Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

Time goes back ten minutes.

"Grandpa...Grandpa?!"

Mei widened her eyes and looked at the face in disbelief. The face was so familiar, it was exactly the younger version of her grandfather.

"No, you, why do you look like my grandfather? Who are you?"

Mei held the knife and stepped back subconsciously.

Grandpa died ten years ago. She saw it with her own eyes. There was no way she could be wrong. Most of the villagers and the old village chief attended the funeral. The body is still buried in the open space in the north of the village.

She might forget anything else, but this is the one thing she will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never forget.

Because from that day on, I was alone and my grandfather would never come back.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Mei clenched the long sword in her hand and shouted loudly.

The masked man touched his face, making sure the mask was gone, then smiled.

"Long time no see, Mei. I didn't expect your strength to have grown to this level. That sword strike just now was beautiful."

It is indeed very beautiful, just like a plum blossom in full bloom, beautiful yet full of murderous intent.

"But I remember I once told you that you should pay attention to the angle of your wrist when swinging the knife. It seems you forgot about it. The mistake you made back then has continued to this day."

The man said as he looked at Mei with a lazy smile on his face.

Mei took two steps back again and suddenly covered her mouth with her hands.

Grandpa did say these words, and she had not forgotten them. She deliberately kept this mistake in memory of her grandfather.

Now the familiar words sounded.

She was worried that she would burst into tears and she didn't want to do something embarrassing.

"Cry if you want to. I know you have a lot of grievances and confusions. Don't worry, since you have recognized me, I will tell you everything."

the man said.

Mei took a few deep breaths and forced back the tears.

"You, who are you?"

This is the third time Mei has asked this question.

"As you can see, Mei, I'm your grandfather, but I also have another name. My name is Feiyue, and I'm a swordsman from Wano Country."

Feiyue smiled slightly.

It is not difficult to see from his outfit and even Mei's outfit that they have a close connection with Wano Country. Remos could confirm this when he first met Mei.

But Mei had never known about this, and no one had ever told her about it. Now that Feiyue told it herself, it had a great impact on Mei's heart.

"Wano Country... But, but aren't you already dead..."

Mei murmured something under her breath and asked immediately afterwards.

"Oh, that, that's fake, just fake a corpse, very simple."

Feiyue said nonchalantly.

"Why……"

"Because I want to continue living, I must die first.

Mei, my life span has already reached its limit. I know I don’t have much time left, so I must find a way to prolong my life.

I pretended to be dead, went out to sea alone, found the Pigna Pirates, led them back here, and then mined the Immortal Stone on Honey Island. "

Feiyue said.

"The Immortal Stone? Isn't that a legend?"

Mei Zhu's eyes widened.

There has always been a legend about the Immortal Stone on Bee Island, which is said to make people immortal. However, no one has ever seen this stone, so the villagers have always thought it was just a legend.

No one would take this kind of thing seriously.

“It’s a legend, but the immortal stones do exist. They are just not stones in the ordinary sense. Or you could say that the immortal stones are actually a special kind of vine. In the last stage of their life, they will gradually turn into stones.

As long as they are watered with fresh human blood within a week after they turn into stone, the vines will revive again. Drinking the juice from the revived vines will prolong their lives.

Over the years, Pigna has been asking villagers to attack passing merchant ships. The reason is simple: I need this blood to revive the Immortal Stone."

Feiyue said with a smile.

Mei felt a chill on her back. Grandpa, no, the smile of the man opposite her made her feel scared and unfamiliar.

"Why do you do this..."

she murmured.

She tried to overlap this familiar face with her grandfather, but failed, because the grandfather in her memory was definitely not like this. He was so kind and gentle, and he was completely different from the man who killed people to prolong his life.

"Didn't I tell you, Mei, I'm doing this to survive.

In fact, I should have died, and I was ready to part with you, but by chance, I found an ancient book in the village chief's house, which recorded the story of the Immortality Stone in detail.

The old guy actually knew everything, but he kept the secret locked in a cabinet and even planned to take the secret to his grave.

What a waste! How could such a treasure remain unknown to others?

So I took action. Mei, aren't you happy? Grandpa is back, and I can continue to be with you, watching you grow up, watching you get married and have children, and when you have children in the future, I can help you take care of them."

Feiyue opened her arms and said with a smile.

However, Mei's face became more and more ugly. She kept shaking her head and her body kept backing away.

"It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this, it's not right..."

"What's wrong? Don't you want Grandpa to live?"

"I, of course I hope so, but I don't want it to be in this way."

"What difference does it make? Isn't the end result great?"

"It's not good. It's not good at all, because you are using other people's lives to prolong your own life!"

Mei finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out loud.

"..."

Feiyue stared at Mei blankly for a long time before she smiled and shook her head.

“I should have known that even after ten years, you still wouldn’t have made any progress and would still be such a coward.

It seems that my choice to prolong my life was indeed correct. You are so weak that you are not qualified to inherit Jingyingmei.

Unfortunately, I was too old at the time and had no other choice but to temporarily entrust Jingyingmei to you. I originally planned to give you ten years to see if you could change... Now it seems that I thought too much.

Mei, since you think that what I did is wrong, then let the knife in your hand speak for you. The winner will inherit Jingying Mei, and the loser will die completely. "

Feiyue held the sword in both hands and assumed a fighting stance.

Mei looked at the other person and clenched her teeth.

"You are not the grandfather I know, and I can never give Jingyingmei to you!"

She struck the same pose.

The next second, the two of them flashed and rushed towards each other at the same time.
