Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

The next day, Unnamed Island.

The sun is shining brightly and the heat is rising.

"None of you are suitable to go to the island. I will go to the island alone to get information. You wait for me here. If you see someone coming, try to avoid them."

A small boat was anchored in a secluded place beside the island. Rhine and the other two sat quietly beside Barrett, listening to his story.

Um--

The three nodded in agreement.

After Barrett finished speaking, he leaped up and flew through the air. In an instant, he stepped onto the island and landed in an uninhabited place.

After tidying up casually, he walked towards the small town on the island with his upper body naked and his long hair draped over his shoulders.

Soon, after asking around, Barrett learned that they were in the first half of the Grand Line. The island was called Yuka Island, close to Alabasta. However, since Yuka Island was relatively remote, the newspaper seagulls rarely came, and there was very little information that could be obtained.

Barrett didn't ask too much. He used the gold coins he had taken from the laboratory treasury to buy a sea chart, some clothes and a few iron masks, then left in a hurry.

When the three saw Barrett return to the boat, they immediately surrounded him.

"Shanks, have you found out anything?" Rhine said anxiously, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Sister Rhine, let's leave here first."

As he spoke, Barrett used the oars to support the stone wall and pushed hard. The boat quickly left the island. After rowing for a distance, Barrett put down the oars, took out the sea chart and handed it to Rhine. "Sister Rhine, this is the sea chart. We are now in the waters of Alabasta. Take a look at the sea chart. We will go directly to Alabasta. This island is basically peaceful and it is difficult to get any news."

Barrett took out the clothes and masks he bought and gave them to the group. "Here are the clothes and masks I bought. Let's find an uninhabited island, change clothes, get some food, and then head directly to Alabasta."

Before anyone could reply, Barrett looked straight at Rhine and asked in a serious tone, "Sister Rhine, have you made up your mind? I am not completely sure about this matter. After all, the navy is very powerful. Once you are exposed, your life and death will be in jeopardy with Admiral Zefa."

Jin, who was standing aside, widened his eyes after hearing Barrett's words, and looked at Rhine with shock. He didn't expect that Rhine was actually related to the admiral of the navy.

What surprised him even more was that his captain seemed to be planning something extraordinary. For a moment, his eyes flickered and he was even a little excited.

When Luke heard that his mother might die, he looked at Rhine with tears in his eyes, his little face full of reluctance.

Hearing this, Rhine seemed a little silent. After a while, Rhine hugged Luke, looked at Barrett and said softly, "Shanks, can I know your real name?"

Hey--

After a long moment, Barrett sighed, "Douglas Barrett."

"Barrett, can I ask you a favor?" Rhine looked at Barrett and continued to speak, with a hint of request in his tone.

"You said."

Barrett was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"If it's a bad outcome, I hope you can help me take care of Luke."

Rhine suddenly knelt on his knees and bowed to Barrett.

"Mother--"

After going through several things, Luke had matured a lot mentally. Seeing his mother was like entrusting his last affairs to her, he could no longer hold back his tears and cry.

Jin, who was standing aside, had red eyes and turned his head away. After all, this kind of thing is most likely to touch people's hearts.

Barrett looked at Rhine, and his heart was filled with shock. The greatness of maternal love was fully demonstrated at this moment.

He also felt a little jealous and envious of Zefa. Rhine might not be very beautiful, but her love for Zefa alone was enough to move people.

What more can a husband ask for when his wife is like this?

Barrett sighed, helped Rhine up, and solemnly promised, "This is a mother's request. I agree to it."

"Thank you."

Rhine thanked him gratefully, then pulled the crying Luke into his arms and comforted him softly, "Luke, if mom is gone, you must listen to Brother Barrett in the future."

mother--

Luke cried.

"Luke." Rhine raised his voice with a hint of severity, then hugged Luke tightly and said gently, "Son, I can't let your father live in confusion. If I don't go, something bad will happen to him sooner or later, so you have to understand your mother."

Woohoo——

Perhaps because he was too young, Luke didn't know what to say in rebuttal and could only throw himself into Rhine's arms and cry loudly.

Barrett and Jhin watched and watched, their eyes becoming a little moist. They walked to the bow together and waited quietly.

After a long time, Luke was tired of crying and fell asleep in Rhine's arms. Rhine gently called to Barrett, "Barrett, can you come over here?"

Barrett looked back at Rhine, then stood up and walked over.

"Barrett, I want to hear your solution."

Rhine spoke very quietly, as if afraid of waking Luke.

"Sister Rhine, I want to ask if you have any friends in the news industry? Who can do live broadcasts?" Barrett asked.

The communications industry in this world is actually very developed, but only the World Government and the Navy know how to use public opinion. The next two times they used it were backfired. Roger used it to start the pirate era, and the War of Marineford allowed Whitebeard to make the final move, which completely caused the world to go crazy. Only then did the Navy and the World Government gradually reduce live broadcasts.

But now, the World Government and the Navy are still reaping the benefits, but there is no full network live broadcast. Barrett also wants to make good use of this incident and start the world's first live broadcast to help this world.

"I don't know them. I'm at the Navy Headquarters and usually hang out in the family quarters. There are only a few people I'm familiar with." Rhine shook his head.

"Forget it, let's talk about it in Alabasta. If we are going to do it, we should do it thoroughly. I don't want Luke to lose his parents at such a young age."

Barrett raised his eyebrows. Although he had expected this, he still felt a little disappointed. He could only settle for the second best and think of other solutions.

"Barrett, thank you for your help."

Rhine bowed slightly, an apologetic look on his face.

"It's okay!" Barrett waved his hand and handed the nautical chart to Rhine. "Sister Rhine, please take a look at the chart first and determine the route. We can plan everything slowly after we arrive in Alabasta."

Um--

Rhine took the nautical chart and looked at it carefully. He quickly determined the route to Alabasta. The two strong laborers, Barrett and Jin, became busy again. Under the rowing of the two super-humans, the boat was like an arrow from a bow, and was not inferior to some large ships.

……

Four days later, the group of four arrived in Alabasta, but in order not to attract attention, the four chose to settle on an uninhabited island away from Alabasta.

That night, the four of them lit a bonfire and sat around it. On the hot bonfire, a large piece of wild boar meat was roasted and sizzling with oil.

Barrett cut a few pieces with a knife, handed them to the three people, and said, "Sister Rhine, Jin, I will leave alone tomorrow to explore the way first. You wait for me on this island."

"Boss, how about I follow you?"

Jhin put down the piece of meat and looked straight at Barrett with a burning gaze. Through the conversation along the way, he knew that Barrett's plan this time was to cause the navy to lose a general. For him who had a grudge against the navy, it would be very uncomfortable if he could not participate.

"No." Barrett shook his head. "You have been rewarded. The most important thing now is to train and strengthen your own strength. Also, your identity cannot be exposed now. Once it is exposed, we will have no choice but to flee."

After hearing this, Jhin felt a little depressed and chewed the beast meat in disappointment. He knew that Barrett was right. His identity was a taboo and could not be seen in the light of day.

"Only the strong have the right to autonomy." Barrett patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"I understand, boss." Jhin nodded vigorously.

Then, Barrett said to Rhine, "Sister Rhine, just in case, I'll trouble you to guide him well while I'm away so that he can master the Six Styles as soon as possible."

"Don't worry! Barrett, I am very good at teaching people." Rhine responded with a smile, and his eyes looked bright when he looked at Jhin.

"Sister Rhine, I'll trouble you in the future."

Jhin then stood up and bowed to Rhine.

"It's okay, it's okay." Rhine's eyes sparkled brightly.

Seeing the familiar eyes, Barrett couldn't help but shrink his neck, remembering the fear of being dominated for half a year. He looked at Jhin with sympathy. He could fully imagine how painful Jhin would be in the days to come.

Then they chatted for a while longer, and taking advantage of the night, Barrett drove the boat alone and headed for Alabasta along the route indicated by Rhine.

After rowing for several hours, Barrett arrived at Alabasta at night. When the boat saw Alabasta, Barrett abandoned the boat and used the "A World Away" to enter Alabasta in the night.
