The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hmph, trespassing on someone else's territory without permission,"

The old man put away the newspaper and stood up.

"Do you think this is the belly of a mouse?"

········

"Sure enough, we were indeed swallowed by the whale."

Nami, who had recovered, looked at the surrounding scenery thoughtfully.

"No wonder, I said why the clouds in the sky have not changed..."

"That's what I drew."

········

"Then...why is there light?"

"It's a plant called luminous moss, which parasitizes the stomach wall of the whale." The old man pointed to the 'sea surface'... Well, it's actually a huge iron gate in the distance of the whale's stomach juice.

"That's the exit, just go through there..."

Rumble! !

The violent vibration interrupted the old man's words, making him look serious.

"Wait for me a moment,"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Nami, Luffy and others to react, they jumped into the sea... gastric juice with a plop.

"What should we do now?"

While several people looked at each other in blank dismay, the Golden Meli had already turned around slowly.

"Cold salad! Why don't you come over and row a boat?"

A long paddle was thrown onto the deck by the 'White Knight', and Roman, who was at the helm, looked at the trio of coolies angrily.

"Start work! Let's go to the exit and wait for this uncle to open the door."

It is impossible to salt fish, and there is no future for salted fish in this world. ——Don't you see, Aaron used to be a murloc cadre working hard on the great route, but he went to the East China Sea to fish for eleven years, and he was completely useless!

"There is no wind here, so we can only advance by paddling manually, and I leave it to you."

No matter how you say it, the Golden Merry is a sea-going ship, at least dozens of tons. Fortunately, the trio of coolies are all strong monsters, and it is not a problem for them to push the sailboat with oars. but:

"This vibration...what is this whale doing...?"

"It's hitting the red land,"

Roman took the topic angrily, "Didn't you pay attention before? Just look at the dense wounds on his head~~"

"Then why did it hit the red earth continent?"

Facing Usopp's question, Roman at the helm rolled his eyes, "Maybe it can't think about it."

·······

Soon, the violent vibrations gradually stopped, and the Golden Merry also came to the huge iron gate. If the old man is right, opening this place will allow you to—

Boom!

On a platform above the huge iron gate, a normal door was opened by a violent shock, and two people rolled out of it...

"Ahhhh~~~"

"I'm about to fall~~~"

Plop, plop!

Two figures, a man and a woman, danced and flew down, falling into the gastric juice of the sea... whale, but there was another figure:

"Ah~~,"

"Beautiful lady, I'm here to save you~~"

Will there be such a performance, who else on the entire Golden Merry besides Sanji? Everyone else is watching the show calmly, so after Sanji fished out the girl with the blue ponytail and another man with...the crown:

"Who are these two guys~~"

"He's still carrying a cannon, isn't he a bounty hunter?"

Just when several people were looking carelessly at the two men and women in strange clothes, the old man's roar came from the small platform of the iron gate just now.

"With me here, I will never let you hurt Rab!"

? ?

"We do not·····"

Luffy and the others looked dazed, and when they denied San Lian with "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense", the iconic villain's laughter came from behind.

"Hey hey hey~~~"

"Hehehe~~~"

"Now we're in the belly of a whale..."

"Just make a hole in the stomach to make..."

While talking, the two men and women who had just been rescued directly picked up the... bazooka... bazooka... or something, and when the trigger was pressed, two shells blasted towards the 'wall' on the old man's side!

"Don't even think about—"

At a critical moment, the old man suddenly jumped in front of the cannonball! With two bangs, black smoke fell down.

!

"Hohohoho, if you want to protect this whale, it's up to you~~~"

"Hahaha, we're going to use it as food for our town—"

Boom, boom!

The men and women with the standard villain appearance were just protruding for a second, and they were punched to the ground by Lu Fei behind him!

"Well, I can't help but punch someone."

·······

Just as everyone else was focusing on these two funny people, only Roman looked at the old man who was blasted into the water and then crawled out: Kurokas.

Ha ha,

How dare you say that you won't be domineering when you catch a bullet in your face but your glasses are unscathed?

—————

"The name of this whale is Rab, and its race is 'Island Whale'." Because Luffy stopped two men and women who intended to hurt the whale, the old man took advantage of the situation to tell the cause and effect.

"These two bastards are playing with Rab, because he's got enough meat to feed a town for years."

"But I won't let them succeed, not only because Raab is my friend, but also an agreement between me and others."

Agreement, a simple word, carries the dreams and stories of countless people.

"Many years ago, a group of pirates from the West Sea passed by here. They are not so much pirates as they are a music group..." Following the old man's narration, Roman, Luffy and the others also knew this story.

"Their ship was damaged on the way to the great line, and they stayed here for a while, so we became friends too."

"Rab is too young to follow them into the great route, so they left Rab here, and agreed to come back to pick him up after a week around the great route..."

As a result, this trip lasted fifty years!

"Fifty years? That is to say..."

"That's right, that pirate group has been buried by the Great Line."

"In these years, Rab has grown from a small whale to a real 'island whale'. It has no way to swim upstream to the West Sea through the great route to verify whether its companions have returned to their hometown... "

In fact, with Rab's IQ of being able to understand human language, how could it not know that the former 'partners' have probably already died in the sea?

It's just...just...not reconciled!

"That's why this giant whale named Raab blocked the entrance of the great route, and at the same time kept hitting the red earth continent?"

"Yes, and the only thing I can do is to calm it down with drugs."

Ka Ka Ka,

As the huge iron gate opened, a waterway appeared in front of the Golden Merry.

"From here to the sea outside, after going out, you will be safe."

"Wow, it's amazing to build such a place in the belly of a whale..."

Facing Nami's admiration, the old man replied calmly.

"Just take it as a doctor's playful heart, because Rab is too huge, you can only treat it from the body..."

"Huh? Are you a doctor?"

Luffy found the blind spot, "Come on board our ship and be the ship's doctor~~"

"Stop joking, old man, I don't have the energy to fight with you young people..."

As the gate opened, the Golden Merry slowly sailed out of the... belly of the whale Raab. As for the two men and women who intended to kill the whale.

"What are they going to do?"

"Just throw it around here..."

Plop, plop,

"Ah, that girl with blue hair and ponytail is really a mysterious woman~~"

Facing the Straw Hat Pirates who "let them go", the men and women in the water look like "standard villains".

"Let's wait and see, bumpkin pirates!"

"We will definitely take this whale!"

After finishing the ruthless words, he turned around and left in a swift stroke... Roman's eyes were wide open to see.

It is indeed a great route, even the two miscellaneous soldiers have a good skill of "white stripes in the waves"! No, they are not actually miscellaneous soldiers. The two of them are agents of the "Baroque Studio" under Sand Crocodile Crocodile.

The man's code name is Mr.9, and he is a fake prince who looks very unreliable.

The girl's code name is Miss. Wednesday, and she is... Well, she is still a villain with a very 'hot eye' style!

Of course, Roman knew that the other party had another identity, the princess of Alabasta: Neferutari-Vivi.

For her own country, go undercover to the "Baroque Studio" to investigate the brave girl behind the scenes.

Vivi,

Roman turned around in his mind, thinking about whether this 'plot' could be bypassed. The final conclusion is: Unless he directly changes the next itinerary, with the temper of Luffy and Nami, he will definitely not die...

In that case, it would mean confronting the 'Sand Crocodile'!

Shichibukai, Crocodile.

The first real 'master' on the great line! The strong man who has easily pushed Luffy and his party into desperation several times!

Although Roman once complained that he and Moria are "stepping stones", but I have to admit that with the current strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, there is no suspense to meet the sand crocodile...

Spike!

So, how did Luffy win the fight? !

Forget it, shaking his head and not thinking about this question, Roman's eyes involuntarily fell on the old man in shirt and shorts: Kulocas.

The ship doctor of the One Piece must be proficient in knowledge and domineering, otherwise how dare he dig out various tunnel structures in the body of the whale Rab? At the same time, I just performed the unique skill of catching shells with one hand and face, even if the armed color can't 'appear' (obvious black appears), but at least it can be wound to increase defense...

I can only try to see if I can take out something from the other party.

Otherwise... Could it be that 'fate' is really used to defeat the sand crocodile?

Anyway, Roman can't do it!

Even if it's stealing, cheating, poisoning, or assassinating, he must take his own destiny into his own hands.
