The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Boom!"

ah this

As soon as Roman entered, he saw Luffy beating the strong man.

"What's the origin of this kid?!"

"Sparta was killed..."

"Couldn't he have fallen himself?"

"How is it possible, people are sinking into the floor—"

Roman, who was dressed as a magician, was speechless. Before he registered, Luffy had already killed a star gladiator. As expected of the future One Piece, he is so cool wherever he goes. but:

"If you engage in a private fight before the game, you will be immediately disqualified from the game!"

"Hey hey?!"

The future One Piece was astonished for a second, causing Roman to sigh. ——That's why he has to wear a mask, otherwise he's afraid that he won't be able to control his expressions.

Clang!

A huge ax flew over and plunged into the stone between Luffy and the arena administrator.

"Idiot, open your eyes and take a good look."

Wearing a cape with a wavy collar on his naked upper body, with short brown hair and a tattoo of the number "13" on his left abdomen, a man (symbolizing the 13th generation of pillars) stood out holding a ring-decorated knife.

"The big man over there who provoked the incident just now, he should be disqualified!"

Also naked from the upper body, only wearing a green cloak. The right arm wears armor, the left arm has a skull-like tattoo, and the mouth is missing a few teeth. Two tomahawks on his back, - and a man stuck in a stone slab continued.

"Although that idiot has passed out."

Two brothers, Lao Cai and A Bu of the Eight Treasures Navy.

And behind them, tall (five meters) and strong, with "12" tattoos near the temples, (symbolizing the 12th generation pillar) hunchbacked elders with kind faces, of course, is the big pirate Qingjiao who once offered a reward of 500 million.

The x Baoshui Army are all official pirates affiliated to the Kingdom of Flowers in the West Sea.

The purpose of coming here this time is to seize the "burning fruit" on the surface, but secretly it is with the mission of the country of flowers: because the hostile country bought a large number of Mingge weapons, which led to the defeat of the country of flowers, they sent the three of them to destroy the land of flowers. Mingo's weapon factory.

A country can easily send 500 million big pirates to lead a team, and two deputies who are also worth hundreds of millions. ——So it is normal for other sea areas to look down on the East China Sea. After all, the East China Sea has already been capped at 30 million.

"Saved, thank you."

Faced with Luffy's thanks, Lao Cai said:

"There's no need to thank at all...what to say thank you...take back the thank you!!"

"Forget it, forget it, big brother."

Abu, who held the irascible Lao Cai from behind, tried to dissuade him while explaining to Luffy.

"Sorry, this guy loses control easily..."

···································································································································································​​ It can also be considered a talent.

OK, let me see the other 'familiar' faces. With Luffy's example, no one will provoke Roman dressed as a magician, anyway:

Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it will be known immediately after entering the ring!

"Hey, hey, isn't this a gladiatorial fight? Why did I see the king, the strategist, and the soldiers?"

Faced with the complaints of the tall and short killer Fan Ku brothers, Vasco da Gama, the military strategist of the kingdom of Prodence, smiled.

"Stop talking nonsense, you are also sent by your own country, right?"

"Compared to any weapon fortress, a country with 'burning fruit' is much more beneficial in both diplomacy and war!"

Therefore, many nearby countries will send their own strong men:

The A-class war criminal of the Tias naval battle, known as the "Owl Head" Sleiman, as a hero of the Tias naval battle, was exiled by his motherland as a war criminal. But: this man in a tall hat with a skull and ornate flying wings, and a long black coat is still willing to swing a sword for his country.

The bounty hunters Abdra and Jeter are the instigators of the "Government Bombing Incident". Likes to kill opponents with despicable means, and is employed by unknown forces. Looks, a standard villain face that can't be described in a word...

Orombus, the admiral of the "Yotamaria Grand Fleet", is a pioneering adventurer known as the "Killing Dominator". He was a tall, stern-looking man with his bare chest, and his weapon was a whip. There are more than 4,300 people under his command and a large fleet of 56 ships.

······

That's right, the cadres of the "Straw Hat Fleet" appeared one after another in the future. With the mask off, Roman glanced at them, and they were basically masters with hundreds of millions of strength! If it weren't for the nightmare of being almost enslaved by sugar for a lifetime, they would not have willingly joined Luffy.

Of course, Luffy's strength and charm are also crucial reasons.

Because there were too many people, the gladiators were divided into four groups for a big fight. Group A is where Badgers stands out, while Bartolomio is like a BUG in Area B, and of course Luffy wins in Area C, then:

"Well, let me think about it, what masters are there in District D?"

Roman habitually touched his chin... the mask. It seems that only the white horse Cavendish, the stinky fart king, is in the D area, and then... there is no more?

"Well, it seems that I can easily enter the final."

Even if Cavendish opened up the second personality: "Rommel's Weasel", Roman is confident that he will be able to win. ——No matter who you are fighting with, Roman doesn't have the option of deliberately failing.

However, Roman, who was talking to himself, did not expect that such a slight voice would still fall into the ears of those who cared.

It was a helmet in the style of an ancient Roman soldier, with a green cape and golden shoes. There are only a few simple pieces of armor covering the key positions, and the girl is slender. Unlike other gladiators who have both offensive and defensive swords and shields, she only holds a long sword.

Rebecca,

The granddaughter of the former King Riku, the daughter of the arena hero Cyrus and the princess Scarlet, is strictly speaking a princess.

this magician...

After seeing so many strong people, he can still speak wild words! Is there something to rely on, or is it a frog in a well?

Can't help Rebecca not paying attention, after all, the other party is different from other strong men who have been famous for a long time, the whole body is tightly wrapped, and it is better to say that he is a gentleman attending a masquerade ball than a gladiator. And the other party is actually in area D.

We must find out the details of this person!

"The contestants are as if they are not carrying equipment, they can choose the weapons and armor provided by the arena at will."

"Whoa whoa!!"

And Roman didn't notice the gaze behind him. On the one hand, the owner of the gaze did not have a 'killing intent' towards him; on the other hand, of course it was because:

"I really want Usopp and the others to see it~~"

Helmets, breastplates, shoulder armors, cloaks, skirts, boots, shields, swords! The fully armed Luffy looked at his outfit with satisfaction, and asked Roman next to him to raise his hand, and finally resisted the urge to rub his temples.

Are these rags and scraps of iron useful to you?

It's not that Roman underestimated it, but that these "excellent" equipment were nothing more than punched into small cakes in front of Luffy. ——Not as good as his supreme fast slippers!

You must know that the equipment of the strong has long been influenced by the domineering all the time, and it has become the same as the natural world, which is two things. The most famous "black knife" is "plated" by the great swordsmen with armed domineering.

"Hello, Lucy."

Roman, who rolled his eyes under the mask, walked over.

"Your equipment exceeds the standard, - the arena has regulations on the weight of weapons and armor."

"Oh, it's Luo...Ro..."

"My name is 'Neo', remember it!"

"Oh, it's Neo..."

"In short, you should ask the staff over there to see how much armor you can keep at most."

What a careless captain!

When Roman sighed, Rebecca in the crowd frowned. She could see with her own eyes that little Lucy easily killed the star gladiator Sparta in an instant, and it was such a strong man who obediently listened to the words of this mysterious magician...

"No wonder everyone wears so little. It turns out that they can't carry extra armor."

Leaving only a helmet and a cloak, Luffy came back grunting unhappily.

"This is a 'performance show', and what the audience is after is 'blood'."

A man wearing a cowboy hat with fluff embellishments, with golden curly hair covering the shoulders covering the bangs, handsome and dressed in aristocratic attire, a man holding a rose came over and opened his mouth elegantly.

Cavendish,

"The gladiatorial arena is a place to show the human desire for blood and violence. Who wants to watch a long and boring armored battle? Only the blood of the loser can arouse the cheers of the audience."

The elegant blond guy asked casually as he put the roses to his mouth, tore off the petals and chewed.

"I just saw you knock down that big man with one move, who are you?"

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.

Although Luffy just killed that Sparta casually, but it fell into the eyes of those who cared:

"Ah, my name is Luffy, and I'm the man who is going to be the One Piece!"

? !

Forget it, it's not worth getting angry! Roman, who was stroking his forehead with one hand, began to be in a daze as if nothing had happened. ——If you think about it carefully, no one will believe it anyway, right?

Sure enough, the next second, the gladiators who turned around suddenly saw the sign behind Luffy:

when!

A shield was thrown and hit Luffy on the back of the head.

"Isn't your name Lucy?!"

"Straighten your tongue and speak—"

"Scared me to death, I thought that 'straw hat' Luffy was here..."

"Impossible, I heard that Luffy is eight meters tall and has a waist circumference of eight meters! Every meal has meat for ten people!"

this,

The rumors at sea are also... Although the first half of the sentence is a bit different, the latter half of the sentence is very in line with the actual situation.

"Oh, yes."

Luffy nodded.

"I'm Lucy."

·····

"Hmph, if you were that Luffy, I'd kill you right now!"

The handsome gentleman began to introduce himself, "I am Cavendish who entered the New World with a bounty of 200 million three years ago, and I was given the nickname 'Your Pirate' in newspapers. Even the arrest warrants were snatched up by the women~~”

Just when Cavendish was recalling the "excellent years of the past", Roman was looking around boredly, using a simulated battle in his mind to see how many guys here could pick him up—? !

brush,

With a flick of the black cloak, Roman instantly changed from facing Luffy to turning his back on him! In the entire hall, only Cavendish's eyes flashed, and Qingjiao's snow-white eyebrows on the other side twitched.

"Are you OK?"

Holding the young gladiator behind him, Roman under the mask was surprised for a moment.

"I...I'm fine, just now... I accidentally slipped my foot."

? !

"Thanks, I can go by myself."

Helping the other party up, Roman under the mask had a black question mark on his face.

Isn't this Rebecca? Anyway, she is also a master known as the "Invincible Daughter" in the arena, and she is so proficient in knowledge and knowledge that she can even avoid Cavendish, who has a second personality. How could there be such a thing as sprained feet?

This unscientific!

Just as Roman was thinking about whether the other party was a "good friend" coming, Rebecca who had left suddenly leaned against the wall as soon as she turned around the corridor. A hand touched Guangjie's neck subconsciously.

So strong!

Originally, she was just going to take a close look at the other party, but the moment the magician turned around, not only did she not react, she even felt that a long sword had been wiped across her throat!

this enemy...

In an instant, Rebecca had a realization that she was definitely not his opponent!

but,

Can't cry! Rebecca, you can't admit defeat!

The girl gritted her teeth and tightly clenched the sword in her hand. Today is the last chance. ——Get the "burning fruit" and attack Doflamingo! This is the last chance for Dressrosa, mother, grandfather, Mr. Soldier...

Bless me!

The next second, the girl who had calmed down raised her head again, and returned to the preparation room as if nothing had happened.
