The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 22 Sword Emperor Sword Saint Sea Restaurant

   "985,"

   "986,"

On the deck of   Golden Merley, Luffy and Sauron hummed and squatted with heavy loads on their backs. And Nami and...

   "Why should I join?!"

   Facing the tearful Usopp, Roman, who also exercised with weights on his back, raised his eyelids.

   "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..."

  ·······Deja vu Yan is back.

   "Hahaha~~"

   "Nami, what are you laughing at?"

   "Sure enough, the proverb about ‘friends’ says it well:" Nami who was also exercising smiled and looked at Usopp, who had cramps in her legs next to her, "I’m happy to hear that you are worse off than me."

  ········

   "This friendship is too realistic."

  However, it is useless to complain. After completing the training amount set by Roman, other people still have the energy to talk and laugh. Poor Usopp doesn't even have the power to turn over.

  "This is not the same as imagined..."

  Pirate life should not be banquets, carnivals, storms, battles, etc...

   "Sweat more in peacetime, but bleed less in wartime."

  Roman, who was turning the rudder of the Golden Meri, had to control the two'paper arms' to drive the merchant ship behind and raised his eyelids.

   "Usopp, your physical fitness is only 0.8 Nami level, which I did not expect."

  "Hey, hey, what is 0.8 Nami level..."

  Nami, who just took a shower and stopped doing it, when did she become a unit of physical fitness?

   "Because your physical fitness is considered to be the person who can best represent the average level of pirates here."

  Roman answered seriously.

   "Otherwise, how about I change it to 0.04 Luffy?"

   "Forget it...it's too shocking."

   "But it doesn't matter, your potential should be more than that."

  Roman looked at Usopp.

  "You should only have not gone through systematic exercise before, so that's why you look like this...weak chicken. Now start exercising to develop your physical potential, I believe you will soon exceed 1 Nami level..."

   "Enough, Roman! Don't use me as a standard unit..."

  ———

  The days of sailing are not at all magnificent, nor are they gorgeous and exciting at all.

  Most of the time it is an endless sea, without wind and waves and no other ships. And in order to prevent Luffy from playing treasures, Roman made a detailed exercise plan every day to eliminate their excess energy. but:

   "I think we need a pirate flag."

  Faced with Luffy’s serious proposal, everyone else, including Roman, also nodded in agreement.

  How to say they now have as many as five members! It's time to play your own banner!

  "锵锵锵~~"

   "Look at the picture I drew?"

  ········

How to say   , although it can be seen roughly as a skull and crossbones flag, but:

   "This guy, you can see that there is no artistic cell at a glance."

  This is Usopp who tells the truth.

   "No, from a certain point of view... it can also be regarded as art."

  This is Nami with a thoughtful look.

  "The Pirate Banner is a symbol of deterrence..."

  This is the speechless Sauron.

  "This is not so much the Pirate Flag as it is kindergarten graffiti."

  Roman rubbed his temples. If you really hang this thing, you can laugh at him without having to fight...No, think about it carefully. Maybe this is actually a strategy of Luffy?

  Show the enemy is weak...

  No, no, Roman shook his head.

  Usually Luffy should not have brain cells that can think about these things!

   "Forget it, leave it to me like painting."

  As the only ‘artist’ among several people, Usopp took over the brush as his part. However:

  It can’t be said that the painting is not good, but: a long-nosed skull with a slingshot on one side and a leg bone on the other. Even added a star special effect...

  Boom! X2

   "You are completely yourself, right?"

  Usopp, who was beaten by Luffy and Sauron at the same time, had to paint a new "Straw Hat Pirate Flag", which made others look at him with admiration.

   "It's pretty good."

  "Unimaginable, it is the same pattern..."

The comparison between    and Luffy’s painting is simply the difference between the seller show and the buyer show.

   "Hmm, I am not only good at drawing, but also shooting-I can do a lot of shots easily!"

  After performing a cannon to blast off a small rock **** exposed in the distant sea:

  "Very well, you will be the ‘sniper’ and ‘painter’ on our ship from now on."

  Luffy waved his hand and gave Usopp two positions.

  ?

"Hey,"

  Roman raised his head and looked at the paper cranes flying in the sky. One of them flew over the small stone **** that had just been bombarded by Usopp. After circling a few times:

   "There is good news and bad news, do you want to hear that?"

  ? ?

   "Bad news."

Facing Luffy's choice, Roman nodded.

   "You shelled the place just now, and someone is resting there.-You hit a passerby."

  Ah this...

   "What about the good news?"

  Luffy from Sparta and Usopp asked anxiously.

   "The good news is that those two people don't seem to be dead yet."

  ———

   "Damn it, I lost a little bit..."

  When Roman and the others turned to the past, a swordsman jumped out of the ruins of the rock slope, shouting to ‘kill for life’. It was turned over by Luffy with a trick...

   "Joseph, cheer up!"

   After he rescued the other person, he discovered that it was Sauron’s former ‘companion’, and he was also a pirate hunter named Joseph and Johnny, his obsessive brother. But now one of them was unharmed, and the other was pale, and the wound on his stomach was bleeding. but:

   "This is scurvy, right?"

  It’s not that Usopp’s shells hurt the opponent, but:

   "What is scurvy?"

  Faced with the doubts of Luffy Usopolsoron trio, Nami had to give them popular science:

"Scurvy is a disease caused by the lack of vitamin C in the human body. Long-term insufficient intake will increase the fragility of capillaries and cause bleeding under the skin and mucous membranes. It is called scurvy in medicine. All you need is... "

   "Just add this."

  Roman has brought out a glass of orange juice and gave it to another hunter named Johnny to feed it to the man named Joseph.

  "Fresh vegetables, oranges, lemons, etc. can all prevent sepsis, but if the diet is unbalanced in the long-term sailing, it will be like this."

  Roman said and glanced at Luffy.

   "Especially you, Luffy.-You only know when you eat meat. It's not surprising when you get a bunch of strange diseases."

  Like this guy, his previous life is definitely a model of the "three highs"!

   "Speaking of which, I am hungry..."

   "Okay, I'm going to cook."

  Roman rolled his eyes. Although he can control his ‘paper hands’ to cook while increasing his fruit proficiency, he:

   "Seriously, the number of times I cook during this time is almost the same as the previous generation..."

  In the cabin restaurant, watching Luffy chewing on the food he cooked—including Johnny and Joseph who had just been rescued. Roman touched his chin and fell into doubt about his cooking again.

  It doesn’t make sense, I’m not Liu Angxing, and I didn’t put poppy shells in it...

"good to eat!"

   "I think even potato stew would be delicious, right?"

  Roman no longer wanted to listen to the opinions of these guys who all had a ‘steel gastrointestinal’. He knocked on the plate with a knife and fork in his hand.

   "I think we must recruit a professional chef."

  "A good chef can not only make delicious food, but also adjust the nutritional balance, and even use food to subtly strengthen the body of the eater..."

  This is not a fantasy. In this magical world, many foods have incredible powers and can give people real power!

  The Devil Fruit is one of the best.

   "So, where can we go to find such a chef?"

  Faced with Sauron’s question, Roman directly pointed at Nami with the knife and fork in his hand.

   "Of course we have to ask the most experienced person in navigation in China,"

  "As a person who has been active in the East China Sea all year round, Nami should know that there are chefs there, right?"

   "Knowing is knowing, but—"

  Nami, who wiped her mouth with a napkin, thought for a while, took out a chart and spread it out. Point to a sea area.

   "On our route slightly northerly,"

   "There is a very famous ship in this sea area called'Sea Restaurant'.-If you need a chef, you can go there and have a look. But I don't know if others are willing to board the ship."

  Speaking, Nami's fingers paused.

  On the land next to the sea, there is this humble village:

  Coco Yassi.

  It’s so fast, the happy journey is coming to an end...
