The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Another idiot bound by emotion."

Fist alone, of course, can't hurt Crocodile in the slightest. He doesn't even need to use his 'knowledgeable arrogance', it doesn't matter if he hits Luffy standing up.

"Kuhahahaha, if you know someone else, you are willing to die for them."

Whether it's the straw hat kid in front of you, or that guy named 'Roman'...

"I've seen a lot of you idiots!"

"So···"

Luffy flexed his fist and asked back.

"Aren't you an idiot?"

!

‘Go, go, leave this to——’

puff,

'you? '

'Sorry,... Captain...we just want to live...'

In an instant, memories that had been sworn to be forgotten surged into his mind, making the man named Crocodile's face darken! Who wasn't a 'stupid' when they were young?

"Hehehe..."

The intellectual beauty Robin next to him chuckled, making Crocodile even more furious!

"Do you want to die too? Nicole Robin!"

"If you want to kill me,"

Robin, wearing a white cowboy hat, waved his hand indifferently.

"Please."

!

After speaking, Robin turned around and spread his hands.

"Also, didn't you and I have an appointment first, so you don't call me by that name? Boss."

"Miss. Are you going there all Sunday?"

Facing Crocodile's question, Robin didn't look back.

"Albana, I'm going first."

Seeing that Nicole Robin walked cleanly, Crocodile shook his head. —You can never do anything to a person who is not afraid of death and has nothing.

"This woman is really..."

But now is not the time to think about these things. As Crocodile spread his palms, the flying yellow sand condensed, compressed, and deformed in his hands, and then:

puff,

An hourglass was created and thrown at Luffy's feet.

The fine sand in the hourglass keeps flowing down, representing the passage of time.

"I'll give you three minutes."

Crocodile, who flicked the soot with his middle finger, pointed to the hourglass stuck at Luffy's feet with his index finger.

"Once the time has passed, I will not accompany you."

"Any comments?"

Facing Crocodile's domineering and confident words, Luffy stretched his arms.

"No."

"rubber-"

In the stride charge, Luffy launched the first attack.

"gun!"

With a flash of his fist, he attacked Crocodile with a wild sound of piercing through the air! But this kind of straightforward attack, for Crocodile, was able to dodge with just a slight tilt of his head.

At the same time, he also rushed towards Lu Fei, and his body turned into yellow sand during the charge! In the next moment, he appeared in front of Lu Fei, and the huge golden hook in his left hand swept towards Lu Fei mercilessly.

"Wow!"

The upper body suddenly leaned back, and Luffy narrowly escaped Crocodile's attack, causing the Shichibukai to let out an unexpected 'yo,'.

Not bad, he is also the one who has initially grasped the 'knowledgeable domineering'.

"rubber-"

And Luffy, who escaped Crocodile's "Thunder Plow Hot Knife", rolled backwards and kicked up at the same time!

"whip!"

puff,

This volley flipped back to the horse's legs and instantly kicked a huge hole in the back of Crocodile who passed by him! But the yellow sand that flew out clearly explained:

"The ugly words are ahead, Straw Hat Boy."

"An attack like yours is never possible..."

"Rubber-machine gun!"

Puff puff puff,

The dense shadows of fists landed on Crocodile like cannonballs, and the terrifying speed of dozens of punches per second instantly turned the tall Crocodile into a hornet's nest! but:

"It's useless, no matter how many times you come again..."

"Bazooka!"

Before Crocodile finished speaking, Luffy's hands hit his chest hard, causing his chest to burst suddenly, and the yellow sand flew in all directions!

And on his back, a washbasin-sized hole flew away with the force of the explosion, instantly splitting him in two!

"It's useless—"

"Rubber-Tomahawk!"

The legs that suddenly stretched towards the sky suddenly fell, with the momentum of splitting mountains and mountains, and fell with a bang, killing Crocodile in an instant! Then:

Bang bang bang!

"I stomp, stomp, stomp!"

"Crushed? You sand crocodile—"

"I said," behind Luffy who stomped on the yellow sand under his feet, the yellow sand quietly formed Crocodile's figure. Not to mention hurting him in the slightest, even the cigar in his mouth was exactly the same as before the fight started.

Nature is inherently able to elementalize its own clothes, weapons, and even cigarettes...

"A low-level rubber fruit ability user like you is absolutely impossible to win, woo—"

Boom!

However, Luffy turned around and punched lightning, making Crocodile unable to finish a sentence since the start of the war.

"'Win woo'? What the hell are you trying to say?"

Facing the bewildered Luffy, several veins jumped out of Crocodile's head, and he felt his blood pressure rise for a long time!

"Go to hell!"

He finally gave up talking about it and went straight to the big game!

—————

"At that time, I stood in front of the 'Island Eater', pointed at the terrifying monster like the mainland and said, 'You can't stop the man on the sea'..."

"1003"

"1004"

Holding the handle of the knife with one hand, Sauron, who squatted a camel on the scabbard, kept doing weightlifting exercises.

"Hey, you..."

"Leave them alone, Nami."

Sanji, who took out another cigarette and lit it, waved his hand.

"They just need to divert their attention, they are really idiots! This time they are facing the level of 'Qibukai'..."

"Hey, you bastard, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Facing Zoro with a gloomy face, Sanji just told the truth calmly.

"Okay, I'll just say it: Are you afraid that Luffy will lose?"

"...I, am I afraid?"

"You curly eyebrows!"

"You green algae head!"

Bang, bang,

"Okay, what time is it. Don't fight inside."

Knocking over the two nervous idiots one by one, Nami rubbed her forehead helplessly. ——The dense cigarette butts beside Sanji are not as calm as he appears on the surface.

"Big, don't, don't, don't worry."

Weiwei stopped the others with a 'smile', "Lulufei made an appointment to meet us in Albana."

Hey, hey, looking at Weiwei who is covered in sweat and can't speak easily, the others can't complain.

You are the most nervous, right?

"Speak up, Roman."

Sanji, who lit a cigarette again, looked at Roman who was lying on the side, and asked casually.

"Do you think... Luffy can win?"

--Quiet.

Although everyone knows that the sand crocodile Crocodile is very powerful, very powerful, in fact, the only one who has really fought against him is Roman. so:

"Luffy is very strong in close combat, stronger than me."

Roman, who observed the battlefield through the detection of paper cranes, closed his eyes. Luffy's talent is really terrifying! In the face of sand crocodiles, the 'Desert Sword-Fang', which can stretch hundreds of meters with a single knife;

Relying on the newly learned 'knowledge-colored arrogance', he actually managed to dodge the whole process, which made Roman, a traverser, ashamed to death. but:

"Luffy can't win."

"you,"

If it weren't for Roman's serious injury, both Sanji and Zoro could hardly hold back their anger and wanted to punch each other! However at this time:

Boom boom boom——

A series of sandstorm tornadoes rolled up in the distant sky! Rolling like thunder, carrying the shrill cry of Qianhun Yegui, they whizzed and dived into the sky! Tear the sky, tear the earth, tear everything.

"Hey, are you kidding me?"

Sanji didn't notice when the cigarette in his mouth fell, and Sanji stared at the yellow-brown tornado and sandstorm in the distance! Like a giant dragon with its teeth and claws defying everything, in the face of such natural power, the kicking skills I am proud of...

cluck cluck!

Gritting his teeth tightly, Zoro also firmly held the samurai sword in his hand, shaking his way for the first time. ——Can a sword alone cut through such a natural disaster?

Do not!

Certainly possible!

The knife that cuts through everything, the knife that cuts through the wind, must exist! !

"Luffy······"

Two lines of tears rolled down Weiwei's cheeks, no matter how much she was willing to believe in Luffy, but in front of such a horrible natural disaster...

"Chopper, stop!"

Hearing Roman's words lying on the moving crab—that is, the giant crab's carapace under them, Chopper hurriedly looked around, only to find that everyone was immersed in their own world, and tapped the moving crab under him. Talk to it and let it slow down.

(Chopper can communicate across species and most animals)

"Roman, you..."

"Don't get me wrong," Roman, who was lying dead, waved his hand.

"Crocodile has left, that is to say - we don't have to run."

"I, we, return, want, send, Weiwei..."

Basically, Sauron, who spit out words word by word, clenched his teeth tightly, his muscles stretched out like blue veins!

"Luffy is not dead yet."

? ? ? ?

"what!"

"real?"

"Say it clearly..."

One sentence made the entire Straw Hat Group's happy and sad crowd subconsciously rush over, instantly causing Roman in the crowd to cry out in pain.

my wounds! !

If you want me to die, just say so...

Boom! X4

Knocking a group of people to the ground: including Weiwei——Nami breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Chopper to check Roman's wounds before asking.

"Roman, why do you say that Luffy is not dead?"

"Ok·····"

It can only be said that the sandstorm tornado interfered with Luffy's mind, greatly reducing his "knowledge-colored domineering", and then crushed with a higher level of knowledge-colored, Crocodile, who pierced through the chest and dropped Luffy in seconds, underestimated the enemy. He turned and left after throwing the breathless Luffy into the quicksand to die. And not long after:

Robin took an injured birdman to rescue Luffy, which made Roman feel that the same people are different.

have a look,

He was rescued after lying in bed for a whole day. There are noble people to help Luffy when he turns his head, and even provide transportation...

Falcon Bell: Thank you, I was offended.

"Anyway, just wait for a while."

—————

Soon, a giant eagle with Luffy on its back... half man, half eagle appeared in everyone's eyes, and in front of him was Roman's paper crane guiding the direction, successfully allowing the two to join the Straw Hats.

"Princess Vivi!"

"Bell!"

The giant eagle that put down Luffy turned into a samurai wearing a white desert service, and knelt down to Weiwei on one knee.

"What this paper crane said is true. Princess, you are really safe and sound. It's really... that's great."

Falcon's Bell, the adjutant of the Alabasta Kingdom Guard, is a "bird fruit-falcon type" ability user of the animal department. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a die-hard supporter of Weiwei, and it can even be said that she is a relative.

Here is the meeting of master and servant, while on the other side:

"Doctor! Call the doctor quickly! Ahhh, am I the doctor?"

In a panic, Luffy, whose chest was pierced, enjoyed the same treatment as Roman, lying on the moving crab. But anyway: at least no one died is the greatest luck!

"Ro... Roman..."

Obviously the vital point of the chest was pierced, but the rubbery body endowed by the rubber fruit made Luffy's internal organs as tough as rubber, so he could still turn his head to look at the suffering brothers beside him.

"I want to apologize to you, that sand crocodile is terrible! I didn't even get a scar on him,"

"I never listened to you, sorry—"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was overjoyed just now fell silent. Two generals of our side challenged Crocodile one after another, but one had a hole in his stomach and the other had a skylight in his chest. Even if he managed to get rid of each other now, what about in the future?

"Roman, I want to beat that bastard crocodile!"

During Chopper's persistent "don't talk, don't talk", Luffy looked seriously at Roman next to him.

"Think of a way for me to beat him into the air!"

·········

"Luffy, you are too willful. I am lying here myself..."

"I don't care, I must beat the flying crocodile! This method must be thought of by you!"

"Hey, hey, what do you think I am?"

"Universal Tinker Bell!" X5

? ? ? ?

"you·······"

Is this a rant about me, leaving me with nothing to rant about? Facing the expectant expressions around him, Roman covered his face with one hand, but the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed more and more.

"Hahahahaha~~~"

"Mr. Roman, you are crying—"

Just be honest!

"No, it's just...just...just the wind and sand blowing into my eyes."

"but,"

Sitting up slowly, Roman, who asked Nami next to him to quickly support him, cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled confidently.

"Okay, I'll think of a way for Luffy."

"A way for him to beat the flying sand crocodile!"

Bet on my name as a time traveler... No, bet on the name of 'partner'!

Just wait, Crocodile.

PS: That's right, Roman has only officially integrated into the Straw Hats now, and he is positioned as a military adviser. I didn’t expect it, it’s all prologue~~~ baa hahaha, by the way, please ask for a ticket~~~

I have so many words in each chapter, I am afraid that when the editor comes back, I will have 300,000 words to put on the shelves...
