The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 17 Exercise in Silobu Village

   "1050,"

   "1051,"

  On the deck of a merchant ship, Luffy and Sauron, wrapped in paper bandages, hummed and squatted with their heads on their backs. And Nami who is also exercising...

   "Why should I join?!"

   Facing tearful Nami, Roman, who was standing next to the rudder, raised his eyes.

   "Do you want to fight me too?"

  "If you beat me, you don't have to listen to me—"

  "Forget it, I practice qigong from the heart..."

  Luffy and Sauron both lost, and Nami felt that she had better not ask herself to be boring. but:

   "Roman, don't you need to exercise?"

  "Who said I didn't exercise?" Roman waved his hand. On the rudder next to him, a pair of white ‘paper hands’ were driving the boat forward.

  "I am exercising fruit ability. If we can create a free-moving'paper clone', we can greatly alleviate the shortcomings of our shortage of manpower..."

  Well, because many of Roman’s ideas require precise ‘control’, he is really ‘exercising’ now.

   "Roman, you can cut me with a knife, understandable."

  Luffy, who was wrapped in a ‘paper bandage’ again, yelled while exercising.

   "Why can shields hurt me~~"

  "Is it the ‘dominant’ you said?"

   "Dreaming," Roman couldn't complain, "If I could be domineering, I would have gone to the ‘new world’ long ago!"

   "In my opinion, domineering is an extension of'soul'."

  “The color of seeing and hearing represents ‘perception’, the color of armed represents ‘will’, and the color of overlord represents..." Fate? Air volume? Or something else... Roman shook his head, the thing was so mysterious, he didn't know.

   "In short, I don't even know the specific exercise method of domineering, how can I use what kind of ‘armed color’."

   As Roman stretched out his hand and called, a white ‘paper hand’ floated out of the cabin with a samurai sword in his hand. —Not Sauron's darling, but the ‘cargo’ of this merchant ship.

  Although the Romans have never cared much, but in the cabin under the deck, there is still a huge fortune: it is a box of swords and sniper shots!

   "I just attached the tiny triangle ‘paper’ to the edge of the shield, just like I do now."

  With Roman’s ability to deliberately ‘magnify’, a piece of paper with a ‘sawtooth’ appearance appeared on the edge of his palm that pointed like a knife.

   "Then, I will make them move at high speed."

   Buzzing~~~

  In the deep buzzing, these ‘sawtooth’ moved quickly on Roman’s body, forming a gray chain saw! Then he aimed at the samurai sword floating in front of him, and the hand sword slammed down.

  锵!

  Sparks splash, metal clang.

  The samurai sword with sheath is split into two instantly!

   "Cut, rely on the ability of the fruit, not to be a swordsman."

   Facing Sauron’s unhappy words, Roman shrugged. "Please, I am a fruit-powered person. I am not a swordsman..."

  If Luffy faces Roman's sword and shield, he is facing two high-speed cutting chain saw swords! Basically, it hurts when it touches it, and it hurts when it touches it. Not to mention fighting, just dodge is extremely embarrassing.

  So when Sauron faced Roman, he encountered a steel fortress. Strike the iron throughout the whole process, continue to scrape, and finally get down on the ground.

   "If you can cut through the steel, maybe you still have the hope of victory."

  But obviously, Sauron does not have this strength now.

   Facing Roman, who was wearing ‘Paper Dance-Iron Armor’ and carrying a shield, Sauron was helplessly knocked to the ground after he chopped out the sky full of sparks. —I don’t break the defense at all, what do I use to fight it?

  Although it is said that as long as the strength is enough, even if it does not break the defense, it can ‘shock’ people.

  Although Sauron can barely break the ‘Paper Dance-Iron Armor’ on Roman’s body if he uses ‘Devil Slash’ and other skills, but...

  Don’t forget, even if the fruit ability is removed, Roman’s own strength is not under Sauron and Luffy! So the discussion ended in the failure of the two of them, which was originally a matter of course.

  Speaking of, dealing with Romans with the ability of ‘full-body armor’, using heavy weapons instead hurts more. But Roman is already very agile, and the weight of the paper ‘armor’ and ‘weapons’ is almost zero, causing his speed to come and go like wind.

  In short, I am willing to bet.

  Luffy and Sauron had to sweat and start to exercise, bid farewell to the daily ‘playing treasure’, so that Roman was cleaned a lot.

  ———

   "Too sloppy~~"

  ?

   "This is a merchant ship, right?"

  I took a hot bath comfortably and got rid of all the sweat. Nami sitting on the paper chair began to talk business to Roman. —As for Luffy and Sauron? Already asleep on the side deck.

   "Although this merchant ship is not bad, it is not suitable for navigation, right?"

  As the name suggests, merchant ships are used to load cargo. It has the shortcomings of slow speed and poor firepower while being large in size and high in stability. And if you go to a great route, what you need is a ship that is light and fast, has a certain amount of long-range firepower, and can move forward and backward freely in the eyes of a group of enemies.

   "So, we need a professional boat. And—"

  Nami asked suspiciously, wiping her hair with a towel.

   "Is it really good to waste fresh water like this?"

  Hot water bath or something... is an extremely luxurious thing for the crew of any sailing vessel. Even if the cargo space of this merchant ship is large enough...

   "Ah, that, don't worry."

  Roman waved his hand.

  "I can provide a large amount of paper as a ‘fuel’, and fresh water is only the product I filter out with sea water."

   "Hey, hey, hey?"

  "Because my paper has the characteristics of ‘biology’ to a certain extent, I can make these things as long as I want..." A blank piece of paper appeared in Roman’s hand.

  "With biological cell wall function, and then through the'reverse osmosis principle', fresh water can be purified from seawater..."

   "I'm sorry, I understand every word you say, but all together—"

  Nami, who was looked up and down by Roman with a ‘unlearning and no skill’ gaze, clenched her fists, so angry~~! If you and I exchange strengths, I must know what cruelty is!

   "Anyway, you can treat this as one of my fruitful capabilities."

  Roman stroked his chin.

   "Just call it'Paper Dance-Water Purification'."

  ·········

"as long as you are happy."

  ———

   "Close to the subject, before we enter the great route, we'd better change another boat."

  Romain nodded in favor of Nami’s proposal. Just like the ‘Riding the Wind and Wave’ that he had stayed in before, the Silver Light Pirates group was able to turn the dangers into peace several times, relying on the ship that could sail at high speed.

  Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he was finally destroyed in his own hands.

  The ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Roman, and it was considered the last reunion place of the ‘Silver Pirates’.

  "Well, our next destination is called'Sirobu Village'. It would be better to get a new boat there..."

   Facing Nami who was looking at the chart seriously, Roman rubbed his eyebrows.

  Sirobu Village·····

  Usopp’s hometown is also the place where the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, the Golden Meri, was obtained. I remember that Usopp’s childhood sweetheart had a pirate undercover known as "Haiji". What was his name... Knock? Or is it Crowe?

  Roman recalled for a long time, only remembered that the other party had a signature action of pushing the glasses with the palm of his hand, and the long sharp blades on ten fingers... It seemed that it was just a trash.

  Very good, hit the opponent directly when you get there, and get the boat reward...

and many more!

  Roman rubbed his temples, wondering if he had been with Luffy for a long time, and his IQ had plummeted to such a point! How can there be such a simple and straightforward thing in the world? Run to beat people and get rewards...what about playing games? And remember that it seems that the other party’s secret conversation was hit by Luffy and others, just...

  Forget it, since you know who has the problem, it's very simple.

  Roman's eyes flickered, being a ‘bad guy’, he can’t be the best~~
