[Pirate] is obviously a fan of adventure RPG games

When Roger came to the place where the creatures whined the loudest, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The avalanche was over and everything was washed away by the snow. It's a vast expanse, and you can't see anything wherever you look.

Blood, gun smoke, and corpses were all gone, as if nothing had ever happened here.

"Collier!!!"

Roger shouted, and the sound spread to the surroundings before being absorbed by the surrounding snow, and eventually turned into silence.

"hateful!!"

Being completely helpless, Roger didn't know what to do. Even though he could listen to everything, he couldn't hear Collier's voice. He couldn't sense where she was buried in this vast expanse of white.

They are obviously on the same island.

Just before the snow wave was about to swallow them up, Newgate protected Chilias and Collier. Then the snow wave rolled them in, and the irresistible force pushed them forward. From time to time, stones or weapons swept in by the snow waves would collide with them. During this period, Newgate never let go, holding them tightly in his arms. Until the force that rolled them disappeared. Everything is calm.

The snow buried them underground, and they soon felt suffocated. However, the amount of snow covering their bodies was so heavy that it was difficult for Newgate to move. He endured the pain on his body and used the last energy to activate the fruit power.

The snow was blasted open, and the three people crawled out. Newgate and Chilias collapsed on the snow and gasped for air. The three breathed greedily to relieve the suffocation they had just felt.

"saved..."

Chiliari was lying on his back on the snow, his chest heaving greatly. He was soaked all over. Sweat mixed with snow water made the cold-proof cotton clothes cling to his body. It was so wet that he looked like he had just been fished out of the sea.

"Newgate are you okay?"

Among the three, Newgate spent the most money. Collier could still get up, and as soon as she recovered, she rushed to check on his condition.

"fine..."

Newgate was tough-talking, but he couldn't deceive Collier, who could see his true state.

In the snow wave that just swept through him, he used his body to absorb all the impacts, and there were many scratches on his body. The injuries he sustained in the previous battle had already put his blood volume in danger.

"lie."

He was always like this, covering up his injuries and only letting them see his strong and steady side.

Collier murmured quietly, feeling sour in her heart when she saw his harsh words.

Although she doesn't have much MP left, she won't be stingy as long as the target is Newgate.

"You should have a good rest and leave the rest to me."

Collier gently wiped the blood off Newgate's face. She kissed his cheek distressedly.

Of course Newgate heard her murmur, but he did not answer. The fatigue on his body was best comforted the moment she kissed him. He rubbed the hair of the girl lying next to him, even though Now they look cute even in their messy state.

‘Limited time copy·Strong Enemy is over, main mission: survival (completed) reward: 3500 experience, 20 Bailey, props: [Indomitable Will] (increases defense and toughness by 10%).

‘Limited time dungeon hidden mission - sharp blade, face the deadly enemy, never retreat, start calculation and complete. Reward: 3000 experience, reputation +30, unlock the famous sword, the twenty-one skills of the sharp sword, and the unique skill of White Wing: Flying. ’

In this silence, the system settled all rewards from the dungeon mission. A large amount of experience irrigation allowed Collier to successfully upgrade two levels in a row. The status recovery brought about by the upgrade greatly restored her damaged MP and HP values.

Collier stood up and first brought the health bars of Newgate and Chilias back into the safety line. The system prompts her to know that Kaido is still alive, but his health bar is not safe. She had to find him quickly.

"Chilias, I'm going to find Kaido. You and Newgate are both in bad condition right now. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Being buried in the snow is similar to being buried in the soil. If you don't come out in time, you will never come out.

"I will go with you."

Newgate also stood up, with a firm look on his face, determined not to allow Collier to act alone.

"Let's talk about it first, I can't go or not..."

With a grimace on his face, Chilias lay on his back on the snow and raised his hands tiredly, signaling the two to pay attention to his presence. After all, he is not a combatant, and his physical strength is not good. He just escaped from death, and he has no energy to deal with it anymore.

"I know where Kaido is and will be back soon. Newgate, don't worry about leaving Chilias alone."

Collier saw Newgate's hesitation.

"Let's do this. If I don't come back for a long time, you can go find me with your life card."

Now that she is in the best condition, it is best to go and come back quickly.

"OK then."

In the end, Newgate chose to compromise. Compared with Collier, who was in good condition, Chilias was now the one who needed protection the most.

"I only give you two hours. If you don't come back by then, we will go find you."

But he didn't trust Collier, so he struggled internally and set the separation time at two hours.

"it is good."

Collier took a rough look at Kaido's location, estimated that a round trip would be enough, and agreed.

Kaido was washed away by the snow waves closer to the coast. He was pinned under the snow. The pain of suffocation made him lose consciousness. He held on, unwilling to lose consciousness just like that.

He has not yet shown his talents, and has not yet become a sea hero like Captain Jiback. . . He didn't want it to end like this.

But death and the cold continued to eat away at his body. This reminded him of Collier's body temperature after bleeding excessively. Isn't he afraid that he would die like that? In the darkness, he thought of that gorgeous face. If he died, she would burst into tears. Thinking of this, he wanted to laugh.

It was so funny. He obviously wanted to use that woman to enhance his power, but in the end, her appearance was in his mind.

He himself had never realized that his desire to dominate the sea was so strong that it allowed her to occupy such a large position in his place.

Drowsily, Kaido felt the weight on his body was reducing. He froze and couldn't move, thinking it was an illusion. But soon, the light shone through the snow and onto his face, and the cold air entered his heart and lungs again.

He was saved.

"Kaido! Wake up!"

Collier patted Kaido's face. Her fingers, which were red from the cold, were cold, but no matter how cold they were, they were not as cold as Kaido's already white face. The way he remained motionless frightened Collier.

"Hey! Kaido, don't sleep!"

Collier pulled Kaido's health bar, but due to the two states of [freeze] and [shock], her healing spell could not exert its maximum effect. In desperation, she bound the newly acquired "Consciousness of the Indomitable" to Kaido.

[The Consciousness of the Indomitable] transformed into a pair of wrist guards with Liuding wrapped around Kaido's wrists. Under the effect of this item, the [shock] state began to fade away. Although the [freeze] state still existed, the effect was obviously not as strong as before.

"Good boy, I have invested a lot of money in you. Please obey me well from now on."

Seeing that Kaido was out of danger, Collier dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Digging out Kaido with bare hands was really tiring for her. Except for her hands, which were red from the cold, her whole body was now covered in hot sweat.

Collier took out a bottle of rum from her backpack, put it to Kaido's mouth and drank it. The liquid in his throat brought a spicy warmth. Slowly, Kaido's frozen lips became softer, and he began to take the initiative to drink. It wasn't until half a bottle of wine was consumed that his face turned red. I don't know if it was because of drunkenness or warmth, but at least it was no longer gray.

Just as Collier was dragging Kaido, trying to get him to lean on her shoulders and half-drag him forward, a low whimper sounded in her ears.

"Kaido?"

Collier paused and looked down uncertainly at Kaido, who was leaning on her shoulder.

Kaido is much taller than Collier, but at this moment he lowers his head and faces on her shoulders and refuses to lift them up, and his body is forced to lean against her because of his stiffness. He didn't respond to Collier's call, just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Collier didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't know why Kaido was crying. Was it because of the joy of surviving the disaster? Or is it a miserable end like this? Maybe it's the latter. . . ? After all, her little brother has always been frighteningly stronger than his peers because of his racial superiority, and he is very proud of it.

"It doesn't matter. You have already received a bounty of over 100 million when you are still young. You will definitely be a hero of the sea in the future! Just like...just like Captain Jiback! Hahaha..."

Collier was not very good at comforting others. She smiled dryly, trying to express her concern as much as possible.

"If it doesn't work, at worst, I will get you the most powerful fruit in the world and let you reach the sky in one step! This is better."

She smiled awkwardly, trying to liven up the atmosphere. But if she didn't say anything, Kaido would cry even more fiercely.

"Ah-wuwuwu!!"

He raised his head and raised his face, tears streaming down his cheeks. The center of the body was pressed directly.

"Hello!!!!"

Collier was startled by his out-of-control emotions. There was a sudden weight on her body, and she was caught off guard by Kaido and fell to the snow. It seemed like she couldn't stop Kaido from crying, so she simply left it alone and let him cry as much as he wanted to vent.

Kaido cried fiercely, and the exaggerated tears directly soaked her chest and formed a large watermark. She patted his back and allowed him to cry wildly until he calmed down.

"One day... I will become the strongest in the world!"

He whimpered, but his eyes returned to their usual determination.

"Hahaha, that's really a good goal. By then I will be the eldest sister of 'The Strongest in the World'."

The strongest in the world? This goal sounded too ambitious, but the young man had great ambitions, and facing his fighting gaze, Collier couldn't say anything disparaging. And there's no harm in becoming stronger. If he wants to, that's fine. Anyway, with her here, even if this road is too dangerous, she will not let him die.

Collier reached out and wiped away the tears still hanging on Kaido's face, and rubbed his head.

"So are you feeling better now?"

"Um!... not bad."

Kaido burped and said harshly. He stood up and pulled up Collier who was pinned to the snow by him. The two walked side by side.

"I say."

As the two were walking, Kaido suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Collier responded and gestured for him to continue.

"Do you want to come with me?"

"what?"

Collier didn't know how to answer for such a lackluster statement. But Kaido quickly explained what he meant to her.

"Anyway, now that we are all separated from the others, we might as well not go back and just form a new pirate group."

Kaido stopped

This time, he made Collier completely speechless. She didn't like the Rocks Pirates, but with Newgate and Chilias around, she never thought of leaving here.

"I heard from the old woman that you joined Rocks because you wanted to use their power to find the Roger Pirates. That guy named Newgate has been lying to you all the time, and they won't help you at all. It's a waste of time to stay here, it's better for the two of us to go find it. At least I won't lie to you."

Seeing that Collier had no intention of doing so, Kaido simply showed off his cards. He directly stated the rumors and conjectures he had heard during this period. He checked Collier's reaction as he spoke.

"!!!"

Kaido’s words contain too much information. Collier was stunned. Kaido was not in a hurry and simply stood there waiting for her to come to her senses.

Although she didn't want to believe it, Collier knew that there was a high possibility that what Kaido said was true. Everyone in the squad didn't like her mentioning Roger, and they said they were helping her find him. But in the past year, she had received almost no useful information. This completely contradicts her reasons for joining.

but. . . It has to be said that during this year of getting along, she can also feel everyone's care and preference for her.

Seeing Collier holding her head with a troubled expression on her face, Kaido knew that his persuasion was effective, and with a little more effort, he could completely part ways with that annoying Newgate.

"Anyway, you usually work hard, so you don't owe them anything. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After such a war, those guys won't have time to take care of us in a short time. If you leave now, you can save yourself the trouble. bid farewell.

"Or have you given up on the Roger Pirates?"

Kaido's words directly touched Collier's heart.

"Go back first. I have something I want to explain to Newgate in person."

Collier stopped struggling. She felt that what Kaido said was reasonable, but Newgate's care for her was true. She couldn't leave without saying goodbye before making an agreement.

Even though she had predicted the answer, she still wanted to hear Newgate's own answer.

After all, the Rocks Pirates were not her ideal destination. If it weren't for her bond with him, she wouldn't want to be here.

"Tch, okay."

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Collier was obviously shaken and knew that her words had an effect, and Kaido was not disappointed. He had planted the seeds of separation, and it would take effect sooner or later, if not now.
