A Pirate's Counting Life

Mark was walking on the streets of Leah Island, and the pedestrians around him looked at Mark with respect.

I always try to buy things at discounts because I'm afraid that Mark will suffer a loss. Mark's face is full of black lines when he sees it.

"Master Marine, consider these apples as gifts from me."

A 50-year-old white-haired man directly stuffed a bag of apples into Mark's arms. Although his daughter standing next to him had some reluctance in her eyes, she didn't say much.

"Then thank you"

Mark thanked him and the old man waved his hand quickly, "The adults are protecting us from pirates. These apples are just a little thought of the little man."

Mark smiled and nodded, then squatted down and said to the little girl aside.

"Little guy, how old are you?"

The little girl hid behind her mother, clutching her mother's clothes with her little hands. After hearing Mark's question, she raised her head and looked at her mother. When the other party nodded, she whispered.

"eight years old"

"You are eight years old. Let me test you with a question. If you answer it correctly, my brother will be rewarded."

When she heard that there was a reward, the little girl's eyes lit up and she said crisply, "Then what if I didn't get the answer right?"

"If you don't answer correctly, I will treat you to an apple."

After Mark finished speaking, he shook the apple in his hand. The little girl swallowed and looked at her mother again. Seeing her mother nodding, the little girl whispered

"Then you ask"

After saying that, he stared at the apple in Mark's hand with his small eyes. Mark smiled slightly and took out a red apple and said softly.

"Look what color this apple is"

"Red"

The little guy held his little head up and looked proud. Mark was amused by this look.

She couldn't help but touch the other person's little head. Although the little girl was unhappy, she saw Mark handing her an apple with his other hand.

His face immediately turned gloomy and he hugged the apple happily. Mark felt warm in his heart when he saw this.

He took out a thousand-denomination note from his arms and put it in the little girl's hand.

"This is your reward"

After speaking, he touched the little girl's head again.The woman on the side wanted to say something, but Mark held out his hand to stop her.

"You are also running a small business. It is the duty of our navy to protect the people."

After Mark finished speaking, he was about to leave, but when he passed the old man, he stopped and said slowly, "Old man, don't do this again in the future. Not everyone can resist the temptation. You give him ten yuan today and he will pay you tomorrow." will want more”

After speaking, Mark left the stall without waiting for the old man to answer. The old man didn't come back to his senses until Mark was gone. He understood what Mark said.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back. How could a person like him, who had lived for decades, not understand the darkness of human nature? Before, he did that regardless of the cost just because he was grateful for everything the navy had done for them.

The old man who came back to his senses secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Just like what the navy said, some people can resist temptation and some can't.

Once the other party becomes greedy, the whole family will be doomed.

"Oh~ I am an old fool now. Fortunately, I met a righteous navy this time, otherwise our family would be in trouble in the future."

The old man looked at his daughter and granddaughter and said with emotion. His daughter quickly comforted him. After seeing that her father's mood had stabilized, the woman slowly squatted down.

Looking at her lovely daughter, she said softly, "Tiantian, mommy will keep this money for you first. When you grow up, mommy will return it to you."

"Okay!"

The little girl happily put the thousand pele into her mother's hands, without realizing that the thousand pele was no longer with her.

Seeing that her daughter was so obedient, the woman quickly reached out and touched her daughter's head, "You are so sweet."

The little girl's eyes turned into crescent moons, and she kept rubbing her mother's palm.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, the woman put away the thousand beli and stood up slowly. The little girl suddenly pulled her hand.

"Mom, eat an apple"

Looking at her daughter's distressed eyes and the missing piece of the red apple, the woman smiled.

"Eat it sweet, mom doesn't want it."

"Ok!"

The little girl took the apple back and gnawed it happily. The woman shook her head slightly and sighed secretly.

"She is such a foodie. I wonder if she will still be so happy when she understands that one thousand beli can buy a lot of delicious food."

The smile on this woman's face grew even stronger when he thought about it. Mark walked around the town and found that the residents here all supported the navy.

He also put away the little thoughts in his heart. This time he came to the West Sea not only to clean up pirates, but also wanted to clean up some navy bugs.

He only mentioned this matter to Kong and never told anyone else, and Kong was very supportive of it.

At night, when Mark was preparing to rest in his room, he suddenly heard the voices of several officers under his command.

When he opened the curtains, he saw a few people with disheveled clothes, red faces, and many lip marks. Mark immediately became angry and cursed.

"A bunch of scum! How dare you go to a custom shop! It's a shame for the Navy! And you didn't take me with you when you went to a custom shop! Extra punishment!"

Mark walked out of the room angrily, stopped the three of them, and saw Mark with a cold face.

The three of them were half awake after drinking the stimulating wine in an instant, and they quickly saluted Mark.

"Hello Lieutenant Colonel!"

Looking at the crooked three people, Mark waved his hand impatiently and yelled, "Why did you come back so late! You still smell of alcohol and asked where you were!"

The three of them looked at each other and didn't know how to answer this question. They just said that it would definitely not be possible for the three of them to go to a custom shop.

"The three of my subordinates went to the izakaya to have a few drinks."

The captain reacted first and explained quickly, winking at the two of them as he spoke.

"Yeah"

The remaining two people immediately transformed into yes-men, and Mark coldly said:

"The next is not an example"

Then he turned around and walked towards the house. There was no way he would punish the three of them for such a trivial matter.

He was a little angry in the house just now, but as soon as he came out, the anger was blown away by the cold wind. However, he couldn't just leave without saying anything after he came over, as that would make him look very dishonorable.

After taking two steps, Mark stopped again. The three of them quickly straightened their bodies, thinking that Mark had changed his mind.

"Remember to wipe off your lipstick next time"

Without saying a word, Mark shaved his head and went back to the room. The three of them reached out and touched their cheeks at the same time. Looking at the lipstick marks in their hands, all three of them felt a little embarrassed.

It's a bit embarrassing to be caught by your boss while visiting a custom shop, and it's even more embarrassing for a 13-year-old boss.

After four days of rest, the warship set sail again. Before leaving, Mark asked Moses for a reward order for pirates in the area managed by Branch 23.

Lying on the recliner, Mark took out the reward order with the highest bounty. The captain of the Giant Ax Pirates, Giant Ax Meng Li, had a bounty of 300 million.

Mark's mouth twitched when he saw the King Kong Barbie on the bounty order. Just looking at Meng Li's face alone, he could still charge, but if he added the opponent's muscular body

Even though Mark had seen the animated version of King Kong Barbie in his previous life, he was still a little inferior to this Meng Li. After all, there are differences between animation and reality. It would have been too eye-catching if he hadn't been profound enough.

He was probably going to lie on the deck as helpless as the several officers beside him.

Except for Meng Li, none of the other pirates have made tens of millions. At this time, the tens of millions of bounties are still relatively valuable, not as frivolous as in later generations.

At this time, almost all the tens of millions of pirates have the strength of the captain-level officers of the headquarters. Compared with the navy of the four seas, the navy of the headquarters is about three levels stronger than them. The captain-level officers of the headquarters have the strength of the school-level officers of the four seas branch.

So this Meng Li still has a few tricks up her sleeve. At least in this sea area, a 23rd branch alone may not necessarily be able to defeat the opponent.

A bounty of 5000 million will give you school-level strength. If the bounty exceeds [-] million, a major general will have to be dispatched. If the bounty exceeds [-] million, a lieutenant general will need to personally take action.

Pirates with a bounty of over [-] million during this period are all well-known on the sea. Mark can now deal with pirates with a bounty of less than [-] million at most.

After [-] million, he can only show the other party his moon steps.
