The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Roman, we have already made up the amount of training during this time..."

Behind the Golden Merry, there was an extra section of white hull. ——It looks like an extra compartment has been added to the back of the pickup truck. Of course, this look is the creation of Roman's ability.

"Paper Dance - Training Ground (True)"

Compared with the previous training ground that only covered and reinforced the hull, this is the real training ground. If it weren't for the fear that the Golden Merry would not be able to support it, Roman would have wanted to add two more 'training grounds' to the left and right of the ship.

And now, the entire Straw Hat Pirates: Luffy, Roman, Sauron, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and even Vivi and Marianu...that is, Miss. Golden Week In this 'training ground'. Of course, the one who drives the boat is the hard-working 'white knight'.

Facing Nami's cautious words, Roman waved his hand.

"Exercise must not be left behind. In this world, only physical strength is the foundation of everything. But:"

"This adventure in the small garden almost wiped out our entire army." Although Roman's words were harsh, they were true.

If it weren't for his ability to 'elementize' his limbs, Sauron might be able to learn from the golden lion and replace his legs with knives, and successfully advance to the 'five swordsmanship' swordsman! It's really gratifying, so gratifying...  

No wonder!

"Of course, in this world, various devil fruit abilities emerge in endlessly, and the opponents are not mindless monsters, but human beings who can plot and plan, use more to fight the less, and use the strong to bully the weak. Therefore:"

Roman snapped his fingers, and the flying white papers formed puppets one by one in the training ground. ——It’s just a low-level puppet with a torso and limbs, not a ‘white knight’.

"Paper dance - miscellaneous soldiers."

"Hey, hey, the name of your ability is too random..."

Facing Usopp's complaints, Roman shrugged.

"Sorry, but with my current strength to create such a large number of puppets, it is only at the level of miscellaneous soldiers. However:"

Roman waved to Luffy.

"You stand among those puppets."

"what the hell,"

Luffy stood among a pile of white paper puppets with a depressed face, so bored that he was about to pick his nose.

"These puppets are simply not enough for me to fight—"

"Nonsense! I've already said that this move is called 'Miscellaneous Soldiers'. How many seconds can I expect to last in front of you?"

Roman pointed out while complaining, and the white paper tape flew from his finger and wrapped around Luffy's head, making the other party's hands and feet dance with "hey hey hey".

"Don't tear it up!"

After blocking Luffy's sight tightly with a paper tape, Roman nodded to Marianu next to him, and the little artist girl wearing a hat first prepared the 'Focus Gold' and threw it on Luffy. Luffy, who lost his vision, looked surprised. Then, streaks of red paint fell on the paper puppets.

"Hey? Hey! Hey?"

Luffy, whose eyes were wrapped in paper tape, stretched out his hands, and then 'looked' left and right to 'look'. ——Obviously, his gaze fell on those paper puppets stained with 'Red Anger'.

"Why do I seem to 'see' several..."

"Luffy, I'll let the puppets start attacking you next!"

Roman's voice quieted Luffy, he believed that Roman would not do useless things.

"But you can only dodge, you can't fight back! You are also not allowed to use the fruit ability."

After speaking, Roman didn't wait for Luffy to react, and immediately controlled many puppets to swarm up, fists and kicks mercilessly towards Luffy! And because it was just a bunch of paper figurines, there was basically no such thing as 'squeaky wind' or 'sharp screaming' in the shot, making the attack even more difficult to figure out.

"Hahaha, fun, fun~~~"

After being marked with a focus 'BUFF', these paper puppets who are only at the level of ordinary pirates are nothing to Luffy. ——Even if the line of sight is blocked, in Luffy's 'perception', bright red light clusters wander around. This dodge game doesn't look like...

"Ah~~~~ Pain, pain, pain!"

Luffy, who was dodging, suddenly let out a scream, as if he had been stung by a bee: a paper puppet with significantly less red paint on his body suddenly punched Luffy's arm, and it was he who screamed. reason!

"This... what is this..."

Facing Luffy, whose arm was red and yelling, Usopp, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, began to explain triumphantly.

"Hmph, this is the 'pain puppet' created by combining the nettle plant leaves I collected and Roman's ability."

"The fists and feet of these puppets are full of small white thorns. If you accidentally touch them, your skin will be red, swollen and blistered, burning and painful, and the pain is unbearable! Even if it is Luffy, you are also effective."

"Ah this..."

Luffy wanted to say something else, but the red surrounding him once again in the 'perception' made him shut up, and he focused on avoiding the attacks of these 'pain puppets'! Even when he was hit, his skin was red and stinging, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't use his ability or fight back!

"Is this kind of training... really effective?"

Nami and Weiwei looked at Luffy who was red and swollen all over after a while, and the two girls crossed their arms and looked worried:

It really hurts to look at it!

"Of course, the advantage of human beings is that they know how to use various conditions to cultivate."

If there is no famous teacher, if there is no reasonable exercise, how can it be possible to become a master?

Luffy's grandfather is Garp with the ceiling of combat power; Zoro's teacher is Koshiro who can't cut paper with a knife; Sanji's teacher is the legendary pirate Zhepu who retreated from the great route; their foundations are Very reliable, but the foundation alone is not enough to survive on the great route, so:

"I once gave you a science popularization about three-color domineering..."

"And knowledgeable domineering can perceive the opponent's attack, and can even predict the future a few seconds later."

"Don't underestimate it for a few seconds, it's enough to avoid many deadly traps!" Roman explained to others while commanding the paper puppets in the field to besiege Luffy.

"Of course, I don't expect everyone to quickly understand 'knowledge-colored arrogance'. After all, this thing——"

It is estimated that apart from Luffy who is "timely and sometimes ineffective", even Roman himself has not touched the threshold yet.

"However, at least to distinguish between a puppet and a real person, and to distinguish between hostility and murderous intent, we should master them as soon as possible. Therefore:"

Roman's words changed, and the people next to him: especially Nami and Usopp suddenly felt bad...

"After Luffy falls, you all go up one by one!"

? ? ?

"No...isn't it?"

Usopp was completely dumbfounded. As a person who participated in making the 'pain puppets', he certainly knew what consequences those puppets would cause if they hit him:

It is equivalent to patches of bee stings on your skin, which is painful but does not cause much damage.

"I... Do I want it too..."

Facing the trembling Nami, Roman nodded as a matter of course.

"Yes, although the battle can be entrusted to a few of us, it's best to learn this kind of 'dodging' skill——Weiwei should join us."

Can I say no? !

"Okay, Mr. Roman..."

Seeing that Nami couldn't escape, Weiwei could only nod without tears.

And as Luffy, who was "swollen" all over, fell to the ground, Zoro, whose eyebrows twitched a few times, directly took off the turban on his arm and tied it on his face to cover his eyes, and the whole "egg" shape made a big stride Step into the center of the puppet. Then:

In just a few minutes, there was another 'fat man' twitching all over the ground.

"I...I'm going to change clothes..."

Nami, whose legs were so weak that she had to support Usopp next to her to barely stand still, found out how 'stupid' she was wearing a short skirt for the first time! She decided to change into a pair of trousers right away... No, it's better to change into a cotton coat...

"I...I'll change it too..."

Usopp, who was covered in cold sweat, also turned around tremblingly, and decided to change his armor...

Crack, crack!

A pair of ruthless iron hands fell on the shoulders of the two of them from behind, and at the same time there was Roman's cold voice.

"It's your turn soon, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

The two collapsed faces turned around, looking at Roman with pleading eyes, but——

"To be fair, I ended up training as well."

After speaking, Roman grabbed the collar of his clothes with both hands, and directly 'teared' the shirt into several pieces with a clatter! Showing off her perfect muscles.

"Come on, stop the ink."

I'm shirtless, why don't you come on?

"Roman, you are ruthless—"

In this situation, Usopp really couldn't say anything, 'I have a disease that can't be trained', so he could only walk towards the puppets he participated in making with tears in his eyes.

I regret it at the beginning, I lifted a rock and shot myself in the foot...
