Pirates: Family History

Lister did not know about the conspiracy between the Prime Minister and Crick at this time.

Currently, he is doing daily exercises and researching fruit abilities.

suddenly!

"Master, there is an auction on the black market the night after tomorrow. It is said that there is a Devil Fruit that you need. Look..." Odyssey came to the school grounds and asked Liszt who was exercising.

"Black market? Devil fruit?"

Liszt raised his eyebrows, stopped exercising, and his face suddenly showed joy.

During this time, he has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Devil Fruit!

Because devil fruits are good!

On the one hand, it is to exchange for achievement lottery!

On the one hand, if the fruit ability is really good, he can stay and find a suitable person to use him.

"Okay, I will go to the black market to participate in the auction the day after tomorrow!" Liszt said seriously.

Although it is said to be a black market, it is not actually a hidden place.

Just one street east of Center Street.

Many people in Goa Kingdom know it.

The reason why it is called a black market is because there are many things of unknown origin in this place, and dragons and snakes are mixed together, making it quite chaotic.

but!

There is a reason why the black market can still exist and exist openly.

In this chaos, there is a force that maintains the basic order of the black market, forming a clear dividing line between the black market and ordinary people's lives. As long as ordinary people do not step into the black market, it is not a big problem even if they live in the surrounding area!

Moreover, the leader of this force has a high status in the Kingdom of Goa and is guaranteed not to be affected by the officialdom.

That’s why the black market still exists.

The leader behind this force is not a secret among the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa, and many people know it.

It is none other than It Shelburne, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Goa!

Well, what I have to mention here is that Prime Minister Shelburne is also one of the objects of Lister's suspicion.

After knowing the existence of the initiator, Liszt kept thinking about who the initiator was.

After careful consideration, although he still didn't determine who it was, he also listed several targets, including but not limited to the kingdom's dukes, generals, princes, etc.

Among them was Shelburne, Prime Minister of the Kingdom.

Shelburne is the prime minister of the kingdom and he holds a lot of power. From his control of the black market, it can be seen that he himself is not a law-abiding person.

For this reason, he was listed as a key suspect by Lister.

of course!

It's just suspicion.

After all, Liszt had no evidence and could not determine who it was.

Thinking!

"By the way, how much money do you have left at home?" Liszt suddenly asked again.

Auctions naturally cost money.

Before, Liszt could be sure that he had enough money to buy Devil Fruit.

But not necessarily now.

Regarding the beverage factory, although there are production lines and generators, the factory buildings, sites, recruitment of workers, etc. also require money, and it cannot be established just by talking in vain.

Under this situation, and some time ago, in order to find suitable personnel, Oniitsuji Mumei took away 1000 million as activity fees and went to the black market to purchase relevant information from intelligence merchants. He was not sure about the current money. Is it enough.

"Some time ago, we sold some gold and silver jewelry we obtained from Star, as well as some shops, ship sales contracts, etc. that we didn't need!"

"After leaving only some useful shop contracts that can charge huge rents in prosperous areas and are very profitable, and three small merchant ships, I collected about 3000 million beli in cash!"

"Including the wealth owned by our family and the hundreds of millions of cash the young master has put out, the total is about 6000 million Baileys!"

"But not long ago, Master Biao took away about 5000 million in cash, so now we only have [-] million beli in cash left!" Odyssey said sternly.

1000 million?

Hearing this number, Liszt breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Grand Line, places familiar with devil fruits, this may not be enough money.

But in the East China Sea, which is one-third of an acre, [-] million Devil Fruits is just about the same, and may not even reach this number.

"Reduce your expenses during this period and keep at least [-] million Baileys for me!" Liszt asked.

He didn't want to have no money to buy the fruit by then.

"understand!"

Odyssey nodded.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go down first, I'm going to continue training!" Liszt said seriously.

"Ok!"

After Odyssey agreed, he was ready to leave.

But at this time, he seemed to have thought of something again, and there was a look of hesitation on his face.

"Is there anything else?" Liszt saw his hesitation and asked quickly.

"That's it, Master! I'm already sixty this year, and I'm much slower at doing things than before, and I'm also a little out of my depth on many things, so... I hope Master can find someone to take over my position!" Odyssey said seriously.

Hear it!

Liszt looked him up and down.

He has gray hair and a stooped figure... Indeed, it's time to find someone to take his place.

"I understand! I will look for a suitable candidate later, but I still need to trouble you during this period, and when the new candidate comes, you will need to take it with you for a while!"

After Liszt responded, he looked at the old housekeeper and said solemnly, "In addition, I hope that after you find a new person, you will not leave. From now on, you can just take care of my father. When you are old, I will take care of you until you die!" "

The old housekeeper took good care of the family and was also very kind to Liszt.

In addition, he doesn’t have any parents, relatives or children, so in Liszt’s opinion, it is appropriate to support him until he is old and give him a gift until the end of his life!

"Master..."

The moment he heard the words "retirement and end of life", Odyssey was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Retirement and retirement are not something that can be said casually. This in itself represents a kind of responsibility and a kind of recognition.

If he didn't identify with him very much and felt that he was a member of the family, then under normal circumstances, Liszt would not say such a thing.

This sentence made him feel that all the care he had taken for Liszt in the past was worth it!

"You have taken care of us for so long, and you deserve it!" Liszt said with a smile.

It should be...

As soon as these words came out, Odyssey's eyes suddenly turned redder.

"Okay, you go down first!"

Looking at Odyssey, whose eyes were red and on the verge of tears, Liszt quickly waved his hand and said.

He didn't want to see an old man cry!

Hearing this, Odyssey also knew that this was not the place to cry. After nodding, he left here with red eyes.

Liszt continued to exercise.

Exercise.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Liszt followed the words subconsciously.

But at a glance, a familiar figure appeared in the school grounds.

She has blond hair, an oval face, fair skin, and a rather curvy figure. She is wearing a pink short skirt. Under the skirt is a pair of slender legs in white silk, and a pair of high-heeled sandals on her feet.

It was none other than Princess Sally Nandkanette.

"Princess, you came alone? Your Majesty allows you to come?" Liszt looked at her and asked involuntarily.

"no!"

Nandkanet shook his head and said, "The guards sent me here, but I asked them to wait outside, and I told my father that I wanted to come and play with you. My father agreed, so I came. of!"

"Oh!"

Liszt was stunned.

No wonder he didn't see anyone else.

"Then... Princess, what do you want to play?" Liszt said thoughtfully.

Nandkanet's cheeks were slightly red, and he walked up to Liszt, squirming, and said shyly in a voice that only two people could hear, "I think... I think... I want to play that day. Kind of a game!”

That kind of game that day?

When Liszt heard this, he immediately recalled what he had done that day.

Immediately, his eyes lit up!

"It seems...this princess really developed strange attributes by me unexpectedly!" Liszt thought to himself.

But at the same time, he grinned and responded without hesitation, "Okay!"

As a man, how could he refuse such a thing?

Even if he is still powerless now!

then!

A strange sound that resembled applause and humming soon sounded in the school grounds.
