Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

In the South China Sea, at the 82nd Naval Branch, the naval colonel stationed here shook Remos' hand with a smile on his face.

"Thank you so much for helping us solve a big problem."

"This is what we should do, and we will get money if we catch him. How could I miss such a good thing?"

Remus said with a smile.

"This is different. Although we have been increasing the bounty on Kidd and his gang, there are too few people who are willing and capable of catching them. We... are really powerless."

Having said that, a trace of guilt appeared on the captain's face.

As a navy officer, he should have protected the tranquility of the surrounding waters and ensured that passing merchant ships would not be attacked by pirates. Unfortunately, his own strength was limited, or the strength of all navy branches was very limited. They could deal with ordinary small pirates, but they really had no way to deal with pirates of Kidd's level.

"Anyway, thank you no matter what. I have already had the bounty prepared and you can claim it anytime."

Kidd, together with Killer, and his entire pirate group, brought Remos a bounty of tens of millions, which is really not a small amount.

If this happened in the East China Sea, even a pirate group like Arlong would have to wipe out two or three in one go.

The East China Sea deserves the title of the weakest sea.

But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense that the East China Sea is weak. There is Garp outside the East China Sea who refreshes irregularly, and there is Smoker, a natural-type resident inside. It simply does not have the soil for a large pirate group to grow.

The other three sea areas do not receive such treatment.

Rather than saying that the East China Sea is the weakest sea, it is better to say that the East China Sea is actually the strongest sea that is completely locked down. After all, even the Pirate King Roger was born in the East China Sea. It is not unreasonable for the World Government and the Navy to strictly guard the East China Sea.

After collecting the bounty and asking for a complete nautical chart of the South China Sea, Remos took Nami and Mei out of the naval port and headed for the Starry Island that Mei mentioned.

"Its current name is the Cleves Islands. Because it has hundreds of islands of varying sizes, like stars in the sky, it was called the Starry Islands in the past..."

That's what the naval captain told him.

He had received a simplified map from Kidd before, but he had not been able to find the so-called Starry Island after searching for a long time. It was not until he asked the naval captain that he told him that this name had been used by no one for ten years.

Now the locals have built countless bridges between the islands, connecting the archipelago into one.

"Okay, the next target is the Cleves Islands!"

Nami waved her fist and immediately adjusted the direction of the bow, heading straight for the destination.

With the nautical chart, the subsequent voyage was much smoother.

After sinking three small pirate groups that had no reputation, no bounty, and no experts, the Pioneer took three days to arrive at the Cleves Islands.

It is now the third largest trade transit point in the South China Sea and the number one island of craftsmen.

In fact, the most famous things in the entire South China Sea are their machinery and craftsmen.

This can also be seen from the celebrities who came from the South China Sea.

For example, Franky of Water 7 was born in the South Sea. When he was young, he followed his parents into the Grand Line and was abandoned in Water 7. He actually did not receive much education in the South Sea, but his talent gradually emerged as he grew up, and he became one of the world's top shipbuilders.

In addition, Lindbergh, the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Southern Army, was also born in the South China Sea.

In the first half of the Grand Line, King Walpo of the Drum Kingdom was also from the South Sea.

And Vegapunk, the world's most famous scientist on the ocean, is also from the South China Sea.

Add to that Kidd who was captured not long ago, and it can be seen that the South China Sea is a sea area for cultivating scientific talents and craftsmen.

“This island is so beautiful!”

Because Remos and his friends arrived at midnight, they saw the night view of Clevos Island - a beautiful scene with bright lights and neon lights.

This is still rarely seen in this world. Generally, small islands can only rely on torches or simple street lights for lighting at night. It is rare to use electric lighting on a large scale like Cleves Island.

This kind of scenery was nothing to Remos. He had seen night scenes that were ten thousand times more gorgeous than this before he traveled through time. But for Nami and Mei, this was already one of the most beautiful night scenes they had ever seen in their lives.

In addition, Culford Island has another name, called the Never-Sleeping Island.

The lights here will not be turned off all night long.

"Remos, Remos, look, the dock is so lively. No, this island is so lively!"

Nami flew to the mast and shouted excitedly as she looked at the scenery in the distance.

"I know, I know. Be careful not to fall. We'll be reaching the shore soon. You can look around however you want. Can you come down now?"

Remos, who was controlling the Pioneer, shouted helplessly.

Unfortunately, Nami ignored him. She was almost going crazy at this moment and wished she could turn into a cloud and fly over.

The Pioneer finally docked, and Nami dragged Mei down. Remos couldn't stop them no matter how hard he tried. Finally, he had no choice but to communicate with the dock manager alone to discuss the specific length of stay, payment of management fees, etc.

After entering Clefors Island, Remus noticed that it was more prosperous than he had imagined. The streets were full of people, and the shops on both sides of the road were all brightly lit. There were also various snack stands and souvenir stands next to them, and the hawking sounds were one after another, making it very lively.

Nami and Mei were running around here and there, having a lot of fun.

Remos also relaxed temporarily and joined the group.

The group of people gathered near the dock were watching a circus. A small circus of only five people performed various tricks among the crowd, and from time to time they made some actions that looked very thrilling, and the crowd kept exclaiming.

When they completed all the movements perfectly, everyone applauded and cheered, and then gave them money as rewards.

Going further in, there are many similar performances.

It's not all about circus, there's also dancing, singing, mechanical competitions and so on.

This mechanical competition is quite interesting. Everyone uses the robots they made to compete with each other. The one whose robot loses its combat effectiveness first is declared the loser, and the winner can get a considerable bonus.

Nami and Mei had no interest in these iron lumps. They just looked at them for a while and then continued to look at clothes and food.

Remos had no choice but to follow and act as the purse and bag carrier.

The three of them played for a long time, until midnight, when they returned to the boat with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
