This week’s chapter begins with Barbarossa again asking Sinbad if he would become friends with him. Sinbad seems caught off guard by this sudden proposal and the scene then changes to a river with the two of them fishing.

Barbarossa skillfully catches a fish and then praises Sinbad, saying that he could catch it by following Sinbad’s advice. Sinbad however, is completely zoned out and after receiving no response, Barbarossa calls out to him a few times and asks if he’s listening. He then holds up his fish, playfully telling Sinbad that they can’t deepen their friendship if he continues to make that face, and then tells him to come teach him how to fish some more. But as Barbarossa stares at him in anticipation, Sinbad wonders to himself what’s going on and what’s up with Barbarossa. He thinks about how they first went horseback riding and now they are fishing. Barbarossa asks him what’s wrong and mentions that they are fishing because Sinbad wasn’t good and riding horses; however, he doesn’t seem to be having fun. He then looks at the basket full of fish beside Sinbad and comments on his skill, saying that he would expect no less from him. Sinbad responds that it’s because he is a fisherman and begins to say something else. Barbarossa quickly asks about what he was going to say and Sinbad tells him that he’s not “discontent”, but points out that they are fishing in a river and then says that it’s much different from fishing in the sea. Barbarossa asks if there’s a difference, to which Sinbad replies that the two are completely different. He explains that the fish found in rivers are smaller, there are more of them and that they thrive more in shallow waters. He then explains that unlike river fish, sea fish don’t just bite if you drop your fishing line and that to catch them, you must read their movements.

He says that you must read the waves and act before they do, which is what sailors do to catch their fish. He continues to say that fishing in the sea is much more amazing and mentions that, occasionally, you are up against a horde of thousands, and the joy that comes from catching them is on a whole different level than catching river fish. He then begins to reminisce and say how he always used to give fish away to the villagers when he caught a lot, but then apologizes to Barbarossa for rambling, saying that his story has nothing to do with what they are doing. But Barbarossa just laughs and says that he doesn’t mind, and in fact, he would like to hear more. He tells Sinbad that he was born in the capital and doesn’t know much about other places, so he is actually quite interested in stories about these unfamiliar places. He then adds that, as he’s said before, he is also interested in Sinbad and isn’t it only natural that he would like to know more about his friend’s hometown. Barbarossa ends his statement in a very loud exclamation, which surprises Sinbad. But he smiles and tells Barbarossa that he is from a small fishing village called Tison. Sinbad then beings to tell Barbarossa about his hometown, his family, his father and himself. (T/N: Seriously… This might be one of the cutest parts of the series thus far. Sorry I’m fujoshi trash… )

After listening to his story, Barbarossa seems to have gained a better understanding of him and asks if that is why he decided to enter the dungeon. Sinbad confirms this and Barbarossa mentions that the rest of his story should go per his “Tales of Adventure”. Sinbad then tells Barbarossa of his goal to change their corrupt world and in order to do that, he’s traveled around the world to gain friends and power. He then addresses Barbarossa, saying that since he is no longer a military man, he should have no more obligation to protect he country, however, he still created his political party to change his country and asks him why he did it. He asks if it’s because Parthevia is his homeland, or if he has some other reason. He says that he cannot see what Barbarossa’s goal is and if wants to become closer friends just as he said, he needs to give an answer. Barbarossa then smirks and tells Sinbad that he only has one goal, which is to let Parthevia and its people be known to the world.

Sinbad asks if that is patriotism, which Barbarossa denies. He says that, just as Sinbad said earlier, he wants to get rid of unfairness in the world. He explains that the Parthevians are the most superior race in the world and are not to be treated as unfairly as they are now. So, he needs to provide evidence of their superiority to the world. He then goes on to explain that he had received an education as a military soldier from a young age and served in the royal palace. He says that because of this, he had seen first-hand the corruption amongst the aristocratic bureaucrats. He goes on to explain that the bureaucracy and military became very close and because the royal palace did not fulfill its duties, many Parthevians were sacrificed. Barbarossa suddenly becomes angry and says how foolish it was for this the people of this excellent and proud race to have died like that. He then says that he didn’t put up with it and in order to change it, he changed the country’s system. He adds that he must also go and change their recognition in the world. He also compares his goal with Sinbad’s, saying that they are fighting against the same atrocities and both wish to change it, as fellow Parthevians.

Sinbad then speaks up and says that he has a different view of things. He explains that while he is a Parthevian, he does not believe that Parthevian’s are a superior race. He tells him of the diversity within his company, saying that they are all excellent and that he doesn’t think they are at all “inferior”. He also tells him that he is wrong in assuming he was able to come all this way because just because he is a “parthevian”, but instead, it’s because of he is “himself”. He then says that while he does want to save Parthevia and its people, his way of thinking is very different from Barbarossa’s.

Barbarossa once again smirks and says that his successes up until now were accomplished precisely because of his accomplishments and asks if that is Sinbad’s answer. Barbarossa then replies by saying that wasn’t it still him, a Parthevian, who gathered together those various races and led them. This response shocks Sinbad and Barbarossa goes on to say that this is even more evidence to prove how special they are and that they are a race that will stand at the peak of humanity and lead the world!!

And that about does it for this chapter. I am really interested to see how this will play out since according to Barbarossa’s logic, Sinbad will be aiding him in his goals just by continuing to succeed and achieve his own goals. Barbarossa is a very dangerous man indeed… but at least he doesn’t seem to be hostile towards Sinbad in any way. And I’m sorry, but their bonding time at the beginning was too adorable. lol
