Chapter 63 Report to Headquarters
In the commander's room of the largest fortress in the East Sea, a girl with orange hair and wearing a short skirt was quietly moving a barrel and opening the secret box in this room.
The girl couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement as soon as she saw the corner of an old map by Chen Lao: "Great, it's the navigation chart for the Great Voyage Route."
But as soon as the girl opened up this map, she found it to be a false joy, and her face fell at the sight of a big clown mark on it.
"This is Captain Buggy... the Buggy known as the Unkillable. Does he have the map?" The girl muttered to herself, her focus so intense that she didn't even notice the two people standing behind her.
"Immortality? At most, it's just a split. This guy has been caught by me once." Suddenly, a voice came from the room, and the girl jumped in surprise, instinctively picking up the long stick in her hand, but was restrained by the green-haired woman who appeared out of nowhere beside her, one hand binding her, while white strips wrapped around her body.
"Snow?"
"Don't worry, you will gradually lose the strength to resist." As soon as Monet finished speaking, the girl indeed opened her eyes and fell to the ground limply.
"Who are you?" The girl asked weakly, the recent snow seemed to have drained her energy.
"We'd like to ask who you are. There aren't many thieves brave enough to steal from the largest fortress in Donghai, especially since this is a naval base." Mona licked her lips.
"Are you Navy?" The girl recalled the rumors in this town, looked at the two men's faces and suddenly felt a wave of disgust: "The Navy in this town is as despicable as pirates."
"It seems you need some punishment." Monet was about to step forward when Hobodi grabbed her hand: "Forget it, let her go!"
"Oh?" Mona gazed at Hoboldi suspiciously, gradually releasing the girl's hand. The girl looked at Mona warily, then curiously at Hoboldi, before suddenly dashing between them and escaping with a small clown Baki symbol flag.
"Commander, you don't seem like the kind of man who would do something like this." Monet's expression was somewhat unhappy, as if a toy he had been holding onto had suddenly flown away.
"Now is the time to find a naval officer below Moncada's rank. After all, we are outsiders and have already killed Moncada; it could become an unclear situation that might turn into a rebellion."
"This reason is hardly convincing."
The two men left the commander's office and walked down the corridor. Earlier, a naval officer had witnessed their behavior, and soon a middle-aged man with a naval cap and an eight-character beard led a team to block their way.
"But isn't that Commander Hobodi from the 76th Branch?"
"Huh?"
"Thanks for taking down Monka's long-standing oppression on our base, everyone - salute!"
"Yes!"
After a naval salute, the middle-aged man with an eight-character beard also began this time's purpose, puzzled and said: "I am the lieutenant colonel of this base. What is going on about Captain Hobadi's false claim of military merit when he arrested Monka?"
"Is the body of 'Bai Ji' Kuo, who was promoted and arrested three years ago by Monk Ka, still there?"
"No, this executed pirate would have been buried in the naval cemetery, and by now he's probably nothing but bleached bones." The middle-aged branch captain shook his head.
"If that's the case, then I don't have any evidence for the time being." Hobodi spread his hands: "But it won't take long before we do, even if the fake goods brought back by Zan Gao, the vice captain of the Black Cat Pirates, aren't enough. The fact that the real captain, Kuro, is still at large is also a fact."
"No, even if that's the case, although we're very grateful you saved Sheltz Town, reporting to HQ...," said the middle-aged branch chief with some hesitation.
"Monkha has been oppressing this island for so long, I just happened to meet him, it doesn't count as interference, does it?"
"But—"
"Alright, where is the intelligence room? I'll go report!"
Hobadi and Commander Zhong walked into the intelligence room, where Commander Zhong picked up the phone bug and started dialing the Navy Headquarters number.
"Hello, this is Navy Headquarters."
"Yes... yes! I am Lieutenant Colonel Mori, the branch head of the naval base in Yozba Island, Chelz Town, and now I'm going to accuse Colonel Monka of abusing his power and oppressing the good people on this island..."
"Alright, so what's the charge? You must have a telefax photophone bug on your end too?"
"What evidence?" Commander Mori was taken aback. Next to him, Lieutenant Hodges snatched the phone: "This is Lieutenant Hodges of the Navy Headquarters. Everything Commander Mori just said is true. I've already arrested and imprisoned Monka. Send someone to escort him to headquarters."
"Huh, already locked up in prison?" Some noisy voices came from the other end of the line. Suddenly, the phone bug's simulated transformation changed into a sunglasses-wearing bald phone bug, and the voice also transformed from the previous one to a familiar-sounding Hobodi.
"Hey, Hobody! It's been two years since we last met. You come out and make such a big move? That's the highest-ranking officer of the East Sea Base!"
At the sound of this voice, Hobbit's face was stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed: "Is it Branagh?"
"That's right, Hobodi is more rational. Although you are now the captain of this department, it's unprecedented to privately kill the colonel of another department without evidence. Moreover, you're from the 76th department, and your superiors are also very dissatisfied with what you've done, so be cautious for now!"
"Everyone in this town is a witness, and you'll understand once you arrive. Also, Bran New, please help me apply to the Warlord of Warring States on my behalf, I want to enter the Great Navigation to maintain justice. Two years of military training with me was also for this purpose."
"You really mean to go on like this?" Brannew wiped sweat from his face.
"Otherwise, I would use another method. The retired Zeff, the great general of the "Pirate Hitmen", had once invited me to join him, and with that method, it is also possible to enter the Grand Line. Would the Shichibukai be pleased to see this?"
"Alright... I'll submit the report for you. But whether it's approved or not isn't up to me, okay? It's only because of our old friendship that I'm even submitting this kind of report." Brannagh said with a tone full of helplessness.
"Hmm, and about Captain Koby, tell him personally that I met his grandson Monkey D. Luffy on this island, and he's even a pirate! Let's see what he thinks!" Instinctively, Hopper felt that Captain Koby probably wouldn't be happy to hear that his own grandson had become a pirate...
This dim-witted rubber boy will become one of the "Worst Generation" in the future, I wonder what kind of thoughts Captain, who is both a naval hero and a grandfather, would have.
"Alright." On the other side, Bran New quietly took note of the words and then said: "By the way, Hoboldy, I'll let you know something in advance. Fuyinix left our department some time ago, and if nothing unexpected happens, she should have gone to Donghai."
"What is she doing in Donghai?" Hoboldi was taken aback.
"Of course it's the famous East Sea Food Festival and you."
"Really? Then come on! This news isn't bad either."
"Hey, hey, it seems like things have been heating up between you two since I gave you her phone number. But that's a good thing for both of you. After the impression of Gail disappeared from my mind and also from Bellygood and Pengen's minds, she still looks like a great woman."
"What? Blanche, what are you talking about? I haven't been in touch with her for a year and eight months. Where did this underground romance come from? That woman came over, and all I did was thank her for the inspiration she gave me to "return to life" a year and a half ago."
After Hobadi, he chatted with Brannagh for a while, inquiring about the big things that had happened in the past year and a half, and then hung up the phone.
In the evening, Pink Hair Glasses held the phone bug in the communication and conveyed his grandfather's gratitude as well as a request to fulfill Kabi's dream.
Under the sunset, pink hair and pink hair are staring at each other.
"Do you still want to join the navy?"
"Yes! Catching those bad guys is my dream!" Kobi said with a serious salute.
"Bad guy... then you punch me in the face."
With a lithe and agile body, he darted towards Hobbit.
Bang!
"You're still far off. Mori Kōsei, are you willing to take this kid in? I won't."
"Hmm, although I've been on a pirate ship for two years, we already understand the specific circumstances." Mori walked to Koby who was lying on the ground: "Our companions are killed by pirates in large numbers every day, don't think of the Marines as that easy."
"That's also to say—" Kebi's face couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression.
"You have been approved for enlistment."
"Yes!"
Hobodi quietly walked away, now the Donghai base has nothing to do with him. Next, as long as he captures Kuroko who is under his nose and reports it to the headquarters, the credit for breaking the largest fortress in Donghai and capturing Kuroko will all be his.
The navy will even go so far as to lavish praise and promotion on this officer in order to cover up his unseemly behavior.
"Monet, let's go back!"
"But anyway, Commander and Koby are just like a father-son pair." Mona said with an intentionally wicked tone.
Hobbit's face was expressionless, and he pulled out a portrait from his bosom.
"Have you seen this girl? This is a portrait of her when she was fourteen two years ago. She should be sixteen now."
Monet was puzzled and couldn't figure out why the host would suddenly ask this question. He shook his head, looking at a portrait of a girl with a ponytail, her face deep in thought.
"If I had to say who has a relationship with me in this world, it would be only her."
"Oh?"
