Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

He bent down to pick up a few scattered documents on the ground and put them back on the table, then turned his head to look at a room inside.

"Is Ossie in there?"

"Yes, she and Jhin are here."

Oubey pointed to the closed door behind him.

Compared to the noise outside, it was very quiet inside the door, at least no noise could be heard.

Seeing someone else coming in with a form, La did not disturb Ou Bei's work and walked towards the room inside.

"dong dong dong~"

"Enter."

This is Jhin's voice.

La led Light into the room and found that there were not only Jin and Osi in the room, but also several other people sitting at their respective desks, busy writing and calculating.

The appearance of the two did not attract anyone's attention.

Except for the two special ones, Osi and Jhin, almost everyone in the room had dark circles under their eyes, as if they would die suddenly at any time.

Glancing around, La soon spotted Ossi, who was also writing and drawing on the table in a serious manner.

However, because she was too short, she stuffed a few books under her butt to cushion her posture.

"Ossie."

"what?"

Hearing someone calling him, Ossi raised his head in confusion.

Only then did La realize that the other person was wearing a headband with "赶欧超瑾" written in crooked Chinese characters on it.

"..."

La probably knew how Jin and the others made Ossi work obediently.

Without waiting for La to do anything, Osi jumped down from the stool, hugged her waist and started crying.

"Quack! Sister La, you're finally back!"

"When you were away, Ouba teamed up with that masked man to bully me!"

"Wuwuwuwuwu~"

This person pretended to cry and rubbed against La's arms.

He started telling tales the second they met.

Osi, you are really despicable now!

“Alright, alright~”

La patted Ossie's back gently.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Um... that guy Jin was too busy and wanted to ask me for help, but Oubey slandered me, saying that I only ate and slept, and that going would only cause trouble..."

"And you want to prove it to them?"

"..."

"Correct."

Well, although the facts may be different from what Ossi said, there is no doubt that he was provoked.

"Okay, it just so happens that I brought a helper for you this time."

La pointed at Wright behind him.

"Jin, this is Chuans Light, the man who used to manage the affairs of Fenrir Island. I came here specifically to be your assistant."

"Jin, long time no see."

Wright obviously also knew Jhin, and the two had dealt with each other frequently when Fowler was still alive.

He and Jhin usually met for non-combat matters, such as private information exchanges.

Although they have different positions, the two pirate groups have built some wonderful friendships during the long confrontation.

"Well, it will be easier with you joining us. To be honest, we've been a bit busy lately."

Without much greeting, Jin directly arranged a table for Wright, and then placed a thick stack of reports on it.

"I don't think I need to teach you any more. This is no different from your previous job."

Looking at the material in front of him that was almost taller than his head, Wright once again felt the huge malice contained in the four words "labor dispatch".

Since there was nothing else to do, Labian sat down to help.

Looking through the materials at hand, La found that these documents were diverse, ranging from the purchase of arms and the maintenance of warships to the old and new disputes among members...

All the files were just jumbled together without any sorting.

Even though the outside Oubey has already screened it, there are still many reports submitted with handwriting that is difficult to recognize.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the workload of everyone in the room.

But after all, they are "top students" who can write. In a place like Baishou where the academic atmosphere is not very strong, it is not easy to find a few of them.

Everyone could only accept it with a wry smile.

By the way, after being fed kilograms of text in the past few days, Obei and Osi should have gotten the hang of reading and writing the common language.

La also got the hang of it very quickly. Just like a fully automatic computer, he could handle trivial matters in just a few seconds per picture.

As for some issues related to the deployment of weapons and troops, since we didn't know the specific needs, we sorted them all out and left them to Jhin to deal with.

The good news is that those matters that really require cadres to make decisions account for less than 10% of the total, and the remaining 90% are basically trivial matters that are insignificant but must be dealt with in a timely manner.

With the efficiency of pulling, the trivial matters that occupied most of everyone's energy are disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

The workload for the rest of the team was also decreasing at an astonishing rate.

……

Finally, before dinner, everyone finished processing all the documents that had been piling up for several days.

Some people with dark circles under their eyes are still confused. They didn’t expect that they could finish their work before dying suddenly!

"Yo! Is it over?"

Burfat's rough voice sounded outside at the right time.

"The banquet is about to begin!"

"Don't worry, you go first, we'll wait a while."

Jin twisted his stiff neck. He planned to take a soak in the hot spring to relieve his fatigue.

The high-intensity mental work these days was a bit too much for him even as a member of the Lunalia clan. It was much more tiring than fighting.

Only Osi and Obei, two kids with unlimited energy, are still alive and kicking.

"Hot springs, do you want to go?"

Jhin asked everyone in the room.

"Of course!"

Wright signed up first. He hadn't showered for more than a week since the day he followed Fall on the attack.

This was already the limit of what he could endure for a man who usually dressed meticulously.

Although the rest of the people were a little hungry, they all planned to take a dip first and then enjoy the banquet.

Chapter 104 Hot Springs and Banquet (Part 2)

The open-air bath exclusively for the former Fore Pirates officers—

"thump!"

"Ah~ so cool!"

Ossi, who entered the pool first, groaned loudly and then began to doggy-paddling in the water.

In the huge women's bath, there were only three of them enjoying the warm spring water.

A group of grown men including Jin were all next door.

"I didn't expect there would be such a large hot spring in the base."

Ou Bei also leaned comfortably against a rock.

"Fenrir is a volcanic island, so it's normal for it to have hot springs."

La did not rush into the water, but instead used the golden hair accessories behind her ears to tie up her long golden hair.

"According to local archives, there are eighty-eight identified hot springs on the entire island.

There are eighteen of them with suitable temperatures and sizes, and this is only the second largest one.”

"It's so big and yet it's only ranked second? What about the biggest one?"

"The largest one is at the foot of the mountain. It's about the size of a football field, and it's very close to the residence of the former captain of the Fore Pirates, where Captain Kaido currently lives."

"Boss Kaido... That's right, a guy of his size does need a bigger hot spring."

Considering Kaido's height of more than seven meters, even the pool in front of him, which is half the size of a playground, would probably seem cramped.

After taking some effort to tie her hair up, La slowly immersed her body in the pool.

……

"Hey!"

wow~

Suddenly a scream broke the silence, and then a splash of water from the fence directly poured onto Ou Bei's face, who was closing her eyes and enjoying the scenery, making her frown immediately.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a red, unidentified object floundering in the water.

"Hey! Ossi, what are you doing?"

"Gurgle gurgle~Puff~"

Osi poked his little head out of the water and said awkwardly:

"I just heard the heated conversation over there and wanted to flip over to take a look~"

"I never thought this bamboo fence would be so slippery..."

"Tsk~"

Oubei was speechless because of Osi's enthusiasm.

You say she doesn't care about her gender... This guy never wears just an open vest or goes shirtless like other pirates, and now he also wraps the bath towel neatly above his chest.

But she cares... This guy usually calls her "Uncle", but just now he actually wanted to go straight to the men's bath.

"I said, can't you just calm down for a while and soak in the hot spring?"

Oubey turned over and faced away from Ossi, seemingly too lazy to look at the other's stupid face.

"Oh my~ You don't know, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"What do you mean by once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Watching a man take a shower? Why haven't I seen that before?"

"No! What's going on here?"

"I'm talking about that guy Jin! He's not a esper, so he's probably just a weakling soaking in the hot spring right now.

If we both go over there now, we can easily pin that guy into the water and beat him up!

How dare he order me around like this these past few days!"

As he said this, Osi used his hands and feet to start moving again.

"Ossie, be quiet and sit down."

"..."

"Oh."
