"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and give the money!" Ian urged.
"Oh!" Mengka came back to his senses at this moment, frantically trying to go through the formalities for Ian.
However, at this moment, Mengka suddenly thought of something, stopped his movements, leaned over to Ian's side and whispered: "By the way, this... this little brother, do you know the process of receiving the bounty?"
"I don't know!" Ian shook his head and said, "But isn't it all handed over to the navy?"
"That's what I said, but you may not understand that ordinary branches can't get bounties! Our base funds are limited." Mengka explained in a low voice: "Under normal circumstances, pirate hunters will catch After the bounty offenders are handed over to a nearby naval base, they will only get a certificate of arrest, which will state who the bounty caught is, how much the bounty is, and there is also a proof of custody at the local naval base. All these things are ready After that, you only need to take these certificates and go to a larger naval base to get the bounty."
"It means that the money for the bounty will still come from the naval base, and we just need to find a larger naval base with sufficient funds?" Ian asked.
"That's what it means!" Monka nodded and said: "The closest to our larger base in the East China Sea is the naval base in Rogge Town, and there is also the naval base on Mirabelle Island, but there is a relatively large base there. Far, if you want to receive the bounty, it is best to go to Luoge Town!"
"Tsk!" Ian couldn't help smacking his lips. This situation was beyond his expectation. He thought he could claim the bounty at any naval base.
He knows Rogue Town, but where is Mirabelle Island
To be honest, after being baptized by a storm, Ian found that sailing is one of the things that really needs to be fully prepared before going out to sea. There are too many situations that you will encounter at sea. The weather is one of the reasons, and there is Food supplies, will you get sick, and even sea monsters? Don’t forget, there are sea kings in this world, although most sea kings are only in the windless zone near the great route Activities, but no one can say whether a certain Neptune will swim to the blue sea for activities, what if it meets it
He now understands why there are many isolated islands in this world, because it is too difficult to sail in this world.
Now that he heard that he had to go to Rogge Town to receive the bounty, it meant that Ian had to continue to go to sea, so he couldn't help frowning.
Mengka saw the embarrassment on his face, and lowered his voice again: "I have a suggestion here, do you want to hear it?"
"Oh, tell me?" Ian looked at him in surprise.
For this Monka, Ian can't say that he has any good feelings, but the same, he doesn't have any bad feelings. At least in his opinion, this guy can still lead soldiers to resist the Bucky Pirates, so he is still a qualified navy now. For qualified people, Ian generally does not make any comments about his likes and dislikes.
As long as he doesn't infringe on his own interests.
"You hand over the members of the Baki Pirates to me, and I will give you the bounty directly, and I won't issue you any proof of custody. Do you think this will work?" Monka asked in a low voice.
Ian immediately understood what he meant, this guy wanted to take the credit for catching Bucky for himself!
Not issuing a certificate means that the capture of the Bucky Pirates was not caused by him, the pirate hunter. It is impossible for Ian to stay in the naval base all the time, he always has to leave, and now the naval soldiers in the base Injured, injured, and dead, and did not see this scene, Mengka can completely say that he was the one who defeated and captured the Bucky Pirates.
And if Ian agrees to this deal, Monka can use all the remaining funds in the base to offset Ian's bounty.
As for the fact that some people notice that the funds are missing in the future, Mengka can completely push it to the head of the Bucky Pirates, saying that some pirates took away the money in disorder, and even directly reported the loss of the money to their superiors. For the operation of the base, the superiors will re-approve funds for them.
This guy has a good idea, isn't he doing whatever he can to get promoted
Ian could think that if he hadn't shown incredible abilities when catching Bucky and frightened him, Mengka might even be greedy for his own credit and not even give him money.
Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help squinting his eyes, lowered his head and pretended to be thinking, so as not to let Mengka discover the murderous intent in his eyes.
He hates this kind of person very much, because he feels that he is being used.
But after thinking about it, what is the purpose of catching Bucky? Isn't it just for money
Although the first ten consecutive draws have been completed, what is the purpose of Ian going to sea? He wanted to find a way to heal Kuina, and at the same time, he wanted to find a devil fruit for Kuina to make up for her loss of strength over the years of coma.
How to get devil fruit? Except for getting it by luck on the great route, the only way to buy it is to buy a devil fruit with unknown effect. The price on Roger's boat at that time, that is, the price almost twenty years ago, is probably more than that amount now.
So Ian needs a lot of money, which is why he made up his mind to be a pirate hunter when he first went to sea. Compared with being a pirate and robbing everywhere, Ian still thinks that a pirate hunter is more reliable.
Of course, there is another way, that is the world government, it seems that because there are more and more pirates with devil fruit ability, so now even the world government and the navy are consciously controlling and collecting devil fruits, they must be Yes, as long as Ian can join the navy and make great contributions, maybe he can ask for a devil fruit as a reward
There are many ways, but it must be done step by step.
Thinking of this, Ian made a decision, raised a finger and said to Monka: "Ten million! Bucky's bounty is seven million Baileys, you add three million to make up ten million for me, then Let's make a deal, you get the name and I get the benefits, if it's less than this amount, we don't talk about it!"
In fact, Ian wanted to ask for 15 million yuan. This price was the original bounty of Bucky in his impression, but he estimated that the 153 branch of Monka might not have so much money, so he called it 10 million yuan. Yes, if Monka can get it, then everyone will be happy. Not only will I have an extra three million, but I won't have to make an extra trip to Rogge Town.
However, Monka was in a dilemma. The reason why he thought of reaching a private deal with Ian just now was because he remembered that the funds in the base were just 7 million, which was the funds for maintaining the operation of the base in the second half of the year. Originally, he had already suppressed the apprehension in his heart and wanted to take a risk to make a deal with Ian, but who would have thought that Ian would add three million as soon as he opened his mouth, and now he really has no choice.
"I can't take it out!" Monka said dejectedly.
"Then there's no other way! You'd better issue a certificate to me!" Ian said regretfully. Fame doesn't matter to him, but if he can only get the same price, then Ian must have no choice but to The reputation is taken together, and the credit for capturing the Bucky Pirates can make his reputation as a pirate hunter rise faster. At that time, he can also threaten some unpopular little pirates. There are still advantages.
As for selling Monka to save face, Ian never thought about it at all. Even if a small navy second lieutenant in the East China Sea general branch has ambitions to become a leader, what does that matter to Ian
After getting the certificate, Ian checked that the amount on it was correct, flicked the paper, waved his hand and said to Mengka: "Okay, these guys are handed over to you, I'm leaving!"
After Ian finished speaking, he turned around and left the base. Monka looked at his back with dark eyes. The failure of this transaction made Mengka feel the importance of rights even more. If he was the person in charge of the base, why bother? Discussing with Ian so secretly? Just say it directly, don't say 10 million, as long as it doesn't exceed the one-year funding standard of Base 153, he can spend any amount of money...
……………
When walking through the door, Ian saw Keby who was hiding before, and waved to him.
Kebi had a look of excitement and excitement at this time. Although he didn't follow Ian in because he was afraid, he lay on his stomach at the window and watched the scene of Ian showing off his power, so when he saw Ian, he immediately became excited. He rushed in front of Ian, clenched his fists with radiant eyes and said, "Brother Ian, you...you...you are too powerful!"
He gestured incoherently: "Just now you pointed with that burning sword, and those vicious pirates obediently tied themselves up! Oh my god, I can be like you anytime, I can move my mouth. Just deter those pirates!"
Kebi's eyes were full of admiration for Ian, he had completely put himself in Ian's role, imagining that he could do this once, that would be too majestic.
Ian smiled slightly, touched the little man's pink hair, and said, "It's nothing, don't you want to be a navy in the future? As long as you can become an admiral, you can do the same."
"Really? I... I can also become an admiral!?" Kirby asked in disbelief.
"There will be such a day, as long as you don't give up!" Ian said with a smile: "However, if one day you really become a navy, then remember, to become an upright navy, don't be like Like the guy in there…”
Kebi didn't know who the guy was referring to. He couldn't hear the conversation between Ian and Monka, so he could only nod his head half-understood.
The reason why Ian said this to Kebi was because after talking with Monka, he felt that it would be easier for an upright person to gain the respect of others. There are good people in the pirates. Similarly, in the navy There will also be scum, Mengka is not honest, so Ian doesn't respect him at all, even if he is a second lieutenant of the navy, if he is not respected, others will not help him easily, knowing that Mengka wants this Ian still didn't want to help him even though he was promoted for his merits.
This is the so-called help more than others.
On the other hand, Keby, although this kid is timid and cowardly, is kind-hearted. Ian doesn't want to see him lose this nature in the future, so he gave him a piece of advice, hoping that he can become a respected person in the future.
