Executives! Roa's Gourmet Food (Seeking Collection!)

Beehive Island is the headquarters of the Rocks Pirates, recognized as the most dangerous island in the New World, striking fear into almost everyone who hears its name.

Although people spread rumors that the island was no different from a demon's den, in reality, it was a place of beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, by no means inferior to the golden beaches of any other location. Coupled with a summer climate that lasted all year round, it could even be considered an excellent tourist destination.

It's just that the pirates gathered at this tourist destination were all heinous criminals.

As the large ship slowly descended from the sky, the pirates at the port erupted in excitement.

"Boss Shiki is back! Does that mean the Golden Pirates have been wiped out?"

"As expected of Boss Shiki! That's the Golden Minister with a bounty of 800 million!"

"Isn't that obvious? Everyone who dares to oppose our Rocks Pirates will only meet death!"

"Don't even look at your own standing! You dare to create a pirate island like Captain Rocks!"

Roa stood on the ship's railing, a small child with arms crossed, looking down and sighing, "Oh, you're popular, Uncle Shiki, the star of Beehive Island. Unlike me, I contributed too, but no one even mentioned me. How lamentable."

"Enough nonsense."

Shiki was long past the age where he'd get excited by cheers from others. After landing the ship at the port, he soared into the air. "Let's go, let's go see that guy Rocks."

"Help me send my Ghoul back to the Colosseum."

Roa turned back and instructed the pirates on deck.

"Yes!"

The pirates quickly lowered their heads and replied respectfully, not daring to hesitate at all, as if the smiling Roa was some ravenous beast.

"Wait for me, Uncle Shiki!"

Roa instantly transformed into a black tiger-man with wings on his back. His dark wings flapped, and he shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, chasing after Shiki.

The center of Beehive Island was a massive skull-shaped building. The executives of the Rocks Pirates usually handled their affairs here, and it was also Rocks' residence.

However, neither Roa nor Shiki saw Rocks.

"That bastard took Linlin and Kaido to hunt down Roger,"

In the spacious office, a man with a massive build, golden hair, and a white crescent mustache said while drinking, "That scoundrel, making me stay behind to guard Beehive Island."

"What? Roger?"

Uncle Shiki showed an expression identical to the man before him. "Why didn't that bastard Rocks wait for me to come back! How can you chase Roger without me!"

Whitebeard Edward Newgate, another top executive of the Rocks Pirates, angrily slammed his wine glass on the table. "That bastard wants to take down Roger with his own hands!"

Roa scratched the back of his head. "Haha, Uncles really like Roger, huh."

Gol D. Roger, known as the Pirate Succubus.

Hearing his voice, Whitebeard glanced down at him, but his eyes clearly showed disdain.

Roa was not surprised by this. Among all the executives of the Rocks Pirates, this Uncle Whitebeard was one of the two who disliked him.

"Hey, hey, Newgate, that's not how you should treat a child,"

Shiki placed his left hand on Roa's head, puffing on his cigar, and said, "This kid has been quite active this time."

"I have nothing to say to this wicked brat,"

Whitebeard sneered.

"Hahaha."

Roa gave a tactical silly grin, his cute little face adorable.

Whitebeard was considered lawful among pirates. He detested Roa, who fed on the suffering of others.

"Gahahahaha!"

Shiki burst into laughter, ruffling Roa's head, unconcerned.

This was a good thing. The Rocks Pirates would fall apart sooner or later, and at that time, Roa, this kid with infinite potential, would be crucial.

Shiki felt that Newgate was the only one who could compete with him.

But Newgate detested Roa.

"And you, Shiki,"

Whitebeard's gaze focused on Shiki's face. "You went too far this time. You destroyed the entire Doldia Island?"

"If you don't use thunderous methods, how can you deter those dogs? And then, Newgate,"

Shiki completely disregarded him, his voice suddenly turning cold. "Do you have any dissatisfaction with my methods?"

"Hm?"

Whitebeard frowned. "Are you unconvinced?"

"Gahahahaha!"

Accompanied by the Mighty Lion's wild laughter, dark lightning began to crackle around him. "It seems you want to fight me?"

"If you want to understand it that way, I don't mind!"

Whitebeard's mustache began to tremble.

Rumble!

The Skull Building suddenly began to shake. Though he couldn't see it, Roa estimated that the entire Beehive Island must be trembling.

"Whoa! Are the two uncles about to fight?"

Roa wisely retreated.

This was normal within the Rocks Pirates; cadres would start fighting if they disagreed on something.

After all, the core principle among the cadres of the world's strongest pirate crew was betrayal.

And every clash between the cadres was the moment Roa looked forward to the most.

Fight, fight harder.

As two monsters clashed on this island, how much delicious black energy would the island's inhabitants emit?

Roa's saliva accelerated. He'd had to eat normally on the way back, which was torture.

But just then.

"Newgate!"

A woman's voice, which sounded overly affected, rang out. "I baked you a cake! Come and try it!"

A woman pushed a food cart and excitedly ran into the room.

She was a beautiful woman, with short blonde hair, exquisite features, and a graceful figure. Undeniably beautiful.

However, if such a woman had a strange flush on her face, a twisted, eerie smile, and even a nosebleed, she wouldn't be quite so heart-stirring.

A waste of such a face.

Little Roa sighed inwardly.

This woman was the second person, after Whitebeard, to dislike Roa. Because she was fanatically devoted to Whitebeard, she naturally disliked anyone Whitebeard disliked.

Thankfully, there was Stussy.

Whitebeard, who had been confronting Uncle Shiki, couldn't even focus on their clash anymore. He immediately showed an expression of extreme disgust. "Stussy, what did you put in this time?"

"What?"

The woman wiped drool from the corner of her mouth, chuckling eerily. "Nothing, absolutely nothing! Come on, Newgate, try it!"

"That's enough,"

Another woman walked in. She was also a stunning beauty with long white hair, accompanied by a long snake. "Newgate, you'd best not eat it. That idiot Stussy put an elephant aphrodisiac in the cake."

"Gloriosa!"

The future mother of Whitebeard Jr., the original body of the clone Stussy, Buckingham Stussy, shrieked and lunged at the newcomer. "You're asking for death!"

The woman named Gloriosa, the former empress of Amazon Lily, rolled her eyes and deftly dodged Stussy's lunge.

She even had the leisure to greet Roa. "Little Roa, you're back too?"

It seemed they wouldn't fight after all.

Roa sighed, disappointed.

Although he sighed inwardly, the most polite child in the Rocks Pirates still responded earnestly, "Aunt Gloriosa, good afternoon! You look super beautiful today too!"

"My, what a well-spoken child!"

Gloriosa dodged Stussy's attack again, even managing to pat Roa's head. "Did you have fun on your trip this time?"

"Very fun."

Roa grinned.

He hadn't tasted such delicious black energy in a long time. Uncle Shiki was indeed a good cook.

Seeing that Whitebeard also had no intention of fighting, Golden Lion clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Kid, I'm going to eat. Want to join?"

"No, thank you."

Roa politely refused. "I'll eat back at my place."

Golden Lion raised an eyebrow, then gave a strange smile. "It's no wonder Newgate doesn't like you, kid."

"Hmph."

Whitebeard snorted coldly.

Roa scratched the back of his head, giving a tactical silly smile.

After bidding farewell to his colleagues, who were much older than him, Roa returned to his residence on Beehive Island.

It was a small gladiatorial arena not far from the Skull Building.

Before he even entered, a man came to greet him. "Lord Roa! You're back!"

"Oh! Dylan, I'm back! Thanks for watching the house these past few days!"

Roa waved to the man.

The man named Dylan was Roa's follower.

The Rocks Pirates were just such an entity. Nominally a pirate crew, internally it was a collection of factions, with the executives only a step away from complete disintegration.

Even Roa had his own small clique.

"The new ghouls have been settled,"

Dylan said meticulously to his beaming master. "Are you ready for your meal?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Roa's cute little face was full of anticipation. "I've only been able to eat for the past few days. Hurry up and bring me all the delicious food!"

"Yes."

And so, a little later.

Roa had once again transformed into a massive black tiger, lying expectantly on the throne at the highest point of the gladiatorial arena's audience seats.

In the gladiatorial arena below, the iron gates on both sides were raised with a roar, and two groups of uneasy people emerged from the respective doors.

Most of them were injured and looked quite disheveled, but everyone held a sword in their hand.

When they noticed each other, their expressions instantly turned even uglier.

To one side of the throne, Dylan raised his voice. "Now, begin the slaughter! Only the victors will be allowed to live!"

Saliva oozed from the corner of Roa's mouth.

Heh heh, time to eat.
