Chapter 24 A bit greasy

The pirates' attack did not cause any waves on the Konomi Islands. Although many people on the island had known about it in advance, thanks to the prestige of Xia Che, since Colonel Xia Che did not notify anything, everyone continued to do what they should do, and there was no chaos.

It was only at the celebration banquet last night that everyone really knew about it.

Therefore, although everyone was a little surprised afterwards, they returned to peace after one night.

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

What's more...

Not to mention the civilians on the island, even the group of pirates who came to rob didn't know what happened.

They were obviously here to rob, but... they just saw the outline of the island and didn't have time to get excited, and they fainted.

They were caught when they woke up.

They didn't even know what happened.

Therefore, although the bloodbath of the 16th Navy Branch was a big deal, it ended very calmly.

It was not even as lively as the banquet last night!

...

Today is a holiday.

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

Therefore, many factories have specially closed today.

And Pike... the leather factory where he works is one of them.

Although even if he works all the time, from morning to night every day, as long as he can eat enough, his daughter is not bullied, and does not have to go hungry, he will be very satisfied.

What's more, he works here in the Conomi Islands and gets paid.

How unimaginable this is!

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

He, the father who should have taken his daughter to pick up garbage at the garbage dump, can have a job that can eat enough, sleep peacefully until dawn, and have a salary to buy new clothes for his daughter.

Yes, everything the old lady who served them food said at that time has come true.

It's like a dream.

But...

Pique lowered his head and looked at his daughter, who was no longer wearing the tattered, gray, ill-fitting and ugly clothes he picked up from the garbage dump, but a pink skirt he bought for her after getting her 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 skirt, also raised her head in confusion, blinked her crystal eyes, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, 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 cute daughter!"

No need to pick up garbage, no need to fight with everyone for smelly and rotten garbage like a wild dog, no need to sleep in a stinky garbage dump...

It's great!

It's really great!

"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 with a little loss, "If... Mom can see it too."

Then the words fell.

"..."

Looking at the lost Katie, Pique fell silent after hearing Katie's words, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Katie's mother died of starvation.

Even if it was rotten and smelly, the garbage that others didn't want was also precious food for them to survive.

Unfortunately~

Katie's mother didn't hold on 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 you can! So, Katie must be happy too, don't let mom 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 mom worry."

"What a good child, it's rare that dad is also on holiday today, let dad reward such a good Katie!" Pique hugged Katie and said with a smile, "Does Katie want anything? Dolls? Skirts, or snacks?"

Looking at Katie, whose eyes lit up, but soon lowered her head and was a little entangled, Pique knew what this well-behaved child was thinking, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Dad still has money."

Although he had only been here for a few days, the kind boss still gave him an advance on part of his salary. Without having to spend money on food and housing, he still had a lot left after buying a little skirt.

"It's only because Katie is so good today~"

"Katy is always good."

"Really? When daddy is working, has Katie been staying well? Did she cry?"

"Yes, Katie didn't cry. She stayed at home well, waiting for daddy to come back."

"What does Katie want?"

"Well~, can Katie take a look first?" Hearing her father's words, Katie frowned cutely and tilted her cute little head, as if she was in trouble for what she wanted. "Can Katie wait a while before letting daddy buy it?"

"Then let daddy take Katie for a good shopping today!" Faced with his daughter's request, Pique also smiled and agreed.

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

He knows...

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

he.

Will definitely work hard!

Then, taking Katie with them, the two father and daughter happily strolled around the bustling streets of Cocosia Town.

…

And the other side.

"Pique, the master of the tannery factory, was recognized by the factory for his good tanning skills and got a good job. He is also very diligent and conscientious in his work. He may be praised by the factory soon. "Looking at Xia Che who was staring curiously at the father and daughter, Robin thought for a moment and then said casually.

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

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

As someone who had been following the BOSS, she was very aware of the situation in Cocosia Town at that time.

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

It still feels a bit incredible~

Recalling that he was driving a small boat on the sea and looking at the sea in confusion, but after seeing himself, he excitedly invited his BOSS, Robin's mouth showed a smile.

At that time, she originally planned to stay with the poor colonel who was sent down for a while and then run away, but before she knew it... so much time had passed.

Do you want to say that this BOSS is a good person?

As soon as she arrived in the East China Sea, she took the navy and civilians in her base into the sea to become pirates. As a navy, she went behind the back of the navy headquarters to take in her, the son of a devil. How could she be a good person?

But just such a fawning naval captain saved a lot of people.

Just when Robin seemed to be thinking about something, those smiling eyes made Xia Che feel uncomfortable.

Why did he look directly at him after suddenly introducing the father and daughter? Is there something that we can't talk about at night?

Still want...

Xia Che looked at the secret Colonel's chicken nuggets in his hand, forked a piece and handed it over, and asked doubtfully, "Do you want to eat it?"

"???"

Robin, who was brought back from his thoughts, also looked at the chicken nuggets handed to his mouth with a puzzled expression, but after being stunned for a moment, he still smiled, lightly brushed his hair on his forehead, stretched his head, and opened his mouth. Her soft red lips were full of temptation and she bit them directly.

Then under Xia Che's surprised eyes, after taking two bites, he frowned again, wiped his mouth gracefully, and said, "A little 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.

"OK!"

A familiar voice came from behind.

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

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

I saw.

Nami directly crossed her arms, revealing her chest, which was not in line with her age, but had the characteristics of the sea. Her cheeks were bulging and she stared at Xia Che with a resentful tone, "I am busy alone, but you are carrying me..." I’m walking around here…”

However.

The words are not finished yet.

"嚓~"

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

Not a moment.

After biting a few times and swallowing, Nami frowned, "Well, it's a bit boring!"

"Yeah~, I also think I'm a little tired of today's chicken nuggets. We need to talk about it later so as not to damage my reputation as a colonel." Xia Che also nodded and looked at the empty chicken nuggets bag. , said with satisfaction, "I couldn't even eat anymore, but you two just finished it together."

"???"

Robin and Nami were stunned when they heard that they didn't want it, so they gave it to them.

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

Xia Che spoke again, changed the topic directly, and said, "By the way, how are the profits this time?"

The words fell.

Sure enough~

When she heard the word "profit", Nami, who was originally angry, suddenly became excited. Her eyes seemed to be emitting a strange light. She hugged Xia Che's hand with excitement and said, "It's a big profit. We really made a big profit this time." "
