Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

"Jin, hurry up and leave."

Seeing so many people dead, from all forces, Barrett didn't want to cause trouble. After all, at this special juncture, it was not worth it to be targeted by others, especially the World Government. Anything that happened now might attract the attention of the World Government. He didn't want to be targeted now and affect his subsequent plans.

"I'll go right away."

Jhin also knew that this was a special period, so he nodded decisively and ran into the machinery room.

Rumbling--

The propeller turned, and with the help of the sea breeze and the propeller, the ship moved forward rapidly. It soon sailed out of the sea area and headed towards Helios, leaving only swollen corpses floating on the sea, which looked extremely creepy.

-

At night, the boat was lit up with lights and moved slowly in the darkness. Barrett and Jhin sat at the bow, while Enel was exercising beside him, with big drops of sweat dripping onto the deck.

Thumb thump——

At this moment, a burst of messy footsteps was heard in the cabin.

"Enelu, stop for a moment. Those two have woken up. Go and bring them here first." Barrett said with a slight smile, releasing his Observation Haki.

"Okay, boss."

Enelu stood up and ran towards the cabin.

"Jin, go prepare some food."

Then Barrett gave another order.

"Um--"

Jhin nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

A moment later, Enelu brought the two boys to the deck.

There were two boys, one tall and one short. The shorter one was only about 1.7 meters tall, about the same height as Enel, and the taller one was nearly two meters tall, with a bit of arrogance on his face. The tall and thin boy, after seeing the domineering Barrett and the strangely dressed Jhin, was only briefly panicked and frightened, and then disappeared completely. The short boy was not bad either, and frowned after a brief fright.

Seeing this, Barrett's opinion of the two men increased a little. It is really rare for people of this age to have such psychological qualities.

"Hello, are you the one who saved us?"

Of the two, the tall and thin boy spoke first. He had long golden hair, fair skin, and a handsome face. However, there was a hint of arrogance on his handsome face, and his eyes were narrow and bright.

"We just happened to come across you and saw you were still alive, so we fished you out. You can also say that we saved you two." Barrett chuckled and suddenly became interested in this young man. With such courage, if he is trained well, he will definitely become a good helper in the future.

"Thank you for saving my life."

The tall and thin boy took a deep breath, his frown relaxed a lot, and bowed to Barrett.

"Thanks--"

Seeing this, the short boy bowed and saluted.

"You two, please tell me your names and origins first." Barrett smiled and waved his hand.

"Lime Jones." The tall and thin boy raised his eyebrows, his face full of confidence.

"Rick Simba"

Another young man followed closely behind, speaking just as clearly.

Lyme Jones.

Barrett's eyes lit up when he heard the name of the tall and thin boy. This name was not ordinary. Lime Jones was one of the backbones of the future Red Hair Pirates, a very powerful man.

Could it really be that person?

Barrett thought about it carefully and decided that if it was really that Lime Jones, he would have to find a way to recruit him for his own use.

Although the original work did not mention much about the strength of the Red Hair Pirates' crew, based on his understanding of Shanks, although that guy is a bit stupid, he has very high standards and ordinary people are not even in his eyes.

Haven’t you seen that those who have shown their strength in the original work are all top-level powerhouses?

Besides, the Red Hair Pirates are an elite team, and their crew members are not very strong. They cannot become one of the Four Emperors just relying on Shanks and Beckman.

Now I don’t know if the person in front of me is one of the Four Emperors’ crew members. If he is, then I’ll be lucky.

"Lime Jones, tell me your origins."

Barrett looked at Rem Jones intently, his Observation Haki activated, and he read Rem Jones's mind. Before recruiting new crew members, testing their minds had almost become a habit of his.

"I come from the Grand Line, my home is..."

Lime Jones frowned when he heard this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and then he spoke slowly.

Listening to Lime Jones's slow story, Barrett couldn't help but smile. Through mind reading, he knew that Lime Jones came from an ordinary family and went out to sea with his parents to broaden his horizons. He just didn't expect that they would encounter a sudden tsunami on their way back.

"Lime Jones, how about following me from now on?"

Barrett looked at Lime Jones with a friendly smile on his face. After all, if he didn't accept such a top talent, he would be punished by God.

"Sir, don't you think this is rude?"

Before Lime Jones could answer, the boy next to him named Rick Simba spoke in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, what's so rude about that!"

Barrett was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look to the side, then smiled.

Rick Simba is obviously younger than Lime Jones, with a shaved head and a round face, which makes him look cute.

"Sir, there are two of us here. Isn't it rude of you to only invite Jones?"

Rick Simba puffed up his little face and looked at Barrett seriously.

"Haha, then why are you following me?" Barrett laughed.

"To have enough food."

Rick Simba was very straightforward and gave a very ordinary reason.

Hearing this, Barrett, Lime Jones, and even Enel who was exercising were stunned. They didn't expect Rick Simba to say it so simply.

Looking at Rick Simba, Barrett couldn't help but think of Johnson. Johnson fought in the arena just to eat, and he followed him in the beginning just to eat. He was so similar to Rick Simba in front of him.

By sensing the emotions, Barrett could clearly know that what Rick Simba said was true.

After a moment of silence, Barrett decided to give him a chance and said in a deep voice, "Kid, it's easy to get enough food, but you also need to participate in a lot of training, and you may die. Do you still want to join us now?"

"I'm sure that if I had to choose to die, I wouldn't want to die of starvation. I've experienced that feeling before."

Rick Simba nodded, a determined look on his face.

Barrett was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Rick Simba to be so organized.

Enel was also stunned for a moment, looking at Rick Simba, he couldn't help but feel a sense of resonance, as he had also had the experience of almost starving to death.

Only Lime Jones looked surprised. He didn't expect that his companion, who had floated with him, had actually had such an experience.

Hahaha--

After a moment, Barrett laughed and said, "Rick Simba, I agree that you join my forces, but you need to remember that I hate betrayal and do not allow betrayal. Once you betray me, no matter where you hide, I will find you and kill you with my own hands.

If you want to defect, you have to be stronger than me."

"Don't worry, sir. I will never betray you." Rick Simba said seriously.

"Okay, I hope you can keep your word, and call me Boss from now on. Everyone in my faction will call me that."

Barrett smiled and rubbed the little bald head.

"Okay, boss," Rick Simba grinned.

Then Barrett turned to look at Lyme Jones, "Jones, what is your choice?"

"Can I become stronger?" Lime Jones asked back.

"It's not up to me to become stronger, it's up to you. As long as you want, you can become stronger." Barrett said calmly, "If you want to become stronger, I will provide you with a platform so that you have the qualifications to become a strong person."

"Meet the boss."

Lime Jones covered his chest with one hand and bowed slightly to Barrett.

Hahaha--

After collecting the two children, Barrett was in a very happy mood. He laughed and waved his hands, saying, "To celebrate Simba and Jones joining us, let's go have a big meal."

As he said this, he strode towards the restaurant.

When it comes to eating, Simba's eyes light up and he moves the fastest.

Enel and Lime Jones followed behind with smiles on their faces.

Late at night, with stars rolling and the moon hanging high in the sky, Barrett and Jhin sat at the bow of the boat, drinking wine leisurely.

Enelu and the other two were all lying on the deck exhausted, sleeping soundly.

"Jin, when we return this time, have someone check all the information about the islands around Helios and Phocia as soon as possible. It's time for us to take action."

Barrett put down the wine flask and spoke softly.

"I know this. I was already doing it when I went back last time." Jhin chuckled.

"That's good. We are the only ones who can occupy the sea area of ​​Helios, so we must investigate it thoroughly."

Barrett stood up, looked ahead, and said domineeringly, "The era of great strife is about to begin. That will be our starting point, the starting point for us to become the overlord in the new world."

"Don't worry! Boss, we have been waiting for this day for many years."

Jhin stood up and took half a step behind Barrett, with a burning flame in his eyes, looking out at the sea in the distance.
