The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 163 Never Give Up After Safety

  The night has passed,

  Light is coming again.

   "Ah, what about Usopp?"

  Luffy riding on Chopper asked around.

   "Where did he go!?"

  In the previous decisive battle, Usopp threw his mask to cheer Luffy with excitement, but now he calmed down...

  ‘Hey, Luffy called you. ’

  Sanji abducted the "King Sniper" who put on a mask next to him, but King Sniper...or Usopp shook his head like a windmill.

  ‘No...No...I said something like that...’

   "Ahem, Usopp has gone back in a boat."

  Luffy and Chopper were shocked when facing the Sniper King who was putting on the mask again.

"Why!"

  "After all, this is his boat~~"

  "——How did you two record Usopp's characteristics?" Sauron, who was holding his hand next to him, couldn't complain.

   "Sure enough, there is no one."

  Nami came out and rubbed her forehead after turning around in the cabin.

  "I clearly heard a voice..."

   "Yes, I also heard a voice saying that they came to pick us up—"

   "Roman, wasn't your white knight sailing at that time?"

  Faced with other people's problems, Roman at the helm rolled his eyes.

   "I was so entangled by a group of colonels that I didn't even have a chance to get out to help Luffy. Is there still room to sail?"

   "I said it was Melly~~" Luffy said to everyone without hesitation, but this kind of thing...

"thank you all,"

  The intellectual beauty Nicole Robin put her hands in front of her, bowing her head to the people on the deck.

   "You saved me."

  "Hehehe, we are partners! It's too strange to say that~~~"

  Faced with the straw hat group full of laughter and warm friendship, Frankie, who was leaning on the side of the ship, held up his sunglasses, and the black lenses were full of envy.

   "Hey? A boat is coming up ahead?"

   "Is it the navy!"

  The Straw Hat regiment, which had just gone through a big battle, is on alert again, and it is indeed a ship that is very similar in appearance to a navy warship. ——Because they are originally produced by the same company.

   "It's a Carrera ship."

  Franky’s words made everyone relaxed, and the bandaged Mayor of Iceberg and his boatmen were on the huge ship that began to slow down.

   "Oh oh oh, it's the straw hat group!"

   "You guys are still alive~~~ great~~~"

   "I passed the tsunami, broke into the Judicial Island, and brought my companions back...you really have you!!"

  In the cheers of everyone, the Golden Meri slowly approached the huge repair ship of Carrera. Roman observed the expression of the uncle mayor: there was no trace of anxiety or worry.

  Then explain:

   "Mr. Bingshan, did a group of people also break into the Judicial Island after we left?"

  Frankie's face changed when he said this!

  During the previous battle, I did hear the navy say that a group of people rushed into the Judicial Island. It was too late to think about it at that time, now think about it carefully. He will appear on Judicial Island at this time, and it is very likely his subordinates: the Frankies.

   "Ah, it's okay."

  Uncle Bingberg waved his hand in the bandage.

  "Because the people of the world government drove the sea train forcibly, our capital of seven waters sent ‘artisans’ to catch up and provide technical support to those laymen."

  As expected of the mayor, he has a first-rate ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

   "Although there was a little conflict, but fortunately, I contacted the navy in time, so the misunderstanding was resolved."

  After finishing talking, he blinked at Frankie, with an expression that you can rest assured.

   "Woo woo woo~~ Bingberg, you bastard!!"

  The tearful Franky wiped his face.

   "And those guys, they are all bastards~~~ I didn't cry! I didn't cry at all!"

   "By the way, the straw hat group."

  Iceberg looked at the people on the deck.

   "Come on to my boat."

  ? ?

   "Your ship can no longer sail."

  "How is it possible! Melly took us through the tsunami and broke into the Judicial Island! Saved us again, we--"

   "But, he has reached his limit."

  Bingberg looked at Roman at the helm.

  "This little brother, can you remove your ‘ability’?"

  ·····

"Can."

  As the paper covering the Golden Meri returned to Roman like a low tide, what was revealed was:

"is that a lie,"

   Nami covering her mouth;

"Hey,"

  Sanji who smokes silently;

   "Merry!"

  Weeping U... Sniper King and Chopper.

as well as:

  The silent Luffy, Sauron, Robin.

  Only Roman at the helm silently shook the palm of his hand. The reason why he drank the'Cell Will Awakening Potion' in such a hurry, wasn't it just for this moment?

"This is a miracle,"

  Iceberg looked at the mess of iron plates barely glued together, and there were sailboats with cracked arms everywhere. Even if it disintegrated in the next second, it wouldn't be surprising.

  "I have been a boatman for so many years, and I have never seen such a tenacious boat."

   "It-not humiliating the mission!"

  However, it has reached its limit.

  As the Carrera company’s big ship lowered the lifting platform, everyone went to the platform and turned to face the scarred Golden Meri.

'sorry····'

  A voice rang in the ears of everyone in the straw hat group.

  ‘I really want to continue the adventure with you, but I...’

  "It is us who should say sorry!!!"

  Luffy cried bitterly at the Golden Meri.

   "It's me who wants to go to the sky island! It's I who often want you to drive beyond the limit and break the sails..."

  "Sauron and Sanji are idiots, always doing damage..."

   "Roman's paper can't eliminate the impact..."

   "Although Usopp fixes you every time, his skills are terrible..."

   "It is us who should say sorry!!"

  ‘But I’m very happy,’

  Although I met a group of adventurers who often fall into danger to "self", they also sincerely regard the Golden Merley as their "home" partners.

  ‘Thank you for being so kind to me——’

   "Ohhhhhh!!!"

  "Merry, wow wow~~~"

  ·······

   "Hey, hey, what are you crying for."

  Seeing that everyone started to cry, Roman had to interrupt their ‘goodbye’.

  "Are you forgetful in fighting? One of the purposes of our entry into Judicial Island is to solve the problem of the Merley?"

  ? ? ?

   "Oh, Roman, do you have a way?" X3

  Faced with the straw hat Sanshou who was holding his thigh, Roman rubbed his temple.

  This is less than a day, right? The method I just told you yesterday, do you think I was lying to you? ——Although there are a little twists and turns in the middle, the result is still perfect...

   "Melly, have you forgotten my "dream"?"

  Romain opened his arms.

   "My dream, but watching the dreams of my friends come true!-that of course also includes you, Melly."

  ! !

   "So, you just feel wronged for a while."

  As Roman extended his right hand to the broken Golden Merley, a big iron barrel-like mouth appeared in his palm.

  "Return of life--"

  With Roman's ability to activate, the big mouth in his palm changes from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and it rises at the sight of the wind! As he stretched forward, he became a huge mouth like a sea king.

   "Tun Tun Factory!"

  噗!

  With this big mouth, the Golden Meri was swallowed in one bite, and then quickly shrunk back and turned into a picture in the palm of Roman.

   "Ahhhhh, you ate Meli!"

   "Woo hoo, return me Melly!!"

   "Mr. Roman is a bad guy!"

  ·······

   "Don't make trouble, have you forgotten that Valbo can perfectly blend the two people?"

   "As long as there is a strong enough ship to merge with Merley, it will be able to keep the Merley alive."

  And Roman has also considered the problems that may arise in the future, and he will definitely be able to make Meli accompany the straw hat group to the end of the world...

   "Oh, Romain is too reliable~~~"

   "Wow, roman, my superman~~~"

   "Woo, I blamed Mr. Roman by mistake~~~"

  !

   "Enough! Don't wipe your nose on me!!"

   "What's the matter, Roman, aren't you all paper on your body?-Give us some napkins~~"

"roll!!"

It really is····

Frankie next to    calmly hugged his arms, tears streaming from under the sunglasses.

  A group of moving bastards!
