Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

This ship is larger than Remos's boat. Judging from its specifications, it should be similar to the Merry, but there is definitely a difference in materials and workmanship.

After all, the Merry is worth 100 million, while the factory price of this ship is only 50 million, a difference of twice.

"Really giving it to us?"

"Of course it's true. Do you think I would joke about such a thing?"

"That shouldn't happen, but your loss would be quite big."

Remos glanced at the sailboat not far away again, "How do you usually deal with this kind of boat?"

"It's not a big loss for the Navy."

Smoker took a puff of his cigar. "After we capture pirate ships, we sell the ones in good condition to shipyards, and dismantle the ones in bad condition. If we sell this ship to a shipyard, the price will definitely be lowered. I estimate that it can only be sold for 30 million. It's not interesting. I might as well give it to you as a reward."

"Oh? Since the price is even lower if I sell it to the shipyard, can you give me a few million or something?"

"..."

"Haha, okay, it's just a joke. You're too serious. A little laughter will do you good."

Remus patted Smoker on the shoulder.

Of course he didn't care about those millions of Baileys, he was just teasing Smoker.

"Okay, now that you have the ship, the bounty issue is over."

Seeing that Nami had already started to fiddle with the sail not far away, Smoker looked at Remos.

Remus nodded.

"Well, it's over."

"Be careful on your way, Dashiqi. Now we are leaving."

Smoker was also a man of decisive character. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left without staying for even a second.

Tashigi had originally planned to say goodbye to Nami, but Smoker urged her too much, so she had no choice but to leave.

"Huh? Why did they leave?"

After a while, Nami got off the boat after having enough fun. Seeing that Remos was the only one left on the dock, she asked curiously.

"Of course we'll leave after we finish our business. How's the ship? Are you satisfied with it?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, it's much better than our previous ship."

As soon as the ship was mentioned, Nami's eyes immediately began to light up.

"One has a factory price of 50 million, and the other is less than 10 million. There is definitely no comparison between the two ships."

Remus curled his lips.

The boat he is driving now was one he had just replaced half a year ago. Earlier he was driving a smaller one-person wooden boat, the kind that would be overturned on the spot in strong winds and waves.

In the beginning, I had no money and had to make do with what I had. I chased the pirates by paddling myself, which did give me some exercise at the same time.

Later, he saved some money by hunting pirates and bought his current ship.

It’s not that he can’t afford a better one, but the current boat is just right for him. He has always gone out alone before, and he can’t control a boat that is too big, so a small boat is more convenient.

But now there is a new problem.

He is not alone anymore!

With Nami by his side, there is only one room on the boat that can be used as a bedroom. In other words, they have been sleeping together every day in recent days, which is really a bit inconvenient.

In fact, even if Smoker had not given him the gift, Remos had originally planned to build a new ship in the near future. On the one hand, it was because of Nami's needs, and on the other hand, considering the weird weather on the Grand Line, the original small boat was indeed not good enough.

However, according to his original plan, he was going to wait until he entered the Grand Line and then find the nearest island with good shipbuilding facilities to update his vehicle.

The Seven Water City is not considered for the time being. It is too far away and the boat cannot reach there.

Unexpectedly, Smoker gave him such a big surprise, which saved him a lot of time and energy.

"What about our original ship?"

Nami asked.

"What else can we do? Of course we should sell it. We have a new boat now."

Remus said with a smile.

Soon, the head of the only shipyard in Rogue Town came to the dock, inspected Remos's boat, and offered a purchase price of three million.

"Too little! Our boat is well maintained and has only been used for less than half a year. You are going too far in lowering the price..."

Nami stepped forward to bargain consciously, while Remos turned around to pack his things.

By the time he moved all his personal belongings in the boat to the dock, Nami had just reached a deal and the shipyard had bought back the boat for 466 million.

"Why is there still a small change?"

Remus was amazed.

"Hehe, I fought hard for that."

Nami put her hands on her hips, a smug look on her face.

"Great!"

Remus gave her a thumbs up.

Inviting Nami on board, in addition to getting an excellent navigator and daily eye-candy, the biggest benefit is that Nami is really good at financial management and can share a lot of daily work with Remos, and save him a lot of money by the way.

The price was just a fight with Aaron, and there was a bounty for winning. It was such a good deal that Remos couldn't think of any reason not to do it.

Luffy and his crew in the original novel were obviously unable to do this. If they dared to collect the bounty, they would be caught in minutes.

After selling the old boat, the two men moved all their belongings back to the new boat. After a simple packing, they returned to Rogue Town and began their big shopping before departure.

Before, the boat was small, the cabin was small too, and it couldn’t hold much stuff.

Now we have switched to a larger ship, and the cabin has been more than doubled in size, so I can finally go shopping to my heart's content.

In addition, there are four rooms on the new ship. Nami finally has her own bedroom, and beds and daily necessities also need to be purchased quickly.

Nami finally stopped running around with the safe. Apparently she had learned her lesson before. She only carried some cash with her, and hid the safe in a corner that she thought was very safe.

The speed of replenishing supplies is still very fast. In fact, there are various shops near the dock, which can quickly replenish ships.

The supplies mainly include food and fresh water, followed by medicine and weapons. Nami chose a wooden stick as a self-defense weapon and used it very well.

But Remos knew very well that Nami had at least three knives hidden on her body. Don't ask him how he knew that; he just saw it with his own eyes.

After replenishing the supplies, the two's mission in Rogue Town was completely completed. Remos controlled the sails, Nami took the helm, and the new ship set sail.

"Remus, what is the name of our new ship?"

On the deck, Nami suddenly leaned over and looked at Remos.

"I haven't really thought about this. Why don't you give it a name?"

Remos didn't care what the ship was called.

"Well, how about calling it the Liberty?"

Nami thought for a moment and said.

Is it to celebrate the fact that you have truly gained freedom?

Remus nodded.

"Okay, let's call it Liberty!"
