One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House

Chapter 52 The Arrival of Oak Thorin

In the main building of Steel Islands, Lily is sitting at the desk, reviewing various reports. Sitting on the lower right is Fato. As the end of the year approaches, he is calculating this year's income and expenditure.

"Dai, is there any news over there?" After finally approving the documents on hand, Lily stretched, then turned to ask the person helping.

"According to the previous news, if there are no accidents, we should be able to return today." said a boy who specializes in managing phone bug communications.

"Okay, let me know immediately if you come back. How much work do you have left for Fa Tuo?" Lily nodded, then turned to ask Fa Tuo.

"Ms. Lily, I'm afraid I still need a few hours to calculate here." Fato said without raising his head. There are many smart people on this island. After all, those who can be taken into custody by the World Government are either good at using force or good at using their brains. , but being smart does not mean that you are good at calculating accounts. This kind of thing still needs to be taught to professionals. For people like Fato who can destroy a country's economy, calculating accounts is really not difficult, but it is too cumbersome.

"Okay, I'll go catch up on some sleep first. Send someone to notify me when Dai comes back." After Lily said that, she walked towards her room. She had summarized a lot of things at the end of the year, and Lily didn't sleep well in the past two days.

But maybe God was against her. Lily had just washed herself and was getting ready to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.

"Big sister! Big sister! Sister Dai has returned with her people and is now in the main hall!" the girl in charge of delivering the message shouted to Lily's door.

"Okay, I understand, I'll go right away." Lily shouted slightly angrily, but she couldn't get angry at others. After all, it was her own order. Helpless Lily could only punch the pillow. , after venting a little, he immediately changed his clothes and walked towards the main hall.

At this time, in the main hall.

"Hahahahaha, this little girl Lily is really capable. If her master can see it, he will definitely be very happy." Standing in the middle of the hall is the blacksmith master who was on Angsa, Oak Thorin. And he was also the person Dai went to look for this time. Lily found that there were all kinds of weird people on the island, but there were no really good blacksmiths. Those who could be used were all from Delesroze. Coupled with the newly found demon sword Red Shadow, Lily also had the idea of ​​​​pulling Thorin onto the pirate ship. Even if it didn't work, she would at least let him help teach a few apprentices.

"Mr. Thorin, Sister Lily will be here soon. Please sit down and rest for a while." Dai really didn't know what to say to the old man who was no more than her thighs. He left later than Jin, but Relying on the fruit's ability to travel, he came back earlier than Jhin.

"Sorry sister Dai, my teacher may not have been out for a long time and is a little too excited now." A little girl next to Dai said to Dai.

"It's okay, it's just that Mr. Solin is old. I'm afraid that the old man will be too excited and hurt his body all the way back."

"Don't worry, he's an old oak, he won't be so tired." Lily arrived at this moment and said slightly teasingly.

"Stinky girl, you called me Old Oak? Hahahahahaha!" Thorin looked back at Lily and shouted pretending to be angry, but he couldn't help but laugh first.

"Long time no see, Senior Thorin." Lily walked up to Thorin and bowed respectfully. She was teasing him because of the good relationship, but after all, he was his elder, and Thorin could afford this gift.

"Long time no see, Lily, I saw it right. Red Shadow is destined to be with you." Thorin also stopped laughing, stroking his beard and looking at the tall Lily and the Red Shadow Demon Sword behind her.

"It's just luck." After Lily said that, she took off the red shadow behind her and handed it to Thorin. Now this knife is the most suitable size and shape for Lily. For Thorin, who is only a little over one meter tall. It was a little too huge, but Thorin took it without hesitation.

"Yes, Red Shadow has completely admitted you." Thorin looked at the red shadow in his hand that had not changed at all and nodded. If he had not completely recognized Lily, as the caster of this knife, Red Shadow would have become suitable. Thorin is the right size, not the same size now.

"Tell me, why did you come to me?" Thorin handed the red shadow to Lily again. He knew full well that Lily's request to pick him up was not as simple as just looking at the red shadow.

"Let's not talk about it for now. You guys have come all the way back and haven't eaten yet." Lily waved her hand, then turned to look at Dai, "Dai, go and give instructions to prepare dinner in the kitchen, and take the key to the wine cellar to get it." Come back with a few jars of soju."

"Yes, eldest sister." Dai took the key from Lily's hand and left in a hurry.

"Senior Thorin, let's chat while we eat." Lily made an invitation gesture and guided Thorin and the little girl beside him to the restaurant.

Chatting about home affairs all the way, the three of them came to the restaurant. I dare not say it in other places on Ghost Island. The kitchen is definitely the busiest place. Four teams work in three shifts and the fire is non-stop throughout the day. After all, these pirates never have a fixed time to eat. , there were people going to sea and returning from time to time, so when the three of them came to the restaurant, food was already being served to the table.

The three of them, plus Dai who came back with the wine jar, sat down separately. Lily personally filled the bowl in front of Thorin with wine.

"This bowl will be used to wash away the wind and dust for you, senior Thorin, do it!" Lily held the wine and raised it towards Thorin.

"Huhahahaha! Do it!" Thorin shouted while sitting on a high stool, holding up a wine glass, and then drank the wine in the bowl.

"Hoo-hiccup, cool, I haven't had this liquor for a long time since your master left." Thorin shuddered and said with a refreshing feeling.

"My skills are still not as good as my master's."

"Not bad, it just took a short time to store. If it was stored for a longer time, it would be exactly the same as your master's."

"That's impossible. We are all drunkards here. I have to carry the key of this wine cellar with me, otherwise I'm afraid these two jars would be stolen by them." Lily thought of Kaido often running to the wine cellar to steal wine and she was helpless.

"Hahahaha, normal, I did this before, huhahaha." Thorin was even happier when he heard this. When he was in the Dwarf Kingdom, he often went to his friend's house in the tavern to steal wine.

"Speaking of which, did Dai tell Senior Thorin about our situation on the way back?" Lily asked after drinking another bowl of wine.

"I heard there are many excellent mineral veins here. To be honest, I haven't been to the mine for a long time. If I wasn't going to see you, I would have wanted to go to the mine to take a look." Thorin's eyes lit up when he said this. He was a typical dwarf. Mining, forging and drinking were deeply buried in his blood.

"In that case, you should rest for a night. I'll find someone to accompany you to the mine tomorrow." It's not that Lily doesn't want to go. The mine is not that high. It's probably difficult for her to walk even if she squats.

"Okay, I must go to see those little treasures." Thorin rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard it, then picked up the wine jar and gulped down a few big mouthfuls, his face full of intoxication.

"By the way, Senior Thorin, who is this little girl?" Lily pointed to the little girl sitting next to Thorin and eating vegetables without saying a word and asked.

"Oh, her, my new apprentice. Compared with those useless guys before, this girl is very talented." Thorin introduced the people around him with pride.

"Hello, Ms. Lily." When she heard that she was speaking, the little girl stood up and saluted Lily.

"Long-legged tribe?" Lily raised her eyebrows. This kind of body proportion is usually only found in the long-legged tribe.

"Yes, a long-legged tribe, just like you, she was swept up by the storm. She was the only one left on the whole ship. I found her when I was looking for materials. I didn't expect that she was quite talented, so I took her in as my apprentice." Thorin said with a smile.

"Nice kid, how old are you? What's your name?"

"My name is Smith Caroline, I'm 12 years old this year!"
