Collier is quite curious about Beehive Island. After all, it is also the base camp of her current force, the "Rocks Pirates". He has more than a dozen captains like Newgate under his name, and countless other subordinates, making him look like a maritime overlord.

"Collier, you will stay with me when you get to the island. Don't speak casually, and don't use the fruit ability without the consent of me and Chilias."

But before she even landed on the island, Newgate had already begun to warn her of various precautions. The other people on the boat also changed their usual relaxed and lively style, and looked gloomy.

This is not returning to the base to recuperate. Those who don't know better think that they are preparing for war.

"oh...."

How could she dare to be curious and inquisitive now? She could only shrink behind Newgate to reduce her presence.

"Yo! You're back, Newgate!"

The person who met at the port happened to be the golden retriever lion king, Shi Ji. Now that his injuries are almost healed, he stands straight in the middle of the crowd, holding a cigar in his mouth, looking extremely arrogant.

"Hmph, with 'Healer' Collier here, it seems you weren't injured at all."

He narrowed his eyes and glanced around Newgate. The words in his mouth were mocking but could not hide the trace of envy.

"Of course, my companions are all the best!"

Of course Newgate could hear the ridicule in his words, but so what, he would not choose to avoid it.

"It's up to you. Don't hang out until Shiji's injury is fully healed."

Newgate crashed straight into Shiji. Shiji's original injury was not fully healed. The impact caused the wound, and his body involuntarily bowed forward. The pain in his flesh made him tremble, but the port gathered. There were so many people, a mixed crowd, in front of them. Shiji gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.

"cut!"

Seeing that now was not the time to take action, Shi Ji suppressed the undercurrent in his eyes and reluctantly left the scene surrounded by his men.

"Huh, what a hyena that can't smell blood."

Chilias looked at Shiji's leaving figure and complained in a low voice.

"If you want to see our jokes, it's still eight hundred years in the morning!"

His eyes, which were always smiling, were filled with viciousness at the moment.

Collier felt a little uneasy as she saw the familiar companions around her becoming fierce and fierce. The pirates around her were all ruthless characters according to the rumors. Even if they lost their arms and were blind, it would not affect their continued plundering on the sea. There was even a lot of them who stole her inquisitive eyes, but there was more hidden in them. It was some malice that she couldn't bear to look at.

Here, the only place that could give her peace of mind was behind Newgate's huge figure.

"Don't be afraid."

Feeling the uneasiness from the people behind him, Newgate blocked her even more tightly. Kilias and Belian also protected her on the left and right in the middle. Without the interference of those malicious eyes, Ko Lil breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah."

No matter what, you must believe in your teammates. Collier calmed down and straightened her back. Now that she is a member of Newgate, there must be many people here like Shiji who want to stumble Newgate at any time. She couldn't drag him down because of her own reasons.

The entire Hatchinos Island was occupied by the Rocks Pirates, and it became a paradise for pirates, a hive that breeds pirates, and an absolutely lawless place.

"You're back, Newgate, thank you for your hard work."

The man in the center of the crowd was sitting casually on a piece of animal skin. His stature was not too tall, but his aura could make people notice his presence in the crowd at a glance.

"You did a good job this time. You should practice well in the next period of time."

"Well, I see."

Newgate responded, with a good attitude that completely failed to show the fierceness he had when he confronted Shiji just now.

‘Why does this boss act like a boss? . . ’

Collier, who was hiding behind Newgate, couldn't help but peeked out. She glanced at Jibek who was talking to Newgate. The latter immediately noticed her gaze. Just a glance was enough to make people feel heartbroken. Awe.

Collier regretted her curiosity just now. She was afraid that she had attracted the other party's attention.

"By the way, I heard from Shi Ji that you have recruited a 'healer' to join your team this time. Why don't you introduce him to everyone?"

Sure enough, Jibek brought up this topic. After just one meeting, he had already guessed the identity of the girl hiding behind Newgate. As a person who has been sailing on the sea for several years, although the power of healing is rare, he does not find it strange.

What interested him was Skeena's secret expression of envy. Something that can make people pity must have great value.

Newgate's heart tightened when he heard Bejik's request. He glanced at Shiji standing in the corner and secretly made another note for his annoying partner.

Collier, who was named, had silently put it on file.

"Coliel doesn't like environments with too many people."

Although he was reluctant, seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Newgate could not continue to refuse. He could only slowly walk to the side, exposing half of Collier who was standing behind him.

"Well, I think it's not that she doesn't like too many people, but that you don't want to let her show her face, Newgate."

Just as Collier froze and felt the probing eyes from all directions, a female voice covered up the whispered discussions.

She was tall and tall. Standing next to Bejik, who was the captain, she looked from a distance and was more than three times taller than Bejik, who was a man. Her pink hair and red lips gave her a woman's unique charm.

She smiled, and there was a bright color in her eyes.

"She's a beauty~ Do you like desserts? Do you want to come over to my place?"

She seemed to be talking to Collier in a friendly manner.

"Lingling!"

Newgate's expression immediately changed, he roared with anger, and moved to completely block Collier behind him again.

"Ah~ are you angry? What a stingy man."

Not only was the woman named Lingling not at all frightened by Newgate's anger, she even made a frivolous joke.

Seeing that she was still smiling, Newgate's hand holding the naginata subconsciously exerted force.

"That's enough, Lingling, Newgate, don't be so unruly in front of newcomers."

Seeing that things were getting worse, Bejik, as the captain, waved his hand to stop the tension between the two.

"Humph."

Newgate snorted and turned away. No matter how reckless they usually are, they must obey the captain's orders here. Even if he was unwilling, he could only stop.

"Cut~"

Being told to stop made Ling Ling feel a little disappointed. Others respected Newgate, but she was not afraid. Only those with strong fists at sea can gain the respect of others, not based on such damn moral character. That's why she, who always adheres to one sentence, doesn't like Newgate, who is always mentioned and praised by her subordinates.

"She is Charlotte Lingling, Captain Charlotte."

Kirias leaned close to Collier and spoke in a low voice.

Now that she saw a real person, Collier was right. I remember that when I first boarded the Newgate ship, I ate the cake she was given and had a crush on her. Now it seems that she is not an easy person to deal with at all.

‘She is obviously such a beautiful young lady. ’

But it's a pity. If she really had to choose, she would still decisively choose to stand on Newgate's side. But it's a choice. It's okay to get addicted to seeing beautiful women, right?

Collier poked her head and wanted to take another look at the beautiful Lingling, but was discovered by Newgate, who was forced to hold her down and stuffed back. However, during this period, she still received a wink from the beautiful Lingling. Unfortunately, Newgate saw it. I got even angrier when I got up. Chilias directly grabbed her by the back of her collar, looking like he hated iron.

Collier scratched her hair in embarrassment, not daring to show her head again.

The entire Rocks Pirates group has a serious internal clique phenomenon, and it is common for them to stumble each other secretly or fight with each other every other day. But except when necessary, Bejik, as the captain, did not control this phenomenon at all. His attitude of allowing this situation to develop casually made the atmosphere in the entire pirate group even more unhealthy.

After only half a month of getting along, Collier disliked this kind of team, but she didn't know how to tell Newgate.

"Hey, why are you keeping such a straight face? It doesn't suit you at all."

Seeing Collier sitting alone on the rocks blowing in the wind, Chilias also climbed up. He held a processed coconut in his hand and stuffed it directly into Collier's hand.

"Sad"

He asked tentatively, and his winking expression made Collier laugh.

"No!"

She smiled and denied his suspicion.

"Haha, that's good."

Chilias also laughed along with Collier, he was deliberately making her laugh.

"But even if you're not sad, you're definitely unhappy."

He laughed a few times and then stopped smiling. He changed the topic and pointed at Collier's face.

"Your thoughts are all written down here, so I can see them."

Collier laughed, and the smile on her face faded.

She actually hated this about herself. Her face showed whatever expression she was thinking, which made her completely unable to hide things.

"So do you want to tell me?"

Chilias' tone was full of discussion. He saw Collier's hesitant expression and immediately understood her concerns.

"I don't have to talk to Newgate."

he added.

Seeing Kirias' serious expression of assurance, Collier, who was already upset, unconsciously told him her troubles.

Collier has always felt that Chilias has a kind of magic power. He can make her relax and unconsciously talk about her thoughts with him. No matter when she first met him, she was willing to talk to him about everything. She was willing to talk to him about the distractions and the things she hated about the current team.

"Is that so... Well, it's you after all, so it's natural that I'd hate it."

Kilias was not surprised to hear Collier's troubles.

The Rocks Pirates are the representatives of pirates. How can a group of extremely vicious people live together peacefully? . . Chilias felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the girl next to him who couldn't even hide her thoughts.

It was true that they were accustomed to this kind of life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, but he didn't want her to be like this. . .

"Sorry, Collier."

But it happened that he was the one who pulled her in, and Chilias felt a little guilty.

"I'm really sorry for dragging you into this group without explaining it clearly to you."

"Um... Actually, there's no need to say that. I'm not a fool. The sea is so dangerous. Without the help of you and Newgate, Chilias, I probably wouldn't be able to survive..." Not to mention. Went to find someone.

Collier didn't say the last half of the sentence, but the gratitude she wanted to express in her words was enough.

"Newgate won't stay here forever anyway, right? It's just a matter of enduring it for a while, I can still do it."

After all, she has no other choice now.

"Well, everyone has been resting recently, and it is estimated that the next voyage is not far away. Then we will go to a farther place and extend the voyage."

Chilias touched Collier's head. Deep down in his heart, he wanted to stay away from this place.

With Chilias's guarantee, Collier didn't find life too difficult. As long as she stayed in the Newgate camp, even if outsiders wanted to come to her, they would be stopped by everyone. She has nothing to worry about. It's a pity that not everyone can be stopped.

"Oh~ I finally found you, Collier~"

As a sense of oppression came over, the teammates standing in front of him froze in place. Collier raised his head and looked at the owner who made the sound.

"What do you want from me? Captain Charlotte"

Collier swallowed and tried to control her voice so that it didn't sound shaky. Although this sense of oppression made her feel substantial, it was not enough to make her lose consciousness.

But today, Newgate was called out by Shiji, and this Lingling came. No matter how weak Collier's mind was, she could realize that this must be a collusion between the two parties.

"Well, I have a little favor to ask you for."

Lingling smiled, her eyes were still beautiful, but now Collier had no intention of admiring them.

"So please come with me."

There is absolutely no room for rejection.
