Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

In fact, you are the biggest thief!

Remus thought to himself, but of course he didn't say it out loud.

If Nami wants to carry the safe, then let her carry it. Remos will definitely help. A box of gold is not light. If she carries it all the way and gets tired, she won't carry it around the world again next time.

The two soon arrived at the Rogue Town Naval Base.

When the navy soldier at the door saw them, he immediately turned around and shouted inside.

Then, many heads popped out from various places, wanting to see what the famous sea patrol ranger looked like.

"Are you all done? If you have nothing to do, go to the training ground and train!"

This situation did not last long. Soon, Smoker's loud voice rang out, and then all the heads shrank back in an instant.

Smoker brought Tashigi to the gate of the base, still holding a cigar in his mouth.

"You're a little slow, aren't you? I've been waiting for you for days, what on earth have you been doing?"

Smoker looked Remus up and down, his eyes full of confusion.

"Nothing, just resting at home for a few days."

Remus said with a smile.

"Rest? It's a waste of time. You might as well use this little time to practice."

Smoker snorted, a little dissatisfied with Remos giving him a day off.

Of course, he did not say this out of envy. As the highest commander of the Rogue Town Naval Base, his daily life was also very free. As long as he did not have to participate in any operations, he could sleep in the dormitory every day.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he insisted on training hard every day and constantly honed his strength.

"Remos is injured, so of course he needs to rest. He is not like you, who has the convenient ability of the natural devil fruit and is not afraid of getting hurt."

As soon as Smoker finished speaking, Nami next to him immediately retorted.

Of course she knew that Smoker was a natural devil fruit user, Remos had told her this a long time ago.

If she was very scared the last time she saw Smoker, now she is completely fearless. After all, she is no longer a pirate. Like Remos, she has become a bounty hunter. The tattoo on her arm has been changed into an orange and windmill pattern to commemorate her mother and the village, which is equivalent to completely drawing a line with her past self.

Therefore, she is not afraid of Smoker at all now. So what if the other party is a naval captain?

And when Nami was no longer afraid, the fierce side of her character immediately emerged.

"..."

Smoker was choked. He took a few deep puffs of the cigarette, stared at Nami with a bad look for a while, and finally pouted his lips and said nothing.

Nami suddenly became proud, holding her head high, as proud as a white swan.

Dashigi watched this scene and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

Seeing Smoker being humiliated is a rare sight that only happens once in many years.

"So you're planning to go directly to the Grand Line this time?"

Smoker adjusted his mood and looked at Remos.

Remus nodded, acknowledging his thoughts.

"It's better to go to the Grand Line. The East Sea can't accommodate people like you. Take this opportunity to fulfill your promise to spar with me before, right?"

"Of course, I came here just to spar with you and collect the bounty."

"Haha, I guess you're mainly after the bounty, right?"

“Discussion is also important.”

The two chatted for a few words, and then walked towards the interior of the base together.

Nami and Tashigi followed behind them. Tashigi whispered a few words to Nami, and Nami responded with a few words. Then Tashigi looked at the safe in shock.

She pointed to the box and then to Remus.

Nami nodded, a happy smile on her face.

The navy soldiers who were originally training at the training ground had been driven away, leaving the venue to Smoker and Remos.

The two stood facing each other.

Following the order from the navy soldier waving the flag, Remos instantly drew his gun and fired. The bullet hit Smoker in the middle of his eyebrows, and Nami subconsciously screamed.

However, Smoker did not fall down. A small hole appeared between his eyebrows, and the hole was filled with white smoke.

"Your shooting is very accurate and fast. Very good, Remus. With just this one shot, you are qualified to travel the Grand Line!"

Smoker let out a long roar, his lower body turned into thick smoke, and his upper body soared into the sky. In his hand, he held his large ten-handed sword embedded with seastone. He pounced in front of Remos and hit him hard.

Ten hands hit the ground, making a small hole. Remos jumped back to avoid it and raised his hands to fire two shots.

One of the shots was blocked by Smoker's ten hands, and the other was dodged by him using elementalization.

It should be noted that the elemental ability of the natural devil fruit is automatically acquired as long as it is eaten. This is a basic ability of the natural system and is passive. However, the passive elemental ability can be caught by the armed color domineering, so the ability user will actively use elemental ability when avoiding the armed color domineering and transform the body into elements in advance.

All in all, this is a very powerful and convenient ability.

Remos doesn't know Armament Haki, so Smoker can automatically dodge the bullets he shoots just by standing still.

Next, Smoker began his performance. He turned into a ball of smoke and kept circling and diving in the field. Remos used his dodging ability to the extreme, dodging and fighting back at the same time.

Occasionally, he can launch a more threatening attack, forcing Smoker to use his weapon to block the bullets.

The two of them fought back and forth, having a lot of fun, and their movements were very fast. Both Smoker's flying speed and Remos's dodging speed were far beyond ordinary people.

The naval soldiers around were stunned. They had never seen such a fierce battle before. Even the navy soldiers who were originally working in the building leaned out from various angles to watch the battle up close.

"Remos, you are no match for me."

Smoker once again let a bullet pass through his body. He held a cigarette in his mouth, and half of his face and most of his body turned into smoke. Only the right half of his face and his right hand remained in their original state.

He quickly crossed the training ground and rushed to Remos at an unprecedented speed. He knocked Remos's revolver away with his ten hands and then stopped him at the throat.

"you lose."

He said this in a proud tone, holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Really? Why can't it be you who lost?"

However, the next second, the familiar revolver appeared next to his temple, the Remos in front of him turned into bubbles and disappeared, and the real Remos appeared next to him.

Smoker was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually widened.

"Devil Fruit?!"
