Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

"You really didn't do anything?"

Nami asked as she started to check it out.

Remos tried to stop her, but Nami easily removed his defense.

"Don't move, or I'll let them do it together!"

Nami threatened with wide eyes.

Remos immediately raised his hands, saluted in French military style, and accepted inspection.

"We really didn't do anything. After I found him, I confirmed that he had resigned and not defected, and then I invited him to come on board, and he agreed. How could I possibly do anything?"

Remus explained.

"Are you sure he's quitting and not defecting? But Sister Peacock said..."

Mei interjected from the side, and subconsciously glanced towards the cabin while speaking, in case Kuzan heard it.

"The navy probably hasn't reached a consensus yet. The people below are just guessing. It's normal that Sister Peacock's information is inaccurate."

"She is the granddaughter of Vice Admiral Tsuru. Didn't Vice Admiral Tsuru explain this to her clearly?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe I didn't make it clear."

Remus said with a shrug.

Just at this moment, Nami had finished the inspection and confirmed that there were no signs of fighting. She smiled with satisfaction.

"Are you sure Kuzan wants to join us now?"

"It's confirmed. He has nowhere to go anyway. Instead of drifting on the sea, he might as well team up with us."

Of course, Kuzan didn't really have nowhere to go. Like Zhan Guo, he was from the South China Sea. If he hadn't left, he could have returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion and farmed.

However, Kuzan is obviously not that kind of person, and it is too embarrassing for a former navy admiral to go back to his hometown to farm.

What's more, Kuzan should have some ideas, otherwise he would not have joined the Blackbeard Pirates in the original work.

He left the navy only because he had a disagreement with Sakaski and was unwilling to work under Sakaski. It didn't mean that he would turn around and become a pirate and become a villain. So Remos always believed that there was a reason why he joined the Blackbeard Pirates, and it was most likely that he joined to be a spy.

As for why he attacked Garp in the original work, the reason is very simple - at that time, Kuzan was the captain of the tenth ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, and Beehive Island was Blackbeard's territory. Garp made a big fuss on Beehive Island and smashed and looted everything. If Kuzan did not take action, even a fool could see that he had a problem.

Therefore, it is inevitable for him to take action. By taking action, he can also control the damage suffered by Garp as much as possible. Otherwise, if Blackbeard takes action instead, it is really hard to predict what the result will be.

"That's great. With Kuzan, we've become even stronger. Even if the Four Emperors really come this time, we won't be afraid!"

Rebecca said excitedly.

"Yes, we are not afraid now."

Remus smiled and nodded.

Even if Kuzan lost a leg, he is still one of the strongest men on the sea. Once he gets used to his current state, he will be back to the top in minutes.

The admirals can go head-to-head with the Four Emperors. Although they may be slightly inferior in strength, the gap is not obvious.

The biggest problem of Remos' team before was that their top-level combat power was not strong enough.

Remos can only be regarded as barely reaching the level of the Four Emperors now. He will not be easily defeated when facing the Four Emperors, but it is still very, very difficult for him to win.

But it’s different with Kuzan. Now they can really compete with the Four Emperors, and it’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Cai Ting quickly finished Kuzan's treatment. In fact, there was nothing to cure. Kuzan did a perfect job of protecting himself. Cai Ting checked his wounds and made sure that they had scabbed over. She just changed some medicine for Kuzan and completed the treatment.

"All that's left is to rest and recover."

Cai Ting said to Remos.

"Are you going to look for Barrett next?"

Nami asked.

Remos thought about it and finally shook his head.

"Forget it. Kuzan can't move around easily right now. I'm worried something might happen after we find Barrett... Let's go back to Alabasta and rest for a while."

"Alabasta?!"

Nami immediately looked like a cat with its fur standing up, with her eyebrows raised.

"Yeah, have you forgotten? I'm still the Grand Duke of Rainland of Alabasta."

Remus said with a smile.

"Of course I'm not done, it's just... it's just..."

Nami opened her mouth, but couldn't say the following words.

"You don't hate Vivi, do you? If you hate her, I can choose not to go to Alabasta."

"I don't have any! Ugh..."

Nami immediately retorted loudly, then puffed up her cheeks as she realized that Remos was teasing her on purpose.

"Okay, okay, stop pouting and remember what I told you. Believe me, I definitely didn't lie."

Remos pinched Nami's cheek and said with a smile.

Nami then became happy.

Of course, happiness couldn't be written on her face, so she tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth so that she wouldn't laugh out loud on the spot.

Mei watched the two interacting with a smile on her face, while Rebecca had a confused expression on her face and didn't understand what they were saying.

Cai Ting had already sat down on the chair next to her, holding a medical book. She had never been interested in these little interactions.

The Pioneer quickly turned and headed straight for Alabasta.

A week later.

At the port of Eluma, the Pioneer slowly docked. Vivi waved her arms vigorously. She had been waiting for a long time.

"Vivi!"

"Nami!"

The two girls hugged each other tightly.

"I miss you so much! I think about you every day!"

"Me too, I look forward to your early return every day!"

"Weiwei, you've lost weight!"

"You've lost weight too, Nami."

The two girls were chatting as if no one was around, which made Rebecca, who was standing behind them, stunned.

These past few days, she had witnessed with her own eyes how Nami reminded Remos to be careful with Vivi, to be careful of Vivi's night attacks, to be careful not to be alone with each other, to take her with him wherever he went, etc. It seemed like the way a wife was guarding against a mistress.

But when they met now, they were so close to each other that Rebecca was completely confused.

"Don't think about these questions. You are still young and it is difficult for you to understand."

Mei patted Rebecca's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Rebecca nodded, "I just feel a little weird..."

"It's normal to feel weird. You'll understand when you're older."

Mei took Rebecca's hand and led Cai Ting with the other hand, walking forward like an old nanny.

Behind them are Remos and Kuzan.

Kuzan is now in much better condition than before. In just a few days, he has become fully familiar with his current physical condition.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that you are the Duke here."

Kuzan said with a sigh.

"It's not too late to remember it now. Let's go downstairs and have a rest."

Remos smiled and took Kuzan off the boat.
