Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

After determining the next direction of action, the three of them did not delay any further and went straight back to the Pioneer and headed north.

The Clayfors Islands are located in the north-center of the South China Sea, not too far from the doldrums. Further north, there are only a dozen islands distributed close to the doldrums.

They had come from that direction and now were turning back.

Because there was no clear target, the Pioneer could only start from the west and search one island after another.

Every time we arrive at a new island, one person will stay on the boat to guard it, while the other two will go off the boat to inquire.

Their goal was clear: to ask the locals whether there had been any special circumstances on the island that night twelve years ago.

However, they asked questions as they walked, and after ten days and visiting eight islands, they did not get any useful information.

"There are not many islands left. If we go any further, we will be out of the scope of the north."

On the Pioneer, Nami stared at the nautical chart and frowned.

"Eat something. It doesn't matter if you can't find anything."

Mei brought the food and said softly.

She had seen Remos and Nami's efforts these days. Because of her small request, Remos and Nami had not had a good night's sleep these days. Every day they were either traveling, analyzing nautical charts, or trying to find some clues from the various information provided by the islanders.

After a few days, the two looked much more haggard. Mei felt distressed and blamed herself. She even wondered if she should not have brought up this matter in the first place.

If you don't say anything at the beginning, there won't be so much trouble later.

"Thank you... If we can't find it in the end, there's nothing we can do about it, but it's not time to give up yet. We still have three islands to find."

"In fact, when the Den Den Mushi said north, it didn't necessarily mean exactly north. It could have been slightly off the north. And even if they really went all the way north, we can't rule out the possibility that they turned to other places later..."

Remos said with a frown, but before he could finish his words, he couldn't continue.

If it is really as he said, then this search trip can be declared a failure, because it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. When they visited the third-to-last island, they finally made a new discovery.

"Remos, look at the people on this island, their faces are so scary!"

On the dock, Nami whispered as she looked at the villagers below.

These people have patches of scar-like things on their skin, not only on their faces, but also on all exposed skin.

If it happens to one or two people it can be considered a coincidence, but if it happens to everyone it is not normal.

It looks like the aftereffects of some plague that has been cured.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Don't get off the boat. I'll go down and take a look."

Remus said.

"No, this is too dangerous!"

Nami's face changed, and she said hurriedly, "We are not sure what the situation is down there, you can't take risks casually."

"Yes, why don't we ask on the boat..."

Mei also chimed in.

She felt really bad for bothering Remos and Nami to go with her. If something really happened to Remos... she didn't know if she had the courage to face them.

"Don't worry, it's not that scary. Even if there is a problem, I can move the fastest and find a doctor as soon as possible."

Remus said with a smile.

It's a pity that he did not open the path of abundance. Otherwise, with his understanding of destiny, after opening the path of abundance, his self-healing ability and ability to resist disease should have been greatly improved.

But it doesn't matter even if he doesn't have abundant power. If he really gets sick accidentally, he can also transform into an element and fly to the Drum Kingdom to find Chopper for treatment, or he can go directly to the navy.

This is the unique advantage of the Thunder Fruit. When it comes to long-distance travel, even the Sparkling Fruit may not be able to compare with the Thunder Fruit.

When Nami and Mei were about to say something, Remos had already flashed and landed on the dock, with a dazzling flash of lightning, scaring the surrounding workers.

The result was that the subsequent questioning process went extremely smoothly. The villagers knew at a glance that Remos was very powerful, and no one wanted to anger such a strong man, so they answered all his questions.

After asking for a while, Remos went to the village further inside. About an hour later, he returned to the boat.

"How about it?"

Nami and Mei gathered around them immediately, not looking worried at all about being infected.

"After asking, I found out that the scars on the villagers' bodies are indeed the sequelae of the disease. But don't worry, this disease cannot be transmitted through the air or contact. It can only be spread among blood relatives.

This infectious disease started appearing twelve years ago, which is exactly the same as the time of Star Island. "

Remus said with an excited expression.

At this point, he could already confirm that the situation on this island was a continuation of the Starry Island.

"What else? Any clues about Mei's father?"

"Have."

Remus nodded and turned to look at May.

"I asked the elders in the village, and they told me that on that night twelve years ago, a green light first fell into the depths of the island, then three people came to the island from the seaside, and soon a large area of ​​green fog appeared on the island, and then the villagers fell ill one after another.

They didn't know what had happened exactly. They only knew that the green fog dissipated and a man walked out from the depths of the island. He warned the villagers not to go into the depths of the island, and then the man died.

The villagers took his warning to heart and have not entered the depths of the island until today. However, there is one exception: a young man who has been living in the mountains, but he rarely communicates with the villagers. The villagers don’t know who he is or how he appeared on the island.

Remos told them what he had gained in the past hour, and Nami and Mei looked at each other.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go up quickly!"

Nami said eagerly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei pulled his sleeve.

"I thought about it, and decided to just forget it."

Mei shook her head and whispered.

"Why? We have found this place..."

Nami was very confused.

Remus said nothing, just looked at Mei.

Mei lowered her head.

"It's too dangerous. Although I want to find my father's remains, I don't want you to be in danger. If the price of finding my father is to get you hurt, then I would rather never find him."

Although Mei's voice was soft, her tone was firm.

Remos and Nami looked at each other, and finally Remos stood up.
