Chapter 3 The Treasure of Florida
The death of Colmo made the remaining pirates give up resistance and surrender.
In the office, Cass, who had been simply bandaged, was so excited that his beard turned into waves.
"Sergeant, six million pirates, this is a great achievement, you can definitely go further."
"Sergeant Cass, you must remember that this is not the credit of me alone, it is the credit of many navy officers, you also saw that it was you who caused harm to Colmo, it was you who killed Colmo, I just made a small contribution."
Kuro said righteously.
"Sergeant Kuro"
Cass was moved to tears again.
Cass is an old navy, and he has seen many people who brag about themselves after destroying a pirate group, either because of their unparalleled combat power or because of their good command of the navy superiors.
And it is too rare for someone like Kuro to admit that it is the credit of the common navy!
How glorious it is.
Such a navy must not stop here!
"I understand, Sergeant Kuro!"
Kuro nodded with satisfaction: "Then go out and count the spoils."
"Yes!"
After Cass went out, the navy was constantly carrying spoils from the pirate ship, all smiling.
Although the bounty will be reduced by 30% due to the death of Kormo, they can still get the money.
The bounty order for pirates is not simply set up for bounty hunters. The purpose of setting it up at the beginning was to stimulate the enthusiasm of the navy.
Later, the profession of bounty hunter came into being.
"Sergeant Cass, there are so many spoils, plus Kormo's head, everyone has made a great contribution this time!"
A navy grinned.
"Yes, Sergeant Cass, if I go back, I should be able to be promoted to a higher level. This is a big pirate!"
The navy said excitedly.
He is a private second class.
"Assholes, don't be so proud!"
Cass roared, "Who do you think did all this? Was it you? No, it was Sergeant Kuro! If it weren't for Sergeant Kuro who led the way, where would you get the courage to deal with that monster! You actually let your superior take the risk alone. Are you still worthy of being a sailor?"
The sailors looked guilty.
"But even so, even so,"
Cass burst into tears and shouted, "Sergeant Kuro still cares about us. He said that this credit belongs to everyone. Sergeant Kuro remembers the contribution of each of you. He was obviously injured the most and paid the most, but he still remembers us. With such a boss and such a commander, do you still have the face to care about your own credit? What about your honor as a navy!"
"Sergeant Kuro"
"Wow, Sergeant Kuro is such a good commander. I will follow Sergeant Kuro all my life!"
"Yes, with a good commander like the commander, I am willing to be a private for the rest of my life!"
"Wow, Sergeant Kuro, I will definitely work hard and will not embarrass you!"
The navy also burst into tears.
"A man with such glory as Sergeant Kuro must not just be a sergeant. We must let the East China Sea know Sergeant Kuro's name!" Cass said seriously.
"Let the East China Sea know Sergeant Kuro's name!!!"
The deck was noisy all of a sudden.
...
"What are those idiots arguing about again."
Crack.
Kuro struck a match, lit a cigarette, and listened to the noise outside with a frown.
Everyone in the pirate world is sick, they cry when they say they want to cry, and make a fuss when they say they want to make a fuss, and they are extremely exaggerated.
"Huh"
he blew out a smoke ring and leaned back comfortably.
"I should act well. When the time comes, everyone will share the credit for capturing Kormo and downplay my existence, so I won't attract attention. The pirates have been caught, the sea is calm, and I am safe. Oh, perfect." 'Mirage' is one of the moves of the Wuming God Fengliu Qinglong Secret Art. It should be combined with 'Jiao', which is 'Jiaolong'.
The effect is to manipulate the blood in the body of the person hit, causing hallucinations and tearing from the inside of the body.
With Kormo's thick skin that can't even be broken by a gun, how could it be possible that the weapon could cause damage? He was just manipulating the blood to explode.
Do you think you caused Kormo's damage?
No, it was me, Kuro!
After a while, Sergeant Cass knocked on the door again.
"Come in."
"Sergeant, the spoils have been counted. There are 200,000 Baileys and some treasures."
Kuro nodded, "Do as usual."
"Yes!"
The general practice of the navy is of course to turn it in, but the government is rich and the navy is also rich. After all the spoils are turned in, 30% will be deducted and distributed to the navy in combat.
It has never failed.
This also saves the effort of swallowing the spoils and reselling them.
So being a navy is also a very comfortable thing, especially for a navy that doesn't have to fight hard.
"In addition, there is a treasure map."
Cass hesitated for a moment, but still put the treasure map in his hand on the table.
"Treasure map?"
Kuro was a little interested, but when he saw the treasure map, he immediately lost interest.
"Florida's treasure? There are still people who believe in this now."
The treasure map was very simple, and it could be vaguely seen that it was the local jurisdiction of the sea area. There were several routes on it that looked like stick figures, and the target was directly pointing to an island.
Florida's treasure is a legend that has been circulating in recent years. According
to the legend, there was a big pirate named Florida who plundered the treasure of an entire kingdom and hid it on a certain island.
Such treasure maps appear once in a while, and Kuro doesn't know how many he has seen, and the location is different every time.
Over time, no one believes it.
But there are always some people who are lucky enough to collect such treasure maps in an attempt to find the so-called "treasure".
"I also find it unbelievable." Cass said, "Then Sergeant, shall we return?"
Kuro nodded and said, "Then let's..."
"Report!"
A navy man suddenly stood at the door, saluted, and said, "Sergeant Kuro, Sergeant Cass, the branch sent a fax saying that Roronoa Zoro has been captured."
"Huh? That famous pirate hunter? Why did they capture him?" Cass frowned.
"It is said that it was because he offended Master Bellemer."
"That Bellemer again!" Cass said hatefully.
"Sergeant, it would be great if you were a colonel."
He looked at Kuro, but heard Kuro say dryly, "Then let's go to the location of the treasure map and take a look."
"?"
"Sergeant Kuro?" Cass was a little puzzled.
Kuro spoke fervently: "Sergeant Cass, don't underestimate such a treasure map. The treasure of Florida is circulated every year. If it is fake, why are there still people who are diligently collecting such a treasure map?
We are the navy, and we must be serious in everything we do. A fake one will only take some effort, but if it is real, it is the treasure of a kingdom. Those who lost their property will have a hard life and will not have enough food. The crimes of pirates need our navy to end, and protecting civilians is the responsibility of the navy!"
"Yes! Sergeant Kuro, I will change course immediately!"
Cass's face was serious, and he saluted straight.
Those who know navigation are rare talents, and on this ship, no one knows navigation better than Cass.
