The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Big Bear..."

Roman looked at Sauron, who was wrapped in his paper on the bed and his whole body glowed with emerald green light, rubbing his temples.

"Isn't this too heavy a hand?"

If it was replaced by other members of the Straw Hat Group, the corpses would be completely cold! Even Roman himself didn't have the confidence to resist such a terrifying injury like a comminuted fracture all over his body.

"It's good to be alive,"

Faced with Roman's complaints, Sauron, who was seriously injured, remained calm.

"The other party is a member of the World Government, and it is thankful that they didn't catch us all. ——In fact, I was prepared for the worst at the time..."

The end of the dream!

After Chopper treated the injury, a huge amount of life force in Roman's paper flowed into Sauron's body, nourishing every cell of him, which is why he can now speak with strength.

"By the way," Sauron glanced at Roman next to him, "Roman, you seem to know that man named Xiong? Before you were about to say something, he shot you away—"

"yes,"

Roman nodded and hesitated a little.

"I know him, but he doesn't know me. Big Bear's identity is very complicated, and it's hard for me to say..."

Maybe it was the 'calmness' and 'familiarity' shown by Roman in the face of unknown enemies that made Big Bear choose to shoot him directly, or maybe it was some other reason—but that doesn't matter anymore:

Roman patted Sauron on the hospital bed, "Anyway, let's recuperate well. How can we say that we defeated another Shichibukai?"

Although it is the most delicious one, but this time there is no external force, but a real knife and a gun to overthrow the other party! ——Even if the whole group works together, it is still the record of the Straw Hats.

However, this is the limit of the Straw Hats now.

"Hey—here's something to eat!"

The energetic Luffy came over carrying a huge package, the rules of the Straw Hats: After defeating a strong enemy, of course it is the traditional banquet time~~

In addition to the Straw Hats, there is also the "Forest Pirates" led by Lola, and the Victims' Alliance where the "seriously injured old man" is. ——In order to celebrate the reunion, everyone spontaneously organized and brought food and wine from Moria Castle.

"What happened after we passed out?"

When Roman began to think about "gains and losses", Sanji walked over to look at Zoro on the hospital bed, and with a crooked face, he handed over a bowl of porridge with a strong medicinal aroma.

"It's for you. You...forget it,"

Sanji, who was about to say something, shook his head one last time, leaving behind a vague mutter.

"I don't care about hitting me..."

"Zoro, get well soon!"

Facing the grinning Luffy, Usopp and others couldn't complain, "Why do you look like you're okay?"

"how could I know?"

"Go, go, go," Roman began to chase people away, "What are you doing here? The patient needs to rest, don't you know!"

"Hey, doesn't Sauron just need to drink to recover?"

"What kind of therapy is that for you???"

—————

"Actually, I saw it all at the time,"

When Sanji came to the temporary 'kitchen' to prepare food, Brook followed in quietly.

"Maybe it's because I only have a skeleton left, the man named Xiong didn't notice that I was awake, so it happened like this..."

"... Sauron, did he suffer all of Luffy's 'injuries'?"

After listening to Brook's narration, Sanji silently lit a cigarette, "So that's why Luffy recovered, and Zoro became like that."

Did you say 'nothing happened'? !

that bastard—

"Should I tell Captain Luffy about these things?"

Facing Brook's question, Sanji shook his head.

"No,"

"Zoro didn't do that for someone else's reward. And..."

"What would Luffy think if he knew that his pain was transferred to Zoro?"

"I see,"

The afro-headed skeleton Brook nodded.

"It's great to have companions, you are all good companions who can risk your life for each other~~"

"As long as everyone is safe and sound, I'm going to cook."

After Sanji finished speaking, behind the wall next to him, an 'ear' suddenly turned into a petal and fell.

"So that's how it is."

Robin smiled sweetly. Although the Straw Hats are full of idiots rushing to carry knives, it is the most reassuring place in the world.

"It's a banquet~~!!"

Amidst Luffy's shouts, everyone started eating, drinking, drinking and singing! In this way, we express our praise for being alive! And Brook went to a piano next to him.

"Just let me play a song for everyone, just to cheer you up."

ding dong dong~~

With the white finger bones jumping on the keys, the melodious sound of the piano began to echo in the hall.

"Binks' fine wine? What a familiar song~~"

"Hello, Brooke."

Luffy, lying on the piano, looked at the skeleton playing the piano.

"You're going to join us, aren't you?"

·········

"Roman, why do you still look unhappy?"

Facing Nami's question, Roman flipped his wrist, and a half-white and half-black paper fell into his hand and handed it to Nami.

"Is this... is it?"

"Yes," Roman nodded, "Molia's 'Shadow Fruit' ability. You don't need to develop those messy abilities, but you must learn the life-saving skill 'Shadow Mage'."

Hey,

Nami clutched her forehead helplessly, and the wine in her hand didn't smell good for a moment.

"We just defeated Qi Wukai head-on, so we need to fight so hard—"

Although she said so, Nami has already put down her wine glass and took the half-black and half-white pages to add to "The Thief's Ultimate Art": she, a navigator, is almost forced by Roman to become a walking "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book"... ·

"However, this is actually not our real power," Roman pointed out calmly after taking a sip of orange juice.

"Moria is the weakest Shichibukai, and we cut off his subordinates first. Then we prepared all kinds of props to restrain his abilities——we only managed to defeat the opponent with deliberate calculations or inadvertent intentions."

There will be no more "parallel import" bosses like Moria in the future. How can this make Roman happy?

Also, Ace's side...

With his stubbornness, it is certainly impossible for him to do something that insults the reputation of "White Beard" by "bowing his head" to the navy. In the end, most likely he will not be able to escape to the battlefield. ——Luffy must be going to save people, so:

How to control the plot of Chambord...

Roman raised his glass and took a sip of orange juice, blocking his thinking face.

—————

Crash,

In the ruins of the empty gate mansion, a huge remnant wall "self" opened, revealing the obese middle-aged man with purple hair in a fishnet suit below.

"Hey, get up!"

A beast-like voice lowered his voice in the air, but the obese middle-aged man under the ruins remained motionless, like a real corpse. A threat to impatient Absalom in invisibility.

"Huoba Ke, your body has already been transformed by yourself! It is impossible to die so easily - if you don't get up again, I will bite your throat!"

Faced with the threat of his colleagues, the weird doctor who pretended to be dead had to turn over and get up.

"Hiss...cough cough, it's Absalom, have the damn Straw Hat Pirates left?"

"No,"

A figure "emerged" from the air, wearing a gorgeous windbreaker, wearing a Moria logo hat, and a "transparent man" Absalom with blond hair appeared beside him, causing the weird doctor Hobak to look at him in surprise.

"Abu Salom, your hands?"

After licking the blood next to the lion's mouth, the "transparent man" named Absalom broke his hands at the wrists, and the uneven wounds seemed to be bitten out by a beast!

"I was careless, and was caught by the Straw Hats with Hailoushi handcuffs."

He waved his arm which was haphazardly wrapped in cloth strips to stop the bleeding, "In order to escape, I had to bite off my own hands!"

"...咈嘿,咈咈,咈咖, I really admire you."

Standing up and exercising his fat body, Doctor Weird was about to run away——

brush,

A bloody arm was hooked around his neck, and Absalom's cold voice was behind him.

"Where are you going? Hobuck!"

"Hiss, hiss, of course you are running away, do you still want to trouble those straw hats who defeated their master?"

·······

"I'm not so overwhelmed, but—"

"Before you go, rescue the master first!"

·······

"Well, Master Moria shouldn't capsize in this gutter, you and I will rescue him!"

After the two people... or the bio-transformers finished their discussions, they disappeared instantly under Absalom's ability, leaving only a series of footprints stretching out. Under the gaze of the crow squatting on the tree trunk with empty eyes, they bypassed the The hall where the banquet was held was sneaked backwards.
