Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

The essence of the Chagos Archipelago is the world's largest mangrove - the Alchiman mangrove.

The most distinctive feature of the area is the special natural resin secreted by the roots of this mangrove tree due to respiration. The resin expands due to air to form bubbles, becoming the most important local specialty.

Locals have used bubbles to develop bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, bubble houses, and a variety of bubble items of all sizes.

Nami and Mei went on a shopping spree and couldn't fit all the items in one cart, so they hired another one.

Remos also bought some things he wanted, such as a special kind of bullet.

He designed the bullets himself and had them made by a local blacksmith shop to match his newly acquired rifle.

The three of them spent the whole day and returned to the Pioneer in the evening with three carts.

The cleaning of the Pioneer's external deck has been completed, and the cleaning of the cabin will begin tomorrow, including hull inspection and maintenance, which will take about a full week.

This period of time is just right for waiting for new bullets.

So Remos, Nami and Mei temporarily settled down in the Sabaody Archipelago.

They went out to play for the first three days, bought countless things, and went to a restaurant to enjoy local delicacies, which Nami said were not tasty at all. They went to the amusement park and rode the bubble Ferris wheel, and at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, Nami let out a series of exclamations.

Remos: →?→

Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? You are a natural ability user, is it necessary to make such a fuss about such a height?

They also went to the bar street and drank some local drinks. After drinking, Nami commented that they had no special features.

They even went to the island where the human auction was held and saw people chained like dogs waiting to be sold.

They have men, women and children, but no elderly people.

The identities of these people are very complicated. There are pirates, soldiers from small countries, capable people, various craftsmen and artists, even a princess from a country in the New World, and mermaids from the deep sea.

When Nami saw this, her expression was very calm, without any sign of anger at all.

After leaving the area, Remos asked her what she thought.

"For something like this to happen so openly here, there must be a reason behind it... Remus, can we just ignore it?"

What Nami was really afraid of was that Remos would attack in anger.

It doesn't matter if a few auctions are destroyed, but the problem is who is behind the auctions. To be able to openly trade in human beings in a place like the Sabaody Archipelago, no one would believe that there are no Celestial Dragons involved.

Nami didn't want a conflict to break out between Remos and the Celestial Dragons, she even used a pleading tone.

Remos smiled and reached out to touch Nami's head.

"Don't worry, I won't be that impulsive."

With his assurance, Nami felt obviously more at ease.

For the remaining days, they simply stopped going out and continued training on the boat. The strength of the three of them all had a lot of room for improvement, and if they wanted to face stronger opponents, they had to make themselves stronger.

The Devil Fruit is not everything, and Haki is not everything. A truly strong person must develop comprehensively and be strong in all aspects.

When it comes to three people, it's different.

Mei's swordsmanship is very powerful, but her physical fitness is average and she cannot withstand high-intensity and long-term combat. She has Observation Haki but not Armament Haki, which will be a major flaw when dealing with opponents with powerful fruit abilities.

Therefore, her most important task at present is to activate the Armament Haki, first solving the problem of whether she has it or not, and then solving the problem of whether it is strong or not.

Nami and Mei are the opposite.

The battle with Mantis Man Pierre allowed her to awaken her Armament Haki, but she was never able to possess Observation Haki, which greatly limited her perception ability.

Fortunately, she is a natural ability user and can enhance her perception through fruits, so this problem is not particularly serious at the moment.

Therefore, Nami's goal is to strengthen her armament Haki and activate her observation Haki as soon as possible. It is difficult to say which one has a higher priority, as they are basically the same.

As for Remos, he has a lot to do.

Both the Armament Haki and Observation Haki need to be strengthened, and the fruit ability must continue to be improved. Fortunately, destiny cannot be made stronger by training, otherwise he would have to focus on three aspects at the same time, and then one person would not be enough.

In addition to this, there is another task that belongs to three people at the same time, which is to eat, eat, eat and eat. Eat as much as you can and exercise hard to strengthen your body as soon as possible.

This is really difficult for Mei.

Remos and Nami are used to eating as much as they want, but Mei is different. She has never eaten like this before.

Before she met Remos and Nami, she always ate slowly and cherished every grain of food.

After getting on the boat, she was forced by the two to eat a lot more, but...

"Not enough! Not enough! Mei, eat this chicken leg! Don't spit it out, do you want to waste food?"

Remos said loudly, holding a rolling pin in his hand.

He didn't know what he was doing with a rolling pin. He couldn't possibly force it down Mei's throat when she couldn't eat anymore. Remos wasn't capable of doing anything so outrageous.

But he just felt that holding something in his hand could make him more powerful.

"Ugh... I, I really, really can't eat anymore..."

Mei covered her mouth and looked at the chicken leg that Nami placed in front of her. The chicken leg was thicker than her arm, and the food in her stomach began to rise.

But in order not to waste food, she could only swallow it hard. Then, under the stares of the two people opposite her, she picked up the chicken leg, opened her mouth and bit it hard with an attitude as if she was about to be executed.

Scenes like this have been happening almost every day recently. Mei keeps pushing her limits and now her appetite is twice as much as before.

The short-term goal is to increase it tenfold.

They practice after eating, sleep after practicing, and eat again after waking up. The lives of these three people are very fulfilling.

Just like that, a week passed quickly, Remos got his new guns and bullets, the Pioneer also finished its maintenance, and everyone finally set out again.

When they were about a hundred kilometers away from the Chabaody Archipelago, Remos suddenly came to the stern, raised his rifle, and loaded it with the newly acquired bullets.

"Remus, what are you doing?"

Nami looked at him in surprise.

"Nothing, just a little lesson for those traffickers."

He sneered and slowly pulled the trigger.

The dazzling lightning shot out, drawing an arc as long as one hundred kilometers.

Less than two seconds later, a large human auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago was pierced through by a sudden lightning strike.
