The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

West Rob Village,

On the hillside near the sea.

"Good...a big boat..."

"Look, those guys are so vicious..."

"Is it a pirate? What to do, Captain Usopp—"

The one called "Captain Usopp" by the three children was a boy with fluffy black hair wrapped in a headscarf and a long nose. He looked down at the huge merchant ship, crawling backwards in a stiff body.

"It occurred to me that it was nap time,"

"I got the disease of 'If you don't take a nap, you will die'..."

"Captain Usopp, cheer up!"

"How can you be afraid of mere pirates..."

"Who is there?"

Following a cold and murderous voice, the three children who were peeping at the top of the slope turned around and ran away, leaving behind:

"Hey, hey, you guys—"

There is no way, so far:

"You pirates, this is my Captain Usopp's territory!"

The boy with a long nose stood up, facing Roman, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami who were walking slowly, he pointed his thumb at himself and threatened loudly.

"Hurry up and go back to the sea, or my 80 million subordinates won't stand by!"

·········

"Tsk, there is such a small slope behind you, how on earth can you hide 80 million subordinates!—Castle fruit?" Roman rubbed his temples, thinking that such a person would also be a "companion" in the future, he felt heartbroken. so tired.

Think about it carefully, the truly reliable crew member should be... Robin?

Usopp's move is similar to "at one command, eight hundred knives and axes are thrown out from behind the screen"~~

"Be... Seen through...?"

There are ghosts if you can't see through it!

brush,

"We are pirates."

The figure flickered, and a cold voice sounded behind Usopp. The arm gently placed on his shoulder made half of his body numb!

"If you don't agree with each other, your head will fall to the ground—"

Roman's fingers lightly slid across Usopp's neck, instantly causing the boy to sweat coldly, and his legs trembled at high speed as if eating a 'rubber band fruit'! but:

Snapped,

A pair of hands firmly grasped Roman's wrist, still the trembling voice of a boy named Usopp.

"I...I will never let...you step into the village..."

"interesting,"

Roman's finger attached to the opponent's neck stroked sideways along the skin, and at the same time dubbed.

"puff!"

"Ah~~~~"

··········

"Roman, he passed out."

"Rolling eyes, foaming at the mouth... no way..."

—————

In the restaurant of Sirob Village,

"What, it turns out that you are recruiting partners and looking for ships."

After changing a pair of pants, Usopp, who was revived with blood, enthusiastically sold himself to Luffy, Zoro and Nami.

"If there is anyone in this small town who can have extra 'boats', then only the Ke Ya family. She is the daughter of this small town, owning a mansion, many properties and more than a dozen servants."

"It's a pity that my parents died of illness a year ago, no matter how rich I am..."

"do not talk."

Usopp's words were interrupted by Nami, but he didn't care, and returned to the original topic again.

"Well, if you want to recruit people, I can do it too~~" He pointed at himself confidently, "I can be your captain!"

"Don't!" X3

"Think about it!"

"Hahahaha~~~"

"What are you laughing at?" Annoyed Usopp looked at Roman who fainted from fright, "Do you think I'm timid..."

"No," Roman shook his head and said seriously.

"You are very brave,—I apologize to you for what happened just now."

?

"If it were me, facing an absolutely invincible enemy alone, I would have already run away without a trace. How could I stop in front?"

And even after the boy named Usopp passed out, he still firmly grasped his wrist... In all fairness, Roman didn't think he had such a 'determination'.

"Hmph, even if you say that, I won't be happy~~"

(*^▽^*)

········

Are you possessed by Chopper? !

"That's right, it's time."

Looking at the clock on the wall, the boy with the long nose stood up. "Eat first, I have something to do~~"

———————

Not long after the boy named Usopp left, the three children came to him.

From their mouths, Roman and others also knew that the long-nosed boy was going to "tell a story" to the girl who lost her parents, Kaya... Well, "bragging" relieves depression, so:

"Very well, then let's borrow a boat from the eldest lady's house!"

Luffy, who was full of food and drink, stood up and announced loudly.

"Sorry, my partner..." Roman, who was paying at the counter, pointed in the direction of his temple, with an expression of "you understand", which made the boss smile awkwardly but politely.

However, the four of them finally came to a mansion after eating, and after trespassing on the other side's courtyard, what appeared in front of them was:

The scene where a boy named Usopp is being scolded by a butler wearing glasses!

wow, this-

In front of Roman and others, there is almost a bloody "Sura God of War's son-in-law's humiliation":

How honorable is my lady, and you deserve it?

Take the money and get out!

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor~~

This Xiluobu Village, don't wait!

Reverse, reverse, mere son of a pirate——

If you walk out of this mansion today, there will be no place for you in Xiluobu Village...

It's roughly like this. At this time, if a group of pirates with hundreds of millions of bounties jumped out and shouted: 'Welcome the son of the four emperors' cadres to come out of the mountain! '

That would be more perfect...

"Roman, what are you laughing at?"

"Ahem," Roman shook his head, "I think of happy things."

Well, although the content is similar, it is not so 'rough and brainless'. The butler with glasses just said a few words, and Usopp was so angry that he beat him. ——At this moment, his image in the heart of the owner of the mansion: Ms. Ke Ya dropped sharply.

Immediately afterwards, there were a few words, which forced Usopp to leave angrily after saying "never come here again".

As for Luffy's 'borrowing a boat', of course it's nothing.

—————

"Hello, Usopp."

A group of people walked out... well, after being 'driven out' of the mansion behind them. Luffy asked the long-nosed boy beside him.

"Are you sure you don't see that girl named... Keya anymore?"

"Hmph, if the butler apologizes to me, it's not that I can't forgive him." After all, he still couldn't let go of the weak and sickly girl.

"Hehe, then you may be disappointed."

Roman behind him suddenly spoke, and a word attracted everyone's attention.

"Because that Miss Ke Ya is already dead."

"What did you say!?"

Turning around suddenly, the trembling Usopp stared at Roman! Even though he knew that he had no power to resist in front of this person, but:

"Although Keya is sick, she will definitely recover! Take back your curse! Otherwise—"

Even Nami on the side frowned, but it was Luffy:

"Roman, have you discovered anything we don't know?"

He immediately chose to believe in Roman.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Miss Keya's illness. It's about the butler just now—"

"It's called 'Gulahano' or something?"

Roman spread his hands, and an ancient yellow wanted notice 'emerged' from his palm. While Usopp was startled, the characters on it suddenly opened his eyes wide!

"This...this is..."

"Hey, isn't this the Mr. Butler just now?"

"Right,"

Facing the surprised Nami, the thoughtful Zoro, and Luffy with a question mark on his face. Roman raised the wanted warrant in Yang's hand.

"'Hundred Strategies' Crowe, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates."

"Scheming, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, a small town that once slaughtered thousands of people..."

"It is rumored that he was arrested and executed by the navy three years ago. But, I just know: this guy just faked his death and escaped."

Roman tilted his head in the direction of the mansion he just walked out of, with a weird smile on his lips.

"I didn't expect him to live in seclusion in this place. In just two years, he gained the trust of the people around him, and then 'killed' the master's family. Next, he only needs to let that Miss Ke Ya 'die of illness'. Then he You can get a lot of wealth and at the same time spend the rest of your life in peace and stability. Wonderful~~~"

Although Roman can't remember the plot clearly, but pirates, aren't they just used to take the blame?

Anyway, the other party was indeed trying to seize the property of Miss Ke Ya.

"What... what..."

"Could it be that Keya's parents are—"

"What evidence do you have?"

Facing Usopp who was sweating instantly, Roman curled his lips.

"evidence?"

"Brother, did you misunderstand there?"

"I'm a pirate, not a navy! What do I need evidence for—"

Roman stepped forward and stuffed the wanted warrant into the hands of the panicked Usopp.

"In the final analysis, that lady named Ke Ya is not related to me, not to mention that there is a vicious pirate ambushing beside her. Even if she dies right in front of me, what does it have to do with me?"

"The only reason I'm telling this is because I feel—"

Roman lowered his head and whispered a few words into Usopp's ear.

"Just for fun."
