"Old liar?"
The young man was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed angrily, "Sir Sharp is not a liar, he is our hero!"
"hero?"
The captain sneered, "Then where is your hero? Where is he now?"
"Lord Sharp is resting. We've already notified him. Just wait, once he arrives, you're all doomed!"
The young man glanced at his compatriot lying on the ground and said angrily, "Lord Sharp will definitely stop you!"
"Sharp?"
The captain scoffed a few times, then suddenly roared, "Olex Sharp! Where are you? Come out now!!!"
Suddenly, a commotion arose behind the crowd of young people as a group of people surrounded a burly man who slowly approached.
"Lord Sharp!"
The young man with the braid exclaimed with delight, "You've arrived!"
"Soros..."
The burly man was probably in his fifties, with some gray in his temples. He opened his mouth to the young man, but ultimately pursed his lips. He walked to the front of the crowd, looked at the man wearing the captain's hat, and saw the captain's sinister smile growing wider and wider, so he remained silent.
"Lord Sharp!"
Soros said urgently, "This man says you're a liar! They've brought men to capture us and take us back to be slaves. You'll definitely rescue us again, won't you? You will!"
“Soros, I…” Sharp didn’t look at Soros, but lowered his head and remained silent.
This completely stunned Soros.
He's not stupid; he knows what's going on.
"Olex Sharp!"
George pointed his gun at the burly man and sneered, "Seven years ago, he burned down a slave ship in Sabaody Archipelago, causing a large number of slaves to escape and earning him the title of 'Flamebreaker.' But in reality, he was just an unknown small-time pirate back then, with no strength, no fame, and no guts. Sharp! What should you call me!"
Sharp was silent for a moment, then looked up at George and slowly said, "Captain George..."
"That's right! I'm your captain! We drank the sworn brotherhood wine together! I was your captain then, and I'll be your captain for life!"
George shouted, "After all these years, you're not going to say you've forgotten the oath you swore to mingle with these slaves, are you?!"
“Captain, I didn’t! I will always remember my oath!” Sharp said urgently.
"Yes, that should be it."
George put away his gun and said to Sharp, "Then use your 'heroic' qualities to make these people give up resistance and come with us. Once you've done this, I'll allow you to get back on the ship."
"Wait, Captain George!"
Sharp exclaimed urgently, "Didn't you promise that you'd let me board the ship after I gathered them? Why did you ask them to give up resistance? Why did you capture them?!"
"Are you kidding me, Sharp?"
George said, "You used to be so stupid, how come you haven't improved at all? Behind me are Celestial Dragons, and Lord Moro. The ship you burned seven years ago belonged to him. It's already merciful that he's shown you any leniency. Our purpose here is to capture slaves. Only in this way can they let us leave the navy's encirclement!"
“You’ve already shouted it out, so let’s try again. These people will listen to you, and I don’t want to shed blood. After all, these are all precious ‘assets’.”
"Lord Sharp..."
Soros stared blankly at Sharp. "Is what he said true? You...you lied to us?"
Sharp closed his eyes in anguish, memories flooding his mind...
...
"Captain, when will I become as famous as you?!"
Inside the tavern, a drunken Sharp asked George a question.
His captain, George, is a pirate with a bounty of 28 million. Although that's nothing on the Grand Line, he's a celebrity to those of them who don't have bounties.
"Become famous? Ha!"
George downed the wine in his wooden cup in one gulp, then let out a burp. "It's simple. See those big ships on the coast? Those are slave ships. If you can destroy them, you'll become famous, and then the World Government will put a bounty on your head!"
"They might even surpass me, right, guys!"
"oh!!!"
Inside the tavern, the pirates raised their glasses and shouted loudly.
"Haha, forget it, Sharp, just follow the captain."
A pirate staggered over, patted Sharp on the shoulder, and said, "You're such a coward, how could you do something like this? Hahahaha."
"Who says I wouldn't dare!"
Sharp's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists. "As a pirate, you're free to do whatever you want. Just you wait!"
With that, he put down his wine glass and ran out of the tavern.
"Hey Sharp, watch out, don't fall, hahaha!"
Loud laughter erupted inside the tavern.
...
Flames engulfed almost the entire Sabaody Archipelago.
In the dead of night, several large ships docked in the harbor were set ablaze with fire.
On the shore, Sharp held a torch that was still burning. A gust of wind startled him, and he sobered up completely.
...
"Hey, Sharp, you've got a bounty on your head! 'Explosive Flame Master' Orex Sharp, bounty 130 million Berries! The World Government wants you dead!"
"We've overtaken the captain! We've overtaken the captain!"
"Captain George, Sharp really succeeded!"
On a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean, a group of pirates were shouting and yelling.
No one noticed that their usually cheerful and respected Captain George had a terribly gloomy expression.
