A Pirate's Counting Life

Just when Mark could hardly sit still, Jamie walked in and shouted to Mark

"Let's go buy some ingredients and get together in the evening."

"Ok!"

Mark quickly stood up and walked towards Jamie quickly, dragging him outside and walking outside. After leaving the backyard, Mark breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jamie gratefully.

None of the food that Shirley eliminated was something he liked to eat. The two of them came to the ninth block, which is close to the port and is almost a gathering place for supplies.

Jamie took Mark to a seafood restaurant and asked the boss, "Do you have Neptune meat?"

"Guest, you are at the right time. My fleet just caught a medium-sized sea king and a small sea king today. How much meat do you need?"

The boss looked at Jamie somewhat flatteringly. Behind him was a colonel, who seemed to have a strong background. The boss decided to please him. Maybe his taxes would be cheaper in the future.

"I want both of them. Send them to Minnie's grocery store in the fifth block. How much is the total?"

"Five... no... 30 Baileys"

The boss quoted the cost price and looked at Jamie attentively, his eyes full of longing. Jamie shook his head and handed the other party 50 beli.

"I'm not the kind of person you think, and I don't like taking advantage of others."

The boss looked at Bailey in his hand and was slightly startled. Then he showed eight teeth and stretched out his left hand towards Jamie.

"Everyone calls me Old Jack. Boy, I appreciate you coming to my place to buy things in the future and I will give you a [-]% discount."

Jamie also smiled and shook hands with the other party, and said softly, "Nice to meet you, old Jack. You can call me Jamie. I opened the grocery store just now. If you come to buy things in the future, I will also give you a [-]% discount." "

Old Jack laughed and nodded to Jamie. Jamie paid the money to the other party readily, left the seafood shop with Mark, and walked towards the grocery store without worrying at all that the other party would not keep his word.

In Marineland, as long as you abide by the law, everything is fine, but if you want to cheat, you have to ask the navy's swordsmen for permission.

"I asked the teacher about Jenny. She may not be able to be a secretary."

"It's okay! You've done a lot."

Jamie quickly spoke out to comfort his friend, but a trace of regret flashed deep in his eyes. Mark rolled his eyes at Jamie and said helplessly.

"Can you please let me finish my sentence? Although Jenny can't be a secretary, the teacher has agreed to let her go to the logistics department. From now on, she will probably have to stay in Marineland."

"Really!"

Jamie pulled Mark with excitement and kept saying, "Great! Great!"

"Xiao Meng, don't look!"

A woman covered her son's eyes and said with disgust, "Stay away from that friend of yours from now on. You two are too close. Remember, if you dare to bring me a boyfriend in the future, I will break your legs!"

The little boy nodded obediently. The woman felt much better when she saw this, but when her eyes moved to Mark and Mark, they looked like shit.

Mark took his hand out of Jamie's arms with a look of disgust. Just as he was about to step forward to explain a few words, the woman turned around and ran toward the crowd with the child in her arms, as if some man-eating beast was following behind her.

After the woman's fuss, Jamie also recovered from the excitement, looked at Mark helplessly, and said softly, "Sorry, I'm just too excited."

Not long after the two returned to the grocery store, old Jack brought the ingredients over. Mark was responsible for cleaning the ingredients in the kitchen, while Jamie kept carrying rum to the courtyard.

Not long after, Jenny also came back. Looking at the two people working in the kitchen, Jenny rolled up her sleeves and sat next to Shirley under Jamie's expectant eyes.

She casually picked up the snacks that Shirley didn't like and ate them happily. Shirley, who was still wary at first, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party was not here to compete with her.

At night, four people gathered around the hot pot. Jenny raised the wine glass in her hand and said excitedly, "Hey, I was transferred to the logistics department today. Brother, you don't have to worry about my safety in the future."

Jenny used to be afraid of death, especially after seeing her brother break his leg. She was afraid that no one would take care of her lame brother after she died.

"Hahaha, congratulations Jenny"

Jamie wiped the black ash on his face and raised the wine glass in his hand to clink it with his sister.

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Jenny suddenly said, "Brother, you look so shameless."

Jamie giggled and touched his face randomly, making his face darker.

The four of them had a hearty meal of hot pot. Mark took Shirley and left the grocery store. After the two left, Jenny said to Jamie who was clearing away the dishes, "You asked Mark to adjust the position for me, right?" "

Jamie was stunned for a moment and then nodded slowly. Jenny showed a real expression and said helplessly, "This won't affect your friendship, right?"

Jenny knew how difficult it was to transfer positions, and she also understood how much her brother valued this good friend, and was worried that she would cause a rift in their friendship.

"No, Mark doesn't care about this. Moreover, he promised to give me the position of adjutant. Although I am lame and cannot be an adjutant now, there is still no problem in exchanging the adjutant for a logistics position."

Jenny looked at her brother's proud look and thought about Mark's performance at the wine table tonight. She felt a little more relieved. She got up and came to Jamie's side to clear the dishes with him.

Mark held Shirley's hand and walked down the street, and said to Shirley beside him, "I'm going to go to sea tomorrow."

"Ok"

Shirley nodded casually, and Mark said with some confusion, "Don't you ask why? And you can rarely eat these delicacies after going to sea."

Shirley hugged Mark's arm tightly and whispered, "No matter where you go, I will accompany you."

Mark's eyes flickered and he looked down at Shirley, then nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I will take you with me wherever I go from now on."

Back at the manor, Mark asked Bourne if he was back. After learning that he was in the study, Mark asked Shirley to go back and rest first.

Mark knocked lightly on the wooden door of the study room, got Sora's permission, and then pushed the door open and entered.

"Teacher, I'm going to leave for the Grand Line tomorrow."

Mark said with a serious face, Kong frowned and said unhappily, "I personally hope you can calm down a little more. Although you have the strength of a lieutenant general, life and death fighting is not a child's play. Your mentality still makes me a little worried."

Mark was a little moved. After thinking about it for a while, he said shyly, "The main reason is that I have been a little tight lately and I want to go out to sea to fight pirates and get some kickbacks."

Kong looked at Mark in shock, wondering if he had worked too hard recently and had hallucinations.

"You're going to sea just for this? Which is more important, life or money?"

After searching for a while, Marx said in a low voice, "Of course life is more important, but I don't think the first half of the Grand Line will cost me my life."

Mark held his head up confidently, Kong rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "Okay, since you have decided, let's leave it as it is. One of your warships is parked at the shipyard. You can go there and find it yourself tomorrow."

At this point, Kong paused and continued, "Let me catch you [-]% of the spoils to enrich your own pockets, otherwise I will make him understand what cruelty is."

“Why is it only the eighth floor?”

Mark said with some dissatisfaction, rolled his eyes and said in a bad tone, "Eighty percent of it belongs to the Navy Headquarters, and the remaining two floors belong to you."

Mark pursed his lips and finally resisted the urge to curse, muttering in a low voice, "What about my manpower?"

"I'll call you back tomorrow with three hundred new recruits. Okay, that's it. Get out of here, you bastard."

Kong waved his hand impatiently, and Mark wisely exited the room.
