Looking at the Navy soldiers and World Government agents surrounding him, Charlotte furrowed his brow.
How could it be these people!
"Xia! Charlotte!"
After seeing Charlotte's face, the people surrounding him stammered out his name.
Charlotte ignored them. With a casual swipe of his Seven - Star Sword, the Navy soldiers and World Government agents surrounding him all fell dead.
"Run!"
Seeing this, the remaining people scattered in all directions. They wouldn't confront Charlotte head - on!
Most of these Navy soldiers and World Government agents who had come here to take shelter were cowards. Otherwise, they would have fought to the death with the pirates brought by Rocks at the port.
Charlotte ignored their scattering. Through his Observation Haki perception, there were still many people below the hillside!
After jumping down the hillside, sure enough, he saw a group of ragged people huddled together, looking at Charlotte approaching step by step in fear.
Looking at them, Charlotte didn't have any other thoughts in his heart.
After all, he had seen this kind of scene too many times!
His heart had grown numb.
"Those of you who want to leave, follow me. This island is about to sink. You'll die if you stay. Follow me if you want to leave!"
Charlotte said to these nearly five hundred slaves.
He didn't expect there to be so many slaves.
These Celestial Dragons really knew how to have fun. They actually brought so many people when they went out.
Including the more than a hundred slaves on the ship, there were probably more than six hundred slaves.
And it seemed that not many Celestial Dragons had come here! As far as Charlotte could see, there were only about forty Celestial Dragons.
Among these forty Celestial Dragons, there were more than a dozen old ones.
They actually brought more than six hundred slaves.
Charlotte didn't know that there had been another forty or so Celestial Dragons previously.
After Charlotte finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Those who heard Charlotte's words looked at each other in astonishment.
But there were also some slaves who knew Charlotte and his reputation. They followed Charlotte one by one.
Seeing these slaves follow, the other slaves also followed.
Those slaves who were still wavering also followed after seeing so many slaves following that man.
As a result, all these more than five hundred slaves followed Charlotte. They walked in a grand procession along the port towards the pirate ships.
The vibrations under their feet became increasingly frequent. It was estimated that the island would sink within an hour.
Then the countdown to Rocks' demise had also begun.
"Jiehahahahaha! Charlotte is off to rescue the slaves again!"
Shiki floated over from somewhere and said to Charlotte while hovering in mid - air.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen pirate ships hovering in the air, carrying thousands of pirates.
"Yeah! Just saved them on the way here!"
Charlotte nodded.
"What do you want, Shiki?"
Seeing Shiki suddenly appear, Charlotte asked in confusion.
He didn't think Shiki had come just to greet him.
"Jiehahahahaha! I'm here to invite you. Join me and become the first mate of the Flying Pirates!"
Shiki floated in the air and reached out his hand to Charlotte.
Hearing this, Charlotte frowned.
"Didn't I say? I won't join anyone, not in any aspect. I have my own path to follow!"
Charlotte replied, refusing.
"Oh? Your path! Is it to travel around the world with your slaves? Don't be joking. With your strength, would you do such a boring thing? Become the first mate of the Flying Pirates. Let's dominate the world together. You hate slaves, right! I can abolish all slavery for you!"
Shiki's golden hair fluttered as he looked at Charlotte and said.
After hearing this, Charlotte silently summoned the Seven - Star Sword.
"I don't want to say it a second time!"
Charlotte looked at Shiki.
In an instant, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly froze.
Shiki floated in the air, crossing his arms and looking at Charlotte expressionlessly.
Neither of them spoke.
Shiki stared closely into Charlotte's eyes.
And Charlotte stared back without showing any weakness.
All the pirates behind Shiki placed their hands on their weapons.
They were just waiting for Shiki to give the order.
"Jiehahaha! Charlotte! I always thought we hit it off the best. In the Rocks Pirates, you were the only one I could talk to. I didn't expect that we would part ways here. Well, since you have your own dreams, I won't force you anymore. But after today, I hope you don't stand in my way, or I won't show any mercy."
Shiki waved his hand as he looked at Charlotte.
"Let's go!"
Shiki turned around and flew back to the bow of his ship. He turned the fleet around and flew towards the distance.
Watching the Flying Fleet gradually disappearing in the distance, Charlotte let out a sigh.
Then he let out a rueful laugh.
He didn't expect Shiki to have such thoughts about him.
Would Shiki pester him like he did with Roger in the future?
Just thinking about it gave Charlotte a headache.
"Let's go!"
Charlotte also waved his hand at the people behind him and walked towards the Celestial Dragons' fleet.
"The captain is back!"
"The captain is back!"
Seeing a large group of people in the distance with Charlotte at the head, the slaves waiting on the ship shouted.
"Captain? Interesting!"
Hearing them call him captain, an inexplicable look appeared on Charlotte's face.
From now on, these people would be his foundation.
Although most of them looked extremely thin, this was due to malnutrition.
Being able to survive under the Celestial Dragons despite malnutrition meant they basically had good constitutions.
Moreover, there were many gladiators among them. These people all had remarkable strength. Otherwise, they wouldn't have become the Celestial Dragons' gladiators.
There were also different races. For example, Charlotte saw two slaves of the giant race.
Charlotte looked at the two giants standing on a ship. They were estimated to be eighteen meters tall.
Obviously, they were adult giants. He just didn't know why they had been captured as slaves.
There were also fish - men, mermaids, snake - headed race, long - armed race, and several three - eyed race girls.
There was a wide variety of them.
It was obvious that one ship couldn't hold so many people.
But fortunately, there were many ships parked by the shore.
Charlotte specifically targeted the naval warships.
"Those who can sail a ship, stand up!"
Charlotte jumped onto the ship and looked at the more than five hundred people at the port.
After Charlotte's words got around, instantly, at least seventy more slaves stepped forward.
"Alright! Form groups of ten. Den the nearby warships and follow this one. The rest of you, den these ships!"
Although Charlotte gave a reasonable order, there was still a moment of chaos at the port. Charlotte frowned in annoyance.
"Go down and maintain order. Arrange seventy or eighty people on each ship! Don't crowd in one place!"
Charlotte said to the middle - aged man beside her. These people were all Take weapons and had a certain degree of deterrence.
"Aye, Captain!"
After the middle - aged man received Charlotte's instructions, he immediately excitedly led more than forty of his subordinates down to maintain order.
