For the gangster or the mafia, being able to grow to the extent of the Osiris family is actually the pinnacle.

In the Crescent Kingdom (Island), although they did not replace the royal family, the shadow of Osiris can be seen in everything from the implementation of government decrees and tax elections to the streets and alleys, snake caves and rat roads.

Perhaps it is because this family is so powerful that when Osiris, who is the current godfather, is the godfather. After Ferro first revealed his intention to abdicate and make way for Xian last year, the battle for the next successor has been unstoppable under the table.

Although, according to the opinion of the main cadres of the gang, the next leader of the Osiris family should be under the eldest son, Osiris. Vito or the fourth son Osiris. Cassio.

As the most favored daughter of Ferro, no one can deny Osiris. Freira also had the power to inherit the family business.

… Even if she's just a girl underage.

In this situation, Freila suddenly approached her father and proposed that her savior Douglas take over part of the family's business, which of course met with a backlash from the two brothers.

To put it bluntly, the appointment of Douglas is far more symbolic than practical.

In the face of fierce competition for power, everyone is using this excuse to wrestle and probe each other, and no one can easily let go.

So, after two days of discussions, the appointment process, which should have been very simple, was finally concluded.

Compared to Osiris's direct lineage, which is in the center of power, Douglas himself knows the exact news a little later.

Taking advantage of this free time, the teenager has already prepared three or four sets of division plans for the future of the organization in advance, and at the same time, the little girl who was previously saved by Simon has finally fully recovered and is officially included in Douglas's plan.

Douglas: "Try to see how much paper you can manipulate at the most at the same time." ”

Lily: "Yes. ”

Maybe it was the stern warning of "the blade on the head" that night that left a deep shadow on Lily's heart... After Simon left, the girl's fear of Douglas was almost clearly written on her face.

Hearing the order, she was terrified as if she had been electrocuted, and she did not dare to disobey the young man's order at all.

She honestly put her hands on the countertop, doing her best to manipulate the tiled cardboard shells and old newspapers.

However, perhaps because she was too nervous, Lily, who was already unable to control her fruit ability, made a mistake and directly lifted all the pieces of paper on the table, and knocked down the inkwell and quill by the way...

In an instant, Douglas's usual desk for handling accounts became a mess.

Lily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to..."

"There's no need to be so exaggerated, I want you to lift the pieces of paper on the table one by one within the scope of your control, as much as you can."

Although the first experiment with Lily's abilities was a bit embarrassing, Douglas didn't mean to get angry in the slightest - he wasn't the kind of irascible idiot in the first place, and he didn't expect any superhuman talent from a nine-year-old girl who had just eaten a Devil Fruit.

Regarding the development of the fruit's abilities, the teenager has far more patience than Lily imagined.

In order to be able to make the most of it in the future, let alone tidy up the room, even if Douglas demolished the whole house, he was very happy.

"Try again." The boy put away other fragile items.

Lily: "Okay..."

This time, the girl's answer was weaker than last time, but she also did it more seriously than last time.

She followed Douglas's instructions, carefully controlled the force, one by one, and floated the pieces of paper that had been covering the table.

After about three or four minutes, there were already seventy or eighty pieces of paper affected by Lily's ability, and without the interference of external forces, these pieces of paper did continue to float in the air, although they were not arranged very neatly.

But this seems to be the limit of what Lily can do at the moment.

Before Douglas called a halt, a layer of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead, and she had obviously tried her best.

Douglas: "Well done, from now on, your most important task every day is to repeat this exercise, I need you to constantly increase the intensity and precision of your abilities, and other than that, you can not participate in any group labor." ”

The young man paused, pondered for a moment and then said, "You can also try to control different textures and forms of paper, and compare the differences... Don't worry about attrition, everything is based on ability enhancement as the first goal. ”

"But... But everyone else learns to write, and Mr. Wright has to use a lot of paper for drawing, can I really use it casually..."

"Huh? How do you know about charting? Douglas's tone was a little more serious.

"I'm sorry... I just accidentally saw in a couple of meeting minutes... I promise I won't do it again next time! Lily trembled slightly, and even the words turned into trills.

"Are you literate?"

Douglas asked... He had briefly combed through Lily's life through his intelligence skills, but he didn't seem to remember anyone who had taught her to read and write.

According to the plan, the boy had hoped that Wright would help her with a little literacy after finishing the charting work, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

"In the past, customers in the store used to bring newspapers or bounty orders or something... I've learned a little bit on my own. ”

"Self-taught..."Douglas looked at Lily, and he suddenly realized that in addition to the fruit ability, this little girl also seemed to have some kind of extraordinary talent, so he continued to ask, "Can you find the minutes of the meeting that you just read about now?" ”

"Probably so, I think it's under this stack."

Lily nodded, then whispered a few pages as she rummaged through the messy scraps of paper that had just fallen back on the table, and quickly handed the boy the record as she had said.

"It's these two... I saw that it said that we should use paper sparingly. ”

Through some subtle movements throughout the process, Douglas was able to confirm that she was not blindly exhaustively searching, but really remembered the specific location of the stack of meeting minutes.

… Although it doesn't sound like a big deal, in fact, being able to accurately recall a memory of the level of "Afterglow" while preoccupying one's Devil Fruit ability training is definitely enough to be called a "terrifying" talent in itself.

"It seems that I am going to reconsider your future division of labor in the organization."
