Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 24 The so-called betrayal

"Thank you, thank you so much."

After the meal, Ah Jin, who finally 'survived', burst into tears.

"Hey, chef! What's your name?"

Luffy, who jumped out of the window, stood beside the two of them carelessly.

"Be our partner, be the cook on our pirate ship!"

"My name is Sanji, the sous chef here."

"I'm not going to get on your boat."

However, with a cigarette in his mouth, he has blond hair, and his hair covers his left eye, revealing only his right eye and right eyebrow.The man in the shape of a waiter with raised eyebrows refused Luffy's invitation without hesitation.

"Because I have a reason to have to work here."

"I reject your rejection!"

······
"Hey, hey, listen to what people have to say..."

"What's the reason for that?"

"I will not tell you,"

"Didn't you tell me to listen to you carefully?"

"・・・ I'll beat you up!"

However, he was a man from the sea no matter what, and the three of them chatted after a while.When it comes to the sea, adventure, and dreams, they are all excited!Let the old man who quietly watched all this from the window on the third floor show a nostalgic smile.And in the restaurant:

"Luffy is gone again, won't he cause trouble again?"

Facing Nami's concern, Roman cut a slice of bread and put it in his mouth.

"No, my scout Zhihe is watching from outside, Luffy is trying to recruit a chef."

"That's good,"

Nami didn't seem to have any appetite and forced a smile.

"With Roman here, I believe the Straw Hat Pirates will be able to go on..."

"What are you talking about?"

Roman frowned, and Nami's strangeness surprised him.Could it be the girl's 'that' coming?Trying hard to recall the vague plot of ten years ago.However, what is more clear is the war on the top, the next brother Ming, the new world, etc., the plot of the East China Sea is too long...

and many more!I remember like-

"You actually left me and eat delicious food here!"

Luffy, who didn't know when he came back, sat down on Roman's table, pulled a plate and was ready to eat.

"I found a good chef, and I can invite him soon..."

Snapped!
However, Luffy, who was not even halfway through speaking, was twisted by the 'ruthless iron hand' behind him, and the chef named Sanji made an unhappy voice.

"Aren't you a waiter? What are you doing sitting here?"

"Also, I'm not going to be a pirate! Because..."

"Isn't this a good opportunity?"

An old voice came. It was the owner, chef, and captain of this restaurant: an old man with a broken foot.

"Go be a pirate,"

He looked at the blond with curly eyebrows, because of Sanji's chef.

"This store doesn't need you anymore!"

"What? Smelly old man..."

--------

clang,

"No... not good, it's Admiral Creek's pirate flag!"

In the 'sea restaurant', everyone is in a mess!If the comparison between the Golden Merry and the 'sea restaurant' is like a chicken next to a big goose, then the pirate ship that appears now is as huge as a hound!

"It's an exaggeration..."

Looking at the slowly approaching giant ship, Roman had to admit that the navigation of this world did point out a lot of black technology!This kind of creation like an ocean liner can actually be made of wood.but:
"Wait, why does it look tattered?"

"Could it have been a hurricane..."

"Then it goes without saying that it doesn't look like it was man-made, right?"

Such a giant ship like an 'aircraft carrier' at sea is now slowly docking beside the restaurant on the sea like a ghost ship.Just when everyone was surprised:
bang,
The door was pushed open, and the man named Akin went back and forth.But this time, he also supported a tall man:

"Ahhhhhh~~!!!"

"'Admiral' Creek?"

"We're dead-"

From the exclamations of passers-by, Roman and others easily knew the identity of the person who came.but:
"Looks like this Captain Crick is out of luck."

Not only was it unlucky, the huge ship outside was in tatters, and Crick, the captain, was also half-dead.

Roman made a visual inspection. The other party was about [-] meters tall, with light purple hair and a headscarf tied around his head.Wearing a loose shirt with silhouettes of weapons and armor under the shirt, black boots, and a large cloak.

"very scary····"

As the saying goes 'a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse'!No matter how downhearted, the two-meter-five 'little giant' still brings a wild impact to everyone in the restaurant, such as:

"I...I'm going to the bathroom..."

Nami stepped back quietly with a look of fear on her face.

------

"...Excuse me...can I...give me some rice and water..."

The tall captain, who looked like he was running out of oil, leaned on A Jin next to him to support him, and begged weakly.

"I have money...as much as I can..."

········
"Hahahaha~~"

The sturdy chef who was still scared just now laughed wildly. Seeing that the pirates who dominated the entire East China Sea were so weak, what was there to be afraid of?

"Food and water? Don't even think about it, call the Navy!"

"Isn't that lieutenant nearby? The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune is just around the corner, and he will definitely not let it go."

"and many more,"

Akin, who was supporting Crick, shouted anxiously.

"We are guests! This time we have money, ten or a hundred times!"

"Hmph, and then continue to burn, kill and loot after you have recovered?"

The burly chef took out a kitchen knife with disdain, a 1.5-meter-long murder weapon!
"People like you will definitely attack our restaurant after eating. Don't even think of a drop of water—"

Snapped,
The tall pirate leader knelt on his knees, his body was thrown to the ground, and his head was directly on the floor!Humble prayers echoed in the dining room.

"... please... just any leftovers will do,"

"We will obediently leave after we eat, please..."

"captain!"

"Don't do this, you don't have to do this!"

Seeing that his captain was so servile, A Jin next to him was so excited that he shed tears.

- is a wolf extermination.

Roman watched the play calmly. When these 'characters' appeared in front of him, his long-standing memory gradually recovered, and the images in his mind gradually corresponded to the real characters.

Crick, a pirate who has been in the position of overlord of the East China Sea for a long time.

Arrogant, ungrateful, ruthless, even his own subordinates can live or die, a person who is disgusting from beginning to end.He believes that he is invincible in the world, and is arrogant, ruthless, and mean.but:
Roman didn't hate him.

At least as a 'pirate', he really did what a 'pirate' should do!

Conspiracy, ruthless, servile, indomitable...

It wasn't anyone who encountered the world's top fighter 'Eagle Eye' when he first entered the great route, and was killed by him at random. More than 50 warships and nearly [-] men were wiped out!There are still those who have the courage to continue to challenge the great route.

Whether it is the frog in the well or the arrogance.

This perseverance, at least Roman admires.

but--

Bang!
"Step aside."

He kicked the sturdy cook who was blocking his way and flew aside, and a man named Sanji put food and water in front of Akin.

"Give it to your captain."

"thanks, thanks····"

Seeing the man named Crick gulping down the food, the other chefs were anxious!
"Sanji, are you crazy!"

"For this man named Crick, betrayal is as normal as drinking water..."

"He will never leave obediently after eating, he will definitely—"

Bang! !

In fact, it doesn't take long.

Just after swallowing the last mouthful of food, Crick stood up abruptly and smashed his 'savior' Sanji into the air with one punch!

"Huh, come back to life."

For the 'digestive system' of the world's powerhouses, Roman has long since wanted to complain.but:
"Nice restaurant, I want this ship!"

Could this betrayal come too soon?
------

On the other side, on the Merry.

"Yo, Nami-san, are you back?"

Joseph and Johnny who stayed behind the ship looked at Nami who jumped on the deck and asked in confusion.

"What about the other big brothers?—That's the Creek Pirates, right? Shall we get away quickly..."

"They are watching over there, let me come over and set the anchor first!"

Nami instructed two third-rate pirate hunters to lift the anchor and turn around, while swiftly probing around on the deck, collecting all the inconspicuous paper cranes. ——These are Roman's creations, usually a normal paper crane, but if necessary, they can immediately become Roman's 'eyes'.

puff,
The matches crossed, the jumping flames fell on the paper cranes, and the roaring flames devoured these little things!

"Nami-san, next..."

"You stand on the bow, and I want to change."

Facing Nami pulling up her clothes, although Joseph and Johnny couldn't figure out why the 'big brother' was changing clothes now, they turned around instinctively, and the result——

push!
thump, thump,
"Goodbye."

The Golden Merry, which had anchored and set sail, turned around vigorously, slid into the water and galloped away to the side!

"This this·····??"

"Go and inform the other big brothers!"

------

"I can easily get away while they're there watching a play."

"Hahaha, what a great harvest~~"

On the distant Golden Merry, a girl named Nami turned the rudder, and this sea area would not go wrong for her with her eyes closed.

"I didn't expect Roman's ship to have so much money~~"

"More than 3000 million Baileys, a lot of money!"

"The goal of [-] million has been achieved," the girl raised her head and smiled.

"You should be happy, Nami." With a smile, liquid slid down her face.

"sorry······"

"I'm sorry, Roman, Luffy, Zoro..."

And Usopp who just joined, you are not a liar, I am!

The girl lowered her head, bit her lip tightly, and let the ticking crystals fall on the deck.

"The next time you meet, you'll betray me, who stole your boat, stole your money, and betrayed your trust..."

"As a partner?"
