The presence of a third party on the date meant that there would be no fun tonight, and Tina's expectations were in vain.

Tina was very unhappy about this.

"I want to keep him safe," was 2B's explanation.

"Protection? There's no place safer than my ship in the East China Sea."

2B didn't answer. She just crossed her arms and insisted on her opinion.

Even though 2B felt that it was not appropriate for her to come along, Chen Yongan did not allow her to stay in the hotel, so she naturally could not make the decision on her own.

Besides, even if Chen Yongan asked her to stay in the hotel, she would follow him secretly.

For 2B, nothing is more important than his safety.

"This is your bounty," Tina pointed to the black suitcase on the coffee table, "the heads of those pirates plus their pirate ship and the treasure on the ship, a total of 36 million berries."

"Only thirty-six million?" Chen Yongan was surprised. "That pirate leader alone is worth ten million, right?"

As for the ships, there is no need to mention it. Chen Yongan clearly remembered that in the chapter of Water City, a second-hand ship that was slightly larger than the Merry was worth more than 100 million Berrys.

——For many pirates, a piece of their head is not as valuable as the ship they are on.

This is one of the main reasons why many people are unable to go out to sea. The value of the ship alone is enough to discourage people.

It also proves how wealthy and generous the fishing village is to be able to give them brand new boats as a thank you gift.

Selling eels makes so much money, no wonder it's targeted by pirates.

Tina sat down on the sofa, crossed her long legs, and explained: "First of all, the navy will recycle and dismantle the pirate ships as materials, so their value is obviously much lower than that of ships on the market."

"The second point is the issue of taxes. Whether it is a pirate ship or a pirate's bounty, all income must be taxed. Taxes must be paid to the World Government, taxes to the Kingdom... Here are the receipts, you can check them."

Chen Yongan took the receipt handed over by Tina, and his eyes widened when he saw the item of tax deduction.

Wow, more than half was deducted!

Especially the taxes deducted by the kingdom, which accounted for the largest share!

It's hard, the fist is hard.

"So you understand? After taxes, this is all that's left."

Tina's tone was also somewhat indignant. Although she did not need to pay taxes to the World Government or the Kingdom on her monthly salary, there was always a heavenly gold that was inevitable and had to be deducted every month.

As for ordinary people, the heavenly gold paid to the Celestial Dragons is counted together with the kingdom's taxes, which is why the kingdom's taxes account for the bulk of the total.

"I understand," Chen Yongan slowly loosened his clenched fists. With taxes so high, it's no wonder that people continue to go out to sea to become pirates.

It is for understanding.

But that doesn't mean they are right.

It would be fine if the "pirates" just went out to sea to do legitimate business and make a living and seek treasure in the sea to escape the unreasonably high taxes.

But for most pirates, going out to sea means robbing, raping and looting, and becoming scum who do all kinds of evil.

What's the difference between such scum and those kingdoms and celestial dragons?

"By the way, I want to ask, if I want to go to sea legally, how many berries do I need to pay?"

"One hundred million."

"What!" This was the second time Chen Yongan was shocked tonight, "That's too much!"

"Well, if you don't have enough money, I suggest you give up the idea of going out to sea," Tina glanced at Chen Yongan indifferently, "If you go out to sea illegally, you will be considered a pirate."

Considering that they saved the village and avoided greater casualties, Tina could turn a blind eye and let them go.

But if we meet other navies in the future, we won’t be so polite.

Chapter 13: A business without capital

Although Chen Yongan is not penniless now, the only money he can afford is the money Tina gave him, which is only 36 million berries left after deducting taxes.

But the cost of going overseas legally is as high as 100 million, almost three times the 36 million.

It is obvious that the legal way of going overseas is not feasible.

Then we have no choice but to go out to sea illegally.

Rather than suffer from kidney deficiency, it is better to go out to sea and become a pirate.

It's just that the navy is chasing us...

This is Chen Yongan's headache. There are too many strong men in the navy. It is not a wise behavior to confront the navy before having enough strength.

Seeing Chen Yongan's unwillingness to give up, Tina continued, "In addition to paying 100 million berries, there is no way to go to sea legally."

"any solution?"

"With the recommendation of the Navy, or with the approval of a branch or division, you can become a pirate hunter."

Chen Yongan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then..."

"But you and I don't have a close relationship," Tina's mature voice sounded so meaningful, "If you want to get my recommendation, you have to give something, right?"

If Chen Yongan's invitation to a date to Tina this morning was an implication of his intention, then what Tina was doing now was undoubtedly a clear indication of it.

——If Chen Yongan can't even hear this kind of clear hint, then he deserves to never eat meat in his life.

This reminded Chen Yongan of what he had read online before, about why a certain emperor named Zhu wanted to preserve his history as a beggar.

Among the many answers from netizens, one answer stood out.

In fact, his so-called begging for three years was actually selling ditches.

If you want to get something to eat in a time of war and chaos when food is more precious than gold, you have to pay something.

The only business in the world that requires no capital is selling ditches.

——Of course, although this is just a cliché from wild history that is meant to attract attention, this principle is applicable to Chen Yongan today.

These mere 36 million berries are nothing to Tina, a naval colonel.

Isn't all he has this tall and handsome appearance?

I wanted to get Tina's introduction, but I had nothing to offer, so all I could do was to deepen my friendship with her.

"Colonel Tina is right. Our friendship is still shallow," Chen Yongan sat next to Tina generously and put his arms around her slender waist.

"How about we communicate and deepen our relationship after dinner?"

Without waiting for Tina to respond, Chen Yongan pinched her chin and kissed her directly, occupying her lips and tongue.

The sudden deep kiss caught Tina off guard. After a few seconds, she came to her senses. She felt satisfied with Chen Yongan's understanding, and responded to Chen Yongan's deep kiss awkwardly and clumsily.

At the same time, Tina glanced at 2B who was sitting opposite her. She had her eyes covered and looked cold and indifferent. She was a qualified guard and had no expression on her face.

"Dong Dong~"

"Colonel Tina, dinner is ready."

Tina reached out and pushed Chen Yongan away. Their lips and tongues parted, her cheeks slightly red. After tidying up her clothes, she said, "Bring it in."

"Yes!"

The door was pushed open, and the Marines in charge of logistics came in with a dining cart, placed exquisitely prepared food on the dining table in the room, and opened red wine for them.

"Go out, and don't come in without my order."

"Yes."

The marine retreated, and Tina went over to lock the door, saying, "Your kissing skills are pretty good, it seems you've practiced a lot."

"Tina, your kissing skills are too unfamiliar, far from being as mature as you look," Chen Yongan picked up the red wine in the glass and compared it with Tina's red lips, "Could it be that this is your first time kissing, Tina?

It seems that I am still very lucky to have taken your first kiss."

"A good wall is one that cannot be breached."

"That makes sense, but I don't know if your city walls can withstand my battering ram."

Tina didn't say much to Chen Yongan. She came over, pulled out a chair and sat down. She unbuttoned a few buttons on her shirt, and her plump, snow-white breasts couldn't wait to pop out, greedily breathing in the fresh air outside.

"Beautiful," Chen Yongan praised, "but instead of being so uncomfortable, why don't you consider changing into suitable clothes?"

"It has grown bigger recently, and the clothes that fit me before are stretched out," Tina replied. "I will go shopping and order some clothes that fit me when I return to the Navy Headquarters."

"The Navy Headquarters located in the Grand Line?"

"Yes, I am a colonel directly under the Navy Headquarters. I came to the East China Sea for some official business."

Chen Yongan nodded. He did not ask what the specific business was. He picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked it with Tina and 2B, and then enjoyed the exquisite and delicious dinner in front of him.

When Chen Yongan was halfway through his meal, Tina put down her knife and fork and said, "Enjoy your meal. I'm going to the bathroom. Don't touch anything."

Chen Yongan nodded, then watched Tina get up, go to the closet to get a suspender dress and underwear, and go into the bathroom in the room.

Tina seemed a little impatient.

After all, she is a woman in her thirties and a virgin, so her needs are somewhat strong.

Especially after the deep kiss just now, Tina had no thought about food at all when she was eating.

Tina left, and the silent 2B asked, "Should I step aside for a while?"

"Why?" Chen Yongan filled 2B's glass with light-tasting red wine. He found that 2B liked drinking a lot. Whether it was the wheat juice during dinner in the pub or the red wine now, she drank the most.

Maybe it’s because the wine contains alcohol, which can be better converted into energy?

Or is it simply because of the taste and flavor?

But no matter what, 2B has a tendency to develop into an alcoholic swordsman.

"Privacy," 2B took a big sip of the red wine in her glass. "The pod told me that humans don't like to be seen by others when they are reproducing."

"Yes, but there are exceptions - when the bystander is one of our own, or when he has plans for her."

"Some contradictions."

"Then just follow my instructions," Chen Yongan reached out and stroked 2B's face. His thumb stroked her beauty spot at the lower left corner of her mouth and gently pressed her lower lip.

"If you're interested, you can join in."

2B licked Chen Yongan's thumb, touched it lightly with the tip of her tongue, and nodded slightly.

Chen Yongan smiled with satisfaction and leaned over to kiss 2B's soft lips.

"There is still a lot of food on the table. Eat more. Whether it's the preciousness of the ingredients or the deliciousness, it can't be compared to the meals provided by the tavern."

"Okay," 2B took the bottle and poured the remaining red wine into her glass.

Seeing this, Chen Yongan simply pushed his glass of red wine, which he had only taken a sip of, in front of her.

Chen Yongan doesn't like drinking alcohol because it can cause increased uric acid and damage the kidneys, leading to a decrease in kidney function.

Especially when tonight's food is mainly seafood.

Chapter 14 Shadow Puppet Show

After enjoying dinner, I waited on the sofa for a while and read the newspaper - all the news were about a certain town being attacked by pirates, a certain pirate group being uprooted by the navy, and new pirate bounties.

Only when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped did Chen Yongan put down the newspaper and look towards the bathroom door with anticipation.

After a long while, Tina, feeling refreshed, came out wiping her long hair which had not yet dried.

After taking a shower, Tina changed into a white halter dress that just reached her hips, and most of the half-ripe fruits were exposed.

While the front of the suspender skirt is held up and tightened, through the thin skirt you can see the bright red skin like ripe strawberries, which makes your mouth water.

Looking down, under the hem of the skirt that barely covers the triangle area is a pair of long ivory-white legs. Although not as plump as 2B's, they are also quite strong and slender. Especially when wearing sexy suspender black stockings, they exude a strong and attractive mature charm.

Tina was satisfied with Chen Yongan's look. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She walked to the edge of the bed with a trembling step, sat down, and raised her long legs. She said, "What? Are you stunned?"

"Of course," Chen Yongan sat down next to Tina, took the towel from her hand and wiped her soft cherry-colored hair.

"During the day, he was still a valiant and intimidating naval captain, but at night, he wore this kind of outfit that made people want to hold his neck and violate it. With such a strong contrast, how could I not be stunned?"

"You want to dress in an offensive way, with a strong contrast?" Tina chuckled, "You are the first man who dares to talk to me like this."

"Why? Do you want me to be polite and treat you with respect?"

Chen Yongan threw away the towel, hugged the mature beauty in his arms, turned over and pressed her on the bed, "I think Tina, you are not such a boring person, right?"
