Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 24 A Bit Tired

The pirates' attack did not cause any waves on the Konomy Islands. Although many people on the island had already known about it in advance, thanks to Colonel Xia Che's prestige, since Colonel Xia Che did not notify anyone, everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do and no chaos occurred.

It was only after a celebratory banquet was held last night that everyone really knew about it.

Therefore, although everyone was a little surprised afterwards, everything returned to calm after one night.

Everyone on the Konomy Islands still trusts Xia Che very much.

not to mention……

Not to mention the civilians on the island, even the pirates who originally came to rob didn't know what was happening.

They were clearly here to rob, but... they fainted as soon as they saw the outline of the island and before they had time to get excited.

When I woke up, I was caught.

I don't even know what happened.

Therefore, although the bloody massacre of the 16th Navy Branch caused a lot of uproar, it ended unusually peacefully.

It’s not even as lively as last night’s party!
……

Today is a holiday.

Thanks to the arrival of the pirates last night, today will be very busy in order to arrange the work of the pirates.

Therefore, many factories have deliberately closed today.

And Pique...the leather factory where he worked was one of them.

Even if he worked all the time, from morning to night every day, he would be very satisfied as long as he could eat his fill and his daughter was not bullied or hungry.

What's more, he gets paid for working here in the Conomi Islands.

How unimaginable this is!

You have to know that in other places, these refugees only have the right to pick up garbage. Even if they work for others, the slave owners will not let them eat enough and pay them wages. But here...

He, a father who was supposed to be picking up trash at the garbage dump with his daughter, now has a job that allows him to have enough food to eat, sleep well until dawn, and have the salary to buy new clothes for his daughter.

That’s right, everything the old lady who served them meals said came true.

It's like a dream.

but……

Pique lowered his head and looked at his daughter, who was being held by his hand. She was no longer wearing the tattered, gray, ill-fitting and ugly clothes she had picked up from the garbage dump, but was wearing a pink dress that he had bought for her specially after he got his salary. He couldn't help but smile.

[If this is really a dream, please let Katie grow up happily like this, and then let me wake up. ]

At this time.

"Dad~" Seeing her father suddenly lower his head and stare at her while walking, Katie, who was wearing a beautiful pink dress, raised her head in confusion, blinked her sparkling eyes, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think Katie is very cute today!" Hearing his daughter's words, Pique, with a smile on his face, also laughed and hugged Katie, "This little skirt really suits my lovely daughter!"

No need to pick up trash, no need to fight with others for smelly and rotten trash like a stray dog, no need to sleep in a garbage dump worrying about rotten garbage...

that's nice!

really good!

"Of course, this is the first gift my father bought for me. I will cherish it." Katie also hugged her father with a smile, and then said a little disappointedly, "If... Mom can see it too."

The words fell.

"..."

Looking at the lost Katie, Pique fell silent after hearing Katie's words, with a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Katie's mother died of starvation.

Even if it is rotten and smelly and the garbage that others don’t want is also precious food for them to survive.

What a pity~
Katie's mother didn't stick around until now.

But looking at the somewhat lost Katie, Pique, as a father, took a deep breath, smiled comfortingly, and said softly, "Mom will be very happy to see Katie so happy now."

"Mom...can you see it?"

"Of course I can! So, Katie must be happy and don't let your mother worry!"

"Well, Katie will always be happy!" Hearing her father's words, the little girl Katie nodded heavily and said seriously, "I won't let my mother worry."

"What a good child. Daddy has a day off today, so let Daddy reward such a good girl like Katie!" Pique hugged Katie and said with a smile, "What does Katie want? A doll? A skirt? Snacks?"

Seeing Katie's eyes light up, but then she lowered her head and looked a little tangled, Pique knew what this well-behaved child was thinking, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, Dad still has money."

Although he had only been there for a few days, his kind boss still gave him an advance on part of his salary. So he didn't have to spend money on food or housing, and after buying a little skirt, he had a lot left over.

"It's only because Katie is so well behaved that we can have this today~"

"Katie has always been very good."

"Really? So did Katie stay well while Daddy was working? Did she cry?"

"Yes, Katie didn't cry. She stayed at home obediently, waiting for her dad to come back."

"So what does Katie want?" "Well, can you let Katie take a look first?" Hearing her father's words, Katie frowned cutely and tilted her cute little head, as if she was in a dilemma about what she wanted. "Can Katie wait a while before letting daddy buy it?"

"Then let Dad take Katie for a good stroll today!" Faced with his daughter's request, Pique agreed with a smile.

There was a hint of emotion and gratitude in his eyes.

He knows...

It was because of Colonel Shatcher that he could now agree to his lovely daughter's request like a father.

he.

Will definitely work hard!
Then, taking Katie with him, the father and daughter happily strolled along the bustling streets of Cocosia Town.

……

And the other side.

"Pike, a master in the leather factory, has been recognized by the factory for his excellent leather-making skills and has got a good job. He is also very diligent and serious at work. Perhaps he will be praised by the factory soon." Looking at Xia Che who was staring at the father and daughter curiously, Robin thought for a moment and said casually.

As a competent secretary, she still remembered some trivial things, for example, this talented person in front of her who had a special skill among the previous batch of refugees was one of them.

Continuing to look at Xia Che who was eating the Colonel's chicken nuggets, a specialty of Cocosia Town, Robin couldn't help but reveal a hint of emotion in her bright eyes.

As someone who had always followed the BOSS, she was very clear about the situation in Cocosia Town at that time.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, it has developed into what it is now. Even now...

Still feels a little weird~
Thinking of the time when Milu was driving a small boat on the sea, looking at the sea in confusion, but after seeing himself, he excitedly invited his BOSS, Robin showed a smile on his face.

At that time, she had originally planned to stay with this poor and demoted colonel for a while before running away, but before she knew it... so much time had passed.

Do you think this BOSS is a good person?

Can a man who, as soon as he arrived in the East China Sea, took the navy and civilians in his base to go out to sea as pirates, and as a navy, took in her, the son of the devil, without the knowledge of the navy headquarters, be a good person?
But it was this naval captain who flattered his superiors and bullied his subordinates who saved so many people.

Just as Robin seemed to be recalling something, those smiling eyes made Xia Che feel a little uncomfortable.

Why did she stare at him straight after suddenly introducing the father and daughter? Couldn't she talk about it in the evening?

Still want...

Xia Che looked at the secret Colonel chicken nuggets in his hand, picked up a piece and handed it over, asking doubtfully, "Do you want to eat it?"

"???"

Robin, who was brought back to his senses, looked at the chicken nugget handed to his mouth with the same puzzled look on his face, but after a moment of hesitation, he still smiled, lightly lifted his hair in front of his forehead, leaned over, opened his soft red lips full of temptation, and bit it directly.

Then, under Xia Che's surprised eyes, he took two bites, frowned again, wiped his mouth elegantly, and said, "It's a bit greasy~, but not bad."

The words fell.

"..."

Xia Che looked at Miss Robin who actually ate today, blinked in surprise, and was about to say something.

At this time.

"Okay!"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Even if Xia Che didn't turn his head, he knew it was Nami's voice.

The two turned around and saw Nami who had appeared out of nowhere, before Xia Che could say anything.

I saw.

Nami crossed her arms, revealing her chest, which was not in line with her age but full of the characteristics of the sea. She glared at Xia Che with puffy cheeks and said with resentment, "I'm busy alone, and you are actually walking around here behind my back..."

however.

The words are not finished yet.

"嚓~"

Xia Che picked up another piece and stuffed it directly into Nami's mouth.

Not a moment.

After taking a few bites and swallowing it, Nami frowned, "Hmm, a bit greasy!"

"Really? I also feel a little sick of today's chicken nuggets. I'll have to talk to you about it later, so as not to ruin my reputation as a colonel." Xia Che nodded, looking at the empty bag of chicken nuggets, and said with satisfaction, "I can't eat any more, so it's just right for the two of you to finish one piece each."

"???"

Robin and Nami, who had stuffed the items into their bags, were stunned when they heard that they didn't want them.

Then Miss Robin smiled helplessly and shook her head, while Nami glared at Xia Che again, but before Nami could say anything angrily.

Xia Che spoke again, changing the subject directly, and said, "By the way, how was the profit this time?"

The words fell.

Sure enough~
When she heard the word "profit", the originally angry Nami shuddered, her eyes seemed to emit a strange light, and she held Xia Che's hand excitedly and said, "We made a lot of money, we really made a lot of money this time!"
