The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 59 The White Iron Pirate Crisis Situation

  In the wind and snow, the Golden Merley,

  The huge white mainsail was full of wind, pushing the ship forward.

  Since I decided to find a doctor first, of course I couldn’t follow the original route. So now, in fact, Roman and others don't know what sea area they are in. Fortunately, there is something like the "Permanent Pointer" of Alabastan, and they are not afraid of getting lost. but:

   "Looking aimlessly like this...by luck?"

  Nami is already asleep, ——Roman asked Marianu to give her a ‘leisure green’ soothing spirit, and at the same time asked Sanji and Lu Xingya to run fast to take care of her. So the things of sailing and identifying the route fell to Roman and Vivi.

   "It's not just luck,"

  Weiwei, who put on a winter outfit, shook her head.

  "The wind and snow in the surrounding seas have lasted for a day and a night. This situation shows that there must be a ‘Winter Island’ nearby."

"On the great route, many islands will show the natural phenomenon of only one'season' all year round. We generally name them'Spring Island, Summer Island, Autumn Island, and Winter Island' after the present seasons. ···"

  Weiwei, who knows the great route best, continues to explain.

   "No matter what kind of island it is, there will be humans. Even if it is a winter island full of wind and snow all year."

   "Well, in other words, we only need to find that Winter Island to find a doctor."

  Roman relaxes, because he remembers that Drum Kingdom is a winter island covered with snow and ice all year round, and Chopper is a blue-nosed reindeer who accidentally eats the'fruit of everyone'. From this point of view, there is no problem with their medical treatment.

  Speaking of which, if someone ate the devil fruit, how should they introduce themselves?

  ——I am everyone who eats everyone’s fruits?

  Master?···

Um?

  Roman let go of the paper cranes hovering in the surrounding sky. News came, and he turned his head to look at the front of the Golden Meri. At the same time, Sauron, who was at the top of the mast, also put down the telescope in his hand, and asked the people on the deck with a look of confusion.

"you····"

  "Have you seen anyone who can stand on the sea?"

This····

   "Anyone with Devil Fruit Ability?"

  Usopp raised his head and replied, as the so-called unknown, quantum power...cough cough, fruit power. As long as it is more than ‘common sense’, it will be treated as devil fruit. but:

   "You can't touch the sea water for those with Devil Fruit ability?"

  There are two Devil Fruit capable people on the Golden Meri, so of course they are also very aware of the defects of Devil Fruit. Sea water and sea building stones...

  So what will it be?

  As the Golden Meri proceeded all the way, a court jester carrying a bow and arrow appeared in the eyes of everyone, as expected, as Sauron said: He was standing on the sea like that——

   "No, there is something under his feet!"

  Roman pointed to the sea under the opponent's feet. If you look closely, you will find a huge shadow below.

  In other words: this palace clown-like guy is not standing on the sea, but on ‘something’ in the sea.

   "Well, is it a pirate ship?"

  Facing the oncoming Golden Merley, the court jester carrying a bow and arrow just nodded calmly.

   "The Pirate Banner that I haven't seen is probably a rookie who just entered the great route, just a trash—"

  Although the opponent’s judgment is largely ‘correct’, the analysis of strength is just...

   "Take it as food for adults, otherwise the adults are extremely hungry and don't know what they will eat."

  Speaking inexplicably, the court jester tapped his feet with his heels, and the special rhythm was obviously sending a secret signal.

  ?

  Roman frowned and immediately used his ability to control the sails of the Golden Meri to turn abruptly, forcibly slowing the ship! Because:

  Wow!

  Amidst the surging sea, the court jester standing on the sea ‘rises from the ground’, and a behemoth emerges under his feet! Sure enough, as Roman said, he was not standing on the sea, but standing:

  The top of the mast!

  This is a huge submarine····Watermelon? Or the ship? Well, the science and technology tree in this world is so messed up, it's not unusual for anything to appear. However, as the iron ship in front of you opened like a lotus flower, many soldiers on the deck were revealed and:

   "Wow ha ha ha, unseen buns!"

  An ugly man who was eight feet tall and eight feet tall in the true sense laughed.

  He is fat and ugly. The hair is dark purple, the mouth is huge, the chin is followed by a cylindrical tin plate, and his body is covered with plate armor and oranges. It looks really like a human three-pointer and a monster-seventh.

   "This is the large diving surprise sailing ship "Iron Barrel"! Then:"

He took a bite of the meat in his hand, and even the knife with the meat was bitten into pieces by him. The whole body was covered with iron oranges like iron buckets, and he was dressed in huge animal fur. He glanced at the people on the deck.

   "Are you going to the Drum Kingdom?"

  "Record pointer or permanent pointer, take it out—"

  However, seeing the dazed expressions of Luffy and others, the ugly fat iron squeaked.

"There's none?"

   "If it weren't for that guy, I wouldn't... forget it!"

  He waved his hand and announced loudly:

   "You are unlucky when you meet our'White Iron Pirates'."

   "Now is pirate time! Your ships and treasures are—"

  Boom!

  In the sound of howling, a figure smashed like a cannonball next to this guy who looked like an iron barrel! The other party couldn't even speak. ——Of course, Roman is not prepared to listen to his nonsense.

  Paper Dance-Knife!

  Five fingers, and the sharp sailor knife fell into Roman's hand. Before the opponent could react, it fell abruptly!

  The knives are as powerful as a horse! In an instant, the barrel guy who was arrogantly announcing the ‘robbery’ was slashed cleanly, and then stepped on the opponent’s cheek, controlling his biggest weapon, ‘mouth’, and then:

  "Paper Dance-Maple Dance!"

  A piece of white paper appeared next to Roman, and it began to spin at high speed as soon as it was formed! Then, like a flywheel, they whirled and cut to the soldiers who came from all directions, and instantly emptied a large area of ​​the surrounding deck in the blood of howling and screaming.

  The smooth white paper is all dyed red, like a maple leaf!

  This is because Roman controlled the strength, otherwise it would not be a scream but a lot of meat on the ground...

  "The Devil Fruit Ability One?"

  "Call Lord Valbo--"

   "The adult is at the foot of the opponent!"

  ·····

   "You don't need to deal with pirates without morality, everyone should go together..."

  Roman, who captured the opponent's leader with a preemptive move, looked at the pirates who were coming up again...well, uniform clothes and uniform weapons. He is clearly a regular soldier of the country, but now he has fallen so bad that he is not even as good as a pirate.

   "Luffy, Sauron——"

  咻, 锵!

  As Roman yelled, although he didn’t know why he suddenly ‘hands it’, Luffy and Sauron also flew onto each other’s huge diving boat at the same time. Throwing a fist out of the knife, he beat the soldiers who came up to his back and quickly brought the situation under control.

   "Ahhhhh, I'm bleeding! I'm hurt!"

  The chubby guy who was stepped on by Roman was panicked and yelled. In fact, with the defensive power of his iron skin, coupled with the thick fat buffer, Roman's knife is nothing but a'skin trauma' to him, but it is obvious that this guy is not a qualified fighter, let alone scraping. Poison, even the most basic aspect can't be done without changing the color.

  "Doctor! Where is the doctor—"

   Facing the drum guy shouting at his feet, Roman directly stuck the buzzing paper knife in his hand to the opponent's neck.

   "Yes, call your doctor out quickly."

   "If you don't let me, let your king's head fall to the ground!"

  ! ?

"you--"

  "Why do you know..."

  The two guys on the deck who were not cleared by Roman’s "Maple Leaf Falling" looked surprised. One of them was the court jester with a bow and arrow, and the other was a boxer with an explosive head. ——Just looking at the ‘Painting Style’ is above the miscellaneous soldiers, obviously the leader of this ship.

   "This stupid face will never be forgotten as long as you look at it once?"

  Roman placed the buzzing knife in front of Valbo, who was stepped on by him, and successfully stopped the other party from screaming like a pig.

  "King of the Drum Kingdom, capable of swallowing fruits: Valbo."

   "Bold, since you know that I am the king—"

  噗,

   "Ahhhh, my shoulder!"

   "The King with the Pirate Banner?"

  What this guy does will never get there any better than the pirate...

  Roman impatiently looked at the archer in the court jester costume and the boxer with afro on the deck.

  "Hurry up and call your doctor, we have patients on board!"

  "Give me treatment first—"

  Faced with Valbo, who was still alive and dead at his feet, the paper knife in Roman's hand was thrust into his other shoulder with a pop.

"Shut up!"

  ————————

"what?"

  Roman frowned and looked at the doctors in the cabin: protective clothing, surgical caps, sterilized masks, rubber gloves, dressed up as standard doctors. At the same time, they are indeed real doctors, and they are also the top medical staff in the kingdom of drums. but:

   "Sorry, sir."

  A doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained in a low breath:

  "This lady did not have a normal fever and heatstroke, but was bitten by a bug called'Keski'."

"What it is?"

  Romain frowned, something he had never heard of...

   "Uh, that's a poisonous parasite. The wounds that these guys bite will quickly become infected, and then they will show symptoms such as fever, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs."

  The doctor paused, and his professional ethics asked him to continue.

  "This disease looks very similar to a normal fever, and there will be no special manifestations, but once five days have passed, it will be..."

   "Death immediately."

  !
