Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

"I've heard of your name for a long time. Are you interested in joining CP9?"

At the dock, the navy soldiers delivered boxes of banknotes to the Liberty. Spandam, who was standing next to them, suddenly spoke to Remos beside him.

Nami showed a surprised expression and subconsciously looked at Remos.

Remos smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Commander Spandam, but we are used to freedom. I am worried that I will not be able to do well if you let us serve the World Government. If I accidentally bump into the Celestial Dragons, I will be guilty."

In fact, Spandam just said it casually. Not everyone can join the CP organization.

Its members are either orphans who have been raised since childhood, such as Lucci and other CP9 members, or descendants of internal personnel, such as Spandam himself, who took over the job of his father Spandine.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to join the CP directly, and the World Government is also not confident that outsiders can enter the CP.

Reminded by Remos, Spandam also came back to his senses and shuddered.

"That makes sense. Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. You have ordered the money. If there is no problem, leave Judicial Island quickly."

Spandam waved his hand and drove Remos and Nami away.

Remos and Nami didn't waste any words. They boarded the Liberty and sailed away from Judicial Island.

"It's a pity that such a good combat power can't be used by me."

Staring at the Liberty going away, Spandam sighed.

On the Liberty, Nami also raised her doubts.

"Is this person mentally ill? Why did he suddenly remember to invite us?"

"Who knows."

Remos shrugged.

He could probably guess the reason. It was nothing more than that the people of CP9 were not in a good position. They hadn't received the design drawings of Pluto for such a long time. Spandam was eager to make a contribution and couldn't wait.

But he had no other power except those CP9 agents. It was natural for him to be tempted when he saw wild strongmen like Remos and Nami.

But how could Remos defect to the World Government? If he wanted to, he would have defected to the Navy.

Starting with Smoker, he has received several invitations from the Navy in a row. Compared with the World Government, the Navy is more representative of justice, although there are various problems within the Navy.

But Remos doesn't even look down on the Navy, let alone the World Government. Who would like to add some nagging to his head out of thin air? Isn't it good to be a bounty hunter and be free?

It's also fortunate that Remos doesn't look down on the pirate business from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would have jumped directly to the pirates as soon as he came across. In this way, the Navy and the World Government would have to add another opponent that gave them a headache.

No words along the way.

The Freedom returned along the original route along the railroad. This time, they finally officially entered the Seven Water City.

The prototype of the Seven Waters is the water city of Venice, but if you only look at the appearance, Remos can't see what the relationship between this place and Venice is. Maybe it's because the city is full of waterways?

The Seven Waters looks like a huge cake, with a high bulge in the middle and a smooth and low terrain around it.

Under the command of the navigator, the Liberty entered the No. 2 dock of the Carrera Shipbuilding Company. After the towing rope was untied, the pirate ship that had been towing behind it was directly sent to the trading dock next door for price evaluation.

Remos asked when he was on Judicial Island, and the other party said that he didn't care. He took it away as he brought it over. The pirates on the ship can be taken by Judicial Island, and the corresponding bounty is given according to the pirates' bounty order.

As for this pirate ship, Remos and his team can deal with it at will. He and Nami had a brief discussion and finally decided to sell it directly.

The ship was not a good ship, much worse than the Liberty, but at least it still had some value. We couldn't just abandon it or burn it.

The property on the ship had been transferred to the Liberty early in the morning. Unfortunately, these pirates were all poor. Apart from some food and drinks, the most valuable thing was a scimitar that was not even a famous sword, and a small amount of gold.

After handing the Liberty over to Carrera Company for maintenance, Remos took Nami out of the dock and headed straight to the interior of the Seven Waters.

"That dock is so big."

Nami couldn't help but exclaimed after leaving the dock for a long time.

"Of course, this should be the largest shipbuilding company in the Seven Waters. It is said that it is a company directly managed by the mayor. The level is definitely this!"

Remos gave a thumbs up.

"But the price is also very expensive. Just to maintain and repair the Liberty, it actually costs 20 million berries. This money is enough to buy another ship."

Nami felt a little distressed.

"There is nothing we can do about it. The prices in the Grand Line are higher than those in the East China Sea. If we buy a new ship directly, 20 million berries won't come down... Well, don't feel bad about the money. At worst, we can just buy a new ship. We don't need this little money anyway."

Remos consoled.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

Nami suddenly stopped and thought while stroking her chin.

"Huh? Are you really going to buy a ship directly?"

Remos was shocked. He thought Nami would feel bad about the money and not do it, but now it seems that she is obviously tempted.

"Think about it carefully. It will cost us tens of millions to repair the ship, and the Liberty was originally an old ship that Smoker gave us to pay off our debts. It has many problems.

If we sell the Liberty, and then use the money and the money we have in hand to buy a newer and better ship, it is actually possible, right?

The new boat is sturdier and doesn't require frequent maintenance, so when you think about it, you can actually save a lot of money. "

Nami's talent for calculating was activated, and she quickly weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

In fact, there was no need to think about it. Although buying a new ship was expensive, the new ship was of good quality and did not need maintenance for a long time.

In contrast, the Liberty needed maintenance so often now. Although the cost was not much each time, it was not a small number when added up.

"Remos, I, I want to change to a new ship..."

The more Nami thought about it, the more excited she became. She looked at Remos nervously, fearing that Remos would refuse.

Remos quickly calculated in his mind.

His own savings, plus the bounties of Crocodile and others, the gold obtained from Sky Island, and the subsequent bounties and the money from selling the two ships, could barely make up 600 million berries.

This money was more than the cost of the Thousand Mile Sunshine.

Remos and Nami did not need such a large ship, so it was no problem to get a ship of the same quality but smaller.

"Then change it."

Remos smiled slightly.
