"I didn't expect that I would return to my hometown again." Nami began to breathe in the fresh air.
It has been eight years since I left this place, so I miss this place very much.
Soon, their boat docked at the shore, and a group of people got off the boat.
"Why do I feel like this place looks even trashier than it did eight years ago? It seems like there's no one there anymore." Hinata Matsuha smacked his lips. Has this place fallen so far behind?
After entering the village, I discovered that the people here seemed to be particularly miserable. There was nothing happy at all, and there were no smiles on their faces.
"What on earth is happening? Although the people here were not particularly rich eight years ago, they weren't in such pain!" Bellemere was a little confused.
"Bellemere?" A man suddenly came over.
"I am, but can you tell me why the village is like this now?" Bellemeier shook his head.
"It's really a long story. There is a rat colonel here who asks us to pay him protection money every month, so we are all very poor."
Now everyone understands why it has taken so long? There is no improvement at all in this village. It turns out that someone is secretly causing trouble.
"Who is this person? He can go so far?" Nami clenched her fists, and Brick looked at Hinata Matsuba.
"Ask me, who should I ask? I don't know that kid." Hinata Matsuyu looked innocent.
"I didn't expect there to be such a bad guy in the navy? He's even worse than those pirates. It's really too much." Nami was extremely angry.
"This matter is inevitable, because they also need money, go and support it. Besides, the salary is only so small. You are not qualified to criticize others. You have been robbing pirates all these years." Hyuga Matsuba
He smacked his lips.
Collecting protection fees is also a relatively common thing in the navy, because some navy's salary is still relatively small, so they want to make some money through other methods.
Generally speaking, if it is not too excessive, this kind of thing cannot be dealt with. What's more, their focus is mainly on the Grand Waterway, so these things are not of special concern.
"Where is that man now? I'm going to go find him to settle the score now." Bellemare became excited.
"Navy Division 16 over there."
Bellmere took Hyuga Matsuba and the others and headed over there. They had just disembarked from the boat, so they started to rush to other places before they reached the village.
"It seems we have hope this time, right?" A nearby villager came over and joined in the fun.
Everyone felt very happy, because no one knew that it was Hinata Matsuba. The navy admiral was here, and a colonel was nothing.
"Fortunately, Bellemere is back. Otherwise, if we continue to live like this, we really don't know what will happen." An old man began to sigh repeatedly, and their village began to get worse and worse.
Already.
"It's really too much. How could these people become so outrageous? Didn't you even care about it before?" Bellemeier was so angry that he didn't even say anything.
"It's not my responsibility to take charge of this matter. Besides, I'm not going to the Navy Headquarters."
Bellemare didn't know what to say, but this sentence made sense.
"I don't know why you, who are bored every day and don't do anything serious, actually turned into a general." Nami couldn't help but shook her head.
"Of course this is all because I am very strong." Hyuga Matsuba chuckled, Sengoku was still thinking about him.
Because I am a person who doesn't listen to other people's orders. Instead of staying inside the Navy Headquarters and making others angry, it is better to play here by myself outside.
They arrived at their destination quickly. They didn't expect that such a small place was so luxuriously decorated. It seemed that they had made a lot of money over the years.
"Colonel Mouse, I noticed that someone seems to have come to our place. Could it be that they know about us and come to investigate us?" Suddenly a subordinate appeared and began to report to the top.
"Don't be so exaggerated. Just go and prepare some money before coming over. We will just go and bribe him when the time comes." Colonel Mouse was very calm.
This kind of investigation will always happen, so he has already prepared it before and spent a lot of money. He doesn't believe that this kind of thing can't be settled with money.
So he always felt in his heart that money was the most important thing, and there was nothing that money couldn't do.
"Let's go, let's go out to greet him now. We still have to do some things." Colonel Mouse led his people out to greet him.
"Is the person in front of me the one we are looking for? He really looks like his name, he looks like a mouse." Charlie almost couldn't help laughing.
Colonel Mouse was very angry, but he couldn't say anything.
"You should know what I'm here for this time, right?" Hinata Matsuba slowly walked down and approached Colonel Mouse.
"I have already understood what you mean very clearly, so I have already had someone prepare a very generous gift for you."
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart, but how could you, a junior official, bribe me?" Hyuga Matsuba didn't care at all.
Colonel Mouse was immediately confused.
"Don't forget that I am also in the navy now, so it is better for the two of us to stay private like this."
Hinata Matsuba didn't want to waste time, so he killed this kid with one skill. This little mouse was not that powerful, but he dared to talk to him in such a tone. He was simply tired of living.
After discovering that his boss was dead, everyone around him suddenly didn't dare to speak.
"I didn't expect this place to be so rich. Let's quickly collect all the treasures." Nami is definitely the happiest person.
This woman really likes money, so she is very happy now.
"You can't do this. You must know that this money does not belong to you alone. It belongs to the common people, so we all have to pay it back." Bellemare said seriously.
Nami smacked her lips and could only nod in agreement.
"Then we must first discuss the money. Part of it will come from the village, but part of it will be left to me for safekeeping." Nami snorted coldly.
There is absolutely no problem in giving the money to the village. After all, I grew up in that place, so I still have a certain affection for it.
But it is absolutely impossible for other villages. They have killed Colonel Rat, and it is absolutely impossible to return the money to them.
"You are simply a money addict." Bellemare didn't know what to say.
