The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Wow, that's the Red Earth Continent!"

"It's blocked by clouds, so I can't see the top."

Roman raised his head and glanced at the towering red sky, his eyes flashed.

"That is to say, if we cross the Red Earth Continent now..."

Roman turned to look at the others on the deck.

"You can come directly to the new world..."

And it just so happens that Roman has this 'ability' to cheat and be able to enter the end of the great route in the shortest possible time.

? ? ?

"This is not fun at all!!"

Facing Luffy's complaints, Roman just shrugged.

"Of course, I'm just saying that."

"Not to mention whether I have the physical strength to leap over the Red Earth Continent, just the fact that there are hundreds of millions of pirates running all over the ground in the New World can make me die suddenly at any time."

"Hahaha, sailing is only exciting if you fight all the way!"

I have to admit that in many cases, Luffy can grasp the key points best - it is wise to abandon shortcuts and "level up" all the way along the great route.

"There is an entrance ahead!"

"Be careful, we're going to be sucked in!"

In the towering red soil continent ahead, a 'river channel' appeared on the mountain, and the endless river rushed towards the top of the mountain! This is the entrance to the great route.

"Oh oh oh, I heard that half of the people go here and die."

Sanji looked at the 'water channel' on the hillside in front of him. If he couldn't keep the ship on the correct current, it was very likely that the ship's course would be skewed and it would crash into the red earth continent.

"give it to me,"

At this time, it was Nami's turn to play. Only she can accurately grasp the ocean current under the boat, so as not to cause accidents of collision with the boat.

"Then, I'll help too."

Roman opened his arms, and sheets of white paper flew out of his arms. Form a pair of 'wings' on the left and right sides of the Golden Merry.

"Paper Dance - Horizontal Wings!"

"Very well, this will minimize the possibility of the ship being swept away by turbulence. But—"

Even Nami, who has the most experience in sailing, has never experienced this kind of experience that requires a "boat to climb a mountain".

"Be careful--"

"Go in!!!"

With Nami at the helm, Roman stabilized the ship, even in stormy seas and wind and rain! The Golden Merry was still smoothly inserted into the entrance of the 'Great Route' between the red earth continents.

As the turbulent current pushed the whole ship to 'crawl' at high speed, the scenery in everyone's eyes receded rapidly! until:

"Oh oh oh, I see the great route!"

Luffy, who was sitting on the head of the "sheep" on the bow of the Golden Merry, shouted, the ship reached the top of the mountain, and looked around: sparkling, endless.

"This is the greatest ocean in the whole world!"

"Here we come, go—"

As it reached the top of the mountain, the seawater of the other three oceans also joined here, pushing the Golden Merry all the way down. — Just rush out of this waterway, and here it is:

?

"What's that, Mountain?"

"Boohoooh~~~~"

However, in front of the Golden Merry, which dives down at high speed, is a black mountain that goes straight into the sky...

"That's not a mountain, that's a whale?!"

"It's spectacular!"

"Oh oh oh, such a big whale~~~"

Facing the elated Luffy and the crowd, Roman held his forehead and couldn't bear to look directly.

"Haven't you guys considered that if we rush down at this speed and hit this giant whale head-on, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die?"

"Ah~~!?"

"Roman, think of a way!" X5

···········

"What do you think of me! Do you think the almighty Tinkerbell...?"

Having said that, Roman was already prepared for this scenario. After all, after planning to board the Luffy ship, how to survive in various extreme environments such as sea, land and air has become a problem that Roman has been thinking about.

Don't ask, ask is love...

Snapped!

With his hands together, sheets of white paper fluttered out of Roman's body, thousands of them. With the sound of clattering, they all gathered and assembled towards the stern of the ship.

"Paper Dance - Parachute!"

Pieces of white paper formed a huge 'parachute' at the stern. ——Although it's a parachute, it should be called a 'deceleration parachute' to be correct. It's the kind that Roman used on the space shuttle in his previous life. It sounds very high-end, in fact...

It's just a relatively strong umbrella.

But no matter what, under the deceleration of this huge 'paper umbrella', the speed of the Golden Merry rushing down from the top of the mountain continued to decrease rapidly, and when it approached the sea level, it had almost stopped.

"very good--"

snap,

The decelerating Golden Merry collided with a black whale like a mountain, and the head of the sheep in front was broken off the ship. But compared to the possible ship crash and death before, it is much better.

"Turn right, let's go around..."

Just as Roman was about to go around this 'big guy', Luffy jumped onto the side of the ship with a snap.

"You broke my...private seats!"

?

hey don't you-

"Rubber-gun!"

Snapped! !

The extended fist slammed into the eyes of the giant whale, perfectly explaining what it meant to be immortal.

"Are you an idiot!??!" X5

Nami, Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji burst into tears at the same time!

As expected of One Piece, he can easily make the famous Sauron burst into tears...

"calm down···"

Roman, who was at the helm, no longer knew what he was talking about.

"As long as I develop a 'golden circle' drawn on paper, affect the surrounding velocity field through friction, and control the movement of water and air in a golden spiral, I will be able to break through time and space and travel back to before I met Luffy..." (Araki Science)

glance,

The eyes, which were several times bigger than the entire Golden Merry, turned and looked at the 'little thing' that had just attacked it.

"Hmph, let the horse come over—"

Boom!

"Shut up!!" X3

Facing Luffy who was kicked on the deck by Sauron, Usopp, and Sanji at the same time, if it weren't for holding the rudder, Roman would have rushed to make up for it.

"Hit, hit me! This captain, it doesn't matter if you don't—"

Doesn't it look at the level to open monsters? !

Then:

"Careful, it's sucking water—"

As the giant whale's mouth opened, the Golden Merry, which was less than a fraction of a tooth of the opponent, was sucked into the opponent's abyssal mouth without any resistance!

swipe swipe~~

Paper tapes flew out one by one, quickly tying up everyone on board. Then:

"Let it be fate."

Roman is tired, Roman can't get up again, Roman started to drift with the tide~~~

—————

Under the 'blue sky and white clouds'.

"what do you think?"

Facing Zoro's question, Sanji looked around while smoking a cigarette.

"How can I feel... I feel like we were swallowed by a whale..."

"Hahaha, aren't we living a good life!"

This is the eternally upbeat trio.

As for the others—

Usopp, who fainted again, had a peaceful face, and even held a bouquet of flowers in his hand. It would be more perfect if he added a suicide note.

"Mama Belmer...I want to go home."

Giant sea kings, giant whales, people and boats were swallowed in one gulp... Nami, who wanted to cry but had no tears, had already begun to miss Cocosia Village.

"Roman, Roman, look at the small island over there~~"

Facing Luffy's shout, Roman had already conjured up a sun lounger out of paper, and lay down on it, looking like a 'salted fish'.

"I'm not Roman~~~~"

"I'm just a salted fish,"

"Just let me hang up..."

Drive a big dragon at the first level, drive a boat and rush to the tower... I can't move it, I don't want to play, so I leave...

"This...isn't a hallucination?"

The big-hearted trio had already calmed down, and pointed to an old man lying on a sun lounger on the small island and asked.

"What about this one?"

——

It was a strong old man, wearing a beach shirt, beach shorts, and slippers, sitting under the coconut tree on the island and reading the newspaper.

Facing the Golden Merry, he just glanced slightly, the eyes behind the glasses were extremely sharp!

"Hey...what are you looking at,...if you want...to fight...we have cannons..."

Facing Usopp's trembling threat, the old man just spit out a sentence coldly.

"I advise you not to,"

"People will die."

"Oh, who do you think will die?"

Facing Sanji, who was full of fighting spirit, the old man just uttered a word calmly.

"I."

? ?

"You're talking about you!!"

Is this the most embarrassing thing to say in the most embarrassing tone?

"Forget it, don't be impulsive."

Zoro said, Sanji, don't stand up and negotiate with your stamina, let me do it:

"Master, can you tell us who you are and where this is?"

Facing the 'kind' Zoro, the old man lying reading a newspaper snorted coldly.

"When asking someone, it's polite to declare yourself first, right?"

"Uh-huh······"

"You're right," for the sake of intelligence, endured. "My name is····"

"My name is Kurokas, and I am the lighthouse keeper of Gemini Gorge. I am 71 years old, Gemini, and have blood type AB."

?

You didn't say everything...

"Can I kill him!"

Zoro, who was tricked, immediately showed his murderous aura, and Luffy behind him patted him on the shoulder.

"Forget it, don't be angry..."

? !

Kurokas -

Roman, who was lying on the side with salted fish, flashed his eyes.

This name... Although the identity of a mere lighthouse keeper is very ordinary, Roman knows that this old man has another 'unordinary' identity!

One Piece, Gol D. Roger's ship doctor.

Then, it's time to act.
