The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Wait, I'm going to be the One Piece!"

"Hey! Don't heat up the scene, just run away on your own!"

Facing Luffy and Zoro who were both punching and raising their knives, Roman, who put away the huge shield like a city wall, rubbed his wrists.

"Please, our main problem now is not fighting, right? There are still several companions that have not been found~~"

"Yes,"

Luffy came back to his senses, turned his head and pointed at Roman.

"Roman, use your invincible paper fruit to find other people!"

······

Snapped,

As soon as Roman clapped his hands, the surging paper formed a huge paper airplane and appeared on the ruined Murloc Island Square.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

"what about me,"

The civet cat that was abandoned by the Red Earl lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Hey... what should I do from now on?"

"Then what do you want to do yourself?"

Facing Luffy's question, Padong raised his head with a pitiful expression.

brush,

"Think slowly if you can't figure it out,"

Lifting the civet cat, Robin hugged Padong and smiled slightly.

"Until then, you can stay with us for a while."

"Yes, little Padong is so cute~~"

Looking at the little tanuki who was teased by Nami and Robin, Roman touched his chin.

Sure enough, little furry animals are attractive to women... Wait! Even if it's a man——Roman glanced at the cute Garrot next to him, and nodded nonchalantly to the question mark on Rabbit Mother's face.

As long as it is cute, someone will like it.

—————

"Why, in the end you still followed us~~"

Faced with Usopp's heartless words, the little civet cat was not angry:

"What 'how'! Didn't I get abandoned by the boss because I spoke for you?"

"Yes, yes, then get down from Robin's chest first!"

Franky couldn't stand it anymore, and Roman raised his eyelids in a rare way. What's the difference between you, a big man of steel, and a civet cat? Those who didn’t know thought you were possessed by Sanji...

"Little Padong, what is the relationship between you and 'Boss'?"

Facing Robin who was helping him pluck his hair, the little civet cat replied without any thought:

"A long time ago, I went to sea with the boss~~"

"Later, I don't know who locked me in a dark and narrow place..."

"I don't know how long it took, but the boss rescued me. We started to be pirates together again!"

Thinking back to the happy times of the two of them in the past, the little civet cat stood up excitedly, but when he thought of the decision that was abandoned by the boss just now——

"How about, little Padong be our partner."

Garrett stroked the poor civet cat, and Pedro next to him sighed.

"Garrot, have you forgotten that the captain of this ship is Luffy?"

"Hey, hey?"

isn't it me? That's all right!

"What to do depends on his own wishes."

Facing Luffy's words, the little civet cat had a tangled face. It stands to reason that he has been abandoned by the "boss", even if he joins the Straw Hats, there is no problem. but····

Whoosh—

"here is?"

As the huge paper airplane sailed out of the range of the 'Murloc Island', the surrounding scenery suddenly changed from a colorful seabed to a white and icy land of ice and snow! In the thick wind and snow, there are also huge towering columns.

"It's Drum Island, which means—"

"It's Chopper's hometown! Hahaha, let Chopper treat my wound later."

Usopp, who was lying dead, sat up happily again,

"What a blizzard, I smell adventure!!"

"Roman, turn on the plane and let me go down—" Go, go, anyway, there are no 'masters' in the Drum Kingdom. No matter how strong Walpo is, he can't be the opponent of anyone in the current Straw Hats.

"Hee hee hee~~~"

As Roman opened the 'cabin', Luffy leaped out with a rapidly falling laugh. When the strength reaches a certain level, the so-called 'dangerous moves' become pure play. And even with running:

"I'm going ahead!"

Using the rubber fruit to continuously eject at high speed, Luffy running below is even faster than the paper airplane in the sky, and leaps towards the largest huge column first. Fortunately, there are not many people who can't sit still like Lu Fei, otherwise Roman will have a headache again.

Although the Red Earl should not be in the mood to play the "True and False Straw Hats" again, but as a staff member, it is professional ethics to think about defeat before thinking about victory, and be careful about accidents. Sure enough, ten seconds later:

! ?

"What's wrong, Roman?"

"Luffy encountered 'trouble' there,"

"Walpo?"

Nami looked strange. With the current strength of the Straw Hats, no one would be under any pressure to kill Walpo solo.

"Do not,"

Roman looked up at the largest column not far away, even without the help of a white dove, he could still see the darkness rising into the sky!

"this is····"

Others also noticed the building on the column and the ominous atmosphere in front of the palace.

"It's Blackbeard Teach!"

—————

"You...don't come here!!"

Walpo, who was easily defeated by Chopper in the heads-up, was lying on the ground in a 'girly retreat' look, because behind him was a mouth missing a few teeth. A middle-aged man with a rough appearance, dark skin, and a burly figure.

He is wearing a captain's coat, with rings on his fingers, two large gold chains around his neck, thick hair on his open chest, and three flintlock guns in his belt! At first glance, it looks like a wild 'Pirate Captain'.

"Thief hahahaha~~!!!"

"I still want to say who it is, it turned out to be the garbage king who ran away with his tail between his legs at that time!"

"No...whatever!"

"Come on! Someone come save me!"

Facing Blackbeard, even if both sides are clones created by the Red Earl, there are some things that will not change: that is their respective personalities.

"As long as he saves me, I will give him status and medals!"

"Even if it's half of the country—"

"Shut up, trash!"

With Blackbeard stepping down, the pitch-black "dark fruit" instantly nullified Walpo's ability, and the strength between the two...

Bang~~

With one foot, Walpo disappeared into smoke, and even the leaves were trampled by Blackbeard. Then he raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him:

Chopper and Luffy.

"The obtrusive person disappeared, long time no see! The straw hat—"

"Ah, Teach!"

Facing Luffy with a serious face, Blackbeard opened his arms.

"At that time, I also secretly saw Ace who was punched through the chest in order to protect the glory of 'Dad', which really made people cry."

"You bastard—!"

In a word, successfully provoked Luffy's anger!

"It's nothing to worry about, Ace was doomed to die from the start, and you're going to live. — that's all, you have nothing to regret, right?"

Although Blackbeard's words are not pleasing to the ear, but... the battle on the top is a situation where Ace must die! This is related to the face and rule of the navy and the world government. Even if the four emperors gather together, it is impossible to rescue him, because that will only allow the world government next door to join the battlefield, and even...

Even Im would be alarmed.

"I have nothing to say to you! Chopper, back off."

Facing Luffy who was in a fighting stance, Blackbeard Tiki's hands emitted black smoke while shining white light.

"Really, I wanted to do my best to comfort you politely. Since you want to die so much——"

"I'll let you sleep next to your brother right now!"

As Blackbeard Tiki issued a declaration of battle, Luffy stopped talking nonsense with him, and directly said:

"Four gears!!"

—————

When Roman and others came over, what they saw was Luffy fighting Blackbeard in the fourth gear... Well, in fact, the scene was already Luffy fighting Blackbeard! After all, Luffy, who possesses high-level armed domineering and "future-foreseeing" knowledge-like domineering at the same time, and then opened the fourth gear, is already the first person under the general.

On the other hand, Blackbeard, although he is also very strong. But it's obviously the 'two years ago' version. Even if the double fruit is in the body, it will be too hurt without domineering. The defense depends on the dark fruit, and the attack depends on the shaking fruit, but it can barely fight with Luffy.

"Dark water!"

Following the black beard Tiqichao's palms, a dark, deep, and extremely viscous light emerged, and finally seized the opportunity to clasp Luffy's fist with five fingers in another fight! The pitch-black light immediately formed two bottomless black vortexes that were like glue and lacquer, and instantly suppressed Luffy's rubber fruit! but:

"Woo - get out of here!!"

With the sound of "boom", it suddenly broke out. The surging armed domineering and blazing black lightning suddenly exploded on Lu Fei's fist! It instantly let him get rid of the restraint of Blackbeard, and stabilized the state of fourth gear that was almost exited.

"Empty shock!"

He punched Luffy flying out of breath, and Blackbeard looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Thief hahahaha, very good use of domineering!"

"Unfortunately, this is destined to be my era!"

"Just drag until—"

······

Pop, X3

As several figures descended, the arrogance on Blackbeard's face suddenly froze!

Roman, Zoro, Jinbe! Two of the three people are not capable, and they don't eat the weakening of the dark fruit at all, but Roman:

"To deal with this guy, you should use long-range attacks. Watch me fly to the sky and release my sword energy to easily torture him with blood!"

"Thieves hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...if I had the domineering aura..."

"Stop talking nonsense, a crooked way like yours, everyone can get it and punish you!"

Roman is not a reckless man in this world who waved his fist regardless of whether his ability was suitable for fighting or not. Create a dense long sword with various abilities directly behind him, and wave forward like a certain "street lamp king"!

"You don't need to talk about pirate morals with him, let's go together—"

"Paper Dance Three Sighs Sword Bone!"

boom boom boom~~

The shadows of fists are all over the sky, the flying swords are shooting, the swords are shining vertically and horizontally, and the water column is surging. Everyone present is not only the top in this world, but also the masters of the second echelon! Every shot is earth-shattering, and the resulting huge explosion can't stop sweeping wildly in all directions, endlessly! Destroy the top of this giant pillar once again.

Of course, the poor Blackbeard didn't even have a chance to complain, and he didn't last for half a minute:

Bang~~

Was blown up on the spot!

"Hmph, is this what the so-called 'Four Emperors' are capable of?"

The cold hum from the roof made everyone look up, it was the Red Earl standing on the roof. And the little civet cat Padong was also ready to speak in surprise:

"old·······"

However, the other party has already turned around with the 'Pa Dong' on his shoulder, swiping——

disappeared without a trace.

·····

"Luffy,"

The little civet cat who was abandoned again turned his head pitifully.

"Hey... can I still be your partner?"

"I've thought about it, although until now I still hope to be able to help the boss. But..."

"If my avatar can do all this, I think maybe it's not bad... Liliu! So, I can be your partner..."

Facing the little raccoon with a forced smile, Luffy pressed the straw hat.

"I reject!"

? !

"Why? Didn't you say that everything is up to me!"

This time, Luffy turned around directly.

"I won't accept you as a partner."

Facing Luffy's resolute words, Nami couldn't stand it anymore.

"Wait, Luffy..."

Snapped,

Nami, who wanted to say something, was grabbed by Roman, and when she turned her head, Roman shook her head slightly.

"One civet cat is enough,"

Facing Sauron's words, Chopper next to him was furious.

"I'm not a civet cat!!"

But... why?

Chopper frowned, obviously he refused to join the Straw Hats at that time, but Luffy still stalked. Now facing Pa Dong who took the initiative to join...

"Padong,"

Chopper walked over and patted the shoulder of the civet cat who was about to cry.

"Don't worry, as long as you really want to be our partner, Luffy will definitely agree."

"...Do you really want to be a partner..."

"Roman?"

"This is the key point. We don't have muddy partners on board." Facing Nami's doubts, Roman replied in a low voice. In his heart, Padong still misses his boss, Earl Red, even now that he has been explicitly abandoned.

That's why Luffy won't agree to him joining the gang, because Luffy never 'robs' other people's companions!

"By the way, why are you called Padong?"

As a doctor, Chopper began to use 'talk therapy' to divert the civet cat's emotions.

"The boss helped me obtain it, and I don't know the meaning of it..."

"My name was given to me by Dr. Shiruluk, which means that I hope I have a pair of horns that can easily cut down trees..."

With the conversation between the two little animals, Padong's mood gradually stabilized.

And the Straw Hats once again embarked on the road of gathering companions!
