Chapter 34: Thieves in the Mountains
Villian and the others followed Village Chief Up Slap into the village, and the surrounding villagers were very curious when they saw them.
Villian has an illusion that they are like a group of precious animals. These villagers are not so curious, right?
"Grandpa Village Chief~ Are there any guests at home?"
Soon, some curious villagers approached and asked Upp Slap, a girl with short dark green hair, a headscarf, and a cute little skirt.
"It's Maginot, they're here to find Garp."
Upp Slap kindly touched the little girl's head and replied.
"Mackino..."
Villian narrowed his eyes. This girl, Maginot, can really age at the age of three. This girl is now eleven or twelve years old, but her face is exactly the same as that of her in her early thirties.
This bar owner, who was later said to be pregnant with "Red-Haired" Shanks's child, was also a very kind girl.
Maybe it’s because this is where the future protagonist will grow up. In the entire Windmill Village, it feels like there are no unkind people.
Of course, Windmill Village is isolated outside the core circle of Goa Kingdom, and its somewhat isolated environment must be one of the reasons.
"Hello, my name is Villian Crowe, nice to meet you."
Villian stretched out his hand to Maginot. He was four or five years older than Maginot, and could barely be considered the same age group.
"Hello, my name is Maginot. Are you a navy? Like Grandpa Garp?"
Maginot shook hands with Villian politely, and then asked curiously, had they never seen the navy? Sometimes Garp would drive his warship over, and some of the sailors on the ship would follow him.
Disembark.
However, sailors are not uncommon, but sailors as young and handsome as Villian are rare. Maginot is a normal girl, so she was naturally attracted to Villian's appearance immediately. This is not superficial, it is just human instinct.
"Yes, I am a Marine from the 16th Marine Branch."
Villian replied with a smile. Although he was looking at Maginot in front of him, Villian was actually thinking about "Red-haired" Shanks. Knowing Maginot was equivalent to knowing "Red-haired" Shanks and "Red-haired" Shanks.
The red-haired pirates are a group of fierce men.
Comparing Garp's "experience points", the strength of "red-haired" Shanks will not be much worse, and the confrontation of identities may also bring a hostility bonus. Of course, the premise is that the other party takes him seriously.
, in short, if you can level up with the "Red Hair Pirates", wouldn't it mean that you can take off directly in Wuhu?
Villian began to think about the possibility of his survival after doing what "Bandit King" Sig did, and then he decisively gave up that unreliable idea and the myth of "Bandit King" Sig.
It's very difficult to copy.
Maginot tilted her head. She didn't know where "Navy Branch 16" was. This was normal, because she didn't even know which naval branch the Windmill Village was under.
"The jurisdiction of the 16th Naval Branch does not extend to Windmill Village, right? Staff Sergeant Villian, no, Ensign Villian."
Maginot didn't know, but Garp knew it clearly. The old man was wearing a vest and shorts, and he still looked energetic, but he looked at Villian with a "kind" look, because it was obvious that Villian came to Windmill Village.
It is illegal, as long as Villian is not on vacation.
"Indeed, but the scope of law enforcement cannot limit my determination to maintain maritime security. This is my sense of responsibility as a navy."
The righteous words spoken by Villian moved the recruits behind him slightly. If Villian had not told them the "truth" before, then they might have really believed it.
Looking at Village Chief Upp Slap and Maginot who didn't know the truth, they obviously believed Villian's words.
"Oh, the Navy has naval discipline. This is the law enforcement scope of Branch 15. Have you submitted an application report to Branch 15?"
Garp was unmoved. He concluded that Villian must have run blindly on his own and did not report to any branch at all.
The naval branch's setting of jurisdiction will indeed restrict the navy's actions to a certain extent, but this is a necessary measure. The purpose of the naval branch's existence is to maintain local security, which itself has regional restrictions.
This is actually somewhat similar to the police station. When you go to other areas to take action, you always have to notify the local branch in advance.
Of course, the distance between naval branches is slightly longer, and it may be considered a cross-city or cross-province joint law enforcement. In this case, it is even more necessary to inform them in advance.
In short, if Villian drives a warship around other people's jurisdiction, it will definitely cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Because in this sea, there are indeed cases of pirates pretending to be the navy and attacking merchant ships. This is a real troubled time, and all kinds of rules are relatively strict.
"Okay, I admit that I did not report it, but I really am not running around. I heard a few days ago that there are many bandits hiding in Gorbo Mountain near Windmill Village, and some of them have a bounty of seven to eight hundred
Thousands of big bandits, I happen to have a lot of free time recently, so I decided to come and take a look."
Villian spread his hands and admitted the fact that he had violated discipline, but then he brought up a new topic.
"!!!"
Villian's words did not do anything to Garp, but first frightened several sailors behind him.
Didn’t you say that you came to play with your friends because you were bored? Why did you suddenly get involved with bandits?! And didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t go to Gorbo Mountain?!
Village Chief Upp Slap was also a little surprised. He couldn't figure out what this young navy lieutenant wanted to do.
"Sa!"
Garp flashed and immediately appeared in front of Villian. He looked down at Villian's eyes condescendingly, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly serious.
"Villian...what do you know?"
Garp was a little surprised in his heart. He had no choice. The big manhunt involving all corners of the country had just ended. It was normal for him to be suspicious. Ace's matter was too important to him, and he would not allow any mistakes to be made.
.
"Huh? What do you know? I know there are bandits in this mountain."
Villian's expression remained normal. He looked at the overreacting Garp in confusion, with an expression like "Are there any problems with the bandits in the mountains?"
"Ahem, it's okay, you brat, don't change the subject, I'm talking about your violation of discipline, the things I taught you on the way here, and you've forgotten everything in just a few days?! I
I feel so sad for Zefa! He actually thinks that a bastard like you is a good prospect in the navy!"
