The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Roman,"

Luffy, who was back on the Sunshine Merry, came excitedly to find him.

"I heard that you are recording the abilities of your partners? How about it, my rubber fruit—"

Speaking of that, Luffy stretched out his arm, with a fearless posture of "you can let go of your blood", which made Roman give him a blank look.

"How do you develop your rubber fruit and make balloons?"

Snapped,

"I'm just a useless rubber man, I'm so sorry~~"

Luffy knelt down in despair.

"Come on, everyone bring me three pieces of 'blood bottle paper'." Roman didn't bother to pay attention to Luffy who is playing tricks. His "superhuman body" has the same ability as animals, and it is the most tasteless to Roman. ability.

Ninety-nine percent of the abilities that can only be used on himself are doomed to be useless to Roman. After all, Roman's "paper fruit" itself covers the physique of the paper human body, and the unfamiliar ability to change the physique is simply useless to him. The loss outweighs the gain.

Luffy's rubber fruit can't make rubber, not even balloons!

·····Speaking of which, it can be made into something like a 'body armor'. It's a pity——if this world doesn't even have confidence in one's own body, then it's really useless.

Communication, therapy, what else is needed?

While Roman was preparing for everyone's subsequent 'practice', Luffy's signature voice could be faintly heard:

"Rubber-gun!"

?

"Ah, it's just a sea beast."

Facing the huge sea beast that was punched by Luffy and was as huge as the Sunshine Merry, Usopp looked calm. After all, after having seen many monsters hundreds or hundreds of times bigger than this one:

Hey, once the sea was too difficult for water~~

puff,

Two 'things', one big and one small, were spit out by the sea beast and fell to the deck.

"What is that? Fish..."

"No, I look like a human..."

"Could it be... a mermaid??" In an instant, Sanji's eyes flew out and turned into a heart shape, and he flew up into the air and hugged the falling mermaid girl. on the seat, then:

The whole person is spinning at high speed like a top into the shape of noodles.

"Mermaids! Mermaids are the longing of all human beings, and they are treasures in the sea. I finally saw a mermaid~~~"

? !

Roman glanced at the mermaid girl who was rescued. Indeed, even the mermaid Cammy, who was a bit dumbfounded, had an upper-middle appearance among humans. In addition, the fishtail on the upper and lower body poked the XP of many men. yes--

a tragedy.

where is this place?

This is the second intersection point between the Red Earth Continent and the Great Route, and it is the base camp of the Tianlong people, and the holy land of Mary Joa is located in it! And the mermaid... or the fishman island is located in the sea 10,000 meters below the holy land, as the last stop in the first half of the great route:

The Chambord Islands not far away take advantage of the advantages of "relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water". Slavery is prevalent, and it specializes in the business of Tianlong people. after all:

Although the Tianlong people are cruel, they are also notoriously rich and brainless.

It can be summed up like this: stupid people, rich money, come quickly!

Mermaids with no strength but good looks are of course the best 'cargo'. Even male murlocs have become sought after high-quality slaves because of all kinds of strange things...

This is why Aaron hates humans so much:

Most of the murlocs would quietly swim to the surface of the water to peek at the prosperous Chambord Islands when they were young, longing for dreamy human creations;

But when they grow up, what they face are the fishing nets, knives and guns of the slave catchers, as well as the disappearing partners and relatives one by one.

Under such extreme contrast, a murloc like Aaron was born.

So like Roman once said, he doesn't hate murlocs.

But he hated the cowards who dared not take revenge on the slave hunters and the Draconians, but vented their impotent rage on ordinary people.

···········

"I always thought I was human,"

There was also a huge starfish that was rescued with the mermaid girl Kemi—he is now explaining to Luffy with his hands on his hips.

"But by the time I realized I was a starfish, I had already learned human language."

This world is really weird.

In Roman's view, this starfish named 'Papagu' is probably something that came out of a laboratory, or it is the product of a human soul attached to a starfish, but this starfish who is going to be a fashion designer is not important , the important thing is:

"By the way, I invite you to eat takoyaki."

"I have a buddy 'Xiao Hachi' and his takoyaki is absolutely delicious—"

The mermaid girl Kami took out a phone bug from the shell backpack on her back, and waited for it to connect:

"Ahem, Kemi, don't come here!"

"Hahaha, you want to save him, don't you? Then come! This is the headquarters of the 'Flying Fish Knights', 5,000 meters east of No. 44 Chambord. I'll give you half an hour, or we'll sell him."

This is the true face of the sea: if you are not careful, you will be eaten by sea beasts, and if you are not careful, you will be caught by the slave team...

"Wooooow, little eight!"

Facing the crying murloc girl, Luffy immediately grasped the key point.

"Who is Xiaoba?"

"It's the owner of the takoyaki shop I work part-time, sorry Luffy, I'm going to save—"

"This is a big deal, let's save Takoyaki!"

·······

"The one we want to save is the owner of the takoyaki shop," Nami rubbed her forehead, "but when it comes to Xiaoba..." The naive six-armed octopus that used to belong to Aaron in her hometown came to her mind.

"I hope I'm overthinking~~"

"Then we set off for Chambord 44—"

Alright, soon it will be the Chambord Islands. Roman was thinking aimlessly while following Nami's command, or the mermaid girl Kemi turned the rudder in the direction obtained by 'asking' the fish.

For the sake of everyone in the Straw Hats, it's best to 'hang up' to make soy sauce during this period, and wait for Big Bear to send people away...

wait a minute!

Roman steered the steering wheel with one hand and touched his chin with the other.

Where will Big Bear send himself?

You must know that big bears are very particular about shooting people: Luffy was sent to the daughter country, and the empress was convinced; Sauron was sent to Kraigana Island, where he was taken care of by Perona and learned from Hawkeye;

Nami flew to Xiaokong Island, just to study the weather of the sky; Usopp fell to the Boing Islands and obtained a large number of combat plants; Chopper landed in the South China Sea-Dorino Kingdom, just to show his medical skills; Get Vegapunk's Lab...

Robin flew to the kingdom on the Donghai Bridge and encountered the uprising of the revolutionary army; Brook landed on Namakra Island and conquered the local area with singing. Only Sanji...was sent to... Shemale Island, it was sad to hear and shed tears when he saw it!

Others are sent to places where they can improve their combat effectiveness, but Sanji fell into the 'hell'. After thinking about it, Romance can only attribute it to the fact that Big Bear saw through Sanji's identity as the third prince of the Vinsmoke family and sent him to suffer...

Otherwise, in the past two years, other people's combat power has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have a bunch of new skills that are tyrannical and cool! Only Sanji only has one more 'Moon Step', and a 'Sea Pork Hormone Soup' that can quickly restore physical strength.

Now that Roman is here, even the soup is saved. —— Serious people take drugs in battle, who eats slowly to recover blood?

And to be honest, in his previous life, Roman didn't remember that the Straw Hats ever drank soup to restore their blood...

I don't know if Sanji forgot or the materials are missing?

Well, that's it~~

Anyway, Roman has a lot of recorded devil fruit abilities, and he is not afraid of big bears shooting people. The big deal is that when the time comes, just find a place to develop fruits and exercise with peace of mind——

"Be careful, everyone, it's the Flying Fish Knights!"

Cammy's reminder brought Roman back from his thoughts, and in front of the Straw Hats, a group of people gliding with huge flying fish rushed towards them with murderous aura!

After all, the Air Force is a big hooligan, returning after dropping the bomb.

As a naval battle ship, under normal circumstances, there is no way to fight against the air...

It's just that the Straw Hats are not 'ordinary' pirates, and Roman is a good air fighter——

clatter,

The flying paper quickly formed a "fighter plane" roaring towards each other, in the daze of those flying fish knights who were still in the era of "throwing bombs by hand":

Da da da da da!

"Hey, hey, Roman! Don't destroy them all, leave one for me to play with!"

"And me, and me!"

"I also want--"

Are you really here to play?

Even though he thought so, the 'bullets' fired by Roman's fighter plane were all non-lethal blunt weapons, and it was enough to knock down the opponent's knight. After all, strictly speaking, these are 'friendly troops' for a while...

And it's not bad to keep the flying fish for Luffy and the others to play with.
