Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

After saying goodbye to the old man, Remos and the other two did not return to the boat immediately. Instead, they found a deserted place and began to discuss the meaning of the four words the old man said.

"Virus... Devil Fruit... Celestial Dragons... The North... Do you think that what happened fifteen years ago was done by Celestial Dragons?"

Nami stroked her chin with an expression that said "I already know the truth". If she were given a pair of glasses and her hair was combed into a provocative look, she might really be able to find out the truth.

"But, even if they are Celestial Dragons, do they have to do this?"

Mei asked, somewhat confused.

Her understanding of the Celestial Dragons was still at the level of "the Celestial Dragons are the world's aristocrats", and she didn't know much about their brutality and evil.

"How is it impossible? Viruses, devil fruits, it's possible that a devil fruit that can create viruses appeared here, and after the Celestial Dragons knew about it, they sent people here to eat the fruit, and then used the entire island's residents to test the strength of the fruit!"

Nami raised a finger and said with a serious expression.

"Although this is something that a Celestial Dragon can do... you are exaggerating."

Remos couldn't stand it after hearing a few words and interrupted quickly.

"Then what other possibility do you think there is besides this one? Could it be that the fruit of the Celestial Dragons drifted here and was eaten by someone else?"

This is obviously impossible. How could the dragons' fruit be stolen by others? They have always been the only ones who steal others' fruit.

"It's not impossible."

However, Remus showed a thoughtful expression, "Have you heard about the slave liberation incident that happened in the Holy Land of Marijoa?"

"Slave…emancipation? What's that? I-we've never heard of it."

Nami and Mei looked at each other, both of them had confused looks. They shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had never heard of this matter.

"This incident happened exactly twelve years ago. Speaking of which, Nami, this incident has something to do with you."

Remos said as he looked at Nami.

"Is it related to me?"

Nami's eyes widened.

"To be precise, it's related to Aaron..."

Remos slowly told the story of that year.

In fact, the process is very simple. Twelve years ago, the murloc adventurer Fisher Tiger was caught by human traffickers on his last journey of his life and sold to Marijoa.

There, he was mercilessly tortured by the Celestial Dragons for three full years.

After witnessing the madness of human beings, he finally found a chance to escape from Marijoa, and after meeting Neptune and Princess Otohime, he returned to Marijoa alone.

He climbed up to the Red Earth Continent with his bare hands, caused a great disturbance in Marijoa, set fires everywhere, and took advantage of the chaos to rescue thousands of slaves of various races who were also enslaved by the Celestial Dragons.

Among them are Kerla of the Revolutionary Army, the girl nicknamed the second sister-in-law by netizens, as well as Empress Hancock and her two sisters.

This incident caused a big stir at the time. The Holy Land of Marijoa had never encountered such a thing before. The World Government and the Navy both went out and began a worldwide manhunt for Fisher Tiger.

During this process, Fisher also established his own pirate group, named the Sun Pirates.

The pirate group's logo is a sun, but it is actually a modified slave mark, because this pirate group was originally established by this group of slaves.

"Arlong was a member of the Sun Pirates. After Fisher Tiger's death, the pirate group gradually split up, with members scattered around the world. It wasn't until Jinbei, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, showed up that the situation was stabilized again.

But Aaron did not go back, but came all the way from the Grand Line to the East China Sea and came to Kekoya West Village. "

This is actually a relatively complete timeline.

Twelve years ago, Fisher Tiger caused chaos in Marijoa, and then established the Sun Pirates. He was hunted down for several years and finally died of serious injuries seven or eight years ago. Then Arlong entered the East China Sea. That year, Nami had just turned ten years old.

"So there is such a thing..."

After listening to this, Nami had a complicated expression.

She would not completely change her opinion of the murlocs because of this incident. After all, the harm that Arlong had caused her before was too great. Bellmère's death was something Nami would never forget in her life.

But she also had some admiration for Fisher Tiger. After all, he was a Celestial Dragon, and not everyone had the courage to resist him, not to mention that he succeeded in resisting. It was truly remarkable.

Mei blinked and stole a glance at Nami. She didn't know much about Nami's past because Nami had never told her before.

"So you're saying that the fruit came from Marijoa?"

Nami thought for a moment and asked.

"That's exactly what I guessed. If the fruit was discovered by the Celestial Dragons, then it would most likely be taken to Marijoa instead of being tested here on the spot..."

Because of the chaos, the fruit was lost and eaten by someone with ulterior motives, or the user of the fruit ability took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Marijoa. Both possibilities are very high.

As for Nami's guess, it is not without reason. The Celestial Dragons are completely capable of destroying an island directly.

But according to the old man, an unknown disease first broke out on the island twelve years ago, and then the navy urgently surrounded the island. A war broke out on the island, and the navy blockaded it for half a year.

If it was the Celestial Dragons causing trouble here, the Navy would definitely be present from the beginning, instead of sending out after receiving the news, and also dispatching Kuzan for support overnight.

In fact, he could ask Kuzan for more inside information about this matter. After all, Kuzan came here that year and must know more about the situation on this island than anyone else.

But Remos didn't want to do that for the time being, because he was not sure how big the secret behind this matter was. Unless he had no choice, he wanted to investigate it himself first.

As for the fruit, Remos wondered if it was the Disease-Disease Fruit, the fruit eaten by Poison Q in the Blackbeard Group. If so, the battle twelve years ago might have been a battle between Mei's father and his friends and the previous user of the Disease-Disease Fruit.

"In this way, the three words virus, devil fruit and celestial dragon are connected together. What about the word north at the end..."

"It's possible that the person with the ability didn't die at the time, but fled to the north. There are too few clues, so we must go to the north to take a look."

Remus said.

"Yes, we can go directly to the island in the north to check. If they really went there, they must have left traces..."

Nami's eyes lit up and she slammed her palm hard.
