Chapter 99: Enthusiastic Citizen Zhang Da Ye
Tom and Cami made a wish devoutly and blew out the small flame on Mr. 3's head.
When Zhang Daye asked them what wish they made, Kemi said confidently, "If you say your wish out loud, it won't come true."
Tom even covered his mouth and shook his head exaggeratedly.
This made Zhang Da even more curious about what kind of wish Tom could make since he just ate, drank, played and slept like a lazy fish all day long.
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Let's go to the naval base." Zhang Da also called on others to load the three wooden barrels into the car and leave the abandoned yard.
Zhang Da was also responsible for pulling the cart. This was the second time he pulled this simple cart made by Tom. He still missed the feeling of earning his first pot of gold.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng walked on both sides, both as guards and on guard against the car suddenly falling apart, because it looked too simple.
Kami and Tom sat in the car, Kami because it was inconvenient for him to walk and Tom because he was simply lazy.
The group's movement seemed a bit conspicuous, but because they were carrying weapons and there were people in the car, they were basically regarded as bounty hunters and no one dared to approach them to provoke them.
Of course, if Kemi hadn’t covered his tail, he would have had to use his musou to leave here.
Because Mr. 3 was very sensible, Zhang Da let Tom knock him out. The effect was good and had no side effects. The bump on his head healed quickly.
That’s right, even if he’s sensible, he still has to be knocked out. After all, he’s a villain and can’t be taken lightly.
When leaving the illegal area, Zhang Da also stopped and said, "Altria, take Kemi back to the tavern first."
Altria asked, "Will the Navy also take action against Kemi?"
Zhang Da also said: "I won't take direct action, but I can't guarantee that all the navy are good people, so it's better to be a little cautious."
Altria nodded and said, "I see, Kemi, how about coming back to the tavern with me first? I can show you around."
"Yes." Kimi agreed, and then said self-reproachfully, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for running around and causing you trouble."
Altria picked up Kemi and patted her head: "We are friends. You just came to play with us. What's wrong with that?"
"That's right, Kami, don't think too much, let's go to the pub first, we 'll be back soon." Zhang Da also comforted, "Secretly tell you, Tom hid a lot of snacks behind the wine cabinet, you can find them and eat them."
Cami looked curious and Altria's eyes sparkled.
"Meow?" Tom had a big question mark in his little head. Why was I the one who got hurt?
Tom jumped up and down and waved his hands to deny it, demonstrating what it meant to be trying to cover up one's own faults.
Zhang Da also nodded, pretending to be enlightened: "Oh, so it wasn't Tom who hid it. It doesn't matter if I eat it all ."
Tom showed a shocked expression, then grabbed Zhang Tatsuya's clothes with both hands and shook his head pleadingly.
"Ha ha……"
Amidst laughter and joy, the crowd split into two groups.
Zhang Da also remembered Major Kuro's instructions that if he wanted to exchange the bounty, he could call him first and ask them to prepare in advance, which would save time when going through the procedures.
"Plu pulu pulu... Kacha."
A lazy voice came from the mouth of Den Den Mushi: "Hello, this is the bounty exchange office of 66GR Naval Base, I am Kuro."
"Hello Major Kuro, I'm Zhang Tatsuya."
"It's Tatsuya-kun, what's going on?" Major Kuro asked.
Zhang Da also said: "Oh, I caught three bounty-bearing criminals and was about to redeem the bounties."
Kuro was silent for a moment: "How much is the total bounty?"
Zhang Da also said: "I forgot to ask before I knocked him out, maybe it's tens of millions?"
Squeak~Squeak~The sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Da also seriously suspected that this person was drinking tea and reading newspapers leisurely with his legs on the table during working hours.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay. You can come over now and find my adjutant. You have met him." Major Kuro replied hurriedly and hung up the phone.
Zhang Da also looked at the sleeping Den Den Mushi and said, "I always feel like something is wrong. Will a hundred or eighty swordsmen jump out and chop Tom into pieces as soon as we go over there?"
Tom was a little scared, so Rui Mengmeng asked for him, "Why is it Teacher Tom?"
"Because only he can chop it into pieces. We will die before we can be chopped into pieces ." Zhang Da also laughed as he spoke.
"..." Rui Mengmeng was silent for a few seconds, "Boss, your joke is so boring."
Tom decided to add a spoonful of salt to his master's bowl at dinner.
…
They arrived at the familiar naval base again. The naval soldier standing guard at the gate saw three people in the car with strange shapes and asked what was going on.
Zhang Da also explained: "The three of them are very dangerous people with special abilities. We can only soak them in water for the time being."
"I see." The soldier stood in awe. To be able to capture a person with special abilities, he must be a very powerful person. "Please follow me."
Zhang Da also pulled the cart and followed him to the familiar bounty redemption place, but did not see the familiar person.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tatsuya, Major Kuro had to leave for something urgent, so I'll be in charge of the exchange this time ." The adjutant, who had met several times before, said with some embarrassment.
Zhang Da didn't understand what there was to apologize for: "Ah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who comes."
But it’s only been a short time since I called you, and it feels strange that he has something urgent to do. Could he be avoiding me?
In fact, it didn't matter whether Kuro was there or not, since it was someone else who was doing the work. The adjutant quickly found the bounty order for the three people:
"Gardino of Black Gold, born in the South Sea, with a bounty of 24 million berries. Jem of the Border, born in the South Sea, with a bounty of 10 million berries. Michita the Smuggler, born in the West Sea, with a bounty of 7.5 million berries."
Zhang Da was also very surprised to hear this. He only knew that these three were from the Baroque Workshop, and this was the first time he heard about their lives before they joined the society. Even their names were unfamiliar to him.
It sounds like Mr. 3 is a loan shark, Mr. 5 is a mercenary at the border, and Miss. Valentine is a smuggler?
Not to mention Mr. 5's temperament and explosive ability, he is indeed very suitable to be a mercenary or a terrorist. Mr. 3's loan sharking is barely acceptable, but can that woman really be a smuggler with her careless appearance?
The adjutant calculated and said in shock, "The total amount is 41.5 million Baileys, and all three of them are Devil Fruit users!"
"Wow... so awesome!" The soldier who was in charge of leading the way was also shocked.
In fact, they have seen big pirates with higher bounties, but it is rare to see three people with special abilities sent at once.
Maybe they themselves didn't realize that there was a hint of contempt in their eyes when they looked at the three pirates in the barrels. It was a waste for them to have such a low bounty for being a person with special abilities.
"They are not ordinary bounty criminals. From what I know, they joined a secret criminal organization called Baroque Works, and have been operating under code names ever since. This means that there may be many evil deeds committed under code names that have not been recorded by the Navy."
Zhang Da also rubbed his hands expectantly, "So if their crimes are proven, can we give them some reward or something?"
Rui Mengmeng was shocked that the boss actually knew how to bargain!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tatsuya. I will report the information and request you provided truthfully, but compensation for bounties and the like... there is no precedent for this."
"Forget it, please be sure to report the matter of Baroque Works. I hope the Navy can eradicate them. This criminal organization makes us law-abiding residents uneasy. If you need to cooperate with the investigation, then I will never refuse!" Zhang Da also looked like a warm-hearted citizen.
The adjutant, the soldier who led the way, and the soldier who was ordered to bring the seastone handcuffs were all moved: "It is our fault that this criminal organization threatened the safety of civilians. Thank you for your support for the work of the Navy!"
"This is what I should do!" Zhang Da straightened his chest and glanced at the seastone handcuffs in the hands of several soldiers. "I wonder if I can buy one or two pairs of those special handcuffs for self-defense?"
