I feel that the above statement is something that everyone will agree on. So what exactly are people arguing about?
I think the answer to "is Naofumi acting morally by buying a slave" is no.
The question "is Naofumi buying a slaver justified" is a different question. It's a very standard anti-hero question.

Buying a slave, in a world where slavers aren't illegal, is actually not morally wrong. It's just a transaction. It's keeping her
as a slave, after buying her that's iffy.
With regard to the question of is him buying a slave is justified, I believe the answer is yes it is.
However if we focus on that question there's also the issue that, it's justified if he buys a "useful" one given his circumstances.
However I already provided a loophole to that.
Also I agree with your first sentence.
