Chapter 24 Spreading throughout the East China Sea
Donghai, Coconut Town.
Navy Branch 131.
"Col. Roger, this is a recent incident in the nearby waters."
In the office on the highest level, a naval lieutenant handed a stack of documents to Colonel Roger, who was sitting behind the desk and smoking a cigarette with a stiff face.
Roger took the documents handed over and took a rough look.
[The iron-fisted pirate group with a total bounty of 3 million Bailey attacked the merchant ship passing by the Maple Leaf route, causing the estimated losses of nearly 20 million Baileys and few casualties]
[Cru, who has a bounty of 5 million Bailey, was hunted. The hunter was the previously unknown pirate hunter Ron, who refused to join the Navy]
【…】
There are not many incidents recorded in the document, only three or four, all of which are about pirates or pirate groups with a bounty of more than 3 million Baileys.
In the past, Roger would have carefully reviewed and thought about countermeasures one by one, but now he was not in a good mood. He looked at it quickly and threw it on the table.
"Don't bother me these little things!"
“…yes, yes.”
Seeing Rogge was very annoyed, the captain couldn't help but respond.
Roger took a strong breath of cigarette, spit out smoke, looked at the several naval majors and lieutenant colonels standing on both sides of the office, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the news? I'll ask you what's the news?!"
"It's still... tracking..."
A major spoke in a trembling voice.
Roger slapped the table suddenly, stood up, and said furiously: "Still tracking? A warship has been destroyed. The headquarters' question has just come down. Who will take responsibility? Are you?"
"Col. Roger..."
The major looked at Roger and responded tremblingly, "We misjudged the strength of the Hammer Pirates, but now even if we can track them, we must send a medium-sized warship to deal with it. There is only one medium-sized warship in our base..."
The standard configuration of the ordinary branch of the East China Sea is two small warships and one medium warship. Now one small warship has been sunk by the opponent. That means that only by sending a medium warship can we deal with the Hammer Pirates. The other side is a pirate, so it is impossible for them to stay in one place for too long and give them time to send warships to pursue.
In the East China Sea, every pirate group with a total bounty of more than 10 million Baileys is difficult to deal with by a separate branch, and even if it can be won, it is often impossible to catch up.
Especially the role of the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Baiji Clow, which made the Navy branch base even more trouble. Axeman Monka just caught a fake Clow and was promoted from a naval soldier to a colonel of the Navy branch!
"Please calm down, Colonel Roger..."
The lieutenant colonel next to him also whispered: "The government has increased the bounty of Tiehloff from 8 million Bailey to 12 million Bailey. This is indeed not within the scope of our branch that can be solved. I don't think the headquarters will be punished too much."
Roger glanced at the faces of several majors and lieutenant colonels, lowered his eyelids, walked slowly in the middle of the crowd, and took a deep breath of cigarettes.
There will be no punishment, but it will be difficult for him to be promoted.
Moreover, every pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million Baileys is indeed an extremely difficult existence to deal with. Even if it is just an ordinary naval soldier, once he can catch a pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million Baileys, he can be directly promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel.
Besides, no one knows whether the Hammer Pirates will continue to operate in the sea area under his jurisdiction. What should we do if we stay in this sea area?
Rely on Pirate Hunter?
Stop kidding.
Pirates with a bounty of less than 10 million yuan have been heard from time to time, but there are only a handful of pirates with a bounty of more than 10 million yuan in the East China Sea that have been killed by pirate hunters.
Just as Roger was pacing back and forth, feeling depressed and irritable, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the office, and soon a naval lieutenant appeared at the door.
Everyone in the room looked over.
"Report... Report to the colonel, yes, pirate hunters came to the base..." The captain's voice was in a panic, not knowing whether it was gasping or some stimulation.
Roger frowned and shouted, "It's just a pirate hunter, why are you doing so panic?!"
The captain swallowed his saliva as he looked at Roger's bad expression and said in a trembling voice: "But, but... that guy brought the Hammer Love's head..."
The words fell.
The whole office was silent, as if only the captain's breathing was left.
...
Outside the office responsible for receiving pirate hunters.
"Are you sure you're not wrong?"
Roger confirmed to the captain next to him repeatedly.
The captain nodded and said, "I have compared it many times and asked Lieutenant Nata to confirm it for me. It is basically impossible to make a mistake."
Roger took a deep breath, looked at the office ahead, and walked over. There was still a little vibration in his heart, and his eyes seemed uneasy.
Hunting the Hammer Love with a bounty of 12 million Bailey!
Who is it!
You should know that pirate hunters are different from navy. Pirate hunters will not have as good weapons and troops as the navy, let alone own warships.
Pirate hunters can kill pirates either by sniper attacks or by absolute strength. The former usually cannot get the pirate's head. Only in the latter case can they take the pirate's head to receive a reward!
When he walked into the office, Roger saw the other person.
He was a young man with a natural and peaceful expression. He was not carrying a weapon on his body. At first glance, he didn't look very strong, and his body seemed to lack exercise.
Roger frowned slightly, but when he looked at Ron's eyes, his heart was shaken, and he felt a sense of oppression in Ron's eyes.
That comes from spiritual oppression.
Ron, whose spiritual attributes exceed 30 points, can be said to have ten times the mental power of ordinary people. Under this huge spiritual gap, even if Ron is not very deliberate, his eyes are completely different from those of ordinary people.
The eyes were filled with confidence, nobility and power.
"I am Colonel Roger of Branch 131. I would like to greet you on behalf of the branch... I don't know if Mr. Ron is willing to join the navy and contribute to the stability of the sea."
Roger's doubt disappeared with his eyes looking at him. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke at Ron. His words were fixed, and he fixed sentences for every pirate hunter.
“I like freedom.”
Ron spoke in a casual tone.
Roger nodded and said, "I understand... This is the bounty of Timberlake Love, with a total of 12 million Baileys, you can count it."
Ron smiled faintly, took the suitcase for money from Colonel Roger, felt the weight, and said, "No need to count it, I can still trust the Navy."
Without further ado, after taking the suitcase, Ron walked outside, and his back gradually disappeared in the eyes of many navy soldiers.
Only when Ron's back completely disappeared outside the branch did Roger withdraw his gaze.
A lieutenant colonel next to him whispered: "Although he is unwilling to join the navy, there is such a pirate hunter who can hunt Hammer Love. I think many pirates will tremble and will restrain themselves a lot."
"Yeah, that's a good thing."
...
A few days later.
The news that the pirate hunter "magic" Ron hunted the Iron Hammer Love, who had a bounty of 12 million yuan, spread rapidly with the intentional push of the Navy and spread throughout the East China Sea.
A large number of pirates of average strength were frightened by it.
