The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Naval Headquarters,

"Little Roman, just tell us if you need anything..."

"Okay, Lieutenant General Crane."

"Golden Lion, that old bastard!" the silver-haired Garp yelled, "You actually shot at our navy rookie, let me catch him, and I'll smash all the rudder on his head into his head!"

"Yes, yes, teacher Wuwei..."

I believe you can do it, the premise is that if you want to find the golden lion, you must also be able to fly.

·········

After learning that the Golden Lion was "bullying the small with the big ones", the navy masters were so passionate that they went to Roman to comfort him not to be discouraged and expressed their willingness to help beat the Golden Lion violently! Even Akainu asked if it was necessary to send a general, and Roman couldn't help but politely refuse.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

—————

And outside the naval headquarters, the sea boils again!

Every time Roman goes out to sea, the reporters spend a good time squatting at the Marin Vanduo Wharf, because Roman will make big noise every time.

This time, although the battleship was destroyed and everyone was injured, it also brought 'big news'.

The legendary big pirate "Golden Lion" returns to the sea!

Who is the golden lion?

His real name is Shiji, nicknamed "Golden Lion", the captain of the Flying Pirates - the admiral of the Golden Lion Pirates Fleet, and a person with fluttering fruit abilities. A big man who used to be on par with Gold Roger and Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate!

Twenty years ago, when Roger the One Piece was arrested, he made a big fuss at the Navy Headquarters. Although he was captured by Karp Sengoku (the comics did not fight for three days and three nights, it was blown by the animation), but he still destroyed half of Marlin Vandor. Said it was fierce! Later, he was the first pirate to escape in the history of the city.

Major General Roman's defeat at the hands of such a big pirate is not a 'failure' at all.

It can even be said that being able to return safely from this legendary pirate with most of the people... The excited reporters have already begun to concoct news such as "the future of the navy, the general of tomorrow".

—————

As the person involved in all this, after contacting Nami, Roman has calmed down.

Although Nami was kidnapped, she is now a guest of the Golden Lion Pirates by virtue of her world-class navigator level and ability to modify the weather!

Not to mention the cadres of the Golden Lion Pirates, even the Golden Lion is quite indulgent to her, giving her what she wants, acting like a respectful corporal, and there is no problem with her safety for the time being.

——It’s only for a while, once the golden lion is about to destroy the East China Sea, Nami will be in a desperate situation immediately!

Of course, even if such an extreme situation occurs, Roman has the last resort.

"The Ultimate Art of Thieves" is not only bound to Nami's "Devil Fruit Ability Chart", but also can be used as a "replacement" price to make Roman appear beside Nami in an instant. ——As long as he is not being stared at by the golden lion, Roman is confident that it will be no problem to run away with Nami.

But that would directly consume "Thief's Ultimate Art", and it would not be used until an emergency.

In fact, the easiest way to deal with it now is to gather a group of naval masters, locate Nami's coordinates, and then give the golden lion a wave of "justice"! On the spot, this old guy with dementia + hemiplegia who jumped up and down was beaten into small pancakes...

but:

"No, thanks."

Facing the tall peach rabbit in front of him, Roman seriously refused the other party's help.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring Ann back!"

The reason why the Golden Lion has been able to roam free for so many years is not because of Piao Piao's ability to raise the island to a high altitude as a mobile base, making it impossible for the navy to catch it, so it can only stare blankly at sea.

Now that the golden lion dares to catch Nami, next year will be his death day!

Now that Luffy and the others have spoken, of course the Straw Hats will be rescued by the Straw Hats themselves. If relying on others... Then when Lu flew out to sea, he tied his father and grandfather directly to the boat, and drove all the way to the crown of Ralph Drew as the "One Piece".

—————

"Boss, we're aimlessly looking for..."

Although Roman already had a careful plan, for Polkin and Iska, chasing the Golden Lion Pirates was more unreliable than finding a needle in a haystack!

"It's not aimless, it's... Forget it, you just have to believe that I will bring Colonel Ann back."

Facing Roman, who obviously didn't want to explain, Polkin hesitated to speak, and finally could only silently go back to the training ground behind to exert his strength. While Roman seems to be standing on a warship, in fact, his energy is already:

Ship——!

White fighter jets pierced the sky and gathered at Roman's location from all over the world at high speed! It carried members of the Straw Hats one by one, and at the same time:

In the high altitude in front of Roman's warship, at a height that cannot be observed by the naked eye, more than a dozen large and small islands form an artificial 'sky island'.

The green shade is picturesque, the rainbow is like a bridge, the flowers are red, the willows are green, the autumn leaves are frosty and snowy - spring, summer, autumn and winter are all in it, the colorful colors are so beautiful, it seems like a fairyland on earth!

There is only one person in the whole world who can achieve this level:

'Golden Lion' Shiji!

It was he who used the fluttering fruit to float these islands aloft for decades! There is no doubt that this is the manifestation of his fruit ability awakening.

(Miss. Strictly speaking, the "light and fluttering fruit" on Valentine's Day should be "kilogram fruit", which is the subordinate of the "ton-pressed fruit" of Mahabasi, the cadre of Mingo's family. These two are the same as the "fluttering fruit" of Golden Lion not related.)

"Boss, we have arrived at our destination."

On the small island next to the largest main island, there is a row of figures squatting or standing. Wearing a white suit, tie, top hat, and mask, this look is unmistakably:

CP0!

In other words, the world government is directly under the top secret intelligence agency: Cipher Pol -AIGIS0.

"Very well, first lurk."

Roman's voice came from the paper in the hands of a man in a white coat. A pigeon also wearing a white coat, a white tie, and a white top hat was squatting on his shoulder. Its identity is ready to be revealed:

Rob Lucci!

And the few people next to them are undoubtedly Kaku, Gabra, Bruno, Xiongshi Nugget, Otonashi Owl, and Kalifa.

"Wait for my next order, - if support is needed, I will send a signal to you."

"How about the arrangements for your preparations?"

Facing Roman's question, Lu Qi nodded calmly.

"Whether it's the evacuation of the villagers or the research data of 'IQ', we have already mastered it, and we can act just waiting for your order."

"Don't act rashly,"

Roman told Lu Qi and the others,

"Golden lions are not easy to deal with. Your task is to check for leaks and fill in gaps."

As for the frontal attack, of course Roman and the Straw Hats came in person!

"correct--"

Roman's last words came from the phone paper.

"be safe."

··········

The moment Nami was taken away, Roman had already transferred the power that belonged directly to him to infiltrate the golden lion's sky island. ——You must know that Golden Lion is issuing a "recruitment order" during this time, gathering fifty pirates to his empty island to drink the "marriage wine". Used as an attack on the East China Sea:

cannon fodder!

This allows Lu Qi, who is proficient in latent assassinations, to go to the Golden Lion's empty island to prepare for the preliminary work one step ahead, and then:

"You wait in this sea area first."

After finishing the 'call', Roman turned his head to look at Iska next to him. For the navy... just do the finishing work. ——Under Iska's puzzled eyes, Roman spread his wings and flew into the sky on moon steps!

"Hee hee hee, you guys say that if I jump from here—"

"Luffy Luffy, look at my new hat..."

"Don't shake around!"

"Yo ho ho ho, let me sing a song for everyone. Although I have no throat, only bones are left..."

? !

brush--

Waving his wings, Roman rushed up to the clouds, looked at Luffy and the others who were shaking the 'paper hot air balloon' above the clouds, and rubbed his temples habitually.

"Everyone is here."

This hot air balloon is a creation made by Roman with the paper airplane that carried them, and it is only used as a temporary foothold. With familiar faces coming into view, Roman also jumped into the basket of the paper hot air balloon.

Luffy always looks confident; Zoro holding three samurai swords, Usopp carrying a large slingshot, Sanji smoking a cigarette, Chopper carrying a medical kit, and Luo with his hair tied into a ponytail. Bing, Franky carrying a weapon box bigger than himself, Brook holding a violin...

"Roman! Take us to find that golden lion—"

Cracking, clenching his fists, Luffy looked determined.

"Smack him and save Nami!"

"it is good,"

With Roman clapping his hands, the paper hot air balloon quickly disintegrated into pieces of white paper! include:

"Hey hey?!"

Hanging baskets under everyone's feet.

"Ahhh, we're going to fall—"

"We're falling..."

"We have fallen"

However, the straw hats did not really do free fall, because they were gently caught by sheets of white paper, and then turned into seats one by one. —Of course, the seat facing the sky.

"Then, everyone, sit tight!"

Sheets of white paper quickly wrapped everyone in it, turning into a slender aircraft:

"Paper Dance - Long March No. 2 C!"

Boom boom boom——

With the turbulent flames gushing out from the bottom of the rocket, this "capability rocket" made of various abilities in the shape of Roman's memory soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of Nami in the sky!

"Super~~ Awesome!"

Franky in the rocket's cabin leaned back.

"A person with abilities is amazing. They can easily do things that technology can't do."

"However, once technology is mass-produced, it is also beyond the reach of capable people. For ordinary people, technology is—"

"Hee hee hee, I don't care about that."

Luffy interrupted the conversation between Frankie and Roman with high spirits.

"As long as you can take risks with your companions, it doesn't matter whether it's ability or technology!"

As the height of the rocket increased rapidly, a small dot gradually began to enlarge. ——Those were indeed islands floating in the air.

"Come on, Gorilla Rocket!"

"Forward! Captain Usopp—"

"Aww!!"

Amid the shouts of the straw hats, Roman rolled his eyes helplessly.

"It's just a temporary means of transportation..."

Forget it, as long as you are happy.
