Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 42
On land next to the Twin Gorges Lighthouse.

"Is it okay to let those two people go just like that?"

Nami was a little worried, no matter how you look at this kind of behavior of letting the tiger return to the mountain...
"Don't worry, they'll be back soon."

In the face of Roman's calm words, the other people were all question marks.And Roman didn't plan to sell anything, and spread his palm directly:

In his palm, there is a 'watch'-like thing, but unlike a flat watch, this is a round glass sphere with a slightly shaking pointer inside.

"Record the pointer."

Looking at a few curious faces, Roman had to continue science.

"Many islands on the Great Route have strong magnetic fields, so ordinary compasses are completely unsuitable here. This special recording needle is necessary to navigate..."

"It can 'record' the magnetic force between islands and use it to indicate the direction of the next island..."

Oh~~~X3
Roman's words made Nami, Usopp, and Sanji nodded again and again, with a 'learned' expression.The old man on the other side glanced at Roman:
"I don't see it, you know the Great Route quite well."

"Are you the 'Navigator' of this ship?"

Facing the question of the old man Krokas, Roman shook his head and pointed to Nami who was smiling awkwardly beside him.

"She's our navigator, and as for me—"

Touching his chin and thinking about it, Roman finally gave himself a clear position.

"I'm the 'nanny' on the boat."

???

"It's normal for people to get old and behind their ears..." Kurokas, who was sighed, sighed with his hands behind his back, causing the embarrassed Nami to quickly change the subject.

"Roman, why do you have this 'record pointer'?"

"It's very simple, I took it from the man named Mr.9 just now."

? ?
"Ah this..."

Nami was speechless.Is this stealing?Is it stealing!Unexpectedly, Roman, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually robbed me of my character...

"We rescued them and took a little advantage, right? - Or are you going to continue sailing with a compass that points all over the place?"

"Not too much, not too much..."

As the so-called dead Taoist friends never die, if it weren't for those two 'good-hearted people', their Straw Hat Pirates would be drifting on the sea... But when it comes to straw hats... for a while I heard Luffy playing tricks, it's not scientific at all——! ? ?
"Roman, tell us, is that an illusion? I saw Luffy in..."

On the giant whale Rabu in the sea next to him, a figure holding a mast is galloping all the way up!Let Roman nodded seriously.

"It's not a hallucination, what you see is Luffy himself."

Compared to Nami and Usopp who were horrified, Zoro, Sanji, and Roman have all been 'immune' to Luffy's behavior, and a few of them even chatted casually.

"What is that idiot going to do?"

This is Sanji with a cigarette.

"I don't know, maybe you want to climb a mountain to play?"

This is Zoro holding the three knives around his waist.

"However, he was carrying the mast of the Golden Merry, right—"

"Yes, the main mast."

Usopp, who had the best eyesight, nodded, everyone was speechless, and the scene was very cold for a while.Until he reached the top of the mountain... Above the head of the whale, Luffy, who was completely invisible below, came his iconic:

"rubber--"

? !
"Hey, that guy won't be..."

"Flower arrangement!"

"Boooooooo~~~!!!!!!"

Don't look at it, just listening to the call of this giant whale Rabu, you know that Luffy is playing tricks again!And most likely he attacked the whale...

Boom boom boom!
The huge whale suddenly 'knocked' to the land where everyone was, like a mountain overturning!Because above its head, a figure firmly grasping the mast inserted into its wound made it impossible to do anything.

"Bastard~~"

"You're going to kill us—"

"Run!"

Facing the smashed giant whale, Roman spread his wings instantly, hugged Nami and flew out!The tearful Usopp was still hanging on his feet, and Sanji and Zoro also ran away immediately.Finally before the giant whale Rabu hit the land:

Boom!

A loud bang, the real meaning of the earth shaking!In the splash of soil and stone, there was a 'battle' sound.

"Hey hey, boy!"

The others didn't react yet, but the old man Kurokas was about to rush up anxiously, as if his grandson was being held down! ——But it was immediately pulled by Roman's paper.

"Don't get excited, old man, that guy won't die with a blunt weapon!"

It's just a mere rubbing~~ After thinking about it, Kaido's iron rod and hammer can't stand up...

Sure enough, as Rab raised his head, Luffy, who had just been 'squashed', turned over and got up, and immediately hit Rab's eyeball with a 'rubber-gun', causing the giant whale to scream in pain and shake his head again. Smash Luffy out!
Snapped!
The whole person smashed under the lighthouse where Roman and the others retreated, sliding down slowly like a mural!Facing the angry giant whale and everyone's puzzlement, the boy named Luffy stood up and shouted at Rabu.

"We are tied!!!"

ah this...
"I'm very strong, we have no winner, we must fight another game!"

"Your companion is dead, but I am your opponent!"

"After we circle the great route for a week, let's fight again!!"

-

Fifty years have passed, and the waiting of the whale named Raab has long been meaningless. It is now only suffering.Yet Luffy gave its waiting 'new meaning' again.

Whether it is a friend or an 'opponent', whether it is a human being or a whale, as long as there is hope, they can persevere and live!
"To ask others to wait for you casually, what a willful fellow!"

Although Roman was complaining, he was not impatient.Although Luffy is often out of tune, he is particularly reliable when it comes to critical moments.

"Hmph, this is our captain."

Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, or standing or squatting in the back, looked at Luffy who had made a promise with Rabu the whale, with smiles on the corners of their mouths.

·······
"Okay, get ready to go."

After removing the mast above the whale's head and putting it back on the Golden Merry, I also repaired the broken sheep's bow by the way.It was time for everyone to set sail, but before that, as Roman said:
"Please, take us with you!"

Look at a man and a woman who knelt in front of them and returned: that is, the two people who tried to kill Rabu the whale before, Mr.9 and Miss.Wednesday.

"Thinking beautifully, you guys wanted to kill Rab before~~"

"By the way, who are you?"

Facing Usopp's question, the crooked man with the crown answered solemnly.

"I am a prince."

However:
"lie!"

Even Usopp doesn't believe that there is such a prince who pulls his crotch.

"In short, our identities can't be said, we will die if we say it~~~"

"We don't want to do such sneaky things either, but the 'company' has rules..."

"is it?"

Nami, who looked 'naive', generously agreed to the other party's request.

"We can put you on a boat, but we only have a normal compass..."

"Wh...what, then you came to the great route to die!!"

"It made us humiliate, so you didn't go there, didn't you—"

The two who had just knelt down and prayed stood up in anger!
"Ah, we just picked up a good thing," Nami took out the record pointer Roman gave her with an 'innocent' face. "So you don't want to take our boat~~"

"You have a lot, just treat us as..." X2
The two people who were cast to the ground burst into tears!
That's clearly our pointer.
"Come on board."

Facing the two being played by Nami, Luffy made a random decision.

Since the captain had spoken, of course no one would object, and soon the group said goodbye to Rabu the whale, and set sail after the old man Kurokas, who was guarding the lighthouse.

Facing the Golden Merry, which was gradually moving away, the old man's face gradually became serious.

"Is this the one we're waiting for?"

"What a handsome boy, you say, Roger."

After speaking, he turned to look in the direction of the lighthouse behind him.

"Then why did you stay?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the seniors,"

In the calm voice, Roman slowly walked out from behind the lighthouse.Obviously, on the distant Golden Merry, a 'Roman' was driving the ship seriously!

"Is it a puppet created by fruit power?"

Facing the sharp eyes of the old man named Kurokas, 'Roman' under the lighthouse spread his hands.

"It was seen through at a glance,"

"As expected of the pirate king Gol D. Roger's ship doctor."
