The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"1050,"

"1051,"

On the deck of the merchant ship, Luffy and Zoro, who were wrapped in paper bandages, buried their heads in squats with heavy loads on their backs. And Nami who is also exercising on the side...

"Why should I join?!"

Facing the tearful Nami, Roman standing by the rudder raised his eyelids.

"You want to fight me too?"

"If you beat me, you don't have to listen to me—"

"Forget it, I practice from the bottom of my heart..."

Even Luffy and Zoro, two violent madmen, lost. Nami felt that it was better not to make fun of herself. but:

"Roman, don't you need to exercise?"

"Who said I didn't exercise?" Roman waved his hand, and on the rudder beside him, a pair of white 'paper hands' were driving the boat forward.

"I'm training my fruit ability. If I can create a 'paper clone' that can move freely, it will greatly alleviate our shortage of manpower..."

Well, because many of Roman's ideas require precise 'control', he is really 'exercising' now.

"Roman, it's understandable that you can cut me with a knife."

Luffy, who was wrapped in a 'paper bandage' again, yelled while exercising.

"Why can shields hurt me~~"

"Is it the 'dominant' you mentioned?"

"I'm dreaming," Roman complained, "If I had been domineering, I would have gone to the 'New World' long ago!"

"In my opinion, domineering is the extension of 'soul'."

"The color of knowledge represents 'perception', the color of armed forces represents 'will', and the color of overlord represents..." Fate? Capacity? Or something else... Roman shook his head, it was too mysterious for him to understand.

"In short, I don't even know the specific training method of domineering, how could I use any 'armed color'."

As Roman reached out to call, a white 'paper hand' floated out of the cabin, holding a samurai sword in his hand. ——Not Sauron's sweetheart, but the "cargo" of this merchant ship.

Although Roman and the others hadn't paid much attention to it, there was still a huge fortune lying in the cabin below the deck: it was a box of swords and flintlock guns!

"I just attached tiny triangular 'papers' to the edges of the shield, like I do now."

As Roman intentionally 'enlarged' his ability, pieces of 'jagged' paper appeared on the edge of his palm with knives.

"Then, I let them move at high speed."

buzz buzz ~~~

Amidst the low buzzing, these 'sawtooths' moved rapidly on Roman's body, forming a gray chainsaw! Then he pointed at the samurai sword floating in front of him, and the sword in his hand suddenly fell.

Clang!

Sparks fly, metal clangs.

The katana with sheath was instantly split into two!

"Cut, it depends on the fruit ability, it's not an iron swordsman."

Facing Sauron's displeased words, Roman shrugged. "Please, I'm a fruit capable user. I'm not a swordsman..."

If Luffy is facing Roman's sword and shield, he is facing two high-speed cutting chainsaw swords! Basically, it will hurt you if you touch it, and you will get blood when you touch it. Let alone fighting, just dodging is extremely embarrassing.

So when Sauron faced Roman, he encountered a steel fortress. Hit the iron all the way, continue to scrape the sun, and finally get down on the ground tired.

"If you can cut through the steel, maybe you still have hope of victory."

But obviously, the current Sauron does not have this strength.

Facing Roman who was wearing the 'Paper Dance-Iron Armor' and carrying a shield, Sauron was helplessly knocked down after cutting out sparks all over the sky. ——It doesn’t break the defense at all, what to fight?

Although it is said that as long as the strength is sufficient, even if it does not break the defense, it can "shock" people.

Although it is said that Sauron can barely break through the "Paper Dance-Iron Armor" on Roman's body if he charges up and uses skills such as 'Ghost Slash', but...

Don't forget, even if the fruit ability is removed, Roman's own strength is also not inferior to Sauron and Luffy! So it was a matter of course that the discussion ended in the failure of the two of them.

Speaking of which, to deal with a 'full body armor' ability user like Roman, using heavy weapons will do more damage. But Roman was already very agile, and the weight of the 'armor' and 'weapon' made of paper was almost zero, which made his speed really come and go like the wind.

In short, I would like to bet and admit defeat.

Luffy and Zoro had to sweat profusely to start exercising, bid farewell to the daily "playing tricks", and let Roman clean up a lot.

—————

"Too sloppy~~"

?

"It's a merchant ship, isn't it?"

After taking a comfortable hot bath and washing off the sweat. Nami, who was sitting on a paper chair, began to talk to Roman about business. ——As for Luffy and Zoro? Already asleep on the side deck.

"Although this merchant ship is not bad, it is not suitable for sailing, right?"

As the name suggests, merchant ships are used to load goods. While large in size and high in stability, it has the disadvantages of slow speed and poor firepower. And if you go to the great route, what you need is a ship that is light and fast, has certain long-range firepower, and can move forward and retreat freely in the eyes of a group of enemies.

"So, we need a professional boat. And—"

Nami, who was wiping her hair with a towel, asked suspiciously,

"Is it really good to waste fresh water like this?"

Hot water for bathing... is an extremely luxurious thing for the crew of any nautical vessel. Even if the cargo space of this merchant ship is large enough...

"Ah, that, don't worry."

Roman waved his hand.

"I can provide paper in large quantities as 'fuel', and fresh water is just a product of my filtration of seawater."

"Hey, hey, hey?"

"Because my paper has the characteristics of 'biology' to a certain extent, so as long as I want, I can make these things..." A blank piece of paper appeared in Roman's hands as he spoke.

"Possess the function of biological cell walls, and then use the 'reverse osmosis principle' to purify fresh water from seawater..."

"I'm sorry, I understand every word you said, but when it comes together—"

Nami, who was sized up and down by Roman with "ignorant" eyes, clenched her fists, so angry~~! If you and I exchange strength, I must make you know what cruelty is!

"In short, you can just treat this as one of my fruit abilities."

Roman touched his chin.

"Let's call it 'Paper Dance-Clean Water'."

·········

"as long as you are happy."

—————

"Come back to business, we'd better change ship before we get on the great line."

Roman nodded in favor of Nami's proposal. Just like the "Riding the Wind and the Waves" he stayed on before, the Silver Light Pirates were able to save themselves from danger several times, all thanks to that ship that can sail at high speed.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he was finally destroyed in the hands of his own people.

The ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Roman, and it was also the last reunion place of the 'Silver Light Pirates'.

"Well, our next destination is called 'Sirob Village', it would be best to get a new ship there..."

Facing Nami who was seriously looking at the chart, Roman rubbed his eyebrows.

Sirob Village·····

Usopp's hometown is also the place where the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, the "Golden Merry", was acquired. I remember that Usopp’s childhood sweetheart had an undercover pirate called ‘Hundred Schemes’, what’s his name... Nock? Or Chloe?

Roman recalled it for a long time, and only remembered that the other party had a signature movement of pushing the glasses with the palm of his hand, and the long sharp blades on the ten fingers... It seems to be just a miscellaneous fish.

Very good, when you get there, you can directly beat the opponent and get the ship reward...

and many more!

Roman rubbed his temples, wondering if he had been with Luffy for a long time, and his IQ plummeted to such a point! How can there be such a simple and straightforward thing in the world? Run to beat people and get rewards...is it playing a game? And I remember that it seems that the other party's secret conversation was bumped into by Luffy and others, so...

Forget it, since we know who has the problem, then things are very simple.

Roman's eyes flashed, he is the best at being a 'bad guy'~~
