The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Ximei, Zhonghua Town,

It is located in the tunnel below the 'Yihong Courtyard'.

"Commander, please follow me closely. This tunnel is complicated and it's easy to get lost if you're not careful."

Indeed, Romain sprinkled bits of confetti around every corner as a marker. Now 362 markers have been released, but they haven't reached the destination yet... This is simply a huge underground three-dimensional maze.

Not to mention ordinary people, it is not impossible for even top experts to destroy this place, but to find a specific target in such a maze, it is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

"Arrived,"

Since there is a bad person's deputy commander leading the way, of course there will be no such situation as getting lost. only:

"Sea Tower Stone?"

Roman is not Luffy, facing the room in front of the building made of sea, he can still step into it with a face of indifference. Not even bad people who have just fought side by side! because:

The title of "bad handsome" came out of nowhere, and the bad guy obviously had something to hide. The unnatural expression when facing him, the secret treasure mentioned by Kaido, and even the ancient weapon "Pluto" that the dragon can't see the end.

This made Roman have to be on guard.

"Commander, please wait a moment, I'll go get the things out."

The delinquent vice-commander, who was wrapped in bandages again, also saw that Roman was unwilling to step into Hailoushi's room in front of him, but all capable people would be afraid of Hailoushi. After all, the ability to rely on for a living is suddenly suppressed, which is more terrifying than the great swordsman losing his sword.

As the bandage deputy commander stepped into the room in front of him, nothing happened, "Close the door, let the dog go!" ’ or ‘Three hundred swordsmen jumped out from behind the door’, and the other party walked out holding a box after more than ten seconds.

What will be inside?

In an instant, Roman thought of many things: Devil Fruit, Dynamite Rock, Pluto's blueprint, laptop, and even Im's photobook...

"What is this... book?"

Then when the bandage deputy commander opened the box, even a calm Roman showed an unbelievable look on his face, because:

There is a book lying in the box, with a line of square characters on the cover very arrogantly:

"Treasure of Conferred Gods"!

Don't get me wrong, although the English alphabet is the mainstream in this world, "Chinese characters" are not uncommon, and the original traditional characters are everywhere in Wano Country. So there is nothing to be surprised about the appearance of a Chinese character book. but:

Come,

Roman stretched out his hand, and the book flew into his hand automatically. In an instant, a huge vitality flowed along the books into Roman's body! It is as natural as water flowing from high places to low places.

"This thing..."

Looking at Roman with a complicated face, the deputy commander of the bandages sighed.

"Sure enough, it belongs to you."

?

"What do you know about this book?"

Facing Roman's serious question, the bandage deputy who had already decided to take out this thing let go of the burden in his heart.

"This is the core secret of our 'bad people', and it is also the secret treasure that we can pass down: every page of this book can give our people a devil fruit ability, although it is not as flexible as the real devil fruit ability, But it is enough for us to continue to inherit the next team of ability users..."

"I'm talking about its origin!"

Facing Roman, who was frowning and unconsciously accentuating his tone, the bandage deputy shrugged.

"I don't know. After all, it was hundreds of years ago. Anyway, the origin of this book is not mentioned in the historical records of our 'bad people'. There is only a secret code and someone will come to pick it up eight hundred years later." prophecy. And that person will become our 'bad guy'..."

There is no doubt that 'that person' is Roman.

"This kind of old-fashioned thing, everyone always thought it was a prank made by a certain leader who drank too much, but it was just a joke as a leader's 'inheritance' proof."

The bandage deputy commander looked at Roman in front of him, but it was the man in front of him who fulfilled the prophecy.

And this face, if he didn't know that his father was extremely rigid, he would have wondered if he had a brother who had been lost for many years.

"At first, I thought this 'prophecy' was stupid. Even if the 800-year deadline came, it would be nothing more than to let them pay attention to the melody of the patrol. Until I heard the report from 'Mayfly' that someone said our name When I made a lot of complaints about the moves, I suddenly had a feeling..."

The prophecy is about to come true.

And 'Mayfly' is the man in the black and white robe leading the way, obviously a perceptual ability user.

"That is to say, whether it is a book or a prophecy, in fact, you...forget it, I understand."

Roman, who wanted to continue to ask, shook his head, and thought about it differently. If he was in the position of the other party, the secret treasure that had been passed down for hundreds of years would be involved in some hundreds of years of agreement by gods and gods, and then it would be handed over to an inexplicable people who show up. The first reaction is definitely:

fuck you!

Why?

but···

"What a powerful force,"

The book in his hand is essentially the same thing as "The Thief's Ultimate Intention" that Roman developed his own ability to make for Nami, but it is obvious that this book is much stronger than the one in Nami's hand!

Even after so many years, it still has huge vitality. There are a variety of devil fruit abilities in it, some of which Roman has collected, and some that Roman has not collected. even--

? !

"this is?"

Roman's hand flipping the pages of the book stayed on a dark page, which gave him a very dangerous feeling! as if able to:

"Oh, this page. The name of this page's ability is 'Flying Dragon Cloud Explorer', which is another very core ability of our villains..."

As a familiar move name was spit out by the bandage deputy commander, Roman has confirmed the essence of this page:

Isn't it Blackbeard Tiki's dark ability?

Sure enough, the effect is:

"We bad people also have some devil fruit ability users. When the life of the ability person comes to an end, or when they voluntarily give up the fruit ability, they will use the ability on this page to transfer the devil fruit out. ——My 'word fruit' is Belonging to be passed down from one generation to the next.”

"Even the poems I use in conjunction with the fruit ability are also the inheritance that goes with the ability."

I see!

Bad people, Tiangang stars, move names, and those poems, all of these are intentional without exception, in order to attract the attention of specific people... Only the time traveler will notice this information! It appears that:

"Hey, really..."

Roman held the powerful "Devil Fruit Ability Illustrated Book" in his hand, but he was not happy at all.

"Putting it all together, I almost have a guess. But..."

Can't you let me relax for two days!

Just after defeating Kaido, Wano Country unexpectedly buried such a big secret. Still let people live?

"Give you,"

? !

Holding the tome that Roman casually threw back, the deputy handsome man in bandages was stunned.

You must know that this is the foundation that bad people have passed down for so many years in your hands! It is a treasure that can create a team in an instant! It is the secret that Kaido, the Four Emperors, have coveted for twenty years! It was because I hesitated for a long time before I made up my mind to take it out... but the commander-in-chief turned out to be dispirited and abandoned like a shoestring?

How can this make sense——

Give me back my entanglement, give me back my determination! !

"You guys keep this thing. Anyway, you have kept it for so many years, and you don't care about keeping it if you think about it."

Facing the bandage deputy commander who still wanted to say something, Roman waved his hand.

"It's not hypocritical, this thing does have a lot to do with me, but the information I get after seeing it is the most important, and the importance of books is at most second..."

"No, Commander."

Now that he has decided to face it, there is no need for the bandage deputy commander to conceal other information.

"There is another secret about this book. There is a battleship hidden under Wano Country! This book is the core of that battleship, and it is also the reason why Kaido is unwilling to use a large-scale attack on us. That battleship It's powerful! It's—"

"It's Pluto."

Roman rubbed his temples and interrupted the words of the deputy commander of the bandage.

"I knew it, no wonder Pluto hasn't shown up for eight hundred years, it turned out to be kept under Wano Country..."

The existence of O'Hara is not a day or two. There are not a few doctors who can understand ancient characters. It is believed that ambitious people have made the idea of ​​ancient weapons in the past 800 years. If it is still a mystery until now, it means:

Pluto is in a place that most people, even the strong, cannot reach.

And Wano Country, surrounded by harsh climates, protected by cliffs and waterfalls, and armed with samurai combat power, is a wonderful place.

"I'm not interested in eight-hundred-year-old antiques,"

Roman, who walked outside along the mark he made, sighed again. No wonder the historical text obtained from Kaido translated an article on the fusion ratio of using Tuntun fruit to make various alloys, and even mentioned at the end whether The 'Edelman alloy' that was tested...isn't that Wabo metal!

Connecting these, Roman also has a guess as to what the so-called Pluto is.

Pluto, known as Little Sunshine Mellie...

————

"Roman, let's go!"

Walking through the scarred archway in Zhonghua Town, facing Nami who was chatting with the bow and arrow girl Melody not far away, she sensed someone coming out and turned around to wave to her, Roman, who was still frowning just now, softened her face .

What eight hundred years of secrets, what freedom in the world...

These are none of my business!

As long as you can travel happily with Nami, Luffy, and everyone in the Straw Hats.

"coming."

·······

"Luffy, are you leaving so soon?"

On the side of the base of the Whitebeard Pirates that Roman helped to move the ruined Ghost Island to the sea outside Jiuli. Ace, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, Yamato, Kozuki Hiyori, the Seven Heroes of the Red Sheath, Heigoro, the four underworld bosses, Zou's fighters...

"Hee hee hee, I'm going to become One Piece! It's impossible to stay here any longer, and—"

"As long as we are in this sea, we will meet each other one day!"

Facing the farewell crowd, Lu Fei grinned. Then turned to look the other way:

"Gallot, Pedro, don't you stay on the boat?"

"No,"

The Jaguar Ranger, smoking a cigarette, shook his head,

"Although there is an invitation from the future One Piece, I decided to stay and help Wano rebuild. This is also the duty of all of us in Zou."

As for the rabbit girl Garrott, she was simply caught by the beautiful dog girl Wanda who rushed over.

"Wooooow, little Brin, I will miss you."

"Wuuuuuuu, Garrett, I will miss you too..."

Facing his best friend who was hugging and crying together, Sanji stood beside him helplessly. Sauron curled his lips.

"Useless cook,"

"Green algae head, what are you muttering about?!"

"Everyone, set sail."

As Jinbe turned the rudder, the Sunshine Merry slowly left with a group of people. And after Roman took a deep look at this country where many secrets were buried, he also said:

"Calculating the time, our new bounty should also come down."
