Chapter 55: Headline Characters
Headquarters of the Navy.
Stoloberry Office.
Not long after the sky was shabby, the atmosphere in the office was solemn as if it could squeeze out water, and the admiral in charge of transmitting information was silent at the moment, and the feeling of depression continued to spread.
Anyone who sees the expression on Stoloberry's face will probably be nervous and speechless, and without saying a word, he is like a volcano that has been silent for a long time, which may erupt at any time.
Knock knock!
The continuous dull knocking on the table sounded in vain, as if it had been an earthquake, the desk shook violently, the documents on the table were shaken in half, and the admiral was also frightened, his nerves were so tense that his body's conditioned reflexes were excited, and he staggered back two steps.
Sure enough, the 'volcano' erupted.
"Can anyone give me an explanation, give me an explanation?!"
Stoloberg stood up suddenly, his hands pressed against the table, and his eyes widened, "A major general of the headquarters lost to a rookie pirate in a frontal battle?" ”
"What is the 'White Devil' capable of? First lawlessly broke into the branch base, killed the colonel of the branch, then killed the colonel of the headquarters who was in charge of chasing him, and then escaped from the hands of the 'white hunter' Smoker unharmed, how long has it been until now? Kata Kongbo died at his hands like this? ”
"What the hell do you want me to say? Is there a loophole in our navy's promotion system, allowing some paper tigers with false appearances to ascend to the position as they wish, and fill up the number indiscriminately? ”
"Or has the 'White Devil' been hiding his strength and playing tricks on all of us?"
Stoloberg was engulfed in anger and spoke like a cannonball, his words clearly full of sarcasm.
Obviously, he didn't think that anyone would be so boring, and he began to hide his strength from a small East China Sea, and the various battle reports submitted before denied this possibility.
Therefore, in the eyes of Stoloberg, the inability to suppress Bai Xiao can only prove that Kata Kongbo is incompetent and not worthy of the title of rear admiral of the headquarters to do things on behalf of the navy.
The intelligence colonel could only listen silently, allowing the lieutenant general to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
"And that Gigila, the information that he finally got in hand, and carefully planned a plan of action for it, but he still let him run away, at least the general, down to you colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors, none of them can make people worry."
Stoloberg withdrew a hand and rubbed it against the door of his aching head, as if he was thinking about what to do next.
But thinking about it left and right, Stoloberg didn't think of a very good way to deal with it, it was impossible for him, the lieutenant general, to take action in person, just for a newcomer in the East China Sea who had just set foot on the great voyage for a few months?
In essence, if it weren't for a coincidental audit before, Bai Xiao wouldn't have been able to enter Stoloberry's sight at all.
In order to deal with Bai Xiao, Kata Kongbo, who was the major general of the headquarters, was already overreacting, and it was a somewhat willful decision of Stoloberry.
Kata Kongbo will die in the hands of Bai Xiao, this is something that Stoloberry would never have dreamed of, and can only be described by the words 'Arabian Nights'.
Fortunately, the influence of this matter has not yet spread, nor has it reached the upper echelons, and it is under control for the time being.
"Pay close attention to the news of the 'White Devil', and report to me immediately if there is any situation."
In the end, Stoloberg only dropped this sentence, focusing on the news, not 'trends', which means that he no longer intends to continue to dwell on Bai Xiao's affairs.
In fact, in this day and age, the number of pirates is like a carp crossing the river, and there are not a few pirates who have committed bad deeds and even provoked the majesty of the navy, but not every single one, the navy has the energy to deal with it.
The situation has developed to this point, Stoloberg has no intention of dealing with it anymore, and sending a major general from the headquarters is already the limit.
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
The colonel of the headquarters hurriedly nodded yes, relieved.
"Wait."
"Lieutenant General, is there anything else you need to instruct?"
As soon as he turned around, Stoloberg's voice rang in his ears again, and the colonel wanted to cry without tears, and his back was already soaked with sweat, and he turned back and asked.
"Increase the bounty of the 'White Devil' to '80 million' for me."
Stoloberg said with a straight face, this is his last effort, in this era, the bounty of pirates has not exploded, and the bounty of 80 million is already very rare in the first half of the Great Voyage.
"My subordinates understand."
A moment of shock flashed in the colonel's eyes, but he nodded quickly.
……
Great Voyage.
Maritime.
The sky is clear, the white clouds are far away, and the midday sun pours down, casting a warm layer of light and shadow on the rapid sailing, making people want to lazily soak up the sun and lie on the deck for a good nap.
Bai Xiao was not so leisurely, but stood on the deck with his eyes closed, surrounded by seven black shadow ninjas who were scattered and stood apart, each of them ready to attack.
"Let's go."
With an order, the seven Black Shadow Ninjas launched their actions at the same time, attacking Bai Xiao with their fists from different directions.
Whew.
The fist wind roared, although the current fist strength of the Black Shadow Ninja was not very good, but the agility was very high, the pace was fast, and the punches were brisk, but no matter how they attacked, Bai Xiao seemed to have predicted their attack, either turning his head, or turning sideways, or squatting down.
The movements of the dark shadow ninjas became faster and faster, and Bai Xiao went from being able to move with ease at the beginning, to his breathing becoming short, and his dodgeable movements were always like dancing on the tip of a knife, which was extremely beautiful.
Bang!
A Dark Ninja who attacked from the back successfully hit the corner of Bai Xiao's clothes with a punch, and all the Dark Ninja immediately stopped attacking tacitly.
"Captain, it's amazing, it's amazing."
Nami, who had been watching the battle for a long time, applauded again and again.
"What, you're interested?"
"Such a powerful trick, if I can learn it, I will have the strength to protect Cocosia Village with my own hands."
"Nice idea, but not for you right now."
"That's ......"
Nami was lost for a moment, but she cheered up in an instant: "Forget it, anyway, the captain is here, I just need to be in charge of sailing with peace of mind." ”
Tweeted!
The sound of the bird's call vaguely slipped into Nami's ears, and she immediately thought of something, raised her head, and sure enough, she saw a news bird hovering in mid-air, and immediately jumped up and waved her hand with joy.
"Thank you."
After a while, Nami bought a copy of the latest current affairs newspaper from the news bird, but as soon as she got the newspaper, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and lost her voice:
"Captain, it's up, it's up!"
"My bounty?"
Bai Xiao immediately thought of it.
"Yes, Captain, you are on the front page of the news today, and the Navy has offered you a bounty of 80 million!"
Nami emphasized '80 million', her eyes glittered with gold, and then she looked at Bai Xiao's eyes, as if she was looking at a treasure chest filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
