The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Mr. Roman, is that the 'forest' on land?"

"No, it's just a tree."

"What about this? Is this the legendary 'Little Bird'?"

"...No, this is just a group of white pigeons waiting to be fed."

Bai Xing, who came to land for the first time, was simply a curious baby. He had to ask a lot of things when he saw it, which made the big prince Sha Xing next to him look embarrassed.

"Shirahoshi, don't bother Your Excellency Roman too much."

"It doesn't matter, being idle is idle anyway."

With Roman here, of course there would be no provocative scenes from a guy with no eyesight. After all, the royal families in other places are not Tianlong people, and they have long been wiped out in court struggles, revolutionary uprisings, and pirate invasions without any skills.

Even if you are proud and arrogant, but here——

In the center of the world, in front of the 'Navy' representing ultimate violence and the 'Holy Land' representing ultimate power: the dragon must be coiled, and the tiger must lie down!

"We will take the bubble cable car to the Red Earth Continent. More than 50 member countries will hold a world conference in the holy land of Mariejoa above. If you want your fishman island to be treated equally by other countries, you must show it at the conference. Own 'strong'."

A weak country has no diplomacy, and a strong country has no righteous war.

If it is said that loyalty and friendship can be respected at the personal level; then when it rises to the national level, there are only naked interests left.

Of course, individuals can do anything for the sake of loyalty, but for the sake of friendship, the country will give it all to help? Your generals, ministers, and citizens will stand up against you! Because what you have to consider is not the problem of one person, but the collective interests of thousands of people.

"My words may be a bit blunt, but if the Fishman Island wants to be recognized by the human nations, strength is the most important condition."

When a group of children gather together, one of the strongest children will become the 'Kid King'. The relationship between countries is actually very simple. The so-called diplomacy first depends on whether the strengths of the two sides are equal.

Especially in this world of constant wars, how many powerful fighters you have means how much capital you have——the capital of negotiation! Because whoever is stronger is the one who has the final say, no matter whether you are reasonable or not, as long as you are obedient, it is reasonable.

It’s like the famous saying of the former American president: ‘The first thing you need to say when you encounter a problem is: Where is our aircraft carrier? '

To put it bluntly, the so-called unfathomable 'diplomatic rhetoric' is nothing more than children's fists and intimidation.

"Speaking of strength, Shirahoshi, have you seriously trained?"

As the only condition for "helping" Murloc Island, Roman made a detailed training schedule for Shirahoshi, not to mention becoming the "Sea King" who leaped across the great route, but at least he had some self-preservation power.

"Training...training?"

"Mr. Roman... this, that..."

Looking at Bai Xing who was looking left and right, Roman let out a long sigh.

Waste oh waste, the majestic Neptune's talent... If this is replaced by Jinbei, I am afraid that he will rise to become the "Six Emperors" immediately.

"Ahem, Your Excellency Roman, in fact, Shirahoshi also exercises..."

The big prince, Sha Xing, coughed dryly. Although he just swam to the seabed forest after a meal, it was more appropriate to say that he was playing rather than exercising.

"It's good for you to want to protect your sister, but if you have talent in this world, you'd better work hard."

How many ordinary people without talents are working hard, and geniuses have no reason to be lazy.

"Like what happened to Hody Jones last time, if Shirahoshi had completely controlled his abilities, a few drug-addicted rebels would immediately dismantle them with a single order..."

Facing Roman's earnest words, the three princes and princesses of Murloc Island nodded earnestly like elementary school students. In the eyes of the people who eat melons:

"As expected of His Excellency Roman, even the legendary murlocs were reprimanded to the point of obedience."

"Although I don't understand it, I was shocked..."

"Karoo, found the target!"

?

call out--!

A black light rushed towards Roman, and when Shark Star subconsciously reached out to swing his trident, Roman had already taken the initiative to take a step forward. Then:

Boom~~

The visitor even flew out with Roman, and after gliding on the ground for a certain distance.

"Roman!! Long time no see~~"

"Indeed, it's been a long time. I mean, your strength has improved a lot."

Facing Weiwei, who was riding a duck and slammed into her neck, Roman rolled his eyes.

"This kind of dangerous attack is best used with caution. If I had put my arms in front of me just now, I would be a seriously injured princess flying upside down and a walking duck with a bent neck."

"Pfft, as expected, Roman, you haven't changed at all. ——No, it should be said that you are much calmer, more confident, and stronger than you were back then."

"Quack quack quack ~~" (Princess Vivi is right!)

·······

"Who is this····?"

After discovering that Roman and Shark Xing who came to know each other quietly put away the trident, he bent slightly and nodded to ask the other party's identity. ——The ones who can come here at this point in time are either the royal family or the powerhouses of their country! And this petite human girl:

"Hello, my humble Neferutari Vivi."

Facing the huge shark star, Weiwei gracefully raised the hem of her skirt and retreated into a half-squat, performing a lady's etiquette.

"Princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, accompanying her father to attend the World Conference."

"It turned out to be Princess Neferutari, nice to meet you."

As the royal family of Murloc Island who set foot in the human world for the first time, King Neptune adhered to the principle of saying more and doing more, saying less and making less mistakes, and mainly let the steady prince Sharkstar communicate. ——In this way, even if Shark Star said something wrong, he could use "the young prince is ignorant" to ease it up.

I have to say that diplomacy is a very troublesome thing.

Especially the 'weak' side.

"Roman, you should look at him with admiration in three days."

"In the past two years, I have exercised the 'knowledgeable domineering' you left behind, and now I am the number one warrior in Alabasta!"

Bell of the Falcon, Gaka of the Jackal: Princess Weiwei, you are the future queen, so be it if you say so.

Wei Wei is different from Bai Xing, she has truly experienced the cruelty of this world. For those without strength, even 'dreams', 'faith', 'life', and 'fate' are just playthings in the hands of the strong, so she does have a good way to practice the know-how and domineering methods left by Roman.

"Very good, I have a copy of 'Armed Color Domineering' here."

With the flip of a palm, a white paper fell into Roman's hands, and he handed it to Weiwei while patting her on the shoulder.

"Come on! Strive for two years of military success, I am optimistic about you!"

Ah this...

Friends who haven't seen each other for a few years, give training books when they meet?

"Sure enough, Roman, you are still the same. No matter who wants the other party to become stronger."

But Weiwei still took the book and raised it.

"Thanks."

Only when he is recognized by Roman as a 'partner', or someone related to a partner, will he find a way to make the other party stronger. while others:

Hehe, today's weather is really nice~~

"Is this Princess Baixing?"

"Yes, it is,"

Facing the cautious giant mermaid princess, Weiwei stretched out her hand proactively.

"Just now I saw Roman training you, wouldn't it be him who also asked you to work hard?"

"I····"

"Sure enough! Let me tell you, Roman..."

"Huh? At that time, Mr. Roman actually..."

? !

Is it really okay for you to look like 'good girlfriends' so quickly?

"Lord Roman,"

"King Cobra, your body?"

"No, I'm old."

Facing Cobra, who was sitting in a wheelchair and coughing again and again, Roman was speechless.

"Mr. Cobra, you seem to be only fifty this year, right?"

You have the nerve to say that you are 'old'!

What is the concept of fifty years old?

The eldest son of the BIG MOM family, Charlotte Perospero, is fifty. He can carry a knife to slash people and give advice when he retreats; stress free. In contrast to Cobra:

Her hair started to turn grey, she was sitting in a wheelchair, and was being pushed all the way coughing. She had a bit of Zhuge Qin's late-stage demeanor.

"Your body is too..."

"Just right, I remember that there is a miracle doctor among the people who came to the World Conference this time."

Roman stroked his chin and thought about it. Chopper's hometown: Dalton, the former Drum Kingdom and now the Sakura Kingdom's king, will also attend the World Conference. At the same time, Chopper's doctor, Dr. Kureha, will also serve as a guard. .

At that time, let the 140-year-old genius doctor show Cobra, if not, Roman will use the devil fruit! I don't believe there is any disease in this world that cannot be solved by 'hormonal ability', 'surgery ability' or even 'replication ability'.

"Excuse me·····"

At this moment, a suspicious voice made Roman turn around, and there was another 'acquaintance' in front of him.

"Sorry, I just think your breath is a bit familiar..."

Don't use knowledge and arrogance in this kind of place. Facing the girl in front of him who has only been separated for more than ten days in a strict sense, Roman looked behind her helplessly:

It was Princess Dressrosa in a costume, smiling Violet, who was also the next queen.

As a person with the ability of 'gazing fruit', of course she 'sees through' Roman's true identity long ago. But it seemed that Rebecca didn't know that the alternate admiral standing in front of her was the mysterious magician 'Neo' in the arena.

"Okay, don't stand here and affect the traffic. If you have anything to say, go up and say it."

Under Roman's introduction, the royal families of the three kingdoms quickly became acquainted. ——The royal family who can become friends with the Straw Hats will never be bad in character, and they can even be said to be rare "good people" in this world.

Although many times, in this world, "good guy" is a derogatory term in the eyes of many people.

"Then let's take the No. 2 Bubble Cable Car together,"

Although the so-called Bubble Cable Car is named 'car', it is actually more like a huge building! And the creatures in this world... even the height of humans are quite fascinating, plus the navy has a group of giant lieutenant generals. So even Shirahoshi can easily stand on the viewing platform of the cable car and slowly rise with the huge building:

"This is the sun..."

"It's so bright, it looks like a big fireball!"

Shirahoshi, who saw the sun for the first time, was dumbfounded.

"The sky is so high that there is no end, and the sea has no limit..."

The giant mermaid shed tears,

"If it can be realized, I also want to try to live on the ground... so that everyone can live under the 'sunshine'."

Facing Shirahoshi who was crying, Weiwei and Rebecca next to her were silent and didn't know how to comfort each other. At this time, of course, the "atmosphere terminator" is needed to appear:

"This is normal,"

Roman next to him nodded solemnly.

"With Shirahoshi's strength, staring directly at the sun for a long time will definitely stimulate the lacrimal gland. If it is someone else,—for example, me. Don't talk about the mere sunshine, just swim a few times in the middle of the magma..."

This Roman is hopeless!

Weiwei rubbed her forehead helplessly, and even Rebecca next to her had a strong sense of sight.

This 'steel' character, this familiar tone, this Roman candidate general, is the mysterious magician 'Neo' in the arena, right?
