Chapter 68 Warship
The navy came prepared this time. After hearing the bounty amount reported by Zhang Daye, they brought all the bounty orders that met the requirements, but after checking them one by one, none of them matched.
A clever soldier poured a basin of cold water on Black to wake him up and asked him about his origins.
He confessed that he had lied about the bounty. He added a sum to his bounty , turning 16 million into 76 million. All his men were deceived by him.
When a group of unknown pirates docked at the port, he used the reputation of 76 million to scare them into robbing the ship with his men.
Of course, this man was not without strengths. At least he knew a little about navigation, which allowed them to sail smoothly on the Grand Line for several months, and he also snatched a lot of things by bluffing.
Because nothing serious had happened, the bounty had not been increased, and those minions who did not pay much attention to intelligence had no idea of their boss's true level.
Recently, Black heard that there was an illegal area on the Sabaody Archipelago where no one cared what people did. He planned to take his men there to seize a piece of land, and then slowly use his strengths to deceive more powerful men to help him conquer the world.
I didn’t expect to be defeated as soon as I landed on the island. I fell to T. Peng’en’s feet and cried, “I regret it now, I regret it very much! Please let me go!”
The righteous Lieutenant Colonel T. Peng would not listen to his nonsense and kicked him over: "Save these words for the judges of Judicial Island. If we let you go, what will happen to the future of the civilians!"
Zhang Da was also disappointed when he learned the truth, but he still had to remain polite: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, I reported the case without knowing his real reward."
"This is not your fault. There are still many cunning pirates in the world. It is our navy's duty to find out their identities and capture them." T. Peng En said seriously, "Although the amount is different, he is still a wanted criminal. Please follow me to the base to collect the reward later."
"Okay, then what should we do with this pirate ship?" Zhang Daye had the impression that the ships of the extras were sunk directly, and he didn't know what the real bounty hunter would do after getting the pirate ship.
T. Peng En said: "You defeated the pirates, so this ship and everything on it belong to you. If you don't want to keep it, you can give it to the navy for recycling, or sell it to a nearby shipyard."
The navy men who came this time were all honest people. They didn't take advantage of Zhang Da's ignorance and just tricked him into taking the ship away.
The adjutant also kindly reminded him that if he handed it over to the navy, he would be given a lower price, but he would not suffer any loss. If he handed it over to the shipyard, how much he could sell it for would depend on his own ability.
Zhang Da really didn't plan to keep it for himself. Even if he wanted to go out to sea, he couldn't drive this broken boat. He might as well sell it. He had acquaintances at the shipyard.
Zhang Daya never expected that his first ship trip at this time would be to the naval base.
Because there were quite a few pirates and some of them were seriously injured and unable to move, Zhang Da also suggested lending them the ship.
So T. Pengen commanded twenty or so naval soldiers to carry more than thirty pirates on board, raise the anchor and set sail, and head along the coast to the naval base.
Zhang Daye’s bubble car filled with goods was not forgotten either.
The marines' movements in maneuvering the ship were very regular, similar to the standard movements that Altria had described. It was obvious at first glance that they were very diligent in their training.
Taking advantage of the time spent sailing at sea, the enthusiastic marines also cleaned the deck - they were used to neat and tidy warships, and it was really uncomfortable for them to look at the dirty deck.
Follow the World Government's exclusive waterway all the way to the harbor behind the naval base.
Because bounties had always been collected in front of the base building before, this was the first time Zhang Daye had seen a warship.
There were four warships, one large and three small, parked in the naval port. There were only a few soldiers standing guard on the large ships, and dozens of soldiers were training on the small boats.
Even a small warship looks much stronger than the ship under your feet.
There was a blue seagull logo painted on the neat white sail, and neatly arranged gun muzzles were mounted on the hull painted with special camouflage. The more Zhang Da compared the ship, the more he disliked it.
Tom stood on Zhang Daye's shoulder, looking left and right like a curious baby. He also jumped onto the deck and ran, stood at attention, and saluted with his back hand like a sailor.
Several Marines found Tom's appearance very interesting, but it was a pity that privates first class and second class could not bring any extra things when they were on a mission, otherwise they would definitely have to feed Tom.
Most of the soldiers stationed in Shabaodi were sent directly from the Navy Headquarters. Their spirit and energy were impeccable. After watching them train, Altria nodded secretly.
Before coming, T. Pengen called the base and was allowed to temporarily dock after their identities were checked when entering the port. The marines carried the pirates off one by one.
T. Penn said, "Please follow me."
They were not allowed to enter the base building at will, so Zhang Daye and the others followed T Peng En around the building and came to the front.
A familiar exchange office and familiar people. Major Kuro still looked lazy, but he sat up straight when he saw T. Peng En - he was annoyed by the preaching of this upright and rigid lieutenant colonel.
"Nice to meet you again, Brother Tatsuya." Major Kuro saluted T. Peng En before greeting Zhang Tatsuya.
Zhang Da also responded politely: "Yes, I have to trouble you again, Mr. Major."
T. Penn helped explain the situation. Major Kuro filled out a form in person and gave it to T. Penn to sign, and then paid the reward.
The bounty on Dimar Braque, plus their weapons and some weapons in the cabin, totaled 16.5 million. This time the bounty was finally worthy of a black briefcase full of money.
"By the way, brother Tatsuya, this is my Den Den Mushi number. Please let me know before you come to redeem your bounty next time so I can prepare in advance." Major Kuro handed Zhang Tatsuya a note.
"Isn't this too much trouble?" Zhang Da also felt that Major Kuro's enthusiasm today was a little abnormal.
"It's not a big deal. This will improve efficiency." Kuro said.
T. Peng En praised: "As a marine, you should be so motivated, Major Kuro. Keep working hard. I believe it won't be long before you can be on the same level as me."
Kuro smiled apologetically, and when T. Peng En and Zhang Da left, Kuro's assistant said happily, "Major, you finally want to be promoted?"
"Promotion? Bullshit promotion." Kuro muttered, "If I get promoted, I might be transferred, and if I'm transferred, I might have more dangerous missions. I just want to live in peace until I retire."
"Then you gave him the number because..."
"Next time he calls, remind me so I can take leave and find someone to take his place."
“…”
"Even if he just helped to redeem the bounty, it's still a credit. A few million small pirates is not a big deal, but it hasn't been long since this guy started catching pirates worth tens of millions. Can he still get more in the future?"
Kuro was thinking that if he could send a few more pirates worth tens of millions over, he would have accumulated enough merit.
