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 her head, she saw that a tower-like strong man appeared behind her, blocking her way.

Mei was shocked and quickly dodged from the other party, and unknowingly retreated in front of Chris.

Before she could react, her shoulder was pinched by the other party.

"Mei, running away from home without saying hello, isn't it a bit too ignorant? Do you know how much effort we spent to find you?"

Chris leaned close to Mei's ear and whispered like a devil.

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

Mei said tremblingly, subconsciously hugging the package in her arms that was nearly one person tall. This package had been held in her arms before, and it was always standing by her side during the competition. It can be seen that she cherished this package very much.

"Oh? Just want to participate in a competition? What a lovely wish... But who allowed you to leave without saying goodbye? 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 screamed in pain. The package 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 in front of her throat.

"Answer my questions, Mei, 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 leave home for so long?"

Chris approached Mei again, his eyes flashing with the cruel light 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.

"No!"

Mei said anxiously.

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

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

This was a long sword as tall as a person, with a purple scabbard, which was very similar to Mei's hair color. The handle was pure white, and the hilt was 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.

"Jingying Mei, the big knife twenty-one, this is your goal, right?

Mei, this is the family's precious sword, you dared to steal it, and tried to disappear with it, you are really brave. Do you know? Since the day you disappeared, my mother fell ill, she ordered us to come out to find you, and must catch you back.

So, do you have any last words? After all, when you go home with us, you may never have a chance to speak again."

Chris looked at the big man, and when he saw the big man 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 originally left to me by my grandfather, and my name was based on this knife. It's our family's thing, it's you, you took it away, I just, I just took back what belongs to me."

Mei said in a low voice.

"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 this. It was you, she who took everything away!"

Mei was still shaking her head.

"Tsk, it turns out that the family didn't educate you enough. No wonder you ran away on your own."

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

"It seems that I need to educate you again before going home, so that you won't cause trouble for us after you go back. Let me think about it. Where should I start? Well, why not carve a plum blossom on your face? It just fits your name."

As Chris said this, he suddenly exerted force in his arm and stabbed the knife at Mei's face.

Mei was shocked and subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Assholes! What are you doing to her!"

At this moment, a cry suddenly sounded, and then a cloud flew rapidly from a distance, turned into a big fist in the air, and hit the strong man hard.

The strong man was caught off guard and was knocked away by the punch, and the long sword also fell from his hand.

The cloud fell, Nami showed her true form, stretched out her hand and grabbed the mid-air, and then glared at Chris.

"Let her go!"

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

"Power user?"

Chris was surprised, and quickly pulled Mei into his arms and put the knife on her neck.

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

You are the same, and they are the same, Mei, you don't think you can resist your mother like this, right?"

Chris stared at Nami with his eyes and whispered in Mei's ear.

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

Mei shook her head repeatedly.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you say it or not... Hey, the beautiful lady across the street, can you give me 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 shouted, and the alley was surrounded by fog.

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

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Give me the knife, or she will die now."

"You..."

Nami's face changed.

"Hmm?"

Chris exerted more force on his hand.

"Don't, I'll give it to you."

Nami quickly stopped him and raised her hand to throw the long knife 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 back in shock.

The next second, a bolt of lightning swept across and landed on Chris' face, kicking him away.

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