Da watched anime before, he didn’t understand why the guy whose fiancée was robbed and shot was so cowardly that he only dared to apologize but not to resist. Now that he thinks about it, it’s not surprising if he had been brainwashed since childhood.
"Next, let's think carefully about what to do if there is an emergency." Zhang Da also said.
"An emergency?"
"Yes, if you happen to see the Tianlong people doing something extreme, you probably won't be able to just sit there and watch."
"……Feel sorry."
"You didn't do anything wrong." Zhang Da also said, "If I had the strength to punch the Four Emperors and kick the generals, I would definitely destroy those scums."
