A lot of going around and around.

More than half an hour later, Zoro panted and sat down on the steps in front of the square. Unfortunately, he still could not find the main door of the Navy branch.

Fortunately, by this time, there was finally someone nearby who couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, that guy with green hair"

There was a shout from behind, and Zoro turned around in confusion and found a tall girl with orange hair appearing in front of him, frowning and looking at him:

"I see you've been walking around here for a long time. You've passed this square five or six times. What on earth are you doing?"

"Uh"

Zoro's old face was slightly red. Apparently he didn't expect that his lost process would be watched by others. He coughed awkwardly before replying: "Well, I'm here to see Colonel Hound of the 16th Marine Branch. Do you know who he is now?" Where is the person?"

"Colonel Hound"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he heard the name, Zoro faintly felt that the orange-haired girl's tone suddenly darkened, and her face became less pretty, "What are you looking for him for?"

"That's right, my name is Sauron, and I'm temporarily working as a bounty hunter."

Zoro explained, "Half a month ago, I killed the captain of the Daywolf Pirates. When I brought his head here to collect the bounty, Colonel Hound said that the base's funds were not enough and that I had to apply from above. I have to come back in half a month to get the reward."

"You actually believe this kind of nonsense"

The orange-haired girl's expression softened at first, and then she sneered, "Hey, you kid, you must have just gone to sea not long ago. Don't you know why that guy is called a hunting dog?"

"I really don't know." Zoro shook his head blankly.

"That man's original name is not Hound Dog. The reason why he was given such a name is that he is greedy and has a dog's nose. He never lets go of the benefits he has the opportunity to get, and he must swallow them up. Just be clean."

The orange-haired girl sneered, "Compared to him, the previous base commander of Branch 16, Colonel Mouse, is a good man. You don't have to think twice to know that your bounty was stolen by him, and you expect to get it back today."

"Colonel Rat"

Zoro was startled. He was familiar with this name. When he was at the Shuangyue Village Dojo, the teacher Wu Cun who had returned from the outside world often mentioned this name when telling his disciples about the legendary career of the world's greatest swordsman Xia Nuo. The guy named Mouse.

In Takemura's description, this mouse colonel can almost be described as full of evil. Not only did he take all the merits and bounties for killing pirates during the three years when Lord Xia Nuo changed his name to Yasuo, but he also took it from a slave. The down-and-out samurai who escaped from Shuangyue Village was packaged as "Yasuo" in an attempt to build momentum for his promotion through newspaper publicity.

However, every cause must have its effect. When the rat colonel was finally killed on the spot by the real "Yasuo", Lord Xiano, the people at the scene not only did not feel sad for him, but felt a burst of joy and clapped their hands and applauded. .

"A guy worse than a rat?"

Zoro suddenly felt distressed, "Why does this commander of branch 16 always produce guys like this? What will happen to my bounty?"

"You need this bounty very much"

The orange-haired girl raised her eyebrows, "I seem to have heard of your name before. Didn't you become the strongest pirate hunter in the East China Sea with that black-footed Sanji? Why do you still lack such money?"

Although the Hiroyuki Pirates are relatively well-known in the East China Sea, only the captain Hiroyuki Rata himself is wanted on the ship, and the bounty is only 2.5 million beli.

"I don't care about the title of the strongest pirate hunter in the East China Sea."

Zoro snorted, crossed his arms and said, "Although it's a bit unpleasant to be upstaged by that guy named Blackfoot, I didn't intend to do this in the first place. I just wanted to find someone in the Grand Line. But I couldn’t find a way out for several months, and all the money I had was spent, so I had to work part-time to save up my pocket money.”

"Is it because I got lost again?"

The orange-haired girl looked at Sauron speechlessly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Well, just come with me. Although the hounds can't do anything, maybe we can try with the Lieutenant Colonel in Baghdad."

After saying these words, she turned around and walked towards the street on the north side of the square. Seeing this, Zoro quickly grabbed his three knives and followed.

"Who is the Lieutenant Colonel in Baghdad you are talking about?" he asked curiously. "This military rank is quite high. Could it be that he is the deputy commander of this base?"

"Absolutely. In Branch 16, he is second only to Colonel Hound."

The orange-haired girl led the way while explaining, "He and my mother had a very good relationship at the beginning. I usually call him Uncle Baghdad in the base. If he hadn't protected me, I would have been there long ago." We can’t stay in this place anymore.”

"In the base" Zoro's eyes widened, "You are actually a marine too"

"Yes, my mother was a navy soldier. When I grew up, I also joined the navy. Isn't it normal?"

The orange-haired girl smiled and said, "Although you are a bit dull, you seem to be a nice person. Let's get to know each other. My name is Nami. I have been in the navy for two years and am currently a second lieutenant in this branch."

"That's amazing." Zoro was surprised and couldn't help but praise, "You don't look older than me. You are already an officer at the rank of second lieutenant. If you continue to work hard in the future, you may have the opportunity to become a colonel."

"That kind of thing is so far away."

Nami shook her head slightly, and then she remembered something, her expression dimmed a little, "If we change the base, there may be such a chance, but under the hands of the hunting dog, it will be impossible for a lifetime."

"It's really a headache to have this kind of commander around."

Zoro nodded subconsciously. Seeing that she still looked depressed, he scratched his head and was about to say a few words of relief when he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the right:

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Lieutenant Nami, the most beautiful woman in our base? What are you planning there? What do you mean there is no possibility of promotion under my hand?"

The two of them paused for a moment. Nami turned her head and looked at the figure in the alley on the right. Her expression suddenly changed, and her voice started to tremble:

"Mr. Houndhound"

Zoro frowned and turned around following the sound.

At the entrance of the alley more than ten meters away, a plump middle-aged man wearing a white justice trench coat pinched his mustache and walked slowly out of the alley.

Behind him, there were five or six navy soldiers in uniforms, with sneers on their faces as if they were watching a play.
