The best kind of pirate hunter

Just as Hermes was studying the future direction, the convoy suddenly stopped.

They came to the first checkpoint, where they had to collect tolls. There were various gangs, gangsters, bandits, etc. running around. There were a lot of people, but they were quickly resolved.

It shows that the chamber of commerce that Hermes is following still has a lot of money. No wonder the fees are so expensive.

But what happened next was even more eye-opening for Hermes.

Within two days, the convoy encountered at least six bandit groups, five pirate groups, and eleven tax collections by state agencies, not even reaching the eastern naval branch.

There were almost conflicts several times, but in the end they were resolved by the leader.

Some use force, some use money. After all, this caravan is large or small, with fifty or sixty escort teams.

Finally on the third day, the caravan arrived in the eastern region.

The environment here is much peaceful compared to the west. Although there is some stealing, killing, killing and looting, compared to the west, it is simply a paradise.

The biggest reason may be that there is a navy branch here, and no force dares to take the initiative to provoke it. After all, the power behind the navy is earth-shattering.

It can be said that the current Prodence Kingdom is relatively safe and stable in this area, while other places are in chaos or war.

Hermes left the convoy. He planned to stay in the east for a while to see if he could sneak into the naval branch. There might be unexpected gains inside, such as the Sixth Form.

During this period, you can also hunt pirates and bandits in the surrounding area in exchange for bounties, and at the same time hone yourself.

"Takoyaki, thirty Baileys, five or six skewers."

"Udon noodles never use overnight noodles. They are purely handmade and only cost fifty beli for a bowl."

Walking on this bustling street, there are vendors shouting on both sides, and the pubs are also overcrowded.

Hermes walked towards the naval base while eating takoyaki. He would exchange the bounty first, and then find a hotel to relax.

The entire naval branch is located at the mouth of the coast. It is not very grand, but it has an inexplicable sense of righteousness. You can see many sailors in uniform or resting coming and going.

For civilians, the navy can really give them a sense of security.

"stop."

"This is a naval camp, no approaching."

When approaching the gate of the camp, two sailors standing guard came forward with serious faces and looked at Hermes with vigilance in their eyes.

Based on this, we can see that the commander of this naval base is rigorous and not the corrupt and incompetent naval general in the anime.

"I am a pirate hunter, here to exchange for the bounty."

Hermes was very calm and handed the package in his hand to the sailor.

"Pirate hunter?"

The sailor on the left glanced up and down at Hermes, with scrutiny in his eyes and a slight sense of superiority.

The sailor on the right took the package and frowned slightly as he looked at the heads inside. He did not suffer from nausea and vomiting like the new recruits. Obviously, these two sailors on guard had some experience.

It's two corporals.

"Please wait a moment, I need to confirm."

Spando was too dissatisfied. The reward was only 4.6 million. The two corporals did not know each other at all, so they could only return to the base to check the reward.

"Can."

Hermes shrugged and still stood where he was.

As the sailors on the right left, the air suddenly became quiet. Thanks to the navy coming in and out of the base, it didn't look awkward.

Hermes looked at the camp gate in silence. Although he couldn't see anything, he could vaguely hear the sound of training inside. If he was lucky, there must be what he wanted inside.

"Sir, may I ask who the highest commander you have here is?"

Hermes began to extract some information and start to invade here tomorrow morning. Logically speaking, an organization's training usually takes place in the morning, which is when he stole the army.

"Why do you, a pirate hunter, ask these questions?"

The corporal had an expressionless face and stood straight.

"If nothing else happens, I will come here very frequently in the future."

Looking at Hermes with a smile on his face, the corporal was silent for a moment and said, "Our highest officer is Captain Bastan Yogurt. Because of the captain, the eastern part of the Kingdom of Prodence is so peaceful. The surrounding pirate mountains

Thieves don’t dare to act recklessly.”

Hermes could clearly feel the corporal's pride and admiration.

"Captain."

Hermes murmured in his heart, to be able to become the top officer of a naval branch is in the new world in the second half of the Grand Line. Not to mention the size of this naval fortress, just being able to gain a foothold is already remarkable.

I should know the six moves, but I don’t know that the props are not domineering.

If this captain has the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing, his next actions will be a bit troublesome.

Compared with admirals, lieutenant generals, major generals, colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors, which are the mainstays of the navy, captains may not be enough, but in some remote low-end games, captains are still huge, and even mid-range games can be said to be superior.

words.

Especially in the Navy, a magical organization, there are always some things that are beyond common sense. For example, military rank and combat effectiveness are not linked.

Maybe this captain is just a captain, but his combat effectiveness is likely to have reached the level of major, lieutenant colonel, or colonel. This kind of existence is not uncommon in the navy.

The most famous among them is Ten Thousand Years Lieutenant General Monkey D. Garp, whose combat prowess is still a mystery.

This is just based on pure physical skills. If you add some weird devil fruit abilities, it will be even more difficult to judge.

Hermes only hopes that this captain must not be knowledgeable and have mastered the six moves. The more, the better.

At the same time, he will personally guide his subordinates in training from time to time, so that it will be more convenient for him to steal his lessons.

I just hope that reality is as beautiful as imagined and not so cruel that I can't help myself.

"You are very good. You actually hunted down Spando, the captain of the Broadsword Pirates, who had a bounty of 4.6 million. The bounty was 1 million Baileys."

soon.

The corporal who went to confirm the reward came out.

The reason why he said this is because Hermes looked very young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old. On the sea, some strong men were already famous in the sea at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and even stood on the top of the pyramid.

.

But such people are rare, almost one in ten thousand.

Among all living beings, most of them in this age group are ordinary.

In this corporal's view, Hermes was already very powerful and had great potential if he could hunt down a pirate with a bounty of 4.6 million at this age.

It doesn't matter what method you use, in short, you can kill your opponent, that's what you're good at.

Sometimes luck and luck are also a type of strength.

Hermes took the one million beli and was not stupid enough to ask why there was only one million beli. This kind of thing had been tacitly understood in his previous life.

I have never seen a pig run away, but I have also seen a pig spring.

"Interested in joining the Navy?"

Seeing Hermes about to leave, the corporal extended an olive branch.

The navy is very willing to accept people with certain talents like this.

If it was the year he just traveled through time, Hermes would have agreed without even thinking about it, but now he can only respond reluctantly. He was rejected too many times that year.

It's not that he is narrow-minded, but that he no longer needs it now.

He does not have the lofty ideal of saving all sentient beings and spreading the light of justice throughout the world. This great mission should be left to others.

Freedom is what he pursues.

In my previous life, I was depressed for a long time and my heart was dark. In this life, I have to have clear thoughts and do whatever I want to do.

Otherwise, why travel through time? To continue to be poor and live unsatisfactoryly?

"Thank you, but I prefer freedom."

Hermes turned around and waved, leaving a handsome figure behind and gradually disappeared.
