A Pirate's Counting Life

Chapter 184 Douglas Barrett

"Damn Skee!"

Charlotte?6?1 Lingling crushed the wine glass in her hand. The people she sent to gather the forces were all killed by Shiji, and the wealth on Hatchinos Island was also plundered by the other party.

Apart from her children, she now only has Baobao. With the reputation of the three strongest cadres of Rocks Pirates, she was able to quickly build a huge fleet.

She had been staying on Hatchinos Island to give birth to her children before, and her reputation was naturally not as high as the other two. Ever since she paid off John's debt, Edward 6 Newgate had awakened to some strange attribute.

Want to join his pirate team?No problem, call me daddy first!

Many people were persuaded to quit on the spot when they heard this request and directly switched to Golden Lion Shiji. There were also some people who were greedy for Charlotte?6?1 Lingling's body and went to join her, but most of these people became corpses floating on the sea, and only some rare ones Race survives

Mark stood on the bow of the warship with his arms around Shirley's slim waist, looking at the islands in the distance, and whispered, "Soon we will have a son."

Shirley showed a hint of shyness on her face, and looked at Mark with some annoyance, thinking that the other person was hinting at her.

Looking at the island in the distance, the figure of Douglas 6 Barrett flashed through Mark's mind. The opponent should have joined the army during this time, so it would be easier to find him.

"Stop, what are you doing here?"

As soon as the warship docked, an officer walked arrogantly and led a group of troops to stop everyone. Mark winked at Ophelia who was standing aside.

Two minutes later, the officer trembled and knelt on the ground, crying with runny nose and tears, "Sir, please spare my life!"

"I ask you something"

"I must know everything and say everything, and please be kind enough to spare my life."

Mark avoided the opponent's hands that wanted to hold his thigh without leaving a trace, and said in a cold voice, "Do you know a child named Douglas? 6? 1 Barrett?"

"I haven't heard of Douglas? 6? 1 Barrett, but we have an officer named Douglas here. I can take you to him!"

When Mark nodded, the officer immediately ran to the front of the team to lead the way. Four hours later, everyone arrived at a military camp.

"Sally, why are you here if you don't stay at the port?"

An officer stared at everyone with an unfriendly expression. Sally turned to Mark and shouted, "Sir, he is Douglas."

Mark slowly walked to the front of the team and said in a calm tone, "Do you have a child named Barrett here?"

Just when Douglas was about to curse, his eyes suddenly glanced at Mark's epaulettes. Seeing the rank of general on it, he immediately swallowed back the curse words. He squeezed out a smile on his face and said humbly, "You should be talking about number nine, right?"

Seeing that Mark didn't speak, Douglas said cautiously, "How about I go bring him here?"

Mark nodded slightly, and soon Douglas came to Mark with a seven or eight-year-old boy. Barrett, who had blond hair and was in tattered clothes, was a little timid in the face of Mark's gaze and subconsciously hid behind his superior.

After some observation, Mark determined that this was the person he was looking for. A smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his right hand and said in a deep voice.

"Be my son!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area fell silent. Barrett looked at Douglas with pleading eyes, and began to move his body back to avoid it.

Seeing Mark's gaze, Douglas quickly pushed Barrett in front of him and frantically motioned for him to call someone. If he wasn't afraid that Mark would reject him, he would have knelt down to recognize him as his father.

Barrett's face turned red and he whispered, "Old...Dad..."

"Oh~ good son!"

Mark held Barrett's hand, gently pulled him down to his side, rubbed the other person's head, and said to Douglas, "I'll take him away!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. Barrett looked back at Douglas, then at Mark, who was holding his hand, and finally took steps honestly.

After everyone left, Douglas breathed a sigh of relief. There was no pain of separation at all. For him, Barrett was just a tool in his hand. As long as he was alive, the tool could be replaced at any time.

After returning to the warship, Mark asked someone to take Barrett to take a shower. Soon Barrett, who was wearing a navy uniform, was taken to Mark's room. Barrett pulled off his tolerant clothes and whispered

"Daddy"

Mark looked at Barrett, whose temperament had changed drastically. He nodded with satisfaction, patted the sofa beside him and motioned for Barrett to sit over.

After hesitating for a second, Barrett came to sit next to Mark and subconsciously touched the sofa with his left hand. He had only seen officers sit on such a thing before.

"Since you call me daddy, I will raise you as my own son from now on. This is your mother."

Mark's voice brought Barrett back to reality. Looking at the blushing Shirley, Barrett shouted "Mother" in a crisp voice.

Shirley felt her cheeks burning, so she grabbed Barrett's face and rubbed it to try to relieve the embarrassment.

The four of them sat at the dining table at night, watching the delicious food. Barrett's throat rolled up and down. The habit he had developed in the military camp made him glance at Mark subconsciously.

"You brat, why are you so polite? Eat quickly or you won't have anything to eat in a while."

After Mark finished speaking, he picked up a piece of leg steak and stuffed it into his mouth. A minute later, Barrett finally understood the meaning of what Mark just said. Looking at his parents who were eating like a tyrannosaurus, Barrett suddenly felt that his eating appearance had changed. It can be called elegant.

"You brat, why do you eat so much? Is the food not to your liking?" Mark rubbed Barrett's head, and Barrett raised his head and said in confusion, "Don't you mind how much I eat?"

"How is that possible? You will inherit my wealth, reputation, and power in the future. How will you have the strength to train if you don't eat more? How will you inherit all this if you don't train?"

Mark lightly knocked on Barrett's head, turned around and walked towards the deck. Looking at Mark's leaving back, Barrett shouted loudly, "Father, I will never let you down!"

After hearing this, Mark stopped and turned around to smile at Barrett. Early the next morning, Mark took Barrett on the deck for physical training. As long as it was a goal set by Mark, Barrett would work hard to complete it.

Looking at Barrett with a smile on his face, Mark couldn't help but sigh that the environment can really change a person. After experiencing betrayal in the anime, Barrett became a person who only believed in himself and believed that he could surpass everything and gain everything with the power of one person. Mark doesn't want Barrett to become like that.

Ever since he heard the other person call him "Dad", Mark had the idea of ​​​​training the other person to become a naval marshal. At first, Mark regarded the other person as his son just to satisfy his own evil taste, and he wanted to talk about his sons in Whitebeard. Sometimes, Mark lets the other person see what a truly good son is, but after getting along for a few days, Mark likes the other person more and more.

Barrett was doing push-ups on the side, sweat dripping down his cheeks and falling on the deck. His eyes were full of determination.

Every time he went to an uninhabited island, Mark would take three people to explore the island, and arrange for Barrett to fight various beasts to increase his combat experience. Perhaps it was due to nature, but Barrett had a beast-like instinct. With this instinct, Barrett defeated his opponents time and time again. Coupled with the unlimited Neptune-like feast, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he soon reached the level of brigadier general.
