Chapter Twenty-Four: Spread All Over the East China Sea (Four More Requests for Recommendation Votes)
East Sea, Coconut Town.
131st branch of the Navy.
"Colonel Rogge, this is a recent incident in the nearby seas."
In the office on the top floor, a Navy lieutenant handed a stack of papers to Colonel Rogge, who was sitting behind his desk, smoking a cigarette with a stiff face.
Rogge took the document and took a cursory look at it.
[The iron-fisted pirates with a total bounty of 3 million Baileys attacked the merchant ships passing through the Maple Leaf route, causing an estimated loss of nearly 20 million Baileys, with fewer casualties]
[Captain Crewe, who had a bounty of 5 million Bailey, was hunted by the previously unknown pirate hunter Ron, who refused to join the navy]
【……】
There are not many incidents recorded on the paper, only three or four, all of which are about pirates or pirates with bounties of more than 3 million Baileys.
In the past, Rogge would have carefully reviewed them one by one and thought about countermeasures, but at this moment, he was not in the mood, and after a hasty look, he threw it on the table.
"Don't bother me with these little things!"
“…… Yes, yes. ”
Seeing that Rogge was very annoyed, the captain couldn't help but respond again and again.
Rogge took a hard puff of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, looked at the several naval majors and lieutenant commanders standing on both sides of the office, and suddenly roared: "Where's the news? What about the news?! ”
"Also...... Still tracking ......"
A major spoke with a trembling voice.
Rogge slammed the table, stood up, and said angrily, "Still tracking? A warship has been destroyed, and the blame from the headquarters has just come down, who will be responsible? You?! ”
"Colonel Rogge......"
The major looked at Rogge angrily and replied in a trembling voice: "We misjudged the strength of the Hammer Pirates, but even if we can track them down now, we must send medium-sized warships to deal with them, and 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, a medium-sized warship, and now the small warship has been sunk by the opponent, which means that only by sending medium-sized warships can they deal with the Iron Hammer Pirates, and the other party is a pirate, it is impossible to stay in one place for too long, giving 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 single branch, and even if they can win, they often can't catch up.
Especially a character like the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Bai Ji Chloe, is a headache for the naval branch base, and the axe man Monka just caught a fake Chloe, and was directly promoted from a naval soldier to a colonel of the naval branch!
"Please calm down, Colonel Rogge......"
The lieutenant colonel next to him also whispered: "The government has raised the bounty of Hammer Love from 8 million Bailey to 12 million Bailey, which is indeed not within the scope of our branch, and I don't think the headquarters will punish too much." ”
Rogge glanced at the faces of several majors and lieutenant colonels, lowered his eyelids, paced slowly in the middle of the crowd, and took a deep puff on his cigarette.
It won't be punished too much, but it will be difficult for him to be promoted.
And the pirates with a bounty of more than 10 million Baileys are indeed extremely difficult to deal with, even if they are just ordinary sea soldiers, once they can catch a pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million Baileys, they can also be directly promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel.
Besides, no one knows if the Hammer Pirates will continue to operate in the waters under their jurisdiction, and what will happen if they stay in this area?
Relying on pirate hunters?
No kidding.
There are rumors of pirates with bounties of less than 10 million being hunted from time to time, but here in the East China Sea, there are only a handful of pirates with bounties of more than 10 million killed by pirate hunters.
And just as Rogge was pacing back and forth, depressed and irritable, a rush of footsteps came from outside the office, and soon a second lieutenant appeared in the doorway.
Everyone in the room looked over.
"Report ...... Report to the Colonel, yes, there are pirate hunters coming to the base...... "The captain's voice was flustered, and he didn't know if he was panting or being stimulated by something.
Rogge frowned and scolded, "It's just a pirate hunter, what are you doing in such a panic?!" ”
The captain swallowed his saliva when he looked at Rog's unkind appearance, and said in a trembling voice, "But, but...... The guy brought Hammer Love's head......"
The voice fell.
There was silence throughout the office, as if only the captain's gasps were left.
……
Outside the office in charge of receiving pirate hunters.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Rogge double-checked with the captain next to him.
The captain nodded and said, "I've checked it many times, and I asked Lieutenant Nata to help me confirm it, it's basically impossible to make a mistake." ”
Rogge took a deep breath, looked at the office in front of him, and walked over, still with a slight shock in his heart, and his eyes did not seem calm.
Hunted Hammer Love, who had a bounty of 12 million Bailey!
Who is it!
You must know that a pirate hunter is different from a navy, and a pirate hunter will not have as sophisticated weapons and troops as a navy, let alone a warship.
Pirate hunters can take out pirates, either by sniping sneak attacks, or by relying on absolute strength, and the former generally can't get the pirate's head, and only in the latter case can you take the pirate's head to receive the bounty!
Walking into the office, Rogge saw each other.
It was a young man with a natural and peaceful demeanor, who was not carrying a weapon, and at first glance it did not feel very strong, and his body seemed to lack exercise.
Rogge's brows furrowed slightly, but when he met Ron's gaze, his heart shook, and he felt a sense of oppression in Ron's eyes.
It was from mental oppression.
Ron, whose spiritual attribute exceeds 30 points, can be said to have ten times the spiritual power of ordinary people, and under this huge gap in spirit, Ron's eyes are completely different from ordinary people, even if he is not very deliberate.
There was confidence, nobility and strength in his eyes.
"I'm Colonel Rogge of Branch 131, and I would like to greet you on behalf of the Branch...... I don't know if Mr. Ron would like to join the Navy and contribute to the stability of the sea. ”
The doubts in Rogge's heart disappeared as he looked at each other, he took a deep breath and slowly spoke at Ron, his words were fixed, fixed sentences for each pirate hunter.
"I like freedom."
Ron spoke in a casual tone.
Rogge nodded and said, "I see...... Here is Hammer Love's bounty, a total of 12 million Baileys, which can be counted. ”
Ron smiled faintly, took the suitcase containing the money from Colonel Rog's hand, felt the weight, and said, "No need to count, I can still trust the navy." ”
Without further ado, after taking the suitcase, Ron walked outside, his back gradually disappearing from the eyes of many navies.
It wasn't until Ron's back completely disappeared outside the branch that Rogge withdrew his gaze.
A lieutenant colonel next to him said softly: "Although I don't want to join the navy, but there is such a pirate hunter who can hunt Hammerlov, I think many pirates will tremble for it, and their actions will be much more restrained." ”
"Well, that's a good thing."
……
A few days later.
The news that the pirate hunter 'Magician' Ron had hunted the hammer love, who had a bounty of 12 million Bailey, quickly spread and spread throughout the East China Sea under the deliberate impetus of the navy.
A large number of pirates of average strength were disturbed.
Even those pirates who stood at the apex of the East China Sea frowned slightly when they heard the news, although they were not afraid, they also remembered the name of 'Ron, the Magician'.
