The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Mr. Tezolo..."

"I'm fine,"

Sitting in a messy hall where Roman had already left, Tezolo waved the three cadres who were about to come in to retreat, but the next second:

"wait,"

Facing these three subordinates who have always been loyal to him, even the Golden Emperor, who treats everything as a tool, can't help feeling an inexplicable emotion.

"If... If I want to do something that must die, are you still willing to follow me?"

If it was the former Tezolo, he would never give others the power to choose. Whether it's deceit or control, he will never let any of his subordinates escape his grasp. but:

‘If you still remember the words of the person you once loved, then don’t let her feel sorry for you in another world. '

Stella, if you were still alive, there wouldn't be any 'Golden Emperor' in this world, right?

If you see me now, will you be disappointed...

"Hahaha, boss. Is there a fight coming?"

Wearing an open-chested jacket, black military trousers, wearing a flowered turban, and chewing gum, Daisy, who looked like a tough guy, bumped his fists nonchalantly! Make a metallic clang.

"I can't wait to have a good time!"

This strong man is not only a domineering master of armed color, but he also has a special physique, that is, instead of feeling pain after being attacked, he will feel 'happiness' instead. ——Scientifically speaking, when he is attacked, the body will secrete dopamine to produce excitement and happy emotions. Unless he is killed in one move, he will be a stronger and stronger Shaking M.

"I don't think I'm going to lose. I'm very lucky."

The wine-red curly-haired beauty Bacala has one arm on her hip. As long as she accumulates enough 'luck', she will be spotless even if she stands in the center of a battlefield with thousands of troops.

"Fufuhu, if the boss loses, I will take you away as soon as possible."

Mr. Tanaka, who looks like a treacherous villain with a huge head, is very straightforward.

"Hahahaha, you guys!"

Facing the answers from the three strange subordinates, Tezolo burst out laughing.

That's right, what storms and waves haven't I seen in the past ten years? Even the crisis of dying is commonplace. Before, there was no hope at all, but now... Although it is still close to death, it is better than seeing a glimmer of light, right?

If there's anything that moves Tezolo's dreams more than 'Gold' and 'Big Star', it's without a doubt:

Revenge on the Celestial Dragons! !

"Little ones—"

"In!" X3

Facing his three loyal subordinates who knelt on one knee, the Golden Emperor sat on the sofa with a golden knife, his hands propped in front of his body, and the corners of his mouth were cracked while leaning forward slightly, revealing his white teeth.

"The show is about to begin."

—————

"Huh? Cooperation, I don't want it!"

"Luffy, don't refuse so quickly..."

When Roman found Luffy and the others, he saw Keby with a sore face explaining something to Luffy, and Belumeb, whose equipment was getting more and more closed, leaned bored under the streetlight next to him.

A navy captain's windbreaker is rarely worn on the body, not simply draped behind the back, with a round soft hat, and sunglasses covering the eyes...

"Belumeb, those who know say you are a navy, but those who don't know think you are some shameless spy."

In the face of Roman's complaints, the former playboy and now the new navy star Bellumebo sighed helplessly.

"Please, this is a normal navy attire for me! On the contrary, you... Ahem, other admirals don't even have a good coat."

"Ro...ahem, Mr. Neo, the staff officer of the Straw Hats—"

"Okay, okay!"

They are all old acquaintances in Donghai, and Roman is not like these two guys who have developed a second time. After going from Donghai to the Navy Headquarters, it is an exaggeration to say that they have been reborn. I am afraid that even their own mothers dare not recognize each other. Roman's body and appearance have basically not changed, so:

"You can just call me Roman, it's true... you are not embarrassed, I am embarrassed."

"So, what the hell are you two guys doing here?"

Sauron looked at the two 'old men' of the East China Sea unhappily. Apart from Luffy and Roman, only Zoro has dealt with these two guys in the Straw Hats. Although I had a face-to-face meeting when I was talking about the capital of seven waters, I didn't even communicate with the other members of the Straw Hats, Kobe and Bellumebo, and I didn't even introduce myself. after all:

"Aren't you two in the navy? What 'cooperate' with the pirates, are you not afraid of being sent to the court?"

Facing him with a cold face, Sauron actually did it for their own good. Kirby scratched his pink hair and smiled wryly.

"We don't want to, but this time..."

"This time, we are following orders."

Bellumebo, who wrapped himself up tightly with a hat, sunglasses, and scarf, shrugged helplessly.

"The meaning above is to let us join hands with you to eradicate the Blackbeard Pirates. As for how this ridiculous proposal was passed... Anyway, I can't imagine that Marshal Akainu can nod in agreement."

"Akainu..."

Because of Ace's resurrection, the Straw Hats' dislike for the so-called "absolute justice" soldier has been reduced. But they also knew that they could fight Whitebeard on the top of the battle and 'kill' Ace's Akainu. It's hard to believe that this kind of...

"It's not Marshal Akainu, this order was actually issued by the commander-in-chief of the world government's army, Your Excellency Sora."

In the cold voice, the tall Gion walked over with a helpless Nami, and Robin and Brin with weird faces also came over.

"With the help of some 'enthusiasts', the navy will smash the arrogant and domineering Blackbeard Pirates, and restore peace to the sea. This is the report after that—"

"I don't care if I report or not!"

Luffy looked angrily at Gion who was wearing an admiral's coat.

"Whether or not to fight Blackbeard and when to fight is my business. But it is absolutely impossible to join hands with your navy!"

"Don't you want to know who is leading the team this time?"

Facing Momotu Gion's unhurried question, Luffy frowned.

"I don't care who he is—"

"It's alternate general 'White Dove' Roman."

? !

"Hey, is it Roman?"

Facing Luffy who suddenly turned his head 180 degrees to look at him, Roman felt that the mask on his face was about to be melted by the high temperature.

Don't get me wrong, it's pure anger!

"What do you see me doing? I'm Neo! Is your brain full of tofu, and you can't even remember your companion's 'name'??"

"Oh oh oh... that's right! Neo, that's right..."

Turning his head forward, Luffy clenched his fists and gave a fake cough.

"That's right, we don't have any Romans on board, only Neo... So, it doesn't matter who leads the team and us... Ahem."

? ? ?

Do you dare to lie a little more!

Faced with Luffy's flaws... No, it's just an acting skill that is trying to cover up, and the group of people around are sweating and can't complain. Roman was so embarrassed that his toes were about to pull out a naval headquarters on the ground.

Hey, expecting Luffy to have acting skills is better than not telling him.

I regret it~~

"What are you doing here... Navy?!"

At this moment when even the air was full of embarrassment, Sanji, who had disappeared for a while, walked over from nowhere, and the smell of smoke wafted all the way.

"I said, although I shouldn't ask about your hobbies, Sanji, you smoke too much, don't you?"

This was simply the smell that had just emerged from a pile of cigarette butts, and it already made Chopper, who had the most sensitive sense of smell, start circling in circles.

"...I'm sorry, but this... Is this a 'cosplay' here?"

Sanji's eyes fell on Gion irresistibly, on the one hand, the other party was a beautiful woman. on the other hand:

This beautiful woman with a good smile is obviously not imposing, but it gives Sanji a very dangerous feeling in the dark!

"No, I'm a real navy."

?

"Although it's a bit late, please allow me to introduce myself first: Naval Admiral 'Momotu' Gion."

? !

"Hey, am I hallucinating from smoking too much?"

Facing Sanji, who didn't know what to say, Roman waved to him, and a whirlwind swept away the strong smell of tobacco on the opponent's body. Then:

"This is indeed an alternate admiral of the navy, but there is nothing to make a fuss about. This is a 'neutral place' recognized by the world government, even if you see the admiral of the navy hugging from left to right..."

The scene of Akainu with a bitter and bitter face "hugging left and right" appeared in his mind, and Roman shuddered to change the subject:

"By the way, Sanji, where did you go, looking preoccupied?"

"That's right, Sanji, where are you performing and smoking five cigarettes at the same time? You also hold the cigarettes in your mouth?"

"Is it possible to drink juice at the same time? It's amazing~~"

"Hey, don't make random settings for me, how could human beings do such a thing?"

Facing Luffy and Chopper with glowing eyes, Sanji didn't know how to complain. But such an interruption——

"Sorry, I was indeed thinking about some issues just now. But..."

"Hahahaha, this is really a nice place."

Amidst a burst of wretched laughter, the uncle in a khaki suit, an admiral's coat, and a khaki hat walked towards this side hugging left and right, making Roman frowned.

"Tea Dolphin" Jiaji is also one of the alternate admirals of the navy. Despite his wretched appearance, he actually has a very high reputation among ordinary people. Like Fujitora, he belongs to the high-level navy who considers civilians.

By the way, his personal relationship with Fujitora is very good. certainly:

"Miss Gion, you have arrived."

Let go of the two dancers who were acting on the scene, and waved away the eyeliner of the two Tezuolos, the face of the visitor was serious! While everyone in the Straw Hats was secretly on guard, they began to charge:

Such a strong momentum!

"On this beautiful day, Miss Gion, will you marry me?"

Ignoring the imminent straw hat group, the visitor directly slid on one knee and stopped in front of Gion. This level of control is just right.

Alternate Admiral of the Navy, well-deserved reputation!

"I reject!"

"Hahaha, what a pity, the one hundred and first confession failed~~"

Facing the disgusted Gion, Kake stood up with a big smile, stepped on the clogs and stood in a splayed posture, bent forward and leaned forward, looking even more tall than a second-class disabled wretched.

? !

Are there no normal people in your navy?

Facing the gazes of everyone in the Straw Hats, Roman slapped the mask on his face to the ground.

And pretending to be a hammer!

"I'm so stupid to expect you guys to keep a secret...Forget it, let's talk in another place——Sanji, aren't you worrying about how to help Brin?"

"Hey...why are you...?"

Apart from Brin's relationship, what could make you smoke like this alone?

And no matter how good Brin is at acting, how can she completely hide her inner anxiety in front of a group of high-level, knowledgeable and domineering people?

"Luffy, Sanji wants to help Brin rescue the captured Charlotte family members, and teaming up with the Navy is the easiest way to achieve it, you see—"

"I agreed."

Just now, Luffy, who refused to cooperate with "I just want to die, jump off this golden ship", pressed his straw hat and smiled.

"Since we are companions, there is nothing we can do."
