The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Ha ha,"

Facing the bespectacled man Crowe with ten sharp claws in both hands, who "killed teammates and sacrificed to heaven", Roman just pretended to be surprised.

"It turns out that the weapon in your handbag is not Bailey~~ It seems that you don't care about your lady's safety at all."

The dagger in Roman's hand has already left the neck of the weak girl named Keya——now that the other party has "torn face", there is no need to continue acting.

"Oh, Captain Crowe."

Roman took a step forward, blocking Kaya who was still 'tied' to the chair behind her.

"You look murderous, do you want to kill everyone here?"

"certainly,"

Now that the matter has come to an end, there is no need for Captain Crowe, who is pretending to be a housekeeper, to hide anything. While the others were still in shock, they directly and generously admitted.

"Today, everyone here will die."

"Merry!"

A delicate cry broke the silence, and it was Roman who untied the paper tape on Miss Ke Ya's mouth.

"Crabatelle, how could you—"

"Seeing this, don't you understand yet? Miss."

However, the man with glasses and sharp bladed weapons extending from his fingers only responded indifferently.

"My name is Crowe, not some Clabattle."

"But... but... if you want money, obviously all the money in the family is yours..."

"No, you are wrong."

Because he carried a weapon called 'Ten Blades' in both hands, Crowe could only push the glasses with his palm.

"I want more than money,"

"And the 'safe life of a gentleman'."

"Although there was a little accident, it doesn't matter, miss."

"After I kill these meddling stupid thieves, I will let Zango hypnotize you, and let you make a 'property by Klabatur'—that is, the will that I inherit."

The man on the opposite side directly stated his plan, not shying away from the surprise, disappointment, and disbelief on everyone's faces.

"I'll kill you when the time comes, miss."

"Then push these 'tragedies' onto these alien pirates. Of course, Usopp as an 'accomplice' is also..."

"enough!!!"

clatter~~

The paper tape binding Kaya turned into real paper slipping down, and the girl raised the one in her hand:

Short-barreled flintlock gun.

"Say no more, Clabattle."

The gun was aimed at the man who had accompanied her to laugh, cry, and take care of her as a family member.

"I didn't believe it at first...but:"

"Please get out of here, or I'll shoot you!"

········

"It seems that you have also become stronger, miss."

"Three years, do you know how I got here in these three years?"

"I take care of you, a young girl, every day. When I'm sick, I stay by my side all night. I work as a servant..."

"Captain Crowe, who was once feared by countless people, groveled and endured this." After recalling the "hardships" in the past, the man named Crowe was full of murderous aura!

"Just to kill you!"

Snapped,

The short-barreled flintlock gun in her hand fell to the ground, and the girl named Ke Ya lowered her head, tears falling like broken pearls!

"You bastard—!"

Usopp stepped forward angrily, but was blocked by a hand.

"You have other things to do," Roman, who stopped Usopp, tilted his head to Keya, who was crying behind him, with an expression of "you kid, hurry up and comfort others".

"As for the battle, leave it to me."

Roman walked towards Captain Crowe, "After all, this is my 'idea', and I should be the one to finish it."

"Roman, what about us?"

Luffy, who was "watching a play" on the side, shouted dissatisfied.

"There's only one enemy, it's not enough~~"

"Ten blades? A crooked way, not a swordsman."

"Come on Roman..."

"you,"

Crowe, with bulging veins on his forehead, was annoyed by the 'defiant' teenagers in front of him.

Daring newcomer, don't put me in the salt...

"What do you think of me, Captain Crowe?"

Clang!

In the splash of sparks, the figures of Roman and Captain Crowe trembled suddenly! Terrified, Nami tore off the decorative blindfold.

So fast!

If it wasn't for the positions where the two stood, and the direction of the weapons in their hands. ——She didn't even realize it, the two who were clearly several meters apart had just fought once.

"Don't worry,"

Roman threw it back casually, and a white origami crane landed in front of the three of Luffy, and then flew up slowly.

"Luffy, your business is coming."

"The 'Paper Crane' I released saw a cat-shaped ship with a pirate flag on the northern coast."

"It seems that our Captain Crowe has also invited other 'helpers'," Roman pointed to the direction where the paper crane was flying. "Luffy, Zoro, Nami, the enemy of that ship will be handed over to you."

"Okay, put it on me!"

"Hmph, I have wiped the knife several times~~"

"Why even me..."

"The treasure on that ship is yours."

With one sentence, Nami, who was like a bloody chicken, pulled Luffy and Zoro, two coolies, and flew northward with the flying paper cranes.

"Then, Captain Crowe."

Roman looked at Crowe, who had been silent on the opposite side.

"It seems that you have confidence in your subordinates, but..."

"I've never had confidence in those trash," but the man on the opposite side just adjusted his glasses silently with his palm.

"I'm just confident in my strength."

"Even if they fail in the end,"

"I could kill everyone too."

Facing Captain Crowe, who was calm and full of murderous intent, Roman just smiled slightly.

"Coincidentally, I also—"

Biao!

After Captain Crowe's body suddenly became blurred, he 'melted' into the air without a sound, and Roman, who was holding two sailor knives made of paper in his hands, also moved at a high speed in an instant, and the whole person turned into a phantom that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Biao! !

In the eyes of Usopp and Kaya on the side, they could only faintly see two figures spinning rapidly, completely blurred and entangled with everything. There is a gossamer-like light swimming in the air, extremely slow, but it seems to be extremely fast!

It was suddenly an afterimage pulled out by the sharp blade's swift swing. Whenever such a 'light' swept across, the earth, trees, and rocks! All the objects in front were cut apart silently.

Both of them fought fast, sweeping across the battlefield like a whirlwind! This is followed by:

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!" In a series of crashing sounds, sparks exploded everywhere, like thousands of fireflies flying suddenly in the open space in this forest.

Ka Ka Ka! !

Countless cracks suddenly appeared in all directions, all over the entire battlefield! It was as if a dozen or so swordsmen had just fought here. There were traces of cutting and hacking everywhere, surrounded by slowly falling trees, and fallen leaves that shattered into pieces in the air.

Afterwards, the two reappeared, four meters apart, standing with their backs facing each other. On the ground between them, there are black cloth strips and blood everywhere, clearly indicating the outcome of this battle!

"you--"

Crowe, whose black suit was full of rips, turned around, and the bright red patches on the white shirt under the suit began to spread. He stared at Roman who also turned around with an ugly face, and his Adam's apple twitched.

"Devil Fruit."

"That's right," Roman casually twisted the sailor knife in both hands, shaking off the blood on it.

"Don't say anything unfair,"

In the passionate confrontation just now, theoretically speaking, it should be evenly matched. However:

"The fruit ability is also my strength. I don't want to hear any crazy words that make me 'take off my armor' and fight again."

Paper Dance - Iron Armor

Opposite Captain Crowe is an opponent with extremely high speed but not very lethal power. Maybe Maucai is a good player, but when encountering Roman's high defense, he will be restrained to death! Can only scrape the whole process...

"Huh, it seems that I can only use that trick."

The captain named Crowe lowered his head and spread his arms. However:

In fact, he no longer had any hope of defeating Roman. Because my next move is too flawed... I can only bet that my physical strength will be exhausted first, or the opponent's defense will be unable to hold on first.

"spoon!"

call--

As he made up his mind to launch the big move, the whole person immediately:

"No... missing??"

Usopp rubbed his eyes, looked at the opposite side again, and didn't even let go of the surroundings, but:

"Ro...Roman, that Captain Crowe ran away?"

"run?"

Roman pointed around.

"If you call that running, it's—"

puff!

With a crisp sound, a big tree suddenly slid slowly to the side! And on its trunk, four smooth cut surfaces suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"How is this going····"

puff! puff! puff!

On the trees, on the ground, and even on the ruins of the battle just now, 'wounds' appeared out of thin air! It looks like an invisible sharp knife has been drawn——

The captain named Crowe is nearby, attacking!

It's just that his speed is too fast, so fast that even Roman can only see a little 'afterimage'. In the eyes of others, it is a complete 'disappearance'! It is indeed a sharp skill, but:

"it's a pity,"

Obviously able to self-exercise a move similar to the 'shaving' in the six naval styles, but he is afraid of the sea and powerful enemies, and chooses to hide here to spend the rest of his life. ——Even so, he couldn't let go of his inexplicable pride and greed.

But looking at the opponent's random attack, it should be out of control...

? !

When Roman was fully perceiving the other party, he suddenly felt a 'wind' blowing past him! And on the other side's line...

Oops, Miss Kaya!

With a thought, the 'chair' behind the weak girl immediately flew and spread like a living thing, and was about to cover the girl's body to form a defense. but:

puff! !

Blood splatter! Dots of bright red fell on the face of the girl named Ke Ya, causing her pupils to tremble.

"U...Usopp..."

At the critical moment, I don't know how the boy named Usopp sensed that the enemy, which was beyond the range of human eyes, was killing Kaya at high speed. In short, with a sudden pounce, he used his body to protect the weak girl!

"Small... just a small injury..."

Blood spattered from his entire back, but facing the girl in his arms, the long-nosed Usopp still smiled with difficulty and chose to say a 'lie'.

Well done.

Roman, who almost 'turned over', first breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became serious.

stop playing-

Snapped,

He clasped his hands together, and sheets of paper that had been laid out floated out of thin air.

"Paper Dance - Red Leaf Hunting."

puff! ! !

Following Roman's order, a large piece of scarlet suddenly splashed in the air! Dye a piece of white paper red, and:

Pieces of meat scattered all over the floor!

"Sure enough, the most feared thing about this kind of high-speed movement at the expense of everything is 'brake failure'."

If the opponent chooses to fight Roman well, it may take a lot of trouble.

But since he made this uncontrollable 'big move', Roman directly activated the prepared 'field skills'. All you need to do is arrange sharp 'papers' in the air, and then wait for the opponent to bump into it!

As for the result:

The 'Captain Crowe' who turned into hundreds of dollars on the ground is the most obvious example.

"The speed that cannot be freely controlled is nothing but the death talisman."
