Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

"He's making rapid progress, and Tina is surprised."

Tina held a cigarette in her hand and looked at Remos in the training ground in front of her, who was now able to fight with Garp in a proper manner, and sighed sincerely.

Crocodile's face was gloomy and he couldn't help but snort.

Tina glanced at him.

"You are also a famous pirate for many years, why don't you even know Armament Haki? Tina was very confused."

For those who have made a name for themselves on the sea, whether it is the navy or pirates, armed color domineering has almost become a standard feature.

In the New World, even ordinary soldiers and pirate minions know Armament Haki, but Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, doesn't know it?

It’s incredible to think about.

"..."

Crocodile said nothing.

What could he say?

He said that he actually knew how to use Armament Haki, but he just didn't use it because he was not proficient in it?

Saying this would only make him more embarrassed.

If anyone is to blame, it's that he has devoted too much energy to fruit development and the affairs of Baroque Works in recent years, and neglected the improvement of his domineering and physical skills.

Crocodile felt even worse when he thought about how he was defeated by a kid who couldn't even use Haki. He stood up suddenly and turned to walk outside.

Tina immediately followed.

"Don't try to escape, Crocodile. Even if you are wearing ordinary handcuffs now, you have no chance. Tina will always keep an eye on you."

"Now that I've failed, I won't run away."

Crocodile finally spoke, his tone was cold.

The handcuffs he was wearing now were indeed ordinary ones, which were replaced by Garp. If he wanted, he could transform into an element and leave here at any time.

But he had no intention of escaping, because there was no way he could escape.

If the navy sent only Tina this time, he could just escape. At most he would lose the title of Shichibukai and then be wanted by the World Government and the navy again. Tina's Kan-Kan Fruit would never be able to catch him.

Unfortunately, the one who was dispatched this time was Garp, a figure who even the Pirate King could chase around the world. No matter how arrogant Crocodile was, he would not be so arrogant as to think that he could escape from under Garp's nose.

"So what are you going to do now?"

Tina asked persistently.

Two blue veins popped out on Crocodile's forehead.

"I want to go out for a walk, can't I?!"

He couldn't bear to watch the fights in the training ground. The more he watched, the angrier and more frustrated he became. He needed to change the environment to make himself feel better.

Tina was right, Remos's progress was indeed very fast.

When he first started his special training, Remos had no power to fight back and was easily knocked out by Garp. Now he can fight Garp head-on with his fists.

Of course, the premise of a head-on confrontation is that Garp is not serious, otherwise Remos will only be beaten unilaterally.

But isn't it a bit too outrageous that the whole process from not understanding Haki at all to being able to cover both hands with Armament Haki took only five days?

Even though the coverage time was very short and the total amount of domineering was pitifully small, this talent still shocked Crocodile.

Cap himself was equally shocked.

He had been roaming the seas for many years and had seen at least eighty powerful men, but he had never seen a young man with such a terrifying talent.

Not only did he learn the domineering skills very quickly, but even his own fighting moves and force techniques were secretly learned by the other party.

So much so that when he was fighting with Remos, he even thought that the person opposite him was his younger self.

When the two fists collided again, the armament domineering on Remos's fist finally dissipated, and then he was knocked away by Garp and crashed into the inn next door.

"Hey! Here you go again! Can you guys be more careful? My house is about to collapse!"

The innkeeper's wife, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, ran out of the main entrance of the inn, ran to Cap, pointed at his nose and cursed.

Karp could only scratch his head and say nice things, and promised to pay more for repairs, and only then did he appease the boss lady.

Nami and Vivi ran over to check on Remos and were relieved to find that he was not injured.

"Boy, you've made great progress. I have nothing more to teach you. The rest is up to you. Haki is a kind of power that becomes stronger the more you use it. You have to use it often and keep practicing. One day you will become as strong as me, hahahaha!"

When Remos came out of the breach, Garp stood in front of him, patted his shoulder hard, and said with a laugh.

"Thank you, Mr. Garp."

Remus thanked sincerely.

Although Garp's training method seems unreliable, the result is good. Moreover, Garp is very serious when teaching and will constantly point out his mistakes, which has helped Remos avoid countless detours.

"No need to thank me. I've already said it before. As long as you are willing to continue hunting pirates, my teachings will be valuable. Well, you should take a rest first. Nami, it's your turn!"

"Ah? Grandpa Garp, can we not train?"

"No, you're so thin, how can you become stronger without training? Don't think you can relax just because you have a devil fruit. Isn't Crocodile stronger than you? But he couldn't even take a punch from me!"

Crocodile, who had just come back from a walk outside, heard these words when he returned to the door of the inn. His face turned red and he turned around and walked out.

Tina pouted and had to follow again.

For the next two days, Remos practiced with Garp as usual, but his improvement was very small during these two days.

This is what domineering is like. After getting started, your strength will have a small burst, but more of it still depends on daily practice.

Nami and Vivi continued to be beaten by Garp, but unfortunately until the last day of training, they were still unable to master Haki, and they couldn't even find the feeling of Haki.

It's somewhat regrettable.

The day of separation finally arrived.

In Alabasta's port city of Eluma, Crocodile boarded the warship under the escort of Tina and took the initiative to enter the cabin.

Remos, Nami and Vivi said their final goodbyes to Garp at the port.

"Boy, you really don't plan to join the navy?"

This was the second time Cap asked him.

Remus still shook his head.

"I'm not used to the rules and regulations of the Navy. Sorry, Mr. Garp, I still have to reject you."

"No need to apologize. Since you have chosen your direction, then keep going firmly and work hard to hunt pirates. I will always keep an eye on you."

Garp laughed and said, then turned around and boarded the warship without any reluctance.

With a melodious whistle, the warship weighed anchor and set sail, quickly disappearing from the sight of Remos and the other two.
