The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"It's cold,"

Although after following Roman, Nami's dressing has not become more "bold and unrestrained", and she still has to pay attention to her image when she is in the navy. But it still maintains the level of T-shirts and single clothes in the "Donghai", so:

"Chopper, take off your fur and lend it to me."

"OK,"

Honest Chopper nodded, and was furious a second later!

"Can my fur be taken off?!"

"To be a strong person, you have to practice in winter and in summer." Roman among the white knights said as he walked, "But Nami's part is for me to become stronger."

Snapped,

As the white knight snapped his fingers, sheets of white paper flew onto Nami's body, forming a lifelike fur coat.

"Although the material is 'paper', I have attached a heat slightly higher than body temperature on it, which is most suitable in such a world of ice and snow."

"Hmph, you have a conscience."

When Roman and Nami 'interact', next to it:

"Yo ho ho ho, I'm getting goosebumps from the cold! — even though I don't have skin anymore."

"Even my icy steel body feels super cold..."

While Brooke and Frankie complained, Sanji calmly took a puff of cigarette.

"It's a gentleman's duty to solve problems for ladies! But Frankie, what does your 'air composition measuring instrument' show?"

"Well, everyone, be careful, there are still traces of toxins in the air."

After being reminded by Roman, Franky immediately rubbed a brick-like instrument in his workshop, and was carefully measuring the air content around.

"Of course, with our physique, this bit of poisonous gas won't even feel uncomfortable."

"Anyway, be careful."

Roman put on the white knight armor and took the initiative to walk to the upper air outlet. If there is any problem with the air, let him carry it first. Otherwise, it would be really boring to be killed and squatted in an iron cage in a flash by the little trick of 'taking away the oxygen'.

"These buildings . . . are full of Naval Laboratory style."

As a group of people came to a snow-covered building easily, Frankie frowned at the rigid architectural style in front of him, as well as the various initials that the government liked to use.

"It seems that we have come to a secret naval research base—although it seems to be abandoned."

"Yes or no, don't you know if you go in and have a look?"

The white knight took a step forward and put the gauntlet on the wall, facing the steel shell of the laboratory with a light 'push'.

crunch,

The complete steel wall has been pushed out of a 'door'. In the face of things like devil fruits, technology is sometimes really powerless.

"Come on, the adventure of the mysterious abandoned laboratory has officially begun."

Roman pointed to the dark door,

"For the 'fun' of the adventure, I still won't explain the next enemies."

? !

"You said 'enemy' again! This is not an abandoned laboratory at all, is it!?"

Chopper was so angry that the antlers and hat flew up.

"We are not Luffy, Mr. Roman, please explain what kind of enemies you will encounter~~ It is best to kill them all in advance!"

"Very well, everyone has no objections. Let's go—"

?

The white knight stepped into the steel gate first, and the others followed closely behind, only Chopper wept secretly. After Usopp is gone and Nami has changed, the three straw hats are left alone with little reindeer.

click,

As Sanji, Franky, Brooke, and Chopper also filed in, the metal gate on the wall closed again. There is no gap left, and the devil fruit is the existence that can make countless scientists scratch their heads!

—————

Ten minutes later, at the main entrance of the base,

A warship came all the way through the ice. The big 'G-5' logo on it means that this warship belongs to the notorious 'G-5' branch base in the navy.

The G-5 branch, which is a naval branch active in the New World, is known as a 'rogue army' because of its strong combat pressure and complex personnel composition. Torturing and killing pirates is commonplace, and the naval superiors also turn a blind eye to them, after all:

The army that deals with death every day is either very indulgent or very strict!

"Lieutenant General Small, the abandoned laboratory is ahead."

Smoker, who eavesdropped on Luffy's call, chased after him all the way, desperately trying to arrest the Straw Hats. However, he will soon usher in:

Kneel three times a day!

Therefore, the nature department can be used as a 'debuff', and Smoker can be regarded as a talent.

"Keep your eyes open and take a good look,"

Although Smoker's fruit development is worrying, he still has experience and vision.

"Didn't you notice the icebergs that blocked the river just now? The smooth cut surface and the series of numbers... are all man-made!"

"Look at these again,"

Speaking of which, Smoker pointed to the clean gate. Although it had been covered up by cleaning, traces of animal footprints could still be seen on the ground.

"Someone here has used animals to transport a large amount of various materials."

clang!

Just as "Detective" Smoker pointed Jiangshan, the huge laboratory door slowly opened, and a slender figure holding a long knife came out.

"Visiting my own villa in person...what's the point?"

Wearing a furry winter fur hat with leopard spots, eyes with specially personalized black eye bags, two small gold earrings on both ears, and a sexy mustache on the chin, wearing a black knee-length windbreaker The man leans against the gate.

"—White Hunter is in charge."

"Trafalgar Law!?"

"Shichibukai - Death Surgeon—"

"The bounty is 440 million Bailey..."

In an instant, the navy was so frightened that they all took a step back on the spot! Only Smoker was unimpressed.

"This is a 'restricted zone' that even the world government personnel are strictly forbidden to enter. Why are you here?"

Facing Smoker's questioning, Luo just smiled lightly.

"Each, each other,"

The implication is, didn't you also break in?

—————

"Obviously, the lab has been in use all along."

Dense pipelines, white street lamps, all-metal passages, various abbreviated slogans...

The 'Straw Hat Second Unit' headed by Roman wearing white knight armor walked in the bright laboratory like no one else, and soon wandered to a tall door.

"Biscuit House? This..."

This kind of "kindergarten" style name doesn't match the high-tech hidden scene here, right?

"Roman."

As Nami raised her chin forward, a piece of white paper floated in the white knight's palm, folded into the shape of a key, and then:

click,

"Is it a place to store food?"

As the door opened, the sound of several people chatting entered the room.

"Who knows? Maybe a 'kindergarten' wouldn't—?!"

Snapped,

The falling cigarette was caught by Sanji in mid-air, and he put it in his mouth again. It's just that the shocked expression still remained on his face.

"It's really a kindergarten..."

Toys, footballs, jigsaw puzzles, green mountains and green waters, cartoon characters painted on the surrounding walls, various animal models hanging from the ceiling, and a group of... big children in the room.

That's right, although the room is full of children aged three to seven or eight, the height is exaggerated.

"What's the matter, these children?"

"Could it be a child of the Giants—"

"No, their height..."

The tall ones are five or six meters high, and the short ones are two meters long, like a group of children who have been magnified to different multiples!

"who are you?"

"stranger--"

Although the group of children was huge, they were still shocked like normal children when they faced Roman and the others. Then:

"Whoa! Robots!!"

"And the armored man..."

"Civet cat!"

In the next second, the children were attracted by Franky, Roman, and Chopper in the team.

"Robots! Robots!"

"Armor knight! Armor knight!!"

······

"You seem to be very popular with children."

Facing Nami's complaints, Roman in the White Knight narrowed his eyes, sweeping over the group of children with a domineering look. ——Very well, they all look healthy, so...

"Wow!! The bone man——"

"It's scary, it's a skeleton,"

I noticed that Brooke's child was frightened and cried out, causing other children to turn around and run in a hurry. The huge size made rumbling footsteps resound in the room!

"Yo ho ho ho, please don't panic, kids."

"Ah, the skeleton has spoken!!"

Facing the even more surprised gigantic child, Brook gracefully pulled out the violin.

"I'm sorry to scare you."

"Then let me present a song for you."

As the melodious and simple melody sounded in the room, it was a carefree beat, a warm jingle, and a soft a cappella:

Sometimes the sound of the piano is high and cheerful, like a group of carefree teenagers playing and chasing; sometimes it is euphemistic and low, like an old mother calling for a long-lost child; sometimes it is clear and thin, like a gentle breeze blowing through a green bamboo forest...

"Wow, that's amazing—"

"It's Mr. Skeleton who can play the piano!"

"This is a violin, it's played, not played..."

As the sound of the piano mixed with Brook's gentle soul echoed in the room, the children who had panicked just now immediately fell silent. Looking at Brook with pure eyes, at this moment, the appearance of the opponent's skeleton is no longer important, what is important is:

"Mother,"

"I miss my parents too~~"

"Wow, I haven't seen them for a long, long time..."

"Hey, kids, don't cry~"

Unexpectedly, his song "Smiling First Quarter Moon" would make these huge children cry. Just as Brook was frantically trying to comfort the children, a group of armed personnel wearing one-piece protective suits, carrying oxygen cylinders and holding guns charged at them. came in.

"Who are you!"

"Dare to break into the territory of the 'Master', it is a dead end!"

Faced with this kind of troops that look like "regular armed forces", the Straw Hats generally avoid them as much as they can. ——It's not that they can't beat them, but such people generally represent 'country', 'government', 'navy' and the like.

Simply put, 'justice'.

"Tsk, let's go!" "A fight here will affect these brats..."

"Big sister, are you from outside the island?"

Seeing that the 'Straw Hat Team 2' was about to withdraw, a tall little girl mustered up the courage to stand up and stand in front of Nami.

"Save us!"

"We want to go home, our 'sickness' is cured!"

"Many of us are about to lose track of what our parents look like—big sister, can you help us?"

? !

"Hey? Isn't this a kindergarten?"

"Why don't you let you meet your parents..."

··········

"Roman, I want to help them."

Nami, who was also about to leave, turned around resolutely to face the armed men in biochemical suits.

Nami hated seeing children cry the most, because the death of her adoptive mother Bermer would always be the biggest regret in Nami's heart.

"OK,"

The white knight stepped forward and clapped his hands.

clatter~~

Countless white pigeons flew out of the white knight, flapping their wings and dancing in the room, like pieces of pure white clouds. Immediately grabs the attention of the little ones.

"Pigeon, pigeon~~"

"looks great!"

And then for those armed men in bio suits:

"Conjure a pigeon out of thin air? It's a devil fruit ability..."

"Could it be!?"

"It's 'White Dove' ahhh!"

"escape--"

But before they could turn around, pigeons rushed down one by one! Of course, Roman will not make too bloody movements in front of the children, so:

After the white pigeons hit the armed men, they suddenly spread into sheets of white paper, and then covered them! A few white doves will cover a person in pure white.

As the white paper squirmed and changed color, it turned into the same color as their biochemical suits, as if nothing had happened. but:

All the armed men who were trying to escape stopped, and then turned to face the White Knight like loyal soldiers.

"Paper Dance - Puppet Painting!"
