Pirates: Who is the real sun god?
Chapter 46 Let Her Stay
"Barrett, don't move. I'll feed you."
"Jin, you are not allowed to drink until your injury is healed."
"Barrett..."
"ember……"
Barrett looked at Delia, who was like a housekeeper, and felt overwhelmed. They had been on the journey for three days, and he had also had a headache for three days.
"Boss, I'm full. I'm going to go check out the front first. According to the nautical chart, the next island is called Jiji Island, and there is a kingdom on it."
Jhin put down the unfinished meat, ran out of the restaurant and flew into the sky. The main reason was that Delia was too annoying. In the past three days, not only Barrett, but also Jhin suffered from her vicious hands.
In order to avoid it, he ran very fast almost every day.
"Barrett, do you hate me?"
Seeing Jhin flying away again and Barrett's slightly disgusted look, Delia's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked at Barrett with tears in her eyes.
"Delia, we just met by chance and have only known each other for a few days. You should not be thinking about us now, but yourself. You should know that it is not far to Jiji Island. You should think about how you will survive on Jiji Island."
Barrett drank a glass of wine and said calmly.
"Barrett, are you going to kick me off the boat?" Delia looked at Barrett pitifully.
"You forget that we are just a transaction." Barrett chuckled.
"Barrett, I don't have any family anymore. Can I just stay on your ship?"
Delia looked at Barrett with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.
"No, there are no weaklings on my ship."
Barrett shook his head and stood up. Just as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Delia, Jin has prepared some treasures for you. If you are careful, you should be able to live a rich life."
After saying that, Barrett walked out of the kitchen without looking back.
Woohoo——
Watching Barrett leave, Delia's mouth drooped and she sat on the ground and started crying.
……
Half an hour later, Jhin came back and saw Barrett standing alone on the deck. He fell directly from the sky and landed next to Barrett.
"How far is it from Gigi Island?" Barrett spoke softly while looking at the sea.
"At our current speed, we will be there in just two hours." Jhin responded.
"Two hours?" Barrett whispered, then glanced at Delia who was busy in the room, and said, "Jin, go get some of the treasures you prepared earlier."
"Boss, we know each other after all, so it's not a big deal to give her some treasures!"
Jhin looked puzzled. In his impression, Barrett had never been a stingy person. Why did he become like this when he came to Delia?
"This is for her own good." Barrett explained, "Delia is just a little girl. Once people know that she has so much treasure, many people will want to take advantage of her."
"Boss, I understand."
Jhin nodded and quickly ran back to the room.
Barrett still stood on the deck, looking at the sea silently.
"Barrett, can I be part of your crew?"
At some point, Delia walked behind Barrett and spoke softly.
"No, you're too weak."
Barrett didn't look back, but just shook his head slightly.
"I can become stronger, and I'm very knowledgeable about navigation. Aren't you looking for a navigator? Why can't it be me?" Delia said anxiously.
"Can you sail?"
Hearing this, Barrett turned around and looked at Delia in surprise. They had been in contact for a few days, but Delia had never mentioned this matter.
"I have been learning from my uncle since I was a child. I have read all of his books and have some knowledge about sailing. However, I have never had the opportunity to sail on the sea, so I have never tried it." Delia said.
"We are indeed looking for a navigator, but our navigator cannot be a weakling, so please forgive me for not being able to agree."
Barrett frowned, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. Delia is now 14 years old and her physical fitness can only be considered average. Even if she exercises in the future, the effect will not be too good. It is extremely difficult for her to become a strong person.
Moreover, their current strength is not that strong. Once they encounter danger, they will not be able to guarantee Delia's safety at all.
"I can learn and work hard to become stronger."
Seeing Barrett's refusal, Delia became anxious and stepped forward to hold Barrett's hand.
"Becoming stronger is very painful, you can't bear that kind of pain, so forget it!"
Barrett thought about it and decided to refuse. Delia's talent was average and she was a girl. If they wanted to train her, they had to find a powerful devil fruit. Otherwise, Delia's upper limit would only be the level of major general at most, which was too dangerous for them in the early stages.
"You are not me, how do you know that I can't bear that kind of hardship?" Delia said dissatisfiedly.
"Really?" Barrett chuckled. "Then how are you going to let me see it? Standing there and talking?"
"Then what do you want me to do?" Delia stared at Barrett with red eyes.
"You've seen what we usually do, the same 200. If you can finish them before we reach Gigi Island, I'll let you get on the ship and be our navigator." Barrett looked at Delia with a smile. He didn't believe that the gentle girl could accomplish it.
"Okay, you said so."
Delia let go of Barrett, put her hands on the ground, and did push-ups.
"We are still about forty minutes away from Gigi Island. If you don't speed up, you won't be able to finish it by then, and you won't have the strength left. Then I will have to throw you off the boat." Barrett didn't want Delia to get on board, so he deliberately made things difficult for her.
Huff, huff—
Delia ignored Barrett and moved much faster than before, but her physical speed was also much faster.
Barrett looked at the sea and didn't pay any attention. This set of movements included six skills including push-ups, squats, sit-ups, bunny hops, etc. Even when he first did it, he only did 500 of them, and it took him several hours.
Even though it was much less now, in his opinion, it was impossible for Delia, who had never exercised, to complete it or stick to it.
After a while, Jin came to the deck and saw Delia doing push-ups. He asked Barrett curiously, "Boss, what's going on with Delia?"
"She wanted to get on our boat, so I gave her a chance. I asked her to do 200 of each of our usual exercises before arriving at Gigi Island. If she finished, I would let her on the boat," Barrett explained with a smile, looking back.
"How can this be."
Jhin also didn't believe Delia could accomplish it.
Those training methods were taught to him by Barrett. When he first started exercising, he only did 300 for each item. It was only after a few days that he adapted and gradually increased the number of reps.
"She insisted on doing it, and there was nothing I could do."
Barrett shrugged, looking helpless.
Huff, huff—
Delia didn't listen at all and kept doing push-ups. Being looked down upon by the two men, she walked much faster, and her sweat kept dripping onto the deck, soaking her clothes quickly.
Barrett and the other man were in trouble. Barrett turned to look at the sea, while Jhin left the deck directly.
However, Delia's continuous push-ups still impressed Barrett, who used his observation Haki to watch silently.
Time passed, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Barrett and Jhin looked at the port of Jiji Island and fell into silence.
In fact, they had already arrived at Gigi Island more than ten minutes ago.
Although Delia had only completed three items so far, Delia's persistence made him and Jin unable to speak.
She fell down and got up, almost fainting from exhaustion. She pinched herself hard to let the pain stimulate herself, and her hands and legs became bloody.
"Boss, leave her here!"
Looking at Delia who was still exercising, Jin couldn't help but try to persuade her.
"Ah--" Barrett sighed softly. Delia's persistence and belief moved him.
"Delia, get up!" Barrett sighed.
"Barrett, give me some more time, I can still do it."
When Delia heard this, she panicked instantly, and quickly grabbed Barrett, begging with tears in her eyes.
"I mean, we're here, you can stop."
Looking at Delia's appearance, Barrett felt a sudden pain in his heart.
"Barrett, I—"
Delia became so anxious that she fainted and fell into Barrett's arms.
"I don't know if doing this will hurt you." Barrett whispered with a mysterious look in his eyes.
Then, Barrett shouted to Jin, "Jin, go buy some supplies and herbs for the medicinal bath. We're leaving now."
"Okay, boss."
Jhin nodded, jumped from the boat to the port, stepped on a stone slab, and then swaggered into the Gigi Kingdom. His domineering appearance made some people at the port who were ready to make moves immediately give up their thoughts, and unknowingly saved themselves a lot of trouble.
