Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 18

West Lob Village,

On the seaside hillside.

"Good... what a big ship..."

"Look, those guys are so vicious..."

"Could it be a pirate? What should I do, Captain Usopp—"

Dubbed 'Captain Usopp' by the three children, it was a hooded boy with fluffy black hair and a long nose.He looked at the huge merchant ship below, and his whole body was crawling back in stiffness.

"It suddenly occurred to me that it was nap time,"

"I have a disease of 'I will die if I don't take a nap'..."

"Captain Usopp, cheer up!"

"How can you be afraid of mere pirates..."

"Who is there?"

As a cold and murderous voice came, the three children who were peeping at the top of the slope turned around and ran away, leaving behind:

"Hey, hey, you guys—"

There is no way, so far:
"You pirates, this is my Captain Usopp's territory!"

This young man with a long nose stood up, facing the four slowly approaching Roman, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. He pointed his thumb at himself and threatened loudly.

"Hurry up and go back to the sea for me, or my 8000 million subordinates won't stand by!"

········
"Tsk, there is such a small dirt slope behind you, how can you hide 8000 million subordinates! - Castle fruit?" Roman rubbed his temples, thinking that such a person would also be a 'companion' in the future, he felt heartbroken. so tired.

Thinking about it carefully, the really reliable crew member should be... Robin?
Usopp's move is similar to 'With a single order, eight hundred axemen are thrown from behind the screen'~~
"I was... Seen through...?"

It's a ghost if you can't see it!
brush,

"We are pirates."

The figure flickered, and a cold voice sounded behind Usopp.The arm lightly placed on his shoulder made half of his body go numb!
"If you don't agree, you'll fall to the ground—"

Roman's fingers gently slid across Usopp's neck, instantly making the young man sweat all over his body, his legs shaking at high speed as if he had eaten a 'rubber band fruit'!but:
Snapped,
A pair of hands firmly grasped Roman's wrist, and the voice of the boy named Usopp was trembling.

"I...I will never let...you step into the village..."

"interesting,"

Roman swiped his finger on the other's neck along the skin and dubbed it at the same time.

"puff!"

"Ah~~~~"

···········
"Roman, he passed out."

"Bright eyes, foaming at the mouth... No way..."

------

In the restaurant of Xirob Village,

"What, so you are recruiting partners and looking for ships."

After changing a pair of pants, Usopp, who was full of blood, sold himself to Luffy, Zoro and Nami with great enthusiasm.

"If anyone in this town can have an extra 'boat', it's only the Keya family. She is the daughter of the town's daughter. She owns a mansion, many properties, and a dozen servants."

"It's a pity that my parents passed away a year ago, no matter how rich..."

"do not talk."

Usopp's words were interrupted by Nami, but he didn't care and returned to the original topic again.

"Well, if you want to recruit people, I can too~~" He pointed at himself confidently, "I can be your captain!"

"Don't!" X3
"Think about it!"

"Hahaha~~~"

"What are you laughing at?" The annoyed Usopp looked at Roman who had stunned him, "Do you think I'm timid..."

"No," Roman shook his head and said seriously.

"You are brave,—I apologize to you for what happened just now."

?

"If it were me, facing a powerful enemy that was absolutely invincible by myself, I would have already run away without a trace, how could I have stopped in front."

Moreover, even after the boy named Usopp passed out, he still held his wrist firmly... In all fairness, Roman admitted that he did not have such a 'determination'.

"Hmph, even if you say that, I won't be happy~~"

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)
·······
Are you possessed by Chopper? !
"Right, it's time."

Looking at the clock on the wall, the boy with the long nose stood up. "You eat first, I have something to do~"

--------

Not long after the boy named Usopp left, the three children came over.

From their mouths, Roman and others also knew that the long-nosed boy was going to 'tell a story' to the girl who lost her parents, Keya... Well, 'bragging' to relieve depression, so:
"Very good, then let's go to the eldest lady's house to borrow a boat!"

Luffy, who was full and full, stood up and announced loudly.

"Sorry, my mate..." Roman, who paid at the counter, pointed in the direction of his temple, with a 'you know' expression, which made the boss smile awkwardly and politely.

However, the four who had finished eating finally came to a mansion. After breaking into the other party's courtyard without authorization, what appeared in front of them was:

A scene where a boy named Usopp is being scolded by a bespectacled housekeeper!
wow, this-

In front of Roman and the others, there is almost a bloody 'The Asura War God's Son-in-law's Humiliation':
How noble is my young lady, even you deserve it?
Take the money, get out!
30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don’t bully the young and poor~~
This Xi Luobu Village, don't wait!

Reverse, reverse, the son of a mere pirate—

If you walk out of this mansion today, there will be no place for you in Xi Luobu Village...

It's about like this.At this time, if a group of pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions jumped out and shouted: 'Welcome the son of the four emperors to come out! '

That would be more perfect...
"Roman, what are you laughing at?"

"Cough," Roman shook his head, "I think of happy things."

Well, although the content is similar, it is not so 'rough and brainless'.The bespectacled butler only said a few words, and he teased Usopp and beat him in anger. ——This time, his image in the heart of the owner of the mansion: Miss Keya immediately dropped sharply.

Immediately after a few more words, Usopp was forced to leave behind a harsh word of 'never come here again' and left in anger.

As for Luffy's 'borrowing a boat', of course it doesn't matter.

------

"Hey, Usopp."

The group walked out... well, after being 'expelled' from the mansion behind.Luffy asked the long-nosed boy beside him.

"You really don't see that girl named...Kaya?"

"Hmph, if the housekeeper apologizes to me, it's not that I can't forgive him." After all, he still couldn't let go of the weak and sick girl.

"Hehe, then you may be disappointed."

Behind him, Roman suddenly spoke, and with just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn.

"Because that Miss Keya has a short life."

"What did you say!?"

Turning around suddenly, Usopp, who was trembling all over, stared at Roman!Even if he knew that he had no resistance in front of this person, but:

"Although Keya is sick, she will definitely get better! Take back your curse! Otherwise—"

Even Nami on the side frowned, but it was Luffy:

"Roman, have you found something we don't know?"

He chose to believe Roman Reigns for the first time.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Miss Keya's illness. It's the housekeeper just now—"

"It's called 'Gurahano' or something?"

Roman opened his hand, and an ancient yellow wanted notice 'emerged' out of his palm. While Usopp was startled, the character above made him suddenly widen his eyes!
"This...this is..."

"Hey, isn't this the Mr. Butler from just now?"

"Right,"

Facing the surprised Nami, the thoughtful Zoro, and the question mark Luffy.Roman raised the wanted warrant in Yang's hand.

"'Hundred Strategies' Klo, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates."

"Many tricks, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, a town that once massacred thousands of people..."

"It is rumored that he was arrested and executed by the Navy three years ago. But, I happen to know: This guy is just a fake death to escape."

Roman tilted his head in the direction of the mansion he just walked out of, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect him to be living in seclusion in this place. In just two years, he won the trust of the people around him, and then he 'killed' the main family. Next, he only needs to let that Miss Keya 'die of illness'. Then he While you can get a lot of wealth, you can spend the rest of your life in peace. Wonderful~~~"

Although Roman can't remember the plot or something, but pirates, aren't they just for taking the blame?
Anyway, the other party is indeed trying to seize the property of that Miss Keya.

"What... what..."

"Could it be that Koya's parents were—"

"What evidence do you have?"

Facing Usopp, who was instantly sweating, Roman pouted.

"evidence?"

"Little brother, did you misunderstand there?"

"I'm a pirate, not a navy! What do I want evidence for—"

Roman stepped forward and shoved the wanted warrant in his hands into the panicked hands of Usopp.

"In the end, that lady named Keya is not related to me, let alone a vicious pirate lying in ambush beside me. Even if she dies immediately in front of me, what does it have to do with me?"

"The reason I brought this up was because I felt—"

Roman lowered his head and whispered a few words in Usopp's ear.

"It's just fun."
