The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Thank you, thank you so much."

After eating, Ah Jin, who finally 'came alive', burst into tears.

"Hi, cook! What's your name?"

Luffy, who jumped out of the window, stood beside the two of them carelessly.

"Be our partner, be the chef on our pirate ship!"

"My name is Sanji, the sous chef here."

"I'm not going on your boat."

However, with a cigarette in his mouth, he has blond hair, the hair covers the left eye, and only the right eye and right eyebrow are exposed. A waiter-like man with raised eyebrows rejected Luffy's invitation without hesitation.

"Because I have reasons why I have to work here."

"I reject your rejection!"

······

"Hey, hey, listen carefully to what people say..."

"What's the reason?"

"I will not tell you,"

"Didn't you tell me to listen to you?"

"...I'll beat you up!"

However, no matter what, they are all boys from the sea, and the three of them chatted after a while. When it comes to the sea, adventures, and dreams, they even get excited! Let the old man quietly watching all this from behind the window on the third floor show a nostalgic smile. And in the restaurant:

"Luffy is gone again, won't it cause trouble again?"

Facing Nami's worry, Roman cut a piece of bread and put it in his mouth.

"No, my detective paper crane is watching outside, Luffy is trying to recruit a chef."

"That's good,"

Nami didn't seem to have much appetite, so she forced a smile.

"With Roman here, I believe the Straw Hat Pirates will be able to go on..."

"Say what?"

Roman frowned, Nami's strangeness made him feel strange. Could it be the girl's 'that' coming? Trying to recall the vague plot more than ten years ago. However, what is relatively clear is the war on the top, Brother Ming, the new world, etc., and the plot of the East China Sea is too long...

and many more! I remember like—

"You actually left me and eat delicious food here!"

Luffy, who didn't know when he came back, sat down at the table with Roman and the others, pulled a plate and was ready to eat.

"I have found a good chef and will be able to invite him soon..."

Snapped!

However, Luffy, who hadn't spoken half of his words, was pinched up by the "ruthless iron hand" behind him, and there was the displeased voice of the chef named Sanji.

"Aren't you a waiter? What are you doing sitting here?"

"Besides, I won't be a pirate! Because..."

"Isn't this a good opportunity?"

An old voice came, it was the owner, chef, and captain of this restaurant: an old man with a broken foot.

"Go be a pirate,"

He looked at the blond with curly eyebrows, because Sanji was the cook.

"This store doesn't need you anymore!"

"What? Old man..."

———————

clang,

"No...it's not good, it's Admiral Creek's pirate flag!"

In the 'Sea Restaurant', everyone was in a mess! If the comparison between the Golden Merry and the "Sea Restaurant" is like a chicken next to a big goose, then the pirate ship that appears now is as huge as a hunting dog!

"It's an exaggeration..."

Looking at the giant ship slowly approaching, Roman had to admit that the navigation of this world has indeed revealed a lot of black technology! This kind of creation, like an ocean liner, can be made of wood. but:

"Wait, why does it look tattered?"

"Could it be a storm..."

"Needless to say, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like man-made,"

Such a giant ship like an 'aircraft carrier' at sea is now slowly docking beside the sea restaurant like a ghost ship. Just when everyone was wondering:

bang,

The door was pushed open, and the man named Ah Jin went and returned. But this time, he also supported a tall man:

"Ahhhhhh~~!!!"

"'Admiral' Creek?"

"We're doomed—"

From the exclamation of passers-by, Roman and others easily knew the identity of the visitor. but:

"It seems that this Captain Creek is unlucky."

Not only was it unlucky, the huge ship outside was in tatters, and Creek, the captain, was half dead.

Roman took a visual inspection. The other party was about 2.5 meters tall, with light purple hair and a turban on his head. Wearing a loose shirt with the outline of weapons and armor under the shirt, black boots, and a large cloak.

"very scary····"

As the saying goes, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse'! No matter how desolate, the 2.5m "little giant" still brought a wild impact to everyone in the restaurant, such as:

"I...I'm going to the bathroom..."

Nami backed away quietly with a frightened expression on her face.

—————

"...Excuse me...can I... give me some food and water..."

The tall captain, who looked like he was exhausted and withered, was supported by Ah Jin next to him, begging feebly.

"I have money... I will give as much as I have..."

·········

"Hahahahaha~~"

The burly chef who was still terrified just now laughed wildly. Seeing that the pirate who dominates the entire East China Sea is so weak, what is there to be afraid of?

"Food and water? Don't even think about it, call the navy!"

"Isn't that lieutenant nearby? The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune is right in front of him, and he will definitely not let it go."

"and many more,"

Ah Jin, who supported Crick, shouted anxiously.

"We are guests! This time we have money, ten times or a hundred times!"

"Hmph, and then continue to burn, kill and loot after you recover?"

The burly chef took out a kitchen knife with disdain, a murder weapon that was 1.5 meters long!

"People like you will definitely attack our restaurant after eating. Don't even think about getting a drop of water—"

Snapped,

The tall pirate leader knelt on his knees, his body dropped to the ground, and his head hit the floor directly! Humble prayers echoed through the dining room.

"... I beg of you... any leftovers are fine,"

"We will leave obediently after eating, please..."

"captain!"

"Don't do this, you don't have to do this!"

Seeing his own captain bowing his knees so humbly, Ah Jin next to him was so excited that he shed tears.

——It’s a wolf.

Roman watched the play calmly. When these 'characters' appeared in front of his eyes, his long-term memory gradually recovered, and the images in his mind gradually corresponded with the real characters.

Creek, a pirate who has long been the hegemon of the East China Sea.

He is defiant, ungrateful, ruthless, and even his own subordinates can ignore his life or death. He is a person who is disgusting from the beginning to the end. He thinks he is invincible in the world, and he is arrogant, ruthless, and despicable all in one. but:

Roman didn't hate him.

At least as a 'pirate', he did exactly what a 'pirate' should do!

Conspiracy and calculation, ruthless, servile, indomitable...

It wasn't anyone who encountered the world's top fighter 'Eagle Eye' when he first entered the great route, and was killed by him at random. After more than 50 warships and nearly 10,000 men were wiped out! There are still those who have the courage to continue to challenge the great route.

Whether it is a frog in a well or arrogant.

At least Roman admired this perseverance.

but--

Boom!

"Step aside."

He kicked the burly chef blocking the way to the side, and the man named Sanji put food and water in front of Ah Jin.

"Give it to your captain."

"thanks, thanks····"

Seeing the man named Crick gulp down the food, the other chefs were anxious!

"Sanji, are you crazy!"

"For this man named Crick, betrayal is like drinking water..."

"He will never leave obediently after eating, he will definitely—"

Boom! !

In fact, it doesn't take long to wait.

Crick, who had just swallowed his last bite of food, stood up suddenly, and threw his "savior" Sanji flying with a punch!

"Phew, I'm alive."

Regarding the 'digestive system' of the powerful in this world, Roman no longer wanted to complain. but:

"It's a nice restaurant, I want this boat!"

Could this betrayal be too fast?

—————

On the other side, aboard the Merry.

"Yo, Brother Nami, are you back?"

Joseph and Johnny, who were staying on the ship, looked at Nami who jumped onto the deck and asked suspiciously.

"Where are the other big brothers? - That's the Creek Pirates next to you, right? Should we run away quickly..."

"They are watching over there, let me come over and sail the boat first!"

Nami commanded the two third-rate pirate hunters to heave anchor and turn around, and at the same time quickly explored around the deck, collecting all the inconspicuous paper cranes. ——These are all Roman's creations. They are usually a normal paper crane, but if necessary, they can immediately become Roman's 'eyes'.

puff,

The match was struck, and the jumping flames fell on these paper cranes, and the blazing flames devoured these little things!

"Brother Nami, next..."

"You stand at the bow, I want to change clothes."

Facing Nami who was pulling up her clothes, although Joseph and Johnny couldn't figure out why this 'big brother' was changing clothes now, they turned around instinctively, and the result——

push!

Plop, plop,

"Goodbye."

The Golden Merry, which had moored and sailed, turned around vigorously, slid across the water and galloped to the side!

"This this·····??"

"Go and inform the other big brothers!"

—————

"I can get away easily while they're watching a play there."

"Hahaha, what a bumper harvest~~"

On the faraway Golden Merry, a girl named Nami turned the rudder, and she could not go wrong with her eyes closed in this sea area.

"I didn't expect Roman's boat to have so much money~~"

"More than 30 million Baileys, it's a huge profit!"

"The goal of 100 million has been achieved," the girl raised her head and smiled.

"You should be happier, Nami." With a smile, liquid slid down her face.

"sorry······"

"Sorry, Roman, Luffy, Zoro..."

And Usopp who just joined, you are not a liar, I am!

The girl lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and let the tick-tock crystals fall on the deck.

"The next time we meet, you will tell me that I stole your boat, stole your money, and betrayed you..."

"As a partner?"
