The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Click, click, click!

Ton ton ton——

Chew, chew~~

Cutting knife and fork, elegant and calm.

Don't get me wrong, everyone eats 'elegantly'. In fact, there is only one person in the straw hat group who can do this, and that is:

"Hey, don't choke on eating so fast."

While cutting the steak in front of him with a knife and fork, Sanji reminded Chopper who was holding chopsticks with his hands...with his hooves. As for Roman, he frowned while casually stuffing food into his mouth, still thinking about how to improve his combat effectiveness.

Continue to develop fruit ability? Or to enhance the arrogance of knowledge? As for the armed color, I still have no idea. ——What the hell is it to attack with all your heart...

If you want to develop the fruit ability, you need a strong body. But things like physical fitness can only rely on boring exercises day and night. ··········································································································································································································································································································​​

Snapped.

?

Tilting her head and glanced at Nami next to her, the orange-haired girl silently grabbed the fork that Roman handed to her mouth, and the forked bread was bright red.

"this is····?"

"Usopp~~!"

Facing Nami who turned her head expressionlessly, the Usopp next to her was numb.

"It's not me, I didn't... Luffy asked me to do it..."

·····

Are you the white lotus heroine of a romantic drama? This kind of brainless denial has come out.

Tsk, but it doesn't matter.

"It's just plain hot sauce, right?"

Stuffing the bread in his hand into his mouth without changing his expression, Roman chewed a few times and swallowed the bread mixed with a huge amount of hot sauce.

!

"Roman, you..."

"Hmph, if I can't bear this little bit of hot sauce, it means my stomach is just like that."

? ?

Did you get hit by something? It has changed from a phobia of insufficient combat power to a phobia of human beings...

Nami was speechless, she had already defeated Shichibukai's 'sand crocodile' - Crocodile, it was time to relax and celebrate. But Roman still looks tense, as if there are countless stronger enemies waiting for the Straw Hats in the future...

How is it possible.

Shaking her head, Nami threw away this strange thought.

Since I can't figure it out, it can only be attributed to Roman's simple "I don't want to be a human anymore"!

Hiss, is this the demeanor of a strong man?

———————

"Hahahaha~~~"

After a full meal, of course it is time to soak in the hot springs, but at the same time as everyone is laughing and laughing. Roman held the things in his hands and frowned thinking——

"Roman, what is this fun?"

Luffy, who snatched the 'bracelet' from Roman's hand, went limp, and slipped into the water like noodles.

"Ahhhhh, I'm so weak~~"

"Help, I'm drowning!!"

······

Can you drown in a hot spring pool with a height of half a person? What's the matter--

?

Looking at Luffy who was paralyzed in the pool and couldn't get up to spit bubbles, Zoro and the others felt that something was wrong and hurriedly 'fished' up Luffy who was limp into a puddle.

"this is·····?"

"This is a wristband inlaid with Hailou Stone."

Roman took the 'iron ring' from Sauron, and a feeling of extreme weakness immediately flowed through his body! It's like holding a heavy weight in your hands! This wristband is inlaid with sea tower stones one after another. As for the source: of course it was sponsored by the "generous" Crocodile.

You must know that Hailou Stone is a scarce resource! The cage in the Crocodile Rain Banquet is just an alloy iron cage inlaid with Hailou stone particles. Where is it so luxurious that it can be made entirely of Hailou stone?

So Roman asked the king's army to remove the sea tower stone particles on it, and quickly forged a few 'wristguards'.

It was this thing in his hand.

"These bracelets are inlaid with Hailou stone particles, which can greatly suppress the physical strength of devil fruit users."

"But on the other hand, it is an excellent training equipment for those with devil fruit abilities."

As Roman said, he glanced to the side, making Luffy, who was performing "Old Dragon Spit Water" naked, question marks.

The "future" Luffy moved bricks with "Magneto" Kidd in Kaido's labor reform site with Hailoushi handcuffs. Not only did he exercise a good physique, he even learned how to use high-level armed colors... ·Won the reputation of "King of Moving Bricks".

Kaido's training site, the ability users who have tried it say it is good!

"And as a devil fruit capable user,"

Roman's "paper fruit" is more of a creation than a superhuman physique, and when he eats the fruit, his own strength is already close to 30 million, so Hai Loushi's suppression of him has not reached the point of being "immobilized". But Luffy just...

"The sea and sea floor stones are the absolute weaknesses! There is no way to deal with sea water, but things like sea floor stones can be resistant to them through exercise."

And there is another point, Blackbeard's "Dark Fruit" can invalidate the abilities of other fruits, which is very similar to the effect of Hailou Stone. It is also necessary to do targeted training in advance...

Crash! !

A head of hot water was poured on Roman's head, interrupting his thinking.

"Hahahaha, Roman, you bastard,"

Luffy laughed wildly with his hips on his hips, revealing his twelve shining teeth.

"I think about combat power and combat power all day long~~~"

"Everyone's 'frank and honest', so we can't let go of our worries and play happily~~~"

·······

"No way, I want to see the day when your dreams come true."

If you don't have enough strength...forget it, since you want to relax.

"Hmph," Roman said with an evil smile, "You actually underestimate the exercise equipment I specially made, so I'll let you know what 'horror' is!"

"Look at the trick, 'Paper Dance-Hailou Stone Handcuffs'! Hahahaha, drown in your own bath water~~~"

"Ahhh, I feel like my body is being hollowed out..."

Gulu, Gulu, Gulu~~~

"Luffy, Luffy, wake up!"

"Doctor, come quickly~~~"

"Aren't you a doctor?!"

—————

"Really, can't these boys be quieter?"

On the other side, Nami, who was enjoying Weiwei's back rub, complained and looked around enviously.

"It would be great if there was a boat with a hot spring."

"There must be," Weiwei recalled this journey that was short but full of surprises. "Giants, dinosaurs, cherry blossoms in snow mountains..."

"Compared to these, the boat with hot springs seems very ordinary."

"Right."

"Come on, it's my turn to rub your back."

While rubbing Weiwei's back, Nami said as if nothing had happened.

"We're going to leave tonight."

? !

Jiebai's back froze suddenly. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, Weiwei still didn't expect it to be so soon.

"I can no longer..."

"Well, there are more than 30 naval warships gathered outside," Nami shrugged, her hands resting, "and the captain is already awake, we have to continue our journey."

"······yes,"

———————

"Hey, hey, is it fake?"

The captain of the Kingdom Guard, Icarem, and the vice-captains Jaka and Bell looked at the reward order on the table, and they were all shocked and angry!

"How could...the navy move so fast?!"

"With such a high reward, the generals of the navy will also dispatch..."

On the table are two wanted warrants: one is 'Roronoa-Zoro' offering a reward of 60 million, and the other is: 'Monkey-D-Luffy' offering a reward of 100 million!

What is the concept of 100 million?

Let the head of the Silver Light Pirates not hesitate to destroy all his crew members, a devil fruit that can endow all kinds of strange abilities, and the entire wealth of a nobleman in the kingdom...

It is also a symbol of the 'big pirate'!

On the great route, only a reward of hundreds of millions can be considered number one.

"Damn, they have to be notified immediately—"

Icarem, who grabbed the reward order and rushed to the Straw Hats' room, suddenly pushed open the door, but under the moonlight, there was only a row of neat beds, and:

"Princess Vivi, where are Luffy and the others?"

"Of course I went to sea,"

The blue-haired princess sitting on the chair with her knees folded lowered her eyes.

"Because they are pirates."

———————

buzz buzz ~~~

Amid the sound of high-speed propeller rotation, the 'Paper Dance-Boeing 747' was just gliding peacefully over Alabasta.

"Nami, are you alright?"

In the cabin, everyone sat or stood, leaned or slept, only Nami bowed her head in silence.

"How about sharing a piece of my meat with you,"

This is Luffy with a look of reluctance.

"Are you thinking about Weiwei? No wonder." Sanji rarely smoked, "But... Weiwei still bears the fate of a country..."

The other people also had the same serious expression. Although they all regarded Weiwei as a partner, the identity of the other party was doomed...

"No, my heart hurts."

"What about the Billion Bailey who agreed to help Vivi defeat the crocodile..."

? ? ! !

this········

"So you were thinking about this!"

"Give back our sorrow, hello!"

"Hahaha~~ Otherwise, what do you think I'm thinking? I don't know why Weiwei can't go to sea with us~~"

Soon, everyone who had been partying all day fell asleep. A figure in a suit quietly walked towards the 'cab' ahead.

"Roman."

"Well, what's the matter, Sanji."

Facing Roman who was "flying the plane", Sanji hesitated for a while, not knowing how to speak, and finally gritted his teeth.

"It's about Nami..."

"I know."

? !

"you know?"

Sanji's eyes were solemn, and slowly became angry.

"You shouldn't doubt my IQ—"

Boom!

Roman's back slammed into the wall of the plane, and Sanji picked up his collar!

"Since you know everything? You still—"

"Woo~"

The sound of turning over came from the cabin, and Nami's unconscious voice made Sanji's movements stagnate.

········

"Roman, what do you mean?!"

"Don't tell me that you have a fiancée, or say——you don't like Nami?"

"of course not,"

"Nami is an excellent girl, and I know what she wants. But..."

Roman sighed, "The reason is a bit complicated, just pretend that I don't have time to think about these issues..."

"for--"

Facing Roman who didn't want to talk, Sanji finally let go of his collar and turned around.

"I don't know what you're afraid of, Roman."

"Obviously you are not even afraid of sand crocodiles, why are you afraid of facing your own feelings?"

"Anyway, this is something that happened between you and Nami. I shouldn't have asked about it. But—gentleman, don't hurt a girl's heart."

Facing Sanji who went back to sleep, Roman rubbed his chin and smiled wryly.

In the previous life, I often saw those slogans that shouted "XX is not destroyed, why is it home?" Now, should I also shout "If you don't become a general, why should you be home"?

"Strength, strength,"

If you have the strength of a general... no, even if the Qiwuhai is strong, Roman will not deliberately turn a blind eye. However, only Roman knows how many powerful enemies are waiting for the Straw Hats ahead, maybe it shouldn't be in the first place...

"What are you thinking?"

Roman shook his head mockingly.

If there were no Straw Hats, I would have become a 'Blackbeard 2.0' by now. Since I chose to stand in the sun, I have to bear the corresponding price.

"Sorry, Nami... at least wait until the top is over."

PS: I always feel that you are going to scold me~~~ But, for things like feelings, take your time. Swearing to each other as soon as we meet, that's just a greedy person~~~Of course, if everyone objects to writing like this, and tomorrow's grades are too bad, I will remake this chapter.
