Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

Nami used a prank to dilute the sadness of parting.

There wasn't actually much money in the villagers' wallets. Even if they stole all of it, it would still be far less than what Nami had contributed to Kokoasi Village.

Not to mention that she had protected the villagers from A'long's harassment over the years, the money that every household received after A'long's death was not a small sum.

There is also Along Park, which is such a large building and so well constructed. It can be used at any time after a little repair.

For example, turning it into a commercial port, or building a big hotel or something, or simply renting it to a rich person as a manor, can bring considerable income to the village.

And most importantly, everyone no longer has to worry about being bullied by pirates. After this incident, the navy will definitely strengthen the management of the 16 branches and the entire East China Sea.

In the foreseeable future, Kokoani Village will probably never encounter a pirate crisis again.

"I say, do you have to count like this? It's not much money."

On the boat, Remos watched Nami carefully taking out all the money from her wallet and counting them one by one, and he couldn't help but complain.

"What do you know? This is my last possession, so of course I have to count it carefully."

Nami gave Remos a cold look and put the bills in her hand into different categories.

"All your belongings? Wait, that's not right. I remember you got a lot of money, and there's also your savings..."

"I left it all to Nokigo!"

Nami said without even looking up.

"..."

Remos looked at her profile, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Yes, Nami in the original work did the same thing. At that time, she left the 100 million Beli she had saved to the villagers.

She is indeed greedy for money, but she also truly treats money as dirt. Isn't such a contradictory character one of her important charms?

Remos thought about it, turned and walked into the cabin, and when he came out, he had a safe in his hand.

He slammed the safe in front of Nami, and the loud noise scared Nami.

"This is... a safe? What does that mean?"

Nami looked at Remos in confusion.

"From today on, you are my navigator and my most important partner. The team's assets are shared, so you will be in charge of the money from now on."

After Remos finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his original position, continuing to lean on the side of the boat, basking in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze.

Nami looked at Remos, then at the safe, and reached for the knob of the safe.

"Um, Remus..."

"Haha, don't be too touched, and don't cry. Be happy. This is a rule I set a long time ago. It's definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Remos took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a handsome smile.

"I know, but..."

"No buts, Nami. I trust you unconditionally, just like you believed I could defeat Arlong back then."

"But……"

"Don't refuse. We are a family and we won't change our minds. I will never change the decision I made!"

Remus said firmly.

Taking advantage of his pause, Nami quickly spoke.

"I understand, but you have to tell me the combination of the safe too!"

"..."

Well, you're just being too sentimental.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately Remos wore sunglasses. He pretended that Nami couldn't see his expression, cleared his throat, and said the password of the safe.

After getting the password, Nami immediately opened the safe, and then she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

The safe was filled with gold, and it was neatly arranged in gold bars. There was a small amount of cash in the corner, but Nami had simply ignored it. All she could see was the shining golden light.

"How much does this cost?"

"Not much, not much, just about 200 million, all the bounties I got from hunting pirates."

Remus explained lightly.

Of course, it's not just about the bounty. Wouldn't it be possible to get the money stolen by the pirates by destroying them? Remos naturally had no idea where the pirates had stolen the money from, so he had no way of returning it to the owner. Moreover, it was likely that the owners were no longer alive, so all the money went into his pocket.

Banknotes took up too much space and were difficult to store, so he exchanged all his money for gold.

Cabers Island has a fairly large population and its business is quite prosperous, so it is not difficult to exchange some gold.

He usually does not carry this gold with him, but keeps it at home. When he goes out, he only takes a small amount of cash for supplies.

But this time he would be gone for a long time, and he didn't know when he would be back, so he just took the gold with him.

Nami couldn't take her eyes off the gold, so she naturally threw the wallets aside.

Looking at Nami taking out the gold piece by piece and looking at it carefully, Remos smiled silently.

He actually doesn't care about money. For him, as long as he has enough money to spend, it's fine. After all, this is the world of One Piece. As long as you have the ability, what does money mean? Giving the money to Nami was also a plan he had thought of a long time ago. After all, Nami's financial management ability is really good.

In the original book, the reason why the bank was often in deficit was not because of her, but mainly because of several other incompetent guys.

So Remos gave all the funds on the ship to Nami for safekeeping. He thought it was okay. Even if the money was gone, it didn't matter. He could just go out and catch a few pirates and get more. As his strength continued to improve, the speed of making money would only get faster and faster.

Remos was thinking about something silently when he suddenly heard Nami's voice in his ears.

"Thank you."

"Ok?"

Remos thought he was hallucinating. When he looked at Nami, he found that Nami had her back to him, but the voice was clearly coming from her.

"Remos, thank you... Thank you for helping me kill Aaron, thank you for trusting me, thank you for saving my life..."

Her voice was intermittent and her body was shaking slightly.

she cried.

The sadness of parting had not completely dissipated, and now that Remos trusted her so much, Nami only felt warm in her chest and was deeply moved.

Remus smiled and changed into a more comfortable position.

"You are my companion, so I should trust you."

The sea breeze blew across the boat, taking away Nami's tears and the last bit of uneasiness in her heart.

Three days later, the boat sailed into the port of Rogue Town.

"Just leave the box there. It doesn't matter."

Looking at Nami holding the safe with difficulty, Remos was speechless.

"How can that be possible? What if it is lost?"

Nami looked around nervously, as if there were thieves everywhere ready to steal.
