Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

As he described, a story that had been hidden for more than ten years gradually unfolded before the three people.

Twelve years ago, this place was not yet the Kalayphos Islands, it was still using its original name - the Starry Island.

At that time, this place was far from being as prosperous as it is today. The Starry Island was at best a trade transit station, and because of the surrounding sea conditions, it was difficult for large ships to dock here, so commercial development was very limited.

At that time, the islanders, apart from relying on cargo transit at the dock for their livelihood, mostly relied on the mountains and the water for their livelihood, fishing, farming, making handicrafts, etc. Although their lives were not rich, they were still peaceful.

But one night twelve years ago, everything changed.

“All residents on the island were afflicted with a mysterious disease. I was out on business at the time, so I escaped the disaster.

I contacted them via Den Den Mushi and asked about the situation on the island..."

Unfortunately, the islanders couldn’t explain what was happening to them. Not only could the doctors on the island not cure the islanders, but the doctors themselves became sick as well.

This situation attracted the attention of other surrounding islands, and the navy also dispatched warships and sent soldiers ashore to investigate the situation.

But no matter who they were, once they got ashore, they would never be able to come out again, and all the reports reported that they had become seriously ill and were unable to move.

This matter became a bit serious. The naval commander who was leading the team at the time immediately contacted the headquarters, hoping to get support, and it would be best if the senior commander of the headquarters could take action personally.

The Navy Headquarters did not hesitate and immediately sent out Kuzan, who was already known as a monster at that time.

Unfortunately, before Kuzan could arrive here, a war suddenly broke out.

"I heard from the people in Den Den Mushi that two people broke into the Starry Island from outside, and one of them was recognized by everyone. And I know him too. His name is Trevor. He was once the strongest person on the island. He said he wanted to meet more strong people, and then suddenly left one day.

There has been no news or any information for so many years. I thought he was dead, but I didn’t expect that he was still alive and brought a helper with him…”

"Do you know who that helper is?"

Mei next to her immediately asked nervously.

"I don't know. No one knows that person. We only know that he came back with Trevor and is a swordsman. After they landed on the island, they immediately rushed to the mountain behind..."

"Wait, mountains? That's not right. As we walked along, we saw a flat area in the distance, but there were no mountains!"

Nami asked confused.

“It’s gone now, but it was there before.”

The old man shook his head.

"I wasn't here at the time, so I don't know the details, but I learned from the voice on the Den Den Mushi that the two of them had a fight with something in the mountain. The fight was so fierce that the mountain was worn flat, the surrounding seawater was cut open, and all the reefs under the sea were cut in half.

The battle lasted for a whole day and night, and later... later, there was no sound from the Den Den Mushi, and no one spoke, as if they were all dead.

For the next six months, this place was blocked by the navy and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

As soon as the blockade was lifted again, I returned here and found that the previous town was gone, the mountains were gone, and the residents on the island were gone.

The World Government allowed us to rebuild the town here, but many people did not dare to come back. Only ten people, including me, returned here.

We rebuilt the town and built bridges connecting the islands. Because the reefs were cut off, large ships could also dock here, and the new town gradually prospered.

What happened back then has been forgotten by everyone. The new residents have no idea what happened in the past, and we old folks don’t want the development of the town to be affected by past events.

That’s all I know.”

The old man said slowly.

"What? It turns out there are still no concrete clues."

Nami couldn't help but curl her lips.

Although it was interesting to hear some secrets of the past, their purpose in coming here today was not just to listen to stories.

"Is that all? I want to know about the swordsman. He, he might be my father!"

Mei asked, her expression very nervous, afraid of getting another disappointing answer.

The old man looked at Mei, then at Remos and Nami, his gaze especially lingering on Remos' face for a long time, and finally he sighed softly.

He turned and walked to the desk next to him, took out a very special Den Den Mushi, walked around the room several times with the bug in his hand, and finally returned to the desk amid everyone's puzzled and curious gazes.

"This is a Den Den Mushi used for anti-surveillance. The World Government does not allow us to talk about the past in detail. A few years ago, I met a World Government agent on the island..."

What do you mean, is there really more to it?!

Remos and the other two immediately perked up and stared at the old man nervously.

"There is one thing that I never told the Navy even when they asked me. Even my son doesn't know it. In fact, I heard a few words back then."

"What is the word?"

Mei asked immediately.

"Virus, Devil Fruit, Celestial Dragons, the North."

The old man spoke out his deepest secrets word by word.

"At that time, the Den Den Mushi had been silent for a long time. Just before I was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, I heard a conversation, but the person talking was a little far away, and the Den Den Mushi's voice was very vague. I could only distinguish these four words from it, and then the Den Den Mushi was completely silent.

I don't know what these words mean, and I don't want to know these things because I think they will cause me a lot of trouble.

But, son, I understand the pain of separation; my wife and first child were on the island at the time.

I just watched them disappear, but there was nothing I could do.

I don't know if the swordsman that day was your father, but I hope my secret can help you."

The old man's eyes were slightly red.

"Don't worry, no fifth person will know about what happened today."

Remus said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we will definitely keep it a secret for you!"

Nami also said, patting her chest.

Mei didn't say anything, just nodded continuously.

"Alright, alright. I believe you. I still trust the name of Sea Patrol Ranger."

The old man smiled, and his expression was much more relaxed than before. It was obvious that carrying these secrets in his heart was a burden to him. After speaking them out, he felt a lot more relaxed.
