"It's Sergeant Hana."
When Moss saw the reconnaissance team appearing, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put down the gun in his hand, and said, "Has the support finally arrived?"
Seeing Moss and others lowering their firearms, the members of the investigation team looked at each other and lowered their firearms in astonishment.
Seeing this scene, Sergeant Hana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sergeant Moss, how was the battle? Are there any other survivors besides you?"
"The colonel and lieutenant colonel were all killed, and there are probably less than a hundred people left." Moss spoke slowly, his tone a little dull.
Although Hana had already expected it, when he heard that there were less than a hundred people left, his expression changed and he said: "The losses are so heavy... Where is the Creek Pirates?"
"Well."
Moss hiccuped and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure, but there should be dozens of people left. You guys came just in time. Join us to annihilate the rest."
When these words were spoken, the air suddenly became frozen.
Hana's brain couldn't turn around for a while, and he was stunned in place. Wasn't the navy completely defeated and there were less than a hundred people left? Why is it that the navy is chasing the pirates, and there are only a few dozen of them left!
Several other members of the investigation team also looked stunned, and even thought they were hallucinating.
"Are you a reconnaissance team? I see... Colonel and the others haven't gone ashore yet." Moss looked at Hana and others and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Haas, go back and report to the colonel and ask the support troops to come over. .”
Hana looked at Moss blankly and said: "Sergeant Moss, what exactly is this..."
"That's it..."
Moss quickly explained the situation of the battle, and finally added with a hint of shock: "Although it is a bit unbelievable, it is the fact."
Haas and the members of the reconnaissance team next to him were all petrified at this moment.

Navy Headquarters.
In a huge and spacious office, Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan of the headquarters was pacing the room with a pipe in his mouth and a heavy expression on his face, asking: "Is there any latest news?"
"not yet… "
A naval colonel next to him said solemnly: "However, support from the 170th Branch should be arriving soon, but the remaining strength of the 170th Branch alone may not be able to solve the problem."
"Really, there's enough trouble here on the Grand Line, and there's even more trouble in the East China Sea. The colonels of branches 170 and 171 are there, but they can't even suppress a single pirate group. What a bunch of trash."
A rear admiral sitting on the couch spoke with an unhappy expression.
Huo Shaoshan exhaled a puff of smoke and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Although the pirates in the four seas are very weak, their range is too large. There are more than 300 branches in the East China Sea alone. It is impossible for each branch to send one A powerful colonel from our headquarters is in charge."
The difference between the Grand Line and the four seas is not only that all powerful pirates will converge on the Grand Line, but also the size of the sea area.
Although the Grand Line is not too small, there are only a few routes in total, and the total number of islands in the first half is not many. Therefore, collisions between pirates and navies, and conflicts between pirates and pirates, occur almost every day. .
In the Four Seas sea area, it is normal for a navy branch to be unable to catch a group of pirates for several months, because the sea area is so large that it is impossible to find anyone once they escape.
Because of this, even if a few powerful colonels and major generals are sent from the headquarters, it will be of no avail. Looking for those pirates is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it can only be a waste of time.
Fortunately, the navy in the East China Sea is weak, and the pirates are also weak.
At least to some extent, the Four Seas are much more peaceful than the Grand Line.
"But we need to improve the quality a little bit. In this situation where two branches are located in the same sea area, at least one colonel must be able to show some skills."
The major general who spoke before said dissatisfiedly.
It would be great if he could gather all the pirates in the East China Sea. He could deal with them all by himself and be clean for a while. It would be really troublesome to take charge of the East China Sea.
"It is indeed necessary to be promoted to some officers of comparable strength. Whoever can catch the most troublesome pirates in the East China Sea will have no problem being promoted to colonel."
A major general next to him echoed casually.
Huo Shaoshan groaned and said: "There is no problem in promoting someone who is capable... Here is the latest news."
The phone rang, and the call came from Donghai Branch Base No. 6.
Huo Shaoshan took the phone call and hummed twice. His narrowed eyes suddenly opened a crack, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Eh? Did this happen?"
"...Well, I understand."
After confirming again, Huo Shaoshan put down the phone, the heavy expression on his face softened, and he took a hard puff on his pipe.
The major generals and colonels nearby also heard the voice on the phone, and they all looked surprised. After a while, someone said: "The strength of this pirate hunter who can destroy the Klick Pirates by himself is extraordinary. "
"It's a pity that he is also a guy who is greedy for money and unwilling to devote himself to justice. Otherwise, it would be better to let him replace the colonel of the 171st branch."
Several major generals and colonels spoke one after another.
Huo Shaoshan took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said: "Actually, it's not bad. Even if you don't want to be a navy, pirate hunters can still have some deterrence, but... this time the deterrence is a little too great. The navy’s prestige has suffered a certain loss.”
The major general next to him gave a wry smile when he heard this and said: "It's too late. The East China Sea is too far away from us. It's impossible to prevent the spread of the news. Now the news may have spread everywhere. We can only let the government report it in the newspapers. The content has been slightly changed.”
"It can only be the."
Huo Shaoshan took another puff of cigarette and sighed: "It's a pity for such a person."
In recent years, it is not that there have been outstanding pirate hunters like Ron, but some have stayed in the original sea areas without making any progress, and some have disappeared from the public after entering the Grand Line.
After all.
Pirate hunters are not like pirates, who have to face the pursuit of the navy and fierce conflicts with other peers every day. Unlike the navy, they can get guidance in terms of strength, and can continuously perform tasks and fight against pirates.
Pirate hunters often get a bounty and then run away to enjoy themselves. Repeatedly, they only experience a few battles in a year. How can they be strong
If Ron joins the navy, with that kind of talent and strength, and receiving some training, he may soon become an outstanding naval officer.
But if you refuse, that should be the end of it.
Huo Shaoshan felt a little regretful that he could not let a talented person join the navy, but he quickly put it behind him and stopped thinking about it.
