Branch 153 base.
Monka sat in his office, the curve of his mouth almost couldn't contain his AK!
He never imagined that after all those years of catching pirates in the East China Sea, he hadn't been promoted, but was promoted to the rank of Colonel of Branch 153 because of a rabbit!
Although the official appointment hadn't come yet, both Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Garp had given him their affirmation.
Of course, he had to thank the bounty hunter Zoro for this opportunity that had helped him leap forward.
Across from the desk, Zoro sat on the sofa, equally uncomfortable due to the sudden praise and adoration.
Especially when Navy Headquarters Admiral Borsalino arrived at the base in a flash of light, he felt his heart almost leap to his throat.
The reason was simple, he always felt something strange about this whole thing.
That Doupi dog named Drupi was clearly a partner of the Red Rabbit Kirilenko, but he turned over the Red Rabbit to the Navy for five hundred million berries.
The most critical part was that the Red Rabbit not only didn't resist, but actually hoped he could successfully get the bounty and warned him not to run away with the bounty!
Run away with the bounty?
Even if he had that idea, he wouldn't be able to run, right!
Who knew what that Doupi dog was up to, wherever he ran, Drupi could always predict in advance and appear in front of him.
It was just ridiculous!
Of course, none of that mattered!
The important thing was that his intuition told him that Doupi dog must have had other plans when he turned the Red Rabbit over to the Navy!
"Mr. Zoro, have some tea!"
Just then, Monka broke the silence in the office. He got up and walked in front of Zoro, saying politely: "Don't worry, the Navy and the World Government wouldn't break their promise for a mere five hundred million berries, your bounty will be in your hands soon!"
Zoro nodded, he only had one thought now, get the bounty as soon as possible, give it to Drupi, and then stay away from this mess!
“Bang—"
Suddenly, the tightly closed office door was pushed open with force, and a middle-aged man in a white robe walked in.
"Bounty hunter, Zoro!"
As soon as he entered the office, the middle-aged man took out his ID card and threw it to Monka, walked straight to the sofa opposite Zoro, sat down, and went straight to the point: "I have a few questions I need to verify with you, as long as your answers match what we know, you can take the bounty and leave!"
Before Zoro could react, the middle-aged man continued: "Let me introduce myself first, I'm Yodo Yotsufu, I work for the government's intelligence department, mainly responsible for the murder of Celestial Dragon Charlos Saint."
Still not giving Zoro a chance to speak, Yodo Yotsufu suddenly changed the subject: "First question, where did you catch Red Rabbit Kirilenko?"
"In the Selmag Town waters!"
Zoro didn't hesitate, he immediately said: "At that time, I was on the boat, basking in the sun and blowing the wind, the Red Rabbit suddenly fell down. I didn't know at the time that this Red Rabbit had caused such a big thing, so I didn't think much of it and pulled him on board..."
"After I went ashore, I found that the Red Rabbit was weak, breathing more than breathing, he seemed like he was about to die, so I thought of finding a veterinarian in town!"
"But when I got to the town, I found out that the Red Rabbit I saved was actually a criminal!"
"So, while he was still weak, I took him to the base gate and then met Lieutenant Monka!"
Yodo Yotsufu nodded: "Mm-hmm, you go on, I'm listening!"
“??? ” Zoro had a few question marks: "...I'm done!"
"Oh, yes!" Yodo Yotsufu nodded again: "Second question, according to what we know, when you brought the Red Rabbit to the base gate, the Red Rabbit was not only not weak, but also knocked a Navy soldier flying with one punch. Now, that Navy soldier is still in the hospital, twenty-five ribs broken, and he should be dead!"
"?" Zoro had another question mark on his head: "Isn't the human body only supposed to have twenty-four ribs?!"
"Third question!" Yodo Yotsufu ignored the second question and said with a serious expression: "When you pulled the Red Rabbit aboard, did you see a Doupi dog? Or did you see one before you took the Red Rabbit to the base gate?"
Hearing that, Zoro secretly felt a pang of fear, but he still tried to keep calm and shook his head: "No!"
"According to what we know, it was the Red Rabbit who killed the members of the Goa Kingdom royal family and Charlos Saint, but he was able to escape from the Goa Kingdom because of the Doupi dog with the ability to teleport!"
Hearing that the Doupi dog had the ability to teleport, Zoro's mouth twitched slightly.
It's probably not just teleportation, sir, that dog can predict our predictions!
"If you are lucky enough to encounter that Doupi dog again, please contact us immediately." Yodo Yotsufu casually pushed a suitcase in front of Zoro, and then said: "Although there is no bounty for the Doupi dog now, as long as you can provide useful information, the reward will be equally generous!"
Zoro nodded: "Definitely!"
Yodo Yotsufu finally showed a smile: "You can go!"
Zoro didn't leave immediately, but opened the suitcase in front of Yodo Yotsufu and Monka.
Seeing a stack of brand new berries and some gold bars neatly arranged inside, Zoro didn't waste any more time, closed the suitcase, stood up and left.
After watching Zoro walk out of the office, the smile on Yodo Yotsufu's face disappeared instantly, he took out a Den Den Mushi and ordered: "Follow this bounty hunter and see where he goes next and who he meets! If you find anything suspicious, arrest him immediately!"
Hearing this, Monka, who was standing respectfully aside, had a look of puzzlement in his eyes, when the other party finished the call, he cautiously asked: "Mr. Yodo Yotsufu, you..."
Yodo Yotsufu seemed to know what Monka wanted to ask, and he simply said: "It's just that I feel something unusual about this! Think about it, we sent out so many warships and manpower and couldn't find the Red Rabbit, how come he, a newly debuted bounty hunter, just happened to find him?"
"Most importantly, that Red Rabbit is very strong, he wouldn't be able to capture it with his strength! Although he said that the Red Rabbit was very weak at the time, I still feel that this matter is not as simple as we see it!"
"Of course, luck is also a kind of strength sometimes! Maybe he really got lucky!"
