One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 821 Orange
"Ah! How did Robin tell that! It's so sour, not ripe at all, sour and astringent, bah bah bah, Hiyori, give me some water too!"

Yamato shouted while looking at Hiyori with a mask of pain on his face.

"No! It's your fault that you're so naughty!"

Hiyori held the kettle and rinsed her mouth frantically, but the sour taste remained between her teeth and could not be removed no matter what she did. Hiyori felt as if her teeth had become brittle.

"Didn't you do the same? Aaaaaah! I want water!"

Yamato's mouth was full of saliva now. God knew how he had managed to hold back the saliva from flowing out of his mouth. It almost made her feel like she was going to collapse.

"You guys deserve it. Here!"

Robin looked at the few people who were looking for water everywhere and said with a smile that this little trick was completely useless in front of her, the most sinister guy, and would only end up in trouble. However, they were friends who grew up together after all. After admiring their painful masks for a while, Robin threw out the water bottle that she had prepared long ago, which was immediately rushed away.

"What happened to them?"

At this time, Jack came out and looked at the people whose faces were all in pain. He asked curiously. He had just helped to move the oranges. Jack's manly principles included helping others. In addition, he saw that Bellmère's waist was uncomfortable, so he offered to help, and thus he escaped a disaster.

"It's your own fault. Don't worry about it. But Jack, how many oranges did you move? Why did it take you so long? With your physique, you should be able to move a lot at a time."

Robin asked curiously.

"A lot, a lot. Ms. Bellmère said she had just picked all the ripe oranges in the entire orange grove. What's left here are the unripe, very sour oranges. It's a whole warehouse. Even I can't move them all in a short time. But we don't need so much. I helped to sort them out after moving the ones we needed. Ms. Bellmère is amazing. She can do so many things by herself. I admire her very much."

Jack said with emotion that everyone's strength is different, so the measurement standards are also different. Although Bellmère's strength is nothing to Jack, the warehouse of oranges and the half-finished orange marmalade made Jack feel that such a powerful power is hidden in that small body.

"Hahahaha! Don't underestimate me! I was also a major in the navy!"

Bellmère walked over and said with a smile after hearing Jack's words, "The guy in front of him has a ferocious face, but unexpectedly he is a simple and honest guy. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

"Marine Lieutenant? In that case, is it really appropriate for you, ma'am, to do business with pirates like us?"

Robin asked. In fact, she had already guessed the other party's identity. From the calluses on her palms to some inconspicuous decorations in the room, all of them revealed the identity of the lady in front of her. It's just that the other party never mentioned it, so Robin never asked.

"That's all in the past. I'm just a civilian now. Besides, you guys probably don't care about these things. There are good and evil pirates too. I've seen through all this over the years. Want one?"

Bellmère took out a cigarette and gestured to Robin and Jack.

"Thank you, no, I don't have that habit."

"I don't smoke."

They both waved their hands and said.

"Well, this is good tobacco. The tobacco is grown and dried by the people on the island themselves. This is the only amount they have in a year."

Bellmère said with an expression that said you guys don’t have a good appetite, then he lit one for himself skillfully and started puffing away.

"Actually, there is something I wanted to ask you just now. Nochigo and Nami are not your biological children, Ms. Bellmère? They are very different in many aspects, not just their hair color."

Robin asked curiously.

"Yes, they are both children I picked up from the battlefield. If it weren't for them, I might have given up struggling. These two little angels are my motivation to live." Bellmère said.

"So that's how it is. You are a great man."

Jack nodded and praised without hesitation. That's just how he is. He says whatever he wants to say and never keeps things to himself, whether it's praise or criticism.

"Great? Hahahaha! Too exaggerated, too exaggerated. I am just an ordinary person."

Bellmère's face was slightly blushed, and she laughed to cover up her embarrassment.

"No, this has nothing to do with whether you are an ordinary person or not. Even ordinary people are still great, just like my adoptive parents. You are all great. This has nothing to do with strength."

Jack said very seriously that although he had never said it, he had always been grateful to Kaido and Lily for adopting him and treating him as their own son. He didn't say it because no one asked, but it didn't mean he had never thought about it.

"Adoptive parents? You too..."

Bellmère looked at Jack. She didn't expect that this tall and strong guy in front of her had also been abandoned.

"I don't know where my parents went. I was found in a picnic basket. My foster parents adopted me, raised me, taught me knowledge, trained my strength, etc. I am very grateful to them and am willing to repay their kindness with my whole life, even though I know it is impossible to repay them. And I think that for Nochigo and Nami, you are probably the same in their minds."

Jack said solemnly, not knowing what Kaido or Lily would be like after hearing these words. Kaido might increase Jack's training volume with a touched look on his face, while Lily might say indifferently that it is better for you to avoid trouble, and then go back to her room to express her excitement in her diary. But unfortunately, both of them were not there. Robin, as a listener, just smiled, while Bell-mère was thinking that she didn't want these, as long as Nochiko and Nami could grow up smoothly and safely, she would be content.

"Okay, Jack, I didn't expect you to be so cheesy. Let's wait for Nochigo and Nami to talk to Ms. Bell-Mel in person about these things. Let's calculate the money for these oranges. How many did you carry onto the ship?"

Robin noticed Bellmère's embarrassment and changed the subject.

"One ton. Exactly one ton. I brought half of it to Shanks and the others. It should be enough for us to eat next time. After all, Yamato and the others will probably eat very quickly. I feel like if there is less, there won't be enough."

Jack said bluntly that although the number of one ton sounds a bit scary, considering their appetite, it is just enough. If it can fit, Jack might buy some more.

"Then according to the market price, this money should be enough."

Robin thought about it, took out a thick stack of ten thousand yuan bills from his waist bag and handed it directly to Bellmère. The amount stunned Bellmère.

"This is too much money! There is no point in spending that much money!"

Bellmère waved her hands quickly. With that money, she could buy not only the oranges, but even her orange grove. Even two or three would be no problem. That stack would probably have several thousand bills.

"Take it. Nochigo and Nami also need money to live, right? These should make things easier. Your waist needs treatment, too. If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on any longer."

Robin said, but Bellmère still didn't intend to answer.

"No, business is all about being realistic. I can't take this money."

Bell-mère said firmly that it was not that she was not short of money, on the contrary, she was very short of money. Even if she worked very hard, she could only ensure food and clothing for a year. If it were not for the sudden pension from the navy, Nami and Nochiko would probably find it difficult to even buy new clothes. But this was definitely not a reason for her to take the money.

"Ah! He's alive!" Just as the two were making excuses, Yamato on the other side shouted, attracting their attention.
