The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

dream:

'Ahem, carelessness. '

While the air was shaking, a man in a white suit suddenly appeared in front of an antique tall building. The sound of the landing immediately caused a group of vague figures to leap out of the building in front of him, and they surrounded him in shock. up.

'General manager? You are...'

‘Impossible, who else in this world can hurt you? ! '

Facing the words of the fuzzy figures who were frightened and angry, the man in the white suit just waved his hands casually.

‘Don’t panic, it’s just a slight loss. After a short break, I will go back and let her meet me Tangtang... Cough cough cough,'

However, what is different from the ease on the mouth is that the bright red coughed up stained the white sleeves red, obviously hurting badly. The man in the white suit raised his hand first to stop the figures around who wanted to say something. With a flip of his wrist, a book appeared in his hand, and then he handed it to a figure in front of him.

‘Take it and my ship to Wano Country’s base, and set off immediately! After that, if there is no order from me, you stay there and don't come back. '

'General manager? ! '

Faced with this obvious tone of "entrusting the funeral", the surrounding figures were commotion again, but the man in the white suit was unmoved.

'Keep them well, as well as the names I gave you and the names of those moves, all remember to pass them on. I'll come back to get it... I'll go and make a break with her first! '

As the man in the white suit wiped the corners of his mouth, his figure slowly turned into lines, obviously activating some kind of 'teleportation' ability.

'Boss! What are you...'

Facing the anxious questions that the figures hadn't finished speaking, the firm tone of the man in the suit who disappeared quickly showed hesitation for the first time.

'Maybe soon,'

'Perhaps... eight hundred years from now. '

'We'll be waiting for you! And wait, sons and grandsons--'

brush,

The world is spinning, everything has become a blur! On the crimson earth, thunder and lightning flashed, mountains and rivers turned upside down, and the sky collapsed. In the end, only a pair of high and indifferent eyes remained:

'Recognize the reality, it's time to wake up from the innocent dream. Both you and he lost, at the hands of someone you trusted. '

The bejeweled dress was spread out on the floor, and the voice was as soft as ever under the high crown.

'Come on, we can rule the world together. '

No, we haven't lost yet.

next time···

————

Open your eyes, strange ceiling.

"you're awake?"

"Nami, your inexplicable lines make people feel a little scary."

?

Ignoring Nami who had a question mark on her face, Roman sat up and glanced at the room he was in. There are two more beds next to it, but they are empty now. So it looks like:

"Luffy and Ace, have they recovered?"

"Yes, Luffy is eating and drinking as usual, and Ace's words should be giving you a headache... Well, it will soon become your headache."

"... Is there a problem with the distribution of the spoils?"

The Straw Hats do whatever they want, whether they are taking risks or fighting, without asking for anything in return. Anyway, with Roman as the big benefactor, there is no time when you are short of money. But the Whitebeard Pirates are not so free and easy. As the captain of tens of thousands of people, Ace must be having a headache now about how to divide the victory cake of this operation?

"Small problems are not worth wasting time at all."

Even the dangerous thing against Kaido has been over, what is there to worry about?

Roman, who uncovered the quilt, got out of bed, and just after doing a few sets of stretching exercises to move his muscles and bones habitually, there was a rumbling noise from far to near.

"Hee hee hee~~Roman!!"

Luffy, who was carrying a few huge pieces of barbecue, rushed into the room first, and directly hit Roman's face with the barbecue in his hand.

"You wake up too slowly, you need to eat more meat."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Sanji's impatient voice came from behind, "For the sick who just woke up... Keke, Roman, eat barbecue, do you think everyone has a rubber stomach like you?"

Handing the special recovery food in his hand to Nami, Sanji was not smoking a cigarette.

"This is the 'restorative vitality food' I learned from the Human Monster Island, which can naturally and quickly restore the body."

"Huh? Why didn't I?"

Faced with Luffy's surprise, Sanji didn't even bother to watch him play tricks.

"Eat your meat!"

"Hmph, what a fuss. Just a small injury, I said Roman will be fine."

Sauron with his arms folded leaned against the door. Although he said so, the fact that he rushed here at the first time already showed that he was by no means as relaxed as he said.

"Is my situation that bad?"

Facing Roman's words, the heartless Luffy expanded his mouth into an abyss and swallowed a large piece of meat.

"I heard from Chopper that your body recovered earlier than Ace and I, Roman. But I don't know if it's because of overuse of your ability or because of your brain injury. You just can't wake up. It scared everyone to death~~"

It's rare that Luffy can remember such a long passage. After all, Chopper's three consecutive words of "it can't be cured, wait for death, and leave" scared everyone to tears.

? !

"how is this possible--"

Close your eyes and feel it carefully, and even scanned up and down with your own domineering arrogance. Roman looked at the little reindeer who had just rushed over in doubt. If he hadn't had absolute confidence in Chopper's medical skills, Roman would almost say " quack' blurted out. after all:

"Roman's body..."

After checking for a while, Chopper had to admit.

"Very healthy, even too healthy! All the statistics are much stronger than before, but:"

Even the best doctor in the world has one thing he can't do.

"Is it because of the 'soul'...Damn it! I don't even have a clue, what kind of doctor am I!"

Facing Chopper, who blamed himself and was about to cry, Roman calmly patted his hat.

"Don't panic, I feel that I have no problem at all. Maybe the previous coma is just a rebound caused by the accumulation of pressure for a long time. After all, our opponent is Kaido, the Four Emperors."

"Roman can't do that,"

Usopp next to him pointed his thumb at himself,

"Unlike me, I'm negative all the time! So I'm not afraid of mental stress at all."

Ah this... I can't learn, I can't learn.

Usopp's nerves have been verified by Negative Specter himself. Roman didn't think he had such a magical talent.

"It's fine,"

"I'm relieved~"

Robin, Franky, Jinbe, and Brook who came from behind all had smiles on their faces. If Roman suddenly collapsed, it would be hard for them to imagine what the Straw Hats would look like in the future.

"Okay, okay~~"

Nami clapped her hands and stood up, "Since Roman is fine, then—"

"Banquet!!!"

"That's right, on... No! Shouldn't we consider the Wano country's issues before this?" Roman rolled his eyes, almost being led astray by Luffy! Wano Country is not any other place. It is related to whether the Whitebeard Pirates can return to the ranks of the "Four Emperors".

And once Ace becomes the new Four Emperors, he will undoubtedly be Luffy's biggest help, and the road to One Piece will also...

Snapped!

?

"Hahahaha, banquet~~~"

Romans, who was flung outside by Luffy's collar, sighed helplessly while floating like a kite, forget it, let's have the banquet first. Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and there is no possibility of any changes. only:

What do you seem to have forgotten?

"Zheng~Zheng~~Zheng~~~"

"Boom boom boom~! Boom boom boom~~!"

Amidst the quiet and pure shamisen, and the passionate and steady drumbeat, the maids on both sides helped the Straw Hats push open the gate of the castle tower, and the sky was slowly falling with cherry blossoms, and below were the people of Wano country.

With the appearance of the Straw Hats, there was an overwhelming loud noise all around. People either raised their arms and shouted with flushed faces, or clapped desperately, or shouted words of praise, and no one was idle.

The sounds of thousands of people huh-hu-la-la mingled into a loud torrent that oscillated endlessly over the capital of flowers, and even spread far to the top of the towering mountains behind the town, bringing about a long-lasting rolling echo.

"Captain Luffy!!"

"The Great Swordsman Sauron—"

"And King Roman Ming~~!!"

? ?

"When did I get the nickname 'King Ming'? What's more..."

Isn't that Kaido's title?

"Of course it was when you carried Ghost Island with all your might—if it wasn't for Mr. Roman, I'm afraid the Capital of Flowers would have suffered heavy casualties."

Yamato, dressed in cool clothes, walked over with a mace on his back, and next to her was Kozuki Hiyori in armor. And the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates headed by Ace on the other side.

"Hahaha, little Roman! You're not good enough~~"

Bramank, who was covered in bandages and with one arm dangling, waved his arm in greeting.

"As the last person to wake up, I will be fined three cups in a while—"

! ! !

"Hey·····?"

Stared at by the Straw Hats behind Roman with the 'death stare', the fat man in overalls, the captain of the 6th team of the Whitebeard Pirates, who is capable of baggy fruit, touched the pocket on his neck, feeling that he was Not saying anything wrong. And Ace next to him has already stepped forward:

"Now that Roman is awake, it's time for us to discuss business."

The so-called "we" of course refers to Ace himself representing the Whitebeard Pirates, Kozuki Hiyori representing the Wano Country, Yamato representing the remaining Beast Pirates, and:

Roman representing the Straw Hats.

Originally, the normal situation should be to divide the interests of Luffy as the captain, but:

"The trouble is dead, leave it to Roman."

"alright,"

Roman nodded. Today is the third day after the war, which is the enthronement ceremony of the Wano country general. So a lot of things have to be clarified now, otherwise it would not be beautiful if the people from several parties who were fighting side by side turned against each other.

After all: money touches people's hearts the most!

Even if several leaders are high-spirited and clean-sleeved generations, the soldiers below still have to support their families and feed their families.

"Come on, let's settle it in a few words, and then have a banquet!"

The division of interests that is difficult for others to speak about is not embarrassing for Roman. After all, the essence of politics is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and with Roman's structure, identity, strength, wealth, and self-confidence, there is no contradiction that cannot be reconciled. What's more:

The parties present are not the kind of people who care about every detail, so it is not difficult to come up with a plan that everyone is satisfied with.
