The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

cake island,

"Is that so...I see."

After hanging up the phone bug in his hand, Tiqi stroked his proud black beard. ——It was meticulously braided into four small braids, which is his current personal symbol.

"What the hell are the Straw Hats thinking?"

Relying on strong boats and guns to show off their power, they bombarded an island of their own first...

Lafitte straightened his top hat thoughtfully. Although the other party's actions were in line with the behavior pattern of 'ordinary' pirates, as the newly promoted four emperors who have defeated countless strongmen along the way, how dare the members of the Blackbeard Pirates Treat the other party as a normal pirate?

Where they don't know, the Straw Hats must be planning some conspiracy!

"Whatever he is doing, let's go out in one wave! Take the opponent's ship first, and see what tricks they can play! Meow~~"

This kind of person who can mix the snarling of a macho and the cuteness of a cat at the same time is of course only the "evil government" Abaro Pizarro. Although one of his hands was broken in the battle against Charlotte Katakuri, his prestige in the Blackbeard fleet has not diminished but increased. after all:

Compared with those guys who paddled together and even Katakuri dared not face him, Pizarro's performance was much more impressive!

After the victory, Tichi assigned him the jurisdiction of more islands than others, which is the best proof.

Sometimes, appropriate "recklessness" is also a manifestation of wisdom.

"Ahem... No, fate has reached the most critical intersection. If we can break through the obstacles, we will be able to open the sea and the sky; if we fall here, we will be lost forever..."

The gasping "Reaper" who was about to die at any time made the poisonous Q stick-like speech that made the "Xuanyue Hunter" Katrin Diemei next to her roll her eyes.

"Nonsense, if we lose, of course we will never recover, but if we win, it may not be easy... Don't forget that the name of the 'god' of the Tianlong people who is invincible for eight hundred years is not just blown out."

As prisoners on the sixth floor of Push City who must be erased from history, all of them are vicious big pirates with all-hands and eyes. Exchange information with each other in their spare time and have already had a clear understanding of the 'god' behind the Tianlong people, otherwise the mere generals would not be able to frighten these powerful guys.

"Thief hahaha~~ Don't worry!"

Tiqi, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his palm, and the black smoke rising from it seemed to be able to swallow everything! The other cadres sitting on both sides subconsciously assumed a humble posture. after all:

The current Blackbeard Pirates are all capable members! Although the combat power has been greatly improved, in front of the "dark fruit" that can nullify all abilities, the person who dares to be arrogant in front of Blackbeard is not stubborn, but lacks a root in his head.

Especially after Blackbeard Titch got the "Soul Soul Fruit" recently... It made these powerful people with high eyesight have to give in:

My boss is the strongest man in the world!

Of course, this is also the reason why they are willing to "do a big job" with Tiqi. Otherwise, aren't they stupid, wouldn't they be sure to follow Blackbeard to death?

"What do you think, Anne?"

None of the cadres present was named 'Anne', so when Blackbeard asked:

"If possible, I would like to resolve the issue through negotiation."

Behind Tiki, a black-haired girl came out.

She was wearing an elegant dress, with long black hair hanging behind her. It looks gentle and weak, compared with the five big and three thick big pirates in the hall, with an average start of three meters, they are like little white rabbits that have broken into the beast's den. but:

"Negotiations, with all due respect. Miss Anne," Lafitte replied solemnly, "the odds are too low."

"The intersection of fate is just around the corner, and the conflict is inevitable~~"

This is another "Otokoshi" Van Oka who also talks about his fate every day. After finding out that long-range sniping is useless against the Straw Hats, he rushed back to the headquarters in Cake Island without hesitation. Because of this, it was not affected by the Sunshine Melly's destruction of the island.

"Even if our admiral doesn't care about Ralph Drew's so-called great secret treasure, the title of One Piece King will never be handed over to others!"

Shilio, who was smoking a cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke. As the number two member of the Blackbeard's fleet, he wasn't very afraid of this girl named 'Anne', even if she was—

Tiki's sister!

Marshall D. Anne is the name of this petite and gentle black long straight girl.

"Hey, why can't everyone sit down and have a good talk?"

The girl sighed, even though she said so, she is not a village girl who knows nothing about the world, nor is she an innocent princess, on the contrary, her "experience" is definitely among the top group of people in this world.

"Thief hahaha~~ If negotiations are useful in this world, why do you need swords? Annie, you go and rest first. ——We will have a big battle soon!"

"····Ok,"

The girl nodded, and walked behind Blackbeard, then:

In a flash of ripples, the girl 'submerged' directly into Blackbeard's huge body, as if Tiki ate the 'castle fruit'.

"Straw hat boy, just come! No matter what kind of opponent you face, 'we' are the strongest!"

"This world will finally usher in true freedom, thief hahahaha~~~"

————

At the same time, in an unmanned corridor in the cake tower:

"Be careful, we have stepped into the base camp of the Blackbeard Pirates..."

The air was 'pushed open' out of thin air like a door, and before Roman's reminder was finished, a figure jumped out of the air door.

"Hee hee hee~~ I'm suffocated to death!"

·······

If it weren't for Luffy, you are the captain, this infiltration mission would never bring you here!

The helpless Roman also stepped out of the air, followed by Sanji, Brin, Robin, Chopper, Brooke, and Jinbe. That's right, except for Nami and Zoro on the Sunshine Melly, everyone else is a puppet made by Roman to confuse the public.

Franky, Usopp: Boatmen have no human rights? ?

"In short, our first priority is to save people, Luffy, don't make trouble..."

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to ask the way~~"

"you?!"

Before Roman could stop him, Luffy left in a flash, allowing Roman to successfully accumulate half a tube of anger before the battle!

This is the lair of Blackbeard Teach! God knows how many 'Homiz' that guy made after he got the Soul Soul Fruit? Maybe the whole cake tower is covered with his eyeliner, and he and others have been exposed——

"what--"

A short exclamation stopped abruptly, and then:

"I found a guide, hehehe~~"

Luffy has already galloped back with a teary-eyed girl, and she still has a bit of a 'pirate' demeanor of kidnapping someone. only:

"Are you sure you're arresting ordinary people, don't bring back that strong man, Catherine Diemei... the strong woman?"

While complaining, Roman's eyes fell on the girl who was held by Luffy by the back of the neck and curled up like a kitten: a plain dress, short black curly hair, a shivering appearance that was endearing, and her hands were still tight He was holding a mop, and he didn't know whether it was a weapon or a servant's conduct.

Either strong, or ordinary people.

Roman's 'knowledge-colored domineering' has the ability to see through. With a glance, the opponent's musculature and bones can be clearly seen, the real 'explicit' to the extreme! This girl's physical strength is estimated to be able to overthrow a few gangsters in the four seas, but she is a standard "delicate girl" in the great route.

So:

Before the girl with tears rolling in her eyes was stared at by Roman's aggressive gaze, Roman had already stretched out her hand to Jinbe next to her, and Jinbe, who knew it well, took it out from the large sleeve of the toga:

click,

He clasped the Hailoushi handcuffs on the girl's wrists. The handcuffs used by normal prisoners can be used as armbands on the girl's slender arms. but:

Not a capable person?

Facing the dazed girl who didn't appear to be losing strength, Roman frowned again.

Shouldn't it be, with Luffy's 'luck', he can casually catch an ordinary person? At least it is an important 'NPC' that can promote the development of the incident...

"Roman, what are you doing here?"

Facing the obviously unhappy Luffy, Roman calmly threw the Kairoishi handcuffs to Jinbe next to him. With Roman's cautious character, how could it be possible not to prepare some of this 'tool' that can detect capable people the fastest?

If most of the Straw Hats didn't like it, Roman would even wish to equip all non-capable people with Hailoushi bullets!

"Roman, although caution is necessary, is it too much for a little girl?"

Even Robin was a little bit dissatisfied, and the girl in front of her seemed almost fainted from fright. After all, the Straw Hats are fully armed: the tall shark-man with a scarred face, the equally tall human-shaped muscular reindeer Chopper, Sanji in a black masked combat uniform that looks like the villain BOSS, and...

"Master Brin?!"

The black curly-haired girl's eyes fell on Brin, and her panic suddenly turned into surprise.

"Huh? You know me..."

Although as a user with the ability of "memory fruit", it is obvious that Brin has not yet reached the point of having a photographic memory, and obviously cannot remember who this excited maid is.

"I'm Liya who lives at '64 Sugar Street'! My father works as a clerk under Lord Nozette, and I've seen you several times—"

Although the girl desperately said that she had met Brin a few times to increase her persuasiveness, it was the scene where she and a group of people admired Brin and other Charlotte family cadres, and it was impossible for Brin Noticed an ordinary girl in the crowd beside the street...

"It's very simple, use your memory fruit ability to check this little girl—"

"Roman, that's enough!!"

Facing Luffy who was really angry, Roman calmly changed his mind.

"That's it, let's ask Miss Liya what she knows..."

········

"Luffy, it's for the good of everyone that Roman is so cautious."

While Roman began to interrogate...ahem, asking about the girl's information, Robin turned to comfort the angry Luffy.

"After all, this is the base camp of the enemy,"

"Hmph, I just want to help, Roman just underestimates me!"

Luffy, who was so angry that his mouth could hang an oil pot, tilted his head like a child.

"Not only underestimated my vision, but also underestimated my strength. Even if there is an emergency, can I still not be able to react?"

This is a fact, after all, Luffy is very proficient in using "Future Foretelling" now, even if the girl suddenly tore open the explosive rock under the clothes that is about to explode, it is impossible to hurt everyone in the Straw Hats with Luffy.

"Be cautious—"

"Look, this time I made a meritorious service! Hehehe~~"

Luffy had already turned his head and looked at Roman who was walking with a smile on his face, causing Roman to roll his eyes.

"Please don't use 'Future Sight' in this kind of place, it will make other people think we are playing some kind of Riddler game."

"In short, this Miss Liya does have a certain understanding of the place where the Charlotte family is being held."

As expected of Luffy who is always lucky, just grabbing a servant is the key 'NPC'!

From the maid, Roman learned that a section of the corridor often had stains such as 'blood stains', and there was a smell of a lot of food passing by. There is no doubt that there is a major suspicion!

And Roman's knowledgeable color can "see through" everything, but it's still the old saying, this is the base camp of Blackbeard Tiki now, there are two-color domineering masters all over the floor, one sees through... It's okay for me to say, If you accidentally see the cadre, the other party will also be alert immediately!

At that time, the "Unparalleled Infiltration" will be staged.

And as Luffy's "old enemy", Blackbeard Tiki, Roman believes that he is not the target that the current Straw Hats can push. So it is still necessary to rescue the people of Charlotte's family as planned, and then join forces with the navy...

Therefore, Roman, who was thinking seriously, didn't notice the slightly raised corners of the black curly-haired girl leading the way ahead.
