A Pirate's Counting Life

Hals ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield, and then took Mark back to the branch building. Mark pointed to his residence and led Hals to the door and opened the door.

Hals sat down on the chair very naturally, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He picked up the senbei on the side and ate it, and said to Mark who was stunned.

"You're welcome, sit wherever you want."

Mark sat down on the chair with some indifference. For a moment, he felt that the other person was the owner here and he was a visiting guest.

Hals took the phone out of his arms and put it on the table and dialed the empty number.

"Hey, Hals, are things done?"

"It's done now. Your apprentice is by my side now."

Kong, played by Telephone Bug, frowned slightly and said displeasedly, "It's done when it's done. What do you mean it's done?"

Hals scratched his head and said depressedly, "Moara was killed by your apprentice."

"what?"

Kong, played by Telephone Bug, opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

"I was surprised when I heard it for the first time. According to what he said, Moara broke an arm and was seriously injured. Plus your apprentice learned the weaponry, so I didn't doubt it anymore."

"Oh, it turns out that he has learned Armed Haki, so that makes sense. Wait...what? You said Mark has awakened Armed Haki?"

The phone bug glared at the boss, and Mark was a little worried that his eyes would fall to the ground in the next second.

"Ahem... I awakened my armed domineering energy when I was 14 years old. To be honest, I was a little surprised. I remember telling him to be humble and like me. I awakened my armed domineering energy at the age of ten. Do I talk nonsense to people everywhere? I'm young. People are a little impetuous, so you have to supervise them."

Hals was a little shocked at the unreliability of his old friend. Can you even say this when you are ten years old and have an armed color?Hals glanced at Mark secretly

He secretly laughed in his heart and told you to pretend to be a pen. Now he will be ruined in front of his disciples. He felt that he could laugh about this for the rest of his life.

When the other party dies, he will have this incident engraved on his tombstone. Mark has a clear understanding of the strong people in this world.

The 80-year-old Sora only lost a single move against the Red Count Baloric Redfield in his prime, and the Red Count was captured by Garp and taken to Impel Down due to lack of physical strength.

Mark feels that his life will not be easy in the future. When he thinks that he will face Rocks, Newgate, Roger, Shiji and other famous pirates at their peak, Mark feels his head hurt.

This is much more exciting than the Age of Discovery. Mark was scared but also excited at the same time.

Now that I have awakened the two-color domineering power, as long as I keep practicing, I may not be able to compete with the opponent.

After calming down his excitement, Mark began to listen carefully to the conversation between the two, probably because he was there.

The two of them kept talking about what happened back then, and Mark fell asleep listening to it.

The two chatted for 10 minutes before hanging up the phone. Hals lightly knocked on the wooden table. Mark immediately raised his head and wiped his saliva with his hand, saying respectfully.

"Lieutenant General Hals, what are your orders?"

Looking at Mark who looked respectful, Hals nodded slowly.

"Since the Sword Pirates have been wiped out by you, I have no reason to stay here, so I will leave now."

Mark looked at Hals who was motionless and curled his lips in disdain, but on the surface he still asked respectfully.

"How about you teach me the Haki of armed color?"

"Since you sincerely ask for advice, I can't let you down, so I will stay and teach you how to be domineering for a month."

Mark looked at the smiling little old man opposite him with some astonishment. In a daze, he seemed to see Kizaru's wretched smiling face.

"Uh... Lieutenant General, when will we start training?"

"What training?"

Hals looked at Mark in astonishment, as if he didn't understand what you were talking about.

"Um...didn't you say you wanted to call me domineering?"

Mark was a little reluctant to give up. After all, the teachings of a lieutenant general were still very useful.

Hals said with some dissatisfaction, "To put it bluntly, domineering is just a matter of time and effort. It is constantly consumed and then recovered. When the time is up, you will naturally become stronger."

Mark is now sure that the other party just wants to use him as a shield so that he can fish out his life here.

When he thought of this, Mark stopped paying attention to the other party, stood up and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

As soon as I walked to the door, I suddenly realized that this was my room. I looked back at Hals who was sitting there drinking tea and eating senbei.

"Lieutenant General Hals, this is my room."

"and then?"

Mark tried hard to suppress the urge to curse, and said pleasantly, "Do you think it's time for you to go back to your room and rest?"

Hals patted his head and said slowly, "It looks pretty good to me."

Mark's forehead twitched slightly, he took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

He couldn't afford to offend him and couldn't hide anymore, so he asked Colonel Cohen for a new room. Mark lay on the new bed and began to think about the domineering training Hals said.

Subconsciously turning on the knowledge, Mark decided to keep it open at all times until he was exhausted.

No matter what, I have to increase the coverage to five digits. After practicing hard for two days, I found that I didn’t make much progress.

Mark came to the port to ask Hals for some questions. Looking at the back of the man sitting on a rock leisurely fishing, Mark seemed to see an extraordinary person.

But when he got closer, that feeling quickly disappeared. Looking at the fish floating in the water and blowing bubbles, Mark felt that the other party was lonely, but he still admired the other party's state of mind.

He didn't get angry like this, which shows that the other party's self-control is still very good. If it were him, he would have kicked him down. No wonder he is a lieutenant general and he is a lieutenant colonel.

As the distance got closer, a purring sound began to sound in Mark's ears.Just when he was still three meters away from Hals, the snoring suddenly disappeared, followed by Hals's magnetic voice.

"Are you here? Come and sit."

"Hello Lieutenant General Hals"

Mark respectfully gave a military salute to the other party, slowly sat down next to the other party and said casually

"The Lieutenant General is so elegant."

Hals first looked at the fish in the water, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then pretended to be relaxed and said

"The most important thing about fishing is to cultivate your moral character and empty your mind. At this time, you will discover many things that you have not discovered before."

Mark looked at the lake speechlessly. He could clearly sense Hals' guilty conscience with his sight. Even without the sight, he had heard the other person's snoring just now. Although he knew that the other person was lying, he was asking for help now. He could only agree

"What you said makes sense, and it really benefited me a lot."

Hals had a cowardly expression on his face and said softly, "What do you want from me?"

Mark said that he was dissatisfied with the slow progress. Hals frowned slightly and looked at Mark who looked anxious and spoke slowly.

"I don't know why you are so urgent, but strength is accumulated bit by bit, and there is never one step to the top. Even if you eat a Devil Fruit, you will still need subsequent development to become a strong person."

Mark also found that he seemed a little impatient, but when he thought about the coming chaotic era, he wished he could immediately have the strength of a general.

After being silent for a while, Mark slowly said, "Lieutenant General Hals, I want to go out and practice by myself."

Looking at Mark with a serious look on his face, Hals frowned even deeper. The other person obviously didn't listen to his words. After thinking for a while, Hals said helplessly.

"I still say the same thing, strength is accumulated bit by bit. Since you insist, I have nothing to say. Sora, I will help you say it. You should be more careful."

Seeing Mark's excited expression, Hals added, "I'll give you two years at most. Your class will graduate in two years, and you must come back to attend the medal ceremony."

Mark said with some confusion, "Have I not been appointed to the rank of lieutenant colonel? Why do I still need to attend the medal ceremony?"

"This is just a special situation for you. You still have to be present on your graduation day."

Hals patted Mark on the shoulder and said slowly, "If I were you, I would catch more pirates in the past two years. Your military rank might be able to move up by then."

After saying that, he winked at Mark, as if he was giving instructions to his juniors.

Mark nodded thoughtfully, and Hals's face suddenly darkened when he saw Mark walking away.

"You guys are really smart! Don't you know I'm here to fish? You still dare to come up and spit bubbles!"

Hals flicked his fingers and an invisible force directly smashed the head of a fish into pieces. Upon seeing this, the surrounding fish immediately dispersed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hals put away the fishing rod a little irritably, and jumped in anger when he looked at the eaten bait on it.

Cursing and putting away the fishing rod, Hals felt that the feng shui here was not very good, and he was going to go fishing in a place with good feng shui.
