Calando stood on a watchtower on the side of the harbor and looked at the town with a complicated expression. This is the island he is responsible for guarding, Dothan Island.

Dothan Island is an ordinary inhabited island, there are no special items produced, the only thing that can be regarded as outstanding is that there are many people living on the island. Because there is no core industry, the business situation here is low, and coupled with high taxes, the people here are not very wealthy.

There are seven settlements, one town and six villages on the island. There was originally a small gang in the town who bullied the townspeople and made a living by oppressing civilians and collecting protection money. As for the fact that it was defeated and incorporated by "Coral" later, and then merged into "Black Fire", it can be described as a twist and turn.

After Carlando took over, he wanted to develop vigorously, but he didn't have much money. As for going to the "black fire" for development funds? He didn't expect it to be nice if he didn't have to turn it in. There are too few resources at hand, so I can only find a way to get money first.

Business is a profound science, and Carlando thinks he can't play it. As long as there are characteristic industries and the determination to go to sea, it is not impossible to make a profit.

There is nothing special on this island, but Carando does. There was a lot of research stolen from O'Hara, and after a little screening, he felt that only the business of Warm Winter Wood could be done. First of all, the cost of this thing is low, and the main material is adult trees, and there are many of them on this island. Secondly, this thing is a quick consumable, as soon as it burns and it is gone. Moreover, it is relatively convenient to store, and it does not take much effort to transport. In the end, this thing was already available on the market, and it sold very well. Most of these buyers are either wealthy or aristocratic.

In the past six months, Carlando first asked Abin for help to identify suppliers of other raw materials for Warm Winter Wood, and then contacted many powerful chambers of commerce with the help of the dark world.

These chambers of commerce have long heard of warm winter wood, but there is no way to supply it. The group hit it off, and Carlando began to build factories on the island and employ a large number of its residents. Although Callando doesn't know much about how to revitalize a place's commerce, finding a way to make the residents rich, they will inevitably spend. In this way, the place will improve.

Retracting his gaze at the factory, Carlando was about to leave the place, only to see the bounty sheet nailed to the wall, as well as the photos of two acquaintances.

This act was requested by Carlando on his own initiative. Generally, if it is a pirate group's bounty list, it will bring the flag of the pirate group, so that the lookout can know which pirate group is preparing to invade Dothan Island.

"Son of the Devil" Nicole Robin, with a bounty of 79 million Bailey. He is the son of the demon [O'Hara] who tried to destroy the world, and destroyed six warships with great ferocity. ”

"White Wheel" Michlin, a bounty of 72 million Bailey. He is the former first mate of the "Angry Bear" Pirates, and is now the captain of the "Blood Fury" Pirates. It is a sailor who defected to the navy, not only turning away from justice, but also becoming a villainous pirate. ”

"Robin, I wonder how you're doing? Did what I gave you useful? We are the only O'Hara left in the past......"

……

"Haven't slept yet? I'm going to deliver it early tomorrow morning. ”

"Hmm."

Sensing the boss's departure, Robin quietly got up and left the room. Using the technique of stealth and hiding, she reached the door of her boss's room without a word.

This half-year wandering has taught her too much. After being deceived, she learned to be cautious and not to trust others easily; In the constant pursuit of others, she learned to hide, learned to use her abilities to fight; After being betrayed, she learns to deceive and to read words.

Recently, she has sensed that something is wrong with her boss and seems to have the idea of betraying her. It's normal, she's starting to get used to it.

"She's such a good boy and knows so much. But if we keep her, we will also be in danger. ”

Robin didn't feel the slightest feeling in his heart, but it was a pity that he didn't stay a little stable for half a month, and he was about to run away again.

"Not to mention the number of this bounty......"

Robin did not continue listening, but sneaked to the door and expertly opened the door of the house without making a sound. Is it raining? After just sighing slightly, she ran into the heavy rain without hesitation.

"She's not in the room! Damn it! Found out by that little guy! What ingratitude! Find out! That's a full 79 million Bailey! ”

Late at night.

Robin stays behind a garbage dump, which is a place where everyone doesn't want to come, and it's safer.

"Wang! Barking! Woohoo! (Who are you?) How did you get to where I lived? ）”

"Bah, hee-hee-hee! I'm so sorry I don't have anything for you to eat. ”

Robin looked at the stray dog in front of him, at the mess and filth on it, and at the bitter hunger. I don't know why, but a sadness suddenly welled up in my heart. So she suddenly smiled at Usaro, it was the only thing she could do for him. She had thought that this feeling would never be felt again, because she couldn't remember which betrayal she had.

"I'm like a dog...... Still no home. Where do I go next? Continue to find the next one, and then continue to be betrayed? ”

It's been too much, it's been repeated so many times that she knows to run if she looks at it a little closely.

"Mom...... Grandpa Kuroha...... Ursalo ......"

"Robin can't seem to hold on."

Robin watched blankly as the bean-sized raindrops smashed on the ground in front of her, on her, and on her shattered heart.

"Robin, what should I do? How to live? ”

"Maybe I should have died in O'Hara......"

Everything in front of Robin's eyes gradually began to blur, and his body seemed to lose consciousness.

"To ...... Want...... Dead? ”

"This ...... This...... It's good ......."

Suddenly, she saw her mother's face.

"Robin! Stay alive! ”

Ursaro's frozen face is also seen

"Robin! Live with them! ”

He also unexpectedly saw Carlando's dark-eyed face.

"Remember, no matter what comes your way, be strong."

Out of nowhere, Robin staggered to his feet. She struggled to drag the garbage in the garbage heap, gradually built a simple shelter from the rain, and then rummaged through the garbage to find a tattered blanket to cover her body.

"Bah, hee-hee-hee! Good night! ”

Despite the constant stench in his nose, Robin was used to it. Every time someone is hunted down, there are not many places where they can find safety, usually garbage heaps or cemeteries.

But it's all trivial, she's going to live, she's going to explore the text of history, to find the truth about what O'Hara's lovely scholars gave their lives for.

She'll be alive, no matter what happens.
