A Pirate's Counting Life

"thanks……"

The girl whispered thank you. Fortunately, Mark's attention was always on the other person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear what was said.

"You're welcome, feel free to eat."

Mark picked up a piece of steak and ate it in two or three times. Looking at the girl’s surprised eyes, Mark wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.

"What are you looking at? You should eat it."

After saying that, without waiting for the girl to answer, Mark picked up a piece of steak again. The girl first picked up some of her own shredded potatoes, then looked at the meat on the table and swallowed.

After grinding a large mouthful of rice with shredded potatoes, Mark directly stuffed a piece of steak into the girl's bowl.

Watching the other person eat the steak with tears in his eyes, Mark showed a smile

"That's right, eat, eat, eat. It's boring for me to eat alone."

In order to cut off the girl's retreat, Mark picked up the other party's shredded potatoes, poured it into his mouth and pushed a piece of beef in front of the girl.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red. She lowered her head and ate the beef in small bites. As time passed, Mark looked at the girl in shock.

The other party had already eaten food for 100 people. Looking at the other party's slender figure, Mark felt that he might have found a treasure. His digestive power was as good as his own.

"Sorry, this is my first time to eat with ease..."

The girl lowered her head in embarrassment. Mark shook his head and said softly, "My name is Mark, what's your name?"

"Snow...Shirley"

The girl's voice is thin and frail. Every time, Mark has to listen carefully to understand what the other person is saying.

"Shirley, right? Do you still have family?"

Shirley's tone was a little sad, and she whispered, "No, they're all dead."

Mark nodded slowly and decided to take the other person away and train him well. He would leave it to him to deal with any cats or dogs in the future.

All I have to do is sit on the warship, drink tea, eat senbei, and wait for the good news.

The ideal scene in Mark's mind is that with a wave of his hand, Garp, Warring States, and Zefa will rush forward to clear the obstacles for him, and then he only needs to lie aside and wait for the harvest.

The two of them ate for another two hours. It was more of a competition than a meal. Mark wanted to compete with each other to see who was better. The girl had never eaten such delicious food and couldn't hold back for a while.

Just when Mark wanted to order more food for 100 people, the boss came over and said respectfully

"Dear guests, all the cooks in the store have collapsed from exhaustion. Do you think it's time to..."

The boss stretched out his right thumb and index finger and rubbed them back and forth, with a look of longing on his face.

"Well, I understand. Go and get me some wine to rinse my mouth with."

The boss turned around and left. Mark looked around and found no one and said to Shirley, "Do you believe me?"

Shirley blinked and looked at Mark with a cute expression. The next second, her hand was held by Mark.

Before she could struggle, Mark rushed out of the restaurant with her. The boss turned around with a smile on his face, holding the wine jar, and saw a scene that broke his heart.

"Come on! Someone is eating Overlord's meal! Help me stop them!"

The boss threw the wine jar on the ground, ignored the expensive wine, picked up his trousers and chased outside.

By the time he ran out of the hotel, Mark and Mark were nowhere to be seen. The boss sat on the ground in despair. The man in his thirties was crying like a child weighing two hundred pounds.

People around him stepped forward to comfort the unfortunate boss and ran out of the eight streets. Mark took Shirley and turned to an alley.

"You...let me go"

Mark looked at Shirley who was so anxious that she was about to cry. The idea of ​​teasing her came up in his mind. He stretched out his right hand to touch Shirley's chin and lifted it up slightly.

"Little girl, give me a smile. There are good men who smile..."

Before he could say the word "reward", Mark was punched by Shirley and flew from the end of the alley to the end of the alley. After he landed on the ground, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at the blood on the ground, Mark felt like he was under an illusion. Even though he was a lieutenant colonel, he was punched until he vomited blood.

Moreover, he didn't even react to what he saw and heard just now. When he came to his senses, he saw Shirley running towards him with an anxious look on his face.

Shirley was a little afraid of beating people to death. There used to be a gangster in the village who wanted to tease her but she beat her into a blood mist. After that, she was ostracized by the people in the village, saying that she was a witch and was forced to leave the village.

Mark was the most sincere person she met during her wanderings. Although the words he just said made her very angry, she had no intention of beating him to death.

"Are you...are you okay?"

Shirley looked at the figure kneeling on the ground with a worried look. Mark wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up pretending to be nonchalant.

He stepped on the blood he had spit out with his right foot and smiled at Shirley.

"I didn't expect you to be quite strong. I just wanted to make a joke with you."

"Pfft~"

Seeing the bloody teeth in Mark's mouth, Shirley couldn't help but laugh out loud. She suddenly felt that Mark was very interesting. Could this be what her mother said to her about saving face?

Seeing Shirley smiling, Mark quickly extended his right hand and said, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Mark and I am a navy man."

"Hello, my name is Shirley"

When she heard Mark Haijun's identity, Shirley frowned slightly, labeling him a liar in her heart. How could a navy eat the King's meal? But after all, the other guy treated her to a meal. Although she didn't pay, she was still very happy. Be grateful to the other person

After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and shook Mark's hand. Mark was relieved to see that the other party was not dissatisfied.

What he feared the most was that the girl opposite him was forced into desperation by the scum of the navy, and then left her hometown to seek life.

People like that have a natural repulsion towards the navy, and it will be difficult to persuade them to join the navy.

"Would you like to join the Navy with me?"

Mark looked at Shirley and said seriously. Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Mark continued, "Three meals a day."

"Really?"

Shirley looked up at Mark in surprise. She had never tested how much she could eat. Today, she ate 200 servings of food and she didn't feel full.

At this moment, Shirley was a little moved when she heard that she was full. She raised her head and looked at Mark's sincere eyes. Shirley thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Nice"

Mark cheered in his heart, and then showed a kind smile to Shirley, "From now on, you will be my personal soldier. Apart from obeying my orders and protecting my safety, you don't have to worry about other things."

"Yes, sir"

Shirley stood up straight and gave Mark a less than standard military salute. Looking at Shirley, who looked dirty, Mark stood up straight and saluted back.

There is no navy branch on this island. Mark plans to find an island with a branch in the future and ask them to pay the money to the boss just now.

He didn't want to owe the other party anything. The two of them walked to the entrance of the alley, and Mark stuck his head out and looked around.

After discovering that there were no pursuers, he took Shirley to a clothing store and bought him a new suit of clothes. It cost him [-] beli. When he left the clothing store, Shirley carried the newly bought clothes with a happy look on his face.

She had only seen this kind of fabric worn by the rich in the village before. When they came to the hotel, Mark handed the boss a thousand beli to open a room. Looking at the nine thousand beli in his hand, Mark wanted to break them in half. Come and use.

Shirley lowered her head and her ears were red, and followed Mark into the room.

"I...this is my first time, you have to be nice to me in the future."

"Ok?"

Mark looked back at Shirley with some doubts. He was just thinking about something and didn't pay attention to Shirley's words. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Shirley closing and locking the door.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Mark was startled when he saw Shirley walking towards him, and took two steps back in fear.

Shirley bit her lip, not knowing what to do next. Seeing Shirley stop, Mark was relieved, pointed to the bathroom and said softly

"Go take a shower, put on new clothes, and then have a good rest. Tomorrow we have to find a ship that can reach O'Hara."

Seeing the serious expression on Mark's face, Shirley blushed and realized that she had just misunderstood. She lowered her head and trotted into the bathroom.
