The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Should it be a forest this time?"

"...Yes, but it's just an artificially planted landscape tree. ——Normal forests are not so 'tidy'."

"Roman Saint, the royal family of Liku, the royal family of Naferutali, and distinguished guests from Murloc Island, please hold on to this handrail. The 'moving walkway' will bring you to the venue."

Facing the automatic walkway that can move forward as long as you stand on it, some royal families are familiar with it, some royal families look envious, and some royal families:

"Father, why don't we go over there?"

On the one hand, Shark Star was thinking about his sister,

"Shirahoshi, don't you want to see the forest? Such a beautiful scenery can be enjoyed slowly."

"Can you? Father."

Facing his children's request, Neptune first looked at Roman next to him.

"Lord Roman?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter how you choose to get to the venue."

In fact, the Tianlong people don't like to use this 'automatic walkway' either, but choose to ride slaves to pass the time slowly.

"Then let's walk together."

Weiwei's family and Rebecca's family also stayed, and walked along the way to see the scenery. On the other hand: the proposed shark star looked pensive.

something doesn't always feel right...

"Under this 'moving walkway'?"

Weiwei also frowned,

"Gives me a bad feeling."

?

"It's people,"

Rebecca gave the answer directly,

"And a lot of weak people."

? !

"To be precise, slaves."

Roman, who was walking in front, further exposed the darkness of this world, "This so-called 'automatic walkway' is actually just a conveyor belt driven by a large number of slaves below, and has nothing to do with 'technology' at all."

! ! !

"This...is really..."

"So, don't have unrealistic expectations of a world government."

"Damn it, is the so-called world government and the so-called Tianlong people like this? The descendants of some kind of god..."

Because Roman was there, there were no guards from the Holy Land around. In addition, everyone here is a royal family who has been greatly favored by the Straw Hats, so they will not spread Roman's words everywhere, and:

"Excuse me, please,"

Although Neptune couldn't see his expression, he was already in a cold sweat.

"Those guards just now... called His Excellency Roman 'Saint Roman'?"

"Hey, hey, hey? How could—"

Weiwei, who was reprimanded angrily just now, was surprised that the villain was by my side!

"What's so strange about this? I can't choose what I wear...be born. What's more, the so-called 'Dragon Man' is nothing more than an identity. What does it have to do with my own personality and behavior?"

"That's right, we all know the character of His Excellency Roman, it's definitely not those..."

"Yes, we absolutely trust Mr. Roman!"

Neptune and Cobra immediately stated their position, and at the same time told everyone to keep the matter tight-lipped.

From pirates to the navy, from the navy to the Celestial Dragons——

Rebecca didn't realize it!

"Ann, in fact, my identity is a semi-public 'secret' among the high-level navy. Speaking of which, Weiwei, aren't you also a Tianlong person? It's just that your ancestors refused to move into the Holy Land."

In this world, there will be some strange things in all walks of life, and it is not worth making a fuss at all.

"Ahead is the 'Social Square', where you can get in touch with the royal families of other countries first."

And the reason why Roman led the way himself is this:

Fishman Island, Alabasta, and Dressrosa, although the strength of the three countries are not weak, they are definitely not ranked in the entire New World. It is inevitable that he will be looked down upon by other countries. If you add the friendship of "Alternate Admiral of the Navy", you can rise to a higher level out of thin air!

That's right, on the one hand, Roman wanted to ensure that Shirahoshi and the others wouldn't be harassed by people with no eyesight, and on the other hand, he also used himself as a 'bargaining chip' to increase the weight of the three countries in the subsequent negotiations.

"Mr Roman,"

"Your Excellency Alternate General,"

Along the way, members of the royal family continued to nod and toast Roman friendlyly, and Roman also introduced the countries he had dealt with in the past two years to Cobra, Neptune, and King Liku. especially:

"Grandma Gulorioza,"

Among the guards of a group of heroic Amazon female warriors is the queen of the former Amazon's daughter country, Guroliosa, who is less than 1.5 meters high. No way, although the current king of the Daughter Kingdom is the "Empress" Boya Hancock, but given Hancock's dislike for the Holy Land and the Tianlong people...

Coming to the World Conference is out of the question!

So Grandma Guluoliosa took the top, but:

Just look at the courteous royal family with smiling smiles around you, and you will know that Daughter Kingdom has no pressure to join the world government this year. And get a strong seat in no time!

After all, it is located in the Daughter Country in the windless belt. It is not only an important escort force in the "United Shipping", but also an important place to park and rest. On this "Sea Gold Road", I have never seen a man. The isolated island of China has suddenly become a major power in the world.

After the only navy that can shake the status of the daughter country also expressed its support, other countries are only envious and jealous...

"Hehe, it's Little Roman."

With Granny Guloriosa's age and friendship with the Straw Hats, she is the only one who dares to call out 'Little Roman' here. And after Roman introduced the three royal families to Daughter Country, an 'alliance' circle was formed quickly, making other countries salivate.

The profit of United Shipping is enough to start a war to destroy cities and countries!

Even if he had the navy's endorsement, he was snatched by Blackbeard, one of the "Four Emperors"...

—————

Just when Roman introduced the "goodwill" forces of the Straw Hats to help each other, there was a person quietly looking at his photo.

Luffy, Vivi, Blackbeard, Roman, Nami...

Leaning on the 'Void Throne', the tall woman in a robe looked at the photos in her hand and remained silent. Under the tall crown is a pair of indifferent eyes.

eight hundred years,

Are the 'you guys' finally here?

Unfortunately, with eight hundred years of accumulation, Yu is no longer at the same level as you. Worth mentioning——

Let you take a good look, who is worthy to be the 'King of the World'! After recognizing the reality, it is not impossible to rule the world with Yu Yitong. Hope this time:

Don't be ignorant of flattery!

—————

And in the hall of power, the "red-haired" Shanks in a black robe is sitting on the sofa, facing the "five old stars" who are at the apex of world power.

"Do you have anything to do with us?" "Because it's you, we made time."

"From your standpoint, you shouldn't meddle in politics.——Aren't you only pursuing 'freedom'?"

Obviously facing one of the 'Four Emperors', but Wu Laoxing looked like a peer, as if Shanks in front of him was originally one of them!

"Indeed, I am grateful for that,"

After Wu Laoxing waved his hand and made the guards retreat, Shanks revealed his purpose.

"I'm here today about a pirate."

·······

"black beard?"

"That's right! Everyone should know."

Shanks has enough reasons to persuade the five old men at the peak of power in front of him,

"The dark fruit can be ineffective, and even take away the abilities of other devil fruit users! It is definitely the most vicious devil fruit ability."

"It's a pity that Tiqi is very scheming. Before he became Shichibukai, he didn't reveal his fruit ability. After he became Shichibukai, he quickly gained a lot of combat power from the promotion city! At the same time, he captured the 'shocking fruit' ability to gain a firm foothold. Now it has become one of the 'Four Emperors'."

"We all know this, and we regret that we didn't discover these wolfish and ambitious people earlier, but—" Wu Laoxing, with long straight white hair and a long beard, put down the document in his hand.

"What does this have to do with you, Shanks."

"Of course it's because—"

The redhead raised his head, revealing three scars on his face.

"Once Blackbeard's strength continues to expand, he will threaten the 'king of heaven'! Then he will threaten that lord."

? !

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"You're saying that the eight-hundred-year-old 'god' of our Tianlong people would be afraid of a mere pirate!"

"There have been countless big pirates who have surpassed the entire great route, and they have challenged that 'adult' with confidence. If I don't need to say the result, right?"

··············

"I know, but because of that—"

Shanks stared at the five old men in front of him seriously, "The dark fruit is the only existence that can threaten the 'King of Heaven'. I think Blackbeard already knows this world-class secret!"

? !

"Perhaps you don't know yet, Blackbeard Teach is an archaeologist, and he is very interested in the story of 'Rox D. Gibeck'. After digging deep into the past of that crazy big pirate, Teach swears As long as he doesn't get the 'Dark Fruit', he is going to stay on Whitebeard's boat for the rest of his life as a nobody."

"However, 'fate' allowed him to obtain the 'Dark Fruit'. Since then, his ambition has been out of control, and then sprouted... No, it should be a long-planned plan:"

Shanks criss-crossed in front of him, sitting on the sofa and leaning forward slightly.

"Overthrow the rule of the Tianlong people!"

·······

"how come--!"

"Could it be that the 'Locus Pirates' will be resurrected again?"

"If this is the case, it is indeed the number one event affecting the survival of the world!"

After a few seconds of silence, the five old stars quickly exchanged opinions with each other. The pure dark fruit is not scary, the pure careerist is not scary, and even the simple archaeology doesn't matter. But when these three are combined, what is created is a big crisis that dares to peek at the eight hundred years of Tianlong people's rule!

"So, what are you telling us all about?"

Facing the rhetorical question of the old man with blonde hair and beard, Shanks calmly threw out his proposal.

"join hands,"

"Let'us' work together to replay the past of the 'God's Valley' battle and bury this 'dark sprout' in history again!"

"Very good, as expected of us..."

"Good offer,"

Wu Laoxing's complexion also softened,

"Tell me about your detailed plan, Shanks."

PS: No way, I can't imitate Oda's nagging and dragging the plot. So I made my own. ——Of course, it must be on a 'reasonable' basis.
