The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Naval Headquarters, Marine Vandeau.

"Report to the lieutenant general, he really disappeared!"

"Did you disappear without saying a word..."

"He took the bounty order from the 'Straw Hats', and the bike is gone—"

?

"Contact 'Five Old Stars'!"

········

"Oh, I see."

Putting down the phone, several old men in suits at the top of the world looked at each other.

"If it's him, it should be just for fun."

"Really, what's that guy thinking? Always likes to act on his own."

"Don't worry, that man has his own measure."

·······

But at this time, the man who caused an uproar was riding a bicycle leisurely on the sea. ——That's right, riding a bicycle on the sea is so chic! As he drove all the way, the sea immediately froze into white solid ice! Let his bike go all the way.

This speed is much faster than ordinary sailboats!

"Monkey D. Luffy."

Looking at the wanted warrant in his hand, the tall man on a bicycle was thoughtful.

"It's only been a while, and the reward is over 100 million. Should I say that he really deserves to be a general without a dog?"

Let me see how you look.

—————

The waves rolled over, rushing towards the Golden Merry!

But this is not a naturally formed wave, because in the sea, there are several huge 'monkey faces' creaking in it! This is a small sea king with the ability to create waves and destroy ships! Like now:

"Attention, the sea monkey is here again!"

"Everyone on your marks~~~"

"Millions of volts!"

Nami opened the book in her hand, the arm-thick beam of lightning waved and bombarded, jumping out a piece of lightning in the waves;

"Land legs!"

With a kick in the air, the half-moon-shaped vacuum sharp slash gallops out, chopping the waves;

"Rubber-bullets!"

The fist that stretched out suddenly hit the target in the sea water fiercely;

"One Sword Style - Thirty-Six Troubled Phoenixes!"

I saw that Sauron first bent the left arm holding the knife and lifted it up slightly, and held the lower limb of the left arm with the inside of the right palm, closed his eyes and meditated, and suddenly drew the knife! The light of the sword is like training, its momentum is like a rainbow, and the flying sword energy is spinning like thunder——

"Why is the name of your moves so long? And the moves are so gorgeous~~~"

Usopp, who used a slingshot to launch the "Gunpowder Star" next to him, complained that he couldn't, because the unique "sea monkeys" in this sea area would set off waves and destroy ships, so Roman suggested that everyone should use these short-sighted guys to practice long-range skills. So there is this scene in front of you:

Nami's lightning, Sanji's legs, Luffy's fist, Zoro's sword.

Except for Chopper and Robin, the two capable users really have no long-range attack means-Robin's Huahuaguo can't affect the sea monkey in the sea. And Luffy, tortured by Roman's sea stone wristbands, has gradually exercised to the point where his fists will not be exhausted even if he puts his fists into the sea water.

As for Roman?

He has the most ranged attack methods, not to mention the ability to directly control paper flying and cutting. ——Only the exploding arrows that can be fired at any time by a few 'planes' that are about the size of a person hovering in the sky, the explosive power of Mr. 5 is much stronger than Usopp's 'Gunpowder Star'.

"Gunpowder Star, Gunpowder Star, Gunpowder Star!" X N

"Hey, Usopp, can't you change something else?"

Facing Zoro's words, Usopp, who kept pulling his slingshot, froze. Compared with other people's long-range attack ability, the so-called 'sniper' on this ship is a bit stretched.

Not reconciled...

"Vessel found at 12 o'clock."

Robin on the observation deck sent a message, which made everyone who was having fun fighting with the sea monkey in the sea a meal.

"What ship? Navy or pirate?"

Facing Luffy's question, even the well-informed Robin paused.

"No sails, no flags seen..."

? ?

"What are they doing in the sea without sails?"

Even Luffy knows that a ship without sails is not a ship, but a coffin! And Roman was also taken aback when he heard the words, and several paper birds disguised as seagulls flew towards the ship, and found during the circling investigation:

"It should be a pirate ship," Roman confirmed the identity of the other party from the clothes and equipment of those guys, as well as the hair that hadn't been bathed in months.

"But they look very decadent, as if they were abandoned."

Decadent, abandoned~~

Usopp next to him was taken aback, and stammered to take up the topic.

"Perhaps they lost the battle?"

"That's not the case," Robin on the observation deck closed her eyes. She directly attached her 'eyes' to Roman's paper bird, and witnessed the situation on the ship with her own eyes.

"They have no traces of fighting, and their weapons and equipment are still complete. It's strange..."

"Hey, let them know that the sea monkey is coming!"

Facing Luffy's request, Roman immediately commanded his scout bird to fly low and circle, and Robin grew 'mouths' on the paper bird and began to broadcast in a loop:

"Please pay attention to the ships below, there are sea monkeys making waves right in front of you, please raise your sails and turn the rudder~~~"

"Repeat again, the ships below please..."

?

"What is this?"

"Never mind this, there is a pirate ship ahead!"

"Copy the guy~~"

"You are blind, what's more, there are sea monkeys!!"

"What are you teaching me?"

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder!"

"captain!"

"No--"

"Navigator!"

"nor--"

The chaotic pirate ship crashed straight into the huge waves created by the sea monkey amidst the noise of fighting! And those small sea kings who suffered a lot behind the Golden Merry immediately changed their targets and sank the ship without sails and flags into the sea.

? ? ?

"That ship just now is very weird no matter how you think about it."

"No captain, no navigator, no flag, no sails, no spirit, no organization... It's not like a pirate at all."

Facing Usopp's doubtful words, the others remained calm.

"What's so strange about this, maybe they were ransacked when they encountered the enemy without resistance?"

Sauron leaned against the side of the ship and said casually.

"But is there any reason to grab the sails and not the ship? For pirates, there is nothing like life on board..."

"Maybe he's not a pirate?"

Luffy also joined the conversation, and Roman thought for a while to make the most reasonable explanation.

"I think it should be that the captain of the other party jumped ship with a few elites, leaving a group of crew members without flags and leaders."

Elite job hopping——

Usopp's face turned ugly again, making everyone else baffled.

"Everyone, I see the island."

Robin closed her eyes on the observation deck and opened her eyes. Her flowers and fruits combined with Roman's paper birds are excellent detection tools! One only needs to maintain the flight with all its strength, and the other only needs to observe carefully, and can scout a large area without consuming Roman's physical strength.

"Oh, Robin, you can't do this."

Luffy taught the other party with righteous words.

"That's it - guys, I found the island! Hooray!!"

Robin:···········

"Sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

"Well, I have an ominous premonition."

Facing the disheveled Usopp, even Sanji complained.

"When did you ever have a good hunch?"

"Everyone, I~~~"

Nami rubbed her forehead.

"Usopp, do you have the 'disease that you will die on the island' again?"

"what?"

Chopper was shocked, but was immediately stopped by others.

"Leave him alone, he can't be cured."

·······

"Okay, let's get ready to dock." Roman looked at the island that appeared in front of him, and he saw a rolling grassland at a glance. Although I don't know what kind of island this is, it's good to go ashore for a rest. By the way, add some wood or something~~

So he didn't see Usopp hesitating to speak behind him.

PS: I follow the progress of the manga, because the original plots of the manga are basically irrelevant to the main storyline, and there are many bugs. As for the theatrical version, I should wait for the protagonist group’s combat power to basically take shape before writing, otherwise there will be no domineering Luffy fighting the golden lion... Karp shed tears in the Warring States...
