Newspapers for each branch of the Navy are ordered together throughout the year.
It is the largest customer of World Economic News.
So after Saitama apologized repeatedly, the news bird didn't dare to say anything more. After giving the newspaper to Saitama, he flew away with his mouth aggrieved.
Saitama scratched his head with a smile and opened the newspaper.
All newspapers in the world are monopolized by the big newsbirds, the Morgans, but the news they report every day is indeed news that is closely related to the world.
Both the navy and pirates need the only source of information and propaganda on the sea.
certainly
For ordinary pirates, they may be more interested in the reward order that comes with buying a newspaper.
The bounty order issued by the navy can be said to be a barometer of the change of power among pirates. Which newcomers are outstanding and which monsters cannot be provoked. Through the amount of the bounty offered by the navy, everything is clear and clear.
After reading the news in the newspaper, Saitama took the opportunity to read the latest reward order issued by the navy.
There, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance...
"Portcas D. Ace..."
Saitama read the name on the reward order: "The captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, 'Fire Fist Ace', the reward is 550 million Baileys..."
…
at the same time
Garp, who has not yet returned to the Navy Headquarters, received a call from Navy Marshal Sengoku.
"Explain it, Garp!"
On the other end of the phone, Marshal Sengoku's anger had obviously reached its limit: "Your son has become a revolutionary, and now your grandson has become Whitebeard's son... If you are not a naval hero, I will personally send you to a military court!!!" "
"Ah, don't be so angry, Warring States..."
On the other end of the phone, Garp laughed nonchalantly while eating senbei: "It's not a big deal. Ace has become Whitebeard's son. So as Ace's grandfather, I, Whitebeard You should also call me daddy, hahaha..."
“…”
Warring States was speechless for a moment, but he didn't expect this old guy to be so thick-skinned.
But just saying that, Warring States, who has been with Garp for decades, certainly understands that Garp can still distinguish between such a big issue of right and wrong.
Just click until there is a warning phone number.
Finally sighing, Zeng Guo hung up the phone helplessly: "Garp... your family, please don't cause any more trouble for me..."
Looking at the phone bug closed his eyes.
Garp's original hearty laughter gradually disappeared, and his wrinkled old face seemed to look more haggard.
Ace…
Why don't you listen to grandpa...
If I see you on the sea again, what should I do
…
For Saitama, this is just an episode.
When Ace becomes a pirate, Garp will feel the dilemma of loyalty and be heartbroken, but Saitama has no special feelings for Ace.
Not friends, not relatives.
It's just... someone I know.
It doesn't matter if you become a pirate, if you commit a crime, just catch him.
The bottom line is to kill people.
If he kills people at will, he will be treated as a weirdo. Even if he knows him, he will attack without mercy.
The sea breeze blew against my cheeks, tickling me very comfortably.
Just when Saitama was about to simply lean here and sleep, the navigator on the deck below suddenly shouted to Saitama: "Mr. Commodore! There is a warship approaching from the rear. Judging from the flag signal, they should be the ship of the headquarters! We need it! Want to get in touch?"
Headquarters
Saitama was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it's too much trouble, let them pass."
With Saitama's order, the navigator stopped using semaphores to communicate with the warships behind.
But Saitama didn't want to meet the other party, but the other party took the initiative to come to the door...
"Hey! Navy over there!"
The two ships were sailing side by side. A red-haired man with a scar on his face on the opposite deck shouted to the navigator here: "I am Captain of the Navy Headquarters - 'Iron Fist Hobody'. Which branch are you from?" I'm escorting a prisoner with a bounty on his head, but some emergencies suddenly occur, can you help guard this guy for a while? I'll be back around tomorrow!"
Although the current top officer of Branch 153 is also a captain, the branch and the headquarters are different.
The positions are the same, but in fact they are about three levels different.
A group of people did not dare to express their opinions and could only wait for Saitama, the highest ranking person on the ship, to reply.
Jumping off the mast, Saitama glanced at Hobodie.
No tension, no nerves...
The lieutenant is not yet qualified to wear civilian clothes while on duty, but he is dressed fashionably and is probably on vacation...
really
Having urgent tasks is just an excuse.
"No."
Saitama immediately shook his head: "It's too troublesome, let me refuse."
"Hey, man, don't be so inhumane..."
Hobodi shrugged, shook his head with a sigh and said: "Okay, okay, I'll tell the truth... Today was originally my day off, but I happened to meet a bounty criminal on the way, so I just took it easy. Caught it... But today I was going on a date with my girlfriend, and it was a bit weird to have a pirate by my side... "
Before he finished speaking, Hobodi was suddenly stunned when he looked at Saitama's iconic bald head and dead fish eyes.
"wait wait wait… "
Hobodi asked tentatively: "If I remember correctly... you seem to be Brigadier General Saitama from Rogge Town?"
Saitama blinked: "Ah, it's me, what's the matter?"
"Ha! It's nothing, but I have admired your name for a long time!"
Hobodi suddenly became excited and looked at Saitama up and down: "It's really amazing. It is said that countless big pirates have died in your hands over the years. Even Admiral 'Crick', who once owned the largest fleet in the East China Sea, was killed by you. I single-handedly sunk fifty of his warships. Speaking of which, it was only thanks to you that I caught that wandering bereaved dog today... "
Saitama didn't speak, just tilted his head and thought...
Crick... who is it
Hobodi jumped over from his ship very enthusiastically, took Saitama's hand and said: "It's rare to meet you here today, like a copper wall guarding the entrance of the great shipping route! Please come with me no matter what." Have a meal!”
Saitama was a little unhappy: "But don't you still want to go on a date..."
"You can date anytime, but you, the benchmark of the new generation of justice navy, are not easy to meet..."
Hobodi talked for a long time and finally noticed the reluctance on Saitama's face. After touching his chin and thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "Of course, I'm treating you! Please feel free to eat as much as you want!"
Saitama's eyes lit up at that moment: "You are so generous! In this case, we won't be polite!"
