The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Damn it!"

It was only a few seconds between Roman's perception of the strong enemy and the bursting out of his full strength to strike the samurai with a "real strike" in seconds, and then to the time when he stepped on the "razor" and returned to the flagship! but:

"Let her go! The golden lion—"

Facing the guy who fell from the sky, he raised his hand and knocked out the many marines on the deck, and then held Nami hostage: the guy had blond hair like a cloak, a rudder stuck in his bald head, and his feet were swords... ··

With this look, Roman immediately recognized the other party's identity.

"Momo - 20x speed shock sword!"

The long sword in Roman's hand suddenly turned into a hazy white light and shrouded it towards the opponent! He wasn't ready to talk to the other party, even if he wanted to use words to delay time, at least he had to wait until Nami was safe.

"Good swordsmanship,"

Facing the amazing swordsmanship of Roman, a cadre who had defected from Wano Country Kaido just now, Golden Lion just raised his eyelids and sneered, and suddenly lifted his right foot!

The former Golden Lion was also a famous swordsman. The two famous swords "Sakura Ten" and "Deadwood" in the palm of his hand were not defeated in the battle with Roger, Whitebeard and others. Even if he broke his legs when he escaped from prison later and used the two famous swords as artificial legs, he was still unparalleled in sharpness !

"Lion-Zhan Rui!"

A huge sword energy suddenly split out! Without fear, he shook Roman's white sword light.

Click! !

Roman, who tried his best, and the Golden Lion, who was understated, fought together, and the huge warship suddenly sank! The deck was cut into random geometric figures out of thin air! The surrounding sea surged with huge waves amidst the rumbling sound!

Even around the clashing weapons, streaks of dark 'light' exploded in the air and radiated in all directions! That is impressively:

"Armed domineering, domineering domineering?"

Feeling the impact from his feet, the golden lion opened the corner of his mouth, showing cruelty and arrogance.

"A mere rear admiral actually possesses the qualifications of a 'king', isn't it too funny?"

"Old and immortal!"

Although it looked evenly matched in a fight, Roman had already lost. ——Because under Roman's angry blow, the opponent stood on one leg and took the next blow! At the same time, the arm that hijacked Nami did not relax in the slightest, and the judgment was judged. and:

"Is this little girl very important to you?"

As the golden lion sent Nami, who was held hostage by one arm, slightly forward, Roman had to stop to prevent the aftermath of the two of them from hurting Nami! Facing the golden lion who took the opportunity to stab forward with a leg knife, the long sword in his hand circled and parried to block the opponent's long sword, but Roman was inevitably forced to retreat.

"Golden Lion!"

Roman looked at the big pirate in front of him who was said to have been silent for nearly twenty years, and really couldn't figure out why the other party was following him... No, it should be Nami.

If Roman remembers correctly, in the "Original Book", it is entirely Luffy's "monster-attracting" trait that attracts the other party. Now everyone in the Straw Hats is honestly leveling and developing, why is this guy still...

"You are also a legendary pirate who was as famous as Roger and Whitebeard."

Since you can't beat it, let's try the mouth gun:

"Don't go to trouble with Sengoku and Garp, and come to make things difficult for us juniors." While talking about Roman, he winked at Nami, "Don't you feel shameful?"

'Use every page! '

'No, I can't use it...'

?

"Jie ha ha ha ha!!!"

Facing Roman's aggressive general, Golden Lion just raised his head and laughed.

"This old man is a pirate!"

"Who cares about your sanctimonious reputations? And—"

The golden lion holding Nami with one arm raised its chin, proudly looking at Roman who spread his wings and floated in mid-air.

"Don't expect this little girl to be able to escape by herself, you should have heard of the domineering appearance of the armed color. ——That's right, not only can it be used to attack, but it can also be used to imprison those with abilities!"

! ?

Your sister, isn't it true that you have dementia with your head stuck in the rudder of a ship, and you were beaten half to death by Garp and the Sengoku mixed doubles, and your strength has dropped greatly since you broke your legs? How come...

Tsk, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if the Golden Lion is hurting a lot now, and the old man is only better than the white beard, but it is still not something that Roman can do alone! Or:

"It's not rude to come and go, and—"

The figure flashed, and the tall figure of the golden lion imprisoning Nami with domineering aura appeared above Roman!

"I don't like looking up at people, get the hell out!"

"Lion - Slash!"

This is a combination of kicking and swordsmanship! Traversing the sky, its power is unparalleled, like branding an insurmountable dividing line of thousands of meters in the sea, even nature is temporarily surrendered under the mighty power of the other party.

What's even more frightening is that there is no mercy at all on this sword, and the domineering and murderous aura is soaring! There is a sword that sweeps thousands of troops, and the lion swallows the world with fierce and domineering power.

"Air door—"

Ka Ka Ka! ! !

This sword can divide the sea and break the sky! But he was still resisted by Roman, and under his feet was the 'air' that exploded like glass. That was the foothold he created with his ability 'door door book page', otherwise he would have been smashed into the sea by the golden lion's sword long ago!

"Oh? You have quite a variety of fruit abilities."

The golden lion's domineering pupils turned downward, looking down at Roman.

"Whitebeard's shock ability, Walder's Momo ability..."

These are all strong men from the same era as Golden Lion, it is impossible for him not to recognize these abilities. but:

"It's far from the 'original'."

nonsense!

Roman, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, pouted bitterly, you old bastards! Wait for me to develop for another two years... Forget it, it is unrealistic to expect the enemy to wait for me to become stronger. Now the important thing is:

Roman is leaving, and few people in this world can stop him. But now that Nami is being held hostage by the other party, this...

"Jie hahahaha~~"

Noticing Roman's eyes, the corners of the Golden Lion's mouth moved up to both sides.

"Emotions, hometown, these are just burdens."

brush,

The 'Sakura Wood' on his feet slammed down, and the moment Roman raised his sword to block, the Golden Lion rolled over and pressed down, and Nami, who was held hostage by him, approached Roman's long sword at high speed at the same time!

? !

"mean--"

It's a pity that the Golden Lion is a cruel and cruel pirate through and through! As long as the goal can be achieved, he doesn't mind using any means.

In an instant, Roman instinctively withdrew his sword and backed away, so as not to accidentally injure Nami. But the golden lion smiled cruelly!

"Look,"

"Lion - beheaded!"

The long sword with armed domineering and overlord-like domineering suddenly slammed down,

boom! !

Huge power struck from top to bottom, even with the long sword in his hand to block, there was still a wave of severe pain engulfing Roman! Supported entirely by will.

At the same time, the clouds in the sky were torn apart, and the sea surface was split in two! A bottomless ravine was exposed, and Roman, who had not had time to adjust his figure, fell downwards. The golden lion, covered in blood, suddenly flew down and touched the sea water next to him with one hand.

"General."

! ?

"Piao Piao - poisonous snake!"

boom--

The surrounding sea water poured into the gully in an instant, causing a fierce vortex and tsunami. Then, under the power of the golden lion, it calmed down in an instant, turning into a raging current and pressing Roman to the bottom of the sea!

Roman, who was seriously injured by a sword, didn't even have time to react, and his body was submerged in the sky full of sea water! The last sight in my eyes was the arrogant golden lion holding Nami and flying into the sky.

Darkness is coming!

···············

"Cough cough, cough cough!!"

When the seawater in his lungs was squeezed out, Roman gradually regained a sense of 'alive', and various noises gradually rang out in his ears.

"Boss is awake!"

"Get out of the way, don't hang around here—"

"Boat doctor, treat the boss quickly..."

"I·····"

? !

Roman, who suddenly sat up from the deck, glanced around, his pale face became even uglier, making Polkin and the others bow their heads in shame.

"Old... Boss, we failed to prevent the other party from taking Colonel Ann away..."

"I don't blame you."

Roman, who came back to his senses, waved his hands. Although Polkin and Iska were barely considered 'masters', they were nothing but miscellaneous soldiers who raised their hands and killed a bunch of soldiers in front of the Golden Lion. Even Roman himself didn't notice for a while...

Do not!

Roman shook his head, driving away such cowardly thoughts.

Even without Nami's influence, the Golden Lion's strength is still not something Roman can handle alone, and in the end it's just a matter of struggling a few more tricks.

"Did you pick me up?"

Glancing at the listless crowd, — just now Roman and the Golden Lion collided head-on, with unrestrained dominance, Polkin and the others were able to rescue Roman who was crushed into the bottom of the sea in the first place, which is already good.

"Thanks."

"Boss! We..."

Facing the ashamed crowd, Roman slowly stood up.

"I said, don't blame you."

"I will take care of Colonel Na... An's matter!"

As Roman woke up, the blood bottle paper began to replenish vitality, and the return of life began to mobilize the body's muscles, viscera, bone alignment, discharge of congestion, and cell regeneration...

? !

"You take care of the rest, I'll take a rest first."

Facing Roman, who was pale and walking alone to the cabin, both Polkin and Iska silently moved out of the way. ——In their opinion, Roman, who is a rear admiral at a young age and has top-notch strength and brains, was attacked by the legendary big pirate and kidnapped his girlfriend face to face. His heart must be filled with uncontrollable anger and sadness... ·

"It's all because we are too weak!"

Polkin gritted his teeth and said bitterly, if he didn't work hard to become stronger, he wouldn't be able to protect anything when facing a stronger enemy...

"What are you still doing?!"

"Pack everything up and return to Navy Headquarters!"

—————

In the cabin, Roman was not as decadent and sad as they imagined, because:

"It's me, Roman."

"Roman!! Is something wrong with Nami!"

Luffy's anxious voice suddenly came from the phone paper.

? !

"How do you—"

"Don't ask us how we know, what's going on with you?"

Sanji's voice cut in.

"What happened? Why didn't you protect it..."

"Cook, shut up!"

Zoro's calm voice interrupted Sanji's questioning,

"Do you know what you're talking about? Roman is the one who's most anxious right now!"

"·····sorry,"

When Sanji apologized, Robin's intellectual voice was replaced on the phone paper.

"It's hard to imagine, Mr. Roman actually... just now we received a code from Nami, which was translated as 'Roman is in danger, please help'. That's why we..."

"Hey, Roman!"

Usopp's voice joins in.

"Tell us who the enemy is!—or do you think we'll be slowing down?"

"Mr. Roman..."

"Woooooh, Roman~~~"

"Roman, it's not silence at this time..."

"Ha, no."

Roman, who was sitting in the cabin and clutching his forehead, has recovered from the blow of failure, because:

"I'm just calculating the best route to bring you together."

"···········"

"Hahahaha, just to show you my new weapon—"

"Hmph, my knife is already hungry and thirsty."

"Ahhhh, I'll just run over there! Burn it, gentleman's soul!"

"Mr. Roman is still as reliable as ever~~"

"We're waiting for your plan."

"Mr. Roman, I will go through fire and water for my companions! Although I only have a pair of bones left, yo ho ho ho~~"

"Hee hee hee, what are you waiting for?"

Luffy's voice made the final summary:

"Come pick me up, Roman!!"

······

"Okay, wait for me."

Friends, Nami, and—

Golden lion!

—————

PS: The golden lion must be domineering in three colors, this needs no explanation. I can only weaken from his dark wounds, broken legs and dementia...
