Chapter 5 William suspects that he is not the protagonist!
At the Rogue Town base, the navy soldiers from Smoker's belt took over everything in the base. All the former navy members in the base were arranged into several rooms to await investigation.
For Smoker, cleaning up the debris within the navy can be slowed down a bit. The most important thing now is to arrest and even sanction all the pirates in Rogge Town!
William was placed in a group dormitory, but because he is relatively young and has not officially joined the Navy, there is currently no one living with him.
Lying on the soft bed, William looked at the white ceiling and began to mentally plan his next move.
The operation to clean up Rog Town was imperative. With Smog's strength, he was almost invincible in the East China Sea, so William did not have to worry about the outcome of the war.
What he needs to consider now is how to perform well in this war.
After all, only by gaining military merit can you climb to higher levels faster and obtain the treasures you need.
"Speaking of which, if Tessen's head was replaced by military merit, wouldn't my 3.7 million Bailey be gone?"
Suddenly, William thought of a very important thing. For capturing pirates, the navy would not issue bounties, but would record equivalent military merits.
If William wanted to have enough funds to make a big purchase in Rogge Town, I'm afraid Teson's head would not be enough even in exchange for the bounty.
Thinking of this, William got up from the bed. He looked at the naval soldiers outside who had begun to take over the internal affairs of the base, and groped his way outside Smoger's office alone.
Knock knock~
"Come in."
Smoker's deep voice came out, William opened the door, and a "fairy spirit" suddenly hit his face.
William, who was well prepared, quickly covered his mouth and nose, then took a step back and let the "fairy energy" drift outward.
After about three minutes, the "fairy energy" in the office gradually dissipated, and William was able to clearly see Smoker's location.
"William, what's wrong?"
When he saw that the person coming was William, Smoker was a little surprised. After all, he had already asked people to place William in place after arriving at the base.
"Colonel Smoker, I would like to replace Teson's head with Bailey first."
There was a smile on William's face. He knew that his words might cause Smoker's dissatisfaction, but now he was penniless and needed Bailey urgently.
As expected, Smoker frowned when he heard William's choice.
In this East China Sea base, the 3.7 million bounty on the pirate captain's head is enough for William to be directly promoted to the rank of Navy Captain. Did William give up military merit and choose profit?
Smoker was about to ask something, but William blocked his mouth directly.
"I know, Colonel, you want to support me, but aren't military merits everywhere in Rogge Town now? Compared to the little military merits that Tessen can exchange for, I need Bailey to do something more."
William still had a smile on his face, and he explained to Smoker.
Smoker nodded clearly, then opened the drawer after thinking for a moment.
He placed a stack of Baileys in front of William. Smoker took a deep breath and said, "It is inevitable that you will become Cao Cao. Let this be your first month's salary."
William took a look and saw that there were two hundred and fifty thousand beli placed in front of him.
In the East China Sea, an ordinary naval soldier's monthly salary is only about 50,000 to 100,000 beli without meritorious service.
The salary of the Navy Captain is slightly higher, but in the absence of war, it will not exceed 300,000 beli.
Smoker's operation was not illegal.
Putting Bailey in his pocket, William saluted Smoker and left the base director's office.
Looking at William's leaving back, Smoker took a deep breath, and then set his sights on the map of Rogge Town behind him.
He wanted to find a way to annihilate the pirates in Rogge Town without disturbing the civilians!
On the other side, William returned to the dormitory and changed into plain clothes and left the naval base with Bailey in his arms. He was looking for the weapons store where the famous sword Yuzukaru and the third demon sword Kitetsu were hidden.
As soon as he left the naval base, William noticed something was wrong.
There are many people secretly watching the naval base, and judging from their expressions, they seem to be planning something.
In response, William pretended not to see it and left directly.
A group of pirates who don't know what domineering means, it's impossible for them to stand up in front of Smoker.
Rather than caring about their conspiracy, William wanted to improve his own strength.
Soon, under the guidance of a street vendor, William found a weapons shop selling swords and weapons.
However, unlike the empty space he imagined, this weapons shop was bustling with people coming and going.
William blended into the crowd and entered the weapons store, and saw the owner of the store with a very impressive hairline.
"Chenghui, a high-grade sword, worth 1.7 million beli."
At this time, the shop owner, Honmatsu, was paying the bill to a strong man who seemed not to be trifled with. The strong man left Bailey behind and left the weapons shop with a steel knife with a satisfied look on his face.
"Well, kid, do you want to buy weapons too?"
Ipponmatsu noticed William lingering in front of the wooden barrel where he placed the low-grade sword. He was not very surprised. After all, Rogge Town was a mixed area. There were many pirate trainees like William. He just
Concerned about whether William has money to pay the bill.
"Boss, how much does this knife cost?"
William casually pulled out a sharp-looking knife, and Ipponmatsu casually replied, "Ten thousand beli."
This was a batch of relatively low-quality swords that Ipponmatsu purchased, and he only earned a few bucks. After all, swords of this quality could easily be cut off during a battle.
Except for those poor clanking pirates, few people would buy inferior swords.
"Ten thousand?"
William was stunned for a moment, then nodded clearly.
It seems that because there are currently a large number of pirates in Rogge Town, Ipponmatsu doesn't care about the profit of selling these inferior swords, so the price is much cheaper.
Putting down the knife in his hand, William continued to seriously search for the possible existence of the third generation of ghosts.
However, no matter how William searched, he could not find the legendary demon sword, the Third Generation Ghost Sword, among these swords.
"Could it be that that knife will only appear in Rogge Town when Sauron appears? Is this really just the protagonist's treatment?"
