[Pirate] is obviously a fan of adventure RPG games

The forest classified as a treasure hunting area accounts for two-thirds of the entire Baimo Island area. You must explore this area if you want to get the location card.

And this forest is obviously not that easy to explore. This place is well protected by the islanders. The trees are tall and the canopy of the trees blocks out the sky and the sun, which makes it look like a primeval forest.

"There is absolutely no way out."

Rich vegetation covers the road surface so that no trace of land is exposed. In this space completely surrounded by plants, it seems that everything that can identify the direction has been obliterated.

"Something is coming."

With the openness of seeing and hearing, the rustling sound in the grass could not escape her perception.

"Ah."

Roger responded, lifting the black cloth wrapping the knife to reveal the weapon. There is no need to hide it anymore.

"Let me see what it is."

He concentrated his expression, found the right direction, and swung his sword to kill the black shadow the moment it rushed towards him. The sharp sword energy hit the black shadow's waist and abdomen and immediately chopped him to the ground.

"Wow!"

The light shone through the trees, and the dark figure appeared. It whimpered and curled up on the ground in pain. It's a huge black panther.

"What? I thought he was an interesting guy."

Seeing that the thing he had brought was ordinary, Roger returned the knife to its sheath with some disappointment. He picked up a branch and poked the black panther who didn't dare to move because he was afraid of him.

"It's a bit too ordinary."

Although this black panther is huge and can carry five or six adults at the same time, this is not interesting for Roger and Collier who often deal with Neptunes.

"Ugh-"

After hearing the two people's complaints, the black panther's human eyes burst into tears, and his whimpering voice contained a sense of grievance. Its two front paws were placed on its head to resist Roger's poke, looking pitiful.

"What, you actually understand it? Hahaha, this is kind of interesting."

Seeing it look like this, Roger became interested. He dropped the branch in his hand and stroked the black panther's huge head with his hand.

"Coliel, please cure it. Let this guy accompany us to find the secret treasure."

"Well, it's really rare for animals to understand human speech."

Collier also changed her previous evaluation, walked up to the black panther and started scratching its chin. Soon the Black Panther couldn't hide his instinct and narrowed his eyes. This made Collier's heart soften. After activating the skill, the light points overflowing from the palm rushed to the wound and quickly repaired the Black Panther's waist and abdomen.

"Since we want to be together, let's give this little guy a name."

"Um - name..."

Roger pondered for a moment, and then had an idea.

"Just call him Xiao Hei!"

"...Xiao Hei, it's really an expected name."

Collier, who originally had no hope in her naming skills, at this moment pulled Roger into the same level as herself. However, she didn't have any good ideas and acquiesced to Black Panther's new name.

"Yo Xi! Xiao Hei sets off towards the secret treasure!"

Roger rode on Xiao Hei very unceremoniously and pointed in a random direction to signal Xiao Hei to move.

The black panther, who was forced to carry the two of them, reluctantly pulled his head and shouted in response. Today, not only did it fail to hunt, but it also got into trouble with two humans. Even if it was unwilling to do so, it did not dare to escape easily due to its survival instinct.

Xiao Hei spread his limbs and started running. The cat's unique agility allowed him to run freely in the jungle. The feeling of wind brought by the rapid movement made the two people sitting on its back very happy.

"Well done, Hei-!"

After receiving the compliment, the black panther felt extremely satisfied. It unconsciously speeded up its pace and led the two of them deeper into the forest. Suddenly the trees receded and the view became wider. Without the cover of trees, the sun shines directly onto the ground. This sudden change made Collier's eyes dazzle.

"Xiao Hei stop!"

Just when Collier's vision was blurred, she heard Roger scolding her. The black panther underneath him braked to the limit and brought them to a stop in a sea of ​​flowers.

"What's the matter Roger?"

When her eyes adjusted to the light, Collier leaned forward and looked forward. The scene in front of her made her take a breath.

I saw a few people lying here and there among the flowers full of white flowers. They all had painful expressions on their faces, some were completely unresponsive, and only one of them was still mumbling on his lips.

"Hey! Hold on just once and I'll come to save you right away!"

Seeing that Roger was about to get off Xiaohei's back, Collier quickly held him down.

"Wait Roger! The situation is unknown now, so don't act without authorization!"

While holding Roger down, Collier used a healing technique to hang up the man's health bar to ensure that he was still breathing.

All those people fell into the flowers. No matter how you look at the sudden appearance of the flowers, there is something wrong. Although I don't understand why the two of them are okay, it doesn't mean that they haven't been tricked.

"Hey! Xiaohei, come closer!"

But since he encountered it, Roger made up his mind, so it wouldn't hurt to save him. Collier patted the black panther standing on the flowers and motioned for it to come over.

"Ugh-"

After receiving the instructions, Black Panther carried them out honestly. It took cat steps and walked up to the survivor who still had some breath.

"..."

The man's eyes were cloudy and he was unconscious, and the shadow only made his eyeballs move. Other than that there was no reaction at all.

"Xiao Hei, pick him up and leave the flowers."

The man's condition was obviously poisoned. Collier held Roger up and didn't let him come forward to touch him. Maybe her behavior was a little cold-blooded, but Roger was far more important to her than this stranger. Even if the other person would die on the spot because of her doubts, she didn't want Roger to be infected.

"He's poisoned. Looks like it's the flowers. Don't touch him."

"Well, I see."

Collier's determination made Roger a little uncomfortable. Although there was no change in appearance, Collier had obviously grown a lot in the past three years.

Not only is she no longer as reckless as before. And he admired his stability.

This made Roger calm down, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking. Followed her command.

Xiao Heituo and the two of them returned to the grass-covered forest again. The man in his mouth changed immediately after leaving the flowers. With the blessing of healing techniques, his consciousness slowly recovered, but the poisoned state still existed.

"Hey! Brother, cheer up!"

After getting Collier's permission, Roger fed him some water and patted the man's stiff face, hoping to get a response.

"Stop patting me, it hurts so much!"

Panting heavily, the man slapped Roger's hand away and sat up suddenly. Then the poison in his body forced him to cough twice and fall to the ground again.

"And my name is Wellsman, not brother!"

"Oh, Will."

"It's Wellsman! Wow! Cough!!!"

Intrigued by Roger's interchange of names, Wilsman coughed several times, and the excessive force pulled on his vocal cords. Within a few moments, bloodstains appeared on the palms of his hands covering his mouth.

"Shit! Damn it! Looks like I'm going to be stuck here today. Cough!!!"

Wilsman cursed a few times, a look of reluctance appeared on his face. Judging from the way he was dressed, with a penis tied around his waist, he didn't look like an ordinary treasure hunter.

"Not necessarily."

Collier activated the healing technique again and forcibly raised Wellsman's health bar. Even if the poison was not resolved, the thick blood bar supported him, which greatly eased his condition.

"Are you Healer Collier?!"

Wilsman stopped coughing, which gave him the energy to respond to Collier. The fierce and cunning face looked at the girl standing behind the man in the straw hat. Her upward-looking fox eyes were half-squinted. After thinking for a moment, she recognized Collier's identity.

This also gave him hope again.

"Are you a pirate too?"

The other person's thinking time was very short, which made Collier wary of him. Pirates will plot against each other even if they are companions. This is what the Rocks Pirates taught her.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so guarded. Since it's you, it's all thanks to you that I'm saved. Don't worry, I won't do anything that's not good for you. In this damn place, I won't Cut off your own way of survival."

Wilsman raised his hands and distanced himself from the weapon on his waist, using this posture that was not conducive to fighting to show that he had no ill intentions.

"Presumably the guy wearing the straw hat next to you is Captain Roger, hahaha, how disrespectful."

This cunning man changed his previous attitude and smiled, trying to build a relationship.

"You know us?"

When he heard that Wellsman was also a pirate, Roger blocked Collier behind him. He suppressed the curiosity in his heart and remained on guard. If conditions allowed, he wouldn't mind making friends and chatting with each other about interesting things during the voyage. But the conditions are clearly not right now.

"Ah, the whole world knows about the decisive battle between the Rocks Pirates and the Navy on Tarna Island. In the end, both sides were forced to end the battle due to an avalanche, and the lives and deaths of many people including the healer Collier are unknown."

Wilsman pretended to be relaxed and shrugged his shoulders, and roughly stated what he knew about the situation. He knew that only telling the truth could ease his relationship with the two of them now.

"But it seems that you are living well now. And the only one who can take you in without fear of Locks' reputation is probably the Roger Pirates from which you were originally born. Captain Roger is really courageous."

His last words were half complimentary and half sarcastic. But it also made Collier discover problems that she had never paid attention to.

Taking in himself and Kaido may not be a good thing for Roger.

"Coliel was originally part of my crew, and no matter what she went through, that will never change."

Roger felt the irony in Wellsman's words. He dealt with the other party's teasing head on. He is not afraid of Locks' reputation, and if that guy dares to come, he won't mind having a fight with him.

"Hahaha... I was just joking, don't pay attention."

Roger's performance was arrogant in Wellsman's eyes, but now that he was asking for help, he could only awkwardly comply with Roger's words.

Collier didn't answer. Roger's speech just now really gave her peace of mind. It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed. As the beginning of her becoming a pirate, Roger will definitely become a presence that she cannot ignore throughout the game.

"Wellsman, right?"

Collier changed her worry just now, and the free and easy smile reappeared on her face.

"I advise you not to underestimate Roger. He is my chosen captain. One day the name of our Roger Pirates will be more prominent than 'Rocks'!"

"Are these two guys crazy...?"

Collier's overly affirmative tone made Wellsman at a loss as to how to refute. He murmured quietly, deciding not to mention anything about the Rocks Pirates for the sake of his own safety.

Roger, who was suddenly praised, turned around and smiled at Collier. He carelessly put his arm on Collier's shoulders, half hugged her, and smiled stupidly. The serious look just now was completely lost.

"Wellsman, we saved you, whether it was out of friendship or rules, do you have to pay something?"

Seeing Wilsman's dumbfounded look, Collier chuckled. Since the other party is also a pirate, she has no moral concerns. In order to find secret treasures, extracting clues from NPCs is a necessary skill.

What's more, she has conditions for blackmail.

"Otherwise, I don't know if the poison will relapse~"

Under Wilsman's increasingly pale face, Collier smiled happily.
