The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Plop! X3

When the man next to him raised his head, the three of Luffy were so frightened that they suddenly rolled on their backs into a ball. After all, the experience of the ring island being hanged and beaten by a group is definitely unforgettable for the Straw Hats——

"What are you panicking about?"

Brook looked calm, although he no longer had a 'face'.

"Who is this?"

"Admiral, Aokiji!!"

Luffy got up and immediately assumed an attacking posture.

"Zoro, Sanji!"

"Oh!" X2

Facing the fully alert group of four in the bath, Aokiji scratched his hair lazily.

"How should I put it, I'm not here to arrest you. After all, I'm not a navy anymore," he said, turning his head to look at the pigeon squatting on the skylight of the hot spring.

"You mean, Brother Roman."

blah blah~~

The white pigeon waving its wings squatted down on the railing of the hot spring, standing on the same front as the four of Luffy.

"Mr. Kuzan resigned from the Navy two years ago, and now... he should be considered a 'social loafer'."

Well, after all, talking about joining the Blackbeard Pirates now will only spoil the atmosphere.

"Actually, I prefer the title 'Partner of Justice'."

As Aokiji stood up from the hot spring, the crackling ice instantly froze into a fake leg, leaving the four of Luffy stunned.

"Oh, this one."

Aokiji, who noticed the eyes of the group of four, patted the large wound on the shoulder and the missing left leg indifferently.

"Accidentally 'playing' too much."

·········································································································…

Baige complained inwardly, but Roman didn't panic. ——Not to mention that Aokiji himself has no malice towards the Straw Hats, just the reason why he appeared here: he also came for Zefa.

"Anyway, this is not a place for conversation."

The white pigeon pecked at the wooden railing of the hot spring, and if it hadn't spoken out, it would have been exactly the same as a normal pigeon.

"I'm going to inform the others, meet at the pier."

—————

"Wow, I made a lot of money~~"

When Roman turned his gaze over, he saw Usopp and Chopper sitting at the back door of the tavern counting money, and Robin with an unfinished expression.

"Is Robin so popular?"

"Of course, look at this tip..."

·······

"I said, didn't you come to inquire about intelligence?"

How come it looks like a show, and it looks like it's fun.

"Mr. Roman, we have a good 'job'."

Robin smiled and took a step forward,

"A lot of navies have come to this island, and the news I got from them is that Mr. Marshal Zefa, who came to hunt down the 'NEO Navy'. That is to say——"

"Instructor Zefa is on this island."

The white pigeon nodded. In fact, other white pigeons had found Zefa and his army in the towering extinct volcano crater behind the town. as well as:

Inserted in the crater, the 'explosive rock' and a straw hat that can be activated at any time!

Hey, Instructor Zefa...

"Let's gather at the pier first, there is a 'person' who has something to say to us."

?

—————

"Humph,"

The pouting cute little Nami turned her head aside, making Roman rub her temples helplessly.

"This... Nami, you also know my aesthetics on clothes..."

For Roman, dressing up doesn't exist at all. After all, Roman himself is a person who runs all over the ground wrapped in a suit of abilities and creations every day...

"Sir, these clothes..."

Facing the pile of replaced children's clothes pointed by the clerk, Roman waved his hand casually.

"It's all wrapped up."

!

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir!"

The clerk who couldn't hold back the smile on his face immediately showed a sincere smile. There is a big difference between choosing clothes for a few hours and buying clothes for a few hours! Sure enough, a gentleman's business is easy to do.

"Let's go~~"

Facing Nami who turned around angrily and was about to leave, Roman threw down a stack of Baileys, and with a big wave of his hand, he packed all the children's clothes that had been changed for several hours into the 'bag of pages'.

Well, although there may not be a chance to wear it in the future, it is good to keep it as a souvenir. ——Maybe "Little Nami" will be useful in the future?

—————

"Aokiji!!!" X4

When they got to the pier, the scene of the hot spring was repeated again. The terrified cries and Usopp who retreated collectively made Aokiji scratch his hair again.

"Well, well, am I that scary?"

No wonder it's not scary!

Everyone couldn't complain. When they were on the circular island, they froze the arms and legs of Sauron and Sanji into popsicles. Luffy and Robin turned into big ice cubes. Roman's hand was beaten into ice lollies. comminuted fracture

That is to say, the physical fitness of everyone in the Straw Hat Group is inhumanly strong, and only with the unscientific medical skills in this world can they be safe and sound.

Otherwise, the people here should be a group of disabled people with broken arms and legs!

"Well, anyway, I've been chasing a man recently."

Aokiji forcibly changed the subject.

"You should have met a very strong uncle recently, right?"

"Zefa..."

"In this era of great pirates, there are constantly pirates moving towards 'one piece'."

Following Aokiji's words, everyone in the Straw Hat Group calmed down, and first listened to what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Is it because there is a 'one piece' in the sea of ​​this world that there are pirates? Or is there a 'one piece' because there are pirates?"

"No matter what, as long as there are pirates, some people will cry because they lost their warm homes and loved ones."

"What is going to happen to end this?"

"The former admiral 'Zefa' came to a conclusion: as long as the 'one piece' disappears, the pirates will disappear."

But that's impossible, Roman lowered his eyes.

Because the appearance of pirates is not all because of 'dreams', but more of the degenerated beasts of people who can't survive! If you can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to fight and kill?

"That's why Zefa wants to destroy the New World.——What a rude idea."

Facing the smiling Aokiji, everyone in the Straw Hats couldn't laugh. In the final analysis, most of them used to hate pirates very much!

Sauron was a pirate hunter who killed pirates for bounties at the beginning; Nami specializes in stealing pirates; Sanji beats up these guys who eat the king's meal every day; facing his mother who died of illness, why doesn't Usopp hope that his father can come back and take a look;

Chopper's "father" has also changed his mind from a pirate to a doctor; not to mention Robin, who has seen more of the dirty face of normal pirates while hiding in Tibet; Franky is also dedicated to killing pirates The boss of the bounty hunter; Brooke...not so much a pirate, but a musician...

But in this world, there is only one Straw Hat Pirates, and only this one!

And the other pirates...

"Straw hat boy, you will stick to your beliefs and fight with Zefa again, right?"

"Then let me see your answer. —Zefa is on this island, and your partner should know the location."

After speaking, Aokiji turned around and waved his hand.

"Bye now."

As Aokiji left, Luffy also turned around silently.

"Roman, lead the way."

"Ok."

———————

In the basin of the crater:

grunt,

I took a sip of the 'JEREZ Sherry' in my hand. This is a wine that is only sold in the New World. It claims to bring people 'joyful feelings as bright as the sun'. It is Zefa's favorite for so many years, or the last hobby.

"free?"

How many crimes have been in your name!

"Arbitrarily reckless, burning, killing and looting, facing swords against each other, massacring cities and destroying countries... so majestic, so domineering, so 'free'!"

Zefa took another sip of wine and stood up, looking at the explosion rocks dotted in front of him and the familiar straw hat in the middle.

"Roger, what is your freedom?!"

"Look at this sea! For your 'freedom', how many civilians die every year? Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or too many to count?"

"A sea without pirates can usher in the true dawn—?!"

"Ain, Binz,"

The old man who was questioning suddenly came to his senses, and turned his head to signal to his two students, "There's another 'rat' coming, get ready to fight!"

"Yes! Teacher." X2

"rubber--"

At the same time, Luffy's signature voice came first. This is followed by:

Boom! !

The fist that pierced the air and produced circles of supersonic waves hit the huge Hailoushi's arm, and the armed arrogance of the two exploded, setting off layers of rocky waves around them, but:

The power is too weak...

Luffy charged up a punch and couldn't even move Zefa's footsteps! Not only is there a gap in the strength of the two before, but also after Luffy's fist touched Zefa's Hailoushi weapon, there was a strong sense of weakness immediately!

Even if the armed color is covered, it will still cause a certain weakening.

"What are you doing here, you bastard pirates."

"Who is a bastard, old man!"

Facing Sanji's words, Zefa just waved back casually.

Boom, boom, boom—

"Hey, hey, isn't it?!"

Usopp stared dumbfounded at the row of slowly approaching figures. Although he had changed into a large white windbreaker, his hair had also turned fluffy golden. But this shape, this attack mode:

As those guys opened their mouths and stretched out their palms one by one, the golden light began to gain momentum!

"Big Bear!!!"

"Pacifist-PX-Z, to be precise."

The white dove next to him added calmly, but these combat robots are the best 'demarcation line'. Those who can kill them alone are the big pirates with hundreds of millions; those who can't beat these pacifists are the "super soldiers" with less than 100 million.

"Leave that female swordsman to me."

Facing the beautiful woman with long and smooth sea blue wavy hair, Sauron flicked the long knife out of its sheath with his thumb and chose his opponent.

"Damn green algae head, dare to preempt!"

Having said that, Sanji still greeted Binz, the "luxury fruit" capable man in a colorful ninja suit! After all, Sanji doesn't hit women, so everyone in the Straw Hats still doesn't know?

And this Binz can use 'shaving' uninterruptedly, plus the ability to control the growth of plants, if he is not careful, he will be tricked. ——Same as Ain, they both belong to the type whose ability can tell the winner in an instant.

So Zoro and Sanji faced these two dangerous enemies without hesitation.

"Uncle!!"

There is no doubt that Luffy is against Kami Zefa.

"Give me back my hat! Change Nami and the others back to their original form! And—"

Glancing at the 'dynamite rocks' scattered all over the ground, Lu Fei looked at the former admiral opposite with serious eyes.

"Return these things..."

"Heh, once a pirate has something he wants, he will take it by force, right?"

Zefa spread his arms and waved to Luffy.

"Hahahaha, if you want these, use the 'way' of pirates!"

Facing Zefa's words, Luffy, whose arms were instantly covered with armed domineering colors, squatted down.

"Second gear!"
