The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hahahaha, I said you are an ape!"

"Oh, don't praise me like that~~"

"It's decided, I'll call you 'Ape Handsome'!"

"How embarrassing, I'm not so handsome~~"

"No, no, you are handsome ape—"

"Since you said that, then the title of 'Ape Handsome' belongs to me!"

·········

Mard's staff!

Are you two Mingo and Diamanti? Also played a play of three exaggerations and three pushes...

"Which language are these two guys speaking?"

Even Sauron couldn't help complaining.

"I don't know, maybe it's like attracting like like."

Sanji, smoking a cigarette, has already kicked Luffy out of the ranks of "humans".

No matter how Roman complained inwardly, but Luffy did have a good chat with the captain of the other party, that is, the gorilla who seemed to be wearing clothes. He was about to beheaded, so Roman had to cough and stepped forward to make a request. .

"There is a problem with the record pointer, do you want to follow us to 'Magic Valley Town'?"

Facing Roman's words, the ape is handsome... ah, no. It should be the leader of the orangutan salvage group, 'orangutan', touched his protruding lips and nodded.

"Okay, you can follow us after we finish salvaging."

"Very good!"

Nami breathed a sigh of relief, because her record pointer was magnetized by the sky island, the current Golden Merry has lost its direction, and can only sail by luck. said. Unless let Roman again...

"Huh? So Roman, you are so calm, so you knew there was a ship nearby?"

"certainly,"

With regard to the weird luck of the Straw Hats (super good luck and abnormal attraction), you can't feel at ease after releasing paper cranes around the Golden Merry for a long time to investigate. Do you think Roman will talk nonsense?

It's trivial to bump into Neptunes, but it's normal operation to bump into hundreds of millions of big pirates.

So Roman is definitely not afraid! Be cautious! yes, be cautious...

"In short, follow the other party's ship to go to Magic Valley Town, and then we will go to the 'Sky Island' to explore after we repair and make sufficient preparations there."

Roman remembered that there was actually a 'regular' route to Sky Island - although that route claimed that only a few of the 100 people who set out could survive. But compared to Luffy's choice of going up the upwelling current, there are only two possibilities: all survival or all death...

No, it's better to take the "upwelling current" honestly.

Once the other ships fail to follow the rising current and rush to the sky's 'White Sea', they will definitely be destroyed. But with Roman here, at worst, just put a giant parachute.

Anyway, with Roman's current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the 'paper umbrella' that allows the Golden Merry to land safely in the sea. If it goes a step further, just play hot air balloons...

Forget about that, the Golden Merry is also a sea ship, and Roman can't lift him to an altitude of 10,000 meters if he is exhausted, unless he leaves the ship and goes into battle with light... Obviously, let alone Luffy, Roman I don't even want to.

"Well, where's Luffy?"

After thinking about it, Roman looked around and found that there were few figures missing.

"They were with the sailors of that ship," Nami pointed at the 'monkey ship' next to her speechlessly. "They all went down to the bottom of the sea to salvage the sunken ship."

ah this-

People with devil fruit abilities go into the water, even with protective props. But the danger... Anyway, Roman is unwilling to try it.

Maybe this is the reason why I can't learn to be armed with domineering color?

Not bold enough...

Roman fell into deep thought again, and under the applause of Nami, Usopp and others, the giant salvage ship next to him had already pulled up the sunken sailboat. By the way, I also fished--

"What is that? The mainland!"

"Dream, it must be a dream! It's all an illusion, you can't fool me!"

"It turned out to be a dream, huh~~~"

Looking at the self-deceiving 'cowardly trio', Roman had to puncture their 'fantasy'.

"It's not a dream, it's a sea turtle—but it's a bit huge, and its head is twice the size of the salvage ship next to it."

·········

"Ahhh, Roman! Don't let us face this horrible reality!"

"Don't panic,"

Facing the even bigger sea turtles attracted by the dilapidated giant sailboat pulled out of the water by the salvage ship...and Luffy and others jumping up and down in the mouth of the sea turtles, Roman was very calm.

Although this turtle is very huge, I am afraid that it can compete with the whale Rab at the entrance of the great route. However, the rare natural enemies of this giant creature doomed them not to have any terrifying combat power, and the threat level was less than that of an 80 million pirate! Moreover:

"It's a big deal, I'll take you flying to avoid it, anyway, this turtle can't fly."

"Roman, you are so reliable - let's go now."

Looking at Nami, Usopp, and Chopper hanging on Roman's body, Nico Robin next to him was speechless again!

At this time, shouldn't you be united and try to rescue the captain or something...

Ok?

"do not worry,"

Roman misunderstood Robin's eyes and thought she was afraid of the giant turtle next to her, so he smiled heartily at the intellectual beauty.

"It's good to get used to this kind of thing."

Thinking back to when he first entered the great route, Roman was also taken aback by Luffy's various gods leading the way, now? Even if the giant tortoise like an island next to him suddenly spoke out, Roman could calmly accept it.

··········

Nicole Robin: Is it too late for me to get off the boat now?

black--

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened!

"Hey hey? What's going on~~"

"Why is the sky darkening? Is this the 'midnight' that Roman said?"

"Don't panic," Roman waved his hand. "Although it looks very dark, it's not completely dark. It's the kind of 'dark clouds over the city' before the rainstorm. That is to say,"

"We encountered the special weather 'Cumulus Cloud' here..."

shock--

"Monster~~~!!!" X N

In the dark sky, there are several huge figures supporting the sky and the earth! They have wings on their backs, and they hold spears in their hands. Even the giant sea turtles that look like islands next to them are just like rabbits in front of these figures.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Let's sail!!"

"Run~~~"

"Ho Ho Ho Ho—"

In an instant, even Luffy, who was fearless, rushed towards the sail! Facing this tall figure who was at least a few thousand meters away by eye, it was no longer a question of courage. Even Nicole Robin has joined the spinnaker bandwagon, only:

Is this the 'projection' of Sky Island?

Ah~~ It's obviously a scary scene, but once you know the truth, it seems dull...

Facing this sky-supporting giant, the island-like sea turtle next to it dived into the sea in shock! And the Golden Merry and the Orangutan salvage ship even drove their horsepower, drawing two long white lines on the sea and soaring all the way! After leaving this sea area, the sun appeared again, and after the crisis was resolved, a group of people fell down on the deck.

Sanji: "What day is today?"

Sauron: "First the great sailboat descended from the sky,"

Nami: "Then the record pointer points to the sky!"

Usopp: "And then I met a strange ape salvage team..."

Chopper: "It also attracted island-like sea turtles,"

Robin: "Even night falls,"

Luffy: "A 'giant figure' dozens of times taller than a giant..."

"Very good, I didn't lose the other party." Roman glanced at the orangutan salvage ship lying on the deck next to him, "Tsk tsk tsk, more than half of the other party's men have peed their pants, compared to—"

On the side of the Straw Hats, even Usopp's face is normal, and he already has a big heart. Going out to sea with Lu Fei, among other things, exercising courage is definitely the first-class sharpness!

"Why are you not panicking at all!" X7

Facing everyone's complaints, Roman spread his hands.

"Of course it's because I know the reason for all of this. Do you want me to—"

"don't want!"

Luffy was the first to stand up and refuse, "I always feel that once you open your mouth, Roman, any interesting adventure will become boring."

What a keen intuition,

Indeed, the truth of the giant is just a 'projection' of the people on the empty island. Maybe the real body is just a few weak chickens...

"Okay, but anyway, let's go and rest first."

Pointing to the front, although it is invisible to the naked eye, Roman's 'Paper Crane' has already flown far away. An island with a pleasant climate was observed, and the town above it.

"Gaya Island, Magic Valley Town."

The Gaya Island in front is a spring island, with a breezy breeze and a pleasant climate, which is also what Roman's paper cranes can do smoothly——

! ?

"What's wrong, Roman?"

Noticing the change in Roman's face, Nami was the first to ask. Because Roman's current expression clearly shows that he has met a strong enemy!

"It's okay, my paper crane was 'killed' by someone."

?

"No way, your paper crane is so small and white..."

Flying in the sky, no one will notice at all, right? ——Usopp thought so, but he also knew that Roman was a serious person.

"So, we have met a master."

The last message from the paper crane was that on the roof of that small town, there was a man wearing a strange hat, a monocle telescope in his right eye, a long and narrow face, and a black cloak, and a man he aimed at. long gun.

If it weren't for Roman's own "knowledge-like arrogance" who is good at long-distance observation, he wouldn't even know where the attack came from.

Van Oka?

The future No. 3 captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, and now the sniper under Blackbeard, is capable of ultra-long-range shooting and high-speed shooting.

For the current Straw Hats, he is more dangerous than Blackbeard himself!

Fortunately, they probably don't intend to be enemies of the Straw Hats now. ——Let's go to Sky Island to 'relax' for a while, otherwise Roman's nerves will almost collapse when he encounters these pirates who are hundreds of millions every day.

————

"Seagull? No, it's a paper crane."

Sitting on the roof of the small town, a man named Fan Oka put down his favorite gun 'Qianlu'.

"I feel a line of sight falling on me, maybe I have provoked a strong enemy."

Even so, there was no fear or anything on his face. because:

"This is destiny~~"
