Chapter 55 I also want to exchange the reward money (seeking 5-star review)
The navy accepted the two pirate heads, issued the relevant documents, and then took Tiema, who had no say in the whole process, to the back room to collect the bounty.
Damn it! I lost 5 million Baileys on this business today. What a huge loss!
The major was still feeling sad for the loss of Bailey, but when he saw there were people queuing up behind him to redeem the bounty, the expression on his face improved a little.
The several islands near the entrance to the Grand Line are simply graveyards for novice pirates, so pirate hunters often come to redeem bounties. As a naval base on the Grand Line, the financial reserves are relatively sufficient.
The honest man Tiema quickly collected the bounty and walked out. Normally, the old mayor would personally lead the team to negotiate with the navy, but this time he was asked to come by himself to exchange it, and he was almost cheated and unable to report back. The whole process only took a dozen minutes, but made him feel more tired than practicing swordsmanship for 10 hours.
If it weren't for that upright and brave female soldier who spoke up for justice, he would probably only get a fraction of 1600 million of the 600 million. Thinking of this, Tiema couldn't help but look at the female soldier beside him with gratitude.
Feeling the gaze of this handsome man full of masculinity looking at her as hot as summer, the female marine showed a charming smile and cast a wink at Tiema, feeling secretly happy:
This damn charm of mine!
As a swordsman with good strength, Tie Ma is used to holding the sword with his right hand all year round. He doesn't need any woman at all. Women will only slow down his sword-drawing speed. How can an old virgin in his 40s stand such blatant seduction? He quickly looked away with a red face.
Looking at the voucher in his hand that didn't even have a stamp on it, Tiema felt helpless. The Navy promised that this piece of paper could be exchanged for 500 million Baileys in a year, but to be honest, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. The old mayor had a whole box of these blank checks, but he had never seen a single one that could really be exchanged for money.
But then again, he was able to get 1600 million berries out of the 1100 million bounty, which was nearly 7%, and he had already exceeded the mission goal.
"Are you two here to redeem your bounty as well?"
Looking at the two young men standing there with empty hands, the middle-aged marine asked suspiciously.
\"Yes, yes, Admiral, we want to redeem the bounty.\"
Forrest Gump hurried forward and answered stiffly.
The middle-aged male marine was the best at observing people's words and expressions. Forrest Gump's humble and polite appearance made him look down on him. Who among the capable people in this world is not unruly and looks awesome?
Even though the boy behind him was wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask to cover his face, one could still tell that he had an extraordinary demeanor, especially with a sleeping kitten lying on his shoulder. He looked very impressive at first glance, and the male Marine immediately understood who was the boss.
"Since you are here to redeem the bounty, then quickly bring out the pirate's head. Also, please tell me which pirate you killed."
The female marine wanted to finish the job quickly and get off work early. Although she liked young handsome men, mature uncles were her main dish, so she urged him impatiently.
If Gel knew that a woman defined him as a young hunk in her mind, he would definitely reveal his clothes to let her know what it means to look thin when dressed and full of muscles when undressed!
Forrest Gump could only turn around and ask for help from Gel who was standing behind him. To be honest, Forrest Gump was very panicked at this time. Lord Gel said he wanted to redeem the reward with nothing in his hands. He was just a guide and did not dare to ask more questions.
Gul patted Forrest Gump on the shoulder to signal him not to panic, then walked up to the middle-aged marine and said with a calm smile:
"I'm sorry, the stuff is a bit heavy and is on the carriage outside. Could you please arrange for a few navy soldiers to carry it?"
"Next time, just bring the pirate's head. No need to bring the whole body."
Although the middle-aged navy officer was a little dissatisfied, he still kindly reminded him while walking towards the door. He thought that no one would come all the way here without bringing anything to make such a joke, and he also had a preconceived idea that Geer was extraordinary, so his attitude was generally good.
On the side, Tiema carefully put away the bag full of Baileys. Anyone with a huge amount of money on them would look suspicious. He wanted to go back and report quickly, but as soon as he walked out, he was attracted by the conversation in the hall. Out of curiosity, he chose to stand in the corner and watch quietly.
"It's a pity that they didn't bring the whole body here. They only kept the head."
Gel's words made the middle-aged navy even more puzzled, but he did not ask any more questions. He guessed in his heart that it might be a big head. After all, there are giants ranging from several meters to dozens of meters tall in this world, and they are not uncommon.
"Hey! You guys over there, yes, that's you guys! Come over here and help!"
The middle-aged Marine was a naval sergeant and could still order a few new recruits to do some work.
Soon, four navy soldiers came in carrying two sacks weighing two to three hundred kilograms. Forrest Gump looked stunned, wondering when these two sacks appeared in the car.
The blood seeped through the linen and dyed the bag red, which looked somewhat scary.
"Open it."
The major also became interested, stood up from his chair, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the bag.
"Yes, sir!"
“S!!”
\"Ahhhh!\"
The moment the sack was opened, several naval soldiers gasped in surprise, and the timid one among them was so scared that he fell to the ground.
"what happened!"
The sergeant hurried forward to check. Although he was mentally prepared, everyone knew that the bag contained a human head, but when the truth was revealed, he was still shocked by what he saw.
I saw two sacks filled with human heads, which were extremely well preserved and still very fresh. The two sacks were full of blood, and there were probably about 5 to 60 heads in total.
This is too cruel!
The sergeant looked at Gel again with eyes full of awe. Regardless of whether there was a reward for these heads or how much the reward was, the fact that he dared to kill so many pirates was enough to shock him. He once again confirmed his initial judgment: this young man was indeed not an ordinary person!
"Mr. Hunter, what are these?"
"Haha, of course they are all pirates' heads. I won't do such a heartless thing as killing innocent people and claiming credit for it!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I meant that these are all pirates with bounties on their heads?"
the sergeant hastily explained.
"Ah, I don't know about that. There should be some. They all shouted happily before they died. They all said they were pirates with such and such bounties. They wouldn't lie to me, right? Can you help me check it out? I don't remember their names or their exact worth."
The major standing by almost laughed out loud with excitement when he heard this.
Hey, hey, hey, did I hear him correctly? Didn't he just say that he didn't even know if there was a bounty on the pirates he killed? Then wouldn't it be up to me to decide whether there was a bounty and how much the bounty was? ?
