Chapter XXXVIII

"What are you doing? Hurry up and give money! Ian urged.

"Oooh!" Monka came to his senses and hurriedly tried to get Ian through the formalities.

However, at this time, Monka suddenly thought of something, stopped his movements, and leaned over to Ian's side and whispered, "By the way, this ...... This little brother, do you know the process of receiving the bounty? ”

"I don't know!" Ian shook his head and said, "But isn't it all handed over to the navy and it's over?" ”

"That's what you say, but you may not know that ordinary branches can't get bounties! Our base is limited in funding. Monka explained in a low voice: "Under normal circumstances, after the pirate hunter hands over the captured bounty to the nearby naval base, he will only get a certificate of arrest, which will indicate who the bounty is, how much the bounty is, and there is also a certificate of acceptance from the local naval base. ”

"Meaning, the money for the bounty is still paid by the naval base, and it is only necessary to find a larger naval base with sufficient funds?" Ian asked.

"That's what it means!" Monka nodded and said: "Our larger base in the East China Sea, the nearest is only the naval base in Rogue Town, and in addition to the naval base on Mirabol Island, but it is far away, if you want to receive a bounty, it is best to go to Rogue Town!" ”

"Tsk!" Ian couldn't help but smack his lips, this situation was not what he expected, he thought that he could receive a bounty at any naval base.

He knew Rogue Town, but where was this Mirabol Island?

Seriously, after a storm baptism, Ian found that this kind of thing is really good to be fully prepared to go to sea again, there are too many situations that will be encountered at sea, the climate is one, as well as the supply of food, will you get sick or something, and even sea monsters, don't forget, there is such a thing as a sea king in this world, although most sea kings are only active near the windless zone near the great route, but no one can say whether there will be a certain sea king will swim to the blue sea to move, What if it happens?

He now understood why there were so many isolated islands in this world, because it was so difficult for this world to sail.

Now that I heard that I had to go to Rogue Town to receive the bounty, it meant that Ian would continue to go to sea, and I couldn't help but frown.

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Munka lowered his voice again, "I have a proposal here, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Oh, tell me about it?" Ian looked at him in surprise.

For this Monk, Ian doesn't have any good feelings, but again, he doesn't have any bad feelings, at least in his opinion, this guy can still lead the soldiers to resist the Bucky Pirates, then he is still a qualified navy, and for qualified people, Ian generally doesn't make any likes and dislikes evaluations.

As long as he doesn't infringe on his own interests.

"You handed over the people of the Bucky Pirates to me, and I gave you the bounty directly, and I didn't give you any certificate of detention, do you think that's okay?" Monka asked in a low voice.

Ian instantly understood what he meant, this guy wanted to take the credit for capturing Bucky for himself!

If you don't issue a certificate, it means that the capture of the Bucky Pirates was not caused by him, a pirate hunter, and Ian can't stay in the naval base all the time, he always has to leave, and now the naval soldiers in the base are injured and killed, and he didn't see this scene, Monka He can completely say that this Bucky Pirates are the ones he knocked down and arrested.

If Ian agrees to the deal, Monka can use all the remaining funds in the base to offset Ian's bounty.

As for saying that if someone notices that the funds are missing in the future, Monka can completely push it on the head of the Bucky Pirates, saying that some pirates took advantage of the chaos to take away the money, and even directly reported to the superiors to report the loss of the money, and when the time comes, the superiors will re-approve the funds for them for the operation of the base.

This guy has a good idea, this is unscrupulous for promotion, right?

Ian could have thought that if he hadn't shown incredible ability when he caught Bucky, which scared him, this guy Monka might even be greedy for his own merits and wouldn't even give him money.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but squint his eyes, lowered his head and pretended to think, so as not to let Monka discover the killing intent in his eyes.

He hated this kind of person because he felt like he was being taken advantage of.

But on second thought, what did you catch Bucky for? Isn't it just for the money?

Although the first ten consecutive draws have been completed, what is the purpose of Ian's going to sea? He wanted to find a cure for Guina, and he also wanted to find a Devil Fruit for Guina to make up for the loss of strength she had lost over the years she had been in a coma.

How do I get Devil Fruits? Except for the luck on the Great Voyage, the only way to buy it is to buy it, a Devil Fruit that I don't know what effect is, the price on the black market is 100 million Bailey, and that is the price of the red-haired Shanks when he was still on Roger's ship, that is, the price almost twenty years ago, and now I am afraid that it is more than that.

So Ian needs a lot of money, which is why he made up his mind to be a pirate hunter when he first went to sea, compared to when pirates rob everywhere, Ian still thinks that pirate hunters are more reliable.

Of course, there is another way, that is, the world government, it seems that because there are more and more pirates with the ability of devil fruits, so now even the world government and navy are consciously controlling and collecting devil fruits, they must have them in their hands, as long as Ian can join the navy and make a great contribution, maybe he can ask for a devil fruit as a reward?

There are many ways to do this, but you have to take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Ian made a decision, raised a finger and said to Monka: "Ten million!" Bucky's bounty is seven million Baileys, you add another three million to make up 10 million for me, then we will make a deal, you have a name and I will benefit, less than this number, let's not talk about it! ”

In fact, Ian wanted to shout the price of fifteen million, which was the bounty of the original Bucky in his impression, but he estimated that the 153 branch of Monka was afraid that there was not so much money, so he shouted 10 million, if Monka could get it, then everyone would be happy, not only would he have three million more, but he would not have to make an extra trip to Rogue Town.

However, Meng Ka was embarrassed, the reason why he thought of reaching a private deal with Ian just now was because he remembered that there was just seven million of the funds left in the base, which was the funds for the base to maintain operation in the second half of the year.

"I can't take it out!" Monka said dejectedly.

"Then there is no way! You'd better give me a certificate! Ian said with some regret, reputation or something, it doesn't matter to him, but if he can only get the same price, then Ian will definitely have to choose to take the reputation together, the credit of capturing the Bucky Pirates can make his reputation as a pirate hunter rise faster, and when the time comes, he can also threaten some small pirates who are not in the stream, and there are still benefits.

As for selling Mengka to save face or something, Ian didn't think about it at all, a small naval second lieutenant in the ordinary branch of the East China Sea, even if he had ambitions to take the position, but what happened to Guan Ian?

After getting the proof, Ian looked at the amount on it, flicked the paper, waved his hand and said to Monka: "Okay, these guys are handed over to you, I'm leaving!" ”

After saying that, Ian turned around and walked out of the base, Monka looked at his back, his eyes were full of gloom, the failure of this transaction made Monka feel more and more important about power, if he was the person in charge of the base, why would he discuss with Ian so secretly? Just say it directly, don't say 10 million when the time comes, as long as it does not exceed the one-year funding standard of the 153 base, he can get more money......

……………………

As he walked to the door, Ian saw Kirby, who had been hiding earlier, and beckoned to him.

Kirby was excited and excited at this time, although he didn't follow Ian in because he was afraid, but he watched Ian's power from the window, so as soon as he saw Ian, he immediately rushed to Ian excitedly, clenched his fists with bright eyes and said, "Brother Ian, you ...... You...... You're amazing! ”

He gestured incoherently: "Just now you pointed at that flaming broadsword, and those vicious pirates obediently tied themselves up!" Oh my God, when will I be like you, I can deter those pirates with my mouth! ”

Kirby's eyes were full of admiration for Ian, and he had completely put himself in the role of Ian, fantasizing that he could do this again, which would be too majestic.

Ian smiled slightly, touched the little man's pink hair, and said, "It's nothing, don't you want to be a navy in the future?" As long as you can become an admiral, you can do the same. ”

"Really? I...... I can become an admiral too!? Kirby asked incredulously.

"There will come a day, as long as you don't give up!" Ian smiled and said, "However, if you really become a navy one day, then remember, to be an honest navy, don't be like that guy inside......"

Who the guy inside was referring to, Kirby didn't know, he hadn't heard the conversation between Ian and Monka, so he could only nod his head in understanding.

The reason why Ian said this to Kirby was because after a conversation with Monka, he felt that it would be easier for him to gain the respect of others if he was still an upright person, and there were good people in the pirates, and similarly, there would be scum in the navy, and Monk was not upright, so Ian didn't respect him at all, even if he was a second lieutenant in the navy, if he was not respected, others would not easily help him, knowing that Monka wanted this credit for promotion, Ian still didn't want to help.

This is the so-called more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust.

On the other hand, although this child is timid and cowardly, he is kind-hearted, and Ian does not want to see him lose this nature in the future, so he gives him a piece of advice, hoping that he can become a respected person in the future.
