Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 38
"Hahaha--"

Bang!
"How big are you? You almost scared us to death, you know?!"

In the face of the furious Roman Reigns, Luffy, who was punched, could only say "yes, yes" without any dignity, but he immediately changed the subject with great spirit:
"What about Nami and Usopp?"

"They went back to the ship with their purchases first."

When it comes to business, Roman put away the mood that Luffy just made up and down.

"Nami said there was going to be a storm soon, and she and Usopp went to watch the boat first. - It would be miserable if it was blown away."

After Roman's own merchant ship left all the weapons in the village of Cocosia, the entire ship itself was dismantled as materials to build a seaside fortress.With Roman's cautious personality, he didn't want to have the bullshit thing like the owner of a merchant ship find Cocosia Village one day.

So, now they are only left, and they can only go out to sea on the Golden Merry.

"And the navy behind them—"

Roman didn't need to look back, he could easily understand the situation by focusing his attention on the paper crane that was left in the square just now.

"Fortunately, Bucky's gang gave us back pads, otherwise we would be facing the Navy now."

However, those guys have been trapped in a cloud of smoke, and they are about to be wiped out...

"Quick, quick, there is a tricky guy behind!"

Facing Roman's urging, it aroused the curiosity of the meat, wine, and tobacco trio next to him.

"What tough guy?"

After all, Roman's strength is obvious to all, and even he has a "slipped away" expression, the people behind...
"It's the navy guarding this town! Colonel 'White Hunter' Smoker of the headquarters."

"Colonel..."

"You guys, wake me up!" Seeing the disdainful faces of the three 'Colonels', Roman veins jumped up on his forehead.

"How many times have I said it, that's the headquarter! The headquarter! It's not comparable to the wastes of those branches in the East China Sea—"

"And that Smoker is also a natural devil fruit person..."

"stop!"

A figure and voice standing in the middle of the road interrupted Roman's 'popular science', causing Sanji next to him to accelerate suddenly!
?

"Ah~~"

"beautiful·····"

"Roronoa Zoro!"

However, the girl in glasses standing in the middle of the road ignored Sanji, who had a heart full of pity, and just took a stance of drawing a knife in front of Zoro.

"I didn't expect you to be a pirate,"

"You made fun of me, I will never forgive you!"

"Heh, then try it..."

"Ahhhh! What have you done to other girls—"

Clang!
The two katana swords slashed together suddenly, and even the raindrops in the sky couldn't cover up the splashing sparks.

"You go first,"

Facing Zoro's words, Luffy pulled up Sanji who was "Bastard, actually did something to the lady...", and quickly left over the two of them.Let Roman nodded behind him.

Once in 'battle mode', Luffy is actually quite reliable.

But although it is said to be a battle, in fact:
After a few tricks, the sergeant named Dasqi was easily disarmed by Zoro and used a knife 'wall dong' beside the street.

"I won't lose to a swordsman until I become number one in the world."

After the ruthless three-knife flow finished speaking, he turned around and closed the knife.

"Goodbye."

···········
Very good, Sauron is very reliable if he doesn't get lost.

"There's someone ahead!"

?

Roman, who was in the center of the team, looked up and saw a man with silver-gray hair and two cigars standing in front of him.Although it looks like a 'wicked person', it can still be seen from the other party's coat:

"Navy? Get out of the way—"

Facing Luffy who was rushing at high speed, the other party just waved his hand, and a white smoke suddenly filled in!Before Luffy could react, the smoke instantly bound Luffy in place like a living creature!
It was obviously just the smoke of invisible matter, but Luffy couldn't break free with all his strength.

"asshole,"

Seeing Luffy in danger, Sanji galloped over.The legs capable of kicking the rocks suddenly flew towards the opponent!
"Shoulder meat!"

then:

puff,
The ferocious kick 'passed' through the opponent's cheek, empty and effortless!And the big silver-haired man with half of his face spread out just glanced coldly.

"You're in the way, get out!"

"White-smoke bomb."

boom--

With just a single punch, Sanji, who was unprepared for the 'Natural Devil Fruit', was smashed into the air.

"Sanji!"

"Rubber-gun!"

Luffy, who barely broke free of one hand, threw a punch to counterattack, but the place where his fist landed was also empty, only a cloud of smoke!
call--

In the smoke beside him, a man with silver hair suddenly solidified!He grabbed Luffy's head from behind and slammed it on the ground, taunting him while pulling out the weapon behind him.

"You are actually worth 3000 million Bailey?"

Just this level.

"The end of your luck—"

shhhhhh!
The sound of a series of sharp weapons breaking through the air came, and several white arrows swept across the rain screen and hit the big silver-haired navy man, causing him to spit out a puff of smoke in disdain.

It's useless.

Puff puff,

The arrow passed through the body, but the wound was full of smoke!Just need to 'elementalize' oneself, this kind of attack simply...

"Paper Dance-"

But Roman who launched the attack originally wanted the other party to take the initiative to enter elementalization, because of this:
"Windmill!"

Huhuhu-! !

The huge 'pinwheel' created by Roman's ability spun at high speed, and a man-made gust of wind blew into the 'elemental' Smog and leaped backwards, white smoke drifted backwards!He had to release the 'elementalization' in mid-air, and suddenly insert the weapon in his hand into the ground to fix his body.

"you are?"

"I can't let you hurt my captain at will."

Roman glanced at Luffy and Sanji who were freed from their restraints, and Zoro who came from behind.He tilted his head in the direction of the harbor.

"Run!"

? ?
"My windmill won't last long in the rain!"

Having said that, the trio turned around without hesitation and ran!
"Run~"

"Hmph, your companion left you and ran away."

In the blink of an eye, the trio had only a few dots left.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about it—"

Just when Roman was thinking about how to get out, a familiar voice came from behind.

"rubber rubber-"

An ominous premonition came to mind!Sure enough, the next second.

Snapped,
A hand grabbed Roman's back collar, and then:

"-Rocket!"

I TM-

call out! ! !
Immediately experiencing a 'human cannon', Roman's swear words were caught in his throat by the suddenly tightened collar!The surrounding scenery suddenly began to retreat at a high speed, the whole person was dragged and galloped backward at a high speed, and only his long shouts were dragged in the wind.

"Road~~~Fly~~~~~~~"

"Hahaha, victory escape!"

------

"Well, while the experience wasn't very comfortable, I have to say it worked."

In the wind and waves, the Golden Merry cut through the waves and moved forward.

On the deck, Roman touched his chin, seriously considering whether Luffy's 'moving' method could be popularized.

"No no no, we definitely don't want to have this experience!"

Nami and Usopp are not sensitive to Roman's 'human cannon' style of movement.

"Look, the lighthouse ahead!"

"After that, it's the great route."

Following Nami's explanation, Sanji brought a wooden barrel from the side.

"Since we are here, let's perform a ceremony."

Putting one foot on the barrel and telling one's dream is an ancient oath when starting out among pirates.

"This······"

"Roman, come here~~~"

Facing the smiling faces of Luffy and everyone, Roman, who has always been serious, also smiled, letting the 'white knight' paper puppet take control of the rudder, walking to the space specially reserved by the people in this circle, and placing one foot on the wooden barrel superior.

boom,
"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"I want to become the world's number one swordsman!"

"I want to find 'Blue Ocean'!"

"I want to draw a chart of the whole world!"

"I...I want to be a brave warrior at sea..."

"Usopp, why did your dream suddenly have a different 'painting style'?"

Facing Roman's complaints, Usopp yelled 'I want you to take care'.So:
Everyone looked at Roman, who was obviously the first crew member Luffy invited, and also the most serious and reliable person on this ship full of surprises, but ah:
"Roman, it's your turn-"

Facing Luffy's words, Roman thought for a while before showing a smile.

"My dream,"

"That's the day you see your dreams come true!"

"Che, what, your dreams are more perfunctory, okay?"

Facing Usopp's complaints, Roman looked up at the cloudy sky with raindrops falling, but he laughed as if he saw a clear sky.

"Hahahahaha~~~~"

"It's really a perfunctory dream, or I'll change it-"

"How about we all go to the end of the world together?"

"Hey, hey, do you think you can change things you bought in the store..."

"Can't you? Hahahaha~~~"

------

"A good companion,"

At the top of the lighthouse, a figure in a cape stood in the wind and rain, with a pair of relieved eyes piercing the stormy sea, looking at the hilarious Golden Merry in the distance.

"Nothing can stop a man from going to sea!"

"Go, Luffy."

"Go make a mess!"
