[Pirate] is obviously a fan of adventure RPG games

As night fell, the Oral Jackson anchored on the sea. Even though the sea was still as rough as during the day, the ship was able to anchor here steadily against the waves.

It was dinner time on the ship, and it was brightly lit and lively. There were no strict ship regulations. Even the night watchman on the watchtower could enjoy the meal from the plate handed to him by his companions.

The usual calm made everyone relax their vigilance at this moment.

A few nautical miles away, a small boat was hidden in the sea fog at night. It deliberately kept a distance from the big ship in front, and the experienced helmsman cleverly used the surrounding environment to hide it in the night.

"Newgate, how's the situation over there?"

Chilias, who was standing on the bow of the ship, spoke in a suppressed voice to the phone bug held in the palm of his hand. The night wind blew, making him feel chilly.

"Confirmed, this is Shiji's territory."

Newgate's voice came from the other end of the phone. There was a chuckle in his words. He was happy to cause some trouble for this enemy.

"That's good. If it's him, it's appropriate to arrive."

Chilias breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Newgate's confirmation. If nothing else, they all know the style of the members under Shi Ji's command. They are greedy and tyrannical, which makes the ordinary people who are divided into their territories miserable. This has always been ignored by them.

Therefore, Shiki's men would not feel guilty at all even if their plans would affect Newgate and Chilias.

"The stage is ready, now it's time to introduce the protagonist."

After ending his communication with Newgate, Chilias looked at the blurry silhouette of the ship in the sea fog from a distance. He was feeling a little down, just like when they first met, he was plotting against her again.

"Sorry, Collier."

Chilias murmured, and this apology drifted into the night along with the sea breeze in just a moment.

As soon as day broke, the Oral Jackson came to life again. The night watchmen stretched tiredly, feeling relieved that their companions had woken up. The sea fog also began to dissipate under the sunlight, and while Taro was rubbing his eyes, a small wooden boat appeared. In his field of vision.

"Hey! Peterm! There seems to be a ship on the sea!"

Standing on the watchtower, he immediately called his companions standing on the bow of the ship to pay attention and set up a telescope to observe carefully.

With the adjustment of the degree, and with the help of the telescope, the boat finally revealed its complete appearance.

The small boat was about the size of a large wooden box. There was a child lying on the small boat at the moment. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old. The clothes on his body were so inconsistent with him that Taro couldn't see him for a while. gender.

"child?!"

But regardless of gender, if such a young child appears on the sea, it will be labeled as "problematic" no matter how you look at it.

Taro was surprised, and the nerves that had just relaxed because he could change shifts immediately became energetic again. He quickly put down the telescope and waved his arms to signal to his companions on the deck.

Collier was dragged out of the quilt by Roger. She was forced to get up early before her stay-in-bed behavior could be clocked in today. The reason is none other than that the Roger Pirates salvaged a special "item" today. Roger was busy dragging her to join in the fun.

Everyone gathered in a circle on the deck. This group of old men who had no experience in dealing with children looked curiously at this kid who suddenly appeared.

Everyone was more concerned about his physical condition than his unusual appearance.

"Oh! Collier is here!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd immediately gave way to a passage. Through this passage, Collier saw the special "item" lying on the ground.

"child?"

Although she felt strange, Collier, who was a ship's doctor, also knew that now was not the time to talk about this. Seeing that Roger had started to pinch the other person's cheek to check the situation, in order to prevent the child from being hurt again, she had to quickly check the other person's status bar first.

Fortunately, the child's level was too low. When the system was adjusted to detection mode, Collier saw the problem without much effort.

Excluding the two negative states of [Coma] and [Hunger], his health bar that had retreated beyond the safety line was the key to the problem.

He was in a coma due to injuries.

This instantly caught Collier's attention.

"The kid is hurt."

She immediately grabbed Roger's hand that was still trying to cause trouble, picked up the child from the deck, and hurried to the medical room.

"Roger, please prepare some food. This child will need it later."

Seeing Roger following all the way, in order to prevent him from disturbing her, Collier assigned him a job with a serious face.

In order not to be disturbed, Collier blocked all the curious people from the door, and she also closed the curtains on the window full of heads.

After everything was ready, she started to deal with the little guy.

Her healing technique can now directly treat wounds regardless of the causes of most injuries. But after all, this child was not a familiar companion to her. Under all unknown circumstances, for the sake of safety, Collier planned to see the wound with her own eyes before treating it.

But even though she was mentally prepared, when she took off the little guy's coat, the horrific wounds that covered his back still made Collier's face darken as she was used to seeing wounds.

Not for anything else, but these wounds are man-made.

The whip wounds were so densely spread all over the little guy's body that there was no good piece of meat left on his back. Other than that, the bruises and injuries from the impact were not worth mentioning at all.

"It's so abominable...!"

Collier clutched the child's clothes in her hand. The clothes, which were modified from adults' clothes, were in tatters, and a feeling called anger filled her heart.

She raised her hand, and with the full force of the healing technique, those horrific wounds were wiped clean. The activation of the purification technique weakened the interference of the [coma] state, allowing the child's face, which was wrinkled in pain, to relax. got up.

After hearing the report from Collier, everyone gathered in the restaurant fell into silence. Everyone had their own opinion, but no one spoke up before Roger spoke.

"Huh? Let's wait until that kid wakes up."

Roger didn't look as solemn as Collier. He still looked normal and expressed his thoughts.

"Yes!...Okay then."

Collier's mind was spinning and she was about to say something, but Reilly next to her immediately gave her a knowing look, telling her to suppress the words that were on her lips.

No matter what, the captain's words are absolute.

Even though she was a little dissatisfied, Collier could only suppress her inner resentment at this moment.

‘Trigger the side mission—A Corner of Darkness 1. Where there is light, there is darkness. When the shadow of light is torn apart, the evil of darkness will appear. The prologue has appeared to align and track. Reward: 4000 experience, 2 Baileys. "

‘The dark corner’

Collier calmed down after hearing the system's mission announcement. To be able to trigger the task, the background of that child must be not simple.

And the name of this mission was very dangerous no matter how she looked at it. The return of her rationality made her stand timidly next to Roger because of her recent impulse, pursed her lips and did not speak.

Kaido, who witnessed Collier's transformation, looked gloomily at Roger who was happily discussing the route with Jabba, moved his lips but said nothing in the end.

With his understanding of Collier, he could guess what she just wanted to say even if she didn't say it.

Rather than despising Collier's ridiculous kindness, Roger's unmoved look seemed to have the same idea as him.

"cut--"

It seems that even in the period of passionate love, this man still has not lost his judgment, which makes him feel natural and a little disappointed at the same time.

‘Stupid woman. ''

Kaido looked at Collier who was standing next to Roger. She pursed her lips as if she didn't dare to speak again, which made him feel irritable. In his view, if you cannot get what you want from the dependent person, then the act of attachment will be meaningless.

At least he believed that Collier's attachment to Roger was just to break away from Rocks. Since the goal had been achieved and there were no new benefits, there was no point in continuing.

But since this was her choice, he had no right to comment, but his body still made an honest sound of disdain.

Since this mission appeared, Collier's entire attention has been drawn to it. She has not noticed Kaido's performance at all. For her now, how to complete this seemingly difficult mission is the first priority.

Since Roger, as the captain, did not pay attention to this matter, and the pirates on the ship were not nosy people, the restaurant returned to its usual bustle.

"What's wrong? Are you still concerned about what happened just now?"

Seeing that the discussion was over and Collier was still deep in thought, Reilly took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Um?...No!"

Collier was separated from her thoughts when Rayleigh shouted. She casually denied Reilly's claims. It would be false to say that she was not angry about what happened to the child, but it was also her fault for habitually wanting to refute Roger's decision in public.

Roger had always indulged her without reason, but this did not mean that everyone else on the Oral Jackson was like this. At least not Reilly.

"That's good."

Hearing her answer like this, her expression didn't look like she was being fake. Reilly nodded in relief. Even Collier would not be soft-hearted if he violated the ironclad rules.

Under the gaze of Roger who was hesitant to speak, Reilly flicked Collier's forehead gently, and dismissed the matter with a chuckle as she exclaimed.

"What are you doing! I've obviously stopped the car!"

As soon as Reilly left, Collier immediately changed her attitude. She pushed away the broken hair from her forehead, touched the place where it had been bounced, and complained with a slumped face.

"Oh! I was shocked. I thought Rayleigh would punch."

Roger on the side breathed a sigh of relief as if he had escaped. Seeing Collier being taught a lesson, he was even more nervous than Collier herself.

If it were a normal little fight, as the troublemaking duo (couple version) bound to Collier, Roger would definitely have a hand in it, so that Rayleigh's attempt to teach Collier a lesson was disrupted, but This time he knew that Rayleigh was serious, so he didn't directly stop him even though he was worried.

"Hey! I haven't said anything yet!"

Seeing what Roger said, Collier grabbed him by the collar.

"How can you just watch me being taught a lesson!"

She was used to having Roger share the firepower, but this time she was unexpectedly watched. The word "disappointment" was clearly written on Collier's face. There was no way she could talk back to Rayleigh, but she could still settle the score with Roger.

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

Roger was pulled by Collier's collar, and the height difference between them forced him to bend down. He muttered a distress signal to Jabba who was standing aside. It's a pity that the latter refused to accept it, as if the chart on the table at this moment had some fatal attraction, preventing him from raising his head to take a look at his captain.

Roger immediately looked around and found that in the restaurant where everyone was paying attention to his speech just now, no one was idle at the moment.

'Oops. . ! ''

He secretly yelled that it was not good. Even the smile on his face froze.
