The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hahaha, the people in that store are really interesting."

There is no malice, the appearance of those guests running away in embarrassment just now is purely 'interesting' to Luffy.

"...something is wrong..."

But Kebi doesn't have Luffy's mentality of being a 'strong man'. He looked around nervously and quickly analyzed the situation.

"It's understandable for people to be afraid when they hear Sauron's name. Why do they hear Colonel Monka—"

"It's very simple,"

Roman on the other side gave the answer directly.

"This shows: Compared with the so-called 'pirate hunter', the colonel at the naval base scares people more."

"No...impossible..."

Ha ha,

Facing Keby, who was carrying the 'Navy Dream', Roman just raised his chin not far away.

"Whether it is true or not, don't you know for yourself by seeing it with your own eyes?"

At the end of the road is a magnificent naval base. Towering walls, dense forts, and flying naval flags...

All of them give people a feeling of 'strong and powerful'! only:

"As expected of a military center, let alone buildings around, there are not even pedestrians."

Roman sighed casually, not knowing whether it was the truth or sarcasm. As the three came to the closed gate of the base:

"Go ahead, Kirby."

Luffy pressed the straw hat and pointed to the naval base in front of him.

"me······"

"I'm going to see what kind of person Sauron is~~"

Regardless of the entangled Koby, Luffy took off and leaned on the wall, looking at the center of the vast square of the naval base.

"Huh? Is that the guy—"

In the middle of the Navy Square, a person is tied to a cross-shaped wooden frame!

It was a man wearing a dark green turban, with short green hair exposed under the turban, three drop-shaped golden earrings on his left ear, a white T-shirt on his upper body, a green belly wrap around his waist, and dark green trousers. Wear black boots.

Of course, the most striking thing is his eyes!

Sharp as a knife, wild as a beast! Just by looking at it, you will have the illusion of being 'torn apart'!

very strong.

Roman, who used paper to make a 'ladder' under his feet, squinted his eyes. The opponent's strength was almost on par with his 'former' captain who sank into the sea with the 'Ride the Wind and Waves'!

However, Sauron in this period probably hasn't mastered 'Iron Cutting' yet...

Sauron should have the upper hand in terms of physical fitness, but in terms of swordsmanship, he is not as good as the captain who can burst out the ability of 'cutting iron'.

I watched anime many years ago, and I traveled through several years. To be honest, in addition to the main "Four Emperors", "Qiwuhai" and the protagonist group, Roman's memory of One Piece has already become blurred.

"Hey, you guys."

The man who was tied to the wooden stake raised his head, even though he was deeply imprisoned, he still did not lose his vigor.

"Come here and help me untie the rope."

"I will repay you, - I can give you all the money for catching wanted pirates in the future..."

"interesting,"

Roman folded his hands and tilted his head to look at Luffy lying on the wall.

"Luffy, what do you think?"

"The rope looks like it's easy to break free..."

"Hey, Luffy, you're focusing on the wrong thing!" Kebi anxiously stopped, afraid that the two "lawless" guys next to him would release the "criminal" in the square with a slap on the head.

"If you let him go, the people in this town, you and I will all be killed—"

"No, he can't kill me."

Luffy, who has always been acting silly, smiled confidently, "I am also very strong."

··········

Snapped,

While the three were 'watching a play', a ladder was set up next to them, and then a little girl gave the three of them a hard look, 'warned' them to keep quiet, and quickly climbed over the wall Jump into the naval base.

"Big brother, I made rice balls for you..."

"You are looking for death, brat, get out!"

"This is my first time doing..."

"Don't understand? I tell you to get lost—"

—————

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's wrong to bully children, Roronoa Zoro."

Following a frivolous voice, a guy who only had 'Second Generation Ancestor' written on his face walked out of the naval base with duck steps, followed by two naval soldiers.

"Be careful I told my dad."

"Tch, I will only rely on my father's trash..."

"What is this, rice balls for the navy?" The second generation ancestor grabbed the little girl's rice balls and took a bite, then:

"Bah, bah, what's in the rice balls? Sugar—what kind of ghost food..."

"Be careful I told my dad!"

After throwing the rice ball on the ground and stomping on it, the second generation ancestor ordered the little girl to be thrown out. Then he left angrily. He didn't even comment on the three 'spectators' on the fence, making Roman secretly think about whether this guy is also an interstellar player...

Remember when this guy seemed to turn his back on him? And also wore a blindfold.

I'm afraid I'm not really blind...

"Thank you big brother,"

"It's okay," Roman waved his hand, and patted the little girl who was thrown out of the fence and caught by him. "Go home, it's dangerous here."

Naval bases are dangerous  …

Kebi next to him hesitated to speak, stopped moving forward, was in a dilemma, difficult...

—————

"Hey, you're still here... aren't you afraid that the second generation ancestor will tell his father?"

At the same time, Luffy has jumped into the naval base, standing in front of the man tied to the stake.

"Not afraid."

For the stubborn Luffy, what about Colonel Monka, what kind of naval base... Can you eat it——

"I'm looking for a companion to go to sea with me to be a pirate."

Pirates? What a self-defeating guy...

"Hey, help pick up that rice ball—"

"Are you going to eat this, it's full of mud..."

Facing Luffy's disgust, the man named Zoro just opened his mouth.

"It's so noisy!"

"Give me—"

click, click, swallow

"Send me a word for that little girl," the man in the turban bowed his head, "The rice balls are delicious, thank you."

———————

"Hey, your captain has gone."

The same square, the same man tied to the stake.

But this time, it was Roman standing in front of him.

"What are you doing here, pirate!"

"Well, I was wondering."

Roman rubbed his smooth chin with one hand thoughtfully.

"How many days have you been tied here?"

"Nine days, what's the matter—"

"you,"

Roman's eyes fell on Sauron's lower third, making him feel uncomfortable.

"It won't be full of shit and urine in the pants now..."

? ? ?

"I killed you! I killed you!!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited.—Don't blame me if you can't help it."

Roman waved his hand,

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"I think you like Luffy very much, so he will definitely come back and pull you on board in a while, then:"

With a wave of his hand, Roman made a paper 'chair' and sat down on the spot.

"I'll just wait here for a while."

—————

"hello."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Luffy to go back and forth, which made Sauron's eyes twinkle when he was tied to the stake.

"If you want to persuade me to be a pirate—" "I'll help you untie the rope, you can be my companion."

"Listen to people..."

"I don't care, I have decided to let you be my partner."

"Don't make up your own mind!!"

"By the way, I heard that you are a very powerful swordsman, what about the sword?"

Luffy changed the subject in a second, making Zoro who was tied up a little bit unable to react.

"It was taken away, it was second only to my life—"

"very good,"

Lu Fei clashed his fists and palms, looking like he'd thought of a good idea again.

"I'll get your knife, and you'll be my partner!"

"You... are too despicable!"

It's a pity that after Luffy left a sentence, "Don't move around here, I'll go back when I go", he has already rushed to the naval base.

"This... is this guy an idiot..."

"Hahahahaha~~"

Roman, who was watching the show all the time, stood up with a smile and waved his hand. The 'chair' on the ground disintegrated into pieces of paper and fell into his hand, and then turned into a sailor knife.

"How about it, have you seen how difficult that guy is?"

Roman twisted the paper knife in his hand, "Don't think about it, the guy who is attracted by Luffy, in the end, the only way to go is to obediently get on the boat."

"Are you human traffickers?"

"And, what's there to be proud of—"

Facing the furious Sauron, Roman just shrugged while suppressing a smile.

"No, I'm just happy to see someone end up in the same 'end' as me~~~"

"That's all."
