The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 66 Fire Fist Aisroman Walks Alone

  "Rapeseed Flower····"

How should people complain about the name   ?

  Roman looked at the port city that appeared on the sea level, trying to divert his attention with complaints in his mind. He had already released a large group of paper cranes for investigation, and everything was in his grasp. But before that:

   "Roman, don't you need to tie it?"

  Luffy, Sauron, Sanji-and everyone in the Straw Hats: including Weiwei and Lu Xingya, who ran fast, all tied a few laps on their left arm with paper.

  Paper tape is provided by Roman, absolutely unique! after all:

  A piece of paper that can be used as an armor to block damage, at least this sea area is only available to Roman.

   Facing Nami’s question, Roman waved his hand.

   "Paper is made by me with my ability, I can always—"

"Fool!"

  Roma, who was knocked on the chest by Nami, handed the paper tape to him, and helplessly stretched out his left hand.

  Use your own ability to create something tied to your hand? What kind of strange behavior is this, as long as he wants, one thought can do...

   "Okay, it's tied up."

   While Roman was thinking about it, Nami had already tied a paper tape on his arm and tied a beautiful bow.

This--

   "Okay, no matter what happens in the future."

  As Luffy stretched out his left hand, Roman, Nami, Sauron, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Vivi, and Lu Xingya ran fast and stretched out their left hand to form a circle.

  "From now on, this will be the sign of our partner!"

  Ahhhh, I feel so stupid.

   But forget it, anyway, it’s probably the last time I was silly with them...

  ——————

  Rapeseed flower market, west coast.

  "Be careful after you get ashore," Sauron told everyone, "There are many ships with the banner of the Baroque studio, and the navy..."

  "Meals——Gallery!!!"

  However, before he could finish his words, Luffy, who had disembarked from the ship, disappeared.

"I--"

   Sighing, Sauron turned his head to look at Roman, his eyes were hollow and he didn't know what he was thinking. ——It’s not the feeling that the soul separates from the body when the so-called ‘Develop Fruit Ability’, but simply:

  In a daze.

   "Roman, I beg you for the tracking of Luffy."

"what?"

   "Ah, no problem."

   Facing Roman, who nodded after a shock, Sauron rubbed his short green hair.

   "Roman, you..."

   "Forget it, you are a smart person."

  Sauron leaned on the three-handed sword on his waist while jumping off the Golden Merley, and said without turning back.

   "Everything we know, we know more information than all of us. But—"

  "If you have any difficulties, you should tell everyone. Even if you trust Luffy at least, don’t you?"

  ···········

"OK,"

   Rubbing his face, Roman pulled out a stiff smile and exhaled.

   "Let’s go, when Luffy is eating, let’s add some supplies for the desert environment. And before that:"

  Romain looks at Marianu, who is always calm, which is the Miss. Golden Week of Baroque Studio. Now that I have set foot on the land of Alabastan, then:

  "The transaction is officially over,"

  Romain lifted his chin in the other direction.

"you're free."

  Facing Roman's words, Marianu walked a few steps forward with a hat carrying various painting tools, food and water, and then turned back to look at Roman calmly.

   "Aren't you shooting?"

   "Ha," Roman grabbed his hair, "If it were me before, I would definitely not let a powerful enemy like you leave. It is normal for you to crash with a shot, but now..."

  Roman waved his hand impatiently and turned around decisively.

   "Let's go."

  Having been with Luffy for a long time, they almost forgot that they were a ‘pirate’.

"That,"

  The little girl's calm voice came from behind.

   "We are even."

  ——————

   "Nami, you have a good figure~"

  In the shops on the outskirts of the city...Well, it's just a blanket spreading various products in the sand. And... the ancient trading scene where even the countryside of Roman’s previous life has disappeared.

Nami walked out of the'Paper Dance-Fitting Room' created by Roman's ability, wearing a desert-like dancing girl dress, breathable, less fabric, plus various metal accessories... she and Weiwei stand Together, how many men can come from this street and walk over again and again.

   "Huh? It's okay—"

  Faced with Weiwei’s praise, Nami was obviously absent. However, she was not the only one who was absent-minded, such as Roman who frequently touched his chin and wandered beside him, such as Sauron who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

  "Where shall we go next?"

   Facing Sauron’s question, Wei Wei explained, "We are going to the base camp of the rebels, a place called'Yuba'."

  "Only by exposing Klockdal's conspiracy to the rebels first, can you—"

   "Hide!"

   Halfway through, Weiwei was pulled down by Sauron, because in the city center:

   "Don't let him run away!"

  A group of navy chickens with guns and knives chased a figure and ran over.

   "A pirate?"

   "That hapless guy is so..."

   Just when the straw hat group was calmly watching the show.

   "Hi, Sauron!!"

  ? ? ? ?

  Luffy, who was being chased, ran to everyone without hesitation, followed by a string of chasing soldiers:

   "Don't come here!"

   "You kid who brought the navy here?"

  In this situation, the speechless people only have the last option.

"run!"

coming.

  Roman's eyelids drooped, as if suddenly returning to his soul, he ran to the side.

   "Follow me!"

"But····"

   "I have asked the'White Knight' to drive the ship aside to avoid the navy ships."

   "Great, Roman is still so reliable!"

  As everyone took a big turn, the port from the south became the desert to the southwest. The paper cranes hovering in the sky have a panoramic view of the city, so Roman knows the direction of the road flying, most of the navy and the white hunter Smogg:

   was blocked by a naked man covered in flames!

  Portcas D. Ace!

  Luffy and Sabo’s elder brother, the captain of the Whitebeard Second Division, the true-master with a bounty of 550 million Bailey! Currently on the way to hunt down Blackbeard, this time it is specially to give Lu Fei a life card.

  Life card!

  Life card, also called life paper, is a special item in this world.

  Only in the new world, we are not afraid of water or fire. It is a kind of paper that represents the vitality of the owner by mixing his nails with materials. Usually people will tear him to the relatives or friends who are about to separate, and the torn paper will attract each other.

  At the same time, the life card can also reflect the status of the owner. If you are sick, you will wither, and if you are injured, you will burn...

  If you burn out, you will die!

  Roman’s eyes are beating flames. Only with samples, he can immediately make up for his two shortcomings by virtue of the fruit ability! For paper fruits, this kind of thing is simply the best artifact that can never be changed. So:

   "Okay, let's take a break here."

  After dumping the navy, Roman stopped behind a sand dune. Although everyone did not know Roman’s plan, he had no objection because of Roman’s ‘reliable’ expression, and:

   "Run fast, I have something to leave to you."

   Taking the opportunity to rest, Weiwei took out a letter to her mount Lu Xingya.

  "This is the result of the investigation between me and..., you go all the way north back to Albana, give the letter to my father, and he will know everything."

  The clever Lu Xingya ‘runs fast’ nodded violently, and then drove away to the north!

   and not long after:

  Boom,

   "Yo, Luffy."

  A gentle voice sounded on the hill, causing everyone to suddenly raise their heads and put on a vigilant posture! Apart from:

  Roman and Luffy.

   "Hahaha, Ace!"

  Luffy introduced to everyone with a smile on the face of the alert straw hat group.

   "This is Ace, my brother."

   "Hey?!" X4

  "You guy actually has..."

   Walking down the hill is a man with broken black hair, calm eyes, and freckles on both cheeks.

  He wears an orange cowboy hat with two badges of "Smile" and "Sad" on the brim. There is also a skull and crossbones brand, a red bead necklace on the neck, and the naked upper body is muscular and well-proportioned. The lower body is a pair of five-quarter pants, with a dagger pinned to the belt.

  Faced with the people in the Straw Hat group who put away the attack, the man named Ace bowed his head to the crowd politely.

   "My brother has been taken care of by you, thank you."

   "It is indeed." X5

  Recalling Lu Fei’s performance along the way, the man and the woman cried silently.

  ········

   "By the way, Luffy."

  Ace sends an invitation to Luffy who is standing in front.

  "Would you like to come to the'White Beard' Pirate Group?"

   "I can introduce you to join."

However:

   "I don't want it, I want to be the One Piece!"

  One Piece, of course it is impossible to carry someone else’s banner.

"I knew it,"

  Ace just smiled, he knew his brother, so he just asked casually:

"this is for you."

  A small piece of white paper was thrown by Ace to Luffy, causing Roman, who deliberately hid behind everyone, to blink. Then the man named Ace looked at the people in the straw hat group behind Luffy.

  "I have a stubborn and stupid brother. The older brother is very worried about him,"

  "You are the same, right..."

  Speaking, he was serious again and really bowed his head,

   "Luffy will take care of you."

  After speaking, he turned around casually.

   "Goodbye by fate!"

  ——————

   "Luffy, can you show me the paper your brother gave you?"

  Facing Roman, Luffy handed the note in his hand to him without hesitation.

  With a trembling hand, he grasped the square paper in his hand, Roman closed his eyes, and for a moment there was excitement, surprise, seriousness, silence, and...definitely on his face!

   "Give it back to you, you have to put it away."

"certainly."

  Everyone moved forward in silence, and the joy of meeting Luffy just now seemed to disappear in an instant. And Roman also slowly changed from the front of the team to the middle, and from the middle to the back quietly, until -

  He stopped.

  And Luffy and others have already turned the sand dunes ahead.

Snapped,

  One hand grabbed Roman's arm, and Nami's trembling came from the arm, and the voice of her crying with her head down.

   "Go, we want you to show the way—"

   "Go ahead and you will be the Golden Merley."

   "Roman..."

"Feel sorry."

  Wow!~~~

  Nami's hands are empty, and the figures behind her turn into the falling papers. Each one is just snow white, there is nothing on it.

Why····

   "Nami, are you crying?"

  When Nami turned the sand dunes in front of her, everyone in the straw hat group stood silently and waited.

"no,"

Nami, who wiped her face fiercely, raised her head and bit her lips tightly.

   "It's just...just...the wind and sand blow into your eyes."

   "Let's go!"

  She walked quickly past the crowd and walked towards the Golden Meri which appeared in her sight.

   "Na Roman——"

   "Roman has something to do, let's go first."

"But····"

  Qiaoba wanted to say something, but Usopp next to him covered his mouth.

   "It doesn't matter, Roman can catch up. He has always been reliable."

Always!
