Chapter 34: Do it with ease

Atlantis surrounded the entire dock. As the largest dock in Astapor, it was spacious enough to facilitate the transportation of goods.

This time, Newgate brought a total of five hundred Unsullied and one thousand sailors, plus the people in Jack's hands, it was enough to transport the goods.

Kaido led five hundred Unsullied to quickly control the entire dock. Many businessmen and slave owners who were preparing to flee were all detained, and their property was naturally confiscated.

Just when Newgate was controlling the dock and preparing to pick up Jack, Jack had already arrived at the fifth pyramid.

After many plunders, Jack discovered that the wealth gap between the benefactors was also very huge, and until now there was no benefactor who could catch up with half of Krasnys' wealth.

At this time, Daenerys had led her 9,000 Unsullied to liberate slaves along the way.

Her goal is also the wealth of the good lords, but what Dany needs more at the moment is food and grass, and gold and silver are secondary.

At this time, Jack had confiscated nearly four million gold royals worth of rare treasures. Looking at the fully loaded carriage, Jack was ready to call it a day. He had already cleared out the largest pyramids of the good lords, so he would let Daenerys search the remaining pyramids slowly, as they were no longer able to hold any more.

Soon Daenerys met Jack. Looking at the truck full of wealth, Daenerys did not envy him, but went up to ask Jack what his next plan was.

"Where are you going to develop next? Become a pirate? Or build a powerful mercenary group?" Daenerys looked at Jack with burning eyes.

"Establish a maritime power, Atlantis, and you can call me the King of the Sea from now on." Jack did not hide his ultimate goal. Now that he has established a firm foothold, he no longer has to worry about being surrounded and suppressed.

Daenerys was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Would you like to join my royal council? I can give you the position of King's Hand and Admiral of the Navy, and you don't need to contribute anything, just give me some advice at critical moments."

Danny's words reminded Jack of a position. Isn't this just an honorary consultant?

Usually, they don't do anything, but provide guidance in some key areas, and then get paid a lot of money.

Jack touched his chin and did not reject Daenerys immediately. "What can you give me in return? If I join your royal council, Atlantis will be the enemy of the entire Slaver's Bay."

"This..." Dany was speechless for a moment, because she had never considered what Jack said. Next, she would face hostility from the entire Slave Bay. If Jack joined her royal meeting, he would most likely be listed as an enemy.

"If you can gain a foothold in Slaver's Bay, I might consider coming to help you, but definitely not now. It depends on whether your situation is worth my investment."

After hearing what Jack said, Daenerys temporarily gave up the idea of ​​winning him over. Jack was right. If he had no investment value, there would be no need for Jack to take the risk of standing on the same side.

After the two teams avoided each other, Jack successfully arrived at the dock with a lot of spoils.

Newgate had been waiting for a long time. The moment he saw Jack, he hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Just call me Captain. You are an old man now, there is no need to be so formal." Jack said with a smile.

Newgate quickly corrected him, "Your Majesty, you are now a great man with 8,000 soldiers and hundreds of ships. It is inappropriate to call you captain anymore."

"Hahaha, then it's up to you." Jack really likes the feeling of being flattered. Since someone is willing to flatter him, he is naturally very happy to cooperate.

"How is the construction of the Seychelles Islands going now?" He has not left Astapor in the past few months and has no idea what the Seychelles Islands are like.

"It's a precious piece of land. In addition to the giant island in the middle of the Seychelles, there are five small islands surrounding it. We can build a city on the central island and small towns on the periphery."

Speaking of the Seychelles Islands, I am very satisfied with Newgate. I thought the environment on the island would be harsh, but the soil is fertile and the climate has basically no disadvantages except that it is rainy.

Jack ordered his men to move all the looted items onto the boat, and then led his large army towards the Seychelles Islands.

Inside the cabin, Newgate, Kaido and Jack were eating.

"Your Majesty, the entire Seychelles archipelago is very large, roughly estimated to be around 20,000 square kilometers. Our people have only built a camp in the northern part of the island and have not yet explored it in depth."

Jack poured himself a glass of wine and then asked, "How many species are there on the island? If there are many species, it means that the Seychelles are still excellent islands."

"There are quite a lot of species. There are no humans on the island, but there are a large number of black leaf monkeys, which are very annoying. If we don't eliminate the black leaf monkeys, I'm afraid we won't be able to grow anything."

The black leaf monkey was named by Newgate. It is a monkey with a charred black body, curly hair and a leaf-like green mark on its forehead.

The number of black leaf monkeys is astonishing. From time to time, they will even form groups to attack Unsullied patrol teams. Although they are not a threat, it is very uncomfortable to be covered in rotten fruit peels and feces.

Then Newgate told Jack about the situation of the black leaf monkey in detail. Jack waved his hand, indicating that Newgate didn't need to worry too much.

Humans are an absolute invasive species wherever they go. Once Jack transfers a large population to the island, the black leaf monkeys on the island will slowly become extinct due to the complete deforestation of their habitats. There will even be no need to specifically hunt the black leaf monkeys.

"Your Majesty, where do you plan to migrate these people from?"

There are not many places where people can be migrated at present. The best one is Slave Bay, but there are no slaves in Slave Bay now.

"Of course it's from Slave Bay, especially the Laza people. They are gentle and good at planting, and they form the best large base population." Jack said without hesitation.

"But Slave's Bay has now been liberated by Daenerys Targaryen. How can we still buy slaves?" Kaido was a little puzzled.

Kaido doesn't understand this very well. He is proficient in commanding the Unsullied in combat, but he is only proficient in commanding the Unsullied in combat.

"Daenerys talks about liberating Slaver's Bay, but we're still a long way from that.

There are three cities in Slaver's Bay, and now only Astapor has been liberated, but Meereen and Yunkai have not yet been liberated. She does not have enough management talents and cannot rule Slaver's Bay stably.

How can the slavery system in Slaver Bay, which has existed for hundreds of years, be easily eradicated? Moreover, the entire continent of Essos is accustomed to slavery. Isn't the prosperity of the nine major trading cities built on the bones of slaves? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Newgate suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Jack, "Your Majesty, I beg you, if you have the strength to spare, please help us slaves!"

What Jack didn't expect was that Kaido also knelt down, the meaning was self-evident.

Jack was very pleased to see this, this is good, only when one has his own ideas and pursuits can he be a complete person. Jack is not afraid that his subordinates have too many thoughts, but he is afraid that they will be numb and boring like dead fish.

"Get up, you are no longer slaves. As for slavery, you don't have to worry too much. It's just a small slavery. You can just swing Daenerys's sword slightly."

Newgate looked up at Jack who was pouring wine for him. The confidence and dominance in his eyes shook his heart. For a moment, Newgate felt that Jack was really the omnipotent sea god.

Dongdongdong——

Newgate kowtowed three times in a row. "Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of all the slaves in Essos!"

Old man Newgate had been a slave all his life, so it goes without saying that he hated slavery.

For Jack, destroying slavery did not require much effort or personal effort.

He only needs to give Daenerys some advice and let her work hard, and he can even get a lot of benefits from it.
