The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

On the Miles of Sunshine,

"I said, everyone—"

Usopp walked around on the deck and clapped his hands. Everyone's silence didn't match the style of the Straw Hats at all.

"What are you all doing with the same face? Luffy has become the One Piece, and we are also the partners of the One Piece! Everyone, please be happy..."

"Alright, Usopp."

Zoro, leaning on the ship's side, opened one eye, looking at the long-nosed sniper who was walking around trying to stir up the atmosphere.

"Aren't you the same? Usually you are the most negative one, and we don't need you to comfort us."

·······

"Really, it is obviously a rare and great victory."

Nami, who came out of the cabin, rubbed her forehead, causing everyone on the deck to focus on her.

"Nami, are you in good health? Why don't you take a rest—"

"It doesn't matter,"

Nami with red eyes cheered up,

"I'm the navigator on the ship, and I don't have time to rest leisurely. Otherwise, Luffy might have taken us to some horrible place..."

"No no no,"

Usopp waved his hands with an expression of "you are wrong", then pointed to the deck behind him.

"Now Luffy won't cause trouble anymore, because:"

"Ahhhh~~ so annoying~~"

The dignified 'One Piece' is wriggling on the deck like a slug, gnawing at the deck! There is no 'majesty' of the captain at all, if this is seen by other pirates, why don't they suddenly collapse their illusions and go home to farm?

"I don't know why, since leaving Ralph Drew, everyone has lost their spirits."

It was rare for Robin not to read a book, but to think carefully with his chin on his hands.

"Although it can also be explained by the 'empty feeling' after the dream is realized, but..."

It's not normal for everyone to be like this! Especially Luffy and Nami: Although Nami is strong in directing the course, but the confidence that is usually high-spirited is completely different. As for Luffy:

"Don't talk to me~~I'm a snail~~"

It's almost like being hit by the 'negative ghost', and the whole person is about to be crippled.

"Actually, I've always had a feeling:"

Usopp, who failed in trying to enliven the atmosphere, also sat down decadently, even after he left from Ralph Drew, he felt inexplicably irritated. This is not really what Robin said, but the feeling of emptiness after the realization of the dream. Instead:

"I always feel like I've forgotten something important?"

"You feel the same way?"

Sanji, who had piled up a plate of soot in front of him, frowned, feeling that there was something missing on this boat——

"A master!"

Sauron answered in the affirmative;

"No, a beautiful woman!"

Sanji instantly reveals his original form;

"No, I clearly remember it was a child!"

Usopp frowned and recalled vigorously, "Wearing a raincoat, holding a tool hammer..."

? !

"Could it be the 'ship elf' you're talking about?"

On the other side, Franky, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, pushed up his sunglasses.

"From your description, isn't the child in a raincoat and holding a hammer——?!"

Boom! !

Frankie stood up abruptly, covering his forehead with cold sweat.

"Yeah, how did I forget 'Sonny'..."

'Everyone! '

?

"Everyone!!"

As Frankie's voice fell, a child in a red raincoat suddenly appeared on the deck, as if he should have been here...

"I've been here all this time! It's you guys who forgot about me!!"

Facing the angry 'Sonny', a whole bunch of people suddenly realized——

"Sonny~~ woo woo woo!"

Frankie burst into tears like an old father,

"I actually forgot about you~~ woo woo woo!! It seems that the memory of the human brain has a limit, I want to replace it with a chip brain!"

"Come on, Frankie...you don't even want the last bit of the 'human' sign?"

"Hee hee hee, it's Sonny! I just said I forgot something—"

Facing a group of noisy companions who 'reacted', the boat spirit in a red raincoat trembled all over:

"enough!!!"

?

"What the hell are you doing?"

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone in the Straw Hat Group who was yelled at by Sonny, Xiao Chuanling's crying voice came from under the red raincoat.

"Luffy, Franky, Nami...everyone, what did you meet on the island?"

"Merry and I have been trying to get your attention, but you have turned a blind eye to us! And the most important thing is—"

"Where is Mr. Roman? Why didn't Roman come back with you!"

? !

"Merry... is it the Merry? We didn't burn it in the capital of seven waters..."

"Who is Roman? Why do I think this name is a bit—"

"wait!!"

Quickly untiing the book at her waist, Nami squatted in front of Sonny, and opened the title page of the book in her hand:

Only by persevering can we climb to the top. / Roman

"Is this Roman you're talking about?"

"correct,"

The kid in the red raincoat nodded,

"This is the book of ability users that Mr. Roman gave you, it is simply your token of love..."

"What? Miss Nami is already married?"

Facing the shocked Sanji, Sonny gave him a strange glance.

"Didn't Sanji-san also marry Miss Pudding?"

? ? ?

"I...my wedding with Pulin...not by Luffy..."

Now, it's Sanji's turn to doubt his life!

"So, what exactly did you encounter in Ralph Drew?"

Sonny looked at these familiar partners in front of him. It was strange that they had been ignoring himself and Merry since they came back. Now they even forgot about Mr. Roman and Miss Brin...

It's okay for Miss Brin to stay in Wanguo to help build their homeland, but Mr. Roman set foot on Lough Drew with everyone!

In the end what happened?

Although Sonny and Mellie had the ability to appear and talk in front of everyone after being strengthened by Roman with the 'soul and soul ability'. But a ship elf is a ship elf, and if others have no 'concept' about them, then they are ghosts that cannot be seen or heard.

But precisely because they are 'not human', they escaped Im's 'memory modification' instead!

"Wait! Forget—"

Nami suddenly stood up, if...

"If what 'Sonny' said is true," Nami rubbed her temples and continued amid Sonny Xiaochuanling's rebuttal of "of course it's true".

"Then there is only one possibility: our collective memory has been tampered with!"

? ? ! !

"That means we should have one more crew member. He is:"

the eleventh person who disappeared,

Roman!

———

San Marie Gioia,

"Hahaha~~Roman, you kid!"

"Mr. Karp, please watch your words!"

"The one in front of you is the soon-to-be-crowned King of the World, Lord Neo God—"

"You guys go down," waved his hand to make the black suits who stood up and reprimanded Garp retreat, and Roman looked at the silver-haired old man who was smiling heartlessly in front of him and rubbed his temples.

"Mr. Karp, you..."

"What do you think of Luffy... who is about to become the One Piece?"

Facing Roman's question, Garp waved his hand carelessly.

"I don't care about that brat! If it weren't for that bastard Shanks, Luffy would have already become a double wall of the navy with Roman and you! I don't expect him to marry Tianlongren... Cough, at least An admiral of the navy can compete with you."

It seems that even Mr. Karp's memory... According to Roman's temptation, after being bluntly said by Im to modify the memory of everyone who has come into contact with him. Roman's real name became 'Neo', and Roman became his 'alias'.

The past two years of training in the navy has become a legitimate history, and by the way, he was "promoted" and became a general. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations...

No wonder!

By the way, that fish-catching general of Huang Yuan has retired honorably! Having received the title of "Admiral Adviser", he started a leisurely life of reading newspapers and drinking tea at the headquarters every day, although it was basically the same as before.

"...Teacher, walk slowly,"

After saying goodbye to Garp, Roman sighed and turned his head to look in the direction of the Hall of Power. There is an old saying that goes well: life is like that, since you can't resist, then close your eyes and enjoy it. Anyway:

If Im is really tough, wouldn't Roman just lie down obediently?

Hey, it seems that the days to come will not be boring.

And when Roman was thinking about how to 'revitalize Husband Gang':

———

"Now you finally give up, right? Garp."

In an alley in Mariejoya, the voice of Sengoku stopped Garp in his tracks. Then:

brush,

In an instant, the two figures disappeared in place.

"Why are you crazy?!"

When it reappeared, Warring States had already been grabbed by Garp's shoulders and moved at a high speed with a 'shave' to a courtyard in the distance: a place exclusively for the admirals to rest.

"Warring States, I have met little Roman."

"He... seems to have accepted his fate."

Just like Zefa couldn't let his students 'regress' back to their youth, these strong men who have been domineering for a lifetime have already instinctively resisted any devil fruit ability. Even Im's 'memory modification' can't affect top powerhouses like Karp and Sengoku.

Facing Garp with a heavy face, Sengoku nodded.

"This is the right choice. After the two adults get married, our navy will be able to clean up the world with the backing of Lord Neo..."

"Warring States!!!"

Garp's growling voice interrupted his old friend's words,

"You know what I want to say is not this! Although I don't know what Little Roman and Luffy saw in Ralph Drew, but—"

"Be careful!"

This time, it was Sengoku who covered Garp's mouth in reverse.

"You don't want to die?!"

Facing the serious Sengoku, Karp just calmly opened the opponent's hand.

"You didn't notice it, did you? Right now, 'that' is all looking at Little Roman, and he won't look at us at all. If this is the 'opportunity' that Roger said..."

"impossible!"

Sengoku shook his head resolutely,

"Even if... that person puts his whole body and mind on Roman now, even if we can... gather enough troops!"

As soon as these words came out, even the face of Zhan Guo couldn't help but sweat! Because this has put the 'betrayal' on the bright side, but after waiting for a long time, there is still no 'God's Punishment'. So:

"Phew, it seems that Little Roman's charm is really exaggerated. If I had known this, I should have tried the 'beauty trick'..."

As the former admiral of the navy, the top powerhouse who sent countless legendary pirates into the city of advancement. How could the Warring States not know the existence of Im, and how could it not know the truth of history. Otherwise, take them as old navy people and treat them as dogs for the Tianlong people? is it possible!

With Garp and Luffy's temper in the same strain, with Zefa's "heroic justice", and with the wisdom of Sengoku and Crane, how could it be possible for those garbage called "Dragon People" to live in this world?

Not all because of the existence of Im!

Im's informative arrogance is also possessed of 'perspective' and 'farsightedness' like Roman's. The entire Navy Headquarters and Holy Land are under her 'eyes', as long as the strength reaches a certain level—that is, the general level. You will be noticed by Im, and at the same time you will perceive the opponent's invincible power!

That's the only reason so many Marine Justices didn't make it to the Holy Land, and:

"And if it's in other places, we still have a slight possibility of defeating that..."

Yim is strong, but the top fighters in the navy are not weak either. It is not impossible to break the myth of the opponent's invincibility if they rush up. but--

"Only in this holy place is it impossible!"

The Warring States eradicated the idea of ​​"suicide" by an old friend,

"Karp, you should know that there is that 'secret treasure'. Even if the entire navy has millions of soldiers working together, there is no chance of winning."

Im in the Holy Land is truly invincible!
