Pirate: This navy is so despicable!

At the beginning, Jay was a little passive and inevitably touched the wounds on his body during the process.

However, after the warm-up, he immediately took the lead and used QWER keys on the keyboard.

Miss Tessa could only barely fight back with water magic, but was eventually defeated and fled, begging for mercy and admitting defeat!

day.

"Do I have to go back? Can't I stay? Is being a marine more important than me?"

Facing Miss Tessa's three fatal questions, Jay's answer was: "You are a good girl. Next time when I am healed, we can exchange ideas again."

"Jay, you bastard!"

"I'm leaving now. No need to see me off. Oh, one last piece of advice. Be careful of your uncle."

The 'Killer' Daz Bonis was indeed a man of great professional ethics, and he refused to reveal his employer until his death, but the 'Marine' Daz Bonis was a partner of justice, and he certainly would not go along with evil.

So this piece of advice before leaving can be considered Jay's last gift to her.

As for how she would retaliate next, that was none of his business.

By the way, last night, the number of people on a date increased by 1!

With a recharge of 10 million berries, Jay returned home with a full load.

Then he was called over by Colonel Hammond.

Because apart from those who died in the mission, his group was the only one that never returned.

Plus some other reasons, he had to find out.

Jay naturally had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story in detail, emphasizing his achievements.

For example, when the mafia attacked, he was the one who turned the tide with a single gun!

The morale of these mafia members was directly destroyed, and only then was the target protected.

For example, when facing the famous killer from the West Sea, it was Jay who fought with the enemy for three hundred rounds and finally defeated the opponent with his tenacious perseverance.

Afterwards, with the help of doctors, he miraculously saved his life.

When Jay got excited, he even pretended to untie his clothes and the bandages inside to let Colonel Hammond see the "work injury" he had suffered.

Colonel Hammond waved his hands repeatedly and said it was not necessary, which finally stopped him.

After Jay finished bragging, Colonel Hammond asked at the right moment, "How did the killer die?"

"Oh, it's like this. After I defeated the killer, I was too injured to interrogate him immediately, so I asked others to lock him up first."

"When I woke up, I found out that the killer had been wrapped in chains and thrown into an icy fountain. He hadn't eaten for a whole day and night, and he hadn't received any timely medical treatment."

"Seeing he was about to die, I had no choice but to speed up the interrogation. During this process, he couldn't hold on and died."

"I have already taught Buck and the others a lesson afterwards, but I can understand why they did this. After all, the enemy is a terrifying Devil Fruit user, so their methods were naturally a bit extreme."

Colonel Hammond then asked, "If the people were dead, why were the bodies burned immediately?"

Jay immediately showed an 'awkward' expression. "This is my first time seeing a Devil Fruit user too. Who knows what hidden abilities that guy might have yet to use? What if he faked his own death to trick me?"

"So, to be on the safe side, we simply set it on fire. That way, whatever tricks the other party has up their sleeves will be useless."

Well, it’s really useless, it’s all burned to ashes!

Fortunately, Brook didn't encounter such a fierce enemy back then, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to find a bone to resurrect.

Colonel Hammond then asked a few more questions, all of which Jay answered with exaggerated words.

The truth that Daz Bonis was not dead was successfully concealed.

"Well, thank you for your hard work on this mission. You are all great. You have not brought shame to our navy."

"Then there are also subsidies and rewards for this mission..."

"Don't worry, you won't lose a single berry. But why did I hear you asked Toledo Tessa for a full ten million in compensation?"

Colonel Hammond's tone was calm and casual, but Jay knew how greedy the other man really was.

If this guy knew that he had taken 10 million berries for nothing, his life would definitely not be easy.

Fortunately, he had already recharged the 10 million berries given by Tessa into the system.

And on the way back, he deliberately showed everything he brought back to Buck and others.

Even the witnesses were prepared in advance.

No matter how Colonel Hammond asked, there would be no second answer.

Jay immediately said indignantly, "That's right. The woman clearly agreed at the time, but later denied it! She said she had already paid five million berries in protection money. It's really strange. Who did she give the money to?"

"Sir, please make the decision for me! Only you can help me get this money back."

Colonel Hammond's eyelids twitched, and he cleared his throat. "Nonsense! Protecting the people is our navy's duty!"

"If someone doesn't give you money, will you not save him?"

"Don't be so utilitarian. You're still young. Let's just let it go. Protection money, ten million or something like that, should just be a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Jay immediately said with a guilty look on his face: "Yes, sir, you are right. I won't do it again next time."

"Well, it's good that you admit your mistakes and correct them. Go out and call one of the people outside in."

Obviously, Colonel Hammond would not just believe Jay's one-sided statement. He wanted to question each of them individually.

Chapter 43: Money, Money, Money (Please collect and read!)

Regarding the matter of "Jay accepting a bribe of 10 million Berry", the final investigation result was naturally inconclusive.

I didn’t take it, that’s it. I’m very tough!

Colonel Hammond even sent someone to question Toledo Tessa.

Toledo Tessa directly stated that this did not happen, and drove out the people he sent, saying that he would never pay the money.

At this point, Colonel Hammond gave up and did not investigate further.

After all, he had already made a fortune from the entire [Mafia Attack] incident, so there was no need for him to hold on to the 10 million berries. It would be enough to prove that Jay did not cheat him.

Then, excluding those unlucky ones who were killed by the mafia, the remaining non-commissioned officers each received the subsidies and merits agreed in advance.

Of course, the achievements written in the resume naturally need to be embellished.

Jay and others don't need to worry about that, there are dedicated people to write it.

In addition, Colonel Hammond also publicly stated that he would promote another group of non-commissioned officers in the near future to fill the vacancies.

What it means is: If you want to get promoted, hurry up and raise money, otherwise you will miss the chance if you are too late.

He is worthy of being Colonel Hammond!

Making money is really a chain of events.

But the people at the 88th Branch Base had long been accustomed to Colonel Hammond's style of doing things, so many of them began to get ready and start looking for money and borrowing it from everywhere.

Who wouldn’t be happy to get promoted?

Even Buck was tempted.

He has been with Jay for a while and has earned a lot of money.

If you get together with other people, it will be almost there.

However, there are more wolves than meat, and there must be more than one person who can raise enough money.

If we really compare financial resources, Buck definitely can't do it.

Then we can only start from other directions.

Look, Buck came to Jay with a big face licking his face and begged him.

Jay didn't object to Buck's ambition.

Who doesn't want to make progress these days?

But the relationship between him and Colonel Hammond is not as good as outsiders imagine.

"Let me be frank. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

Buck was very excited, "I understand, success or failure is up to me!"

"All right, get the money ready, and I'll go talk to Colonel Hammond."

"I'm ready, Brother Jay!"

Jay took the money without hesitation and went straight to where Colonel Hammond was resting.

For other people, this place is definitely not a place that can be entered casually.

Jay is the same in this regard, there is no difference.

After all, the gap in military rank between the two is too big.

Fortunately, one of the rewards Jay received from his last mission was the right to be promoted first.

With this reason, Colonel Hammond inside would naturally not avoid it.

"Jay, don't accuse me of being dishonest. Priority is just priority, but you must get the money you deserve! A promotion from corporal to sergeant costs two million berries. Are you ready?"

Colonel Hammond was reclining in his chair, with his feet crossed on the table and a cigar in his mouth.

A look of pain immediately appeared on Jay's face, and then he put the money he brought on the table.

"The subsidy I received two days ago, the 500,000 berries bribe from that woman Toledo Tessa, plus the money I 'borrowed' before, are all here."

Colonel Hammond did ask about the matter of Toledo Tessa giving one million berries, but because Jay generously distributed it to everyone, he didn't dare to bring it up.

Now that we can get it back in this form, it seems not bad.

Colonel Hammond withdrew his foot, picked up the money and passed it over, then he realized something was wrong.

"Huh? Why are there an extra 500,000 berries?"

Jay smiled. "There's a private named Buck among the first class who saved my life during this mission. It's a bit against the rules, but after I was promoted to sergeant, there's a vacant position for a corporal, so these 500,000 berries are his tribute to you."

Colonel Hammond raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at him. "You haven't even been promoted to sergeant yet, but you're already paving the way for others. If I don't give you this face, what will you do?"

Jay said without hesitation: "Then pretend I never mentioned it."

"Oh? You don't want money anymore?"

"What money? Sir, are you going to give me a raise?"

Faced with Jay's pretending to be stupid, Colonel Hammond reached out and nodded at him twice, then directly opened the drawer and swept the money into it.

"Just this once, go back and wait for news."

"Thank you, sir!"

When Jay saw that the other party had accepted the money, he knew that the matter was done.

Buck will definitely be the one to take the vacant corporal position.

But after returning, he just told Buck that there was a chance, but it was not guaranteed and it depended on luck.

What I’m afraid of is that this guy gets too excited and starts talking nonsense everywhere.

Once Colonel Hammond heard about it, what had been done would no longer be possible.

So let Buck be nervous for a few days.

Then, a few days after Jay came back, he took the time to take a leave.

He first went to find Daz Bonis who was hiding and recuperating from his injuries, and told this guy not to worry and to heal his injuries first.

After all, this guy faked his death and escaped, and many people have seen his appearance.

Letting him join the navy now would be tantamount to seeking death.

You need to wait for a while before making any decisions.

Fortunately, Daz Bonis is not stupid. He knows that his identity is sensitive and it is not appropriate for him to show up now, so he rests and hones his strength.

Ever since the last time the two of them fought, Daz Bonis realized his shortcomings.

He can't even dominate the West Sea, so he can't be called the strongest. How can he want to defeat the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

After temporarily appeasing Daz Bonis, Jay went to several other places for field investigations.
