The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"what!"

"Moria is missing?!"

"It's over, it's over..."

"Oops, if he comes back, we—"

"Don't panic,"

Facing the panicked "Forest Pirates" and the "Victims Alliance", Roman waved his hands.

"Moria was seriously injured by us before, even if he escaped with his life, he must have gone to other places to recuperate now. The sea is so big, can you be so unlucky and hit him again?"

After speaking, Roman pointed to the Straw Hats who were listening carefully to Brook playing the piano.

"What's more, with us here, does Moria want to be knocked down a second time?"

"Yes~~ There are these heroes..."

"No! The big pirates are here, we don't have to be afraid of that navy lackey Moria!"

"Long live the straw hat boy!!~~~ Hahaha, keep drinking! Keep eating! Then enjoy the long-lost sunshine~~·"

—————

"It's great to be alive!!"

At the end of the song, Brook, who was left with only the skeleton, looked up at Luffy who was lying on the top of the piano.

"Excuse me, can I join the team?"

"OK,"

!

"Why did this guy join the gang so readily!?" X5

Didn't our behavior at the beginning seem very 'tweaked'?

Facing the shocked Usopp, Nami, Sanji, Chopper and Franky, Robin just covered his mouth and chuckled. Roman, who came over, touched his chin subconsciously, recalling the scene when he first met Luffy...

The face is not red and the heart is not beating!

Returning life is easy to use.

"Well, allow me to reintroduce:"

Snapped,

Brook, who knelt on one knee, faced Luffy, and put his top hat and sword staff beside him. — like a sworn knight!

"Below, Brooke, who is dead to the bones."

"He used to be the captain of the Kingdom Guard, and later joined the Rumba Pirates as an acting captain, musician and swordsman."

"From today on, take orders from Captain Straw Hat Luffy!"

Facing Brook's oath, Luffy didn't play any hypocritical tricks like "please get up quickly", because he knew that this was the way Brook behaved.

"I don't hesitate to smash my body to pieces!!"

"Welcome, Brooke—"

"Yo ho ho ~~~"

"cheers!"

—————

two days later,

Burying the bones of Brook's companions on this island, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship is an island-type ship from the West Sea, so it can be regarded as "returning to the earth".

"Very well, Sauron's injury has also healed! Let's go—"

Next to the island, the Straw Hats are about to set sail again, and Lola, who is saying goodbye to Nami, takes out a piece of paper.

!

still here...

Luffy and Sanji gave him a strange look at the flash of Roman's breath, but they didn't see anything. This is also a matter of course, after all, Roman's face is often covered with a layer of paper!

"This is my mother's life paper. If you have any trouble going to the new world, you can go to her..."

Big Mom's Life Card!

It is indeed a good prop, able to command the ‘Homiz’ under Big Mom’s command. It exists like a sword in the world, but:

Not to mention that because of Laura's 'escaping marriage', the aunt hated Laura to death, and even her twin sister Qi Feng was almost beaten to death! What's more, when it comes to this life paper...

"Hey, I have one too."

Sure enough, the conversation here caught Luffy's attention. As he took one out of the straw hat:

Burnt paper!

—————

"Luffy, is it really okay?"

"Ok?"

Luffy, who was sitting on the side of the boat, pressed his straw hat.

"Oh, Ace's life paper..."

"do not worry,"

When Luffy raised his head again, his smiling face had returned.

"Ace is strong! I've never beaten him once, and—"

"Even if there is danger, he doesn't want me to worry. Ace doesn't like others to see him make a fool of himself! Besides, Ace also has his own 'adventures'."

Facing Luffy's words, everyone in the Straw Hats smiled, only Roman at the helm sighed quietly.

The reason is true, in fact, Luffy is also very clear. but:

When he learned that Ace was imprisoned in Advance City, he was willing to sneak into the prison under the skirt of the Empress; when he learned that Ace was being escorted to the Navy Headquarters for execution, he rushed up to the three generals desperately. ····

Who can remain indifferent in the face of their loved ones?

"Luffy, we can make a detour!"

"That's right, there is the paper of life as a pointing point—"

"No, no, hee hee~~ It really doesn't matter!"

Compared with Luffy who is actually very worried in his heart now, but wants to comfort everyone instead. Ace is really like a 'brother'.

"I heard that if my physical strength is weak, the paper of life will wither—"

Sanji came over with two plates of wine,

"So maybe Luffy's brother is just sick?"

After speaking, Sanji glanced at Roman thoughtfully.

"Are you right, Roman?"

"Ah, um, that's right."

In fact, everyone knows very well that when it comes to 'paper' Roman should be the one who knows best, after all, his fruit ability is here.

And think back, Roman had come into contact with Lu Fei's brother Ace's "Life Paper" at the beginning, and he usually used these weird papers. In theory, he should be the one with the most say!

Instead of muddling through the "hmm, huh, huh" like now...

Forget it, Roman this guy. Everything is good, but the mind is too complicated - the few people who noticed the abnormality did not tell the truth, because there are more important things now.

"Sauron has been cultivating before, so:"

A circle of small wooden barrel wine glasses passed to everyone's hands, but Roman's usual practice was still orange juice.

"To celebrate the addition of new member Brook—"

"cheers!!"

———————

at the same time,

The largest prison in the world located in the windless zone: Advance City, the sixth basement floor!

"Lieutenant General Garp, this way please!"

The tall old man came to a cell under the leadership of attentive prison staff. The firmness built by Hailou Stone has made countless strong people helpless. Inside, a man covered in scars is tied to a chain of Hailou Stone with thick arms.

"Oh, oh, it's really horrible."

The tall old man looked at the shirtless man inside, "Are you still alive, Ace?"

The familiar voice made the man bound by chains look up, revealing a stubborn face.

"grandfather."

"Go down—"

The tall old man in the navy waved his hand, even though it was his 'grandson' who was locked inside, but Lieutenant General Garp's ups and downs over the past few decades still amaze the prison staff who have grown up listening to his legendary stories. After paying a salute, he turned and left.

"Ace,"

The old man sat down, facing the 'grandson' in prison, with layers of wrinkles on his face.

"I originally hoped that you and Luffy would become excellent marines, but things backfired..."

"Now, I'll give you one last chance to 'rehabilitate'! Join the Navy, everything can be redeemed—"

"That's impossible, Grandpa."

However, the man in the prison refused straight away, "Luffy and I both have the blood of world-class criminals, so it is impossible for us to be a navy..."

"and--"

Compared to the "One Piece" who had never seen him since he was a child and killed his mother...

'It would be a pity if you died like this, boy. '

The tall man held out his hand to him.

"Carrying my name on my back, I will gallop freely in this sea—"

'Be my son! '

"There is only one father of mine," the scarred Ace raised his head, "and that is Whitebeard!!"

If you bow your head to the navy, what will be the face of 'father'?

·······

"Do you know what you're talking about, Ace,"

"I know--"

Boom! !

He punched hard on the cage, and even the so-called Hailou Stone was distorted and deformed under the old man's fist in an instant! A huge pit was sunken. The entire advancing city, which was as huge as a fortress, suddenly 'shaked'.

"You don't even know!"

"This is the last chance! Do you think it's easy for your grandfather to put down his old face and ask for help?"

"You think this is a sign of 'courage'? Do you know that when you refuse to join the navy, the action has already begun!"

? ?

"What action—"

"Of course I use you as a bait to eliminate Whitebeard."

? ? ! !

"Kill me! Kill me!! Grandpa, please—"

Facing Ace who came back to his senses and struggled frantically, the tall old navy man turned around.

"It's late, even if I kill you, do you think White Beard will let it go?"

With Whitebeard's love for his family, even a 'corpse' would definitely fall into the trap!

"Ace, your stubbornness will only hurt those who care about you—"

"Whitebeard, Luffy..."

"And I!"

The tall old man left slowly, and liquid spread along the wrinkles on his iron-blooded face.
