Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

Remos and his party followed Jaka out of the port and came to an inconspicuous small warehouse, which contained several large boxes, which were supplies for Remos and his party. In addition, there was a huge duck.

"Quack——"

When the duck saw Vivi, it immediately rushed over with tears in its eyes. Vivi's eyes were also red, and she ran over to hug the duck.

"Karu——"

She called the other party's name affectionately.

Don't get me wrong, this duck does not refer to a special worker, but a duck in the literal sense of biological attributes.

The fast-running duck, a species unique to Alabasta, looks like a duck, but runs very fast. It is the fastest animal in the entire kingdom.

The one that Vivi is holding now is called Karu, the captain of the "Super Fast-Running Duck Force". This force can almost be regarded as the exclusive mount of the Alabasta royal family. To be more precise, it is Vivi's exclusive mount. After all, at Cobra's age, no matter what, he should not ride a duck around the world.

Kalu the Runner and Vivi have a deep relationship. In the original work, it sneaked into Baroque Works with Vivi. Later, when Vivi briefly joined the Straw Hat Pirates, Kalu also became a member. It also played a crucial role in the battle with Crocodile and Baroque Works.

Later, when the Straw Hat Pirates left Alabasta, Garp also said goodbye to Luffy and others as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates with Vivi.

Not long ago, when Remos saw Vivi, he was also curious about where Kalu had gone, but he couldn't ask directly, after all, he shouldn't have known Vivi before that.

Later, it was Vivi who took the initiative to explain.

She said that she had another companion who was sent back to Alabasta because of illness, and hoped that Remos and Nami would not be too surprised when they saw it later.

She didn't say what kind of creature the companion was at the time, but Remos knew very well that Vivi should be talking about Kalu the Runner.

Now that he finally saw the real person, Remos's reaction was calm, but Nami was different, with surprise written all over her face.

"Vivi, the companion you mentioned, isn't it this duck?"

"That's it, Vivi, let me introduce you, this is Kalu, my best friend, who grew up with me... Kalu, this is Nami, and this is Remos, my new friend."

"Quack!"

When Kalu heard this, he quickly raised his wings and saluted Nami.

"Wow! It's so cute!"

Nami's eyes immediately began to light up, and she screamed, ran over to hug Kalu and stroked him up and down.

Remos watched them play with a smile on his face, and after a while, he cleared his throat.

"Okay, let's talk business."

"Oh, yes, there's business."

Vivi came back to her senses and quickly looked at Kaka.

"Uncle Gaka, is there any unusual movement on Crocodile's side?"

"No, Princess Vivi, our people have been monitoring the entire Baroque Works. At present, Baroque Works is the same as usual, and there is no abnormality. But... Princess, you know, Crocodile is a Shichibukai after all, and our people really can't monitor him..."

At this point, Gaka's face showed a trace of guilt.

But this is also a fact. Although he is known as the guardian of the kingdom, his strength is just average. It is impossible for him to rush into the headquarters of Baroque Works and arrest people directly.

And Crocodile lives in seclusion, and it is difficult to monitor his every move from the outside.

"I understand, as long as there is no abnormality in Baroque Works, what about father? How is the situation?"

"Your Majesty is fine, Bell is responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety."

"Uncle Bell? Then I feel relieved... By the way, the rebels..."

Vivi paused, and finally asked.

The biggest problem of the kingdom now is that Crocodile is hiding in the dark and making trouble. The people, without knowing the reason, regard the kingdom as an enemy and form a rebel army to fight against the kingdom army.

What's more terrible is that the leader of the rebel army is her childhood friend. Not only the leader, but many members of the rebel army were members of the Sand Sand Group back then, and Vivi also joined them back then.

It's a pity that time has passed, and the friends back then have all become enemies now, but Vivi can't hate them yet, because she knows very well that the emergence of the rebel army is ultimately due to dissatisfaction with the current situation of the kingdom. Crocodile is undoubtedly the culprit, but the kingdom itself also has a lot of responsibility.

She didn't want to think about the problems related to the rebel army before. She naively thought that everything could change as long as Crocodile was eliminated, but now as she gets older, she already knew that governing a country is not such a simple matter, and the conflict between the rebels and the kingdom cannot be explained in a few words.

Gaka was very happy that Princess Vivi was more mature than before. He answered Vivi's question without hesitation.

"The rebels have been very quiet recently. They just fought with the kingdom army not long ago. Both sides suffered losses. Now they have retreated to Cartleya and have no other actions for the time being."

"Then... Kosha..."

Vivi struggled for a while and finally asked.

Gaka didn't have any other reaction.

"He is fine. The generals who led the troops this time found him, but failed to catch him. He ran back, and it is said that he was not injured. Others were injured..."

Remos could clearly see that Vivi was relieved.

"Okay, Uncle Gaka, I know the situation. I'll leave the next thing to you. I hope you can continue to keep an eye on the situation of Baroque Works."

"Princess Vivi, why don't you let me follow you?"

Gaka asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Although my strength is not as good as Crocodile, one more person should give me more confidence, right? Princess, it's too dangerous for the three of you to deal with Crocodile."

"It's a bit dangerous, but I believe in Remos and Nami, and the more people there are, the easier it is for Crocodile to find out in advance. If he runs away, it will be troublesome. Don't worry, we are not fighting alone. The navy has also sent reinforcements. Crocodile is a Shichibukai selected by the World Government. If such a big thing happens, the World Government will definitely give an explanation."

Vivi said with a smile.

Of course, it is impossible to expect the World Government to give a direct explanation. At most, it will give some compensation.

Gaka nodded and stopped persuading.

Then Vivi took Kalu, Remos, and Nami and each took supplies and walked all the way north.
