Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

Barrett and Delia took Buck and his party back to their ship.

As soon as they saw Jhin on the boat, Buck and the others were stunned for a moment, but it was only a moment. After all, the Carrera Company had been dealing with pirates for many years, so they were not surprised by any pirate, no matter how big it was.

Everyone tacitly pretended not to know and went about their work with peace of mind.

Soon, more than a dozen boxes of treasure were accounted for.

"Sir, according to our calculations, your dozen boxes of treasure are worth a total of 25 billion Baileys. After deducting the 9 million Baileys deposit and the 2000 million Baileys for the replacement of the ship, we need to give you 16 billion Baileys. Here is the calculation form, you can take a look."

Buck handed Barrett a form.

"No need, Mr. Buck, just complete the transaction as soon as possible so we can leave." Barrett didn't take the form and smiled faintly.

In Buck's opinion, Barrett seemed extremely free and easy, but only Barrett himself knew that he got a headache when he saw those forms.

"Okay sir." Buck nodded with a smile.

Not long after, Barrett and his team completed the transaction. Barrett took Jhin and the other two on board a new ship and headed towards Shampoo.

-

Chambord Islands.

Barrett and his group, wearing the same clothes as Long, walked towards the illegal area No. 12.

The Sabaody Archipelago is near the Naval Headquarters. There is the world's largest mangrove tree, the "Archiman mangrove". Because the roots of the tree are always exposed above the water, the Sabaody Archipelago was formed.

The entire island is made up of 79 trees (all numbered), and there are towns and facilities on each tree. People call this archipelago of 79 islands the "Chabaoti Archipelago".

The regional divisions of the Chabaoti Archipelago are also very clear, based on the numbers on the trees:

Numbers 1 to 29 are illegal areas such as human trafficking shops.

Numbers 30 to 39 are an amusement park.

Numbers 40 to 49 are the tourist areas, where souvenirs are sold.

Numbers 50 to 59 are the shipyard, where there are coating craftsmen.

No. 60 to 69 are the entry and exit areas for the navy and the government.

Nos. 70 to 79 are hotel streets and other places.

As the entrance to the New World, the Chabaoti Archipelago is very prosperous.

But it is also very chaotic, especially the illegal zones 1 to 29, where human trafficking, arms, drugs, etc. are all available.

Here, it is a paradise for pirates, where the strong are truly respected. If you show even a little bit of weakness, others will take advantage of you and will even add insult to injury.

On the contrary, as long as your injuries are severe, people will be afraid of you and others will be wary of you and dare not provoke you easily.

For example, just like Barrett and the others, after Jhin used his domineering color, a group of people fell to the ground. When they asked for directions, someone led the way, and they soon arrived at a slave market where human trafficking was taking place.

As the four of them entered the slave market, a middle-aged man with fat intestines and tripe came over, shaking the fat on his face and flatteringly said, "Dear guests, I am the person in charge of this market. If you need anything, I can take you there directly."

"How much is the price for a slave between 12 and 15 years old, without disease or physical defects?"

Barrett spoke lightly. He had never had a good impression of slave traders. If he had not been lying dormant, he would not have come to buy slaves, nor would he have dealt with slave traders.

"Sir, this kind of slave is very popular among the nobles, so the price will be higher." The fat man said with a smile.

"price."

Under the mask, Barrett's eyes focused, and a domineering aura flashed across him.

"20 Beli for men and 15 Beli for women." The fat man was frightened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"How many of these slaves do you have?" Barrett asked.

"About 800." The fat man was silent for a while and responded in a deep voice.

Delia was stunned for a moment when she heard the number said by the fat man, but Barrett and the other two felt it was very normal. Barrett and Jhin knew that it was because they had encountered many slave ships before and had become numb to it, while Johnson felt that it was because he himself was a slave.

"I want to choose it myself." Barrett said lightly.

"Guys, please come this way."

The fat man hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of Barrett's previous dominance, he chose to agree.

After many twists and turns, the fat man led everyone to the place where the slaves were imprisoned.

All the slaves were locked in a huge iron cage, both men and women. They looked very thin, but their limbs were intact. However, most of them had empty eyes and sat in the cage stupidly, as if they had chosen to accept their fate.

"Sir, the slaves you want are in these cages. You can choose them directly if you need them." The fat man said, pointing at the cages.

Barrett nodded without responding. The face under the mask looked a little heavy. Although he had seen it many times, he felt a little heavy in his heart every time he saw it.

"I am not here to select slaves. If you want to leave, you can follow me. The price may be death and your loyalty."

Barrett's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone in the cage.

Most of the people in the cages still had blank expressions on their faces and empty eyes, as if they hadn't heard anything at all.

Some people have a glimmer of light in their eyes.

"If you want to leave, stand up, walk to the cage, and let me see your belief in freedom."

"You only have one minute. After one minute, I will leave."

Barrett looked at the cage calmly, his tone was even, but it gave people a very sincere feeling.

Huhu——

"Take me away, and I will give you my loyalty."

A moment later, a young man walked tremblingly to the cage and looked at Barrett with burning eyes, with desire and light in his eyes.

"you are the first."

Barrett glanced at the boy. He looked young, with scars and blood all over his body, but there was a light in his eyes.

Then, the second, third, fourth...

"That's all, let them out."

A minute later, Barrett turned to look at the fat man and spoke softly.

"Okay, sir."

The fat man turned his head and took a look. There were about 500 figures in front of the cage. A very happy smile appeared on his face. Big customers like Barrett were only seen a few times a year.

"Someone, please record it for me and let these people out."

The fat man waved his hand and shouted to the two guards standing at the other end.

"Okay, my lord."

Two guards ran over with fawning looks on their faces, opened the iron locks with a "click", and released the slaves one by one.

The fat man was recording on the side.

"Boss, can these people really do it?"

Looking at the skinny and pale slaves, Jin couldn't help but murmur.

"I told them that they might die, and if their determination to live is not strong enough, then there is only death."

Barrett's tone was cold, making people feel that he was not at all human.

"Barrett, how could you do this?" Delia looked at Barrett with dissatisfaction.

"You are not mine yet." Barrett glanced at Delia indifferently.

Delia shuddered and lowered her head silently.

"Whether it's you and Johnson, or them, you all need to go through this trial. Only those who survive will be qualified to follow me."

Barrett ignored the disappointed Delia and walked forward while speaking.

Finally, he looked directly at all the boys and girls who had walked out of the cage, and said sternly, "I'll give you one last chance. If you follow me, you will experience death first. Only with my approval will I remove the shackles from his neck. If you don't have the courage to go through it, then you can go back. If you are willing to follow me, walk behind me."

Some of the slaves who were released were hesitant, because they had come out to make friends and just wanted freedom, not to die with anyone.

Most people walked behind Barrett in a carefree manner. For them, they would rather die than be without freedom.

Soon, a large group of people gathered behind Barrett, about 300 people. Some of the people standing in front of the cage wanted to come over, but Barrett waved his hand and said, "You missed your last chance."

"Sir, please give us another chance."

"Yes! Sir, we also want to follow you."

"..."

Hearing this, the faces of the remaining boys and girls suddenly changed, and they all asked Barrett to take them in, because they saw the ferocious smile of the fat supervisor.

“There are many choices in life. Some people choose stability and keep themselves safe, while others choose the unknown, death, or a turbulent life. But you must not regret it, because time cannot be reversed.”

Barrett's calm voice reached the ears of everyone present. Jhin and others seemed to be lost in thought, and the remaining slaves looked ashen. They did not beg because they knew that the man in front of them would not give them another chance.

"Put them back in."

Then, the fat man's slightly fierce voice sounded.

"Go in-"

The two guards viciously drove the remaining slaves into cages.

"Now, you want 308 slaves in total. I'll give you a discount. Regardless of gender, all of them will be charged 15 Beli, a total of 462 million Beli."

The fat man walked up to Barrett with a flattering look on his face.

"Jin, pay and leave."

Barrett nodded, turned around and said to the group of people following him, "Let's go!"

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone responded in unison and followed Barrett away.
