The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 19 The bottom of the tank draws a salary and the ferocious state is revealed

   "Um, I apologize to you for what happened before."

  Beside the woods on the edge of the town,

  Roman folded his hands together, and sincerely apologized to Usopp who was downcast.

   "Let me heal your injuries as a plea. But—"

"What I said before was not a joke. The butler next to Miss Keya is the'Haiji' Klow herself. It is normal for Miss Keya to suddenly'death' suddenly if someone like him stays with him. ."

  Perhaps because of the long stay with Luffy and the others, Roman has gradually gotten into the habit of jokes. But this is not the time to be funny, because:

  "No one believes me...everyone..."

  Usop, holding the wanted order, stood in front of the Romans, holding back tears in his eyes! There was also a shot in the arm, but it was all right after Roman’s ‘paper knife’ cleaned up the wound and then wrapped it with a ‘paper bandage’.

  "Even Keya..."

   "Okay, Usopp." Nami comforted the other person, who couldn't stand it. "Maybe it's just Roman who made a mistake; maybe that Captain Crowe really got back to the right..."

  Poor Usopp, because he usually tells too many lies, this time he said the ‘truth’ but no one believed him. Even if he held Crowe's wanted warrant, he was angrily denounced as "unscrupulous" to frame the opponent.

  Well, that’s right.

   Although the young man named Usopp tells lies, he actually has three specialties: shooting, engineering, and art.

  The wanted order was mistakenly thought to be his ‘painted’...

  With this specialty, you can easily get rich by being a painter.

   "In fact, it is very simple to prove that it is really Captain Crowe."

  Romain on the side clapped his hands, attracting the attention of several people.

   "I'll just cut him with a knife."

  The captain of the Black Cat Pirates must be the captain of the Black Cat Pirates who can dodge Roman; as for the one who can’t dodge...

   "Don't worry, trust my technology.-There will never be such an oolong hacking people to death."

   "Hey hey hey, you said "hack to death" right..."

   "Then what can you do?"

  Luffy, Sauron, Nami, including Usopp all shook their heads in the face of the problem that Roman threw back. -Even if the butler is really a cruel pirate, who would believe what the few people were saying?

  What they are facing now is not a problem that can be solved by beating, hacking, stealing, and deceiving people...

   "Then...we don't care about this?"

   "Absolutely not!"

   Facing Luffy who refused without hesitation, Roman spread his hands, "So, you can't think of a way to do it, and you have to take care of this matter. It's better to:"

   "Listen to me."

  ————

  "Usopp is really..."

  In the backyard of the mansion, on the bed by the window, Keya, a weak girl who could only stay in bed for a long time because of illness, opened the book in her hand, but couldn't enter a line.

  "Why do you say that Krabatel is a pirate, but also vowed to come up with a ‘wanted order’..."

   "This joke is too much!"

  However, thinking back to the boy who insisted on telling stories every day to unravel her, the anger on the girl's face gradually disappeared and turned into a warm smile.

  "····Well, if Usopp can apologize to Krabatel, I will forgive—"

   "Kaya,"

  A familiar voice made the girl who was suffering from gains and losses come back to her senses. She turned to look at the boy with her head down outside the window, and put down her book in surprise.

   "Usopp? Your injury...cough cough,"

  The girl who realized that she had acted too ‘happy’ with a stern face, seriously admonished:

  "I know that you and Krabatel are not very close...good, but you shouldn’t be like this..."

  "Good noon, Miss Keya."

   A voice interrupted the weak girl's words, and Roman with a smile on his face stood beside Usopp with his head down.

"You are·····"

   "My name is Roman," the handsome boy introduced himself, "Tokevich Roman."

   "Is a pirate."

  ?

"what·······"

   "Then, Miss Keya."

  Roman raised his hand, and sheets of white paper fluttered out of his palm.

  "Please cooperate,"

   "Now is kidnapping time!"

  ————

The butler named Krabatel has his own separate room. Today, Usopp made a fuss with his own'wanted warrant', and later found out that the powerful group of pirates was still wandering in this small town. , Made him feel a little anxious.

  Or, postpone the action?

  Boom!

   "It's not good, Krabatel!"

  The door was pushed abruptly, and a housekeeper with sheep-shaped hair rushed in anxiously. —He is another steward of this house, named Melly.

   "Miss Keya was kidnapped!"

  ?

"what?!"

  The alias Klabatel, and the actual identity is the captain of the Black Cat Pirates (formerly), Cloo suddenly stood up! Seeing that his plan is about to be realized, the opportunity to cut off the past to become a respected gentleman is within reach, unexpectedly—

"what is the problem?"

  Merry, who was picked up by him, thought that this ‘colleague’ was just a simple caring lady, and immediately said everything:

   "It's Usopp!"

  "He colluded with the foreign pirates and kidnapped Miss Keya, and asked us to prepare a ransom—"

Snapped,

  Leaving the butler named Melly aside, the anxious Cloe turned around and grabbed a long and narrow handbag in the room and strode out! —Of course he is not worried about the owner here: Miss Keya, but:

  Damn it, you must find the pirates first!

  Otherwise, if someone else finds it first, maybe all the property here will be exchanged for the sickly waste!

   galloping out,

However, after all, this is a small town with people coming and going. Even no matter how anxious, the man named Klow has to slow down, in the words of'Mr. Krabatl', Mr. Butler, where are you going...' Zhong followed silently all the way. so:

   only gave the butler Melly a goal behind him, who was desperately chasing after him.

  ———

   "Miss Keya."

  "Please don't get excited, it will be bad for your health."

  In a clearing in the woods, Miss Keya was tied to a chair by a long strip of paper, with the same tape on her mouth. Facing Roman's words, the girl didn't feel scared, but looked at Usopp, who squinted her face and dared not look at her, with heart-ache in her eyes.

Next to    are Luffy wearing the captain's coat, Nami wearing a blindfold, and Sauron who is wiping the samurai sword. Coupled with Roman with a cold smile on his face, the breath of ‘pirate’ came to his face!

   "Don't worry, we just need a boat."

  Roman, who plays the "bad guy", sneered at the fragile and resentful girl Koya while folding a white paper origami crane.

   "When we receive the ransom, we will naturally release you."

   "Roman..."

  "Don't talk!"

   looked back and stared at Luffy, who was posing as a bitter melon face. Roman was afraid that when this guy spoke, the serious atmosphere would disappear immediately.

  ·········

"coming."

  It didn't take long for Roman to fold the paper crane in his hand, and a figure had already passed through the woods and came to this clearing.

  It was a man in a suit. He was wearing a big back, wearing glasses, and a suit. The pattern on the clothes seemed to be stool. He carried a long and narrow handbag in one hand, and held the glasses with his wrist in the other.

   "Miss Keya! I'll help—"

   "Crabatel... No, Captain Crowe."

  Roman waved his hand and interrupted the opponent's "performance"—being able to find here so quickly shows that the opponent is agile and good at tracking! But now with this heavy pace, the look of breathlessness...

  A liar?

   "Although I am very curious about you, a pirate captain, living in such a small place, but:"

   "One hundred million Baileys," Roman stretched out a finger and shook it, "As long as we take out the money, we will assume that nothing has happened. At the same time:"

   Flip the wrist of the other hand, the paper crane in his hand turns into a dagger like magic.

   "Release your lady."

  The dagger in Roman's hand was placed next to the slender neck of a girl named Keya, causing Usopp on the other side to almost take out a weapon and aim at him.

Quiet-

  The face of the man who was ‘excited’ just now turned into a gloomy expression.

   "Hey? What does Captain Crowe mean, I can't bear to—"

   "Wait, wait a minute!"

"Ha ha ha ha····"

  At this moment, a man with sheep hair ran over, also wearing a suit. At first glance, it looks like a housekeeper for a big family.

  "Please don't hurt Miss Keya,"

  The panting sheep-headed man leaned on his knees and eagerly looked at the group of ‘kidnappers’ Roman, even the ‘accomplice’ Usopp on the side ignored him.

  "Please give me some time, whether we sell the property or borrow usury, we will definitely—"

  噗!

  However, this loyal sheep butler hadn't finished speaking, and a few rays of light flashed, and he threw blood in his chest to the ground! The attacker is:

   "Those are all my money,"

  I don’t know when to take out the weapon in the handbag, the butler wearing glasses,-Captain Cloe raised his head. There is only endless indifference and murderousness in his eyes!

   "Who allowed you to save that waste, eh?"
