Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

"Knock, knock, knock... Chris..."

Mei looked at the man in front of her, her eyes instantly filled with fear and panic.

She subconsciously wanted to step back, but after taking two steps back, she felt a wall behind her. Turning around, she saw a strong man as tall as an iron tower appeared behind her, blocking her way.

Mei was horrified and quickly dodged away from the other person, unknowingly retreating in front of Chris.

Before she could react, her shoulder was grabbed by the other person.

"Mei, you ran away from home without even saying goodbye. Isn't that a bit immature? Do you know how much effort we put into finding you?"

Chris leaned close to May's ear and whispered devilishly.

"I, I, I, I, I... I just, just want to participate in a competition..."

Mei spoke tremblingly, subconsciously hugging the package in her arms that was nearly as tall as a person. She had been holding this package in her arms before, and it was always at her side during competitions. It was obvious that she cherished this package very much.

"Oh? You just want to participate in a competition? What a lovely wish... But who allowed you to leave without saying goodbye? And who allowed you to participate in the competition?"

Chris's tone suddenly became cold.

Mei shuddered and was about to speak when she was thrown out by the other party. She hit the wall next to her and let out a cry of pain. The bag in her hand fell to the ground.

She came to her senses and tried to bend down to pick up the package, but before she could move, a knife was already against her throat.

"Answer my question, Mei, and don't make me look like a fool, okay? If you really can't answer the first two questions, why not answer my third question?

Who allowed you to be away from home for so long?"

Chris approached May again, his eyes gleaming with the cruelty of a hunter catching his prey.

Another big man came over at this moment, bent down to pick up the package on the ground, and tore off the outer layer of cloth without saying a word.

"do not want!"

Mei said eagerly.

But it was no use, because no one would listen to her.

The big man quickly tore off the cloth, revealing what was inside.

This is a long sword as tall as a person, with a purple scabbard, which is similar to the color of Mei's hair. The handle is pure white, and the hilt is in the shape of a plum blossom.

The big man pulled out a section of the long sword, and the blade reflected a dazzling light in the sun, with plum blossom-shaped patterns on it.

"Jingyingmei, the twenty-first skill of the great sword, this is your goal, right?

Mei, this is the family's precious sword. You actually stole it and tried to disappear with it. You are so brave. Do you know that since the day you disappeared, mother fell ill. She ordered us to come out to find you and bring you back.

So, do you have any last words? After all, when you go home with us, you probably won’t have the chance to speak again. "

Chris looked at the big man, and when he nodded, he smiled and said to Mei.

Mei lowered her head and two crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"I, I'm not a thief. I didn't steal anything. This knife was left to me by my grandfather. I was named after this knife. It belongs to our family. It was you who took it away. I just took back what belongs to me."

May whispered.

"Look, you're still being stubborn. After mother established the family, everything on the island belongs to her, including you and this knife. I thought you had figured this out a long time ago."

Chris said with a smile.

"No, no, I, I have never admitted such a thing. It was you, she who took everything away!"

Mei was still shaking her head.

"Tsk, it turns out that your family's education of you is not enough. No wonder you sneaked out on your own."

Chris smacked his lips. Although his smile remained unchanged, his eyes had turned completely cold.

"It seems that I need to teach you a lesson before I go home, so that you won't cause us any trouble. Let me think about it, where should I start? Well, why not carve a plum blossom on your face? It just fits your name very well."

As Chris spoke, he suddenly exerted force with his arm and stabbed the knife into Mei's face.

Mei was shocked and closed her eyes subconsciously.

"Assholes! What are you doing to her!"

At this moment, a delicate cry suddenly rang out, and then a cloud flew rapidly from a distance, turned into a big fist in mid-air, and hit the strong man heavily.

The sturdy man was caught off guard and was knocked away by a punch, and the long sword fell out of his hand.

The clouds fell, Nami revealed her true form, reached out and grabbed the long sword in mid-air, then glared at Chris.

"Let her go!"

She held a knife in one hand, and mist continued to rise from her body.

"Those who can?"

Chris was startled and quickly pulled Mei into his arms and put the knife to her neck.

"No wonder you dared to escape from the family, it turns out you found a new backer, hehe, I really didn't expect that Mei, who has been quiet since childhood, actually has a friend, but do you think this will be useful? No matter what kind of ability person they are, they have no power to resist when facing their mother.

You are the same, they are the same, Mei, you don't think you can rebel against your mother like this, do you? "

Chris kept his eyes fixed on Nami and whispered in Mei's ear.

"No, no, I don't know her. This matter has nothing to do with her."

Mei kept shaking her head.

"Hey, it doesn't matter what you say... Hey, the beautiful lady over there, can you give me back the knife? If you don't want her to get hurt."

Chris grinned and suddenly shouted to Nami.

"Who are you? Let her go!"

Nami yelled, and before they knew it, a thick fog had started to form around the alley.

Chris ignored all of this. He pressed the knife against Mei's neck. The blade slightly scratched her skin, and a hint of bright red blood appeared on her snow-white neck.

"I don't want to waste time with you, give me the knife, or she will die now."

"you……"

Nami's expression changed.

"Ok?"

Chris put more force on his hands.

"No, I'll give it to you."

Nami quickly stopped him and threw the long sword over.

Chris smiled and reached out to grab the knife.

But at this moment...

"Have you ever been kicked by Thunder?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"what?"

Chris turned around in surprise.

The next second, a bolt of lightning swept across and hit Chris in the face, kicking him away.

Then a hand stretched out from the lightning and caught the long sword steadily.
