The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

fishman island,

A big battle... Well, for the Straw Hats, it was just a "warm-up battle" before entering the new world, so the curtain came to an end magically.

In any case, the Straw Hats—especially Luffy defeated Hody Jones in the armed coup in full view, and together with Princess White Star and the three princes defeated Vanderdeken IX who tried to destroy Murloc Island. Said to save Murloc Island twice.

Even the extreme murlocs have to admit that Straw Hat Luffy is their 'hero'!

at the same time:

"Luffy lost a lot of blood, which of you has type F blood?"

Faced with this problem, the surrounding murlocs and murlocs were stunned for a moment, then they looked at the 'New Murloc Pirates' being detained in the square, and when they were about to stand up one after another:

"Use mine to learn, mine is Type F."

Although Murloc Island has a 'law' that prohibits blood transfusions to save humans, but:

"I'm a pirate, don't obey the 'law'."

"Boss Jinbe..."

"We can do it too!"

"correct·····"

"That's good." King Neptune, who was also injured, shook his head and stopped the minister who hesitated to speak. "The old law is also a 'curse', and in the final analysis:"

The reason for this 'law' is to protect the residents of Fishman Island. ——Because in the past, once a murloc or mermaid transfused blood to humans, they would be assassinated! And the murderer:

It is now lying on the square.

"Humans, murlocs, and mermaids all bleed the same blood, so why do we have to distinguish each other?"

A man should be judged by his soul and deeds, not his race.

"Jinbe,"

Luffy closed his eyes after receiving the blood transfusion.

"Come be my partner!"

—————

sea ​​forest,

"The above is the information recorded on this stone tablet."

"Hey,"

Standing in front of the huge square stele, Roman sighed after Robin finished interpreting it.

"You seem disappointed?"

Facing Nami's words, Roman rubbed his eyebrows.

"It's not really disappointing, but..." Who wants to hear your nonsensical apology, brother, give me something dry! No wonder you lost 800 years ago, and it seemed like you didn't say anything...

"Mr. Roman, you seem to care about this man named 'Joy Boy'?"

Facing Robin's question, Roman thought for a while:

"Joey Boy... because this person from 800 years ago has a lot to do with 'One Piece', so I have to collect his information." To be precise, it should be said that there is a great chance, Luffy It's 'Joey Boy'!

"Huh, I'm worried that Mr. Roman is interested in 'Ancient Weapons'."

Facing Robin's words of playing hard to get, Roman waved his hands indifferently.

"It's better to make yourself stronger than to pursue ancient weapons! ——I still have a bit of arrogance, and..."

The real ancient weapon is right in front of us, and Shirahoshi is the legendary Aquaman! But still the same sentence, if it is reduced to relying on the strength of the little girl, then Roman, a traverser, might as well go back to the East China Sea to fish.

Who are you going to lose at sea?

"Roman!"

At this moment, a blank piece of paper flew over, and Luffy's voice came from inside.

"Come back quickly, the banquet is about to begin!"

"Okay, let's go—"

Having said that, in fact, Roman did not go to Dragon Palace immediately, but chose:

“Mermaid Cafe?!”

Nami, who had sparks of light jumping in her hair, looked at Roman with contempt, "I don't believe there is any 'business' in this kind of place!"

"The truth is, however, that there is someone here that I'd love to visit."

Lady Charlie, a blue shark mermaid. Also:

"Aaron's sister?"

"Yes, but they were separated when they were very young. There is basically no intersection between the two. You wait here for me—"

Asking Nami and Robin to wait outside for a while, Roman pushed the door alone and walked into the 'Mermaid Cafe' in front of him. It's a pity that Murloc Island has just experienced a big battle that was almost destroyed, so this kind of entertainment place is empty. only:

"My guest, there is no girl for business today."

"Everyone's preparing a banquet for the heroes—"

In the hall, there was only one mermaid with short black hair covering one eye, exposing the other with cold blue eye shadow, pale skin, purple nails, wearing a hooded top, and smoking with a pipe in her hand.

Although she is not small (six meters), but with her tight waist, turbulent weapons, and glamorous temperament, there is no doubt that she is a big mermaid! However, in Roman's eyes:

"I'm here to see you today, Mrs. Charlie."

"Oh? I don't know what the big business is doing here?"

The mermaid who put down the pipe stretched out her hand to signal Roman to "please sit down"——

"The star of the navy, alternate admiral 'White Dove'."

As the owner of the 'Mermaid Cafe', the other party was born to be a well-informed intelligence businessman. It's no surprise that Roman's "true identity" can be recognized, after all, Roman didn't deliberately cover it up on Fishman Island. But Roman didn't come here to get information, but:

"I want to know about the 'future'."

"future····"

"I know Mrs. Xia Li is a famous fortune-teller, or to say 'divinator' simply belittles your ability."

The accuracy of this aloof mermaid's divination and prophecy is as high as 100%. When she was a child, she predicted the coming of the age of great pirates, and even predicted the fall of 'Whitebeard' before the big event happened. It is simply another humanoid bug.

"So, I want to know my own 'future'."

"...Aren't you afraid that after knowing the future, you will be even more confused?"

Facing the words of the great blue shark mermaid Charlie, Roman smiled proudly.

"I still have a little confidence in how to guide the future to my 'favorable' side."

··········

crunch,

After a few minutes:

Roman who pushed the door out waved to Nami Robin who was guarding outside.

"Let's go~~ Luffy might be in a hurry at the banquet."

"Roman, you seem to be in a good mood?"

"Yeah, I got a good piece of information. —— Or should I say it's a natural piece of information..."

As the three left, the mermaid in the 'Mermaid Cafe', who was called 'Mrs. Xia Li', looked at the crystal ball that exploded in front of her and sighed.

"What a horrible man,"

"Are you so confident even knowing your own 'death date'?"

—————

"Hahaha~~~Roman, Nami, Robin, come here!"

As the three of them came to the Dragon Palace and boarded the "banquet" made of silk fish and flounder, the entire Murloc island offered blessings and applause to the "hero". And of course, great wine and food!

"This is the pride of our Murloc Island, the number one singer: Ms. Maria Napoleon!"

Tsk tsk tsk, real dolphin treble...

"And the girls from 'Mermaid Cafe' as special guests!"

So these mermaids are here...

"Eat and drink to your heart's content!"

"Sing and dance to your heart's content!"

"Sincere blessings to our heroes!"

"May this day be every day after!"

Humans, murlocs, and mermaids can live in peace, which is the biggest wish of Murloc Island. Everyone is eating and drinking, everyone is partying! only:

"Jinbe, are you planning to sever your relationship with Big Mom?"

Roman and Jinbe chatted casually while drinking tea.

"Have Roman Brothers already known?"

"It's strange if you don't know, after all, there is such a big 'big mom' pirate logo hanging on your dim sum factory."

"Yes, although 'Big Mom' is a bit... But thanks to her, the Fish-Man Island has been safe and sound in the turbulence of the past two years. But since Captain Luffy personally invited me, please allow me to make a conclusion. Then join the Straw Hats!"

"Sorry, I'm in my position, I can't help myself."

"No, it should. But—"

Roman took a sip of tea, "With all due respect, my aunt's personality... She is famous for 'no one who comes will be rejected, and those who go will be killed'! As long as she joins her pirate team, she will accept everything; but If you want to break away from Big Mom's influence, then it's not a matter of life."

"I understand, but this is the only way I can think of for my people."

Only forces like the Four Emperors can protect Murloc Island!

Among the four emperors, Blackbeard himself has a grudge against Jinpei, so he will not consider him at all; "Red Hair" is notoriously unrestrained, free-spirited, and has no interest in expanding the territory at all; "Hundred Beasts" Pirates ····You are good at letting them destroy, but protecting one side is bullshit...

Only the "big mom" who puts intelligence first and takes everything black and white can have enough deterrence and influence to protect Murloc Island. For this reason, what's the point of "selling oneself" to the other party?

But it’s different now, someone sincerely invited him to board the boat, and Jinbe also saw from Luffy the hope that the Fishman Island would really come under the sun, so:

"Anyway, it's something I need to know for myself. Then—"

"This old man's life, I will go through fire and water for Captain Luffy, and I will not hesitate!"

"Hee hee hee, I don't want you to go through fire and water~~~"

Luffy's head with its neck stretched out flew over.

"I want everyone to come to Ralph Drew with me, this is the real 'One Piece'!"

"It's a bit difficult, Luffy."

Facing Roman's words, Luffy grinned.

"That's why I need you all - sailing, cooking, healing, repairing... and Roman you to give advice, and I will be responsible for smashing everything that hinders us!"

"Since you said so,"

Then I will definitely go all out!
