The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Captain, look—"

A large sailing ship with a pirate flag sailed to the back of the capital of seven waters, and the lookout found something unusual.

"A little sailing ship without a flag?"

"It looks very dilapidated," said the leader of the "Magic Frog" pirate group with a bounty of 45 million, putting down his binoculars and stroking his tentacles. "Just let them go..."

"Wait, what is that?!"

On the scorched shore, lay a comatose man with a long nose. Of course, this is not the point, the point is those things around him!

"Medicine kits, food, charts, shells, and—Bailey?!"

Not to mention other things, the stacks of banknotes instantly attracted the attention of the ship! If you look at it casually, there are tens of millions! Let the captain of the magic frog with a pair of bulging eyes give the order immediately.

"Looking at the past, it's time for us to make a fortune today—"

Snapped,

A tall man in white armor landed on the deck from the sky, raised his ornate helmet and swept around, and heard a cold and killing voice.

"Get out of here, or—"

"Get rid of him!"

Ping ping pong——

The densely packed bullets bounced off sparks on the armor, and the 'White Knight-Changed' sighed.

"Isn't it good to live?"

die!

The battle broke out, and the white armor galloping at high speed slaughtered across the deck. There was no one enemy, and even the captain of the magic frog who broke into the great route with the animal "poison dart frog fruit" soon lay in a pool of blood.

The deadly poison of the middle one is useless to this 'armored knight', and after the head falls to the ground, the powerful recovery ability of the animal system can only be used in vain.

The battle ended soon. Facing the blood-stained deck, the 'White Knight' first looked around for a week, and then jumped high!

"cut!"

A huge white half-moon-shaped sword energy crashed down, instantly splitting the entire pirate ship in half! Ling Lie's sword energy even oppressed the sea to the point of rolling to both sides.

Then the raging waves squeezed towards the middle, quickly engulfing the ship and turning it into rubbish on the seabed.

After all this was done, the white knight with wings growing from his back flew behind a mound next to him, sat down silently cross-legged and turned into a motionless statue again.

—————

The capital of seven waters.

"My heart is so heavy~~"

On the roof of a hotel, Luffy sat cross-legged on the eaves.

"This is the captain!"

Sauron held the handle of the knife and pushed open the door of the roof and came over.

"Don't get confused, Luffy."

"If you are undecided... who else can we trust?"

"And, you have more important things now." Zoro patted Luffy on the shoulder.

"Robin is gone."

"Roman... seems to blame himself a bit, he thinks that he is too oppressive to let Usopp..."

—————

"I should have given Usopp the shells harvested from Sky Island earlier to improve his combat power."

In the room, Roman looked at the shells on the table and sighed. "But Usopp's current body, if you use too strong a shell, it will damage yourself..."

"Anyway, I, the 'chief of staff', didn't adjust well—"

"Do not!"

Luffy who pushed the door and strode in interrupted Roman's words.

"If you want to blame, you should blame me, the captain!"

"Whether it's the sand crocodile or the thunder's long ears, I insist on fighting." Luffy looked around, Nami and Chopper's eyes were red, obviously they had just cried, and there was an ashtray next to Sanji. With a pile of cigarette butts, Roman holds a page and thinks hard...

"I apologize if I made it difficult for everyone because of my relationship."

Facing Luffy who took off his straw hat and bowed his head, everyone in the room stood up.

"You are the captain..."

"Luffy, don't—"

"but,"

After putting on the straw hat, Luffy looked at everyone seriously.

"I don't regret my decision! Maybe I will provoke more and stronger enemies in the future. I just want to know, you—"

"Will you still support me?"

"puff,"

Nami was the first to laugh,

"certainly."

"You can't even get the boat out of the dock without us!"

"That's right,"

Roman also nodded seriously,

"If no one advises you, I can imagine the scene where you eat all the 'prison food' of all the enemies."

"Eat all the food on the first day at sea,"

Sanji lit a cigarette and cast a contemptuous glance at a certain fridge-breaker.

"And then go hungry for the rest of the day, this kind of One Piece is really~~~"

"Ah,"

Sauron just snorted coldly, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth undoubtedly represented affirmation.

"Luffy,"

Chopper wiped away his tears and looked at the man who forcibly took him out to sea.

"But what about Usopp and Sister Robin? I'm so worried about them~~~"

"Of course it's—"

Luffy turned his head and looked at Roman with a serious face.

"Roman, you have to find a way."

? ? ?

Is this when I've upgraded to the Universal Wishing Machine? !

"I·······"

Looking at the expectant and trusting eyes in the room, Roman could only shrug his shoulders.

"Alright alright."

"Usopp's side, I sent the 'White Knight' to guard there..." As soon as Roman finished speaking, there was a sigh of relief in the room, including Luffy!

Obviously, they can't really let Usopp go. Otherwise, those medicines, charts, Baileys and so on...

"Actually, the core of this incident is that Usopp feels that it will drag us down."

"Can't you help him figure out a way, Roman." Sanji knocked on the heel of his shoe, and he had mastered the two 'blast shells' on it, which can completely fly in the air for a short distance.

"I'm indeed thinking about the solution, but Usopp's own physical fitness..."

Although under the persistent exercise after boarding the ship, Usopp's physical fitness has been greatly improved now.

But unlike Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji who were trained by famous teachers since childhood, Usopp was just an authentic ordinary person before meeting the Straw Hats, and he had never had a good exercise, let alone a famous teacher. .

It's not so easy to catch up in more than ten years. It's better to say that it's unrealistic to want to catch up with other people's ten years of hard work after training for a long time, right?

"Of course, in fact, Usopp's potential is still great, as long as he persists, he can also be alone. The premise is:"

"Is he still willing to fight—or, to fight with us!"

This is the most critical point, if Usopp chooses to go back to his hometown in Donghai to get married. Then Roman said that he would never mention anything about strengthening combat power.

"There is no need to discuss this issue."

Luffy pressed the straw hat, "No matter what Usopp chooses, I respect his decision. ——Because we are partners for life!"

"Okay, then the second question: the Golden Merry."

? ? ?

In an instant, everyone in the room was shocked mixed with disbelief.

"Actually, the Golden Merry is not beyond salvation—"

brush, brush,

Boom! !

Two figures galloped over, one on the left and the other on the right grabbed Roman's collar and pushed Roman against the wall.

"You bastard!! Why didn't you say it sooner if you have a way??"

"Calm down,"

Facing the veiny Luffy and Zoro, Roman waved his hands.

"Although I said that there is a way, it is not now, let alone 100%. ——You know that I will not guarantee anything until I succeed."

"So, what can you do to save Melly?"

Facing the excited Luffy, Roman shook the paper in his hand: on it was a big mouth like an iron barrel.

"That Iron Jaw's 'Tuntun ability'?"

"That's right, the 'Tuntun Factory' extended from Walpo's 'Tuntun Fruit' can turn two people into one."

As Luffy and Zoro let go, Roman's collar automatically returned to neatness.

"By the same token, I can also use the 'Tuntun Factory' to integrate the Golden Merry with a new ship, so as to extend the life of the Golden Merry."

"Wow, that's great!! Mr. Roman~~"

Chopper next to him jumped up excitedly.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's set off quickly! As long as the Golden Merry is saved, Usopp will also—"

"not that simple,"

Zoro calmed down and folded his arms,

"There must be some restrictions, right? Otherwise, Roman should have said it long ago."

"Yes, there are two difficulties."

Roman stretched out two fingers, devil fruit is not omnipotent, not to mention his 'piracy' ability.

"First, a very good ship is needed for the fusion. Otherwise, in the case of the Golden Merry, ordinary ships would not be able to share his injuries at all."

This problem can be solved by the legendary treasure tree Adam that Franky went to buy.

"Secondly, there is a limit to swallowing fruit. It is beyond my ability to swallow a ship completely—even the original owner of the fruit, Walpo!"

"So Roman, you must have a solution to the problem, right?"

Facing Luffy's question, Roman nodded.

"This page itself is an extension of my 'limb', so if I can make the page bigger, I can enlarge the swallowing volume of the swallowing fruit in the same proportion."

Those two golden pillars were swallowed in a 'chewed' situation, and of course this method cannot be used in the face of the Golden Merry. ——Not to mention whether "chewing" will kill the "ship spirit" of the Merry, you can't spit out a bunch of parts and assemble it slowly, right?

"And to do this, I need to master an ability."

"Life returned!"

"Where does this skill need to be learned?"

Facing Luffy with a serious face, Roman pointed to the city center——there was the direction of the headquarters building of Carrera Corporation.

"CP9!"
