Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

One can imagine the horror in Nami's heart when her name was called out all of a sudden.

"You, who are you? Why do you know me?"

She subconsciously took a half step back, holding the book in one hand and pulling out a dagger from under her cloak with the other.

The dagger was polished to a very sharp edge, shining coldly in the sunlight.

She is still a little immature. As a little thief wandering among countless pirate groups, shouldn't her first reaction be to play dumb?

Another possibility was that Remos's action of calling her name was too sudden, causing her to be confused for a moment.

"Who am I? That's a good question. Here, you can read this newspaper."

Remos raised his hand and handed Nami a brand new newspaper.

The one he had read before had already been returned to the restaurant owner, and this one was bought by him as he passed by.

Nami looked at Remos warily, and when she saw that he didn't make any unnecessary movements, she suddenly reached out to snatch the newspaper. Then, while staring at Remos, she quickly glanced at the front page of the newspaper.

Then she saw the photo in the corner of the front page.

"This……"

Nami was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Remos.

Remos posed for the photo at some point, still holding the broken revolver in his hand.

"How is it? Are you handsome?"

"..."

Nami put down the newspaper with a strange expression.

It should be said that she was indeed not that nervous anymore.

"Are you a sea ranger?"

"Yes, you know me?"

Remos turned the revolver, then put the gun into the holster and asked with a smile.

"When I was working in a pirate group before, I heard the pirates mention your name. They said you were the most powerful bounty hunter that emerged recently..."

Nami whispered.

"Haha, that's a bit too much. I don't dare to say that I'm the best."

Remos put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly.

Although he is not well-known among ordinary people, there are still many people in the pirate community who know the name of Sea Patrol Ranger, which shows that his efforts this year have not been in vain.

"Then why are you looking for me? Are you going to arrest me?"

Nami suddenly became nervous.

But looking at her rolling eyes, it was clear that she was trying to find a way to escape.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in petty thieves. The reason I'm looking for you is very simple. It's mainly because of two things. First, you've been on my ship, right? Want to steal something? Unfortunately, there's nothing valuable on my ship."

"Forehead……"

Nami was stunned for a moment, then she noticed the small boat behind Remos.

"I didn't, don't accuse me..."

"You know best whether I have wronged you or not. By the way, I want to tell you one thing. My eyes are much better than those of ordinary people. I can see many traces that others cannot see. Otherwise, how do you think I could chase you all the way and finally block you in the bookstore?"

"..."

Nami opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but when she saw the crosshairs faintly appearing in Remos's eyes, she completely gave up the idea.

"Okay, what's the second thing."

This was a disguised admission of her behavior of quietly boarding the boat.

"It's simple. I want you to be my companion."

Remus said with a grin.

"?!"

Nami raised her head suddenly and looked at him in disbelief, "You, what did you say?"

“You heard me right, Nami, I said I want you to be my companion.

I know that your dream since childhood is to draw a nautical chart of the whole world, and you are extremely talented in this area. It just so happens that I am planning to leave the East China Sea and go to the Grand Line to hunt those more powerful pirates. I need an excellent navigator to escort me, so I thought of you.

I originally planned to take some time out to look for you, because I wasn't sure where you were, but I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to meet you here."

Remos is indeed very lucky.

He had originally been out hunting down the Gun and Sword Pirates, but ended up running into the Shadow Mouse Pirates, which not only improved his fate compatibility, but also gave him the parahuman-type Illusion Fruit.

This time it was even more outrageous. He had originally planned to stay here for one night before returning to Cabers Island, but he didn't expect to meet Nami here.

What do you call this? This is what it means to look for something in vain, yet to find it without any effort.

"You, you want me to be your companion... Wait! You haven't answered me yet, how did you know my information?!"

Nami stared at Remos blankly at first, then quickly came to her senses and thought of the original question.

"Well, I can't tell you about this. As a bounty hunter, I naturally have my own information channels. Little sister, don't underestimate the ability of a sea ranger."

Remos rubbed his nose with his hand and said with a smile.

"..."

Nami bit her lip lightly, "Okay, I don't need to ask you this question. You said you wanted me to be your companion. I'm sorry, this is the only thing I can't agree to."

"Is it because of the Arlong Pirates?"

Remus asked.

Nami shook her head.

"It has nothing to do with the Arlong Pirates. I have things I must do. I will not be anyone's companion until I achieve my goal. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

She whispered, then turned and walked away.

"So, Nami, do you really think that 100 million berries can make Arlong let you go and the entire Cocoa Village? You have been on the sea for several years. Why are you so naive to think that a pirate will keep his promise?"

Remus' voice slowly drifted over.

Nami was struck by lightning and stopped there. She bit her lips hard, which broke and bled a little.

"Although I don't know why you know this, but Aaron promised me..."

As she said this, her body was shaking slightly.

Because she couldn't help but think of the villagers in the village and her sister Nojigo.

I remembered the scene when my adoptive mother Bellmère died.

Of course she knew that Aaron might break his promise, but she had no other choice. In order to protect the villagers and to protect Nojigo, she could only take the risk.

Footsteps were heard, Nami felt a large hand on her head, and Remos' voice was heard.

"Don't worry. I told you I want you to be my companion, so I will solve all your worries. Are you worried that Aaron will cause trouble for Kokoyasi Village after you leave? It's easy. Just kill him."

Remus' tone was full of confidence.

Nami raised her head and looked at the strange man she had just met. The sunlight shining on his face gave people a feeling of light coming.

"But before that, you should return the money you stole from me, right?"

"..."

The tears shrank back.
