"What should I do?" Ian blinked and pretended to be stupid.
Smog puffed out a puff of cigar smoke, and said, "Don't pretend to be with me, you can see for yourself, because of how much trouble your appearance has caused Rogge Town?"
Ian turned his head and looked around, and saw that the huge square was covered with bloodstains and bomb craters, the execution platform had also collapsed, and the injured pirates and marines were sitting on the ground moaning in a low voice. The sweaty doctors ran around to treat the wounded, which was a tragic scene after the war.
"It's not my fault, is it?" Ian spread his hands and said, "These are all made by pirates!"
"But you shouldn't have killed so many people!" Da Siqi walked over from the side and said loudly to Ian.
Ian gave her a blank look: "It's their own fault!"
"you… "
At this time, Smoker said: "Da Siqi, don't be so naive, since you have become an official navy, you must get used to this kind of thing, if you still hold this kind of compassionate attitude, when the time comes you It might be killed by the pirates first!"
Da Siqi felt the coldness in Smoker's tone, and was speechless for a moment, and finally turned away angrily.
Smoker shook his head. Young sailors are like this. Under the ideological education of the navy, they are full of justice and passion when they first come out. Only when they have experienced more things will they realize the cruelty of this world. Whether it is a pirate or a navy, killing or being killed is fate.
He looked at Ian again, and said, "At first, I wanted to arrest you, but since you didn't escape, then forget it, as you said, I don't care about the pirates, it's their own fault, But you destroyed the execution platform, this is always a fact, right? Now you have two choices, you can either pay compensation, or be responsible for repairing the execution platform! But you can only do it yourself!"
"Do it yourself?" Ian said in surprise, "I don't know how to do carpentry, so you let me do it myself?"
"Oh, so you plan to pay compensation?" Smoker said.
As a result, Ian cautiously asked first: "Well... can I ask first, if compensation is required, how much should I pay?"
"At least fifty million Baileys!" Smoker reported a number.
Ian immediately jumped up: "Fifty million!? You want fifty million for a broken wooden frame? Why don't you grab it!?"
"It's definitely worth the price!" Smoker said sternly, "You have to know, this is the execution platform where the Pirate King Roger was executed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a historic site. Do you know how many tourists will be lost during the period of repairing the scaffold?"
Fuck, 50 million, it's not enough to add Bucky's and Creek's bounties together!
When it came to the bounty issue, Ian suddenly remembered, ran to the dead Creek, took off the glove inlaid with diamonds on his fist, wiped off the blood on it, and stuffed it in his pocket. It's money too!
Smoker looked at his actions and didn't make a sound. After all, Ian killed Crick. He couldn't deny this, so the reward must be given to Ian. Not to mention, Crick's property Ian There is also the power of disposal.
Although the Navy has captured many members of the Creek Pirates, there are also many people who have escaped. The Navy has dispatched warships to the sea to hunt down these remnants. I believe that under such a double blow, the dissolution of the Creek Pirates is already a foregone conclusion.
Just as Smoker was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, he saw Ian running back, and said, "I want to remind you, you won't be able to pay for Creek's bounty and property together!"
"I know!" Ian nodded and said, "So I don't plan to pay, I'd rather do carpentry!"
While talking, Ian took out the proof documents when Bucky was caught, handed it to Smoker and said, "By the way, give me this bounty together!"
"..." Smoker was speechless for a while, took a look at the document, and found that the Bucky Pirates were also captured by the guy in front of him, that is to say, this time the Navy will pay a bounty of more than 20 million to Ian .
Such a rich guy actually chose to do carpentry in order not to lose money? This really left Smoker at a loss for what to say.
If Ian knew Smoker's thoughts, he would definitely snort. What are you kidding, you want me to pay? I am so poor that I want to grab money. I just thought about repairing a wooden frame. If tens of thousands of Baileys can handle it, then I will do it. As long as I can get Smoker to give me my bounty , who would have thought Smoker would be 50 million as soon as he opened his mouth, so Ian didn't plan to accompany him.
Isn't it carpentry work? Don't blame me for the crooked repairs!
It is estimated that Smoker also thought of this, and after a long time of headache, he opened his mouth and said: "Well, I will give you a third choice, you stay at the naval base in Rogge Town, and serve as a swordsmanship instructor for a year. The navy is responsible for repairing it, what do you think?"
Ian looked at Smoker in bewilderment, wondering why he would suddenly throw out such a condition.
In fact, he didn't understand Smoker's current situation. Although Smoker came to Luoge Town to be the person in charge, in fact, he was transferred from the Navy Headquarters to Donghai. In the navy, Ge is a problem child, very assertive, and rarely obeys the orders of his superiors. The navy also took this opportunity to keep him away from the headquarters, so that he could be out of sight and out of mind.
Under such circumstances, the manpower brought by Smoker can be imagined. Those elite naval soldiers who escorted him on the warship will return at that time, and the only subordinates Smoker can really use are Da It was just Si Qi and a few other people, and he had just arrived in Rogge Town, and what he saw was the shrinking performance of the navy here when facing the pirates, which made him feel that these people were useless.
The scene of Ian beheading Creek made him realize that the pirate hunter in front of him is a good swordsmanship master, so he suddenly felt moved and wanted to keep Ian as a swordsmanship instructor. There are masters available, and secondly, Ian can also use Ian to train these naval soldiers in Rogge Town well, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In fact, this kind of idea that I can't help but want to pull into the navy when I see a good seedling is not only Karp, but also many officers in the navy. Pirates, if they can find a way to get into the navy, they will definitely try it, so let alone Ian who has the identity of a pirate hunter, even a real pirate can sometimes be flexible: Qi Wuhai is This way!
Hearing Smoker's words, Ian shook his head desperately: "One year is too long, don't do it! I'd better go to carpentry!"
"So how long can you take it?" Smoker asked.
Ian thought about it, and found that he really needed to stay in Rogue Town for a while. Firstly, he wanted to wait for Karp to come back and give him the letter written by Ace. By the way, he asked Karp if he could help. Secondly, It's been so long since I've been out, and I don't know what happened to Master Koshiro and Solonguina. While I'm still in the East China Sea, I might have to write a letter to report that I'm safe or something.
Since he wants to stay for a period of time, it is not a problem to agree to Smoker's conditions. What Smoker said is to be a swordsmanship instructor, not to join the navy by himself, so he is also free, and he can leave whenever he wants.
Before going to sea, Master Koshiro asked Ian if he wanted to join the navy. At that time, Ian shook his head and denied it. The navy is indeed powerful, but to be honest, he has too little relationship with the navy. After joining the navy, Even if you can win a good military rank and status by virtue of your strength, you will also lose your freedom. If the higher-ups give you an order to station yourself at a base on any island, you may stay there for many years, and everyone will be useless by then. up!
Because of the card system, Ian has to maintain his freedom. He needs to constantly challenge powerful opponents to gain experience and upgrade. At the same time, he also needs to find ways to make money and draw cards to increase his strength.
Although it is not necessary to completely rely on the system on the road to becoming stronger, the system is a good support after all. Ian's current idea is to learn domineering as soon as possible, because if there is no mistake, after learning domineering, you should It will be transformed into the corresponding thought by the system, and it is a thought that belongs to the basic value! In this way, even if it is difficult to increase the card attributes in the later stage, Ian's limit on the energy value will be much smaller.
Since you want to keep your body free, then pirate hunters and pirates are the best choices, but Ian also understands that if you are a pirate, you will inevitably be hunted down by the navy. When you are not strong enough, you will provoke Shanghai A huge force like the Army is courting death, and he doesn't expect to have the luck of Luffy and the others, who can save themselves from danger every time.
Ian is still quite confused about his long-term goals. He doesn't think about becoming the One Piece, looking for Roger's big secret treasure, etc. Those things are too far away, but he sees the short-term goals very clearly.
If wars will still happen in the future, it means that the turmoil of the times is coming, and maybe he will join a certain side at that time, but whether he becomes a pirate, becomes a navy, or becomes a revolutionary army, there is a The premise is that he must have enough strength to protect himself. Now he has no qualifications to stand in any team at all.
After all, people live in the world for nothing more than survival.
Thinking of this, Ian's thoughts became clearer, and he felt that the relationship with the navy should not be too rigid, so he raised a finger and said, "Well, one month! I will be your swordsman for this month. Instructor, so let’s stop mentioning the execution platform compensation, okay?”
Smoker originally thought that one month was too short, but judging by Ian's attitude, it seemed that there was no possibility of giving in, so he nodded in agreement.
Ian snapped his fingers and said, "Cheer up, then please report the bounty first!"
Smoker didn't know what he thought of, and unconsciously looked at the naval flag flying above the base in the distance.
"Do you think it's okay to kick me out? That's okay, the bounty of the two pirates and the repair cost of the execution platform together, let's give you a headache before we talk about it!"
