The Pirate Garen

"Clear good and evil, act in moderation!"

"As expected of a knight of justice!"

And the young reporter had already approached Galen at some point, and said in a reverent tone:

"Master Galen, hello!"

He said the name he heard from Nami before, and introduced himself respectfully to Galen:

"I'm Michael Wallace, a reporter from Donghai Daily."

"Wallace."

Galen said with a strange face: "It's big news when you hear it."

Wallace's eyes lit up, and he said:

"Lord Galen is really astute!"

"Reporting big news that shocks the world is exactly my lifelong dream!"

Wallace was full of sincere praise, which made Galen's big face hard to know where to put it.

Wallace, who had just escaped death, had already sorted out his distorted appearance due to shock; although his body was still stained with a little dust and his short blond hair was a little messy, he still behaved like an elegant elite gentleman.

It is indeed a strange feeling to be complimented by such a guy.

But Wallace's admiration is not over yet.

Looking at the corpses of pirates hung on the flagpole of the pier, he said with some emotion:

"Master Knight, you are not only wise and powerful, but also treat money like dung!"

"In order to deter those pirates, they are willing to give up such a generous reward."

"What?"

Nami, who had been secretly ashamed by the side, had a bright light in her eyes, and her beautiful water-cut eyes burst out with the golden glare of banknotes in an instant.

She heard a key word from Wallace's admiration that touched the depths of his soul:

"Money? Where is it?"

Wallace pointed to the steel knife that had been hung on the flagpole over there, and said casually:

"Miss, don't you know?"

"Send the head of that steel knife, but in exchange for a bounty of 10 million Baileys!"

"What? Ten million Baileys?"

This time it was Galen who called out in surprise.

Galen didn't yet know the purchasing power of Bailey's currency.

But the astonishing number of 10 million will surely save him from the lamentable fate of relying on the overlord's meal to satisfy his hunger.

Nami and Galen glanced at each other, and a silent consensus was instantly reached in the meeting of eyes.

a moment later

"Cough cough."

Galen stepped forward and said to the middle-aged sheriff who was busy hanging the dead bodies:

"I thought about it, after all, this is still a public place where people come and go."

"The death of a steel knife is too ugly, and it will easily affect the appearance of the city."

"Just put him down."

It was busy again.

Galen ran back dragging his death-defying steel knife, and asked Wallace excitedly:

"Where do you want to exchange this bounty?"

"Forehead"

Wallace looked a little weird, but he still answered seriously:

"Ten million Baileys is not a small amount. It can only be exchanged if you have a certain size of naval branch."

"Although there are also qualified naval branches nearby, but consider the influence of various aspects."

"I still recommend that you sail for a while longer and go to Rogge Town, where the Navy headquarters troops are stationed, to exchange for bounties."

Rogge Town is far away, and with a naval base nearby, it doesn't seem like a wise choice to go there to exchange bounties.

But as a reporter who is familiar with the situation in the East China Sea, how can Wallace not know what the so-called naval branches in those places are?

Because the world government and the navy headquarters have weak control over the grassroots, the local naval branch actually becomes an independent kingdom of the local navy admiral, which is somewhat similar to the local guard system of the Ming Dynasty.

With power in hand and no one to supervise, nine out of ten local naval admirals will degenerate into greedy, tyrannical and reckless local emperors.

A little more experienced pirate hunters would not take the risk of going to such a black shop with a navy signboard in exchange for bounty; otherwise, even if they are strong and have not been blacked out, they may be labeled as an attack on the navy by those corrupt officers And forced to become a pirate.

"Rogue Town?"

Galen didn't know the social background behind this, but he just became interested in this somewhat familiar name:

"Is that Rogue Town where the One Piece died?"

"That's Rogue Town!"

Nami quietly approached Galen, and said with a slight smile:

"You don't know the route, do you?"

"Don't worry, I'm the best navigator in the East China Sea!"

As she said this, Miss Nami's eyes were fixed on the corpse that Galen was holding in his hand.

Or, that 10 million Baileys.

Nami smiled more sincerely, her big eyes were bent into two shallow crescents:

"If you hire me as a navigator, the price is very affordable"

"As long as it's four million, not five million Baileys!"

"."

Galen turned his head silently: "Can't afford it, no money!"

"I do not care!"

Nami didn't dislike the mess, she grabbed the corner of Gangdao's corpse and said persistently:

"I also contributed just now, and I should share half of the money!"

"Half for you?"

Galen retorted lightly:

"You obviously just contributed to increase the difficulty of the game for me."

"you!"

Nami swelled her cheeks into round ping pong balls.

Just now it was only because of Galen's shot that she was able to survive the disaster, and she was really embarrassed to refute Galen in this regard.

But after a few breaths, Nami's eyes suddenly became more tender like water.

Nami gently flicked her slightly messy short orange hair, showing off the femininity of her plump body, and even her voice became soft and delicate:

"Master Knight, I am the 'Mrs. Knight' you are after."

"Stop!"

"I don't know you well!"

Galen, who has been tricked several times in a row, directly ignored Nami's acting skills:

"Besides, I can't even afford to eat, so what's the use of having a wife?!"

The two greedy guys interacted with each other.

Wallace looked at Galen even more strangely.

Between his slightly trembling facial muscles, there was a faint grayness of collapsed faith.

"Cough cough."

Galen looked a little embarrassed.

With a big face, he opened his eyes and spoke nonsense:

"Wallace."

"Do you think I collect this bounty because I am greedy for money and obsessed with enjoyment?"

"ah?"

Wallace's expression froze, and the reverence for Galen in his eyes suddenly became firmer:

"Could it be that, Mr. Galen, you have more far-reaching considerations?"

"That's right."

Galen's expression suddenly became serious and pious, and his expression was as noble as a saint:

"True justice is to let the wicked get the punishment they deserve, and at the same time let the good people get the reward they deserve."

"That's right"

Wallace nodded in agreement.

But Galen's preaching was not over yet.

He cleared his throat and said solemnly again:

"Wallace, I've got to tell you two little stories about 'The Difference Between Righteousness and Benefit'."

"In the distant country of Lu, there is a great businessman named Duanmu Ci Zigong."

"And his teacher is the famous great sage Confucius Qiu Zhongnisheng."

Galen imitated the appearance of a Chinese teacher in high school, and told Wallace the stories of "Zigong redeeming people" and "Zilu receiving cattle" in simple terms.

Wallace was immediately conquered by these two short stories with concise plots and rich meanings.

He looked at Galen even more reverently than before, and took out his notebook with excitement to record all kinds of good words of Galen:

"did not expect"

Wallace exclaimed with tears in his eyes:

"Master Galen, you are not only a role model in morality, but also a giant in thought!"

"No!"

"I'm just a child picking up shells on the beach, and I'm lucky enough to stand on the shoulders of giants."

Galen opened his mouth to say another famous saying, pretending to sigh deeply:

"A villain talks about profit, and a gentleman talks about virtue."

"However, those who want to practice great benevolence lie in virtue as little as they do in benefit."

"The bounty is to encourage everyone to do good things, not a small profit that only benefits me."

"I naturally despise someone who gives me money, but I have to reluctantly accept the bounty offered!"

"This is all about practicing justice!"

It turns out that Lord Galen is so great!

He is obviously a lonely knight who does not go with the world, but in order to do righteousness, he endures humiliation and does not hesitate to let himself be tainted with copper!

Wallace was choked up and unable to speak, but hurriedly recorded Galen's noble words and deeds in his notebook.

He completely regarded the knight in front of him as a moral model, and he had already typed out a long draft of the report on Galen in his heart.

Nami watched from the side with the corners of her mouth twitching.

She really wanted to open the cap of the young reporter's mind and see how much water had entered his mind.

After Wallace wrote down all his experience in lectures, he looked up at Galen again and sighed:

"It's because my thoughts are too shallow, and I misunderstood you as the kind of layman who is greedy for money!"

"No problem."

It became a habit for Galen to say famous words in front of Wallace: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing better than good."

"sorry!"

Wallace sincerely bowed his head and apologized, took another piece of paper from his pocket, and tore it to pieces in front of Galen and Nami.

"What are you doing?"

Galen asked inexplicably.

Wallace threw the broken pieces of paper away, and said in a reverent tone:

"Just now I was blind and misread Lord Galen."

"I was thinking of using a check of one million Baileys to repay your life-saving kindness."

"Thinking about it now, this kind of insignificant 'small profit' is an insult to your noble deeds!"

"Cheque?"

Galen was slightly taken aback.

"One million Baileys?"

Nami clenched her fists.

The two looked at each other, and became worried at the same time tacitly.

I received more than 20 rewards in one day after signing the contract. Compared with the previous book, this achievement has taken off. Thanks to every book friend who feeds!

There are also [Lolikong Ye Shenyue], [Zhu Han], and [ProjectY] three rudders, thank you very much! !

However, I did not add more functions for salted fish (; ￣ ェ ￣)
