Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 33 Inhumane Physical Carnival Celebration
'Severe burns all over the body, broken ribs and arms, multiple internal bleeding... It's a miracle to be alive...'

'The good news is that the toxins in his body are being slowly excreted by himself...'

'Who dealt with the injuries you encountered before? '

Facing the old and unfamiliar voice, a group of familiar voices rang in my ears.

"Romain." X4
···········
"Well, it looks like you need to recruit a ship doctor..."

------

A soft 'thing' stroked his cheek, causing Roman to slowly open his eyes.

"you're awake?"

In the voice of surprise, the hazy colors in front of Roman's eyes began to gather, turning into a familiar face.

"Nami?"

"I..." Roman opened his mouth, but his throat was as dry as a desert.

"Come, drink water."

Without waiting for Roman to say anything, Nami carefully helped him up, took the pillow and put it behind Roman.Then he poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.

"thanks···"

ton ton ton~~
"It's me who should say thank you,"

The orange-haired girl looked at the man without an inch of intact skin. Maybe in the eyes of others, the current Roman is like a monster, but in the eyes of Nami, he is an out-and-out 'hero'!
Compared with the previous Roman who had a straight face, as if everything was 'perfect', Nami felt more...
"Don't worry, I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

???

"My injury hasn't reached the point where I need someone to take care of me, right?"

Although there are serious injuries from the outside to the inside, Roman is very clear that the fatal injury to ordinary people, for him:

"As long as it's not strenuous exercise, I can walk on the ground now."

"But your appearance..."

Nami lowered her eyes, although most men at sea didn't care much about their appearance.But someone like Roman with severe burns all over his body is like a ghost, and can no longer be described as a mere 'disfigurement'.

"Oh, you said that."

Roman raised his hand, and there were crimson cracks under the charred outer skin, like the ferocious earth after the magma solidified.

"Well, it does look a little ugly, but—"

As Roman closed his eyes, he focused on his arms, then:
"Paper Dance - Molting!"

clap,

The charred skin peeled off like 'paper', revealing the pale skin underneath. ——It was even too fair to see the tiny blood vessels in blue and purple under the skin.

"Mmmmm, sure enough..."

Roman nodded with satisfaction. Devil fruit is a magical thing. As long as he has a big enough 'brain hole' and has the physical strength and energy to push the fruit, he can do many incredible things.

brush,

Lifting the quilt, Roman got out of bed and closed his eyes to fully control the power of the fruit.

"Paper Dance - New Growth!"

ka ka ka-

The red dead skin on Roman's body swelled, cracked, and fell off in bursts of clicks!Pieces of charred skin peeled off, revealing a 'brand new' Roman.

Fair skin, inverted triangle shape, plump muscles full of strength, six-pack abs like a vest, slender arms, although thin, but give people a very explosive beauty!The light in the room shone on Roman's concave muscles and painted him a golden hue
tick,

The sound of dripping saliva brought Nami back to her senses, and turned her head blushing quickly.

"Roman, you...you are not...dressed..."

"Oh?"

"Feel sorry."

Roman patted his forehead, and in a clatter, sheets of paper flew out.Forming an ordinary suit on the surface of her body also made Nami, who was quietly peeking next to her, relieved, and a sense of annoyance welled up in her heart.

"Paper Dance - Clothes."

it's a pity·····

"By the way, how will the battle in Aaron Park follow up?"

Although he can stand here, it must be the victory of the human side.But victories and big wins...  
"very smooth,"

Nami stood up and told Roman with a smile.

"After you fell unconscious, those murlocs seemed to go crazy! They even summoned a sea monster as large as a hill from the sea..."

"At this moment, Luffy's Sanji appeared from behind the sea monster and solved the sea monster that could destroy a small town in one move. And those ordinary murlocs were no match for them, and they were all beaten up very quickly. fly·····"

is it?

It seems that Luffy has successfully recruited the 'chef', very good:
Finally I don't have to cook anymore.

Roman touched his 'good as ever' appearance. Although the internal fractures, toxins, etc. were not very good, but the whole body was burnt to charcoal, so he could stand up so quickly...
What an inhuman physique!

------

As night fell, the sea was still calm today.

The grand banquet in Cocosia Village is still going on—the people who once endured humiliation and burdened lives, just for this day to be able to laugh freely.

There are carnivals everywhere, laughter everywhere; bonfires, dances, whether you dance well or not, as long as you immerse yourself in this sea of ​​joy, for the hard-won freedom, in order to finally get rid of the fate of being slaves; let the whole Cococia offers chants and wine to the heroes!
"you······"

When Roman came out of the ward, he looked at the three guys who were said to be equally 'severely injured'.

Tobacco, alcohol, meat.

Very well, the trio of 'Beautiful Swordsman Bringing Meat' is alive!

"Didn't you say that you were both seriously injured?"

Roman glanced at it: Luffy and Sanji first dealt with the Creek Pirates, and then immediately rushed to the aid of Cocosia Village. They should be scarred... But now it seems that they are completely 'unscathed'. .

Even Zoro, who had been stabbed by the eagle eye before, seemed to have disappeared from the wound across his entire chest, and was holding a huge wine glass...
Could it be that everyone in this world has passive abilities such as 'high-speed regeneration' and 'wound healing'?

Romance, who was in doubt, only nodded when he saw the bandages on Nami's shoulders and Usopp's face with gauze everywhere.

Understood, I actually forgot about the fact that all the main members of the Straw Hats were blood cows.

Speaking of blood cows...Roman glanced at Luffy enviously. He was trained by Garp as a child to 'Return of Life' (food version), and he ate the rubber fruit to get super endurance, how many masters and BOOS They were all dragged down by him, it's just a bug...
Forget it, I don't seem to have the right to speak of them.

"Nami-san~~"

As soon as Nami came out, a blond man in a suit named Sanji rolled over!However, facing the scene where Nami ducked back slightly, and then held Roman's hand, Sanji's face became solemn, and he bent down:

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Then he turned around gracefully, and then:
Go around Nami's sister, Noki, tall and courteous.

?

"This······"

Why is Sanji's character a bit...
"You guys continue to eat and drink, I'll take Roman out for a walk."

? ?
This--

Roman looked up at the bright moon in the sky, wondering what was the point of 'going out for a walk' at this time.but:
Forget it, let's do a rehabilitation exercise.

------

With Nami leading the way, Roman was led along by the other party, and the crowd gradually dwindled until it disappeared.Soon, a forest of oranges appeared in their eyes.

"here·····"

Roman remembered clearly that this was Nami's orange grove.But now they are not walking in the direction of Nami's house, but facing the sea:
"Belmel, your daughters are all grown up..."

A voice came from the front, causing Roman to lighten his footsteps subconsciously, and then he realized that he no longer needed to be so cautious.

"Just like you..."

wow,

The sound of liquid pouring out quietly sounded under the moonlight.

"Nami met a comrade who can laugh and cry together..."

"They have already avenged you, and they have unshackled us..."

"The sacrifices we've made... are just too many. All we can do is laugh and live."

? !
The middle-aged man who was talking to himself turned his head, his serious face relaxed.

"It's Nami, is this... Roman?"

No wonder the middle-aged policeman with scars all over his body hesitated. After all, the scene where Roman was burned into an 'African Chief' by flames was too popular. In less than a day, an 'intact' Roman stood in front of him. ･･･
"it's me,"

Roman saw the doubt in the other party's eyes and took the initiative to explain: "It's my Devil Fruit ability. Although it looks healed on the outside, the inside of the body is still a mess."

"That's it," Scar Police nodded with satisfaction, not knowing whether it was because of the magic of Devil Fruits, or...
"Nami, come see Bermel."

"Yes, Uncle Ah Jian."

The Scar policeman named Ah Jian ran to Kaisheng, and in the moonlight, behind him was a small mound of crosses.This shape, needless to say, can be guessed:
Is it the tomb of the one named 'Belmer'?

If combined with the words of the other party just now, it should be: Nami's mother!

"Boy,"

While Nami stepped forward to lay down the offerings for the tomb, the scarred policeman Ah Jian, who passed by Roman's shoulders, whispered:
"Nami is going to sea with you as a pirate,"

"If you make him cry...I can't kill you either."

"Do you understand it?"

-

"clear."

Although it was just a 'threat' without any deterrence, Roman still nodded seriously, "I don't have the habit of making my companions cry, you can rest assured."

"That's good·····"

After the police uncle Ah Jian left, Nami had quietly finished the 'paying tribute' and walked to Roman, looking up at the boy under the moonlight.

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful~~"

?

"Roman, although I know you don't care, I still have to say 'thank you' to you again cautiously."

Thank you for avenging my mother, thank you for breaking the shackles on me...
"Also, in the days to come, please take care of me."

Forever

"certainly,"

Facing the girl's 'strange' words, Roman nodded and answered without hesitation: "We are all crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates."

·······
"Pfft~~"

"why are you laughing?"

"nothing,"

Nami first crossed Roman's side, then turned to look at the 'thinking' boy with a brighter smile.

"Come on, let's go back."
