38 Chapter 10 : Evil Detective Assistant, start of the investigation!

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 ships were moored there.

"You now have the ships you wanted, free St.Jackmal."

Yarisugi said 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?"

At these words Fisher tiger remained silent as if suddenly assailed by a wave of sadness, but all this was dissipated in James' next sentence.

"Yes..."

"You're my friend! Trisha and I have a way out, don't worry about us, If you really think of me as your friend, then trust me and leave!!"

Tears suddenly fell from Fisher Tiger's cheeks, he turned his back on James and walked towards the full boat whose anchor had just risen.

The ship's anchor was fully raised the ship slowly moved away from the dock under the angry eyes of the guards, James also looked at the ship while holding Jackmal in his arms.

"Goodbye, my friend."

At the same moment James suddenly felt a pat on the back.

He already knew that it was Trisha who had finished her task, so he whispered in a low voice:

"Rise the anchor of the ship and set sail..."

Then he looked at Yarisugi, who was silent.

"Well it's time to keep my promise, but first can you answer one of my questions."

"Which one?" Yarisugi asked in a cold and impatient voice as his gaze was fixed on St.Jalmack's wound.

"What is your weight and height, date of birth, your blood type and the name of a close relative, if you lie I'll know it's the capacity of my devil's fruit, , beware, if you lie to me he'll lose some fingers."

"That's enough now! You've had your ships, we didn't attack you, I've kept my side of the bargain, now free St.Jalmack!!!"

James then shook his head.

"Don't worry, it's my last request, so can you answer me."

While clenching his teeth in anger, he says:

"I'm 2m10, I weigh 210kg, I was born one May, I'm B negative,I have a cousin named Tsukagi, if you're satisfied, release him." Says Yarisugi honestly.

At that very moment James smiled, seeing this smile Yarisugi's heart do a leap, he immediately drew his sword and attacked James at full speed, he didn't know why he had done this, his body had reacted on its own without him having time to think, it was a reflex he had when he saw James' smile.

James' smile was a cold smile, with a certain meanness and unshakeable conviction, when he saw that smile, he knew that he had made a mistake in revealing his information to James, he didn't know why that thought came to his mind, was it the warrior's intuition or the effect of his weak Haki of observation? No one will ever know.

But what he did was the right decision, but it was still useless, despite his speed completely surpassing James', he was still too slow.

In front of the frightened eyes of all the soldiers, James made a sudden movement with his arms, St.Jalmack's head then detached from his body, his blood splashed on James who then kicked Jalmack's body, throwing him towards Yarisugi who also stopped stunned from the scene in front of him.

"Name, Yarisugi, Evil Detective Assistant, start of the investigation!"
