Compared with the few dozen families in the village of West Robb, when you come to the town of Began next door, the lively atmosphere formed by the dense crowd here is in stark contrast to the West Rob.

The four members of the Usopp Pirates who led the way also obviously felt that there were many people and had some stage fright.

But even so, Usopp had no worries about being arrested, and still whispered to Hopodi from time to time to ask some interesting things about the Great Passage.

Hopodi coped with it from time to time, and for Usopp, the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates four years later, he thought he was just a cowardly and clever liar, but now it has really changed a lot.

During the previous conversation between Merry and Krabatel, they learned that they had returned from the Great Passage, and it was obvious that they had become cautious in their tone in the subsequent conversation.

Observing along the way, the inhabitants of the East China Sea seem to have seen and heard about the Great Passage as if they were still stuck in Roger's time, and thought that the Great Passage was a terrifying and mysterious sea.

On the contrary, this Usopp did not care about some interesting things asked on the way, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

"Is there really a whale as big as an island as you say the Great Passage? You're not bragging, are you?"

"That's your forte. Hopodi glanced at him, knowing this fellow, but he had said the shameless thing of 'leave the fleeing enemy to us.'

"Well, I've seen the naval base in front. Lead the way here!" Hopodi took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it into Usopp's hand: "This is the reward for leading the way, go buy something to eat!"

"It's the first time I've seen a real gold coin...... "Usopp was drooling, and his mind was already beginning to fantasize about what he was going to buy next.

"Uh-huh!" the other three imps also had the same expression.

Hopodi shook his head and smiled: "Then goodbye." ”

"Thank you for the gold, I can't tell you're still a good person. "Usopp was rude and bumped into Hobodi.

"Good people? Don't let me hear about your bounty, or I'll inform my friend Pirate Hunter 'Sniper God' to claim your bounty as soon as possible. ”

Usopp, who was only three seconds proud, heard this, and suddenly had a hellish frightened expression: "Sniper God!? Is it the kind of terrifying pirate hunter who kills people in the distance?"

"That's right. ”

"I'll stay in the village in peace!" Usopp immediately changed his expression and ran away.

......

After scaring Usopp and the other four away, Hopodi came to the end of the main street of Bergan Town, Hopodi looked up and looked at the top of a large house in front of him, with a seagull flag representing the Navy and a sign of [Navy 76th Branch] next to the iron gate fence.

"The location seems right, but it looks like a change is necessary. "This so-called naval base is smaller than the Keya manor in the nearby village of Sirob, especially the cracks and faded whitewash on the walls of the house that can be seen at the door, and it seems that it has not been renovated for a long time.

Not at all like a righteous naval base, more like a shelter that has been hit by a storm!

"By the way, my own warship, it shouldn't be like this!" Hobodi looked towards the harbor not far away, and regretfully found that a dilapidated and patched dark green warship was quietly docked at the side of the transport port, no different from the wreckage of the warships in the headquarters.

Hobodi was expressionless and pushed open the iron gate fence of the base, and he was in a very unhappy mood now.

At this time, two soldiers in sailor suits, one fat and one short, were cleaning in the courtyard, and as soon as the obese soldiers saw him enter, they immediately put down the broom in their hands, came to Hobodi's face with great momentum, and said arrogantly: "Who are you? ”

Huo Bodi took out the letter of appointment signed by the Marshal of the Warring States from his backpack and handed it to the two: "I am the new commander of the 76th branch sent by the Navy Headquarters to be stationed in the East China Sea, is it enough?"

"Did you say yes?" The fat boy navy soldier didn't appreciate it, and the short soldier next to him pulled him and whispered: "Look at the cloak on his back, it must be an officer of the Navy Headquarters." Forget it! The officers of the headquarters are separated by three ranks from our branch. In the branch, he is equivalent to a lieutenant colonel in the branch. In our entire East China Sea, only the Colonel 'Axeman' Monka of the fortress of Seltztown is bigger than him. That's the existence that can capture Captain Chloe, who has a bounty of 16 million Bailey, and is known as 'Hundred Schemes'!"

The fat navy soldier's face flashed with a hint of horror, but he immediately concealed it, took the letter of appointment in Hopodi's hand with one hand, and snorted: "You wait here first, I will go and ask Lieutenant Blu to confirm whether this letter of appointment is true or false, and then you can enter the base, Matt, you are here to keep an eye on him." ”

"As soon as possible!" Hopodi frowned, it seemed that there was still some obstacle to taking over this base directly. He is not stupid, today's scene, it is obvious that someone gave him a dismissal, and the most suspicious may be the lieutenant named Brubru.

After a while, the obese naval soldier led an even fatter green-haired middle-aged man out of the base, and the green-haired middle-aged man was also wearing a lieutenant cloak like Hobodi, without the word 'justice' on his back.

The fat green-haired middle-aged man came to Hobodi with a smile on his face, and pulled him by the hand affectionately: "You're finally here, Commander Hobodi." Since the previous commander was defeated by the pirates and retired due to injury, our base really doesn't know what to do, but now it's okay, with the lieutenant of the headquarters sitting in the Jacco Islands, we don't have to worry about it anymore. We're going to have a good celebration today!"

"It seems that you have also received the order from the headquarters?" The old fox, Hopodi snorted, not giving a good face: "Enough, there is not much nonsense, take me directly to the intelligence room." After an hour, call all the soldiers in the base directly to the training ground!"

Brubru's fat face stiffened, his eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and he hesitated, "This...... Doesn't the commander have to take a break after a long journey? Anyway, he is so dedicated when he first takes office......

"Is there anything you don't want me to see?" Hopodi frowned at Brubru.

Brubru's face was ugly, but he immediately changed to a smiling look: "How come, I'll take you with the commander now." ”

Within a few minutes, Brubru took Hobodi to the intelligence room, Hobodi looked at the stacks of documents on the cabinet, and his face was gloomy from time to time to glance at Brubru behind him.

An hour later, Hopodi clutched all the papers in his hands and said to Brubru, "The soldiers have been assembled, right?"

"Well, I told them to be on standby half an hour ago, ready to meet the commander. ”

"Then let's go!"
