Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

"You are so rich."

A moment later, on Remos's boat, Nami watched him counting the money one by one, her eyes full of envy.

"Of course, I paid for this with my life."

Remos dipped his finger in some saliva and said without raising his head.

"It seems like everyone is exchanging their lives for money..."

Nami muttered softly when she heard this. In fact, when it comes to exchanging life for money, she is more qualified to say this than Remos.

She looked at Remos' serious expression, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Um, are you really going to help me?"

"Of course, I keep my word. Why? You don't trust me? You believe that Aaron will let you go, but you don't believe that I will help you? After all, a bounty hunter like me is more trustworthy than a pirate, right?"

This was the third time Nami asked him this question in this short period of time.

If it were someone else, Remos would have lost his patience long ago.

I've said so much to help you, just get out of here now, I don't want to help you anymore!

But if it was Nami, he would have infinite patience. Not to mention three times, even if it was thirty or three hundred times, he would answer well.

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm just... I'm just worried that you'll be in danger. Aaron is very strong, I'm afraid you're no match for him..."

Nami whispered.

In the limited dozen years of her life, the only people who showed kindness to her were Bellmère and Nochigo, and the other villagers of Kokoasi Village, no outsiders.

Of course, Nami never left Kokoasi Village in the first ten years of her life.

After Bell-mère's death, she joined the Arlong Pirates, where the fishmen had nothing but endless hostility towards her.

Later, she went out alone to make money. Since her targets were basically pirate groups, it was basically impossible for her to feel kindness from others.

Remos was the first outsider who expressed kindness to her and clearly wanted to help her, which left a deep impression on Nami. She hoped that Remos could really defeat Arlong and save her and Kokoyasi Village, but she was also worried that Remos was no match for Arlong and would be killed by him.

She didn't want this kindness to turn into a shooting star in the sky, brilliant but short-lived.

"Oh, you are worried about my safety."

Remos stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and looked at Nami with a smile.

Nami's face suddenly turned red.

"I, I'm just afraid that you'll die..."

"I understand, I understand, don't worry, I'm stronger than you think."

Remos smiled and put the sorted bills into the cabinet.

"If it was a few days ago, I would still invite you to be my partner, but I'm afraid I can't help you right away. But now it's different. Aaron is nothing."

The main reason is still from the illusion fruit.

After several days of continuous trials and verifications, Remos has become convinced that the power of the Illusion Fruit is far more powerful than he had imagined. He just needs more time to develop it and tap into the fruit's true potential.

For now, Remos' development of the ability of the fruit is still very rudimentary, and he still has a long way to go.

But it is definitely enough to deal with Arlong and the Arlong Pirates.

After all, among the Arlong Pirates, only Arlong's bounty reached 900. The other members, Krobi's, 550 million, Ju's, million, and then there are a group of fishmen who don't even deserve the bounty.

If Remos can't even deal with stuff like this, then he can forget about going to the Grand Line.

He must fight this battle and he must win. Maybe after defeating the Arlong Pirates, his destiny will be further improved?

Remus was looking forward to it.

After hearing what Remos said, Nami finally stopped talking. She huddled in a corner of the cabin, wearing a cloak, and stared at Remos' profile in a daze.

"By the way, do you know where there's a good gunsmith? My gun was destroyed in the previous battle, and I plan to buy two new guns."

Remus suddenly asked.

He bought these two guns from an ordinary weapons store in his small town when he first started working as a bounty hunter. The quality was just average. At that time, Remos didn't have much money and was in urgent need of weapons, so he just bought a pair that he liked.

Later, when he had more money, the gun was still easy to use, so he never thought about replacing it.

This time was an opportunity, and he planned to choose two weapons of better quality for himself.

It’s a pity that guns are different from knives. There are countless famous knives in this world, but there seem to be no famous guns. Even the guns in the hands of those top powerhouses are not famous themselves.

At most, the gun itself is special, such as the Qianlu in Wang Oga's hand, which Remos likes very much.

"Gunsmith? I don't know about that either. How about going to Rogue Town to have a look?"

Obviously, Nami usually didn't pay much attention to this kind of information. She was stunned by Remos's question and looked a little silly, which was so cute.

"I don't mind. Are you okay with that? Aaron won't cause trouble for the villagers after not going back for so long, right?"

Remus inquired.

"No, he still hopes to threaten me with Nojigo and others. If he really attacks them, I will definitely not go back, and I will do everything I can to take revenge on him!"

Nami's expression quickly turned cold when she mentioned Arlong.

At this moment, she has calmed down. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was so stupid before. She actually believed Aaron's lies and thought that if she saved up 100 million Baileys, the other party would let the village go.

Of course, this is also because Nami had no choice. She didn't know any strong people on the sea, nor did she trust the navy. Moreover, she was only ten years old when she joined the Arlong Pirates.

What could a ten-year-old girl understand? The fact that she has been able to grow up strong enough in that environment is a miracle in itself.

Remus nodded upon hearing this.

"As long as you have no problem with that, then let's go to Rogue Town first, buy some weapons, and then go settle the score with Aaron."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the cabin, untied the rope, let the boat sail away from the port, then controlled the sail and headed towards Rogue Town.

As for Nami, of course she acted with Remos. Her small wooden boat would be left here. It couldn't be lost anyway. The worst that could happen was that she would just have to pay some more management fees to the port later.

There was no conversation along the way, and a few days later, the two arrived at Rogue Town.

Before buying a gun, Remos decided to buy some clothes for Nami first.

"This is not necessary, right? I think it's good like this..."

Nami looked down at her clothes. OK, they were a little dirty and tacky, but they were really comfortable to wear and there seemed no need to change them.
