"Although 25 million Baileys is a lot, some things are more important than Baileys.
And didn’t we also get a ship this time? The matter of the new ship can be put on hold for the time being.”
After hearing what Wood said, Ruth was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wood seriously, as if he had gotten to know him again.
What Wood is doing now, coupled with what he did on Asuka Island, has always left Russ a little puzzled. Why would Wood like this choose to betray the Navy?
There is no doubt that Wood definitely has a righteous heart. Ruth and the others can 100% confirm this after this period of contact.
Since he has a righteous heart, and he has a teacher like General Zefa and a friend like Major General Gion in the headquarters, Wood should have a bright future, so why would he do such a stupid thing as releasing Impel Down prisoners?
At first, Ruth thought Wood was doing it for money, after all, it fit Wood's personality very well.
But this time, Wood's behavior of leaving the body of the one-eyed dragon Bebat on Bird Island was discovered by Ruth.
It is true that Wood loves money, but Ruth discovered that Wood has his own bottom line.
Just from the fact that Wood was willing to give up the bounty of the one-eyed dragon Bebat and choose to let the dead souls of Bird Island rest in peace, Russ judged that Wood would not release criminals for these so-called treasures.
There must be a secret about Major Wood's betrayal of the Navy!
Maybe Major Wood was frustrated by certain actions of the Navy, or maybe Major Wood was framed by some big shots?
Ruth had a lot of ideas on his own, but he didn't ask Wood about the reason.
Because he believed that Wood did not take the initiative to confess to them, it must be because they are not enough to gain Wood's trust now.
But through this incident, Ruth now at least knows that they are not following the wrong person.
Even if they become pirates, they are still a group of pirates with a righteous heart!
"Captain, since the one-eyed dragon Bebat with a bounty on his head has stayed on Asuka Island, why should we go to the Navy branch?"
When he asked this question, Russ already had a rough idea of the answer, but he still wanted to confirm whether what Wood wanted to do was what he had in mind.
"Our pirate group has just been established. If we want to make a name for ourselves quickly, we naturally need to do some big things.
So I plan to attack the navy branch in the nearby waters. If I can kill the colonel stationed in the navy branch, I think our pirate group will soon become famous in this area, right?"
Upon hearing Wood's plan, Russ was stunned on the spot. He originally thought that Wood was just planning to rescue the old mayor's son who was captured.
But he never thought that Wood was not planning to save people, but was planning to take the blame!
"Attack the local navy branch? But our pirate group only has about ten people now..."
Although it is only a naval branch, as a righteous camp that can stabilize an area, each naval branch has at least one naval colonel, which is the basic configuration of thousands of naval soldiers.
Unlike the wild men of the "One-Eyed Pirates", no matter how bad the soldiers of the Navy branch are, they also have warships and cannons.
To attack a navy branch with the strength of more than ten of them is basically a pure act of seeking death!
"If this naval branch is even afraid of pirates of the level of the 'One-Eyed Pirates', it shows that either its own strength is insufficient, or the naval captain in charge of the garrison is a waste.
Moreover, as a navy, he is afraid of pirates and refuses to save ordinary people who call for help. This is a righteous navy.
They are garbage, and we are just trying to make a name for ourselves, wouldn’t it be nice to help clean up the garbage from the sea?”
Wood suddenly discovered that he was assigned to be an undercover pirate, which seemed to be a good thing.
After all, if he were still in the navy now, he might not be able to control this kind of thing at all, even if he is a naval branch, but his class is there.
Even if Wood, the headquarters major, reaches someone else's position, he is still two levels ahead of him.
Two days later, Marine Headquarters, Marineland.
In the Admiral's office, Sengoku looked at the information he had just obtained and was so angry that he smashed the recently replaced desk in front of him again.
"What on earth is that bastard Wood doing? Does this bastard really think of himself as a pirate now? He actually did such a thing!"
The information in the hands of Marshal Sengoku was just sent from the West Sea in the morning. Now the X3 naval branch located in the waters near Asuka Island has been completely paralyzed.
The navy captain who was originally stationed here died, and now the local branch is supported by a navy captain from the branch.
Two days ago, a group of pirates named "Nirvana Pirates" from the West Sea attacked the X3 Navy Branch, and the former captain of the X3 Navy Branch, Rock, died in the battle.
To be more precise, there was only one pirate who invaded the X3 Navy branch at that time, but the opponent was too powerful.
It was clear that the X3 branch had a defensive force of thousands of naval soldiers, but the opponent seemed to have entered an uninhabited land and directly attacked the rear of the branch and killed Captain Roque as the commander.
According to subsequent intelligence collection, it was learned that the captain of the "Nirvana Pirates" was actually former Navy Lieutenant Commander Wood.
Moreover, when he killed Captain Rock, the opponent only used one knife to kill him on the spot, and finally walked away, almost unstoppable!
In terms of casualties, there were nearly a thousand injured naval soldiers. As for the number of casualties, there was only one person, and that was Navy Captain Roark...
Now the X3 branch is on the one hand to report the situation here to the headquarters, and on the other hand it is hoping that the headquarters will send a powerful colonel over as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.
First, there was the slave rampage incident in the Holy Land Mariejoia, followed closely by the Golden Lion Shiki's prison escape incident. Now, because of these two major events, pirates in the entire sea are as active as if they were on steroids.
Most of the generals in the entire naval headquarters have been as busy as a spinning top recently. Naturally, Sengoku would not be happy to receive such information at this juncture.
It would be fine if the branch's naval colonel died, but the point is that it was one of their own who killed the colonel, which made Warring States very melancholy.
"Hahahahaha, did Little Wood feel that the bounty you set for him is too low and does not suit his status, so now he has simply rebelled against the navy."
Warring States was not happy, but someone was laughing heartlessly on the side, and would put the senbei in his hand into his mouth from time to time.
Since he really couldn't see Garp's face, Sengoku stepped forward and snatched the senbei from Garp's hand, and then poured it into his mouth.
