The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

On the land next to the Twin Gorges Lighthouse.

"Is it okay to just let those two go?"

Nami is a little worried, no matter how you look at this behavior of letting the tiger go back to the mountain...

"Don't worry, they'll be back soon."

Facing Roman's calm words, the others all had question marks on their faces. And Roman didn't intend to show any tricks, so he directly spread his palms:

In the palm of his hand was a 'watch', but unlike a flat watch, it was a round glass sphere with a slightly vibrating pointer inside.

"Record pointer."

Looking at a few curious faces, Roman had no choice but to continue popularizing science.

"Many islands on the great route have strong magnetic fields, so ordinary compass is completely inapplicable here. This special recording pointer is necessary to sail..."

"It can 'record' the magnetic force between the islands, and rely on it to indicate the direction of the next island..."

Oh~~~X3

Roman's words made Nami, Usopp and Sanji nod again and again, with expressions of "learned". And the old man on the other side glanced at Roman:

"I can't tell, you know a lot about the great route."

"Are you the navigator of this ship?"

Facing the old man Kurokas' question, Roman shook his head and pointed to Nami who was smiling awkwardly beside him.

"She is our navigator, and I—"

Touching his chin and thinking about it, Roman finally gave himself a clear position.

"I'm the 'nanny' on board."

? ? ?

"It's normal for people to have hard ears..." Kulocas sighed with his hands behind his back, causing the embarrassed Nami to quickly change the subject.

"Roman, why do you have this 'record pointer'?"

"It's very simple, I took it from the man named Mr.9 just now."

? ?

"Ah this..."

Nami was speechless. This is stealing, right? Steal it! Unexpectedly, Roman, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually robbed me of my character design...

"We saved them, and it's not too much to reap some benefits, right? — Or are you going to continue sailing with a compass pointing in all directions?"

"Not too much, not too much..."

As the so-called dead friends never die, if it weren't for those two "good-hearted people", their Straw Hat Pirates would be drifting in the sea... However, when it comes to straw hats... it's been a while. I heard Luffy's voice playing tricks, it's not scientific at all—! ? ?

"Roman, tell us, is that an illusion? I saw Luffy..."

On the giant whale Rab in the nearby sea, a figure holding a mast is galloping all the way up! Jean Roman nodded seriously.

"It's not an illusion, what you see is Luffy himself."

Compared to the shocked Nami and Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, and Roman have all been 'immune' to Luffy's behavior, and they even have a leisurely chat.

"What is that idiot going to do?"

This is Sanji with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I don't know, maybe you want to climb a mountain?"

This is Zoro holding three knives at his waist.

"However, he is carrying the mast of the Golden Merry, right—"

"Yes, the mainmast again."

Usopp, who had the best eyesight, nodded. Everyone was speechless, and the scene was once very cold. Until he had run to the top of the mountain... the top of the whale head, Luffy, who was completely invisible from below, sent his iconic:

"rubber--"

? !

"Hiss, that guy won't be..."

"Flower arrangement!"

"Booooooooh~~~!!!!!!"

No need to look, just listening to the call of the giant whale Rab, you know that Luffy is playing tricks again! And most likely he was the one who attacked the whale...

Boom boom boom!

The huge whale suddenly 'knocked' towards the land where everyone was, like a mountain capsized! Because above its head, a figure firmly grasping the mast inserted into its wound makes it helpless.

"Asshole~~"

"You're going to kill us—"

"Run!"

Facing the falling giant whale, Roman spread his wings instantly, hugged Nami and flew out! Usopp was still in tears on his feet, and Sanji and Zoro also ran away immediately. Finally before Raab the whale hits land:

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and the earth shook in the true sense! In the splash of earth and rock, there was a sound of 'ba chi'.

"Hey, hey, boy!"

The others didn't respond yet, but the old man Kulocas was ready to rush up anxiously, as if his grandson had been pinned down! ——but was immediately pulled by Roman's paper.

"Don't get excited, old man, that guy won't die from a blunt weapon!"

It’s just a slap in the face~~ After thinking about it, Kaido’s iron rod and hammer can stand still...

Sure enough, as Rab raised his head, Luffy who had just been 'squashed' turned over and got up, and immediately hit Rab's eyeball with a "rubber-gun", causing the giant whale to shake his head in pain, and again Smash Luffy out!

Snapped!

The whole person flew under the lighthouse where Roman and others retreated, and slowly slid down like a mural! Facing the angry giant whale and everyone's puzzlement, the boy named Luffy stood up and shouted at Rab.

"We tied!!!"

Ah this...

"I'm strong. We didn't decide the winner. We must fight again!"

"Your companion is dead, but I am your opponent!"

"After we circle the great route for a week, let's fight again!!"

——

Fifty years have passed, and the waiting of the whale named Raab has long been meaningless. It is only suffering now. However, Luffy gave its waiting "new meaning" again.

Whether it's a friend or an 'opponent', whether it's a human or a whale, as long as you have hope, you can persevere in living!

"Waiting for others to wait for you casually, what a wayward guy!"

Although Roman was complaining, he didn't show any impatience. Although Luffy is often out of tune, he is extremely reliable when it comes to critical moments.

"Hmph, this is our captain."

Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, or standing or crouching behind, looking at Luffy who made an agreement with the whale Rab, all with smiles on the corners of their mouths.

·······

"Okay, let's go."

After removing the mast above the whale's head and reinstalling it on the Golden Merry, he also repaired the broken head of the sheep. It's time for everyone to set sail, but before that, as Roman said:

"Please, take us with you!"

Watching a man and a woman kneeling in front of them and going back: the two people who tried to kill Raab the whale before, Mr. 9 and Miss. Wednesday.

"It's a good idea, you guys wanted to kill Rab before~~"

"By the way, who are you?"

Facing Usopp's question, the man with the crooked crown answered solemnly.

"I am a prince."

However:

"lie!"

Even Usopp doesn't believe that there is such a hip-pull prince.

"In short, our identities cannot be disclosed, we will die if we do so~~~"

"We don't want to do such sneaky things, but the 'company' has rules..."

"yes?"

Nami with a 'naive' face generously agreed to the other party's request.

"We can put you on a boat, but we only have a normal compass..."

"Wh...what, did you come to the great route to die!!"

"Keep us humbled, did you go there too—"

The two people who had just knelt down and begged got up angrily!

"Ah, we picked up a good thing just now," Nami took out the record pointer Roman gave her, with an 'innocent' look on her face. "So you don't want to take our boat~~"

"You have a lot of adults, just treat us as..." X2

The two prostrated themselves in tears!

That is clearly our pointer~~~

"Get on board."

Facing the two being played by Nami, Luffy made a random decision.

Now that the captain had spoken, of course no one would object, and soon the group set sail after bidding farewell to the whale Rab and the old man Kulocas who guarded the lighthouse.

Facing the receding Golden Merry, the old man's expression gradually became serious.

"Is this the person we're waiting for?"

"A very imposing boy, don't you think so, Roger."

After speaking, he turned and looked in the direction of the lighthouse behind him.

"Then why did you stay?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the seniors,"

In the calm voice, Roman slowly walked out from behind the lighthouse. Obviously, on the Golden Merry that went away, a 'Roman' was seriously driving the ship!

"Is it a puppet created by the fruit ability?"

Facing the sharp eyes of the old man named Kurokas, 'Roman' under the lighthouse spread his hands.

"It was seen through at a glance,"

"Worthy of being the ship's doctor of One Piece King Gol D. Roger."
