The War Of Pirates

Chapter 27 - The Journey to the Peak of Mount Kledge (Part 4)

"Wait a minute, before you go on. Are you their slave ?." Ask Zack. After Zack asked that question, the situation suddenly became silent for a moment.

"Hey, replied ban*sat !!!." Shouted Captain Albert while lifting the collar of the merchant's shirt.

"Captain....." Said Rowan, and Wilson was about to appease Captain Albert.

"Yes, I am their slave, after all most people on this island are slaves." Connect the merchant.

After hearing the reply from the baker, Captain Albert lowered his hand which was lifting the collar of the merchant's shirt.

"Alright, continue your explanation of the relationship of these things you have said to the recently increased criminal rate on this path we are on !." Captain Albert's orders.

"In 1893, the, Christopher Maximus devised a new rule under which all Pacific Pirate slaves could meet with their family or associates held captive by Christopher Maximus on the condition that each slave must pay Christopher Maximus 20 Pounds through their respective employers if they want to meet with their families or colleagues who are detained by Christopher Maximus, by giving the money to their respective employers, after that their employers will send a letter containing 20 Pounds to Christopher Maximus..." Answer the merchant.

"Wait a minute, before you go on. Is the system trustworthy ?." Connect Captain Albert.

"I know it." Answer the merchant. "Hm... But how do the slaves get the money ?." Ask Zack.

"They are usually paid a salary by their employer every month of 10 Pounds." Answer the merchant.

"What a very small salary, can they buy food for up to a month with such a small salary ?." Ask Zuma.

"No, the money is more properly said to be a pocket money than a salary, because for their food matters, it has been prepared by their respective Masters." Answer the merchant.

"Wow, it turns out that the slaves here are treated pretty well too, huh." Said Zuma. "Yes, this is really very surprising." Rowan.

"But don't get me wrong, what I said earlier only applies to slaves from wealthy employers. Generally the slaves here only get to eat leftover food from their masters, and usually they have to kneel down to worship their masters to get a salary in order to meet their families. Even for many female slaves who were made slaves***** by their employers to get money to meet their families or colleagues." Said the trader.

"God. But by the way with 20 Pounds they can meet with their family or colleagues for how long ?." Ask Wilson.

"Just 24 hours." Answer the merchant. "Wow, what a short time for the desperate struggle they have been through." Said Zuma.

"Yes, that's it." Answer the merchant. "But, what about the traders on this island ?. Are they slaves too ?." Ask Zack.

"Heheheheh.... Now all the inhabitants of the Wonder Area are slaves, there are only 6 people who are masters in this area..." Answer the merchant.

"What !?!. Don't joke, does that mean the Golden Shark and all the pirates in the region are slaves ?." Connect Captain Albert.

"Yes. Currently, the entire population of Wonder Area is a slave belonging to Christopher Maximus and he is one of the 7 people who do not belong to the group of slaves in this region along with his friends...." Answer the merchant.

"But did Christopher Maximus allow his slaves to do as they pleased as they would have been masters of the Golden Shark ?." Connect Rowan.

"I'll explain. So it was actually after the end of Pacific War 3, many employers from the Wonder Area left the region and lived in areas on the border with Britain and its allies on the orders of Christopher Maximus with the aim of strengthening the border defenses from various threats from outside....." Answer the merchant.

Suddenly Captain Albert quickly shot towards the bushes that were on their left and right sides.

Suddenly 2 masked girls whose bodies and heads were enveloped by a cloth jumped from both directions of Captain Albert's previous shot, then attempted to incapacitate Captain Albert with their knives.

A fight ensued, and Captain Albert quickly pulled out his small knife and quickly knocked the two girls down.

"Wow, I just found out that you're really good at fighting, Captain." Said Zuma. "Yes, because I also served in the British Government's Marine Security Force for 2 years before I was a chartered captain for a British yacht." Answer Captain Albert.

"Well, how old are you now, Captain ?." Zack asked. "23 years old, I started my career at the British Government's Marine Safety Unit at the age of 18." Answer Captain Albert.

"Wow !!!." Shocked Zack, Rowan, Wilson, Zuma, and the traffickers Captain Albert. "Haha.... But who are you, and why are you attacking us ?." Captain Albert asked the two girls.

"No, we won't tell you, you CM slave !!!." Answer one of the two girls.

"Hey, what does it mean to call me a CM slave ?. What is a CM, a centimeter anyway ?." Captain Albert asked the baker he was holding.

"CM stands for Christopher Maximus." Answer the merchant. "Owh, hey what do you mean by calling me a slave ?." Captain Albert asked one of the two girls who called him a CM slave.

"Heheheh..... Pretending to be plain, yes. What a disgusting thing you are, do you think I'm that stupid for your day ?." Answer the girl.

"What an unclear answer." Said Captain Albert. "Hey, wait a minute. Are you the personal servants of the CM residence....?" Ask the baker who Captain Albert is holding.

With a blink of an eye the two girls directly pointed their knives at the merchant's neck.

"It turns out you guys are really CM's personal men, huh ?. How do you know that info ?." Asked one of the girls to the baker who was with Captain Albert and his four men to the Liberly Island Information Center.

"Let's calm, now that you've become one of the hot topics of conversation at the Liberly Island Trade Center, I only know that info from one of my friends." Said the trader.

"Can you lower your knife from our friend's neck and solve this problem with a cold head ?." Captain Albert asked, pointing his gun at one of the girls.

The two girls began to lower their knives from the merchant's neck. "Perfect, now...." Captain Albert said he was about to lower his gun.

Suddenly the two girls immediately attacked Captain Albert, one of the two girls managed to slice the face of Captain Albert. But with a quick reaction Captain Albert managed to avoid a more dangerous attack.

"My face feels so hot, what is this ?. Oh shit don't-don't....." Said Captain Albert.

Once again one of the two girls again attacked Captain Albert abruptly by throwing his knife at Captain Albert's chest. Fortunately, the attack was avoided by Captain Albert.

''What's up, Captain ?." Ask Zack. "Damn, if the attack had hit my chest, my life could have floated. Everyone stay away from these two girls and try not to touch the knife !!!." Captain Albert's orders.

"What's the matter, Captain ?." Ask Wilson. "The knife has been covered in water with a high content of sulfuric acid." Answer Captain Albert.

"Heheheheh...." Laughing at the two girls.
