Chapter 38 - 10: Evil Detective Assistant, start of the investigation! (1/2)
At the port, James and the slaves who had followed her were surrounded by hundreds of guards.
The harbour was quite large, covering an area of 900m, with about ten warehouses, and two large fighting sh.i.p.s were moored there.
”You now have the sh.i.p.s you wanted, free St.Jackmal.” Said Yarisugi further on.
At the same time a hundred slaves following Fisher Tiger entered the harbor under the watchful eyes of the guards and Yarisugi.
Yarisugi and the guards trying to stop them were interrupted by James.
”They're with us if you attack them, your beloved St. Jalmack may lose a few fingers.”
Yarisugi looked at James with hatred before ordering the guards to let them pass.
James, seeing Fisher Tiger, couldn't help but nod:
”Good work!”
Fisher Tiger smiled without saying a word and then looked at James.
”When do we board?”
”She hasn't come back yet, in the meantime take our friends on the left ship.”
Fihsher Tiger looked at the ship for a moment and then nodded his head.
”Let's all board the ship.”
”Who here has navigational skills?”
”Me!” shouted an old bald slave.
”Then you'll take care of the shipping.” Said Fisher Tiger, so he continued to assign a role to each of the slaves before they boarded, finally leaving only James and Fisher Tiger at the dock surrounded by guards and Yarisugi.
”Fisher Tiger, you asked me what the second boat was for, if we stay with you on one boat the guards will have time to catch up with us, because of Jackmal kidnapping act, they'll probably favour me, that Marine (Yarisugi) bastard has already secretly contacted headquarters, the Navy could be heavily involved in my search, the best thing is for you to leave now with the other slaves, Trisha and I will create a diversion while you go.”
”No, I can't abandon you, you're my partners, I...”
James looked at Fisher Tiger for a moment and then said with a smile:
”Fisher Tiger, I don't want to lie to you, at first I wanted to use you as an escape tool, I didn't consider you a partner.”
Hearing that, Fisher Tiger clutched his flippers and looked James in the eye.
”Do you still think that?”
