A Pirate's Counting Life

After choosing their respective rooms, Mark asked Shirley to rest first, and he went to the lobby to wait for his time to come back. He felt a little embarrassed to keep calling.

Bourne made Mark a pot of black tea and took some pastries, and stood respectfully aside. Mark scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Grandpa Bourne, please go back and rest first."

This was the first time that Bourne heard someone call him grandpa. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. The words of rejection in his mouth were swallowed back when he saw Mark's sincere eyes.

He nodded slowly to Mark and turned to leave. After the sound of Bourne's footsteps disappeared, Mark picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it. The taste was unexpectedly delicious.

It wasn't until 10:30 that he opened the door and walked in. He casually hung Zhengyi's coat on the hanger specially placed for him at the door.

"Why aren't you sleeping, kid?"

Sora came and sat down opposite Mark, picked up the teapot and wanted to pour himself a cup of black tea. He looked at the teapot without a drop of water.

Kong curled his lips and put the teapot back on the table, and said casually to Mark, "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, I have to go and rest."

“I have a friend whose sister might need a job as a secretary?”

"What are you telling me about the secretary's job? I don't care about that."

Kong rolled his eyes at Mark. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Mark strangely.

"You...don't you want her to be my secretary?"

Mark nodded frantically with an expression on his face that said, "You must be smart." Kong rubbed his forehead and said unhappily, "All documents are confidential, I don't need a secretary."

Mark didn't know what to say for a moment. He suddenly realized that he had taken it too much for granted, and had entered into the misunderstanding of his previous life, thinking that high-ranking officials would have secretaries, and that during the Warring States Period, they needed to keep a pet to handle documents.

Sora will definitely destroy those secret documents, how can he have people by his side all the time?

Just when Mark felt that he had done something stupid, Kong sighed helplessly.

"Oh~ I can arrange a logistics job for her."

"Thank you, teacher. Thank you very much. I was abrupt just now. Please forgive me, teacher."

Mark stood up and made a ninety-degree bow to Kong. Kong stretched out his big hand and touched Mark's head. Just as he was about to say something, Kong heard Mark's teasing voice.

"But teacher, your aesthetic sense is indeed a bit poor. How could anyone put a stone statue of themselves in underwear at the door?"

Kong's forehead horns jumped, and the big hand stroking his head suddenly became stronger.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts! I want to die! Teacher, have mercy!"

Kong ignored Mark's angry pleas for mercy and continued to increase his intensity.

Mark, who was still very relaxed, instantly felt a sharp pain in his skull, and his eyesight became a little dark. He could even hear the cracking sound coming from his skull, and subconsciously used his weapon color.

"You brat, if you dare to make fun of me next time, I will spank your ass."

Kong slowly let go of his hand, patted Mark's shoulder, and walked up to the second floor with a relaxed expression.

Suddenly I felt a lot more comfortable. Sure enough, the apprentice was here to beat him.

Kong is ready to find any reason to beat the other party again tomorrow to release the anger accumulated from the recent correction of documents.

He was simply fed up with this life of correcting documents. He preferred to go to the sea to clean up the scum.

The title of Cyborg Kong was not given by a batch of documents, but by punches and kicks.

When the footsteps disappeared, Mark slowly stood up, rubbed his swollen head, and walked towards the stairs to go back to his room to rest.

Mark just came downstairs early the next morning when he heard Sora's roar.

"You brat, don't you know you need to step with your right foot first to enter the living room?"

Mark, who was still a little confused, suddenly woke up after hearing this and looked at Kong Kong in shock.

Without waiting for him to speak, Kong continued, "It seems that I want to teach you what etiquette is today."

Mark was led to an open space by Kong with a confused look on his face. Looking at the empty lawn, Mark suddenly reacted. The other person just wanted to beat him, and any etiquette was just a random excuse. Fortunately, he thought Kong, who looked rough, wanted to teach him. My aristocratic etiquette.

Mark glanced at Kong, who was 1.8 meters tall, and thought about himself who was [-] meters tall. He felt a little weak, helpless, and pitiful for a moment, and wanted to play GG to let Kong free himself.

"Boy, let me see how much you have improved in the past two years. Your little girlfriend is still watching. If you don't show some strength, you may be beaten into a dog by me."

Sora crossed his arms and spoke in a very unkind tone. Mark, who originally wanted to shrink back, trembled when he heard this and felt the encouraging eyes behind him.

He felt that he could fight back to kill Kong. Mark looked at Kong with a stern look as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, pointing one finger to the sky and the other to the ground.

"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mark felt a sense of self-confidence surge out of him. What kind of steel was there in front of him, but he was just a bidder?

Just when Mark was about to cut Kong off the horse with a knife and then go back to hug Shirley's thin waist, a dark fist appeared in front of him.

Mark subconsciously wanted to pull out the Xue Ying to block, but when he grabbed it with his right hand, he caught Lonely. Only then did he remember that his Xue Ying was still in the room.

With this one second of time difference, Mark missed the best opportunity to block. He had no choice but to crouch down to dodge, and then hit Kong's lower body with a sweeping kick.

Kong lightly stepped on the ground and flashed behind Mark, grabbing Mark's head with his dark palms.

"shave"

Mark shouted and disappeared in an instant. Just as he was about to use Moon Step to fly into the sky to gain air supremacy, a figure appeared in front of him and reached out to grab his neck.

Mark quickly turned his head to avoid it, but the hand seemed to press the tracking device, and Mark followed closely as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Mark's eyes narrowed, and he used his hands to protect his chest and slammed into Sora. The strong force made Sora's body shake. Mark's pupils shrank. He thought he could knock back the opponent's attack, but it turned out that the attack only caused the opponent to shake his body.

At this moment, a big hand tightly hugged Mark's waist, holding him into the air. As the arm continued to shrink, Mark's face also showed a painful expression. Mark pressed his hands hard on Kong's abdomen, trying to push him away.

"Mayfly shake the tree!"

Kong snorted coldly and wrapped his other hand around him, directly pressing Mark into his arms.

"what!!"

Mark let out a roar of pain, and kept outputting his armed domineering energy, trying to resist the huge force generated by the contraction of Sora's arms.

But it's a pity that the huge power that Mark is proud of is so vulnerable in front of Sora

"Mark, come on!"

Just when Mark was about to give up, Shirley yelled loudly, and her dim eyes lit up instantly.

His right hand moved slightly, and he quickly grabbed Kong's lower body. After Kong, who was originally calm and gentle, sensed Mark's attack with his sense of sight, his expression changed instantly and he quickly let go of his hand, bending down and retreating to avoid Mark's attack.

Seeing Kong retreated, Mark did not continue to rush forward, but used the Moon Step to reach the sky and used Lan Kick towards Kong below. For a moment, the dust was flying. Mark's sight was blocked, and he subconsciously used the seeing and hearing color to sense the surrounding atmosphere and sense what was behind him. That breath as hot as the sun

Cold sweat instantly fell from his forehead. Kong locked Mark's neck with one hand and held down his head with the other. Then he put his face next to Mark and gave him a ferocious smile.

"Are you the only one in heaven and earth?"

"Um...if I say this is a misunderstanding, would you believe it?"

Mark tried his best to make his eyes look sincere. Kong nodded slowly, and Mark felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

The teacher still loved him, but a pain came from his neck the next second

Even though he was covered in armor, he could feel the pain of his muscles being squeezed, and a feeling of suffocation came to his heart.

"Are you still alone? I don't even dare to say such things. Who gave you the courage?"

Kong strangled Mark's neck and looked at him with a smile. In order to breathe, Mark had to increase the output of his armor.

The two were deadlocked in the air, and Mark also tried to attack Sora's abdomen with his elbow, but the shock force caused a pain in his elbow.

But the instinct of survival still made him endure the pain and keep hitting Kong with his elbows. As time went by, Mark's elbow strikes became weaker and weaker. Looking at Mark's slightly drooped hands, Kong shook his head in disappointment.

"You are still as reckless as before. Fighting is not only about strength, but skills are also indispensable. Who gave you the confidence to not use Haki when facing a strong person?"

Kong paused for a moment before saying helplessly, "Boy, the battle is not a child's play. It will end as long as you admit defeat. The real battle is life and death. You try your best to kill the enemy. It's hard for me to trust you like this." You go and destroy the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line."
