Chapter III Naval Bases

The sea area where Rhodes is located, the islands are relatively densely distributed, and it is one of the five major seas in the West Sea, although it is only a sea area of the West Sea, but the pirate power is still much stronger than that of the East China Sea.

Among them, the pirates with the highest bounty reached 35 million Bailey, and 10 million and 20 million could not be counted on two hands.

But.

So far, there have been four pirates who have died in the hands of Rhodes with a bounty of more than 10 million, including Lodes.

It is now the tenth year of the era of the sea pirates, and although the situation of the separation of the four emperors' forces has taken shape, the Seven Martial Seas under the king are still scattered and have not yet formed an order.

For Rhodes, it is still a little far away to punch the Four Emperors and Seven Martial Seas and kick the five old stars of the Navy.

……

Half a day later.

Rhodes came to the nearest island, where there was a naval division, and it was not large, there was only one small town on the island, and it was the place where he frequented.

"That's ...... Ghost Hand Rhodes! ”

The townspeople all looked frightened when they saw Rhodes walking into the town from the shore, some dragged their children back to their homes, and some closed the door tightly.

The profession of pirate hunter, although it also hunts pirates, is not very glorious compared to the navy, after all, the purpose of most pirate hunters is money.

Rhodes didn't care about this, he didn't like pirates, he didn't like the navy, the pirates had no fixed place, they were chased by the navy and ran around the sea, the navy had to obey orders and order, they were restricted everywhere, and there were many degenerate navy existences, and they acted more disgusting than pirates.

In comparison, the profession of a pirate hunter is much easier.

"It's Ghost Hand Rhodes!"

"Is he here again? It seems that less than half a month has passed! ”

The arrival of Rhodes caused chaos in the naval division, and countless navies were alarmed, and many recruits and military officers saw the head that Rhodes was carrying in his hand, and their faces showed a little fear, sweat stains overflowed from their foreheads, and they made a sound of spitting from time to time.

It didn't take long for Colonel Moby, the supreme commander of the naval branch, to come to the hall wearing a naval coat with the word justice on it.

"Who is it this time?"

Colonel Moby had a calm face, and his expression was not very good-looking.

Their naval base may not be able to capture a pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million in two or three months, but Rhodes, a pirate hunter, has sent three heads with a bounty of 10 million in a row in just two months.

While it is a good thing that the murderous pirates are sanctioned, this kind of thing often symbolizes the incompetence of their navy, which needs to rely on pirate hunters to sanction the pirates.

"Machete Lordes, a bounty of sixteen million Bailey."

Rhodes took out a wanted warrant from his bosom and pressed it lightly on the table, motioning for Colonel Moby to come over and compare.

Colonel Moby looked slightly startled when he heard this.

"Lodes was killed by you?"

He had led the navy to hunt down Lodes once, but he was escaped by the other party, but he didn't expect that in less than a month, Lodes was killed by Rhodes.

The head of Lodes on the table, he only glanced at it, and he was sure that it belonged to Lodes the machete.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to report to my superiors."

Colonel Moby stared at Lordus's head for a few seconds, then took a deep look at Rhodes, turned and walked into his office.

It didn't take long for Colonel Moby to come to the hall again and said, "It's confirmed, the bounty will be sent soon......"

Speaking of this, Moby paused for a moment, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "The Navy has recently expanded the recruitment of new recruits in the Navy, and the headquarters asked me to ask you if you are willing to join the Navy, if you are willing, you can be awarded the rank of Lieutenant Commander of the Navy without exception." ”

"Join the Navy?"

Rhodes touched his chin and said, "Forget it, I'm not very motivated, it's enough to get some bounty and bastard." ”

Moby snorted, he didn't want to see Rhodes join the Navy, it was the headquarters that asked him to come over and ask, and now Rhodes himself refused that it would be better.

A few hours later.

Lodes's sixteen million bounty was sent over, filled with a backpack, Rhodes opened it and glanced at it, didn't bother to count it, and took it away.

"Colonel, are we just going to do nothing?"

Lieutenant Colonel Laika stood next to Mobi, gritting his teeth as he watched Rhodes' departing back, with an extremely cold look in his eyes.

"What to do? What do you want to do? ”

Moby glanced at Laika, snorted heavily, and said, "If you want to regain your lost prestige, get out of here and get to work!" Arrest all the pirates who are running rampant! ”

Laika was scolded by Mobi, the muscles in his face moved, and finally he bowed his head in response, and no one noticed that his face was extremely stiff and cold.

……

After leaving the headquarters of the Navy, it was already midnight.

Rhodes was not afraid of robbery in the middle of the night, so he came to the coast with a backpack of money, got into his own boat, drove the boat, and returned to the place where he had always lived.

It is a medium-sized island.

There are seven or eight small towns on the island, and there is a very prosperous city in the center, and one of them is where Rhodes lives.

When I returned, it was already the next morning.

"Hey, Rhodes is back."

"The trip went well, right? Are there any injuries? ”

"Have you eaten? Our family cooked noodles, come and taste them? ”

The townspeople were very enthusiastic about Rhodes, because a few months ago, the pirates visited the town, and it was Rhodes who stepped up and single-handedly defeated many pirates and saved the townspeople.

Rhodes smiled and said hello to the townspeople, returned to his little house, threw the backpack containing the money on the bed, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I slept until the afternoon.

After waking up, Rhodes counted the money he currently had.

"There are already more than 40 million Baileys, and it is enough to buy a larger ship, but the crew is a problem......

Rhodes groaned in his face.

Nicole Robin is on this small island, hiding in the underground dark intelligence agency in the central city, Rhodes wants to recruit her as a crew member, and once she is on the ship, she will inevitably be wanted by the navy, so she will have to be a pirate.

"After all, the strength is still not enough, there is enough strength, whether it is a pirate or a navy, any identity can be relaxed, and no one dares to provoke."

Rhodes shook his head and left the house, intending to go out for a bite to eat and work hard when he returned.

Although exercising his own physique will not improve his talent proficiency, this improvement is independent of the talent system, and his current physique is not strong, so the room for improvement is very huge.
