The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hehehe, are you really three brothers?"

On the boat with fish, Luffy chatted with the three princes of Fishman Island.

"But you don't look alike at all, are you also sworn brothers?"

"No, we are brothers."

The big prince Shark, who is serious, responsible and quite calm, replied that compared to the other two brothers who look amazing, the mighty and resolute Shark is the mermaid closest to the appearance of a human. He is in charge.

"Luffy,"

Roman on the side intervened in the conversation.

"When a murloc and a mermaid intermarry, there are four possibilities for the child to be born: boy, girl, murloc, and mermaid."

"Because murlocs and mermaids share the same ancestral life factor, the fish species they belonged to when they were born depended on the ancestral fish species genes of many generations ago, not necessarily related to the fish species of their parents. It's normal to have different kinds of merfolk."

After speaking, Roman nodded to the tall Dragon Palace Prince Shark Mermaid Shaxing.

"The captain of my family just said something unintentionally, please don't take it to heart."

"Won't,"

He was clearly a 'shark murloc', but the other party's temper was unexpectedly calm and calm, quite regal, worthy of being a prince.

"Actually, apart from the residents of Fishman Island, very few humans know our lives so well. Your Excellency is really knowledgeable."

"I'm not learned at all,"

Just when Roman habitually denied it, Nami's voice sounded beside her.

"I only know what I know.—Right?"

?

"Excessive modesty equals arrogance. That's what you said, Roman."

When did I say... wait,

Let me think about it carefully, have you ever said something like this in the past two years?

Looking at Roman, who was serious and lost in memory, Nami shrugged to the tall mermaid prince Shaxing next to him, with an expression of "don't be serious with Roman", making the other nod clear.

"Can we go together too?"

Unlike the heartless Straw Hats, Kemi looked around with a stiff face.

After all, she is just an ordinary murloc renting in a 'lower floor' apartment that lacks sunlight, and going to the palace to attend a banquet or something... is almost as exaggerated as a Cinderella story.

"It's okay, everyone said 'it's okay to bring friends,' so it's okay."

Usopp smiled and comforted Cammy. Unknowingly, the "bagger king" in the small village of Donghai has grown to the point where he can talk and laugh happily with the king without changing his face.

"Dragon Palace?"

Sauron folded his arms,

“Hope to have a good wine tasting.”

"It would be nice if there was a collection of books,"

Robin also looked forward to it.

Unlike the other people who were excited, Sanji knelt down on the deck with a decadent expression.

"Sorry, I can't live anymore."

"If there is an afterlife, I hope to become a raccoon..."

"this·····"

Chopper, who was comforting him, was speechless for a moment, making Brook next to him lower his head and ask curiously.

"What kind of creature is the raccoon? Chopper, do you know?"

"Asshole, I'm a reindeer!"

"Why do I need to know what a raccoon is!"

Chopper, who had already suffered from 'civet cat rage syndrome', subconsciously retorted. After reacting:

"Sorry, I got excited."

"The civet cat is a kind of civet cat. There are four black vertical stripes on the back... The most important thing is:"

After mixing with the Straw Hats, Chopper is no longer the innocent little reindeer he was back then.

"A raccoon can last for eight hours at a time!"

It can be called a miracle in the biological world.

? !

Ah this...

"Increase the dose!"

Roman calmly told Chopper.

"Haha~~!!"

Next to the boat where everyone was, there was a big and small shark wearing clothes. It is big because it is compared with the people of the Straw Hats, this shark with a body size of more than 20 meters is considered "huge"; it is small because it is compared with the giant hairtail boat under its feet and the sea kings encountered along the way... ·

This shark named 'Mecaro' is the pet of the princess of Murloc Island. When Luffy and the others beat up the giant monster of the North Sea, they saved the shark by the way. ——This is why the three princes invited the Straw Hats to visit the Dragon Palace.

Of course, in Roman's view, it's just a superficial 'excuse'.

A pet needs to be dispatched to thank the prince. Are princes so leisurely? The real situation is:

Who are the Straw Hats?

A big pirate group with a total bounty of more than 900 million!

(After promoting the city and the top, Luffy has increased his price to 400 million)

In this world, in most cases, bounty is equal to combat power. And with such a terrifying combat power, it is no problem to destroy the city and the country!

In fact, as long as the Straw Hats think about it, immediately destroying the Murloc Island is just a matter of stretching their muscles and bones. Just like the aircraft carrier group of Amelia passed by from Southeast Asia in the previous life, those small countries must be extremely nervous?

But luckily——

"Straw Hat Luffy, Jinbe asked me to bring you two messages."

The two sides are not without origin~~

"Number one is 'Don't fight Hoddy'."

"The second is that I'm waiting for you in the 'Sea Forest'."

·····

"Jinbe what does that mean?"

Luffy rubbed his chin, "And who is that 'Hody' guy? Have we met this person, Roman!"

When in doubt, ask Roman——

"It's just a trash fish, don't worry about it."

Roman waved his hands and answered casually: The plot of Fishman Island is the stage where Shi Ping pushed Luffy to the position of "hero". ——Otherwise, with Jinpei's strength, how much effort would it take to kill those miscellaneous fish pirates alone? As a result, I was paddling and fighting miscellaneous soldiers from beginning to end...

"Hehehe, then I'll go to the 'Sea Forest' to find Jinbei now."

Luffy stands up and prepares to go.

"I also want to see Jinbei soon, he helped me so much on the top!"

At the same time, it was Shi Ping who reminded the desperate Luffy of what he should cherish.

······

"Luffy, do you know the way to the 'Sea Forest'?"

! ?

Facing Roman's question, Luffy froze for a moment.

"Roman, lead the way!"

Undecided

"...Hey, we are on our way to the Dragon Palace, you just accepted someone else's invitation.—Is there any reason to run away halfway?"

"Right,"

Luffy, who sat cross-legged again, giggled.

"Banquet~~banquet~~meat~~~meat!!"

Luffy looked forward with a smile on his face, compared to Roman's serious face:

Roman is not interested in the banquet, and he is also not interested in the battle of 'abusing food' that will happen next. If there is anything worth Roman's attention in Murloc Island, it is only:

Neptune.

Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi——

Summoned giant sea kings!

Compared with the short time of human beings, which is only a hundred years, those giant sea kings have a lifespan of hundreds or thousands at every turn, which is the real "living history"! And unlike ordinary low-level sea kings whose intelligence is only sea beasts, the ones summoned by Shirahoshi are obviously high-level sea kings who possess wisdom and know how to think. That is to say:

These sea kings may be the creatures who know the "historical truth" the most in this world.

Thinking of this question, Roman couldn't help but feel the long-lost excitement. pity:

He is not Lu Fei, he does not have the arrogance of "listening to the voice of all things". There is no way to eavesdrop on the voices of the Neptunes, otherwise they might be able to know some details about that person.

Im...

"Huh~~Roman, you started again!"

Nami next to her tapped Roman's forehead with dissatisfied fingers, "Tell me, who is the opponent this time?"

"Qiwuhai? Could it be the Four Emperors?"

Ah, what I gave you is "The Ultimate Art of Thieves" and not "Book of Destiny"...

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about some...philosophies of life."

Roman waved his hand, what strong enemy can Murloc Island have? It's just miscellaneous fish, but there are a few good things: the evil medicine E·S, which claims to take one to double the strength, and two to quadruple the powerful medicine!

The eyes of the person taking the drug will turn into white pupils with a red background during the duration of the effect of the drug, but at the cost of reducing life. Taking too much evil medicine will cause changes in the body, and it will also make the user feel severe pain, and in the end it will even accelerate the aging of the user.

Although there are a lot of disadvantages, there is still a kind of desperate good thing. ——Such as cultivating dead warriors, and then taking fierce medicine to fight off powerful enemies...

Of course, the current Roman will not do such a small thing, but it does not prevent him from becoming interested in this drug.

And the other one is:

Murloc Island Dragon Palace Jade Box known as the 'Imperial Bomb'!

The so-called 'Jade Hand Box' is the national treasure of the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Murloc Island, and it is actually a box that seals the poisonous medicine. Later, because the murderous medicine was stolen by Hodi Jones, the right minister of Dragon Palace got a bunch of high explosives from nowhere and put them in the box, planning to teach the thief a lesson.

But the power of that dynamite...

It can only be said that the Fishman Island Dragon Palace is really lucky, otherwise it would have been bombed to the sky by its own people long ago.

"Open the Unicom channel!"

Dragon Palace is an independent area located in the sea of ​​Fishman Island, and can only be entered and exited through special passages. And as the group of straw hats caged in a huge bubble was led into the wide hall, one:

"Hohohohoho~~"

In the unique laughter, wearing a crown, the body is stronger than the average mermaid, with lush and fluffy orange-red hair and beard, with flame-like tattoos on both arms, thick body hair, and a finely carved weapon. The ten-meter-tall murloc with the trident opened his arms:

"Welcome to Murloc Island, everyone of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Oh, thank you for having us as guests, Uncle Puffy Beard."

Facing the 'offense' from the familiar Luffy, the guards next to him glared! Instead, the murloc king just waved his hand grandly.

"This is my castle, visit it to your heart's content!"

Although it is a building located in the sea, there is no water in many places in the building. After all, it doesn't matter whether it's a murloc or a mermaid. They are no longer just 'fish'. Whether it is food or clothing, these will be corroded if soaked in water for a long time.

"Meat!! I want to eat meat!!"

"Hohohohoho~~ I'll let the chef prepare it..."

However, with Luffy's temper, how could he honestly wait for the chef to cook?

When Roman and the others communicated with the murloc king like "fortunate meeting" and "long admiration", Luffy had already activated "smell and domineering", and people walked around and quietly disappeared into the hall, making everyone Roman, the only one who noticed, rubbed his temples.

No matter when and where, Luffy can be as natural as in his own home, it is simply a real 'home away from home'.

"Is this the 'White Knight'..."

King Neptune of Fishman Island blinked hard and hesitated to speak, "Your Excellency...do you have any relatives like brothers?"

"No,"

Roman shook his head, "However, many people say that my face is too popular and difficult to distinguish."

? ? ! !

Please apologize to the public.

"yes····"

Hmm, ah, perfunctory, Roman has seen Luffy sneak into the boudoir of the mermaid princess: the "hard shell tower" with various weapons on the outer wall.

“Food~~”

Following the aroma, Luffy rushed towards the food in a straight line, and then stepped on two soft mountain peaks.

"Huh~~ who is it!"

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Luffy wants to develop fourth gear. This is a big car...

Is the fifth gear the giant form?

The white dove who complained tilted its head and looked into the distance, a huge ax slowly spinning and flying straight towards this side! The speed is not considered fast, and logically speaking, the kinetic energy above should have been exhausted long ago, but the ax continued to fly against common sense.

The fruit of the target, Van der Dyken IX.

It is also a very BUG fruit——with the strength of Vander Daken IX, the fruit can actually propel the super giant ship 'Noah' half the size of Murloc Island. pity:

This guy doesn't have long to live~~

never mind,

The white pigeon shook its head, let the ax fly past him, and then flew in through the open door!

clang!

"what?"

Not to mention Luffy, it is impossible for any member of the Straw Hats to be injured by this kind of attack. It is completely useless for master combat, - in fact, the real use of this fruit is for transportation: it can automatically send the goods to other parts of the world with a touch, if it is used for express delivery...

Tsk tsk tsk, already made a fortune!

Take a look at Valbo, relying on Wabo Metal to make a comeback, marry Miss World, and directly buy Dao Jianguo! Throwing away these will only use the fruit ability as a battle, killing dozens of hard-working people.

blah blah~~

The dove spread its wings and flew away, because:

"Princess?!"

"It's the direction of the Shell Tower—"

The guards of Dragon Palace are here.
