Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

Cactus Island, Whiskey Mountain, a place that is very famous in the first half of the Grand Line, where a large number of bounty hunters live.

Nami learned about the existence of this island from Crocus's introduction, and was obviously interested, so Remos suggested to come here for a visit.

Anyway, it's not far away, only a day's sailing from Gemini Cape, and he is more interested in Baroque Studio, which is also one of the bases of Baroque Studio.

The boss behind Baroque Studio is none other than Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

In short, Cactus Island is not far away, and Remos and Nami are both interested in it, so they took a little detour and came here for a stroll before going to the small garden.

Whiskey Mountain is the name of the town. The size of the town is OK, and the population is not small, but compared with the town in the East China Sea, the townspeople here seem to be more martial. Along the way, almost everyone Remos and Nami saw carried a weapon, either a gun or a knife. A few minutes ago, they also saw a giant carrying a huge stone pillar as a weapon.

Don't get me wrong, this is not Urouge, one of the supernovas, and this person is not a real giant, but he is taller and stronger than ordinary people.

"It's worthy of being the Grand Line. The people here look so powerful."

Nami sighed.

The average strength of the bounty hunters who can appear here is indeed far superior to that of the East China Sea, but compared with Remos, they are still far behind.

The two walked around the town for a long time and finally found a bar and planned to go in for a drink.

Because this whole town is made up of bounty hunters and all kinds of miscellaneous people, the most lacking thing here is bars, and only drinks can calm these energetic guys down.

The two stood on the street and struggled for a long time.

Nami likes bars with fewer people, while Remos likes cleaner places. These two points don't seem to conflict, but it's really hard to satisfy them at the same time.

After struggling for a long time, the two chose a bar called Elegant Rose. When they were about to push the door to go in.

The wooden door of another bar next door was suddenly knocked open, and a young man suddenly ran out from the ground, holding a wooden box in his arms.

As a result, he ran into a cart passing through the street after just two steps. When the box in his hand flew out, the cart was also knocked over on the spot, and the wooden boxes on it rolled all over the ground.

The wooden box that flew out of the young man's arms looked very similar to other wooden boxes. His fall caused the two to mix together and immediately became difficult to distinguish.

"Damn..."

The young man also noticed this. He just wanted to find his own wooden box from this pile of identical wooden boxes, but a large number of people rushed out of the bar behind him, chasing him with long guns and short guns.

The young man had no choice but to get up from the ground, not wanting the box anymore, and left with his arms folded.

A group of people chased after him, and both sides soon disappeared.

The porter who was knocked over suffered an unexpected disaster. He got up from the ground with a dusty face and began to pick up the boxes scattered on the ground.

When he was about to reach out to one of them, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him, with a coin of 500 berries in the palm.

"I want this box."

The porter looked up in astonishment.

"Uh, sir, this is just an ordinary box."

"I know, but I like it very much and want to buy it. Don't you plan to sell it?"

Remos shook his palm, "500 berries to buy you a box, you don't want it? Forget it if you don't want it."

As he said that, he was about to take his hand back.

"Sell, sell, sell, sell. I'll sell it if you want it."

A wooden box like this costs at most one hundred berries, and it's less than three hundred including the shipping fee. Now someone is paying five hundred for it. Only a fool would not sell it.

The porter happily picked up the coins, and Remos bent down and picked up the small box.

After the two of them walked away, Nami suddenly asked Remos quietly.

"This box... is it dropped by the young man just now?"

"Yes, I've been staring at it. Although these boxes look similar, you see, only this box is locked, and there is a small pattern on it."

Remos pointed to a corner of the box and said.

"...You have a good eye."

Nami sighed, and then her expression changed, "Hurry up and open the box to see what's inside. The man held the box so tightly, there must be something valuable inside."

"That's why I bought this box."

Remos smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to break the lock, and slowly opened the box.

The two looked out, Nami's expression was full of confusion, and Remos's face changed.

"What is this..."

Nami looked at the things in the box in confusion, and then looked at Remos.

"Devil fruit."

Remos whispered.

"Ah? This... is this the devil fruit?"

Nami was shocked. The devil fruit is said to be worth 100 million. She has never seen a real devil fruit in her life, but she didn't expect to see it here.

It looks like a pear, but it is white all over, covered with spiral patterns, like pieces of cotton.

"What should I do? Should I eat this fruit?"

Remos looked at Nami and asked.

No matter what kind of fruit this is, as long as it is a fruit, it will always be good to eat it.

Nami currently has no combat power at all, and her self-protection ability is almost zero. If she eats this fruit, apart from anything else, her combat power will definitely be greatly improved in a short time.

"Forget it, forget it. That person has been holding the box in his arms. Obviously, this fruit is very important to him... Or, let's return the fruit?"

It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted by something worth 100 million yuan, but Nami thought about it and gritted her teeth to speak out her thoughts.

Although she loves money, she doesn't want this kind of money.

Remos smiled slightly and closed the small wooden box again.

"I'll listen to you."

"Do you know where that person is now?"

Nami resisted the urge not to look at the small wooden box, but looked at Remos.

"Of course, I can see the traces of their running. Let's go this way."

Remos took Nami and chased in the direction where the two groups ran away. They took many turns along the way and soon left the main street of the town and entered a residential area.

Not long after entering the residential area, a sharp gunshot came from not far away. The two looked at each other and immediately quickened their pace and rushed in the direction of the gunshot.
