One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 151 My name is Ruth, I am a refugee at sea

"Why hasn't the navy arrived yet? It's so late this time, are they scared?"

A group of trainee crew members who stayed on the pirate ship were chatting. They looked out to sea and would immediately notify the main force to evacuate if they spotted a navy ship.

They have done this many times, and almost every time they were able to detect the invading navy in advance.

Of course, there is also the reason that the navy here is not strong.

But their equipment is very sophisticated, and the naval guns are far inferior to their ship guns, both in range and power. Otherwise, Boss Moria would not have sent a small number of people to stay behind.

To avoid meaningless death.

Moria, who values ​​his companions very much, does not want any of them to die. If any of them dies, the killer will bear his wrath!

"It's best to be scared! This time Captain Moria is leading us to rob the allied countries. The longer we delay, the greater the reward will be! I estimate that we can hold banquets for a month or two after this trip!"

"Yes, Captain Moriah is so kind to us. After two more explorations, I should be able to be promoted to a full member."

"Congratulations, brother! You're right, Captain Moria is definitely the best captain on the sea!"

"Wait, look over there!"

Suddenly, a pirate pointed to the distance and said that there was a small sloop sailing towards this side.

There was a big man in tattered clothes on the sailboat. He stood at the bow and looked at the pirate ship on his side. Although his expression could not be seen clearly, he seemed to be very alert.

"That ship is starting to turn around! What should we do? Should we notify the captain?"

A pirate looked at his companions and asked.

They are not the kind of pirates who burn, kill and plunder without bottom line. They basically follow Moria and fight wherever he points. Moria has the final say on who can rob and who cannot rob.

Along the way, the people they robbed with the teenage Moria were basically wealthy businessmen and nobles, and they even rescued many poor people who were suffering. Most of the trainee pirates on their ship were people who had been rescued before.

This is one of the reasons why they are willing to follow Moria wholeheartedly. On the other hand, Moria's personal charm is worthy of the death of these crew members.

"Kirby, go inform the captain and leave four people here to guard against the navy. Ah Xin, come with me to row the boat to take a look. I guess they are a group of slaves who just escaped, or refugees at sea. Maybe we can have a few more brothers. I think Boss Moria will also allow us to do this!"

"Okay! Stay safe Bob,"

After saying that, several pirates who stayed on the pirate ship took action separately. Pirate Kirby quickly slipped off the pirate ship and ran towards the kingdom on the island.

Bob and Ashin lowered the small rowboat hanging on the side of the boat, sat on it and rowed towards the small sailboat that was heading sideways.

While rowing, they waved their hands to show their friendliness, so that the people on the sailboat would relax their guard and be willing to chat with them.

Sure enough, the big man on the sailboat over there obviously saw their actions. The sailboat, with the canvas half-retracted, slowly drifted to the side while waiting for the arrival of the two of them.

About half an hour later, with the efforts of Bob and Ashin, the canoe arrived next to the small sailboat. After the other party threw down two ropes, the big man looked at them vigilantly with a knife in his hand.

If there was anything wrong, he would immediately cut the rope, turn around, lower the sail and escape.

"Don't! We are trainee crew members of the Moria Pirates. We should have some reputation in this sea area. We have saved many slaves who were trafficked!"

As Bob spoke, he and Ashin tied the rope to the rowing boat, then took off their coats, leaving only a vest and bagless shorts to show in front of each other.

"Come on up! Don't play tricks, you two pirates!"

"Don't be so malicious, brother. Are you refugees from the sea or something? You must have just arrived from other places. Are you looking for supplies on the island?"

"So what? God knows what you pirates are up to!"

"Hey - come and give me a hand, let me go up first~"

Bob was hanging upside down on the rope, stretching out his left hand and smiling at the big man who was standing by the boat and watching them warily.

His tone was kind and joking, and he could easily get close to strangers.

The big man was obviously moved, then he held the knife in one hand and lifted Bob up with the other.

When Bob came up and looked around, he saw two men behind the big man, each holding a flintlock rifle pointing at him.

Only after the big man pulled up his companion Ashin and the three of them stood together did he slowly put down his pistol.

Bob glanced at the door of the cabin and saw a group of ragged slaves inside. Three strong men were standing in front of them to protect them.

"Brother, let me introduce myself. My name is Bob and I'm a pirate."

Bob extended his hand, wanting to get to know the big man first. After all, getting to know the other person's name is the first step in communication. On the other side, the disguised Tru pretended to be alert, then obviously hesitated for a few seconds before shaking hands with the other party and introducing himself:

"Root, a refugee at sea."

A refugee at sea is someone who has been shipwrecked or has left his homeland and is in dire straits.

Fugitives, what about those slaves in the cabin?

Bob was a little confused, but he soon figured it out.

They must have been rescued by Ruth and his companions, right? If they were not hiding, there should be six of them, and each of them was very skilled, far beyond the average person.

After all, those who are good at slave hunting are not easy to deal with. They are either teams raised by nobles and merchants, or gangsters and pirates.

However, if we could take them to Captain Moria to recruit them as trainee crew members, he would probably be very happy!

Captain Moria is indeed very powerful, but if he wants to build a powerful force, reliable subordinates are also indispensable.

Mature crew members must learn to help their captain gather reliable and powerful subordinates!
In terms of character, people like Ruth who can take the initiative to rescue these slaves are definitely not bad. Captain Moria only needs to observe them twice and he will definitely be satisfied!
After thinking for a while, Bob asked directly:
"Are there slaves in there? Do you need help? Although we are pirates, Captain Moria is a very good person. He wouldn't mind if we just rescue and arrange for these slaves!
If you don't believe it, you can ask the slaves inside. Maybe there are people who know our Moria Pirates. You are outsiders, so you probably don't know the situation in this sea area, right?"

"Tebo, go ask."

Tru said to Potter beside him, also making up a temporary name for the place.

When you are out in the world, your identity, name, and background are all given by yourself!

Mr. Ross has told them this: they must speak differently to different people and act according to circumstances, and not always think that they have everything prepared.

Even in a war, many accidents are inevitable.

The most typical example is Marshal Sora's New World War. He thought everything was ready for a crushing victory, but in the end he was crushed. He never expected that all the pirates in the New World would unite.

It's just... incredible.

Not long after, Porter came back and said something in Tru's ear, which made him relax immediately and look relieved in front of Bob.

"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Well, I didn't expect there are good people among pirates. I am too one-sided."

In response to Bob's smug question, Tru nodded with a guilty look as an apology.

In Tohru's mind, he secretly gave scores to the Moria Pirates and Moria himself, and judged that the moral standards of this group of people were above the passing line.

There is a set of moral standards within Cloud Island planned by Ross. It is a set of rules that are not really rules at all. They have been listed bit by bit over the years. They had taken a look at them before when they were on vacation.

This is the bottom line that any normal person can abide by.

After comparing the words from the slaves, Tru gave his evaluation.

Coincidentally, the six of them had originally planned to sneak into the kingdom that was attacked, pretending to be civilians who had grudges against the nobles, and take the opportunity to infiltrate the Moria Pirates.

Then make a decision after a series of evaluations.

But on the way they encountered a small slave ship bearing the distinctive emblem of a noble family, the same as the Nasdaq family of Cloud Island.

Then they took care of all the guys above, brought these slaves here together, and after disguising themselves, they ended up in the current scene.

Tru is confident that he can protect these slaves. To be a little arrogant, if the six of them attack together, Moria may not last more than three minutes, and the other pirates are almost nothing.

After all, how strong can a pirate with a bounty of 20 million be? Even if Moria's real strength is around 50 million, they are not exaggerating.

Otherwise, they would not have taken the risk of bringing these slaves with them, but would have settled them first before carrying out the plan.

"Ahaha, it's okay, it's okay. After all, most pirates are not good people. Before I was rescued by Captain Moria, I was scared to death. I was afraid that they would kill me."

Bob said with a smile, there was no fear on his face, but only respect and love for Moria.

Tru made another comment in his mind. This Moria was a pirate with great charm. If he was not guided or simply dealt with, he would become a big trouble in the future!
We are not afraid of the pirates being strong, but we are afraid of the pirates having cohesion!
Even Marshal Kong was defeated by the terrifying cohesion of the legendary pirate. How could these small marines under them not be vigilant and pay attention?

"By the way, why don't we go meet up with Captain Moria first? I don't know why the navy hasn't come yet, but we should still be alert."

Bob said, then looked indignant and composed words with disgust:

"The navy in this sea area is basically the lackeys of the nobles! A bunch of indiscriminate rubbish, not even as good as pirates!
If they find out that you have rescued these slaves, the consequences will be..."
