Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

"Mei, listen to me..."

Uh, why does this sentence suddenly give me a strong sense of déjà vu?

Remos shook his head, getting rid of the image of a certain maternal brilliance in his mind, then raised his hand and pressed Mei's shoulder.

"Remember what I said before? We are partners, a team, and even a family. Your business is our business.

Besides, we have finally found this place and are about to get the result. How can we just give up like this?"

"But, but it's very dangerous..."

Mei looked at Remos and said softly.

"It's actually not that dangerous. Have you forgotten what the villagers said? The diseases here are not transmitted through the air. They are only spread through blood inheritance, so it is generally safe."

Remus said with a smile.

Mei bit her lip.

"Well, then I'll go with you. Since you think it's safe, let me go with you. Otherwise, I will never agree to this."

She said with a serious expression.

Remus looked at May, and after a moment, he nodded.

"Okay, then you come with me."

"Ah? What about me?"

Nami blinked and raised a finger to point at herself.

"Nami, you will stay on the boat this time. We have always acted alone before, but this time it will be Mei's turn to come with me."

Remos smiled, then winked at Nami when Mei wasn't paying attention.

Nami pouted.

"Okay, now that you've said that, you two stay safe. I'll stay here and watch the boat."

Although she was a little unhappy that she couldn't follow, she knew her priorities and when she could be willful and when she should be obedient.

Then Nami stayed on the Pioneer and watched Remos and Mei get off the ship and walk towards the center of the island.

On the way, Mei finally met more villagers. Those on the dock were in relatively good condition, but the condition of the people in the village was really serious. Both adults and children were covered with various scars, which was very scary to look at.

The villagers were also very curious about the arrival of the two. Several children were running around them. Mei looked at the innocent eyes of these children and then at their faces. The more she looked, the more distressed she felt.

"Remos..."

"I know, but don't do anything unnecessary. Besides, the situation here is not something we can change."

Remus whispered.

Mei bit her lip and finally nodded without saying anything.

The two walked forward, quickly passed through the village, and headed towards the deeper mountains.

The villagers looked at their backs and shook their heads.

"Two more idiots are here to die."

……

It turns out that there have been other people visiting the island over the years?

Remos moved his ears and listened to the villagers' discussions.

It's normal if you think about it carefully. This island is not isolated from the world, and there will always be curious people who want to enter the island to find out.

"Are all the people in front dead? Or have some left?"

Remos was curious, and he was now even more curious about what had happened on the island.

As we continued forward, the surrounding environment quickly changed.

When they first left the village, there were still woods all around, but as they continued to move forward, there were fewer and fewer trees around them, and the weeds on the ground gradually became sparse.

After walking for another ten minutes, the two turned a slope and the scene before them finally made them stop.

There was a barren land in front of us. There was not a single blade of grass on the ground. The rocks and soil were directly exposed to the sun. As far as the eye could see, there were only bare land and scattered animal bones.

"This……"

Mei was frightened and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"It seems that the problem here is very serious."

Remos fully released his Observation Haki and caught a glimpse of a lonely figure in front of him. Apart from that, there were no other living creatures around.

"Let's go, the answer is just ahead."

If the villagers did not lie, then the voice captured by the Observation Haki was the young man they mentioned who never communicated with others.

"Ah."

Mei nodded, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to follow Remos.

They passed through the barren land and entered the mountains. The situation in the mountains was even more terrifying. There were animal skeletons everywhere and the white bones made people feel a little creepy. It felt like they had walked into a huge cemetery.

After passing through the cemetery, green appeared again in front of us, but this time it was no longer big trees and weeds, but something like moss all over the mountains.

"Remos."

As they walked, Mei suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, I know, he's coming."

Remos nodded, stopped with Mei, and looked up ahead.

A figure appeared on a large rock in front of me.

The other person had disheveled hair and was wrapped in a white rag. At first glance, he looked like a ghost that appeared from nowhere.

But the other person was indeed a living person. Remos could hear the other person's heartbeat and feel the bioelectricity in the other person's body.

"We have no intention of disturbing your life. We just want to find clues about our old friends. If you know anything, please tell us. Once we find what we need, we will leave immediately."

Because he didn't know who the person on the other side was and what they were doing here, Remos took the lead in stating his purpose, hoping to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"leave."

The figure opposite spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse, making it difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman. His hair covered his face, making it difficult to see his appearance.

"We have no ill intentions, don't be nervous, we are just here to look for something."

Remus said loudly, and continued to walk forward.

Mei followed him closely, looking around.

"I said... leave!"

The voice of the person on the other end suddenly became louder, and Remos vaguely heard a female-like voice.

Just as he was about to say something else, the figure opposite him suddenly disappeared from the big rock.

Clang——

Almost at the same time, Jingyingmei was unsheathed and blocked the hand that was grabbing Mei.

Although the first attack failed, this guy did not give up and continued to grab Mei with his other hand.

Remos transformed into thunder and came behind the man, grabbed his shoulders, and threw him out.

Then Remos frowned and looked at his palms.

A green "stain" appeared on the palm of his right hand. At this moment, the stain was spreading rapidly, covering most of his palm in a blink of an eye.

"Remos, you..."

Mei stared at him with wide eyes in panic.

"Leave... or die."

At this time, the monster who was thrown out crawled up from the ground, and his appearance had changed drastically without anyone noticing.
