Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

Three days later, on the shore of Leah Island.

Shimotsuki Ryuche was holding a wooden sword and practicing basic sword techniques such as chopping, sweeping, slashing and stabbing in the water. He looked very proficient.

"As expected of a descendant of Frost Moon."

Barrett sat on the shore and couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw Shimotsuki Ryuche skillfully wielding the long sword.

Shimotsuki Ryuche had asked Jin to teach him the basic swordsmanship according to the swordsmanship of the Shimotsuki clan three days ago.

And Shimotsuki Ryuche seemed to be a natural swordsman. His understanding of the way of the sword was countless times faster than that of ordinary people. In just three days, he learned all the basics of the way of the sword and was able to use it skillfully.

This made Jhin feel that he had made a mistake.

Moreover, when Jin gave the Red Moon to Shimotsuki Ryuche, Shimotsuki Ryuche directly refused and wrote a line of words, saying that it was his own sword and he wanted to forge it himself.

This made Jhin very depressed and Barrett very embarrassed.

Later, the two of them communicated with Shimotsuki Ryuche through text and realized that they had picked up a treasure. Although Shimotsuki Ryuche did not know the Shimotsuki swordsmanship, he inherited the Shimotsuki family's sword-making skills.

Jin immediately untied one of his long swords and handed it to Shuangyue Longche, asking him to take a look.

After a careful inspection, Shimotsuki Ryuche said that although the craftsmanship of Jhin's long sword was good, the material was much worse and could only be compared to a good 50-grade sword at best.

This made Jhin even more depressed. He got the long sword when he was treasure hunting with Buggy. He used it very easily. After being identified by Rayleigh and others, it was said to be a good sword. Because the blade was purple, he specially named it Purple Dance.

As a result, when Ziwu got to Shuangyue Longche, she was no longer able to do it.

Jin didn't believe it, and immediately took out Zi Ye and showed it to Shuangyue Longche.

The purpose was that he also had some doubts about Shimotsuki Ryuche's sword-making skills. After all, Shimotsuki Ryuche was only 16 years old.

As a result, Jhin and Barrett were instantly slapped in the face. Shimotsuki Ryuche saw at a glance that Zi Ye was a demon sword, and explained Zi Ye's sword-forging skills clearly, and the two of them believed it completely.

Finally, Jin gave Ziwu to Shuangyue Longche and asked him to see if she could be upgraded to a lower level.

After checking it again, Shimotsuki Ryuche wrote down the names of several metals. As long as Jin was ready, they could help upgrade the sword to the level of Great Sword 21, or even stronger.

Jhin readily agreed.

Upon seeing this, Barrett immediately asked Shimotsuki Ryuche if he could forge other weapons. After all, his weapons had always been a dud and he didn't know how many times he had changed them.

Unfortunately, Shimotsuki Ryuche only knows how to forge swords and cannot forge other weapons, but he said he could try and then wrote down the names of several metals.

Barrett had no choice but to give it a try and said that he would collect the metal and let Shimotsuki Ryuche try. After all, he had been looking for a blacksmith for such a long time, but basically no one could forge a good halberd, which made him depressed.

"Boss—"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the sky.

"Boss, Delia and the others are back."

Jhin fell from the sky and landed next to Barrett.

“How many people did they bring back?”

Barrett was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Delia and the others would come back so early.

Although today is the third day, the sun has just risen and the day has just begun, which means that Delia and her friends have only spent two and a half days.

"Three large ships, all full, I estimate there must be several thousand people."

Jhin spoke quickly and seemed a little excited. It was obvious that he was also shocked by what Delia and the others did.

"Really? Not really."

Barrett's eyes widened. In less than three days, they cleaned up the mess and recruited thousands of people. It was not even that fast even if they were robbing people.

"Really, it's at the port now."

Jhin nodded. He understood Barrett's suspicion. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe it.

"Long Che, you practice first, and come to the camp to find me later."

Barrett called out to Shuangyue Longche on the shore and patted Jin on the shoulder, "Jin, let's go."

As he spoke, Barrett leaped up, and with a slight sense of observation, he flew towards Delia and the others.

"Long Che, just practice yours and come to the camp later."

Just as Jin was about to leave, he saw Shimotsuki Ryuche putting away his wooden sword and preparing to follow him. He quickly appeared beside Shimotsuki Ryuche and stopped him with a smile.

Well--

Shimotsuki Ryuche pointed in the direction Barrett left, then pointed at himself.

"It's okay, Boss. Your most important thing now is to increase your strength."

Seeing Shuangyue Longche's gesture, Jin instantly understood and patted his shoulder with a smile.

Well--

Shimotsuki Ryuche was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Then I'll be leaving first. After you finish training, go directly to the camp."

Jhin smiled and greeted, then leaped into the sky.

It was not until Jin disappeared into the sky that Shimotsuki Ryuche withdrew his gaze and walked towards the shore with his wooden sword in hand.

On the other side, after Barrett landed, he was stunned when he saw three large ships full of people.

"whee--"

Beside him, Delia hadn't stopped smiling since she saw Barrett.

Selina and the other four did the same, but they didn't smile as ostentatiously.

After a while, Jin landed beside the few people and looked at the three ships' population, also filled with shock.

"Delia, where did you get these people from?"

After a moment, Barrett came back to his senses, came close to Delia, and looked at her seriously.

Although he wanted to increase the population, he didn't want everyone, otherwise he wouldn't have asked people to buy slaves.

"I rescued them from a city called Arukar."

When it came to business, Delia also became serious. She understood what Barrett meant and was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation and get involved.

"Alukal, what exactly is going on?" Barrett asked puzzledly.

"Arukar is 500 nautical miles away from Leah Island..."

Listening to Delia's story, Barrett suddenly understood.

It turned out that in the New World, due to the rampant pirates, there were no towns or villages around Leah Island. The six of them flew for a whole day and only met a few people.

Later, they discussed and decided to look somewhere farther away. After flying for a long time, they found that Alukar was being robbed by pirates and many people had died. It was almost as if the whole family was destroyed.

Later, Delia and six other people took action and killed most of the pirates. They were shocked to find that the pirates' ships were all slave ships, and many slaves were captured on them.

Delia and her six companions decided to go all out and killed all the remaining pirates on the ship. They then returned to Leah Island with the three slave ships.

call--

After listening to it, Barrett breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was being slandered. It didn't matter if it was found out, as he could just be allowed to pass on some unimportant information.

What he is afraid of is that he won't be able to find out the truth, and someone gets to his senior level in the future, so that all the information will be known to others. Then, even if he finds out the truth later, he will suffer a great loss.

Just like Doflamingo in the original work, he was undercover by his own brother, exposed many of his plans, and lost the Operation Fruit, which was a heavy loss.

And now with Delia and the others' operation, unless they encounter an undercover slave ship, it is almost impossible to encounter an undercover agent.

In this world, almost no one would go undercover on a slave ship, because the only one who had the power and qualifications to manage it happened to be the biggest buyer of slaves.

Thinking of this, Barrett smiled, rubbed Delia's head, and said softly, "Delia, you did a good job this time. Tell me what reward you want."

"I don't want a reward, but you have to reward Selina and the others. They made a lot of efforts this time."

After getting the affirmation, Delia narrowed her eyes into crescents and revealed a sweet smile.

Hearing that Delia was fighting for rewards for them, the five Selina girls looked at Delia with gratitude.

"Don't worry!" Barrett said with a smile, "You have completed the mission well this time. Their rewards will not be small. I will get you whatever you want."

"Barrett, I don't want anything, but I hope you can find a suitable owner for it and fulfill my promise."

Delia thought about it, took out the long sword that the swordsman had used before, and handed it to Barrett.

"Okay, I promise you." Barrett took the long sword and nodded solemnly.

Then he said to Delia, "Delia, I am going to appoint you as the head of July. Are you willing?"

“It’s so troublesome.”

Delia made a bitter face and pouted her lips.

"If you don't want to, forget it."

Barrett had a helpless look on his face, he really didn't have much to do with Delia. He could force her to practice and face being killed, or threaten her by asking her to get off the ship, but he couldn't use this threat to force her to take up the position.

Jin was also smiling bitterly, covering his forehead.

Selina and the others were filled with envy and jealousy. Barrett had said before that July's status was that she was at the top of Barrett's group.

There is no need to say more about the Head of July. When Barrett's power expands in the future, his power and prestige will reach a peak.

But now Delia actually found it troublesome, which made them feel helpless.
