Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 3 The Straw Hat debuts, and the style of painting changes

blue sky, white clouds

A merchant ship drifts in the wind at sea, with neither aim nor direction.

The whole ship was empty, not even a sailor, as if it was the legendary 'ghost ship'.until:
boom,
A wooden barrel that also drifted with the tide slammed into the side of the merchant ship, and Yingying heard a sentence from the barrel:
"Huh? Hit a ship—"

"Great!"

boom!
The wooden barrel was smashed open by a fist, and a figure with a straw hat stretched out his upper body excitedly from inside.

"Sleep is really comfortable~"

"So,"

call out--

The boy's arms suddenly stretched out, grabbed directly on the side of the ship like a rubber band, and then pulled hard!
Snapped!
The whole person jumped onto the merchant ship, and the boy in the straw hat laughed.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous, I thought I would be swept into the sea by the whirlpool~~"

"My Journey to One Piece is almost..."

creak,

The door on the deck of the merchant ship opened, and Roman stepped out, looking at the 'invader' in front of him with cold eyes.

It was a young man with short black hair, looking a little messy, and there was a knife scar under his left eye.

Wearing a red waistcoat and blue half-leg jeans.Wear straw sandals. ——Of course, the most striking thing is wearing a straw hat and a confident smile on his face.

This dress? !
Roman's eyes flickered for a while, but he soon calmed down.

Monkey D Luffy.

The Son of Destiny in this world, the person with the ability of the rubber fruit, said 'I am the man who wants to be the pirate king':

fool!

What are pirates?
It is robbery, it is unearned, it is reckless, it is the scum of the scum, and it is the wicked party of the wicked party...  
"Hello--"

Seeing Roman walked out, the straw hat boy smiled and waved.

"10 Baileys."

???

For a moment, the other party's smile solidified on his face, as if a row of black question marks appeared above the straw hat.

"Boat fare,"

Roman continued to speak calmly.

"10 Bailey, three meals a day, accommodation is provided, and extra money is added for more than half a month."

"Ah...ah...this..."

The straw hat boy's entire face collapsed instantly, and it took a long time before he could say a word.

"I have no money·····"

"No money?"

Roman glanced at the boy who exuded a 'poor and sour' breath, a straw hat, a waistcoat, a pair of five-point jeans, a pair of slippers...

He didn't even have a pocket all over his body, he just had to write 'one poor and two white' on his face.

"I'm sorry, please go back where you came from."

The protagonist is the most annoying...

"No, bro~"

The straw hat boy was so shocked that his chin was dragged to his chest (physically), "I can't swim, I just broke the wooden barrel..."

····You told me this is the future One Piece? !

"Sorry, this is my boat."

"You must pay the boat fee when you take the boat. You don't understand this principle, do you?"

"I...I can work part-time to pay back, I can eat...No, I'm very diligent..."

The straw hat boy suddenly crossed his fists and palms with a 'thinking of a good idea' expression.

"By the way, come and be my partner!"

"As long as you become a partner, you don't have to pay for the boat~~~ Hahaha, I'm so smart~~"

? ? ? ?
This time, it's Roman's turn full of black question marks, you darn, this is preparing a white wolf with empty gloves, right?right!

"I reject!"

Facing Roman's unhesitating answer, the boy in the straw hat opposite looked shocked to the point of 'how could it be', "Wait a minute, don't you think about it again?"

"By the way, my name is Luffy."

"It's the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

Facing the smiling straw hat boy... No, Luffy.Roman lowered his head and sneered.

"Pirates?"

"That's great."

slam-la-

He opened his arms, and sheets of 'paper' flew out of the palm of his hand, and then quickly turned into:

A sailor's knife, a shield!
"Since it's a pirate, then 'pay the bill' in the way of a pirate."

Roman squinted at the boy named Luffy on the opposite side, with the shield in front and the long sword hidden behind him!

"Kill me, this ship is—"

"Wow! It's so cool~~~"

However, in the face of Roman who was posing, Luffy just ran over carelessly, surrounded the paper knife and paper shield in his hands for a while, and even touched it—

Bang!
"Are you underestimating me?"

An icy murderous aura spread from Roman's body. It was him who smashed the opponent onto the deck with a shield just now, and even the opponent's precious straw hat fell to the side.

"Wow, it hurts~"

"Why do I feel pain—"

"Hey, hey? It's actually bleeding... How did you do it?"

Facing Luffy who was sitting on the ground with blood on his face, but only wondered why he was injured, Roman stepped forward.

"I have no reason to explain my methods to you, so—"

brush,
The snow-white sailor's knife pointed to the other's face, and Roman looked down at the other with icy eyes.

"stand up!"

"Defeat me, this ship is yours."

"If you lose, you are ready to take the springboard."

Facing the paper knife so close at hand, and facing the merciless Roman, the young man on the floor just sat casually on the deck and looked at the corner of each other's eyes seriously.

"I won't fight you."

"Then you are going to go into the sea to feed the fish?"

"I won't die here either."

"Wait until you defeat me-"

"I won't fight you."

···········
Bang!
The white shield in his hand hit the bridge of the opponent's nose fiercely, smashing the boy's entire head into the deck!At the same time, Roman directly stepped forward and suppressed the opponent under him.

"Fight and don't fight, roll and don't roll!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I·····"

Falling into the floor, Luffy raised his head with blood on his face and looked directly at Roman, whose face was full of anger.

"I said, I want you to be my partner."

"partner·····"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Roman, who suppressed the other party under him, laughed, so wildly - tears burst out.

"And then my ship becomes yours?"

"My life has become your life?"

"You still think I'm stupid!"

Facing Roman's question, the boy named Luffy just answered again seriously.

"I want you to be my partner."

"Hey, listen to someone-"

Bang!
Once again, a shield smashed on the opponent's face, and while Luffy's entire head was smashed, it brought out a puddle of blood!

"Why should I be your partner? Don't talk to yourself—"

Bang!
Another shield.

"Aren't you going to fight back?"

Bang!
Blood splattered.

"Partner? Let me tell you the truth. - I'm a paper man who ate a paper devil fruit!"

"My devil fruit was obtained by killing my captain. You still want me to be your partner-"

"That's right!"

Luffy's voice was still as firm as ever amidst the puddles of blood mixed with the broken deck.

"I want you to be my partner."

Crazy...Idiot...
Obviously it was a guy who was pressed and beaten by himself, but the upper body of Roman, who had been killed for a long time, unconsciously leaned back.Then:
Outraged!
incomprehensible-

clap,

The shield and sailor's knife in his hand were rapidly deformed and combined into a sharp decapitation knife, which was aimed at the neck of the young man under him!
"I know you're a devil fruit power user, you're rubber, right—"

"Don't underestimate the paper in my hand, its hardness is not inferior to that of steel at all, just go down with a knife..."

However, in the face of Roman's threat, the bloody boy turned his head to look at him, and his eyes were still not shaken.

"You won't kill me,"

"I want you to be my partner."

hemp egg——

"Are you a repeater, ah!"

"Kill you!!"

The sailor knife in his hand was raised high, and then suddenly fell——

puff!
--------

"Humph,"

Roman turned the rudder, allowing the merchant ship to make a long appearance in the calm sea.

"This kind of naive guy deserves to die."

On the deck behind him, there was only a crack and blood, and the boy named Luffy:

has disappeared.

"Do you think you can survive in this sea just by 'gutness', what an idiot--"

Bang!
The door of the cabin was suddenly opened, and a boy with a head wrapped like a zongzi came out shouting.

"Roman, I'm so hungry~~~"

"Why is the meat in the warehouse so frozen? I can't bite it~~~"

········
"You took apart the freezer I made?!"

"I'm starving to death..."

Faced with a face of grievance... God knows this guy can make an expression of 'grievance' with a 'treatment tape' wrapped around his head? ?
"Okay, okay."

"You come and take the helm, and I'll cook. - By the way, restore the refrigerator..."

"Roman, I won't be at the helm."

???

Roman sucked in a breath of cold air, and his numb scalp made gold stars appear in front of him!
"Then what are you talking about, what do you know?!"

Facing Roman who gritted his teeth, Luffy answered without hesitation.

"I'll be the Pirate King!"

········
"Come on, stand here—"

Like a punctured balloon, Roman taught Luffy to hold the rudder in his hand, and then warned him.

"Just keep this position and don't let the boat run around."

"I'm going to cook, - don't desert me!"

Roman, who walked over to the cabin in the opposite direction, shook his head helplessly.

"Really..."

"Looks like I'm just a fool..."

What insidious and ruthless pirates are you talking about... In the end, I didn't become someone else's 'crew'...

never mind,

People who are not in the middle of nowhere are juveniles.

Roman can only comfort himself like this, but if there is a mirror.

The corners of his raised mouth had something to say.
