Chapter 57: Being Targeted by the Navy (Please give a 5-star review)

"Wait a minute, the reward amount for this exchange is too large, which is beyond my authority. I need to consult my superiors."

After saying that, the major winked at the two naval officers beside him, wanting to pull them out to smoke a cigarette and discuss countermeasures.

The female marine standing by her side no longer considered herself an outsider and immediately jumped out to expose his lie:

"Sir, I remember that the Commodore has not returned from reporting to the Marine Headquarters yet? Why do you need to ask your superiors for permission to go out? I have a Den Den Mushi with me."

After saying that, she took out a Den Den Mushi from her broad chest, which was looking very enjoyable.

The major's face was gloomy. He didn't understand why this woman was going against him in everything today. Even though he guessed that her backer should be Brigadier General Monya, blocking someone's financial path was like killing their parents!

What's more, he is not the only one who relies on this industrial chain to make money. He is only responsible for this matter on the surface. The combined power of those people behind the scenes is not small. Even Brigadier General Monya, the highest commander of this base, has to weigh whether it is worth it to incur public anger for a little lover!

Humph! That's right! I have someone behind me too! There's no need to pamper her!

The major had just finished encouraging himself and was about to start being rude to her when he heard the female marine start to persuade her in a conscientious manner:

"Since we are all colleagues, let me give you one more thing. A large number of these heads are pirates from the East China Sea, and they all disappeared suddenly some time ago. Can you guess how they died?"

Bastard, what do you mean by giving me a heads up? Can you be more disrespectful when you speak? Don't I have any dignity?

The major's defenses were completely broken, and he was about to explode out of control.

"Corporal Chi-Chi! Please watch your attitude when you talk to your superiors. Don't underestimate me because I have a good temper! And what do you mean by guessing how they died? Are you stupid? The heads of these pirates are right here, how else could they have died? Of course they were hacked to death!"

The major, no longer able to endure, finally plucked up the courage to retort. After saying it, he felt extremely relieved and even a little proud on his face.

I am not afraid of power, and I finally got to hold my head high and show off my strength!

The sergeant next to him suddenly punched his palm, as if he had suddenly realized something. He said excitedly:

"I see! So that's how it is. Fortunately you reminded us, otherwise we would have missed something big!"

The major was confused and said in his heart:

No, why are you joining in the fun? What do you understand? Can you two just talk straight? Don't you think this way of communicating makes me look stupid?

(Ger: I am confused too)

The female navy named Kiki rolled her eyes at the not-so-bright officer with a look of contempt, then walked aside and picked up the Den Den Mushi and started dialing.

The naval sergeant at the side was more considerate of his superiors, so he took him aside and explained in a low voice:

"My Lord Major, please stop it. Do you still remember the bounty hunter who became famous in the East China Sea some time ago?"

Seeing the major's confused expression, the sergeant knew that he certainly didn't know that his superior didn't care about anything else except making money.

"The mysterious bounty hunter who is called "Death God" by the East China Sea pirates and underground organizations. According to the known information, no one knows what the Death God looks like, and no one knows whether the Death God is a group of people or just one person. At present, we only know that all the pirate groups that encountered the Death God in the East China Sea were destroyed, without exception, and the methods were extremely brutal and basically no one was left alive!"

The sergeant glanced at Gel fearfully, and seeing that he was not paying attention to this side, he continued:

"In just two months, the pirates in the East China Sea have been frightened to death. Now all the pirates in the East China Sea are terrified at the mention of him. The name of the Pirate Hunter Death has even surpassed our navy in deterrence in the East China Sea!"

"The seniors at the headquarters are also very interested in this and want to see if they can recruit him to join the navy. Didn't the headquarters issue an order at the meeting at the beginning of the month? Anyone who finds someone who looks like a Grim Reaper must report it to the headquarters immediately."

The sergeant nodded at the pirate's head on the ground.

"Well, most of these pirate heads disappeared after encountering the bounty hunter Death in the East China Sea some time ago."

Having said this, if the major still doesn't understand, then he would have grown a head in vain.

"So, the young man in front of me who brought two sacks of heads to exchange for the bounty is most likely the legendary bounty hunter 'Death'?"

The sergeant nodded with a look of satisfaction.

"S~"

The major secretly thanked his luck that his subordinates reminded him in time.

The man in front of him was young, capable, ruthless to pirates, and appreciated by several bigwigs in the headquarters. At this time, the number of pirates had increased sharply due to the words spoken by the Pirate King Roger before his death. In order to deal with the chaos, the Navy and the World Government were promoting and recruiting talents on a large scale.

Oh my god! Thinking this way, it really is the right time, right place, and right people!

If he really agrees to join the navy, he will probably start at the rank of lieutenant colonel or even colonel. In order to maximize his deterrent power, he will most likely be stationed at the exit of the Grand Line from the four seas. If he kills pirates so fiercely, wouldn't he be promoted to brigadier general or even lieutenant general after accumulating military merits for two or three years? If he continues to guard the entrance of the Grand Line, won't he become his immediate superior in the future? !

"Oh my god! What am I doing? I was just thinking about cheating my future boss out of money!"

The major was shocked by his own analysis and imagination. If he was hated, he would have to fight the pirates on the front line. His martial arts had already degenerated, and he would die on the battlefield!

The major's forehead was covered with sweat. He quickly picked up the seal on the table and stamped it. Then he pretended nothing had happened and picked up the thermos cup, choosing to drink water tactically.

Gel had been standing nearby, using his Observation Haki to eavesdrop on their conversation, and finally understood why these three marines could have so much drama.

He thought that a few sailors were jealous of such a large bounty and were planning to find ways to kill him and then swallow up the property. If that was the case, Gel would not surrender. Some sailors would inevitably die if he fought his way out, and he would definitely be put on the bounty list. Although he was not afraid, Gel was a person who was afraid of trouble. After hearing the conversation between the two, Gel wanted to laugh. He did not expect that the navy actually wanted to recruit him.

After understanding the whole story, Gel took out a bottle of milk tea indifferently, and while drinking it, he thought about how to respond to the navy's invitation.
