Did the branch office submit an application report? Karp remained unmoved, concluding that Baili Xiao must have come on his own, so he had not reported to any branch office.
The establishment of naval branch jurisdiction does indeed restrict naval operations to some extent, but it is a necessary measure.
The purpose of the naval branch is to maintain local public order, and it is inherently limited by geographical boundaries.
This is actually the same as a police station.
When traveling to other regions, it is always necessary to notify the local branch office in advance.
Of course, if naval branches are geographically distant, cross-city or cross-province operations could be considered joint law enforcement. Therefore, it is necessary to inform others in advance.
In short, if Vivian were to sail her warship around someone else's territory, it would certainly cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
In this sea area, pirates impersonate naval personnel to attack merchant ships. In this chaotic world, various rules are strictly established.
"Yes, I admit it. I really didn't call the police, but I really didn't run around. A few days ago, I heard that there were many bandits hiding in the Gorpo Mountains near Chefeng Village. Among them was a big bandit with a bounty of 7800 million. I happened to have some free time recently, so I planned to come and see 483."
Baili Xiao opened his hands to admit that he had violated the rules, but then brought up a new topic.
Before William's words could reassure Karp, the Marines behind him were trembling with fear.
Didn't you come to visit your friends because you were bored? Why did you suddenly have a relationship with bandits?!
Didn't I just say we weren't going to Golbo Mountain?!
Wu was also a little surprised that he had slapped the village chief. He was somewhat unsure what the young lieutenant was up to.
"Keep your voice down!"
Karp swayed unsteadily, quickly appearing in the dimensional space before Mr. William, looking down into his eyes. His expression was more serious than ever before.
"Bai Lixiao... what do you know?"
Karp was indecisive. The massive global search ended quickly.
He was suspicious. The matter of the ace was very important to him; he couldn't allow any mistakes.
"Huh? What is it? What do you know? I know there are bandits on this mountain."
Bai Lixiao seemed the same as always. He looked at Karp, who was overreacting, with a puzzled expression.
Chapter 0364 has a problem.
The expression seemed to ask, "Are there any problems with the bandits in the mountains?"
"Cough, it's nothing, you brat, don't change the subject. I was talking about you breaking the rules. I told you on the way here, and you've completely forgotten?! I feel sorry for Zephyr! I think you're such an idiot."
After confirming that Baili Xiao was not there for the ace, Garp immediately attacked Baili Xiao.
Karp was certainly aware that he had overreacted, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He'd barely moved his trump card to Mount Gorbo when the Navy came after him. Whoever changed this must have overreacted!
"Damn it! Get back to me! If you really want to come to Windmill Village, don't come until you've finished writing your report! Do you hear me?!" To cover up his overreaction, Garp directly retaliated against Vivian with his old fist, kicking Vivian out.
Karp really didn't know what to say to the little guy.
Gore Mountain is a deep, dangerous forest with complex terrain, where many bandits lurk. For many years, few people have tried to manage it.
As a result, this little guy set his sights on the East China Sea after only a few days there.
Garp was filled with emotion and could only say, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
Fortunately, he has such a positive attitude towards Baili Xiao. This kid isn't very disciplined, but he could become an excellent naval officer.
"Wait, wait, old man Garp, I'm here. Shall I invite you to your home?"
As Vivian's "experience points" increase, where will she go? She stubbornly wants to visit Garp's house.
"We do not accept naval personnel who violate discipline!"
Garp readily refused and instead attacked Baili Xiao.
[Upgrade to gain 1 extraction time]
Upon seeing this notification, Baili Xiao became even more enthusiastic.
Isn't this much faster than becoming a pirate and paying people to gain "experience points"?! Humans are truly despicable!
"Grandpa Garp, stop playing around! Don't hit me!"
Bai Lixiao's expression darkened as she saw Mu Ye finally react, and she felt uneasy. Was barium being secretly fed in?
Bai Lixiao's earlier words clearly left a good impression on Mu Ye. I thought Bai Lixiao was a good person, a very brave and good person.
Golbo Mountain is a very dangerous place for the people of the windmill village; no one dares to go there.
"are you going?"
Makino's request stopped Garp, but Garp was still very attracted to this cute girl.
"Don't leave."
Bai Lixiao's neck stiffened, and he emphasized the repetition.
"No, I'll go later."
Why doesn't Baili Xiao leave?
If he loses direct contact with the recruits while piloting the warship and returns to Belmir, won't he be killed instantly?
But it doesn't seem impossible, right? Anyway, Belmir can't kill him, Baili Xiao suddenly realized.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Can we reap another harvest when we go back?
It must be said that Baili Xiao has always been very talented at portraying himself as not human. Even a dog would say, "A real dog."
"Alright, Garp, let these marines stay for dinner. We're not exactly known for our hospitality in Windmill Village."
Village Chief Wu can't slap him anymore; Garp is being a bit too harsh on the lieutenant.
This reminded him of Dragon when he was young. Back then, Dragon was always being punched by Garp.
"One slap? You don't understand. This little guy just wasn't disciplined enough!"
Karp shook his head, but left without catching Baili Xiao.
Wu Yiba shook his head. When it came to educating children, he always dismissed Karp's words as nonsense.
"Unfortunately, there isn't even a decent place to eat in the village. If you'd like, please come to my house. I happen to have some freshly harvested vegetables."
Ignoring Karp, he slapped Baili Xiao and the others.
Although Garp picked his nose, he didn't hold back at all when slapping the village chief. They certainly knew.
This guy……
The village chief shook his head with a slap, and Karp was powerless to help, but he didn't mind taking care of Karp.
This is also one of the important reasons why Windmill Village can stay here quietly for several years. Every time Garp comes back, he can suppress the chaos around him.
"~ Next, we'll open a tavern in the village!"
After listening to the elders, Muye suddenly raised his little hand and spoke. His face turned bright red, and he looked very excited.
"Haha! Alright! I'll support you when the tavern opens!"
Garp burst into laughter at Makino's adorable appearance. He laughed and said "Haha," which made Makino nod happily.
"I'll participate too."
Baili Xiao also said that what's important is that this isn't Muye's tavern, but rather the place where every story begins.
"Thank you, Captain Baili Xiao."
Makino blushed and thanked Baili Xiao.
"Please call me Brother Baili Xiao."
Baili Xiao smiled gently. It has to be said, that innocent smile on his handsome face was truly deceptive, especially to women.
boom! "
Bai Lixiao was hit on the head, and Garp looked at him with a "nuclear-kind" gaze. It was clearly a warning to him.
Billy couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had no strange thoughts about 11-year-old or 20-year-old girls. What else could this kid be but cute?
"I'm going home first."
With a flushed face, Makino solemnly said goodbye to everyone and jogged home.
"Go ahead. Go back after you eat. As a navy person, you must have a sense of discipline. Don't be so casual." — Xing
Chapter 0365 Surrounded by Enemies
Upon arriving at his house, Garp patiently taught Baili Xiao as always, but Baili Xiao ignored this. He was very curious about Garp's house.
However, although Baili Xiao was disappointed, he felt that Garp's house was very ordinary, very ordinary in Windmill Village. It looked like an ordinary two-story house.
"Sit wherever you like, don't mind. I haven't been back for a while, so it might be a little dirty. But you insisted on coming."
Karp opened the door; the room was reasonably well-lit. The table, chairs, and furniture were old, but actually quite clean.
"It looks like someone cleaned it."
Karp paused for a moment, then said in a low voice.
"Could it be the legendary Mr. Dragon?"
Billy instantly perked up. Besides Karp, only the "Revolutionary Leader" Dragon would come to the McGee's house, right? I haven't heard of anyone else at the Munch family's house.
"Uh……"
Bai Lixiao was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, Ace and Luffy always seemed to be playing games on Mount Gol.
"But... is it really possible for a bandit with a bounty of 780 million to let me go like this?"
Bai Lixiao pondered deeply. Compared to the pirates on the Grand Line, the 7.8 million bounty was not insignificant. However, for the locals, the threat posed by the 7.8 million bounty bandits and pirates might be more terrifying than that of the "Four Emperors."
The arrogance of "Mountain Bandit King" Sig is not entirely without reason.
Although it sounds impressive, in the East Blue and Windmill Village, the "Face Fruit" doesn't necessarily have the reputation of being the "Mountain Bandit King".
"The Dada family, the bandits... they did bad things, but they were actually very good to the surrounding villagers. Their rewards were mainly obtained by robbing merchants and nobles."
Garp seemed a little embarrassed. As a naval officer, it was clearly inappropriate for him to say such a thing. Shouldn't he be responsible for protecting caravans and nobles?
To be honest, Baili Xiao was really looking forward to this setting.
