Chapter 22 Chapter 22

When Collier woke up again, she was already on the boat.

Relying on hibernation, the mp value finally returned to the safe line. Although it is not full, it does not affect anything.

"I'm so hungry."

She stretched out on the bed. The soft bedding made her feel comfortable. She had been camping for so long, but her waist was broken. Hungry, she was a little reluctant to get up.

"Oh, which one should I choose, a warm bed or delicious food?"

This is simply a world problem.

"crunch-"

The wooden hatch made a muffled sound, and Newgate pushed it open and entered. Collier was startled by this act of entering without knocking.

"Um...are you awake? Sorry..."

Seeing Collier huddled in the quilt with only her eyes exposed, Newgate stood by the door a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to go in or not.

After all, she had been sleeping for two days, and she just came over to check on the situation as usual.

"It doesn't matter..."

Seeing that she was an acquaintance, Collier breathed a sigh of relief. She got out of the quilt and signaled Newgate to come in.

"Is your body okay? Although Belian said you are okay, you slept for such a long time. Is it a problem with your ability?"

Newgate entered the door after getting Collier's permission. He walked to Collier's bed, and since there was no chair suitable for his size in the room, he casually sat cross-legged on the floor.

"Well, yes."

'ah. . . . finally come! The interrogation of my ability that I don’t know how to explain is still coming! ’

Collier grimaced and admitted Newgate's statement. She looked around awkwardly. She just couldn't bear to look directly at Newgate, who was sitting next to her.

"really."

Confirming his thoughts, Newgate spoke in a lowered voice. He knew that the more powerful the power, the more limitations it had.

"It not only has the ability to heal wounds but also increases strength. What kind of fruit did you eat, Collier?"

Here it comes, soul torture!

"I don't know much about this...I didn't pay attention when I was eating."

Collier clutched the sheets nervously, worried about her lame lie.

"Unknown fruit?"

Newgate said, staring at Collier. The latter straightened his back immediately when he heard this statement.

"probably."

She continued to follow Newgate's statement, hoping that he would just trust her judgment.

"Ugh."

Just when Collier wanted to continue her guidance, Newgate sighed, which frightened her into silence.

"Newgate...?"

Collier was a little unsure of Newgate's thoughts and softly called his name.

"As it should be."

Newgate reached out and rubbed Collier's somewhat messy head.

"... Newgate."

Collier knew that Newgate didn't want to embarrass her. How could he not see through his lame lies? This tolerance made Collier feel warm in her heart.

"Sorry...and thank you."

Collier smiled and rubbed Newgate's hand that was stroking her. The latter immediately froze, and his huge body tensed up because he was overwhelmed.

"Grumble-"

Fortunately, he didn't stay frozen for too long. Collier was extremely embarrassed because of her sudden growling stomach, covered her head with a quilt and huddled in the corner, trying to be invisible.

"Ku la la la——"

Newgate laughed unkindly, and his laughter made Collier shrink deeper.

"Ah!!! Nothing happened just now!"

Why did this happen to her!

Collier, who was huddled in the quilt, felt as if her cheeks were burning. She couldn't stop wailing in her heart. She was embarrassed this time.

"Well, no matter who you are, you will be hungry. There is no need to be embarrassed about this kind of thing."

It was normal for her to be hungry after not eating for two days. Newgate took out the prepared sandwich and placed it in front of Collier who was huddled up.

"Eat and see, I made it myself."

Upon hearing this, Collier, who originally wanted to refuse and drive the person away so that she could have some peace, changed her mind. She opened a corner, and there was indeed a sandwich wrapped in baking paper in front of her. Don't worry if you don't look at it. Once you look at it, her stomach can't control it and starts to rummage. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she took the extra large sandwich and started eating it.

"Ah!"

It was just a simple sandwich of eggs, raw tomatoes and lettuce, but it was delicious enough to make her speechless.

"Eat slowly."

Newgate looked at Collier who was devouring her food and thoughtfully handed her a glass of water.

"Uh-huh!"

Collier hurriedly chewed the food in her mouth, leaned forward to take the water from Newgate, and responded with a whimper. He didn't even care that the quilt slipped off his body. She just wants to work now.

"Ah! Come to life!!!"

With the big sandwich and a glass of water, Collier patted her belly with satisfaction.

"Is this enough?"

Just a sandwich was enough. He hadn't seen such a small amount of food for a long time. Newgate was a little worried.

"We happen to be in Kakaska now. Everyone has disembarked to look for supplies. I can take you to the island to eat more."

"Hey - Kakaska..."

Kakaska and everyone from the Roger Pirates have been here before, and it is here that she and Roger trigger the hidden main mission—the truth of the world. She didn't expect to come here again, but this time it was Newgate instead of Roger who was with her.

"what happened?"

Seeing Collier's expression of nostalgia, Newgate couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, um - I want to go to the island to see it. Newgate, do you want to come with me?"

Collier got off the bed and started putting on her shoes. For this island, even if she has been here once, she still wants to see it again.

Newgate did not refuse Collier's invitation. After the two arrived on the island, Collier pulled him straight to the restaurant.

Fortunately, the height of Kakaska's restaurant was high enough, so Newgate could still go in even though he was feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Hello sir... would you like something?"

It's just that his tall size made everyone in the restaurant a little intimidated.

"Just a steak with rice and a glass of freshly squeezed juice."

Seeing the timid look of the waiter, Collier took the order for Newgate. She showed a friendly smile to the poor waiter and comforted the unlucky guy who was pushed out by his colleagues.

"Okay! Be there soon!"

After receiving the answer, the waiter smiled gratefully and quickly ran into the kitchen.

"You came before?"

Looking at Collier who was inexplicably happy, Newgate said with certainty.

"Well, I've been here before with everyone from the Roger Pirates."

Collier was not shy about her past experiences, but it made Newgate frown.

"Ah."

He hummed under his breath and looked a little unhappy.

"Oh! Here we come!"

As soon as the waiter brought the meal, Kars's shaky figure appeared in the restaurant. After two years, Kars's already sparse hair is now gone. His body is stooped and he uses a cane, making him look older.

"Kars is here again."

People in the restaurant were used to the old man's presence. Even if no one believed what he said, it would be boring for everyone to drink wine. It would be great to have something to talk about.

"The waiter will bring a bottle of wine and fried rice."

Kars ordered the dishes, then looked around at the empty seats. He glanced at the tall Newgate with some surprise, but he was not as afraid of his presence as others.

"Hey, young man, do you mind if I, an old guy, share the table with you?"

He came over, walking crookedly on crutches.

Newgate looked at Collier, who nodded. He also said he had no objection.

"Hahaha, you care about the lady's feelings. You are a good man."

Kars smiled, and the wrinkles on his face moved because of his smile, making him look kind.

"Now, grandpa, can you tell me another story about the 'truth of the world'?"

Collier looked at Carles' somewhat cloudy eyes, feeling a little sour in her heart, and took the initiative to stand up and help him pull out his chair. It has only been two short years, but this old man has become a candle that will be extinguished at any time.

"Oh——! Someone actually wants to listen! Hahaha, even if it's just for you, Miss, I have to tell it again today!"

Carles sat on the chair pulled out by Collier. He was originally in a state of boredom, but when he heard her say this, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey! Miss, those are just lies..."

Seeing that Collier was so interested that she didn't seem to be faking it, the onlookers began to issue reminders.

As soon as Kars heard this, his originally bright eyes dimmed again, and a self-deprecating wry smile formed on the corners of his drooping mouth.

"Whether it is a lie or not, we will make our own judgment. You don't need to say it."

Seeing that Carls' mood was a little low, Newgate made a dissatisfied noise. As soon as he glared, no one in the entire restaurant dared to speak.

"The noisy guy has shut up, so tell the story, grandpa."

In this restaurant where no one dared to speak, Collier's words seemed very abrupt, but it was these words that made Kars raise his head again.

"You really want to hear it"

There was trembling and question in his words.

"of course."

Newgate's curiosity was also piqued by Collier's persistence.

"it is good!"

Carles cheered up again and began to tell the story of his past adventure.

After leaving the restaurant, Newgate was still shocked by Carlsner's story.

"That's so awesome, that old man Kars."

"Yeah, I knew Newgate would also believe what Grandpa Carles said."

Collier looked at her main mission that had made no progress at all and sighed.

"Why don't you believe it? That old man used to be a pirate. Anything is possible on the sea. Don't underestimate the sea."

Newgate looked serious, as if what he had just heard was the personal experience of an old pirate rather than some amusing and funny story.

"Yeah, you can't underestimate the sea."

After all, the world has indeed lost its truth.

At the far port, a flower stall was set up at some point. All kinds of flowers were neatly arranged into flower baskets by the proprietress. The fragrant and fragrant floral fragrance attracted many butterflies. This scene attracted many boys and girls to stop.

"Come and take a look! Beautiful flowers!"

The proprietress wearing a lavender dress was holding a basket of white roses and was shouting about her own products.

"Hi! Beauty! Do you want a basket of white roses?! I just picked them this morning! Look, there are butterflies too!"

She waved the flower basket in her hand towards Collier, and Collier couldn't ignore her enthusiasm.

"me?"

Collier pointed to herself sheepishly.

"That's right! Bai Qiangwei will match you!"

As she spoke, she winked at Newgate, who was standing next to Collier.

The basket full of white roses looks really delightful, with layers of snow-white petals surrounding the bright yellow stamen in the center. And now there is a small light blue butterfly sitting on the stamen.

She does.

"How much"

Of course Newgate, standing next to her, also saw this.

"Hey, it's a big sale today, only 350 beli!"

The landlady smiled and put the flower basket into Collier's hand.

"I wish you both happiness!"

As he said that, Bailey ran away quickly.

"Ugh"

What misleading words are these!

But the person who said such words ran away without giving her a chance to explain. Collier looked up at Newgate nervously.

"what happened?"

But he, the other person involved, didn't have any abnormalities at all.
