Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

"no problem."

Remus shook his head.

It’s just a small garden. It’s not a problem as long as there is a permanent pointer. It’s also a good opportunity to go and see those two giants.

And Remos is actually quite interested in Crocodile, as well as Robin... In short, although he is already very familiar with this route, he believes that he will gain some new insights if he can walk it himself.

Seeing that Remos had no objection, Nami ran to continue buying pointers with Krocus.

When she heard that the price of the perpetual pointer was as high as 50 million, she was stunned.

"Let's change the route? Okay? This route is really not important!"

Nami turned to Remos and begged him to change his mind.

"Alright, alright, we've made our choice, let's just follow this route. Don't worry, we can still sell the Perpetual Pointer once we get to Alabasta."

The Perpetual Pointer is a rare item and will not be cheap no matter where you buy it. If you buy it now and sell it in Alabasta, you may even make some money.

Krocas nodded beside him, indicating his agreement with this statement.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Remos, Nami sighed and finally stopped struggling. Then, with a painful look on her face, she took two large gold bricks from the boat and slammed them hard into Krocus' hands, as if she was deliberately venting her resentment.

Unfortunately, Krocas's palms were very strong and he easily caught the two gold bricks.

"Uncle, you really know how to do business."

Nami said through gritted teeth.

"Haha, thank you very much. It's been a long time since I've met a customer as wealthy as you."

Krocas smiled happily, he made a lot of money from this deal.

"I'm curious, if there's no permanent signpost, do other people who choose this route really have to stay in the small garden for a year?"

“Of course not. Many people changed their routes immediately after learning about the situation in the small garden. Even if you continue to take this route, you can abandon the guidance of the compass and go out to sea directly. The Grand Line is not impossible to navigate without the compass.

Pointers are just convenient tools. Without them, the risk is at most a little higher, and it is easy to get lost.

If there is a good enough navigator, with a little bit of luck or strong enough strength, it is not impossible to sail directly without the compass."

For example, the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, most of these people can go out to sea directly without the recording pointers and permanent pointers, and the same is true for the navy.

In addition, in addition to recording pointers and permanent pointers, there are many other navigation methods on the sea, but they are not as accurate and easy to use as pointers.

After buying the pointer, Remos and Nami bid farewell to Krocus and started their first voyage into the Grand Line.

On the way, Nami controlled the rudder, still muttering to herself.

"This uncle is so sinister, he actually schemed against me like this... Remus, you too, why don't you change your mind? You actually spent tens of millions to buy a broken pointer."

"It's just tens of millions. Can't we just sell it in Alabasta?"

Remos said with a smile, sitting on the recliner next to him.

"Humph, this is only the case now. If it was in the past, I would not let him go so easily. I would have to steal all his pointers and let him feel heartbroken."

Nami said with puffed lips.

"You want to steal something from this uncle, that's probably not going to happen."

"why?"

"Because he's not just any lighthouse keeper, he's the Pirate King's ship doctor."

"Wha...what?"

Nami was stunned for a moment, and then her voice changed, "Who do you say he is? The Pirate King's ship doctor? That weird uncle?"

"That's right, Crocus, the ship's doctor of Roger's pirate group. He disappeared without a trace after Roger disbanded the pirate group. I didn't expect to see him here."

"No, how do you know he's a member of One Piece's crew?"

"Because it was in the old newspapers. I once accidentally saw an old newspaper that contained all the information of the crew of One Piece, including this Crocus, but he looked much younger than he does now."

"So he's just selling pointers here openly? And the World Government and the Navy don't care?"

"Why should we care? He's already like this, why don't we just be a lighthouse keeper and buy some record pointers? The World Government would rather he just stay quiet."

Not to mention Krocus, didn't the World Government even take care of Roger's deputy, Pluto Rayleigh?

It is impossible for the World Government and the Navy not to know that Rayleigh is in the Sabaody Archipelago. Logically speaking, Rayleigh is much more dangerous than Krocus, not to mention that he carries a huge bounty.

However, for the World Government, the most important thing is never the pirate group. What the Five Elders are really worried about are all those who undermine the rule of the World Government and try to reveal the truth of the world.

As long as you don't challenge the bottom line of the World Government, no matter how much trouble you make, the World Government will not even look at you.

If a big pirate suddenly announced that he had retired, the World Government would not easily send people to disturb him even if they knew where he was hiding.

Especially these old guys, if you provoke any one of them, it might attract a large number of old guys living in seclusion, which is simply a thankless task.

Even the navy, which claims to be righteous, will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see someone like Krocas, even if they know the other party's identity and position.

"I don't understand."

Nami didn't understand the twists and turns here, and her little face was full of confusion.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. None of this matters. Let's just do our job and leave this kind of problem to the bigwigs."

Remos stretched and said lazily.

……

With the recording pointer, with Nami's level, the rest of the voyage will naturally be smooth sailing.

On the way, they also encountered extreme weather on the Grand Line for the first time. The sky, which was clear and bright one second, became thunderous and lightning-filled the next second, with knife-like icicles falling from the clouds.

The two of them quickly hid in the cabin, hugged each other and shivered, hoping that the ice spike would not sink the Liberty.

Soon, the sky cleared up again and the dark clouds disappeared.

If the deck hadn't been covered with icicles, Remos and Nami would even have suspected that the previous experience was just a dream.

A day later, a row of small black dots appeared on the distant sea horizon.

As the Liberty gradually approached, the small black dots gradually turned into huge cacti.

"We're here. Cactus Island and Whiskey Mountain are in front of us!"

Nami put down the telescope and said to Remos.
